Going from playing this on Switch to PC with RT Ultra is a huge step up. Enemies like Ghouls look so different. Drowners. I never realized that Drowners have dongs. They flap in the wind. Winds howling.

I've spent too long looking at video game monster genitals, the coroner who works with Geralt during the Carnal Sins quest would say I have a fixation.

I mean, Witcher 3 has already like 6k mods on Nexus alone, so it's almost a certainty that all of those already exist.

Also I started this back up again on the cusp of Novigrad, and unless you're sociopathic I don't think Geralt slays a single monster in that city. The godling, the succubus, the doppler...all reasonably innocent and deserving of mercy. In point of fact I'm starting to think the greatest monster in the city of Novigrad...is man himself??

Depending on your definition of vampire Geralt slays several "monsters" in Novigrad. Including one that just wanted to sleep until 1358

yeah, its cool how its narratively consistent that in a major city, the only actual monsters there are scavengers and then the ones that can hide their appearance or are nonviolent and sneaky. The succubus is the one taking the biggest risks.

I am still relatively early in my second playthrough and this time I'm killing all the monsters I spared the first go around. I slayed the Allgod. It actually is probably more fitting that he'd just be a dick and kill everything when he's the one looting every starving household in Velen for the last dumpling. One thing that surprised me is that, in that quest where you fight the Nietzescheans who are defacing idols, you actually beat them to death. They die in a pool of blood. Last time I thought I accidentally killed them because I pulled out my sword by accident and just kept swinging. Mulaney Power Move fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Nov 26, 2023 |

Yup even if you go fists only, Geralt has had enough of edgy college students and decides to send a loving message.

Can't wait for that Skellige monster court quest. "Yeah, I killed a bunch of succubi and dopplers. I will kill you and take your stupid shoes." Also love how all the bad guy dialogue options are some variation of "Get hosed"

I preordered the official Witcher cookbook like a year ago and it surprise just showed up. Several years ago I was posting a bunch of dishes I made in this thread based off recipes found in Witcher 3, and while I’m slightly down none of the recipes in the cookbook seem to be based specifically off recipes from the books or games, there’s a bunch of very good looking recipes in there. Be warned, like 3/4 of the entree recipes have pork, which I don’t eat.

There, uh… is several baked apple recipes. The Velen section is mostly game meat and wild fruit.

Velen has rabbits and deer just running around on the roads all over. What's the deal with all these peasants starving? I guess they're scared of monsters or bandits or whatever. And what's the deal with Frischlow? I never noticed on Switch but it's full of like a dozen piles of corpses. Does all of Velen just go there to dump bodies or something?

Mulaney Power Move posted:Velen has rabbits and deer just running around on the roads all over. What's the deal with all these peasants starving? I guess they're scared of monsters or bandits or whatever. The wildlife is lightly overshown but the context is the major battle between Nilfgaard and Redania just happened, and presumably both armies raided local villages for their food stores, along with young men that would also be the local hunters. The locals have both immediate food insecurity that hunting might assuage slightly, but the bigger concern is the Baron's men are collecting what is left for their own use. They would also likely just steal and freshly killed deer, and then on top of it deserters and bandits are rampant due to the battle. Frischollow is a casualty of the war and was raided and the survivors left. They are presumably among the refugees trying to get into Redania.

Isn't it also like around fall at the time when the game takes place? So it's not just about being able to eat on the day, they're looking at their food stocks (or lack thereof since the armies took most of it) and they're doing the numbers to see that they probably don't have enough to survive the long cold when no food is available but what they've stored, and even an onion is a luxury. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Nu3iTFNbc Aside from that, I think the density of monsters would make it nearly impossible to go too far into the forest since even one drowner can kill a level zero dirt farmer and the things are everywhere, but that's probably more the conceit of the game rather than a feature of the setting. Velenners go out into the woods plenty.

Also they might not be able to legally hunt those animals, so they might also be scared of being caught and hanged for poaching.

Arc Hammer posted:Has the DX12 version of Witcher 3 enhanced been improved or is it still a finicky beast? So, this is what I've been playing on the new laptop, and it's hit or miss. It's not a HUGE problem, but it is finicky. It does crash sometimes. If it does it's usually during the first loading screen. It has only crashed in the middle of the game for me twice after 50 hours of play. And then, maybe two or three times it's done this thing where I suddenly lose controller input and the keyboard commands don't work, so I have to hit the power button to get out. That could be a controller thing, because I'm using an X-Box controller that's known to have connection issues, but I haven't had any issues with other games. One weird thing I've noticed is arrows getting stuck mid-air sometimes and last night I noticed a bow just hovering in the air randomly outside of the Rosemary and Thyme. I also noticed a cup just floating in the air at the Seven Cats Inn and then after the Gwent game with the innkeeper she just grabbed it from where it was hovering. Really, the most annoying thing is that all of the sudden the music just stopped playing. It happened as soon as I loaded my first save in Skellige. When I played again the next day there was still no music in Skellige. When I fast traveled to Novigrad, the Novigrad music started up again and then stopped after wandering around a bit. Apparently, this is a longstanding glitch. Playing off of GOG.
