RatHat posted:I wonder what happens in the PC version if you import a save and then answer the opposite of what you did during the part that allows you to choose your past. That part is optional, I believe. I would therefore assume that loading a save would just automatically skip that part.

JESUS loving CHRIST the facial expressions in this are INSANE. I haven't even gotten past the tutorial yet and I had to stop playing to tell people how well done the animations and faces are in this. Yennefer does this quick little eyebrow raise, Vesemir has this perfect stern expression (And they got back the VA from Witcher 1 for him!), and young Ciri does this laugh that's the single best piece of facial animation in a game since Ellie's "pffff"

Jesus, every little quest has like cinematography and everything. Instead of Bioware static Camera A/Camera B conversations, you get pan shots to show important areas. This game is special. Feels like I'm playing a goddamn movie.

For everyone's information, the part where you fill in what happens in Witcher 2 occurs after the initial prologue. In other words, don't worry, you haven't missed it, it just doesn't come up until after you're out of the first open area.

poptart_fairy posted:Wait, you can haggle?! When was the tutorial?! It came up for me when I was talking to the guy about the well quest. There was a dialogue option to ask about my price, and selecting that brought me to the haggle menu and gave me the tutorial. I'm sure there'll be other opportunities down the line.

Yeah, the way I understand it is food heals at a set rate, the only difference is how long that rate goes for.

Pigbottom posted:How often do you guys see rain ingame? I´m just done with white orchard at about 5 and a half hours of play and haven´t seen rain yet. I´m either bugged or very unlucky. I had a light sprinkling in my game so far. I was more impressed with the wind storm that occurred, though. No rain, but the skies got ominous, and the wind was blowing so hard I could hear trees groaning from the strain.

Also as a fan of the books, I laughed out loud when the first piece of instruction Geralt gives to Ciri during training is "Pirouette". I swear, learning how to pirouette in the Witcher universe makes you a completely unstoppable badass.

CrusherEAGLE posted:At the end of the griffin quest, I turned down the money instead of taking it. Does this impact anything at all later? Or did I just make a dumb decision? You get a gem instead of money. Of course, by being told that, I've just ruined the illusion for you. The point is, you get to choose how Geralt reacts to the world around him and have to live with those consequences.In this case, the consequence is Geralt either chooses pride over money, or money over pride.

RangerScum posted:So I am not entirely certain with how choosing skills works when leveling up. You need to have the ability "equipped" in order to use it, yes. If it's not in that section over there, it doesn't count. And yes, you'll be limited, but you can always both respec all your spent ability points, as well as pick and choose what abilities you have ready at the moment. About to fight a monster weak to spells? Time to pop some potions and ready your skills for spells. Stuff like that.

Ciaphas posted:About an hour in to the game. Having not playing Witcher 1 or 2, should I know what the hell the Wild Hunt is, or who Yennefer and Trish actually are? You can put it together pretty quickly, considering the Wild Hunt was only in the background for 1 and 2, and Witcher 3 is the first time we've ever seen Yennefer in the games. There's also a glossary in the game you can use to look things up, as well. Also, the prologue never happened, it's a dream Geralt has. He talks to Vesemir about how Yen was there, even though she's never been to the stronghold in her life

HelmetCheese posted:What's the deal with enemies regenerating health super fast in combat, is this a glitch or something? I'm trying to kill a werewolf and about 2/3 of the way through the fight it starts regenerating health faster than I can damage the loving thing. This happened the first few times I tried to kill the botchling, too. It's really harshing my buzz here. Magical creatures often have advanced healing. Set them on fire, pop some oils on your sword, something like that.

Ravenfood posted:Wild at Heart: What did people choose? I ended up killing the werewolf because while Margrit is crazy as poo poo, she doesn't actually turn into a giant ravenous wolfthing every so often. His system might work for a while, but that's still a huge risk for the village. Anyone want to tell me why I'm a terrible person? I did the same, but was hoping there'd be some opportunity to be all "Hey, just because I didn't let this monster kill you doesn't mean you're not the worst person ever". However, you're still a terrible person because you made a choice in the Witcher universe, and all choices are terrible and the consequences are bad. EDIT: Oh, and to answer your edit, if you go the other way he kills her, then comes up afterwards and begs you to end his torment.

ImpAtom posted:My big problem with Axii is that like every major decision with it can be replicated with cold hard cash and money is so plentiful it doesn't feel worth saving it. On the other hand, I like the smug rear end feeling I get when I save a measly hundred coins by waving my hand around. And what is roleplaying, if not letting you feel incredibly smug when you do something ultimately inconsequential?

There's a blacksmith in the fish market in Novigrad, and there's an armorer just to the north, in the main courtyard where that stake burning occurred. He doesn't always show up on the minimap at first, it sometimes takes him a while to load in, but he's got a little shop in one of those side alcoves.

Cephalocidal posted:Game is full of minorities. poo poo, probably a third of the Witcher contracts you get have you going after something sentient and not 100% evil. Elves, dwarves, halflings, dopplers, there are all kinds of neat and grotesque social dynamics that get explored. Only a handful of people you meet have dark skin, but given the appalling ignorance of the Velen peasantry, the violent bigotry and corruption of the eternal flame and Radovid's witch hunters in Novigrad, and the violent viking caricatures of Skellige, it's not like there's any shying away from the idea of how "basically us, just slightly superficially different" fits into the world. That's a perfectly fair thing, but the reason it doesn't quite fly is that the white dudes are still being played by white dudes. There's a black woman in the game, which is cool, but she's also a demon that kills people with sex. Which is also totally awesome, except then you get into that whole representation thing. Also Gwent is terrifically addicting and oh my god I started playing it way too late, I have the worst cards and everything is terrible. Something for my next playthrough as Card Shark Geralt, at least. Where's my reflective sunglasses DLC, CDProjekt? Crappy Jack fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jun 4, 2015 |
