Triss's VA is the same and sounded waaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse in the last game.

Edit: as for the Wild Hunt it was way cooler in Witcher 1 before they retconned it to be "oh it was just space elfs all along" in 2

They didn't retcon poo poo, the Wild Hunt were interdimensional elves who pretended to be spooky ghosts in the books already.

Absolutely nothing except those four choices has any impact.

No-one should get hung on stuff crossing over between the games.

It's still not equivalent to actual Witcher 2 save, for one, you get to keep your Witcher 2 tattoo from real import and don't get it in simulated save.

There are issues with Muster decks, too. Dropping a Muster is a big one-time-only commitment, but you need to win two rounds and it's pretty easy for the decks with spies to have enough tempo control to force out a Muster bomb without committing many of their own resources (and Northern Realms is also fully capable of putting out triple-digit rounds if you pass on them without going all-out). Couple that with the fact that mustering with duplicates from the same set in your hand plays them both at the same time and gives card advantage to your opponent and it's pretty much impossible for Monsters not to end up with like half as many cards as their opponent and totally hand over control of the game.

Agreed that Scoi'atel being a bunch of strength 6 dudes with Agile isn't nearly enough to be competitive.

Nilfgaard is also capable of 200-point rounds, with their four spies and never-leave-a-card-in-the-discard-pile style you can do with a complete deck.

Isn't it a unit insignia tattoo from a unit primarily known for ethnic cleansing? Kinda like everyone getting excited by an SS tattoo IMO.

trip report: bear armour looks unbelievably baller. feel kind of scummy fast travelling all over skellige to get it though and it doesn't fit with my sign/fast attack playstyle at all. i'll probably try to make it work though, at least until I can upgrade the cat armour (which looks scrub-tier by comparison)

I haven't fully built up my Nilfgaard deck yet but with that Emhyr who can steal a card they should outdraw anyone. They have as many spies as the North but about 3 more medics.
The North has spies with less attack but that shouldn't matter once your opponent runs out of cards.

Bear armor is amazing if you use Adrenaline to cast. I pretty much burn/heavy attack nonstop and it's glorious.

The wolf armor looks the best but the ursine set also looks great

I figure the cat set gets better once you start upgrading it, but I didn't care for the base set

I've been hoping to beat this since a week ago, but I have a critical progression bug that they know about and have a fix for but they decided not to hotfix it and wait a week instead so they can put it in a patch

Why, Poland

I like how he has his necklace poking out from under his chain mail. In fact, it seems like each armor style has a different look when it comes to pendent placement.

i think he pulls off the popped collar/trenchcoat look that every redditor covets and looks pretty snazz while doing it tbh

cat armour reminds me of his witcher 1 getup; that is not bad looking but definitely not MLG pro tier. i personally love the gaudy as gently caress stuff they've been putting in since TW2 (though the DLC temerian armour is too much even for me)

Griffin looks amazing when the low sun shines on it, almost gold/black like something out of Deus Ex HR.
Also there's no way I won't play this without a full signs build, gently caress those perma-parrying fuckers burn them all alive.
