I don’t remember this at all. I just remember saying he’s not her type but sort of “when in Rome” as a response.

Please help me with choosing an overhaul mod. Don't wanna play vanilla, as I know a number of improvements have been attempted by lots of modders. Have you used any of the changed combat ones - Anu suggestions, favourites?

I like Ghost Mode because it's highly customizable but it doesn't change the base gameplay radically. Bunch of tweaks but still feels very similar.

Tom Tucker posted:I've been using a pure combat build for a while and thought I'd shake things up. I'm level 23 and taking my time with the main quest so I've turned on enemy upscaling on the second-to-hardest difficulty. I'm thinking of trying out a signs / combat or alchemy / combat build, any recommendations? Every build you make should have a /alchemy in it. There's no reason ever not to have synergy. As for signs, just go with Igni to set them on fire and then Igni flamethrower while they're already on fire.

No Levels removes the obnoxious level requirements for items and makes all equipment have fixed stats (so a Velen longsword does the same damage at every level, as an example) like in Fallout games. It makes non Witcher equipment a lot more viable so you actually have a reason to use unique swords and armours.

Searched back a couple pages and couldn't find anything, but: Is there a specific known solution for the extremely generic "Uploading Save Failed" going from Switch to Steam? Checked the DLCs and I've got everything, and a bunch of people were reporting "yeah sometimes it works on another network for some reason", was hoping someone ITT knows something more specific before I start wiresharking connections trying to debug this poo poo for CDPR

I scared myself when I downloaded The Witcher 3 to play again for a bit on my fresh OS install and had no save files. Turns I downloaded the GOTY edition that was given to all owners and not the normal one that I had got at launch.

I got to Kaer Morhen thinking it was the last part of the game so I went back and started Hearts of Iron so I could get that sweet Master Level witcher armor. So far it's such a refreshing change from "Yessir mas't'uh Witcha, you fuckin freak. I was born in the mud and ah'll die in me mud. The world is pain and ugly torment"

More like "this massive video game were making is taking longer than we thought so we're delaying it to get it right but also that extra time is all crunch at an Eastern European pay scale." The company does get a lot of goodwill for transparency and accountability with their customers but they still have unhealthy workplace habits. That picture of the CDPR developer's mental progression from Witcher 1 to Witcher 3 might be a joke but it's not far off.

Funnily enough, I'm still reading through the old "Witcher 2-Yennefer Barely Knew Her" thread and have just gotten to the part where Witcher 3 was delayed for the last time. Folks are posting Internet Baby posts from the official forums where people were having literal meltdowns. One person swore off gaming forever with a "how could they do this to us?" kinda attitude. It's a pretty great read. But yea, we kept our poo poo together in this thread. Universally this thread was laughing at everyone that thought CDPR sucked for taking more time on the game and/or believing it was heresy that the game didn't look like the promo trailers originally released.

What's the consensus on the Combat Rebalanced overhauls for both Witcher 2 and 3? I generally like the one for Witcher 1, but don't have issues with W2 or 3 combat. But if they're good I might give 'em a go one day. I saw the Witcher 2 one is up to patch 1.2, and I remember reading that it wasn't great, but that was pre patch. Any thoughts? Edit: Also a Witcher 1 question: I've beaten the game many times, but don't remember if the prologue explained why Triss happened to be in Kaer Morhen at the time. Did the other witchers summon her to help Geralt? Also, the whole "Triss took advantage of amnesiac Geralt thing", while true, I think is at the very least initiated by Geralt during the prologue. She only comes onto him when he tells her he has feelings when he looks at her. I think Geralt felt sub-consciously drawn to her because she was a sorceress, and Triss just went with it because why not, and Yennefer was dead/suspected of being dead anyway, so what's the harm? chaosapiant fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Feb 25, 2020 |

hobbesmaster posted:Right, but what if it wasn't a memory he had but a lingering effect of the spell she'd cast. Or a new one... I don't know. He felt love for her in the prologue when she was unconscious. And years had passed between her triss-t with him in Kaer Morhen and his revival in Witcher 1 prologue. It's certainly possible, but since the it's not in the game or text explicitly, I'm not counting it. I think the general consensus is that Geralt felt he must've had feelings for a sorceress at one time or another, without knowing who, and here's this woman in his home, among his friends, who seems very familiar with him. So while Geralt is sub-consciously connecting the dots, Triss is taking full advantage of it. My main point being that, I think, the whole Triss taking advantage of amnesiac Geralt is more a happy accident that she ran with rather than a meticulous plan she had when she saw him. It's skeevy either way though.

People tell him he was in love with a sorceress, Triss is there, everyone seems normal with it, and he just puts pieces together (wrongly). Triss, meanwhile, lets it happen when she knows full well that he's an amnesiac and she's taking advantage.

Not to mention that his witcher bros seems to genuinely like/care for Triss, and barely tolerate Yennefer. So if he wakes up and Yen is suspected dead and/or missing, she's toxic, and here's Triss who the other witchers like, plus his friends in general, yea, everyone including Geralt would definitely be in the Team Triss camp. Come to think of it...it's a lot like the plot to the movie Overboard (the original). Edit: New Witcher question: how many of you have bought multiple copies of the games on multiple platforms because they're awesome and you want CDPR to have all the money?

I can't remember exactly where (maybe it was even in this thread), but I recall reading somewhere that the intention was for Shani to have an accent that's literally all over the place, in reference to the idea that she's incredibly well-traveled. Apparently there's a lot of business out there for someone wanting to hear injured soldiers.
