I think it's amazing how the same developer and IP have the worst western RPG I've ever played and the best one I've ever played

cat helps a lot with those bits..but gently caress the swimming in general really

It's extremely hosed up that the new movement system doesn't apply to the swimming, and that Geralt never seems to swim level unless he's on the surface or the very bottom. The mission where you go looking for the djinn with Yennifer was extremely painful.

Yeah if you wore faction armor hostile factions wouldn't attack unless you got close to a really high ranking person or opened fire first. This let you do some of the side quests in either faction base if you didnt do them or whatever.

ive punched a deer to death before. and petted a deer. its not that different from eachother, easy to do with a handful of animal food

Everyone knows it's easier and healthier to make your own deer at home

Ransoming design documents for a video game is pretty cyberpunk

It grinds my gears that Bethesda sets the western RPG standard when Witcher 3 exists

the arbitrary mobs of random normal-looking enemies that are actually extremely powerful are the worst part of the game but they don't really matter too much

Ironically its probably the only thing in the game that reminds me of typical western RPG horseshit

i hope cyberpunk 2077 is even close to as good as witcher 3

If it's only half as good it'll still be better than most western RPGs

all the better balance mods for witcher 3 involve either making you a god with every skill maxed out and selling things gives you more gold than buying them, or it makes it so that you have to be naked with 1 sword or youre over max weight and everything murders you

Death March is pretty much perfect IMO.

Anything underwater in this game is just so tedious.

Playing Witcher 3 without the context is kind of like pulling a detective novel off the shelf and it has a bunch of references to the past you only sort of get. That's good to me.

I go back and forth because even though the music is good it feels kind of repetitive
