Well yeah but the trials are specifically tuned for males so trying them on a girl is really risky when even men have a low survival rate. Even if there were female Witchers I don't think Geralt would want to risk the 90% chance of losing his kid. EDIT: quote:

Interesting because that is still a lot of skin In the arabic version she's not allowed to put her hair up, which honestly, baffles me as it goes against everything I thought I knew about arab custom I'll ask about it tomorrow.

But I think the laws vary pretty widely depending on the specific country/flavor of Islam?

It's really more about arab culture than islamic law, I'm pretty sure.in most islamic countries they will be playing in english.

Kotaku did a beginner's guide to the world of the Witcher. I haven't read the whole thing yet but the one they did for DA:I was pretty good and if nothing else it'll probably be a good reminder of things if you haven't (re)played Witcher 2 recently.

GrossMurpel posted:Where in the books do they talk about the plague? And where are you taking the dates from? There are a few timelines floating around, I was using the one listed on the wiki which I'm assuming is pulled from Andrzej Sapkowski's website. The games drop a few dates as well. It's mentioned in A Question of Price in The Last Wish when someone is telling The Witcher universe's version of Rumpelstiltskin. And it's in Baptism of Fire they encounter a village with the plague, looking back at it that was black smallpox and not the bubonic. I'm guessing their plague was always black smallpox until Ciri came along and hosed it all up. E: Dudu is in the game. NICE. Salsa McManus fucked around with this message at 23:00 on May 14, 2015 |

I can only imagine how loving awesome the Cyberpunk one will be when it comes out. Also, the Night To Remember vid was fantastic. I'm having beer goggle flashbacks though, I think I dated her once.

that launch trailer thing, besides being a cool callback to the princess adda cinematic in the first game, gives me hope there's more of the old monster hunting from 1 in this than there was in 2. That was always my favourite part, running around the medieval-ish towns hunting vampires and what not.

In anticipation of this game, I loaded up the copy of Witcher 2 I never played more than once. Last time I tried, I skipped the tutorial, then died on the first couple encounters a dozen times. This time? I skipped the tutorial then died on the first couple encounters a dozen times. I think I'm going to go through that tutorial now.

It'll still likely happen for an hour or two. I beat the game and last night the prologue killed me a few times because I forgot how fragile you start and how "committal" the combat is. You click and you're locked into swinging. Sometimes. I now see why people were complaining about clicking and hoping Geralt would attack, sometimes he just doesn't feel like it. Somehow I never noticed my first playthrough.

Confirmed my pre-order today with my whopping 10% psn discount, as my local store is not doing an early release this time. I am so glad the pre-order is loading now, to give my dinosaur-like internet a chance to download. I did not get the expansion pass because I dream that by the time the all-dlc edition of the game comes out I will have a PC capable of running it. Also to make sure I actually like it but you know...I don't think I'm that guy.

The combat system for this game looks extremely bad. e- Well it just reminds me a lot of those assassin's creed games. In those games you could just button mash your way out of everything. Vorik fucked around with this message at 00:24 on May 15, 2015 |

Should I play the second game? I have it lurking on my hard drive and have only played the first section which ends(???) in a fight with you against some knight or captain or something. I played the first and got bored in the city area and stopped playing it.
