Finally got Dandelion back and man the first poo poo out of his mouth is to blame me. I love this guy. He gets all of Geralt's glares.

I liked foltest, the initial impression of him from 2 was he knew his siege was was completely in charge of the situation. Also, I would clear an encampment, peasants move in, immediately talk poo poo about witchers being subhuman. Nilfs don't do that, so I'd rather hang with them.

Everyone hating Witchers makes it all the more special when someone's nice to you. Godlings and Witchers ride together and die together.

Man that Whispering Hillock quest...at least I saved the kids.  Really could have tempered that bitter with a little bit of sweet by showing them escaping.Spoiler for outcome of the quest (Comte please read): Please have the Bloody Baron drop his Gwent card at his feet when he hangs himself. I can't get it now! Witcher Rules (work in progress): If you kill or cause the death of an innocent, you die (if possible). If you lie to the Witcher you don't get helped or get fleeced as hard as possible. Talk poo poo to the Witcher and you get hosed up. Don't kill a fellow Witcher. Quality witching = getting paid.

Found a level 5 bandit camp, and some level 20 drowner just massacred them all on a rampage and took off back into the sea. I looted everything in camp and it's not greyed out...

Even with the latest patch I still get a "no disk in drive F:" error when I launch the game. But it works fine afterwards, so ehh. v vEdit: The last patch seems to have broken pressing "E" to collect loot. Have to hit spacebar every time.

No. I mentioned this like five posts earlier: There are at least 4 oils I know of that require an Ekimmara hide to upgrade and there are, I believe, only three Ekimmaras in the game. Locations spoiled below: 1. Griffen armor treasure hunt, the dragon-something shrine. 2. The quest where you hook up with your buddy lambert for some revenge (I haven't finished this quest yet, but you fight an Ekimmara at the beginning. 3. The Mystery of the Byway Murders Like I said, one of the first things I want modded (or to mod if I have the time) is to make some mob types respawn. I don't have any idea of this will even be possible, but it's something I want.

Lord Lambeth posted:Speaking of kings, does Stennis show up in Witcher 3 in any way? I'm not expecting physical presence but a letter or something would be nice. You know, if you choose the "answer questions to determine the events of the previous game" option the question of Stennis' fate never comes up even if you chose to have gone with Iorveth. Also, the ambassador you can ask about the political situation claims that Aedirn offered practically no resistance. I suspect they simply decided that the events of the Roche path are canon (where Stennis is automatically killed by the battlefield wraiths at the beginning of Act 2).

Thematically, that works for the world too. Roche patch is crapsack world cranked to 11. Iorveth is all "free vergen and equal rights and brotherhood and happy drunken dwarves" which doesn't work in the witcherverse outside of fever dreams.

Comte de Saint-Germain posted:The very first thing I said regarding this discussion: To be fair, the reasons to hate Nilfguardians are pretty much just "they're a medieval army" Whereas the northerners are not just an army, but also witch burners and extreme racists. As US citizen, anything that resembles the American south needs to be crushed posthaste, so gently caress the northern realms.

I don't mind there being a resource limiting your upgrades, although it'd be cool if it was made more explicit (THIS IS A RARE COMPONENT). Also maybe I missed them but there really should have been tutorials on how toxicity interacts. I knew enough because I've played the last two games, but it wasn't clear right away how deconcoctions, potions, and the various alchemy talents interacted.

Delacroix posted:There's some Italian in there as well. When Geralt invades their personal space, it's an exasperated "Che?" (What?) and the verb structure in sentences resembles part French and Italian. Some of their swearing is definitely (slightly archaic) german, though. "Bloede pest!" Ice Fist posted:Nilfgaardians don't really like mages either. However, their view is pragmatic: "Do what we say and you can practice you magic stuff. Don't do what we want and we'll kill you." Then again, with all the poo poo the Lodge has been pulling, you can kinda see why the black ones have that policy. On a fully positive note, they're not even remotely as much into persecuting nonhumans. Broken Cog posted:Foltest was a sister-fucker, but at least that's not really something that harms his or other's subjects. OTOH he also treated war as a loving game and you started out Witcher 2 with him having a grand old time besieging a temerian city and afterwards letting his men go on the customary looting and burning spree.

Dreylad posted:Ah sorry didn't see it. I think I found two. It's cool, I didn't mean to come off as a "HOW DID YOU NOT READ MY POST YOU JERK" so sorry. Anyway, I don't necessarily mind it either - but it does bother me that in this Red Dead: Witcher/Monster Hunter simulator that there are some, non boss (non-unique really) that have limited numbers. There is an endless supply of Endregas, Ghouls, Nekkars, Wolves, Bears, Wraiths etc, but if you want to fight a cool vampire enemy lol nope go kill your six hundreth drowner. I'm not saying there should be packs of rare enemies, but I think there should be a location - let's say a tomb, where once every game week three Ekimmara's spawn there. That way they remain relatively rare, but the player can occasionally go "I'm going to hunt vampires" and then go do that thing and get some rare/limited mats too. Archimago posted:You may be able to accomplish that with this: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/28/ Yeah, I'm probably not going to do that because ~my immersion~. I'm basically asking that a monster hunter game let me kill more monsters.

I think I realized what I never liked about Witcher 2 and now 3's combat, the combat strings are randomised or at the very least you don't got a good control on what comes out. Basically, a poke should always have the same input, and not have me twirl when all that Drowner need is another quick stab on his eye. At least parry is very lenient.

I haven't made it past the first area so something later might prove me wrong but if it weren't for the war, I'm getting the impression that life under Nilfgaard's rule would be overall better than it was in the northern kingdoms up to now. They seem more civilized, have a stronger industry and aren't huge racists for a start. They are still dicks but in this word (almost) everyone is. Like rather than hating Nilfgaard I'm feeling like Radovid and all those "Go Temeria" kind of rebels should just capitulate so we can get this war thing over with.

Pylons posted:But Nilfgaard openly practices slavery??? That will end though. Slavery always ends. And the wider the empire is spread, the easier to rebel. There's also a difference between their roman style slavery and the race based slavery of the south. And serfdom isn't really better than slavery. I'm more looking long term. Both sides are shite, but Nilfguard has a much higher chance of being a decent place to live.

Solartide posted:I got like 20 pounds/kilos of crossbow bolts, on the one hand I don't want to drop them because they seem to be very versatile, on the other hand, I never use them because Igni. True, but you could use them to start the fight. Crossbow something, piss it off/kill it, then have it eat magic flamethrower when it closes. Win/Win. Edit: There doesn't appear to be a central church analogue as we'd know it. The closest is probably Melitele and the Maiden/Mother/Crone iconography it runs with. Dwarves appear to follow this to an extent; not sure if "Mother Creatrix" is another term for her or is another deity altogether. There are a number of smaller cults/Old Gods in the remote areas though--Veyopatis from the flotsam area is a good example. Edit2: You want "Dragon's Dream"--there's even an achievement for tossing one, Igni'ing a guy and then igniting the DD gas cloud. (then repeat it 9 more times) Because Geralt is a colossal dick like that. OAquinas fucked around with this message at 18:59 on May 26, 2015 |
