TenaciousD posted:None. Well, I was hoping for something along the lines of a mod for the map. I hardly ever use mods but I was finding navigation very frustrating. I know Flotsam like the back of my hand now (which I will never do with most of the cities in TW3) but prior to that I spent many unproductive hours getting lost.

Super awkward when Triss, Yenn, a bunch of hookers, Shani, some Nilfgaardian spy, and who knows who else are popping out kids at more or less the same time. I didn't bang Shani in Witcher 3, that'd be hosed up to Yenn. But it really, really pushes you that way.

There's also the random lady in Skellige you can best in combat, mysterious Gwent lady, and the Duchess's sister. That last one is going to be the real problem if kids are involved.

Ciri is Geralt and Yen's adopted daughter, and is estranged from her mean, biological Emperor dad, was my impression from pretty early on.

2house2fly posted:The beginning of the game is a little hard to pass if you don't know the Lore, because Ciri is designed to look like Geralt with the white hair and scar, but she's not actually his daughter, but she is kind of his foster daughter I guess, maybe because he wanted to keep her safe from the emperor...? Actually, Ciri got her scar before Geralt. Geralt's Scar happened during his journey to find the Wild Hunt between the books and the games.

2house2fly posted:so I assume she doesn't mind and is probably getting strange of her own offscreen. When you talk to Letho at the end of Witcher 2, he tells about how Yennefer was constantly a huge pain in the rear end for them after Geralt left her in their care, including trying to seduce Auckes just to make life difficult for them

Didn't Geralt's hair go white from some extra mutations he went through? Would that even be genetic?

God drat its annoying to have to craft witcher sets from the start to create the grand master stuff, which is even harder because I'm missing one part of most of the sets. I wonder if there's a mod that removes that requirement.

I think the current science on stuff like that is a "maybe , depending on how and what it modifies" and given that it's a universe where if you're enough of a dick to your girlfriend she'll die from heartbreak then turn into a ghost that kills dozens of people, science probably shouldn't enter the conversation at all.

Palpek posted:In B&W there's still a bug (as far as I can tell) that makes prostitutes stay in the room after sex, still naked so when you hire another one the previous one is present in the background during cutscenes following Geralt around with her eyes. I managed to have 4 whores in the room this way - 1 in bed and 3 standing right next to it, staring and silently judging Geralt's every move. I smell a new mod.

Goddamn Witcher 3 is pretty as gently caress with all the settings turned up to the maximum. I thought it looked good on my 970 on my first couple of playthroughs with a mix of mid-to-upper range settings but it's incredible on Ultra everything.

I was playing the Gwent standalone, and the troll at the shop dropped this great solo: "Po-po-po-pokie rock, pokie rock." Between this, and pam pam param, someone at CDPR is a massive Lady Gaga fan.

The way it always came across to me was everyone is loving everyone and it only becomes a problem if you claim you love a bunch of folks. I totally assumed Triss and Yennifer were getting hooked up on the side too.

One of the funnier parts in the books is Yenn taking Geralt to the fancy sorceress party where he originally meets most of these women. They all flirt with him pretty hard and Yenn gets madder and madder while Geralt just complains about the buffet.

I was trying to explain this game to my housemates, and my one roomie said the most unrealistic part of the game is how few Witchers there are. Like, obviously in Medieval times, a dude who cannot possibly get you pregnant or sick with his ding-dong and is pretty much always in peak physical condition (and never gets tired...) is definitely going to be one prime pick for any ladies out there, and plenty of duds too... and that's before you add in force powers and potions and all the other cool poo poo. Like, I'd just set up shop at Kaer Moren like the punks from Fight Club until Lambert or whoever lets me in. What's the in game reason for Witcher's going out of style? I feel like 1/2 really pushed the idea that Witcher's were dwindling into obscurity, but I've met 3-4 playing W3 and i'm not getting any sense of witchers being weird or outdated from this game. Also, I just beat Witcher 2 right before buying and playing W3 and I couldn't imagine playing through that game again. I did Roche's missions (neck tattoo for life) and thought Act 2 of W2 was the most boring slog of a game I'd ever forced myself through. I was playing on Death March, and the part where you have to fight like 4 soldiers and a boss monster while playing as a regular rear end skeleton with no witcher powers was abysmal. And then I find out that the Iorveth quests are just that dinky little village in the mountains and that horrible twisty cave system with a totally useless and at times very misleading map... Yeah I have the perfect Witcher Game, its the Witcher 3, theres nothing left for me in those other games lol.

Bust Rodd posted:What's the in game reason for Witcher's going out of style? I never read any of the books, but it's implied that the Wolf School witchers all deliberately lost the formulas for creating witchers so that they would have an excuse not to put any more kids through the witcher-creating process, because the Trial of Grasses was super super traumatic and they all have a lot of physical and emotion scars from it. Add on to that the fact that 99% of the populace either doesn't know witchers have those advantages or believes witchers are actually monsters themselves, and add on to that the fact that 99% of the populace doesn't know witchers have a secret mountain castle they live at, and add on to that the fact that 99% of the populace doesn't know witchers are made from normal people, yeah I can see why they don't have people lining up to try to join.

Also, there's generally been less of a need for them after civilization grew to the point were it could raise armies large enough that throwing a couple of dozen poor loving infantry at monster became a feasible solution.

yeah, the reason why witchers are a dying breed is because people are starting to get organized enough where a professional monster slayer isn't needed anymore in the eyes of most people.

Yeah I have the perfect Witcher Game, its the Witcher 3, theres nothing left for me in those other games lol. I actually really dug Roche's Act 2 (Iorveth's had a good story too but the city and especially those caves underneath were a pain in the rear end to navigate), I liked being in and around the army camp and dealing with all the bullshit that goes on while an army is waiting for the battle to begin. I think part of what I really dug about the game is that even though you only get one side of the story it still feels "complete". Doing the game again with the different choice fills you in on the bigger picture and adds a lot of context, but the first time I finished the game I didn't feel like I had missed out on anything. Shifting to different characters without any of Geralt's abilities was a pain for sure, especially on the highest difficulties, but so long as you've got ability points in parry/riposte you can still trivialize most fights. Edit: Also having started up Witcher 3 again I cracked up when I read the note in White Orchard about Odrin showing up and being a loving disaster
