I like Griffin School from the start. Fat Dad Geralt is canon.

Armor that is form fitting is weird anyway. The problem with Griffin school is that the swords aren't griffin-y enough.

If the second Griffin School mastercrafted bonus was an Igni Boost instead of a Yrden boost it'd be the greatest armor ever. Being able to doublespam signs is pretty great.

I like the Yrden boost because combined with the rune that makes alt Yrden spawn normal Yrden on hit makes for an hilarious build. Not particularly efficient when you can burn and or freez everything to death, but lots of fun nonetheless

Grouchio posted:The tree spirit in her prime did much worse: Maybe, who wrote that book? edit: by which I mean, how do you know it's not Crone propaganda? They rule those lands. Personally I agree the tree spirit harms more people but it's intentionally ambiguous and mysterious. There isn't a "good" outcome.

Releasing the spirit doesn't actually do much to the crones, so there's just one extra evil thing around now if you go down that route.

The tree spirit doesn't go on a murderous rampage if you sequence break and free it before the crones send you to kill it.

Avalerion posted:That was incredibly lazy, I assume they just didn't know themselves or couldn't come up with a satisfying resolution and that's what this is what we get. I think it was a thematic choice. What it takes to defeat the frost may be mystical, metaphysical, or otherwise not entirely comprehensible in an unreduced manner to somebody with lesser talents than Ciri, and consequently inadequately possible to represent visually - it's effectively a messianic, religious act, and those even in IRL tend to be only approachable through metaphor. When Christ absolves humans of sin, you also don't know how it works metaphysically, you only witness an outward metaphor in the form of crucifixion - objectively no change occurred in the world other than the death of a man, yet it in an unseen way it changed the nature of universe in ways that surpass physical reality. Omitting the scene just reinforces the fact that Ciri basically exists on a different plane than others and her actions transcend humanity. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 12:00 on Jun 27, 2017 |

metallicaeg posted:I get your point, but games are a visual medium. So, I like to see what happens. Going from the climatic run into the unknown, then fading away to a 6 months later scene, it just kinda left me like "oh, okay, so it's all good now I guess?" If they showed her defeating it then they lose the "did she or didn't she?" wonder about her death until Geralt meets up with her in the tavern. On an unrelated note, Roach was ambling about without me in a small village and bumped into a woman who then exclaimed "Are you drunk?!"

I'm going to spoiler this even though it could be minor. Its about something funny at the beginning of HoS. I was wandering around Oxenfurt and a taxman hollered at me to halt and asked me a bunch of questions about moneymaking exploits that are in the game. I found it hilarious. I have never seen anyone post about it here. Should I post screenshots?Class Warcraft posted:This would explain a lot about Roach's behavior, actually.

The ending was obviously the way it was because CDProjekt have no idea how Ciri is supposed to defeat this malevolent entity they have turned the White Frost into, duh.AAAAA!

Not sure I ever understood the criticism about the ending, leaving it ambiguous was perfect. And since these stories are sort of told thru Dandelion's perspective it makes sense that he'd be like "poof, Magic poo poo happened, I guess, the end!"

Don't really get the idea that the White Frost is ever a malevolent entity either. Seems to be the exact same entropy problem it's always been.

I was wondering about Ghost Mode. The developers say that it's intended to be run in tandem with Preparations, and Preparations mostly looks...annoying and boring? Is it actually really cool in practice, or should I just try Ghost without it?

It's mostly because in the books it was an inevitable ice age, instead of a dimension-hopping frost phenomenon that can be stopped by The Chosen One.

Is it actually really cool in practice, or should I just try Ghost without it? I'm currently playing just Ghost Mode with no preparations and I don't think adding preparations would really help. I agree with you, it simply sounds annoying and boring, and Ghost works fine without it. I don't find it particularly more meaningful that I need to buy extra saltpeter instead of buying extra alcohol. Ghost mode is very much a 'vanilla with different numbers and slight adjustments' type mod, so if you don't think you would like preparations in your normal game, don't bother.
