Saladman posted:I've been playing TW3 with my girlfriend, who works at a shelter for abused women, and she was solidly in the "gently caress this loving fucker" category every time she saw the baron spin some sob story. But that whole dynamic is what makes the story so much more interesting to me than, say, Mass Effect, where I couldn't really relate to any of it at all (though I enjoyed it).

If Skellige's most Wanted doesn't play out like an episode of Bay Boys starring nothing but trolls I'll be extremely disappointed.

Palpek posted:I think those quest lines were good because they didn't pull any punches. They had character and some twisted stories that were simply interesting to uncover which is why they stood out next to all the cookie cutter quests and 'oh boy you're a chosen one' main story. This is again why Witcher 3 is so good as it's full of stories like those, it surprises me with actually original plot that I want to see unfold and characters that are actually fun to watch react/talk. Something that doesn't exist in Bethesda games. Not mentioning honest to god good humor with snappy punchlines.

You know what I think? The inventory for armor and swords should work like dark souls. Whichever one you have equipped should have weight, but the others should just be there in like a separate inventory that isn't weighted.

Sylphosaurus posted:I have to say that the (Bloody Baron spoiler)"penance walk" and Naming that the Bloody Baron has to do if you choose to uncurse the Botchling is a pretty drat moving part of the game. Hell, it even managed to make me feel sad for an alcoholic, wife beating murderer, which you'd think would be impossible. Yeah. That was some moving poo poo, really. I really do think he feels remorse, and while his daughter (understandably) doesn't forgive him, I'd like to think the wife gets cured and they work it out. It's the Witcher though, so chances are she turned into a hellspawn and he's now tormented for all eternity by a Noonwraith. The writing is phenomenal in this game. Oh, and I hosed up that penance walk the first time by going to far ahead of him. That reaction was pretty  too.

My girlfriend, who generally doesn't care about non-Nintendo vidya, asked me specifically to let her know whenever I encountered trolls. Chargyman and ugooly are now words that I hear frequently, though not as frequently as turdy dump. These trolls have enriched my life, and I'm excited for the new quest already - didn't Comte say he was working on that, or am I misremembering things?

Do (some) decoctions come with an automatic low-level regeneration that's not part of its description? Because I just tried my first one and it turned my health bar green which I'd normally associate with being poisoned not with regenerating.

If you notice, Geralt also has purple bulging veins when that happens. I always chalked it up to the game trying to advertise you were near (or at) full toxicity because those decoctions start at like 80/100.

Rated PG-34 posted:I'm actually having fun with the Gwent mini-game. Is there anywhere I can buy cards to flesh out my non-Northern Realms decks? Taverns (beer mug icon) are the only reliable places that sell cards. Some merchants (sack icon) sell them, but the ones that do are rare and usually have to be rescued first. Just about every vendor/armorer/blacksmith can be played for a single card each though, and most give monster/squirrel cards. Is the Nilfgaard deck the most powerful? I seem to have a lot more success with it, but maybe that's because I only started to use it after getting most of the good cards...

Hell, it even managed to make me feel sad for an alcoholic, wife beating murderer, which you'd think would be impossible. The voice acting and dialogue you get from him in general, especially when you go down that path, is quite frankly some of the best I've ever seen in videogames. Hell, it's better than many actual movies. I'd say it's quite natural to feel sad for him given how much of a guilt-ridden wreck of a man he's become. It doesn't absolve him from what he's done, but it really does drive home that he's still human (if a deeply flawed one) and does ultimately still care about his family even after it all went to hell like this.

It's more specific than that. Most/all inkeeps (taverns) will sell cards. Only a select few generic merchants also have some cards for offer, in the central Velen villages of Midcopse, Lindenvale, Crow's Perch, and Claywich (the last needs rescued). There are no random merchants in Novigrad or Skellige that sell cards, though you'll want to play them for your random-won card. The only non-innkeep merchants that sell cards are those few in Velen.
