I hope for some expansion in a new zone where you get to meet Saskia, Iorweth and maybe Jan Natalis.

Isn't there a wanted poster for Iorveth? the only explicit details from TW2 that I can think of that get discussed are when Roche and Letho meet in Kaer Morhen if you get both to help you

While I'm reminescenting about Witcher 2 I must say that I liked Rebelka's cutscene animations more than the ones in Witcher 3. They're still good on their own but I just dig the previous illustrator's crazy style. Here's a page with his different works if anybody's interested.

You barely get to hang out with Ves and Roche, most you get is 2-3 short quests and then a bit at the end of act 2. I've posted it before, but I'd love to play as a new recruit in Blue Stripes or whatever's left of Temerian army between W2 and W3. It would put stuff in perspective, where you simply cannot defeat this one loving wraith, and have to contact the professional so you can visit some dungeon.

I think it's hilarious that one guy legitimately thought that Skyrim and Oblivion's quests were more intellectually and emotionally engaging than the Witcher 3's and he posted as much just as he started the Bloody Baron questline.

He's entitled to his opinion, maybe there's something in W3 story and quest design that simply doesn't mesh with his expectations.. For me W3 has changed the way I look at quests in RPGs, I regularily replay Skyrim with some new set of mods, and when I look at quests and their outcome now your choices lack meaning. You pick a side in civil war, and a Jarl or three changes. You shank a couple of important characters, perform human sacrifice once or twice, do really terrible stuff (if you want that daedra achievment) in addition to the usual helping stuff, but in the end nothing bites you in the rear end. An Archmage, Whisperer, Nightingale, Companion, Thane of all of holds, Vampire and Dragonborn enter the tavern, s/he approaches the tender, asks for rumors and leaves.

Hi, I'm the Dragonborn, but you can call me the chosen one if you prefer, I'm the Arch Mage in the Mages Guild, Leader of the Thieves Guild and I'm also the leader of an organisation that takes on contract killings. Sure, that's illegal, but it's not like there's gonna be any ramifications from any people who know that, and sure enough, they do know that even if I don't tell them because of how the game works. They also seem to know I'm super good at lockpicking too.

TES is a power fantasy that's all about freedom of choice and letting you do whatever you want. It's not really a fair comparison to this game, which has a defined role for a preestablished character. That being said, while The Witcher is objectively and undeniably better written than any TES game, that doesn't mean it is to everyone's taste. Liking the quests in Skyrim or what have you more than what is in The Witcher 3 is totally fair.

Some glitches in this game compete with the bug insanity in Assassin's Creed games. Roach getting stuck on things, Geralt's out of body swimming experience, levitating items sometimes even replacing NPCs and flying around, random people getting trapped in cutscenes etc. It's hilarious.

I must be lucky in that regard, because the only glitch I've seen was a little girl standing in the deep water in one of Skellige island harbours. Like fully submerged with a couple of meters of water above her head. Her hair were moving with waves. I've thought that it's a part of some quest and it's a ghost, but found nothing nearby.

I have no problem with people having preferences in gameplay design but that's just being purposefully obtuse or something. Or trolling, in which case well done I guess.

Palpek posted:In a game that emphasises consequences of your actions with even minor quests getting little follow-ups it is really strange that Iorveth isn't even mentioned once. Neither is Saskia. It's like the choice of that path in Witcher 2 has been completely ignored considering that you do get to see Roche, Letho, Eilhart and even Sile. Or as somebody said it'll get a mention in one of the expansions or something as Elven terrorists and a shapeshifting dragon are interesting enough to be used somewhere. I saw Saskia mentioned once. I imported a Iorvath path save where I saved Triss instead of freeing Saskia. When I got the chance to talk to Philippa before getting on the boat to Skellige I could ask her about Saskia. She said she lost her control over Saskia as soon as the war broke out and she has no idea what she's up to now.

Palpek posted:I understand that but I don't even expect to meet them just maybe hear about them or talk to somebody who knows anything. Hell, I would accept a casualty report from the region that lists both as dead, whatever. Considering Geralt's investment into the plot of Iorveth+Saskia's act 2 you'd expect he would want to know what happened to them after Nilfgaard steamrolled over the country. It's just strange that it's as if that choice isn't canon in a game that makes it a point to let you import a save state from the previous title. I'm expecting that to be one of the expansions, and that is why I'm not touching a new game right now. Which is a shame, because I really, really want to.

The comment was more "I don't like the story because none of it makes sense, why do I even want to save this girl" which I, personally, cannot stand. You aren't playing a medieval face dancer (Telltale needs to make a Dune series, tia), you are playing Geralt. I can accept however that if you go into this game wearing blinkers what you see could be viewed as very sparse and boring, but if you go into video games wearing blinkers you probably also think that CoD is better than Metro (which is a holistically wrong opinion  ).

Random question - is this game more dependent on GPU or CPU? I've been playing on a computer below minimum specs (i5-2500 and a GTX-560), but I've only got enough budget to upgrade one component. I'm guessing a GPU upgrade would be my best bet?

I'm running i7-920 which is a bit slower but generally in the same bracket as your CPU, and game runs with almost all stuff on high-ultra (save hairworks) on radeon 7970. Get a ssd if you don't have one.

I had a bug on the console version where Geralt would jump every time I moved the joystick in any direction. It persisted after reloading my previous save too until getting on my horse somehow fixed the issue. I felt like I'd taken a kangaroo potion by accident or something.

 I found this guy way west in Skellige sitting on a tiny island, I helped him out and now he wants a book from me. I found one that he HATED but the vendors I've checked since then have been unfruitful. Any suggestions?

Did a fun quest at Skellige, killed a wraith, forced an rear end in a top hat lightkeeper off an island. Then the cool bro who gave me the quest and I got into a fist fight at the bar. They murdered cool bro and I kiled them in self defense. Of course I get thrown in jail because no one testified on my behalf. I'm so glad I had mind trick because I was too annoyed to figure out the "real" way out of that prison Actually, I was more annoyed when I googled and found out that I did nothing wrong and that the murder of cool bro is unavoidable.

Either that or it didn't trigger when I came back.

Went to the bar, got the reward, drank with the guy, fought with the two yokels (even though I was going for a "let's all have a drink" route instead of "you givin' me poo poo? try me" and got my rear end thrown into jail. Still kicking myself too for going back when the game said OK YOU CAN GO BACK NAO and not searching the lighthouse interior, so I couldn't call the BS on the guy for being in league with pirates. It still lead to the innkeeper going all mute and me not getting the Thaler card, but they fixed it in the last patch, I think.
