hemophilia posted:The swamp is rough, but I otherwise like TW1 act 2? Honestly the biggest bore was act one, and if you survive that you will be absolutely fine. The worst thing about the swamp is it's a huge increase in difficulty over everything you've done to that point, but it's over soon enough. I just love baiting the wyverns and opening up a space so I can run in and grab that sweet sword on the island early.

Nordick posted:So I only just now came across this trailer listed in the OP, and would like to point out that holy poo poo that narration is some superb voicework. Usually when voice actors try to go for that level of intensity it just sounds forced and lame, but that guy is really drat convincing, he sounds powerful as gently caress. The trailers for W3 have been goddamned beautiful and turbofuel for the hype train. I'm on board

Yeah, it really hurts some games where your character is a massive dick/pain in the rear end to some Person of Power but they don't summarily execute you because...no reason given. "I've killed people for less, but...I'm really not feeling it today. So keep mouthing off, I guess." Looking forward to mooning His Excellency Emperor Emhyr, the White Flame Charles Dancing on the Barrows of his Enemies and seeing how creatively he has Geralt killed. Probably would just lock him in a room with Yenn and Triss. OAquinas fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Feb 19, 2015 |

Magic basically makes your egg/sperm production areas wither and become nonfunctional for ~reasons~ though obviously the non-babymaking bits still work just fine. So a mage generally is unable to have kids after a few years of working magic. As for diseases, barring some freak allergy to magic (*cough*Triss*cough*) they can cure themselves of just about anything they pick up magically. So they're probably safe partners in that regard. Now, is the parrying of crossbow bolts with shields done actively or is it them just smartly hiding behind the shield? Because if its some reflex blocking that really takes the piss out of the Witchers' feared ability to parry bolts...

Pretty much. The sword tree can stand on its own, but you'll have an uphill fight...really no tree is meant to stand by itself. Pumping up your base stats and using select skills from the other trees for crowd control is the strength of the Alchemy tree--when combined with the right potions. Properly mastered, you won't be able to 1-hit the dragon but it won't be too far off. It's definitely the most delayed payoff of the trees though, so it's hard to get going.

Only cheevo I haven't gotten. Offends my faux-OCD that it's one away from a perfect game. Plus it forces me to switch up my playstyle from "insane pyromaniac berzerker" to a more cautious Bomberman type. Just did the "Scent of Incense" sidequest and after getting locked up, I blew down the door with Aard and tossed out a Dragon's Dream, Dancing Star, a Red Mist, and then Grapeshot until all 5-6 guys were dead. Kinda fun to sit back and watch everyone, on fire, fighting each other, while getting shredded by grapeshot.

Skuzal posted:I was speaking about Dark Mode weapons, outside of Dark Mode though before enhanced though I found that no other weapons could compete with the crafted ones. I could honestly be wrong though since it has been awhile since I have played through the Witcher 2. I can totally get where they're coming from, inasmuch as The Witcher 2 was fairly scripted in what you'd encounter. So you could have a "best" sword for Ch 2's wraiths/harpies/endrega and then come Ch 3 throw it into a ditch to equip Deithwin without a second thought. While with an open world, Geralt could encounter anything at any time. So equipment would have to be more versatile and less locked-progression or people would just find a way to snag the purple shoulders ASAP and cheese the game. Ideally, it'll be less "this is the best sword" and more "this the best sword for this encounter/area." He needs multiple swords; Geralt often loses them.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:That must've been pre-EE. What? When the game was first released, all parts of the prologue were unlocked and selectable. So you start the game, get hauled into interrogation, see the "What about the Dragon" option and go "ooh, dragon!" and then marvel at the graphics as you get engulfed in fire and try to figure out how to move and where to go and die horribly because you don't know how to cast quen or know what the hell is going on.   After a wee bit of feedback CDPR locked the dragon option so you have to do most of the prologue first before you see it.

The end of Wild Hunt comes, and the King confronts Geralt. Based on what Sign you use the most during that fight, it results in a chromatically/graphically distinct ending where it's revealed that all the choices you've made over the last few games--saving Adda, preserving Saskia, rescuing Anais, finding Odrin--all meant nothing. Then the frozen times come, and everyone dies. The screen fades to black, and a message pops up:quote:Geralt has become a legend by ending the threat of the Wild Hunt. Now you can continue to build that legend through further gameplay and downloadable content!

Hannibal Smith posted:That made me really glad I did Roche's Path first. I can't think of any similar game-changing revelation you would have gotten playing Iorveth's first and then Roche's. Roche's path explores the blood curse more, since it's aimed at Henselt. Beyond that and following the Blue Stripes, it's very much the Low Information path. Iorveth's path gets you all the juicy details of Vergen and Phillipa's shenanigans.

That being said, the low-level sword skills are ridiculously worth it. Reducing backstab damage, better rolls, and riposte (can wait until Ch 2 for that) are all worth points even for a mage build. I'd definitely give the alchemy tree a look as well. Buffed Petri's Philtre is massive boost to your damage output. OAquinas fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Apr 26, 2015 |

pik_d posted:Well remember how they handled it from TW -> TW2? You had your super cool sword in the first game which was really quite poo poo in the 2nd game then you threw it out the first chance you got. I don't really see the point in wanting that. Eh, Moon Blade was pretty servicable for most of Ch 1. Mahakham Rune Sigil was pretty meh though, and then you had Raven's armor. Probably no surprise why the dude died, in retrospect.
