Are broken achievements fixable? I'm using the GOG GOTY and after 73 hours of this game (holy poo poo) I've still only got Butcher of Blaviken, but looking at the list there's multiple ones I should have.

Coughing Hobo posted:I knew that Yen and Geralt were perfect for each other after their werewolf pun run. This is absolutely terrible. And that's coming from someone that likes SA pun chains. Make Geralt single. No wife, no strife. Hang at your vineyard chugging wine with your BFF Dandelion and BF(ha!). Toss those empty bottles over by your succubus and doppler decoctions and curl up to sleep under your troll head trophies.

The Witcher 4 will just be Geralt and Letho passing a bottle of Vodka back & forth.

Avalerion posted:No idea about Yen but book Geralt also sleeps with some priestess and the leader of a bandit crew. yeah but thats all during times when they were not together. i think renfi was before yen and geralt met. when they were together they never slept with anyone else. there's a whole bit in either blood of elves or times of contempt where they have a long talk in front of a lake while ciri is listening in where they get back together before the assumed betrayal happens. i dunno what the polish versions are saying but i read all the uk books last year and they were pretty clear to me about their relationship.

I'm impressed with the environmental storytelling with the footstep trails during the mission to kill the frost giant. The giant's footsteps and the human ones diverging and reconverging as the humans tried to lose him on narrowing paths was great.

Why didn't he at least agree to royalties? Did he have to give up anything in exchange, or was it pure "video games are for losers get out of my house" old man nonsense?

When it's a royalty or cash deal and the cash is pretty decent, you usually go for cash because it's the safer option. Be honest, not knowing how history went, would you have assumed The Witcher series would have sold as much as it has and been as good? Of course, Sapkowski is kind of insufferable.

His stated reason was something along the lines of not believing anything would come of it, since I think they approached him for the rights pretty early on in the companies history, which was ages ago (early 90s?). He's since stated that he at least knows he's a massive idiot now.

I was under the impression the book series was quite big in Eastern Europe already. Obviously no one could have predicted the giant success of W3 even as late as at the release of W2, but still.

This is probably the closest you'll find about it: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-03-24-meeting-andrzej-sapkowski-the-writer-who-created-the-witcherSapkowski posted:"I was stupid enough to sell them rights to the whole bunch," he says. "They offered me a percentage of their profits. I said, 'No, there will be no profit at all - give me all my money right now! The whole amount.' It was stupid.

Just completed the assault on the castle in B&W and holy poo poo, if those vampires attacking is what Ciri's attacks looked like from outside, I pity any witnesses of her fights. Also, I love dialog choices like this, this is like prime short story Geralt (mild spoiler for B&W I guess):

Yeah it just occurred to me that he might have had to choose between a pile of cash or royalties, and if that were the case I suppose I couldn't blame him. Still.....lol. He's like that guy who sold his early apple stock for $1,000 or whatever

Yeah, and that's especially the case with a first time developer like CDPR. Before Witcher 1, they hadn't released a game of their own, they were localizing western titles.

Finished Witcher 3, obviously went straight on to replaying 1 like a cool dude. Does anyone remember how viable sword builds are on hard, i.e. can I just glide through the game once I get a few levels like I can with an Igni build? It seems kinda poo poo that you have to split your points between steel and silver as well as strong/fast/group attacks.

I liked The Witcher 1, but I played it right after building my first PC so I was deprived of 3D games. Not sure I would have beaten it had I not been sort of ignorant of better games.

Vikar Jerome posted:you'd have to start again and the dude is about to release a long awaited patch and the description is really out of date (the world is no longer scaled for instance, everything is lvl 90 or so, so monsters and items are now based on stats and skills, plus this lets you do any quest in any order and still have a tough dark souls time) and i'd still recommend first play mod free, but: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1814/ I was planning on just new game plussing so I could use mutations for the full game as a way to freshen up things, but I think this would be the way to go. I hope it's not super buggy. e: Do you guys think a controller would still work well when using this mod? As I was reading through it it seems as if there may be extra buttons to use but I'm not sure. Drunk Driver Dad fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Jun 11, 2017 |

Hey what's a good strategy to kill shielded dudes apart from parrying them? That works of course, but takes a looong time. I've tried stuff like aard or igni them, but they seem to block that poo poo every time.

If you're far enough to have mutations yet and are using Europhoria (or a sign build), you can use Igni when they have an opening (when you dodge to their side or parry them) and they won't be able to do poo poo about being on fire.
