Oh man, I thought I was financially pretty secure with my ~3500 crowns saved up. One trip to Skellige with all those recipe-selling merchants and I'm flat broke again.

On that note, gently caress Jenny o the Woods. First time I had to sift through my seventy potions, oils and poo poo to find swallow.

Just do those quests, dude. The bug doesn't affect all main quests, correct? So the worst thing that could happen is you being slightly less overleveled.

I like notice and am not surprised that reddit is on the bleeding edge of posting naked models of the 4 main women in the game. I can't help but ask myself, why would you feel the need to post nudes of Keira or Yen when you have the option to have full blown sex with them in the game? It's as though there isn't any nudity in the game so these guys have to post about how great :nws: these naked 4 :nws: look (they all look exactly the same) and how they can't wait for modding tools to be released. I thought Skyrim was a desperate shithole full of truly horrible people, I can't wait to see the witcher 3 section of TES Nexus.

It's hard to betray something you were never really part of. Book Spoilers

Yennifer was blindsided and kidnapped by Francesca Findabair during the Thanedd coup. Then taken back to Dol Blathanna. When the lodge was formed Francesca changed Yennifer back from statue to person. Ensured she couldn't escape. Demanded from Philippa that she be allowed 3 seats in the Lodge and then took Yennifer to the first meeting forcibly(I guess because Francesca is an idiot and wanted to stack the Lodge with as many elves as possible and Yennifer is 1/4th elvish.) While there they dampened the entire proceedings to keep Yennifer from escaping and basically told her if she didn't agree to join the lodge they were going to shank her. She only escaped because Fringilla Vigo clued her in to a dangerous trick she could use to circumvent the magical imprisonment.

The author of the books comes across as kind of a grumpy old man these days but I'm interested to see the remaining books in english and I feel like they're pretty well regarded overall. I've only read the short story collection personally, which I liked well enough.

God dammit, I thought CDPR was being cool and not doing a Ciri naked scene, she's your surrogate daughter and even if Geralt wasn't present, it changes how the player is supposed to view her.

I know this is The Witcher, but not every pretty girl has to get naked, I thought you established this with that Rosa var Attre chick?

I think it's sort of interesting that Ciri has a nude model - and more importantly that she has one that isn't just a default female nude (she's got an intimately placed tattoo). Surely Geralt never sees her naked in the game? And I somehow doubt any of the flashbacks end up that way either.

Is there a naked scene? I figured it was just nerds putting her head on a generic naked woman model because they all look the same.

Minor spoiler about accidentally losing access to a certain quest(s?) by progressing a major Skellige sidequest: Don't pursue the 'crowning a new king' quest line until you've done the Cave of Dreams quest, since one of the NPCs necessary for it (Blueboy Lugos) dies.

I'm pretty sure there's no naked scenes of Ciri in the game, so I'm not entirely sure why there's a nude model of her.

Not technically no. One of her flashbacks has her in her underwear and bandages and you're in a sauna with Skellige women, they're mostly naked and Ciri isn't, but you can see the tattoo if you opted to not use a towel. But you don't see anything else, weirdo.

You can see that tattoo in game and she gets asked about it in Skellige when you go to the sauna with the women. She is never fully naked in the game, however. Which is really good and I'm glad they didn't do it since it'd royally gently caress up the tone.

Sometimes when the game chugs and has problems loading textures and models you can see that all female models have a generic nude body, so you're probably right.

Edit: Just looked through some Shadowplay footage I have and there's one instance where you can clearly see this is correct.

Amen brother. I gave up on the final one in Novigrad because my horse kept stopping dead right before the finish line and then there's a random fun one later in the game that I lost the same loving way. I just started jogging everywhere after awhile.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

For all the attention to detail in this game there's a few lapses that bother me mkre than they should, and someone reminded me about one so lemme vent a bit:

* Sarah says your yellow eyes are scary, but hers are pretty. She doesn't have yellow eyes, though, they're blue. Johnny has yellow eyes. Maybe a weird translation and she didn't mean to imply that her eyes are yellow, or maybe at some point all Godlings were supposed to have yellow eyes?

* Dudu says he likes being human, and that's why he adopted his primary form. Except his primary form is a halfling, not a human.

* Dijktra (or however that's spelled) has an assumed identity because he prefers people not to know of his notorious past - except that everyone always calls him by his real name and he never complains when you or someone else does so in public. The only time I can think of where this wasn't true was the masquerade ball, where Geralt uses his assumed name to greet him.

The final Skellige race was a real pain in the rear end. There's a bridge that always seems to make you stop galloping and the final corner is lined with people that make you come to a dead stop if you so much as graze one of them.

You can advance the storyline up until you need to go to the isle of mist without any consequence, and if you pass that point the only penalty is missing one part of Brother in Arms: Skellige. King's Gambit itself is still available afterward.

The racing segments really do a great job of emphasizing just how loving janky your out-of combat movement is.

Maybe the enhanced edition will have a triathalon with an underwater segment to nail the trifecta of awful controls.

Also thinking about it,it's weird how this series went from Women Are Literal Collectibles to We Have Some of the Best Female Characters Ever.

Like even a total piece of work like Phillipa still rules, that quest where she and Geralt just wander through a cave relentlessly making GBS threads on each other is so goddamn good.

I tried wearing the grey/yellow tunic with skellige breeches and festive skellige slippers, and she comments how I chose to go with my own outfit and it doesn't fit with her's, and if I wear the blue tunic she asks what the hell am I wearing. Am I wearing the wrong of the two available breeches or did Yen forget these are the options she gave me? :argh:

I wish the game would clear toxicity for cutscenes. Though it is pretty funny that Geralt always has horrible bulged out, purple veins and super pale skin whenever a serious conversation follows a battle.
