Firestream used to be broken good because it would apply the burn effect really rapidly and do tons of damage but it got nerfed, it's not that amazing now.

Firestream is good with the mutation that adds 50% sword damage to signs, since that procs with every firestream tick. Pretty bad before you get to Touissant though, or if you want to use another mutation.

Apparently there are different endings so I am going to restart from the isle of mists (it tells you to make a manual save there thank god) as gently caress that is a huge bummer of an ending I thought that was a bit of a downer ending after 100+ hours and 3 games so glad there are different ones WhiskeyWhiskers posted:lol, bad dad. What awful things did you do to give Ciri low-self-esteem? Went with her to lodge meeting (mainly cos I was curious), didn't let her trash the lab as I thought it could have useful stuff in it, said 'relax, you don't have to be good at everything' as I thought it was a poo poo dad joke and would calm her down.

The endings are based on how you interact with Ciri, I'm not sure you can change them at the point of no return, but that's a good place to gently caress off and do the expansions.

You don’t even get to Ciri until the Isle of Mists, so I think OP is ok to restart there. Unless I’m misremembering something?

Aren't there flashbacks and stuff you make these decisions in? I'll admit it's been like 6 or so years since I've played, so my memory of where you actually hit the decisions points might be completely wrong.

No it's all afte the kaer morhen battle, and on a replay all the content after that can be flown through if you don't care about difficulty or cutscenes.

Yeah. There's 5 decisions and you need to get 3 of them right to get a good ending: 1. Have a snowball fight in Kaer Morhen instead of Drinking session after the battle of Kaer Morhen 2. Don't take money from the emperor, if you visit him with Ciri. (or you can just skip visiting the Emperor) 3. Let Ciri handle the Lodge Sorceresses alone. 4. Let the Ciri vent out and trash the Avallach place. 5. Visit the Grave of the Craven with Ciri directly afterwards.

The smashing the lab scene is so good, too. Like the snowball fight but angrier I understand the rationale behind the don’t take the emperor’s money decision but i never liked it. I’m supposed to be teaching her how to be a Witcher and then I turn down one of the biggest paychecks of my life after I already did the work just because the client’s a piece of poo poo? I feel like your average Witcher does worse for less probably

Whether you visit the Emperor or not affects which good ending you can get, but issue of money muddles it a bit. Officially you were hired to find Ciri by the Emperor. You were going to try to find her anyway, but taking money from emperor in front of Ciri muddles how she perceives your motivations. Small nagging doubts like, "Did Geralt find me just for money?", can demolish her self-esteem a bit. Not too much if that was your only poor choice concerning her, but combined with others...

The abbreviations for some of the Good Dad choices are as obtuse as Push Dijkstra. Also, if you don't visit Emhyr it doesn't count against your Good Dad points but you instead only need two Good Dad points instead of three.

I wish you could still take out that last crone regardless of the ending. How you gonna just leave her to her own devices and not expect you and your loved ones to suffer some sort of bog curse? Seems like a huge mistake.

Geralt isn't really a very good Witcher when it comes to the whole "staying out of it and just getting paid to kill monsters" anyway. He's always involved in poo poo, so really no big deal about breaking the witcher code about the bosses money they are really more of guidelines then a code you know

Based on the info we have, it sure seems like any of the "rules" about witchers are folk tales or deliberate PR by witchers. They are pretty much always tied up in something since superhuman soldiers/assassins are far too tempting to resist for those in power and Witchers are generally not rolling in cash.

Note: Geralt does it to his good leg. Also I think the updated prompt says "forcefully" not "hard", not that it makes much difference.

Ok I restarted from my manual save at the isle of mists and was able to go through and make geralt not kill himself. You can really power through it in a couple hours if you skip all the cutscenes you've already seen. Just started the HoS stuff and super enjoying it already bringing back that dude from the start in white orchard was a great idea, the interaction with him then was weird enough that I remember being all 'that's super odd' and it wasn't a massive surprise that he showed up again. Also, it's Shani from game 1! Alctel fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Mar 8, 2023 |
