Mickey McKey posted:Question about this, spoilers just to be safe. Yeah Geralt is interesting in a game sense because he's an established character in a universe where he's well known but he has amnesia and the player is left to figure out wtf. Someone basically went "Wouldn't it be cool to make a Witcher game?" and they went with the main character and continued a book series instead of making up a new character in the same universe.

Lycus posted:This part's wrong. Yennefer was struck down in the riot too. Ciri heals Geralt and Yennefer and teleports them to Avalach. They didn't go there to recover, it's a timeless dimension where they could spent eternity together. It's basically an afterlife.

Will modded saves be able to carry over to the Witcher 3? I'll go for another playthrough from my Witcher 1 save with this mod to get nice and primed for the third game.

Roche is a great dude, and there's a lot of satisfaction in the last chapter with him. I do like the theme of Iorveths path better though, and the ending is a lot more positive.

The Sharmat posted:It activates when you expend your adrenaline bar. Saskia is doing just fine before Phillipa takes her over with the spell. She was poisoned by the nobility to curb her influence because they wanted to suck up to the King and earn pardons. Phillipa basically took the opportunity to get a pet dragon and everything after that went to poo poo.

Lycus posted:They definitely have Geralt not knowing about it at the start of Witcher 2. If you ask Triss about it in Chapter 3, she's surprised and asks "How do you know about the Lodge?" So it is a discontinuity. It's not to big deal to me either, though. Honestly I think the assassin from the first game was related to the fact that it was all about people stealing the Witchers secrets. And they changed course and went for the Letho storyline as a sort of adaption to that. There's still plenty of material for the Salamanders though since the other Witchers are off in other directions and we still haven't heard from them.

Nelson Mandingo posted:What hooked me on Witcher 1 was the actual investigation section and the fact the bad guy of the game might be 100% completely justified in everything he did. If the white frost is coming and his actions saved the human race, they could be excused no matter how evil the deed. But we'll never know now. The question is whether there's anything left that was worth saving after he's done.

The Sharmat posted:I'd be fine with him being gay if he also wasn't suddenly really fussy when everything else about him suggested he was an awkward nerd that gave no shits about his appearance. That was a bit weird. It's just too much of a convergence of stereotypes suddenly, and it kinda took me out of the narrative that otherwise handled its characters really well. I didn't even really notice it. At this point gay culture is so ingrained in modern media that I just kinda went "oh I guess he's gay... gently caress YES ROCHE IS THE COOLEST!"

I'm reinstalling this because I started a Dark playthrough I never finished. I haven't done any of the new act 3 stuff (but I finished the game like 3 times before the rework), is there any cool quests I should definitely check out in the new act?

I finally finished my Dark playthrough, the new act 3 stuff was interesting but not earth shattering. I had to cheat in some extra orens to finish the Kinslayer set though, because there was simply no way I could scrape all that money together. I am a little sad though, because I played this with Roche and it's just so goddamn bleak. I had forgotten how horrific the pogrom against the mages and sorcerers is when you don't save Triss and the north is utterly hosed despite having strong kings. I would have preferred to have Saskia around but honestly I don't see her city surviving the initial onslaught of the Empire after the beating they took from Henselt. I'm super excited to bring this save over to the Witcher 3, but I doubt it will have too much effect on the game since it's set in the Empire. Plus there were plenty of retcons from the first game.

The Sharmat posted:Yeah, they were really good at making the choices sting. Should be some real doozies in the next game. It's really a great choice. Because on one hand some of the mages really do want a proper conclave with controls so they can practice their magic in relative safety for the good of the north, and they all end up dying because of the lodge which is a relatively tiny group within the whole. On the other hand you have Broche and you feel you need to save the little girl. I honestly feel that saving Triss is probably the better choice overall because it's the more callous one with real benefits. I don't think saving Anais will actually have a great impact on the political situation of the north. poo poo I might just go back and save Triss. But Broche

alex314 posted:I see no downsides: you get title with flaws to fix, and a person that gets it at official release has mature patched and balanced product. That is exactly the legacy the devs are trying to escape now. Twice they've released a buggy and unfinished product that had to be fixed up later. It's a testament to them that they have done the extra work but let's not pretend it should ever be an acceptable business model.

Hakkesshu posted:It just seemed like a weird solution to a problem that has a much simpler, more logical one: Just give the player a spell to teleport to the outside entrance. Not that I object to it in concept, but having it in every dungeon made no sense. It's one of the reasons I'm very excited for Pillars of Eternity's dungeon design. The mega dungeon especially is designed around multiple forays where you clear a part of it, leave and come back later after you've resupplied and sold loot. It gives dungeons a more natural and expansive feel that I really missed in Skyrim outside of that one massive underground cave.

Brumaldo posted:Does this invasion of Nilfgaard feature in the books in any way, or are we going in uncharted territory? A big part of Nilfgards invasion plan was to neutralize the mages so they must at least think there's a good chance of being beaten back by powerful magic users. I could totally see some Salamander-esque efforts by the mages to create abominations to fight them and failing that, the entire north turns into the middle east and is just impossible to occupy.

The gameplay video was really cool, the three dames were a great wtf moment and it's c thaoolt in the Witcher even when you think you're doing the right thing you're gonna get a gut punch. I like my dark fantasy...

GrossMurpel posted:There has to be some site where you can download saves with different choices, similar to Mass Effect 2, right? I think so yeah, I'm pretty sure I used one for the Witcher 2. Hopefully there's something close enough to what I did and at least the Witcher series didn't have that many critical choices.

Xander77 posted:I never felt as though the problem with W1 was the fighting gameplay - that's fairly competent for what it is. The dialogs were the really janky part for me. Blank-eyed mannequins reciting an alien robots idea of noir-speak right past each other. I think they redid a lot of the voice acting in the Enhanced Edition. But hey at least Geralt's voice actor learned a lot between the two games.

Suspicious posted:A big problem in Witcher 2 was that buff timers would still keep going during conversations, so if you went through every option and let the voice actors speak all their lines, by the the time the fighting started your buffs would be gone. The trick is to always be high on at least four different substances.
