IM A STUPID MORON WITH AN UGLY FACE AND A BIG BUTT AND MY BUTT SMELLS AND I LIKE TO KISS MY OWN BUTT

Could someone find me a video of just one scene? In crook bag bog.


I saved Anna and gave her to the baron to heal her. I know she turns into a hag if I did the bad option. As far as I understand it'd take me at least an hour to redo the whole thing to get that bad option, and also I don't have a close save file. So I want to know what happens when she turns into a hag, so a video of just that part where they go to the children's village and discover she's a hag, then whatever they do with said hag


I looked at YouTube but the ones I've found have spoilers, some even in the title, or only show the option other than the one I'm asking for. I don't want to ruin the game for myself because is not finished yet.

For reference In gameplay I am at

Triss being a lying piece of poo poo is no joke. I mean the whole pretending that she was the Sorceress that Geralt was in love with during TW1 and 2 was repulsive, but I'm reading the books and right out of the gate in the first book it turns out she cast a spell on Geralt so she could bang him during one of his fights with Yen. If I'd known that the first time round I would have gone with Shani goddamnit.

Triss/Yen Romance: I banged Yen on the unicorn, then broke up with her during the quest, then I hopped back to to Novigrad to do Triss' quest and hook up with her. Am I screwed?

This is a linguistics related question, but what's with all the pronoun dropping in the English version of the game? English is not generally considered a pro-drop language.

Some examples?

It's also supposed to reflect a more fantasy/medieval dialect, especially with the peasant misery simulator bits--these are uneducated serfs, essentially.

It's mostly geralt, and I chalk it up to how ~gritty~ he is. It's obviously intentional.

The way Geralt talks actually kind of annoys me. He's the only character in the entire game that doesn't speak in ye olde fantasy setting English and once I noticed it I couldn't stop noticing it. He speaks like he's straight out of a modern detective novel even when he's not doing detective-ing.

Rivia must be a terrifying place if everybody there talks like Max Payne. Men, women, and children, all saying half a sentence and mumbling to themselves while narrating their own inner thoughts out loud. Just people walking around noticing things they find suspicious without even trying.

"Hmm... interesting..."

"Honey... noticed you standing out here on the lawn." (both the husband and wife talk in geralt's voice)

"Afternoon, dear. Was just doing the laundry, noticed a suspicious stain on your doublet."

"Interesting."

"Care to explain?"

I think that's mostly Geralt? Who speaks in a pretty generic American dialect.

It's pretty common in informal speech, texting, even emails. Geralt does it a ton and it's meant to emphasize he's a terse, sarcastic, gruff wiseass.

Mostly you'd drop the first person pronoun in brief informal speech.

Hmm. Saw his tracks leading under the bridge. Mmm. Bloody ribbon on the shore. Mhm. Probably attacked by drowners, drug away. Ugh. Should search on the far side of the shore.

It doesn't strike me as unusual as a native speaker of American English, really that's more or less how my mental train of thought goes. If I were to speak like that in real life I'd come across as a weirdo but it's exaggerated to emphasize Geralt's personality and also to give us his inner monologue. A lot of the time on hunts where you're just getting his verbal updates on tracking a monster, you get sentence fragments. To me that feels like perfectly natural internal dialogue, stream of consciousness.

Is there a way I can limit FPS? I get 40-60fps but I think there would be less stutters if it was consistently on 40.

I'm running a GTX970 (Gigabyte) and am looking in the NVidia options but not sure where to find it or if I need to get a different software.

I have a 970 too and I use this to cap the framerate @ 45. It does indeed eliminate stuttering for me.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, the guy has to light the fire before you can damage the wraith. Which I'm pretty sure they have a lengthy conversation about beforehand. If he has lit the fire, it's an add boss, so at pre-determined health intervals it'll teleport away and spawn a circle of regular wraiths around you, then when they're dead it'll attack again.

Oh. No, he goes off and does it on his own, you don't have to follow him once the boss spawns. It shouldn't take THAT long though, so I don't know what's wrong. I don't think you have to magic trap it in order to damage it though, unless I'm remembering incorrectly.

I think this is intentional and I've always viewed the game as a low fantasy noir story.

Ok yeah I loaded a different save and it worked after about a minute. He wasn't turning vulnerable for some reason.

You should be able to get solid 60 with that. Here's how:

Everything on Ultra except shadows at high or medium depending on your OC and foliage distance at high.
Hairworks off
V-sync off

Nvidia control panel: Prefer maximum performance in power settings, threaded optimization on, single-display performance mode, v-sync on, pre-rendered frames=1

Then use RivaTuner to limit the frame rate at 60.
