She went to Oxenfort after the events of the Witcher 1, so I assumed she was in town somewhere. Snuffman fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Jun 7, 2015 |

I will admit my reasons for choosing Triss were I did her quests first and Yen bitching about the Amnesia, also when we were at the Ball Triss didn't get on me for running off to play Magic the Gathering so for manchild reasons she is a better fit.

Just started a 2nd run. Ever noticed what the quest with the frying pan in White Orchard was about and why you find that monocle? Well, it seems the owner has a real potty mouth and now deals in shoes and you run into him a while later.

I've done the Battle of Ker Morhan and am now doing errands for the sorceresses, but I decided to visit Emhyr to report that Ciri has been found. However, I can't talk to him. Why?

Why? You have to go there with Ciri when she asks you to come with her to Bald Mountain, it's a dialogue option. I think you also need to have visited him during the "Gather allies" quest for the option to show up at all.

The Yennefer Gwent card is miles better than the Triss card so obviously Yennefer is the correct choice.

Baron Bifford posted:If you can bottle longevity why isn't anybody selling it? Why is it only sorcerers and mutants who live long? Why not kings and rich people too? Because sorcerers and mutants are all sterile, and because witcher mutations have a 70% mortality rate, and sorcerors take ~~magic aptitude~~ and years of study before they can rebuild their bodies with magic.

So here's an annoying and infuriating part of combat: Geralt's sword swinging. Yea I get that he's this superhuman, agile sword wizard, but his stupid loving twirly sword swings are too long. I'm a feline school wearer, fast attack specialist. Why, then, when I attack with the fast attack button does Geralt do this dumb jump spin sword attack that takes as much time as a heavy attack? I'm not performing a heavy attack, I'm performing fast attacks so I can Ignii, slash slash, get back. Geralt thinks his flourish will do more damage when all it does is let this god drat Morvuud tear me in half with its horns. Just when I get a chance to sit down and try and play this game, its shittiness seems to slap me in the face and discourage me from playing it. lite_sleepr fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Jun 7, 2015 |

I bet there's a ton of people who won't mind forfeiting their fertility in exchange for longevity, especially if they already have kids. Perhaps becoming immortal is something you can only do for yourself, which would explain why nobody is selling any (real) elixirs of youth.

It's context-sensitive, if you are locked on to an enemy that's outside your reach and press attack, any attack, Geralt will try to connect with a longer animation.

I'm cleaning up some question marks on my map and I noticed that even those mini quests/treasure hunts, where you find a dead body with a note and a key to a chest a couple of yards away manage to tell short but interesting stories. If you take a couple of seconds to survey the surroundings, you'll get a good glimpse of what happened. It's pretty neat. Of course, all stories end in misery and death, but still... I also noticed that, as announced in the patch notes, loot from the question mark areas now scales close to your level. Now that I am done with the story I am actually finding worthwhile gear that would have been fun to try and run with during the game. I'll probably go and skip the three witcher gear sets entirely in my second playthrough, since I was using those pretty much all the time.

Meanwhile I will be wearing the Griffin set until the heat death of the loving universe because it's been like 30 hours of gameplay and I've still yet to find a single piece that is better. I wish the little intrinsic bonuses and defense weren't so helpful to staying alive so I could just wear whatever looks good

Having to read a series' entire back library to understand that Yennefer isn't just a mean bitch (before you do her related quests, which are set way too late in the game compared to Triss') is a bad design decision and if you're defending it you're bad too. EDIT: I love this game and this is one of maybe 3 issues I have with it. Verranicus fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Jun 7, 2015 |

Yeah, I felt the writers kinda want to have their cake and eat it too - pull on the (admittedly quite rich looking) history of the books to tell their story but not provide the means to understand and see things as clearly as the main character. I've mentioned it before but it feels really, really weird to be playing as someone with incredibly strong feelings towards certain characters but never have the game really educate me on why he feels that way. "You should read the book" is a bit of a cop out I think.

"Yennefer is a mean bitch" is pretty silly as a statement even without the books. It basically amounts to "someone expects something of Geralt beyond fawning over his dick." Some of the Triss stuff basically comes across as "she is a nice waifu who never says anything negative, ergo she is good."
