Mike the TV posted:I like Geralt's justification if you choose to spare him. It's also funny because not only do you find more trophy heads of his (that Geralt supposes that he also could not sell) in the cat hideaway, but you can also get a trophy for Roach in HoS that originally came from him as well. Poor guy never gets paid. It’s pitchfork related PTSD.

On the subject of trophies, is it always safe to sell them as soon as you get them (assuming you don’t care about the bonus I mean), or are there some that you have to hang onto for quest purposes? I’m starting my second play through, and I have this nagging feeling that I’m forgetting something special about trophies.

the bonuses are pretty useless unless you gussy them up with a mod but i just stash them all since you only ever get one of each and i can't bring myself to sell anything unique like that

The only one I didn't sell is the giant head from B&W. The bonuses are generally worthless past, I guess, very early game.

It feels lore-appropriate to ride back into town with a gross monster head and then sell it for a fraction of what it’s worth

PS If you want to sell trophies, do so at the alchemist outside of Novigrad. He pays pretty decently. edit: nevermind, this was apparently patched! Mike the TV fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Feb 3, 2020 |

I wonder why arachas and endregas co-habitate with one another since arachas seem to be solitary ambush predators while endregas are like ant colonies. It was even more confusing in Witcher 2 because the endrega queen contract looked exactly like the arachas model.

I love that I've been playing this game off and on for like 4 years and still have missed awesome poo poo. I think Witcher 3 de-throned Morrowind's long reign for best RPG for me, I never thought anything could knock Morrowind out of that top spot.

Comte de Saint-Germain posted:Someone, while arguing tree vs crones, said that the tree kills all the people in the village, which undoubtedly kills children as well. But the children in the village are well cared for, while the orphans living with the crones are certainly doomed to die even if they don't go with the crones anyway, since they are only sent to the crones because their family doesn't want or can't feed them. The kids that the baron’s wife is watching end up in Novigrad if you release the tree spirit.

I killed the spirit and the orphanage was just stocked with a bunch of identical kids so it seems like it hardly matters. It's ok to sacrifice a few children once in awhile, the peasants will just keep making more.

The supply was obviously greater than the demand. The Crones just exercise market corrections as needed.

Joey Freshwater posted:The baby in the oven thing though, I never understood The worst part about the quest is that it wants to show Cerys is competent and capable of figuring out the problem, but you're playing a professional monster Hunter and curse remover the game loves to show is competent and capable. The whole quest could have been fixed by removing the asinine choice between tricking and killing the beast. They should have had Cerys know the beast from Skellige legends, realise she can't tell Geralt the solution and just ask him to trust her. Then burst in later and hand you the Jarl's baby to throw in an oven, while she holds the Jarl's men at bay. That would be a surprising and difficult choice! Or at least have her fake betraying you. 'I knew you'd never be able to feel real remorse because you were aware we were tricking it, so I had you kill a baby and take on the curse, A jarl's life is more important than a witcher's.' Then reveal the baby's alive. WhiskeyWhiskers fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Feb 4, 2020 |

I think because there are so few missteps in such a long game that we tend to hyper focus on the few that there are. The Hym quest could have been a littler tighter in its writing and plotting, something like WhiskeyWhiskers idea above. The core idea is excellent, it just needed a little more work. The other misstep is how Dijkstra behaves after the assasination, a stuipd mistake by a character we know doesn’t make stupid mistakes. The pig quest is fantastic and was free DLC so make sure you have downloaded all those to access it.

So I'm playing through The Witcher 1 again, and even though this is like my 17th time through the game, I noticed some dialogue I hadn't seen before. I was doing that quest where you escort Gramps through the swamp to the Shrine of Melitele, and if you stray off course and take him to other swamp areas, he has bits of dialogue for each area, like a tour guide. He told me about Berengar and the dumbass brick makers when I took him to the clay-pits, for example. I loving love this game!

itry posted:17 times through that old Bioware engine / gameplay. Impressive. Been playing it since it came out, even before the enhanced edition, and there's still a handful of options I've never done: Never let Zoltan get his rear end kicked by the thugs in the Outskirts Never let Thaler get killed by DeWett and his merry band of racists Never done any quest resolution in Act V/Murky Waters that wasn't the whole "please everybody" thing. On my current playthrough I aim to let Thaler die (with the end goal of letting Djikstra kill Roche and Thaler in Witcher 3 for that particular ending) and also maybe siding with the humans to get rid of the Vodyanoi instead of reconciling them both.
