8-bit Miniboss posted: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. I could have sworn Ciri had more scars on her because of that scene. Maybe that nude model and the one in the sauna scene are seperate.. I'll wager that Geralt does have a nude model because he did in the last game. He just didn't have a dick.

Dapper Dan posted:Looting poo poo underwater was the biggest pain in the rear end ever. I died three times during the part of the sabbath quest where you have to pick up the coin from the bottom of the pond. That makes it the hardest part in the game for me. Geralt would always drown before I could get him into the perfect position to interact with the only intractable object down there. When I'm sailing around Skelliga and I see a cache on the map, I always say "gently caress it" because it's not worth trying to get Geralt to loot the loving crates underwater.

Should be easy enough. Find where the brothers in arms quest marker is, walk 145 steps away, then look on the map for a piece of land that matches the one in the minimap pictured within a circle of the marker.

Kaer Morhen. The main narrative will take you there. Edit: The Brothers in Arms quest does not take you there. It's shown as being 45 steps away because that's the nearest sign post to quick travel to the map where the quest appears. That said, by the time you have that quest the story will already have taken you to Kaer Morhen. Bugblatter fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Jun 2, 2015 |

So I just got done with Whoreson junior. The end of the quest kind of irritated me because I wanted that gently caress dead, but Geralt's soliloquy is all "you hurt Ciri you gotta die." No Geralt, motherfucker has to die because we are standing in a room with the bodies of the like 6 women he tortured and killed.

No Geralt, motherfucker has to die because we are standing in a room with the bodies of the like 6 women he tortured and killed. Yeah, I can see the issue with this scene/result. He sort of ignored the nameless people that were tortured etc., which isn't terribly egregious given that Geralt had no real connection with them and isn't really an "emotional" guy (thanks to the Witcher transmutation stuff) so he probably had little investment in them or their well being outside of "they're innocent people." However, he's had somewhat of an "appalled" reaction to other events he didn't think highly of, but this seemed to be not one of those which seems odd. A simple adjustment to the line or two could've fixed that scene. It's a weird choice of language used but I guess CDPR's writers had more focus on Geralt being concerned about Ciri and wanting the player to be worried Ciri was hurt, so they put blinders on about the other dead bodies so to speak. Anita Sarkeesian put out a string of tweets sort of along these lines and re-iterated her "Women as Background Decoration" argument recently which seemed fortuitous given your post somewhat in line with that. Edit - Old Dandellion's voice actor sounds better than young Dandellion, Triss sounds odd and I can't place my finger on it. Geralt sounds devoid of a personality, which is weird given that the other Witchers seem to have a personality so I don't know if that's really necessary for him.

Hate to go  for a moment, but they really don't look exactly the same and if you think they do, you might be kinda blind.My wife loves watching RPG stories so she was has been watching a lot of me play through Witcher 3 and she's even commented on how most the women have different body types. This is nowhere more evident than in the bathhouse in Novigrad the first time you go in there. I'm genuinely surprised that they seem to have modeled multiple different size bodies shapes. But if you look between Yen, Triss and Ciri, they all have very different body shapes. tehllama posted:So I just got done with Whoreson junior.

For me it wasn't for Ciri, it was for all the women he killed. Plus, he would have been dangerous if left alive. He still has a loyal gang and he strikes me as a vindictive little bitch. Blue Raider posted:really only geralt triss and dandelion are rough. most characters are noninvasive at worst I feel like I'm the only person in the world who has never had a problem with Geralt's VA (or Triss's for that matter).

Well yeah, and I assumed he was beating the poo poo out of him before they started talking in reaction to that, since he hadn't heard about Ciri yet. The character description also makes it pretty clear that he's an evil gently caress, but Geralt's dialogue after the quest just seems wrong. Of all the obviously evil poo poo this guy has done, Geralt focuses on "you lightly wounded my adoptive daughter who sought you out, armed with a bigass sword, and fought you in single combat" instead of "you murdered/tortured all these helpless people."

Geralt is more hosed up and Witchery than the other Witchers because he had more experiments done on him as a kid. That's why he's less animated than the others. Also his VA is great and really gets Geralt's character, especially his sense of humour.

Rodyle posted:Re: Whoreson, Geralt does express disgust at that, he does it as an incidental line when you are approaching. The whole way the scene was st up was clearly meant to have an impact on the player and Geralt, and in my case it worked really well. This game's choices really bring out the ruthless pragmatist/vengeful shitlord in me - given a choice in most RPGs I tend to just go for the 'good' one since it probably has a better reward, the alternatives are pointlessly dickish, and it's least likely to cut you out of content down the line. In this I find myself being fairly ruthless, partly because I'm playing a character in a sense and partly because the situation genuinely feels like it would demand it.

In the quest "Count Reuven's Treasure," how did you all handle the situation with Triss and the witchhunters? For me, I was escorting Triss into the place but as soon as they were going to take them, I told them to back off and murdered them all. Felt so good doing it and had no remorse in the situation. Also, I've yet to go to Skellege yet, so I've only really had interactions with Triss this game and while she's been manipulative in past games and in the book, so far they've done well to make her sympathetic and it makes the whole Triss vs Yen choice a lot harder.

Oxxidation posted:Found it, for what it's worth. You get to it by asking Letho about his assassination scheme, then talking about the Lodge: Thank you for looking it up. While Letho's theory would explain how Yennefer regained her memory, it does nothing for other lingering questions. Why is Sile de Tancarville one of the few aware of Yennefer's survival and location? Why did the Lodge recruit an unknown witcher to assassinate a king and not dispose of him afterwards? The simplest explanation is Yennefer was in contact with Sile. As Demavend's former advisor, Yennefer would be privy to knowledge that would be invaluable for any assassination attempt. It would be natural for Sile to recruit her. As a conspirator, Yennefer could manipulate the Lodge to ensure Letho testified at the summit. The entire plan falls apart if Yennefer is an unwilling participant. She would need to be unbound and alone during her conversations with Sile to avoid suspicion. In short, she betrayed the Lodge and the northern kingdoms for Nilfgaard. It's a compelling angle to pursue, and I am sad they chose to drop it.

Comrade Flynn posted:Is there a list of what side quests are worthwhile. I just did this huge "family sword" questline in skellige and the grand reward was 20 loving crowns. Just do whichever quests sound interesting to you. Contracts will be worth fair chunks of XP and gold (haggle!), most secondary quests aren't worth much except the really big chains. I can't really think of any quests that reward worthwhile items, which is one of the game's flaws. Your crafted stuff is almost always going to be better than rewards and Relic item drops. A lot of people have commented that they should get rid of the XP and leveling system entirely somehow, because the way monster and loot levels are determined doesn't make all that much sense. Play the quests that are interesting to you, there's almost no grindy content in this game. If you're bored exploring and helping peasants go to Novigrad.
