I found it pretty understandable that Yen was being bitchy to people like Ermion and doing questionable poo poo like necromancy because her adopted daughter is potentially dead or kidnapped by dimension-hopping elves out of a heavy metal album cover and she is rightly stressed out over it.

I think I hit my first quest bug, after 70+ hours. The quest Hard Times on Skellige, I'm supposed to deliver a letter I found after killing a cyclops to the blacksmith in Kaer Trolde. But I can't activate the guy, I'm pretty sure I could before, there's no button prompt over his head and hitting E while his name shows up doesn't do anything.

I can totally understand why virgin basement trolls wouldn't be comfortable with a woman who has enough power to take care of herself and who makes her own decisions.

I just had a glitch where I encountered a bandit camp but no bandit went aggro and they kept just talking while I was slowly riding between them. I thought it's maybe some special camp with a quest or something so finally I got off my horse in the middle of it, I managed to take 2 steps when they all went berserk and the usual fight broke out. It was funny in a way as it seemed like they all went "let me tell you about this guy I killed, wait is it just me or this guy riding around our camp should be killed?".

Section 31 posted:There are some Witcher armor and weapon sets which you can upgrade after you discover their schematics. Oh, I knew about the Witcher armour, I was rocking full Griffin by the end. I just wish there was more to do with the basic Kaer Morhen set, as well as some of the more significant 'reward' swords, like the one Crach gives you. For example, taking a bunch of the reward swords and the basic Kaer Morhen one, and stripping them all down for special parts to make a super sword. I like dumb super swords which I would never use. Also, I would have liked to see more done with other weapon types. I know you can use axes, and there is one polearm in the game you can use, it would have been nice if there had been some more detail on their end, for example, a few unique axes in Skellige. On Voorhis, I understand why Geralt didn't want a whole Nilgaardian regiment at Kaer Morhen, but there should have been a choice to talk Voorhis himself into coming down on his own or with a couple men. Let his men die very quickly into the siege if balance is the issue, I just want opportunities to interact with Voorhis. It would have been nice to see him interact with Ciri, to act as a autonomous envoy of sorts to convince her to go along with the plan. He could have interacted with Roche with a sort of acknowledgement of their alliance details which the player isn't clued in on yet, as foreshadowing. Same with Yennefer too, since she has stuff in the works with the Empire. Letho too, since Letho was hired by the empire. There are a lot of things that the player is not 'in' on at the point in the game, and that was a great chance for hints to be dropped that plans were afoot which Geralt was not aware of. It felt like a huge missed opportunity to drop in some intrigue, since the next act is a lot of events unfolding which you had no clue at all about before. Having a few scant clues as breadcrumbs but no real substance would have made a lot of the events that take place after feel much more exciting, since you have an idea something is going on but not what. echronorian posted:She really isn't. She's not submissive, is all. I thought she was a really interesting character, I loved her agency. I think it is a poor relationship because it is not founded on a mutual respect, but a Djinn induced infatuation on one side, and a constantly condescending tone who has no qualms with using their partner as leverage on the other. I mean, she clearly cares for Geralt, but it is always after she has been particularly cruel or petty to him that she realises that. Always too late. It is a destructive relationship. If Geralt was not magically obsessed with her, he probably would not have overlooked all the times in the past where she talked down to him, hid things from him, used him for personal gain, etc. She prioritises her own standing before her relationship (and I don't mean 'before Geralt', I mean the relationship), and it is pretty foul of her to do that. There is no equality or mutuality there. She was definitely an interesting character, and probably one of the most well written characters who has a romance option in a videogame ever. She has motivations, ambitions, and her own preferences, which sets her aside from most of the archetypal characters who hold that role usually. I don't hate her, I just don't like her as a person. The Witcher 3 does a very good job of presenting its characters as actual people, instead of as orbital objects to the main character. That drove me to look at the relationship between her and Geralt less like it was a game where nothing really matters, and more like I would a real relationship between two people. And I think it would be a poor relationship which is doomed in real life. I can understand making your own decisions, that is fine. But having a respect for the person is important, and Yen kinda doesn't.

Look, I didn't read the books, maybe I'm miscasting her character and if I read the books I would change my mind, but in game she is a huge freaking bitch.

question about the nithing so, i decided to reverse the curse on jonna because, while i try to never kill when i don't have to, killing a man's infant son because he married another woman is pretty decisively evil. but when i did it, geralt was all "fine i'll do it even though you earned this." what did he do to earn it? i must have missed part of the story because i don't get that. from what i understand, lothar and jonna grew up with one another but then lothar married someone else. were they promised to be married to each other? if that's the case, still okay with giving the death penalty to the lady who tried to murder an infant child over a petty squabble.

Yen is cool. I think both Geralt and Yen like the nature of the relationship with her being bossy and Geralt humoring her, giving her poo poo right back, or ignoring it. All the other characters keep saying Geralt is whipped and Yen takes advantage of him, but we see the two of them in private and how affectionate both are for each other when they don't have to put on fronts for other people.

"She is a great mother" "I can understrand her coldness, she has her child to think about" "She is a terrible person because of Ciri" Naw, how about she is just an awful person, and Gerald is better than that, ever think of that? Gerald isn't a bad person because of Ciri, if anything Ciri makes Geralt a better person, if you roleplay correctly. He deserves better than a terrible person, he is better then Yen.

Codependent Poster posted:Yen is cool. well, of course it is all down to player choice, but keep in mind geralt was under a spell for most of the game, which might explain why he just lets her actions bounce off of him after ending it all with the djinn quest, I didn't see much between him and her in private any more, certainly not love although, I also haven't seen if any cutscenes are different if you choose to stick with her I don't like her much because I feel like it is a doomed relationship if it were real. Yen does mention that they have broken up before at some point, so it clearly isn't all rosey.

The only thing "awful" about her that isn't 100% justified by the search for Ciri is that she is rude to people. That's it. Lambert is just as much of an rear end in a top hat as Yennefer is, and Lambert owns. And big shock, if you make Geralt show her affection, she shows some right back. Crazy, right? It's actually incredibly obvious that she cares about him.

Yen totally shows affection, you have to be totally buying in to Lambert's japes and your own personal hangup to miss it imo. I feel like I am in a very small minority of people who like feisty banter with women. Yen actually interacts with me/Geralt and there's some funny back and forth as well as some genuine moments as opposed to Triss who just is on my nuts for *reasons* (which seem to basically be 'oh geralt-san I can be your waifu'). I missed a lot of the 'get dumped into a lake' or meaner responses people are talking about because I didn't act like a dick to her (I mean she's right, she is allowed to be mad for 15 minutes regardless of amnesia alright it's human, leave her alone like she asks and she leaves you alone about it!). Basically this: Walrus Pete posted:And big shock, if you make Geralt show her affection, she shows some right back. Crazy, right? It's actually incredibly obvious that she cares about him. Like yeah if you're on a warpath to convince her that she should have no human feelings because you didn't remember anything and that's why you boned her friend then yeah she is probably a bit of a dick but otherwise there's no issues aside from a bed getting thrown out (and even then she's just like 'bro I'm allowed to toss the bed out leave it alone' and then drops it if you do). and also, Riso posted:Yen is great, gently caress the haters.
