Geralt I love you but you're not that sharp

I liked running the Dandelion quest where you're fake fighting him in his "masked avenger" outfit.

Geralt first says:

You are really ugly

Followed by:
You'll never learn.


I thought it was totally accidentally appropriate.

Also, why can't I light people on fire when boxing them. It's what the crowd wants.

The creator of "The Witcher" broke the law? CD Projekt is in trouble

Google Translate posted:

Polish game developer CD Projekt briefly enjoyed a huge number of copies sold the third part of "The Witcher". This is how a listed company praised the results may infringe the provisions. This is a matter for the Financial Supervision Commission. Penalties in such cases can go into millions of dollars. The maximum amount is as much as the company's profit for the previous year.

CD Projekt Group is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange since 2002. Linked to this is the fact many responsibilities. Above all the most important information on the activities they need to go through specifically designed for this channel - Electronic System for Information Transfer (ESPI). It provides equal access to information to all interested parties. In this case include holders of shares and potential investors.

On Tuesday, June 9, the company reported sales figures newest part of Witcher. Such a fact, however, there were no ESPI, and as it turned out, it caused an earthquake on the WSE.

The value of shares in a few hours grew by nearly 20 percent to 24.5 zł 20.32 zł. Thus, the market value of the entire company increased by 400 million zlotys.

After the reaction of stock investors can see clearly that the information given by the company was a "price-setting". What threatens to breach of the Act on trading in financial instruments? The penalty could reach up to 5 million. So much was "purely" earned the company the whole of last year.

...

Is the whole situation runs out punishment? KNF familiar with the case, but so far it has not commented. As we read in the portal Bankier.pl, CD Projekt Commission asked for clarification.

Geralt knows Cerys will try some trickery poo poo, no way he really seriously thought he just immolated a baby.
Not to mention the guards he just slaughters because they're not main characters so who gives a poo poo right?

My girlfriend and I both have our own playthroughs, so that would be a lot of saves to write down, which is a stupid thing to have to do in 2015. We've just been cut/pasting our save files when we switch off, which is a pain. Though for you I doubt that is a problem, you horse's rear end.

Here's a tip that might actually be helpful for you: When making a manual save, go to your journal and select a quest and make it the focused quest. The savegame will have that quest as the name. I would suggest doing something like having all your saves be the gwent "Collect them all" quest, and have hers be anything else, to differentiate. I agree it is dumb, but there is your workaround.

In the Tower Outta Noweher's quest, is it CDPR making fun of GoG, or making fun of DRM in general?

I have notice another bug but never mentioned it. Any time an NPC uses a spell, the spell effect lingers in one of their hands. Yennifer just lifted a curse off a guy? Her hand still glows with arcane energy as she gesticulates. Really distracting when it happens to all magic using NPCs.

You should be able to save different games....though whichever one you're on will overwrite your autosaves of course. I'm on Xbox too and all the saves kind of look the same. Haven't tried a new game yet but I can't imagine it would delete all of your manual saves.


And it's pretty much sad like 90% of the time. There are some good moments here and there. Though it's still a lovely, lovely world.

It's a Baldur's Gate reference. If you imported a save that had some pantaloons from BG1, you'd eventually be able to make a special item in Throne of Bhaal.

Well, my game is messed up:

If you get called out by Triss and Yen for your lechery, you need some things in your inventory in order for the quest to proceed: good wine. If you have those things when the quest starts, you immediately skip to the second step, Meeting Triss and Yen at the Kingfisher.

However, if you sell those items, the quest flips back to the first step, indicating you should buy them. Only, it seemingly doesn't matter if you do, as the quest is now stuck at that first step. There is no indicator on where these items should be purchased, and buying some of each type of wine doesn't let you advance.



Also Marquise Serenity is stuck fanning herself even though 1.05 was supposed to fix that, so I can't even complete qwent quests to kill time waiting for a patch.

The only thing more impressive than the quality is the scale. It's absolutely immense and so far hasn't really waned in any way, nor has it started to feel like a single player MMO I just want to be done with, which would be a feat for a game half as large.

It really isn't that slow. Most of the fight just involves you piroutte/dodging behind him when he starts attack (generally from the shield side) which means you'll easily flank him for free backstab hits. Also try to melt his frost armor with fire attacks (it gets refreshed with each teleport thought).

In the second phase just focus on dodging and wait for when he slams the mace into the ground for your chance to attavk.

i just downloaded the debugger and "killall" them

the fight is slow. maybe my weapons suck but it literally took me 15 minutes of the same actions repeated ad naseum just to get him to phase 2, and then it slowed down much more because i could only get one attack in

so i just quit the game and found a shortcut. lame fight

in case youre curious, my strong attack was only doing 50-70 points of damage. The fight was taking ages, survival wasnt the issue, or figuring out the attacks

Top 1 for me. I already loved the Witcher series since the release of the first game, even pre-enhanced patch. But this game takes every notion of what a game should be, and what it should sacrifice in terms of quality and turns it on it's head. It does everything it wants to do better than any game before it, to a large margin.

It should be compiled into a 'Geralt expressing emotion the best way 'a mutant whose emotions have been wiped out by chemical injections knows how' ' album in the OP.

Also my pony tail/beard/turtle neck combo makes me look like a 40something hipster professor from Oxenfurt.

Levity aside, I'm intrigued by the Wild Hunt, and without any exposure to the first two games, I feel I've pieced together an understanding of them. If some :spergin: Witcher book nerd could verify these bullet points I'd appreciate it.

- a long long time ago an elf race split off from the OG elf race. Left to another world.

- said new elf race's world is now facing annihilation, and the leader of the Wild Hunt seeks a new world, ala General Zod in Superman. These are basically dark elves.

- wild hunt wants Ciri because of her interdimensional teleportation power inherent in her Elder Blood could supply the energy needed to ctrl X ctrl V an entire planets population to another world.

Geralt has mentioned twice now that he rode with the hunt, but when, why and how? He's not of the race or world the wild hunt hails from, and he has nothing to gain from ravaging worlds. Why would the hunt allow Geralt in their band anyway?

The Hunt abducted Yennefer as bait for Ciri. Geralt tracked them down and ended up offering them to take him instead. Eredin was amused enough to agree and actually kept his word. He had Yen mindwiped and ditched her into a corner of Nilfgaard. Later on, Ciri ends up saving Geralt and his comatose, equally amnesiac rear end lands near Kaer Morhen. That's how the first Witcher game starts.

That assumes Geralt is going to calmly think about the whole thing right after shoving the baby into the oven out of the blue.
And I always assumed he only wounded or KO'd the guards. That or Geralt just plain doesn't feel bad about killing people that attack him.
