CJacobs posted:Holy poo poo no way dude you don't say However: CJacobs posted:edit: It probably does happen in the books though. The books have many things happen in them that would be pertinent to know in the games but just don't ever come up for reasons unknown. "Originally Geralt wanted to be called Geralt Roger Eryk du Haute-Bellegarde, but his mentor witcher Vesemir advised against it. He told him to write down names of regions that sounded good and choose one at random. This is how he became Geralt of Rivia. Geralt stated that he chose to be called like that to gain trust among people. For the same reason he learned to speak with a Rivian accent. He also stated that another reson for doing so was to have a place to identify with."

For that reason, I love that The Last Wish opens with some dudes in Vizima telling him that they don't like Rivians round there.

So, I just went on a drinking binge with my Witcher buddies, ending up with prank calling some Mage in his chambers, while we are crossdressing in Yennefer's dresses.This game and that scene is just loving fantastic..

That's the local equivalent of Pope Benedict XVI on the privy, everything else checks out correctly. Lambert's plenty hilarious by himself, but if those two just didn't chicken out when I know better than to piss off Yen...

I have only just gotten to the part where Yen uses the mask and everything about her has made her seem arrogant and generally a pain in Geralt's rear end.

That whole quest chain will sour you quite a bit on Yen most likely, and for good reason. She's kind of a dick. Her personal quest chain afterward shines a better light on her.

Yen made the right choices and I would happily destroy a priceless artifact if it meant the life of one of my children.

HELP! I've completed Now or Never and had Oliver killed before being able to play him for his card. Neither have I looked to buy cards of of him (don't know if he had any). My OCD brain is telling me to rewind a few hours into my saves but I tried looking for information on this on the interwebs and apparently some safeguard is built in? Where could I find this card and are the cards he sells transfered to another merchant too?

Scandalous posted:gently caress your fancy dress mask and your fuckin herb garden that's my babby This is literally Yen's whole rationalisation, and it makes her actions not necessarily right, but way more understandable. It's not that she doesn't care/respect the things she's messing with (though she may not care/respect them MUCH), it's that she can't let that enter into the discussion when doing things the non-morally-objectionable way may mean her little girl is captured, murdered or worse.

"If you gently caress with this crazy ancient special artifact with unique properties, bad poo poo is gonna happen, mark my words" is a phrase that's been said multiple times in the Witcher universe. And sometimes it's even correct to assume so!

Yeah, it was mentioned that there were other ways that could possibly help but they'd be slower. If any circumstance allows for bending/smashing the rules a bit in favor of expediency, seeking your child to help protect them from the band of interdimensional invaders who would effectively end the world if they find her first is probably in that list. Well, maybe not expressly so because that would be a pretty prescient list-writer, but still. Edit: VV Actually, the impression and (rather clipped) admission on her part is that she doesn't really know, but she has a good feeling this will work without backfiring horribly. Probably. These things hardly ever sink/render uninhabitable entire landmasses after all. OAquinas fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jun 24, 2015 |

She isn't a dick to Geralt if you don't side with the druid every time. CJacobs posted:Try seeing it from the perspective of the guy that is trying to keep her from potentially causing a cataclysmic event that will end the entire world in that particular situation. Sure he ends up being wrong but it's the principle of the matter. But maybe she knows for a fact he is wrong and only basing that off of some myth that has no bearing on anything? She knew about the one time use thing already. Seems like she's done her research

Is there any way to make it so that the game uses the Dwarven Spirit instead of Alcohest? I need that poo poo game, stop using it to refill my swallow and bombs

I need that poo poo game, stop using it to refill my swallow and bombs What is Alcohest used for other than refilling potions? I've seen Dwarven Spirit used as an alchemy ingredient sometimes but I don't think I've ever seen Alchohest used for anything else.

It's used for some of the Enhanced potions that I had never gotten around to making. Dwarven Spirit is used for the base, and White Gull is used for the Superior ones.

I actually did run out of alcohest and started using my limited supply (150) of dwarven spirit while resting.

Yeah, I just finished Gremist and had to start churning out White Gull in massive quantities (I can just imagine Geralt working his Witcher still nonstop) and had to basically park in front of the innkeeper at Kaer Trolde to get enough redanian herbal, cherry cordial, and mandrake cordial....3-5 bought per merchant menu activation. It took a while

Maybe the autists were right in complaining about the Mass Effect 3 endings, compared to that your choices really do matter. This was a hell of a game. My Apologies to the north and all thousands being burned alive, I just never thought that Geralt should be a king slayer
