They are supposed to be a multi-ethnic empire so it makes sense that they would have different accents. The Nilfgaardian language used in-game is definitely based on Dutch, though.

When Geralt invades their personal space, it's an exasperated "Che?" (What?) and the verb structure in sentences resembles part French and Italian.

Am I mistaken, or do the Nilfgaardians speak the same language as the elves do? But yeah, many of their names are very Dutch-like as well, which I love because Dutch names are cool and weird.

The best part of gwent is the look on merchants faces when you ask them to play. The guy over by the baron has the look of "Someone must have tipped people off I suck at this game, people are coming out of the woodwork to challenge me". And a certain leader of a band of rebels planning their next attack,"Oh you got a deck? Let's lay down!"

Just experienced the best segment in the Witcher games... Don't mouseover if you don't want to be spoiled and experience for yourself. It takes place after completing the objectives for finding evidence of Ciri in Novigrad, Velen and Skellige Drunk as gently caress Witchers playing drinking games, dressing up in Yennefer's clothes AND drunk megascope dialing GAME. OF. THE. loving. YEAR.

So I bought the Witcher a couple days back and have been having a blast with it. This is the first Witcher game I've played. There are some janky parts but I absolutely love the storytelling. Especially how most choices seem ambiguous - there's very rarely an outright good/bad choice and half the time poo poo goes worse than you thought regardless. I also love how all the sidequests/missions tend to actually be pretty involved and unique (and you can still run across minor encounters on your map as well). I'm only level 9 so there's a lot more content to go!  Also I definitely take the time out to play gwent each time I run across some peasant who has cards. Gotta collect 'em all!

I know the PC version automatically has whatever the hair DLC is but I just want to shave the beard without forfeiting the chance for it to grow back--I've heard the hair DLC renders the beardgrowing null. Is it possible to just get the shaves? I can't even find a barber anywhere in Velen yet.

So it turns out the Black Ones have secret concentration camps or something right, because other than the unprovoked war thing the game doesn't seem to be giving me a lot of reasons to dislike them like I do everyone else.

Well, you can sell them to some merchants who will take them at a fraction of their true value. That will offload the weight, albeit non optimally. But yeah, you'll want to sell them to a blacksmith. Alternatively, melt them down.

You do realize they're the ones responsible for the entire crisis in the Northern kingdoms? They were the ones behind the assassinations in Witcher 2 that led to the rise of Radovid and the persecution of magic users(They tried to pin the blame on Witchers and the Sorceress lodge). Then there's the war and the countless civilian casualties and yadda yadda yadda.

I think the way it works is the DLC beards are just NPC facial hair options so they don't work with the hair growing tech. If you choose either clean shaven or trimmed short your beard will grow. If you choose one of the other styles it won't.

Yeah, I dunno how anyone can play through NML and not come away hating both armies. Read some of the notices posted on the hanging people, the Nilfgaardians aren't exactly progressive. (btw they practice slavery) (also everyone is starving because one army or another stole all the food) (also unprovoked war of conquest)

Well that's what I mean, other than actually winning a war they don't seem any worse than the other armies. The only real difference I've noticed so far is the Nilfies seem happy to pay more for clearing nasties out of civilian areas.

Well, they do apparently act out punitive measures if they suspect villages have co-operated with enemy troops. Roche mentions that they're about to execute every fifth villager of particular town later in the game, for example. If that's the stuff you're looking for. Edit: They're probably not "worse" than the other armies. The only faction that seems somewhat "good" might be the Skelligers, but it's in a very noble savage-y way. And even those pseudo-vikings seem to enjoy raiding and pillaging. Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 16:45 on May 26, 2015 |

"other than the war" is like saying "Other than the pedophilia, he's a pretty OK guy." EDIT: Keep in mind that the other armies didn't start it, even radovid, megalomaniac mass murderer he is, is essentially reacting to a situation that Emhyr engineered. No matter your opinion on Nilfgaardian wartime law, they started all of this. Comte de Saint-Germain fucked around with this message at 16:46 on May 26, 2015 |

Some people argued in favor of Caesar's Legion so I'm not really surprised that some people like the Nilfgaardians. I guess it's a matter of presentation. The first time you likely meet the legion is in nipton, where they murdered the whole town. In Witcher 3 you meet the fairly reasonable dude in White Orchard.

The herbalist north of Oxenfurt mentioned there was a better herbalist than himself, a druid in Skellige. I got to Skellige but I have no idea where I'd go to look for druids nor which island they might be on. Roughly where is this person? I found a village herbalist but she's obviously not the person the herbalist was talking about.
