It helps that their music really owns. Speaking of, I played the entire game after Hearts of Stone was already released. That meant that at one point, I stumbled upon some children in a circle singing a creepy song. I sat and listened to the entire thing and wandered on to continue my quest to find my daughter. Later on, when I encountered Gaunter O'dimm for the second time (the first being in White Orchard), I heard that same melody used in his background music while also occasionally bringing in the Ladies of the Wood melody. I knew from there that this was going to be... interesting.

Comte de Saint-Germain posted:The whistler is quest designer Philipp Weber, sadly uncredited for his whistling. This is a travesty. He should be the first name in the Hearts of Stone credits.

twistedmentat posted:So I didn't expect a Heist, and I didn't expect poo poo to get all Silent Hill. The heist was the weak point in the expansion, but the third wish was really incredibly good. Also, "A trader?" "In spices." gets a chuckle out of me every time.

He's apparently much worse in the books, but sometimes it feels like the game is going for its own version of characterisation from what I've heard.

I didn't even deliberately keep Ciri away from the emperor. She came to wanting to go hunt down a jerk and I was like "Yeah let's hunt down a jerk!" and that's how I ended up with Ciri as a Witcher. There was no deliberately keeping her away from the emperor involved.

Go back and do grayed out missions. Rewards probably won't be much, but even random side quests and contracts have engaging stories. I almost missed out on Wild at Heart because it was grayed out but I decided to go back and do it on a whim. That made me decide to never miss any quests.

Witcher 3 is The Game That Never Ends. Normally that's a bad thing but in this case I never got bored. Even when I completed my 100 hour run I wanted more. Good thing I had Hearts of Stone!

Witcher 3 is the only game I've seen where the female characters have the agency to dump you for two-timing them. Usually in games you just get a "Pick one of us to progress the relationship" scene/ultimatum.

Palpek posted:The pitchfork story is also the little detail that makes a difference with the Cat school witcher. If you don't know the books it doesn't really matter that the Cat dude got jumped by a guy with a pitchfork but when you know Geralt's story you can tell that he's way more understanding for the dude after hearing that. Geralt even comments that 'it's a very dangerous weapon in close-quarters' and pauses as if he's remembering that situation. I couldn't kill him after that. I agree, Geralt is definitely understanding of someone's reasons for murdering every man, woman and child in a village. It's not like his entire thing is defending the innocent and bringing justice to evil scum or anything.

The Lone Badger posted:I was thinking of the village in the Vizime outskirts (in Witcher 1). It was kinda on fire and filled with corpses when I left. Killing everyone who attacks you is exactly the same as chasing down every man woman and child in the village.

sebmojo posted:Haha you are me. I 'knew' they wouldn't just have her die like that, but it was masterfully delivered. And now they are chill monster hunting bros, best ending. I'd heard that it was possible for Ciri to die, so when my epilogue started with me being fooled and thinking the sword was a memorial to her. Then I tried to equip it and realised it had a level 1 requirement, suitable for someone just starting out Witchering.... That's when I picked up on what was going on. The epilogues are so good.

8-Bit Scholar posted:Huh. It's a weird thing coming to this game with no real knowledge of the world--I think they banked on that to try and set up moral choices for you. I'm in Novigrad and I accepted a Witcher contract Guards gettin' murked by some mysterious creature, as they were out a whoring. I track it down, determine it's a succubus, think "okay, it's probably gonna try and seduce/deceive me like all those rear end in a top hat lady ghosts did." so when the dialogue tree begins I just choose to straight up murder her. I mean, succubus, kills guys with sex, just a monster with a pretty face. But then I read the glossary entry after turning the quest in and I saw that in this world, succubi are not murderous at all, and don't steal souls or suck blood or anything like that. They're just super nymphos. This is why you always check your glossary when doing witcher contracts.
