Xander77 posted:Yes, that and the Sorceress Lodge intrigue around it. Basically, a large chunk of the game's plot that you're completely missing when you're playing on Roche's path. You definitely know about the Lodge and what they're doing on Roche's path. You don't know that they're controlling Saskia but given that they're sorcerers, it's fair to assume anyway that they have a hand in every major conflict Someone in the prolog even pointed out that the Dragon is only attacking Foltest's men, implying some kind of control which only a sorcerer could execute. Saladman posted:I'm pretty psyched for this. Is there any news that the combat is going to be different (i.e. not utter garbage)? I skipped the Witcher until I got it with GWG on the 360 and was impressed. It scratches the Dragon Age itch that I refused to scratch after I got herpes from Dragon Age 2. You actually have to dodge on Hard and above but once you got that down, there's not much difference between the difficulties. I also think Quen is useless because it can't take enough hits and the blocked Vigor regeneration just makes it worse than dodging. I think the only time I ever used it was against the Dragon because gently caress trying to get hits in with its 0.2 second attack animation. The combat seems to be similar in W3, trading pirouettes for rolls. GrossMurpel fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Jan 27, 2015 |

Charlie Mopps posted:The first one is good too. But you need to find some cheats or trainers or mods or whatever to make the combat easy so you can just plow through the game because the combat is the shittiest part. i do think it has the better atmosphere and music and such things. I did like the first one, I just can't recommend it to anyone because one of the things I remember is getting stuck in the lovely detective quest, where it bugged out and made me lose a few hours of progress.

Comte de Saint-Germain posted:(I don't really think the Nilfgaardians are the good guys, the whole point is that there aren't any.) They are, however, the invading army, which means that they all get murdered the second i get the chance. As a character in one of Sapkowski's other novels said while his troops were finishing off wounded soldiers of an invading army after a won battle, "we didn't invite them here".

I've always found (especially with the detective bits in TW1 and the Act 2 split in TW2) that the narrative either requires a bit of extra thought OR just assumes you already know things it didn't overtly tell you. In my only playthrough of TW2 I went with the Roche Act 2 and come Act 3 it kept talking about the dragon and various characters and some things that happened on the other side of the field that I had NO recollection of like I'd been there and talked to them the whole time. I had to check online for some mild explanation. But Letho's two hour infodump helped significantly. I think I'm the only one to have enjoyed combat in both games. Save those swamp plants from TW1. No matter what I drank or did I could never kill them before they got me.

No you're not, I blazed through 1 in a weekend it's fantastic, but stopped playing TW2 somewhere between the awful arena tutorial and the ingame tutorial when you start fighting on those siege walls. I have no idea what they were thinking with those controls

I loved both combat systems as well. I guess 1 is more "RPG-y" where you don't have as much control but I like both ways. Just don't go into the swamp at night unless you wanna do the Echinopsae Contract. And when you do, Igni Igni Igni Igni Igni Igni Igni. sauer kraut posted:No you're not, I blazed through 1 in a weekend it's fantastic, but stopped playing TW2 somewhere between the awful arena tutorial and the ingame tutorial when you start fighting on those siege walls.

Show of hands, who has played TW2 on the 360 instead of the PC? I played through Iorveth's path on the PC but lost all my saves in a HD crash. I have chanced upon a 360 copy and one of the dev videos promised cross-platform save imports so...

The way they made it sound in the livestream Q&A, it's not save import proper but a KotOR2-like conversation where you get to set your variables, so you probably don't even need to play the game again. Though, you know, feel free to do it if you have time and enjoy doing so.

It's only that way 'til this coming Sunday so hop on that poo poo now! It's always on your account as long as you start the download so if you don't have the space or want to play it right now you don't have to! That said,  But hey, if you want free TW2 on your 360, there you go!

Aumanor posted:A quick reminder that Emhyr gave his armies clear orders to commit straight-up genocide on the occupied northern territories, and to drive the survivors into slavery, so the whole "Nilfgard is more civilised than the Northern Kingdoms" really, REALLY doesn't hold water. I'll be incredibly disappointed if I don't get to kill the fucker in Witcher 3. Was the fact that the Nilfgaardians are literally wearing the colors of the Holy Roman Empire (aka Germans) not enough for some people? There's a ton of clear parallels with real world countries. Redania is England, what with having Oxenfurt the academy town (Oxford), the Order of the Flaming Rose (War of the Roses), and being across a very long river channel from Fantasy France, AKA Temeria (Fleur de Lys). Aedirn is Poland, and Kaedwen is Russia/Slavic countries. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Jan 28, 2015 |

Any news yet on graphics comparisons? I'm gonna have to get this on PS4 as I'm moving into my new house in the coming months and can't really afford to upgrade my PC. Just really hope the game looks amazing and runs smooth, also any more news on ways people have played the previous games can input their choices. I don't even have my previous Witcher save files on my PC

I recently replayed TW1 and I had forgotten how tough echinops/archspores wore. Chugging a blizzard potion and attacking with a torch rather than your silver sword works real well for chapter 1 & 2.

Arcsquad12 posted:Was the fact that the Nilfgaardians are literally wearing the colors of the Holy Roman Empire (aka Germans) not enough for some people? Redania is Poland. They got numerous noblemen their crest is white eagle on a red background. Aedirn is Germany or Silesia, industrious, with access to minerals from mountains. Also their colours are similar to present German flag.  Of course Redania has Novigrad (Novgorod?) and Oxenfurt, but Kaedwen is full of celtic names, so finding 100% analogues won't work.

Aedirn is Algeria because they both start with an A. Redania is Texas because Texas has a furt of oxen which is Latin for "lot of oxen". And Kaedwen is Greenland because its green on this map I googled.

This is my most anticipated game of 2015-20XX. Goddammit why can't it be released already. Also, I highly recommend reading the novels. I've played the previous two games but nothing in them has been as helpful in explaining the overall world as the books have been. Plus, they're pretty good in general.

Physiologus posted:"A witchman is by some called a witcher. Summoning him is dangerous, yet he must be called at times. When none can stand against an accursed monster, a witchman will. Do not touch the witchman, for you will become mangy. Remember also to hide the lasses from him, for the witchman is lecherous beyond imagination. Though the witchman craves silver, never pay him more than the following: a silver penny for a drowner, two silver pennies for a werecat, four silver pennies for a vampire."

Comte de Saint-Germain posted:Secret insider info: there is sex in this game 16 hours of motion-captured sex, according to The Guardian. quote:But the development team behind forthcoming fantasy adventure title The Witcher: Wild Hunt seems unfazed by either moral or technical concerns. The game, due for release in May, contains 16 hours of sex scene motion capture data (used to animate the 3D mannequins into their various lifelike positions). There may not be any of Houser’s dildo sex in the George RR Martin-esque fantasy plains, but there is a Hugh Hefnerian amount of lovemaking. It comes quickly, too. Within the first 15 seconds the camera droops to linger on a woman’s fulsome posterior, moments after dismounting the protagonist, the white-haired monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia.
