The Witcher Wild Hunt: Waifu Wars 2015. Oxxidation posted:From what I understand Triss found her relationship with Geralt frustrating as hell anyway, since she was the woman Geralt ran to whenever his arguments with Yen ran the risk of turning him inside-out. Quite the opposite with Triss. In the books Triss swoops in after Yen and Geralt break up (again) and seduces him with magic to sleep with him. After that she's all about Geralt for really weird/creepy reasons and wants to start a relationship with him. Geralt spends the first half of Blood of Elves turning her down and it's a major point of contention between Triss and Yennefer. CDPR has taken some liberties with Triss. She's turned into a much stronger person at this point in the games, but for most people that read the books picking Triss over Yen is crazy talk. Edit: Might be misremembering the relationship bit and mixed up Witcher 1 Triss. Here's the relevant section from Blood of Elves: quote:…she had seduced the witcher – with the help of a little magic. She had hit on a propitious moment, a moment when he and Yennefer had scratched at each other’s eyes yet again and had abruptly parted. Geralt had needed warmth, and had wanted to forget.

Triss is naturally beautiful, it's in the books. She doesn't need to rely on magick.

Snak posted:I'm on ps4 and feel like my load times are between 1-3 minutes depending why it's loading. Fast-travel loading is much quicker than reloading a save after I've died. Just for the record I THINK I fixed the loading issue. I did the following: Uninstalled the game Turned off the internet connection Put the disc back in and installed with no auto patch Ran the game once Closed application, connected to the Internet, updated Shut off PS4 completely (not rest mode) for around 5 minutes to clear cache Loading is incredibly fast now and I haven't had any short loading screens during dialogue or anything.

Nitrousoxide posted:Regarding Triss and the witch hunters in Novigrad: i didn't stop it. It's far more satisfying than the other way which I accidentally did before I reloaded. Menge all of a sudden notices the room went silent and he says "let's check up on her". When you get in there Triss has slaughtered everyone and stabs Menge in the throat. It owns.

So, everytime I load my most recent save I just instantly die and it keeps happening all the time. Is there some god mode cheat or something? I don't feel like replaying everything up to that save point.

So apparently patch 1.07 is ready for release on PC but they aren't releasing it yet because they want all versions to get patched at once and the console patches have to go through cert. God loving damnit.

IMO he's one of the best characters in the game, and also a total bro with some really funny and entertaining dialogue. I also liked the part where him and Geralt profess their feelings for each other.  Too bad I still had to kill him in the end...

What are some of the different ways you can resolve the Tower of Rats questline? I didn't believe the girl at first, so she changed into a Pesta. I then brought Graham in for the kiss and lifted the curse, but he died in the process. I imagine nobody comes out of that one looking too pretty?

Sooooo I have the option of doing "Now or Never" atm, even though I've (a) not met up with Yen at the catalysm but (b) have gotten Cerys to be all powerful Scotish spitfire queen and (c) just slaughtered a bunch of witch hunters that didn't believe me when I said I had found nothing in Phillipa's lair. I feel like I may be doing things in a completely jumbled mess? Anyway, do I permanently gently caress up getting Yen in the end if I do something wrong in this Now or Never quest? I keep reading conflicting poo poo. I want Yen for my video game digital romance for Geralt.

Son of a bitch. I must've missed that part... or maybe not far enough. Meta-Mollusk posted:Actually this moment can also happen if you just get him the key without knowing the location. Damnit, I gave him the key and was like "durrr I don't know". Missed it. exquisite tea posted:What are some of the different ways you can resolve the Tower of Rats questline?

I imagine nobody comes out of that one looking too pretty? That's the "correct" way in my mind because the Pesta slips up in a few ways. She - says she can't leave the tower, but she somehow watches the guys house from the shore - says she didn't kill that one guy, even though no one has been there and it's a fresh body IIRC, I fought her in the courtyard for some reason at one point? Maybe that was just other generic specters. Anyway, that dude was ballsy as gently caress going to kiss that wraith. gently caress. At least she temporarily turned into normal as it happened.

JetsGuy posted:That's the "correct" way in my mind because the Pesta slips up in a few ways. She Funny thing is that neither of those would have been likely to raise any flags if she'd just admitted to them. Her being limited to the island is not any more suspicious than being limited to the tower, and a spirit being capable of violence against an intruder shouldn't come as a huge shock either. Her inability to keep her story consistent with the facts is literally the only reason to suspect that following her request may be a bad idea. The fact themselves don't speak to any particular outcome.

At least now they can be happy.. Not really years. The Noble dude relocated to the tower when the war hit, and it's only been going for about 6 months or so (it started at the end of W2). Velen was probably always a shithole, but it's only been a war-torn shithole for less than half a year. She's probably only been dead for 2-3 months or so.

Yeah but on the other hand when the average person sticks the disc in and if it doesn't work they blame the console so I can see Sony and Microsoft's position.

I mean, they're still fixing this game for free and releasing all sorts of DLC, again, for free, along with two expansion packs that sound like they're gonna be as big as the previous game in the series. So, like, at this point I kinda feel like if they want to wait a couple days to release a patch, that's okay. Especially if the cert process catches something that might also affect the PC version, so they can release a fixed patch instead of having to scramble around to get parity between different versions of the game.
