Sydin posted:Agreed that the Avallach and Tir Na Lia stuff is bad, particularly being introduced to and turning Ge'els to your side in the span of 5 minutes of gameplay. All of Act III is pretty clearly rushed for release but that stuck out the most. I also wish there had been a bit more variety in the section where you're traveling between worlds. Not the highest priority by any means but the cliche "desert world/water world/poison world" stuff felt weak, particularly after Geralt can ask Ciri about other worlds and she rattles off some pretty cool stuff she's seen. I really wish CDPR would have done an enhanced edition style reformat to Witcher 3 the way they did for 1 and 2, particularly with how well they expanded on Act 3 in Assassins of Kings. Roche's path in 2 has one of my favourite Geralt-isms in the franchise: "Everything's better with a dash of bird guano!" Granted the base game is certainly good enough and the DLC is incredible so an enhanced edition isn't as needed.

The Troll cave on Faroe, is that an inactive Portal archway inside it, or just a bit of set dressing?

I'm reading Lady of the Lake. It's a shame how much Witcher 3 wastes chances to mess around with Fringilla Vigo, she a d Geralt are fun in this book. In the game she's just a reskinned model of Ves with the same voice actress.

All of Act III is pretty clearly rushed for release but that stuck out the most. I I've always had the opposite impression actually. It always seemed to me like Act III wasn't actually intended to be in the game at all. Like the whole story leads up to the battle at Kaer Morhen. Pretty much the whole cast completes their character arc there, The main quest makes you go to every place beforehand, and it has the mandatory "All the past characters team up to fight the big baddie" part. I feel like they were told the game wasn't long enough or something so they excised some bits and made them act III.

https://thegww.com/exclusive-witcher-audition-tapes-for-the-roles-of-geralt-and-yennefer/ Some of the audition tapes for the TV series. Also, apparently Geralt is going to be based more on his sarcastic video game incarnation than on his mopey goony book version.

I wish that there was an open world game that could hold a candle to this game. Dragon Age: Inquisition came close-ish, but there's nothing that scratches the itch as well and I've played through W3 like 5 times already.

It's Guerrilla Games first open world game and it's excellent. Some of the talent behind New Vegas and Witcher 3 helped with development.

I don't share your opinion, but I don't begrudge you it either. I liked it. I didn't like plenty of parts of it, but it was good enough for a hundred hours of my life for my tastes.

I’m playing through Horizon Zero Dawn right now and it’s definitely a good game. It, along with the Uncharted games, were the reason we bought a PS4 and it was a good decision, so if you’re thinking of getting one I’d say go for it. The main character of HZD, Aloy, is fantastic. She has attitude like Ciri and takes poo poo from no one. The world has a rich backstory and the reveals along the way of the main storyline have really engaged me. Plus you fight robodinosaurs with spear and bows and arrows. What’s not to love?

hey, a buddy of mine just got the ciri dies ending and would like to see the other one. He drank with her and skipped the emperor meeting. Does he have to go all the way back to the sorceresses decision? I am having trouble figuring out if it needs to be +1 or 0 in terms of the positive vs negative results of the decisions because im not sure if skipping the meeting with emhyr counts as a strike.

If you skip a chance to be a good dad it doesn't count against you but it also means you need to be careful during the other times you're a good dad because they weigh more. First time I went through the game I skipped taking her to see Emhyr, drank with her and went to the Lodge meeting with her. I also trashed the lab and went to Skjall's grave so I was 50/50 but I still got the Witcher ending.

Yeah he wants to replay it but i don't want to tell him to redo it unless I'm certain he will get the good ending. So you for sure got ciri witcher with just skjall, trashing the lab, and skipping Emyhr?

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Wait, is drinking with her after Vesemir dies the good dad decision? I thought getting in a snowball fight was the correct choice there? Drinking is bad. the issue is if skipping the emperor is a -1 or 0. You need to be +1 at the end if you have all 5 choices, but I was not sure if skipping the meeting means the games rounds up in the calculation and a 0 differential gets witcher ciri.

Like I said, skipping Emhyr doesn't count against you, it just drops your number of good dad chances from 5 to 4 and you need to do at least 2 good dad moments to make up for it.

Skipping Emhyr is neutral, bad is accepting Emhyr's cash prize for delivering Ciri.

It doesn’t quite hit the “every sidequest is amazing” notes that W3 does, but that’s about the only bad thing I have to say about it. The main quest line is great, and revealing the world building stuff is fantastically done. This is the only game I’ve ever played where I’ve ever been excited to find audio logs.

While not every side-quest is a winner,there are a few pretty good ones. And this game is one of the few that actually has good collectables. I remember the storyline around the Vantage Points nearly reducing me to tears.
