I saw someone say Yen was being a bitch about some line and when I got to that line I laughed because it was obviously a playful joke at Geralt's expense (Trial of Grasses joke).

Meta-Mollusk posted:Gotta say that I absolutely loved the look on Thaler's face when (Major quest spoilers) Geralt tells Dijkstra he won't let him kill them. I liked Dijkstra too, but not enough to let him kill three cool and good characters in one blow. i like him too, but i liked how it was totally in character and him and geralt kinda look at each other like "welp business is business"

Nasgate posted:I don't understand people's troubles with starting gwent. I beat the Baron on my second try and he was the first person I played cards with after white orchard. my only trouble starting gwent was making sure to tell the first dude who suggested it to gently caress off and then never playing it again

i am annoyed they could not just have also had a poker option and in the intro tavern you can say no to the pokemans and go sit in at a poker game

Macaluso posted:Man I loved the Dandelion murder/mystery quest line. And it was cool that it culminated in a higher vampire fight. Is this the quest that I kept seeing referenced a few times in this thread where some of you were like "No, that guy you killed wasn't actually the murderer, it was the other guy!"? Cause if it was, I dunno it seemed pretty obvious to me that the coroner couldn't be trusted. Not to mention the clues that showed he just kind of vanished as he escaped (unless he STILL wasn't the murderer). I try to not get into fights if I can help it, and I'm glad I did cause I was able to mind control the one dude who was just a sick bastard who wanted to burn and hurt that one whore in the brothel into not doing anything. I still murdered the church dude cause gently caress that guy

Bum the Sad posted:So if I enjoyed Skyrim/Oblivion and want something similar I should not get this game. You will like this game if you like skyrim, however the combat is in general more difficult and more involved (until you outlevel things/are on death march) and it involves more dialogue and storytelling. Otherwise you get to explore an open world with caves and small dungeons (4/5 rooms really), get fancy new swords and armor, and do tons of sidequests.

radiatinglines posted:TES animation and movement philosophy: we can't animate the footwork for your character stepping back and to the left six inches, so we'll just make him slide magically on the ground which looks goofy but takes you where you want to go. the movement is definitely one of the biggest strikes against the game, along with the inventory system being hot garbage.

Spiky Ooze posted:To me it was the opposite. The Witcher is better at direct storytelling with cutscenes and whatnot, but exploration gameplay doesn't really have anything to it at all. Almost every marker on the map is just a monster, a bandit group, a chest of diagrams that take 2 minutes to deal with if that. (Granted it's entertaining in a collect them all way, to a point) Only because it was created for a specific sidequest. Like how many truly large areas in skyrim are only there for the purpose of exploring? Most of the biggest and best ones are there for specific quest lines, and while you can certainly explore them beforehand, I feel like that's reaching a bit. I will grant skyrim has way better dungeon crawling since that is virtually nonexistent in W3.

i actually really like how much more realistic the armor is in the Witcher then a lot of other games. It mostly looks like what it really would have looked like. The are no spikes or other random bits of metal that make no sense, and it uses gamebesons instead of leather (outside of boiling and hardening it into rawhide leather does almost nothing), and even shys away from "studded leather" armor for the most part.

Bob NewSCART posted:Are there sick nasty sets of armor and weapons in this game? I haven't really played either of the previous witcher games but from what I understood witcher 1 had some gear, but not a lot, witcher 2 added a decent amount. Where does the third stand? there are sets of witcher gear that offer the best bonuses and look awesome, as well as plenty of different kinds of other armor to wear if you would rather take a slight performance hit a look the way you want

JetsGuy posted:Great, that's what I was hoping was happening. In general, money is not a major issue after Velen. By the time you really need to be crafting stuff, you will have most of what you need and can afford whatever it costs to just buy the stuff from the smith. So cluttering your inventory with books and poo poo is not really worth it, just sell them for the 1-5 crowns to the next merchant you run across. As for jewelry, maybe dismantle a few of them so you have some gold/gems in your inv, but after that just hock them, or sell the early ones for cash and dismantle ones later for mats.

Palpek posted:Or better sell them to the book merchant on the main Novigrad square. Not the one with an actual building but a guy standing on the square. He's paying way better for books. yes, but that means holding on to them until the next time you are in novigrad.

how me a frog posted:The real genius of this loving game is how it gets into your head. In the end I figure Nilfgaard is the least evil of the 2 major powers. Its an expansionist empire that starts wars of conquest, but Radovid pretty much did the same thing, and even Temeria was hardly a lovable entity. As things stand at the start of the game, Nilfgaard is the least evil, to me.

moot the hopple posted:Are other people finding blacksmiths in general really buggy? Most that I come across are noninteractive unless I meditate for an hour first, but for a couple smith that's not a guaranteed fix. Some smiths won't even appear in their designated spot during the day hours unless I rest. only 2 bugged merchants i know are the smith in the square in novigrad who will not show up without meditating, and the herbalist in the velen refugee camp abandoned site. The herbalist works the first time, and then after that i can interact with him but never go to the store menu.

Arglebargle III posted:OMG Ciri died ending the White Frost! You babied her a bit too much and did not build up her confidence enough. I do not remember all of the checks, you need to let her confront phillipa alone, go break in to avellach's lab, go pay her respects to the man who helped her, and should refuse payment from the emperor if you took her there. There may be another im forgetting, and I do not know how many are needed to succeed. Macaluso posted:Did you completely finish the game yet? Up to the end credits? Do that Also this

Attitude Indicator posted:this has probably been asked before but, the millions of paper scraps and books and whatnot Geralt keeps collecting aren't necessary to keep after I read them, right? Like if I drop a note with a contract on it, the quest won't dissapear or anything as long as i've read it? No need to keep it unless you really really want to reread them. Just sell them to the nearest general merchant

Tony Montana posted:It's just the 'screenplay' of Witcher 3 that doesn't really grab me. Ok I found my girl, oh she's being all weird and we are going off to meet some other guy? Probably for some fetch kinda quest. Yep sure, this guy wants me to find someone/thing. Ok.. lets go meet that Bloody Baron.. oh. He wants me to fetch too.. It sounds like you are not a fan of the game, and are taking a really reductionist route to interpreting the quests and stuff, and that's cool, not everyone has to like it. The quests are definitely more on rails then in skyrim or fallout and your options to deal with them are more limited. Describing the bloody baron storyline as a fetch quest is really taking a surface level approach though. The witcher senses are indeed highlighting stuff and pressing x, but you can be reductionist like that with nearly any game if you want to. What those scenes do for me is: A - make me feel like fantasy medieval batman B - flesh out the story even more then the initial notice and conversation, and give context to killing this monster.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:
tbh, witcher 3 really follows morrowind's lead in fleshing out minor questlines with extra content. Morrowind used extra dialogue options that would give a full reason for why you are in cave #244 against yet another ash vampire, but that backstory helped make you feel more involved. Witcher 3 has plenty of dialogue as well as the written notices and witcher sense commentary plus the bestiary/character tabs.

Wiseblood posted:I never took that path but it was stated earlier that one option was to take the botchling's blood to the pellar. When you kill the botchling, you then take its blood to pellar. The pellar then uses the blood to summon the ghost of the miscarried baby during a ritual where you have to protect 3 stones from endlessly spawning wraiths while he communicates with the spirit. He then uses that info to send you on the track of the fisherman's hut WoodrowSkillson fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Manatee Cannon posted:They already said that Geralt is being retired as the main character I'd be happy with a new witcher protagonist and all new characters and settings. There are plenty of references to other witcher schools and whatnot so its not like they are married to the northern kingdoms. Might be cool to see some more environments then Fantasy Poland. Some deserts, maybe a jungle, carribean islands a la asscreed black flag, that kinda stuff.

Ice Fist posted:Gwent is really loving awesome... until you get to the point in the game where every game is just "play all your spies, decoys and medics so you have a bajillion cards in your hand and win with ten thousand points." Early on though you actually have to strategize and get a little lucky in some cases. In any case it's a million times better than "WHY THE gently caress DID ALL MY DICE JUST ROLL OFF THE BOARD I BARELY TOUCHED THE CONTROLS gently caress THIS GAME FOREVER" dice poker from the second game. they could have just done like, poker, or really anything that's not medieval pokemons

It's not as weak as Yen's and Triss's DLCs but honestly just looks functionally dumb in a game where all Geralt's outfits are on the realistic side. to be fair, eskel and lambert have the exact same problem going on, as well as the wolf armor. it seems to be some weird stylistic choice that witchers feel the single most exposed and vulnerable part of their body needs to be left open to attack, and its obvious why she also only has a belly shirt on under it.
