I figured there were a few cases in which the Succubus probably killed someone trying to help the person they'd enthralled, so between that and having whack goat-horns and legs they just became another monster and a threat. They dont seem to be a threat to the individual in question, instead just those who try and disrupt their symbiotic relationship

Also, having been burned by Witch Hunters who asked me to turn my weapons in, I was 50/50 on whether the same poo poo was going to happen again. People are willing to burn other people at the stake for having pointy ears, Succubi are magic women with horns and goat legs.

ffs, I missed my chance to beat the Baron at Gwent. I hate it when choices like that are clouded. At least with the White Orchard bitch we get the card from an alternate source when she fucks off. Why th gently caress can't we loot these cards from the dead VIPs?

Lambert is a complete shithead, he literally uses the phrase "I'm just telling it like it is"  to excuse his terrible people skills.That doesn't make him a bad character though, he and Eskel are both representative of stereotypical ways of how witchers are often perceived but they are both still relatable dudes. Plus the dude looks sick in a hat.

Azazell0 posted:I was just doing Cabaret quest and holy poo poo this turned from a very light hearted comedy romp into something quite different in one instant. I love how the game plays with your expectations like that. That quest had one of my favorite Geralt lines if you decide to go off script: more like Crimson rear end in a top hat  Also really liked that quest, but one thing I was wondering after recently beating the game: is there any closure on Priscilla? Her character page never gets updated and I don't recall any mention of her once the quest ends. I know the mortician guy said she was healing well but it'd have been nice for her to pop up again somewhere. Really liked her character.

Eh, to be fair, the contracts for Succubi in W3 are mostly due to misunderstandings. None of them requires you to kill them, and none of the contract givers know what the target of the bounty is exactly.

It's a small thing, but I can see people wanting more representatively ethnically diverse or gendered actual humans given substantial parts in their entertainment. I can't believe you could play this game for a zillion hours and turn around and go "yeah but Elves aren't human so using them as a stand-in for oppressed minorities is insulting" :facepalm: Elves and dwarves are actually human in the Witcherverse. They're subspecies (implied to have been) genetically engineered from human stock and are interfertile with base humans.

NeurosisHead posted:Horns don't double hero values though. Yeah the Impera Guards and Black Archers accounted for 100 points, heroes and fire scorpions the other 100 without doubling because I had like 20 cards on the board. I'm not saying you'll do it every time, but I think I spied like 6 or 7 times that game and left nothing in the discard pile. Playing against North so I had their spies in my discard.

Just finished off the last Witcher contract. The Beast in Oxenfurt Woods or whatever it's called. I was actually a few levels under the requirement so it was actually a bit challenging again. I knocked off most of the other contracts without an issue. Am I ever going to get these stupid statues looked at by Triss? We're back in Novigrad doing post Kaer Morhen battle/Sabbath crashing and she never has time for my stupid little dolls.

jaete posted:Wait, weren't the elves and dwarves the original inhabitants of the planet, with humans only arriving later with the conjunction (along with magic & monsters)? Or are you talking about some kind of time travel thing? It's not Earth and there is definitely interstellar/interdimensional travel in the Witcher. There's no real reason to believe that humanoid life originated on this world. One theory is that the Witcher world is a colony collapse scenario, in which Elves and Dwarves were genetically-engineered colonists and built a low-population ecologically friendly paradise colony. An unknown cataclysm brought many basic human refugees with suspiciously advanced technology (for example the ability to design and create the Witcher mutants) and hordes of monsters. The elven paradise and the advanced human technology collapsed with a suddenly much larger population, dangerous monsters, and lack of industrial base on Elf World. In the time (how long???) since the Conjunction human civilization has struggled back to a Renaissance level and systematically displaced the eco-friendly slow-breeding Elf subspecies while dominating the Dwarf subspecies. The size of some elf ruins also suggests that pre-Conjunction civilization was more technologically advanced. As of Witcher 3 it's indisputable fact that phenotypically identical elves live on multiple worlds. Occam's Razor suggests a common origin: elves must have been colonists at some point. It's just conjecture, but it is plausible and explains why humans and elves are interfertile and why science is surprisingly advanced in some areas like microbiology.

Memento posted:edited to add: I've missed about a thousand posts out of this thread due to work getting crazy the last few days, has anyone discussed or had any luck with the xp fixing mod over on Nexus? Works/doesn't work? I'm not even getting xp from main quests anymore, and it's souring me somewhat on playing until it gets fixed. But it's the long weekend and my wife and kid will be in the country for most of it and I want to get my Witcher on... XP fix mod worked for me, you get slightly less XP from all quests but gray quests give you a small bit of XP now which makes up for it. Dunno how it'll react to the patch though, my test with uninstalling it and reloading a save after using it didn't cause any issues so it should hopefully work fine with the patch though.

I'll probably shotgun about 15 hours at a stretch on Sunday, which is something I haven't done with a video game for about a decade. This game, it is good.

I will never get tired of Geralt eating poo poo whenever he dies or otherwise gets ragdolled somehow. The loading screens in this game are particularly long because of the whole open world thing but I can't get mad when I die because Geralt flopping around like a fish makes me laugh every time. This one time I made a fatal error and hopped off a cliff that was like four feet tall, which caused Geralt's weak baby knees to spontaneously combust or whatever causes him to take insane fall damage, propelling him approximately two Geralts' lengths skyward for basically no reason.

The way the mod works is by setting every quest level in the rewards.xml to 68 so that some amount of XP is always rewarded for completing a quest. Quests are still properly shown as Green, Grey and Red in the Log however. So it should hopefully play together with the patch but I would recommend uninstalling it before updating.

I decided to run back to the witcher castle after doing the Lambert poo poo, instead of just saying "yeah let's go" and letting the game handle it. Well turns out you have to run through all the caves and then deal with the boat travel to do that. So I was hoping to at least avoid the caves, so I got Roach and tried running but there's no way down except the caves. So I was like okay I'll just jump over the side and slowly scale down the mountain. That is not an options just FYI. If you jump over the fence the game just thinks you're gonna fall to your death anyway and you I died from fall damage real quick. I bet Ciri could've jumped down without any problems

Just beat the game and got what I think is the best end with Ciri being alive and becoming a witcher under Geralt. Hoping CDPR puts in some good post game content or a new game+ of some kind, as of now, I'm just clearing the question marks and getting into Gwent which I've been mostly putting off the entire game and it's actually pretty fun
