There's a lot of the first game being made currently, the books are set before the first of the games and can only enhance your enjoyment of the games by filling in world building, the English translation does leave a lot to be desired though. You should just play the second game because it's the best of the series

Yeah Yen and Triss were best friends since before Geralt had met either of them.

Futuresight posted:O'Dimm worked especially well because it was a choice in the end. Like, it was an easy choice to fight against pure evil, but I was still like damnit I wanted to give that other guy his just desserts but now I gotta save him. It made it feel like I was making a meaningful choice, even if I was always going to make the choice I did. In B&W there's really no good reason to go to the hidden one, the difference between the 2 outcomes at the ruin are based on some deus ex machina, and the result at the palace come from some dialog choices that don't feel like they earn the different endings. gently caress that Olgeird sold his soul, he deserved everything he got.

Alchenar posted:I mean, they could remake Witcher 3 in Witcher 1 quite easily though. That's actually a really great idea. There's a ton of cool stuff in the first game that a vast majority of English fans have probably never seen. You give Vizima the Novigrad treatment and keep the scheduled npc's from the first game and you'd have one of the most lively RPG's ever. Bring back some of the cool stuff from the first game like the group style and drop all the lovely voice acting and terrible bland encounters and you'd have a great game.

You cannot tell me you didn't lament the loss of it the first time you that god forsaken entered the cave with all the Necrophages in it in Witcher 2.

GrossMurpel posted:You mean the Nekker cave, right? Hardest part of the game right there. I also still remember the first time I went to investigate Kayran poo poo with Triss and about 3 Drowners showed up. I went very quickly from "LOL drowners" to "gently caress gently caress gently caress". Yeah that cave I vivedly remember rolling around like crazy and tossing out my entire stock of bombs just trying to keep those things away from me. The actual hardest part was when the game stole all my witcher powers so I could play as a ghost for the hardest twenty minutes in the game. I love the second game but gently caress that part.

GrossMurpel posted:It's also great if you've been only speccing into Signs and don't even have proper parries. Or if your'e like me and you went all in on alchemy so Geralt was a total wimp until you downed some potions and became a pale, eye bulging, vein popping monster who ripped and teared his way through enemies.

I think you guys are being way to easy on Olgierd . He willingly sold his soul to the devil, he was not coerced in any way shape or form. He spent how long creating summoning circles and trying to summon otherworldly power. He's not an innocent who got tricked into this, he was seeking out the devil. Secondly just because he lacks a conscience doesn't mean he has to be an immoral person. There are many Sociopathic people in this world who lead completely normal lives. You say that he regrets what he's done and can change, but despite his words in no way do his actions show this. Before his contract he took pleasure in raping, stealing, and murdering. And then when you first meet him he's leading a gang of people who...rape, murder, and steal. You don't need a conscience to tell you that that isn't the kind of company you should keep if you're looking to atone for your sins. Indeed his first action in the game is to set you up to kill an innocent man that he has transformed, and who he likely knew had men coming to return him to his original form. His first action is to send you off to die, not the actions of someone who deserves forgiveness. I had like three paragraphs here comparing Ole and Goethe's Faust here but typing it just made me want to reread it and it honestly doesn't change my actual conclusions it just solidify's my reasoning so it got cut. The second point that I'll disagree with you guys on is that you're making the mistake of putting Geralt into the shoes of the Arbitrator of what's right and wrong. Geralt isn't damning Ole by not interceding, Ole already sold his soul for his wishes and those wishes were granted it follows that Gaunter would get his soul. A simple transaction. By interceding to save him you're saying that Geralt has the authority to determine who lives and who dies. From where does he derive this authority? He's not a judge, a king, or a representative of god. When Faust dies an entire heavenly host descends to carry his immortal parts to heaven. Clearly the same doesn't happen for Ole. The only thing stopping Gaunter from taking his soul is Geralt, and the only reason Geralt can stop him is that he's incredibly powerful. By saving Ole you're implicitly tying authority to power. And if you can claim that because Geralt is powerful he has a right to determine the fates of those around him, and be morally right in doing so then it follows that people more powerful then him also have that right. Was Henselt right to rape Ves and murder the blue stripes, was The emperor right to invade the north and cause untold suffering over and over merely to increase the size of his demesne, And was Radovid right to begin his pogroms against magic users and non humans? If the only way we can determine moral authority is by the level of power that the person making the judgements has then all of these horrible things that these people have done was in fact justifiable. Geralt is not making a statement by letting Gaunter take Ole's soul he's merely letting events lead to their natural conclusion. By interceding he's putting himself in a position of authority over life and death entirely based on his Martial abilities, and in fact implicitly endorsing a might makes right mentality, that's logical conclusion results in arbitrary judgment and widespread misery for the weakest and poorest of the world. In conclusion not only is Ole not worth saving, Geralt has no authority to do so.

Alchenar posted:The scene when Geralt, Gaunter, and Olgierd come together for the finale is an absolute mastercraft though. Perhaps if he hadn't destroyed their lives and sold his soul he might deserve some sympathy. Wishing that you hadn't done something isn't the same as making amends Ole did nothing for any of those people and he continually brings more misery to the general populace.

Telling players not to do something is a surefire way to get them to do it.

No videogame has done inventory management as well as resident evil four. There was nothing like hearing that satisfying click as you rearranged all your grenades, eggs, and fish to fit in that sniper rifle.

BiggerBoat posted:I just thought Triss was hotter and went with my base, shallow lustful desires pretending to be bad rear end Witcher ladies man. I didn't put a lot of thought into it. You followed your heart and should be commended Also Triss hosed up big time but owns up to it and is willing to change as a person. She is also selfless enough to stay in a city undergoing a genocide to help people escape. Yennefer is a miserable person, who destroys sacred sites and tortures people for purely selfish reasons
