You don't need to remember a name. She falls out a window in episode 1, she's alive in episode 4. And her lover/husband is walking around.

The books are also best sellers right now on Amazon.EdsTeioh posted:My apologies if this is a dumb question; I know this Witcher is pretty full of "adult" content, but I've heard that you can disable cutscenes and it essentially cuts out all of the swearing/nudity/etc...is this accurate? My daughter really likes to just walk around countrysides and ride horses in games and I got in trouble for the gratuitous use of "gently caress" in Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

You really shouldn't use the fast travel mod your first time through the game (or auto-oils, but that's just imo). You end up skipping a ton of flags that you don't know are supposed to be there and end up breaking quests. Or just missing content altogether. (Don't know if it's your first playthrough. Just speaking in general.)

First time through the game I recommend the fall damage mod, a max weight mode, and maybe the better compass mod. That's it. If you absolutely hate the inventory interface, somebody mentioned a modified/selective auto oil mod.

lezard_valeth posted:Also how smart is the auto sheath function? Does it take out the appropiate sword for the type of enemy you are fighting? Or is it better if you manually sheath/unsheath? That's what it's for. You can turn it off, but I assume you don't want to. There's a mod for auto applying oil, or a mod for auto applying oils but only for monsters you have in your codex (apparently). The latter at least doesn't ignore the whole idea of preparing yourself before a monster hunt. You craft potions once and they recharge when you meditate. Same with bombs or any other Witcher consumable.

iirc, you only need 4 points in green to be able to use 3 to 4 decoctions at the same time. So just throw a handful of points in there and see what happens.

I don't think anyone liked the Nilfgaardian armor. Truely an awful piece of work. I enjoyed watching Emma Appleton as Renfri so much that I'd like them to cast her in another role in the show. Preferably one requiring swordwork.

They should have made another quest chain after the Radovid one where you have to find out what happened to Ves and Roche. Then show one of those small cutscenes referencing unintended consequences at the end. chaosapiant posted:finished episode 1 for the third time

Yeah that first Olgried fight is a really tense moment. The designers really stepped up their game in HoS with the fights. Mechanically and otherwise.hobbesmaster posted:The next game should be “Ciri aimlessly teleports” Ciri throws an empty wine bottle into the camp fire.

Fuzz posted:Some people have really bad and dumb takes on the pick in this game because Triss is a redhead that fawns over you and media and video games have conditioned men to think that's the ideal mate, regardless of the other poo poo they do. Going only by the games, that's not really fair. She's really supportive in the second one, and they seemed to have real chemistry. Of course, she didn't tell him about Yennefer, but Yen didn't even bother to go to him and lift his amnesia. Blind Rasputin posted:Isn’t Triss the better option because she might still be fertile? Or at least that was my understanding. I thought it was obviously better to pick the more fertile woman. I watched the Netflix show and.. Yen is definitely NOT fertile lol  Atlas Risen posted:Is it ever explained if Geralt’s sterility is due to gametic incompatibility or zygotic mortality or some other mechanism? I think that witchers are just not compatible with normal humans because of their mutations. They're probably not compatible with each other either. And there aren't any female witchers, so... no witcher children. itry fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Jan 18, 2020 |

Just a single sunset I rode around in would have popped it into the top tier of games, but the writing, the depth of stories and characters, it's remarkable how much they were able to do, and I'm only lvl 12. Enjoying wandering off dispensing personal justice on monsters and humans all over the place.  Cowcaster posted:so since i’m making progress in blood and wine now i have questions. feel free to spoiler things out of courtesy for other people but personally i don’t give a poo poo. i know at some point the main quest forks, and one has a fantasy dreamland world with a talking roach and the other doesn’t. my question is, what path do i have to take to get that, and what endings it entails i get. Adding to what Helith said; the Elder Vampire path has an upgraded version of a certain set you can get in the expansion area. And a sword, iirc. The other path has a Dark Souls easter egg sword. You should definitely do the orphanage bit before the Elder Vampire. The former has more of a horror vibe. The latter I think is better written, and more fantastical. itry fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Feb 11, 2020 |

Yeah, there's soft-lock and it can be pretty annoying if you're playing with M+K and no lock-on. Also, I strongly recommend turning off the points of interest on your map if this is your first playthrough. Edit: Just follow roads or ride to places that look interesting on the map. Usually there'll be something there. itry fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Feb 16, 2020 |

You can also set up your own waypoints on the map. I didn't mean to suggest that you should now ignore the map and mini-map completely and nvaigate by the sun and moon. Also, Ainsley McTree posted:Obviously you should play in the way that’s fun for you and if that means roaming and clearing the map then go for it, but just know that you’re not expected to do this to win or anything, you can stop whenever you want. WaltherFeng posted:Are the skill points particularly valuable? Or something you definitely have to look out for? Do you mean the places of power? They're important in that they give you a free skill point and a temp bonus. Also they're cool to find by the sound they make while doing something else. itry fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Feb 16, 2020 |

Yeah, a point of interest on the map can be anything. Unless it's in the middle of the sea, then it's probably a sunken treasure. Edit: They're usually placed in interesting or scenic places.
