Yenn picker and I let that homie go so..... Though maybe I just did that quest after getting shafted / attacked by the last 5 quest givers. Also he noticed I was wearing Cat School armor and called me a cat/wolf hybrid which I thought was awesome.

I'm playing in English, VA is ok. Story so far is ok, but not groundbreaking. Main map feels more like Spellforce than HoM&M. Kind of feels weird for a queen and her retinue scrounging countryside for timber. Battles are still in tutorial mode. Cards look nice, and some are even animated.

Triss before Yen on that scale?

Seriously, what the gently caress is wrong with you?

Triss whole arc is trying to save as many people from pogroms as possible, despite the fact that she could escape by herself easily and the huge danger just staying in the city puts her in. Also she kinda lets herself be willingly tortured for sake of others and goes help at the climatic battle(s), even if Geralt dumps her. True, she is huge poo poo when it comes to personal romances, but she is hardly alone at that.

Yennfer meanwhile explicitly doesn't give a single gently caress about anyone not named Ciri or Geralt, which puts her behind Triss and Shani, who do care about people not named Ciri or Geralt, pretty much by default.

Welp this sucks. I had plans to purchase Thronebreaker tonight as I had some extra free time and this kind of game is right up my alley. Although I'm glad to have stumbled into this thread to learn about the recent controversy. The only influence I have on companies is with my purchasing power so I'll have to skip this one.

It's too bad that CDPR can't make the smart, profitable decision and sack the PR guy or form a sincere apology.

This is correct but in the case of people like Yennefer she is the exception to the rule. Not unlike Jennifer Connelly being the perfect woman despite not having red hair .....

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

This is me.

Also CDPR should just fire the social media chud. He's obviously letting his personal political agenda shine through their official media channels and any other company would've gotten rid of him already.

Thronebreaker is pretty fun so far. There's a mix of battles with your deck and logic puzzles based on preset cards. Also you can skip the battle if you fail.

Drop an Yrden sign and then let yourself get trapped in a web. Yrden stuns spiders, so once they bum rush you, you break free and slaughter them.

Sirens are bad for wrecking boats, but my least favourite are probably Devourers and Rotfiends because they can cause chain reactions and will one shot you if you end up in their explosion radius.

But the truest answer is the Djinn or Iris's Greatest Fear on Death March.

The Caretaker is just annoying but not difficult.

I kept loving up my positioning and failed to stop the Caretaker from doing his full heal about three times. My own fault (well, and the game's awful control scheme) but it was utterly loving frustrating and the opposite of fun. If the only method you have to make a boss challenging is to start the fight over you need to go back to the drawing board on that design.

I wish the game would be a bit more helpful when letting me know which enemies I can actually counterattack or riposte. You initiate a riposte when the enemy's healthbar flashes red, and it works great on humanoids, wolves, drowners and a couple of other monsters, but then you have other monsters whose healthbars also flash but you can't counterattack them. If the flashing bar isn't meant to indicate when to counterattack but to indicate a general enemy attack, it's kinda pointless because enemies broadcast their attacks pretty strongly.

Apparently you can riposte and cut the tongue off of a grave hag, but I have never managed to get it to work because the grave hag's tongue lash is extremely fast, has no warning, and she uses it maybe once in a fight before getting slaughtered.
