There are some amazing side quests in this game. You described the Contracts which are nothing but optional minigames.
I'm loving the game, but jesus christ i'm getting tired of doing favors to do favors to do other favors to find Ciri.
At least I just banged that hot redhead.

They are sidequests. Playing a semantic switcheroo to try and hide it is fanboyism at its worst. ALL side quests are optional by definition not sure how that it any way justifies the fact that The Witcher 3 is full to the brim with copypasted filler garbage while its fans croon about how everything is so unique and handcrafted
>>341459917
Wish the really cool sidequests had special marks or that the game let's you see all quests on the map instead of just the one you're following.
>>341459917

Pointing out factual things are no counterargument by default, you could aswell say that grass is usually green.
>>341463006
Witcher 3 isn't an RPG though.
>>341463479
Obviously. Its an action adventure game. CDPRdrones can not accept this basic fact though.
>>341460614
Yeah, they pad the mainquest like crazy. Geralt even jokes about it at one point, he talks about how silly it is that he has to help one guy to find another guy that he must help so maybe he could tell where a third guy is who might know where Ciri is.
I had to take 3 breaks from the game.
>>341463757
Im looking for an ashen haired woman Simulator 2k15
>>341460441
yup those are how the Witcher contract side missions go, although the rest of the side missions are different
>>341462969
Maybe because it happens at least ONCE per each book? And when they were short stories, you can count on one hand those where Geralt is NOT getting shit for being a witcher in inn or place like that.
Hell, the very first witcher story opens with this.
So what's your problem? That it's part of the franchise? A standard element of the setting?
>>341463479
You roleplay as Geralt and you can decide what ever you want to do. Same shit as in Elder scrolls games, but in those games you can choose your character, but that's about it
>>341463479
... and it's not RPG, cause...?
>Here comes the post about not being able to make your own character
No wonder WRPG went to shit since mid 00s

So I suppose no, what you described is not every Witcher side quest.

And what OP wrote are contracts. So what's your point?
>>341464043
>Mario is an RPG because you roleplay as mario
The Witcher is not an RPG. RoleChoosingGame is a more accurate title of the genre that Witcher 3 does not belong to.
>>341464321
Alright so all you gotta do is switch the name out and that makes it okay to make them lazy and shitty. Gotcha.
>>341459917
What you described is a monster contract quest which is a sub-category of quests that are not even side-quests.

>>341464578
Basically this. Monster contracts are an actual job for a Witcher and jobs are formulaic by nature. It's a source of income, nothing more. Actual sidequests are mostly god tier.
>>341464043
Tetris is an RPG because you take the role of someone arranging bricks. By your logic.

>>341464536
>I'm gonna insist it's lazy and shitty because "reasons"
Ok
witcher contract monster are usually much stronger 2-3 hit load save.
>>341464680
The trolls have been my favorite characters in every game. That troll couple in witcher 2 was comedy gold. The rock trolls in 3 are alright though, but they have their moments.
I will say though, the godlings are my favorite sentient monsters.
>>341465065
troll in witcher 2 are much better.
>>341463479
But that is even worse, it means that entire genre has nothing to contrapose to the game that is not a RPG, that's fucking embarrassing.
>>341464371
So going by your definition, this isn't an RPG
>>341465065
Thaler teaching trolls to swear and that troll who was enlisted in the Redanian army were definite highlights.
Also Geralt escorting Princess had me in tears.
>>341464814
>>341464747
>Its shit on purpose
Is there a medal for Mental Gymnastics? Give these motherfuckers gold.
But its okay I hear you. OP is right and the game is full of shitty quests but its okay becayse they are called "contracts" or w/e
Imma make an RPG and just copy paste the same shit over and over and call em "Jobs. Itll be gucchi cus Im demonstrating the tedium of work and fanboys will eat that shit up
>>341464814
So you label some sidequests as not sidequests and people give Bethesda shit for making radiant quests.
Most other sidequests (treasure hunts) boil down to this
>find POI
>find corpse with key and note
>use Spidey senses to find chest 2 feet away
>receive 4 common ingedients and 2 pieces of equipment 5 levels below you ie vendor trash
>quest solved
>>341462093
they literally don't even place them in the side quest category
>>341465204
How would it compete with RPGs in being RPGs? It simply can't.
>>341465838
How are you guys struggling with the fact that what you call them makes no functional difference to what they are? Witcher fans confirmed for legally retarded.
They are side quests. Just because they have a different place in the UI and a different name doesnt mean they are not side quests.
Its hilarious how CDPR manipulated you dumb motherfuckers. "Free DLC" thats a bunch of outfits and hair styles to butter you up. Give the shitty content a different name and suddenly its totes okay because they arent called side quests in the menu
>>341465838
They're a sub category of side quests as there are so many boring ones CDPR had to separated them or Witcherbabbies would not be able to handle the game.

Pest control is a time honored tradition of RPG heroes. If you seriously think that the game would be better if all the fights were against titanic monsters and gods, you don't understand RPGs.
>>341459917
Geralt even comments how witcher contracts are just that. Its just easy money for an easy repetitive job. Unless they are way over levelled than you.
>>341466739
Anon, you can't help those retards. If the Poles called it anal sex inside of sidequests they would proudly tell their mothers they do anal sex in their free time.

Even so, you still get some neat monsters every now and then in witcher 3, like the giants, cyclops, griffins, forktails, etc.
A lot of them were shit tier monsters like nekkers, but hey, gotta get that coin somehow. I will say though, that one skellige peasant that thought a forktail was a dragon was hilarious.

Dungeons and Dragons is the definition of an RPG. The Witcher 3 has more in common with fucking Zelda than D&D.
Its an action adventure game with RPG elements.
This board is irredeemable at this point.
>>341468329
D&D is a tabletop game, not a computer game.

Besides the fact that they could have stopped after Novigrad and gotten away with Skellige and Kaer Moren as DLC and it would still be a more expansive game than most of the competition. For fucks sake they charge 14,99 for a DLC which by todays market standards should be a stand-alone game.
I understand that you people are mad that DS3 is already ded but please dont start bitching about this example of fine game development.

Baldurs Gate. Or you know, any game where you CHOOSE the role you play. A game with a defined role is not an RPG by definition, only a game with RPG elements
>>341459917
OK those are half of sidequests. 2/3 of which also have rich backstory.
Now let's take every Bethesda open world RPG quest:
>Kill/Find that/this in this location on the other side of the world.
>Yes/No
>Accept Quest
>After 4 hours of pressing W you arrive to destination
Bonus points to Skyrim: It's exactly the same dungeon but with different name and slight changes to corridor positions.
>Kill anything that moves with 2 Swords since everything else sucks ass.
>head back to collect worthless currency.
>>341459917
What if those types of quests had their own section in the quest journal, set apart from actually interesting sidequests?
Oh wait, they actually do.

"choosing a role" is an inconclusive definition. it doesn't name any actual gameplay nor storytelling mechanics. try again.
>>341468760
Its witcherfags playing word games trying to avoid valid criticism solely on the basis of what they are called.
Their argument is literally "its okay they are shit because they are not called quests"
That other guy had it right, if its that simple Ill make my own game and just put all the crap content under a different tab from the quests one.
>>341468782
>Or you know, any game where you CHOOSE the role you play
You can't win, these braindead fanboys think making mundane dialogue choices is exactly what you're describing and makes or breaks the genre. The idea that you can choose the role you play outside of dialogue choices is completely foreign to them, any game with EXP/progression system, crafting and dialogue is an RPG.
>>341469252

Literally my last two witcher contracts. I forgot how cool some of this shit was because I had spent the last twenty hours just doing sidequests in Novigrad. Sure it's not very RPG-ish, but I feel like a fucking badass monster slayer.
>>341468782
No. cRPGs are called RPGs because they borrowed mechanics from pen and paper RPGs, which were the actual role playing games. Don't trick yourself into believing you're actually playing the role of your [CHARACTER NAME] the [CHARACTER CLASS] any more than you do with any other game.
>>341469680
Yesss, we finally see the retardation at work.
>RPG classes
Battlefield is an RPG, because it has classes.
League of Legends is an RPG, it has classes (or even better, "roles").
Rouge Legacy is an RPG, it has classes.
You want me to go on with your idiotic definition?

Ohhh I see, so its okay that they are shit because they are just there for grinding! I have no reaction gif appropriate to express how silly you sound.
Why dont you fanboys just admit that Witcher 3 has a bunch of crap filler just like every other open world game, and stop trying to convince everybody otherwise?
Its okay that a game isnt perfect y'know? I promise you, you will lead a much better life if you dont get defensive and feelings hurt when someone criticises something you dont like. You can just say "Youre right, witcher 3 has some shitty quests, oh well" and get on with your day. Instead of being trolled to death.

You are the same kind of retard who would smugly ask for the definition of something and then proceed to shitpost every reply you receive with the definition or an actual game of the genre not because you're fishing for replies but because you have no clue of anything but have an unintelligent defintion which is cemented into your peasized brain.
>>341471514

But you're from reddit bull.
>>341470204
I never claimed those games were RPGs, nice strawman. How about understanding gameplay design and philosophy properly? If a game seeks to give you multiple, distinct ways to play game its an RPG.
How babby summerfags define RPG: dialogue choices. So many faggot kids these days think RPG means branching dialogue
got proven wrong but act like he win an argument. fucking pathetic.
>>341463479
I guess this game isn't an RPG as well?
>>341470204
That was my point, to these idiots anything with those light RPG elements is a full-blown RPG because modern WRPGs have strayed so far from what an actual RPG is. If the game has cutscenes and lets you choose "yes/no/no-but-I-really-mean-yes/snarky quip, choose again" then it's an RPG to these dipshits.
Fucking Skyrim and Fallout 4 give you more room to role-play than Witcher 3 does and absolutely no one here pretends those are good RPGs. I just don't fucking get it, Witcher 3 is an action/adventure game with RPG elements (and poor ones at that) yet is hailed as the pinnacle of modern WRPGs.
>>341472125
planescape torment too.
>it's not a RPG if it doesn't fit my highly specific and subjective definition of an RPG
OK fags
>>341459917
Huge fan of Witcher series and 3. But OP be right man there is more copy pasted type quests but sometimes they have like journal flavor. It kinda has to do with the fact that people want "more content"

>Fucking Skyrim and Fallout 4 give you more room to role-play than Witcher 3
What is there to roleplay in Skyrim? Haven't played Fallout 4 so I can't know. But as far as I remember Skyrim's quests don't offer you a lot of choices, they're literally "go to this draugr dungeon and fetch this item for me" even the main quest. You can't roleplay as a knight because people treat you the same way as they would treat a thief or a mage. You can enter the College of Winterhold and become the headmaster after a couple quests even if you're playing as a thief.

You know the full force of desiscions in Witcher 3?

>No (Goodbye)
>More money
Granted, that is for the contracts.
With the generic sidequests you have
>Help random guy (guy 2 dies)
>Help random other guy (find out guy 1 is monster, kill him)
Then there are very few story relevant sidequests which determine who will help you at some point
At the end of the quests you have one of two options
>be dick (random event)
>don't be a dick (random event)
>>341473627

By hard lock I mean that Geralt sometimes changes the opponent depending on where the camera is.
Lock-on system basically has two factors - camera, and the direction Geralt is facing. Most of the light attacks move him around so fucking much that lock-on system doesn't work, especially if the lock is so hard that it's impossible to unlock without pressing a coresponding button, faggot.

>Shit gameplay
Witcher 3 doesn't have perfect gameplay but I would call it far from shit. People who say Witcher 3 has shit gameplay either haven't played a lot of games or are just hyperbolizing.
It's not every Witcher side-quest but you're more or less right about a good portion, if not a majority of the actual witcher contracts.
The thing is, I don't think I'd know how, supposing I was a creative lead on the game, to make them any better. The very principle of the witcher contract is that it is Geralt's bread and butter, his daily grind.
The points of interest are horrible too. They shouldn't be marked in the quest log, they should just be, by default, unmarked both on the map and not log themselves in your quest log. Just treat them as random ruined buildings you can find (or not find) interesting shit in.
Hidden treasure is by far the worst.

Same. The game took me a while to beat. I kept losing interest
>>341459917
As someone who played the game, I cant argue this.
I would also add that they hide it really well by making you take detour during the sidequests, but in the end its always "talk to npc, talk to another npc, go to place, search place, get to cave, kill monster, go back to npc, make choice, complete quest"

Just when I thought our dedicated Witcher shitposter went away.

You can also easily tell from his angry usage of "witchercuck" and "CDPR drone" and accusing people of being shills whenever he's losing because those are the only shitty insults he can use.

>>341473078
So the nintendrone rears his ugly, flabby, manchild face.
Let's clear the air. Yes, contracts quests are kinda repetetive. But as repetitive as they are, still they are more unique than radiant shit from Bethesda or "collect 5 skulls" from Bioware. And let's not forget these quests are actually just a small part of all side missions in the game.
And about repetition. Geralt is a witcher. Tracking down shit and killing it is something he does for living. And fuck me if CDPR didn't try to make contract quests as unique as possible.

Dragon's dogma did it and it was great. They were even literal "go kill x monsters" too. still not a problem because they were just optional things you did if you were in the area.
so I don't see what you're complaining about.
>>341463479
it's true, playing it for the first time right now and the "roleplaying" is really weak, it's as bad as fo4s "roleplaying" and anyone who doesn't see it must be retarded. I expected something as good as FONV but was sorely disappointeed
weak dialogue options that don't change anything, poorly written dialogue choices that don't reflect what you actually end up saying, little to no actual choices that actually change the game, no multiple paths, very linear, options usually boil down to "kill x or spare x", heavy handed ham fisted morality that isn't all too thought out (like the lynch mob quest in velen).
I mean I like the gameplay and atmosphere and am enjoyibg it overall but goddamn stop deluding yourself into thinking it's a good rpg, it's a good action game but hardly an rpg unless you consider fo4 and me3 to be good rpgs.

It's a classic example of a superficial choice which has nearly the same outcome.
Same goes for the Bloody Baron, effect and cause where miles away with both decisions but the outcome is nearly the same
>Baron goes somewhere and never comes back to find a cure

FONV does this masterfully and has multiple options to complete most quests like talking your way through things, or sneaking, or using one of your skills or even flipping the tables and siding with someone else, you actually make choices in FONV and FONV had far more side quests and exploration content then tw3.
>>341475926

No it doesn't. Hard lock doesn't exist in the witcher 3. I'm too lazy to record a webm in the game right now. I'd provide you with a YouTube video but you'd say that I never played it. There's no winning with you, guys.

That's what I'm talking about. That's why witcher fans are the new soulsfags.
Instead of using arguments you're just gonna spout shit like "you haven't played it!". Some of shitposters already use "git gud".
I'm just fucking saying, compare the roleplaying in this game to a real rpg like FONV and our see its a pass poor rpg. it's funny how this is the same crowd who will shit on skyrim, fo4 and dragon age 3 for having shallow roleplaying yet they let tw3 get away with it.
Im as witcherfag as it gets but its being blind to not acknowledge that the game had a lot of filler.
It was still the best game of the last years by a mile even with its flaws , and no amount of shitposting will change that.
>>341476339
>Again, the outcome for the world and player is the same in both situations.
Not at all. Are you stupid? The outcome for the world is that either a pesta is on the loose and it ends up causing a plague that kills millions. If Keira survived she ends curing a bunch of diseases and Lambert gets a gf. If Baron lives he and his wife have hope for recovery. Otherwise it all ends in sadness.
Game wise you don't see much but there is a choice earlier that actually does get reflected in game. Kill the thugs in the Crossroad Inn and you are refused entry to the Baron and have to find another way. Don't kill them and they let you go in.
This choice is in the first five hours how the fuck did you miss it if you played the game shithead?
The contract quest are a lot more varied in the Blood and Wine expansion.

if she helps you at kaer morhen she will end up together with one of the witchers, giving that guy a different ending, also obviously, she fucking helps during the fight.
How is that the same "nearly the same outcome"
Like what kind of different outcomes do you even want?
>>341476991
Maybe because you don't actually know what you're talking about, and unlike every other fucking game these past 2 gens, watching videos of the game doesn't do it justice?

I don't understand what the gripe is. You don't even have to do the contracts. And if you DO do them, they're normally entertaining. of course not every side quest is going to be its own masterpiece, but you gotta give CDPR credit for giving you fun way to kill big baddies instead of just running around and finding them
>>341477137
Of course it is, but it doesn't influence the game as much as combat or movement. Talking to characters isn't a very rich part of the gameplay, it's literally beginning a conversation and moral choices.
>>341477220
>you don't actually know what you're talking about
Maybe you actually lie about the game to use an argument "you haven't played it"? There's no hard lock in The Witcher 3.
even if Jesus himself came down to save mankind, you faggots would find things to complain about
>>341477220
not that guy but the lock on in this game IS retarded, multiple times on death March I've been locked on to an enemy, nearly kill him, and than have the game auto change my target to an enemy with full hp right before I can land a killing blow. it's a shallow way to inflate the games difficulty and it does it every single time.

no it isn't
that's either the filler tier quests which are usually accompanied with something to read, to give the quest a little more story than readily apparent, or contracts which satisfy because a player who actually likes the game will have goals to collect ingredients for decoctions, with some monsters being quite rare to find "randomly" you would go after contracts in order to find the monsters. I was always happy to find contracts because it meant I might get to craft a new decoction.

>>341460918
That happens once in skellige and the guy your with dies, which leads you to a side quest with the king.
>>341477729
i would say it's a flawed masterpiece
still slavs' greatest contribution to mankind, even though that might not say much
>>341475140
I would gain nothing from that.
I would post valid things like a predefined character (Fallout 4) with next to zero character customization (muh Ciri), shallow stat mechanics (1 point into making 5% more damage, you have 12 slots for passive skills), nearly no dialogue choices, no meaningful progression outside of rigid builds due to only 12 defining slots, streamlined story etc
>>341477838
No, because the lock in influenced by two factors - middle of the camera/screen and the direction that Geralt is facing. And it's chaotic as fuck, especially because every single light attack makes Geralt move forward.
>>341477897
It happens in White Orchard and the Inn at the crossroads, and that's not even a king you do a sidequest with.

Maybe to you but I love the conversations, they're usually well written and the banter in certain conversations also makes the characters more charming.

Soft lock makes Geralt face whatever enemy he/camera is looking at; hard lock, which you get by pressing a button, forces Geralt to focus on that enemy regardless of everything else.

Take Letho for example, I stumbled across his sidequest and made it with killing the dudes despite his warning to step back.
Then I talked to him and sent him to Kaer Morhen. Later I saw on the internet that if I stood back and didn't let them cut his head of and he will go to the castle.

Making it so a guy that would die, doesn't was always enough for most RPGs I don't know where this contrarian trend that suddenly deciding who lives and who dies, who helps and who doesn't, and getting different endings is suddenly "choice doesn't matter".
>>341480354
Then tell me what changes in the game.

>>341480965
Who's present for the end fight
Who supports you
Who is alive
Whether or not entire communities exist anymore
>>341481247
You are really overstating alpha protocol. Most choices weren't game changing, but they were usually nicely referenced or felt a little significant.
>>341481526
That's only when someone starts an argument. In casual conversation it always goes to waifus.
Any notable sidequests in Skellige worth doing?
I finally got done doing most of everything to do in Velen/Novigrad except for some pointless ?'s and I'm pretty burnt out on doing them anymore and just want to get on with the main plot. I'm level 20 right now.
While many sidequests are flawed, they're still better than the kill x amount of monsters and item collection quests the last two games had. They could have had less, but made them longer and have a unique monster or old ones with a new moveset. The reliance on witcher senses is a flaw all sidequests share, but following blood or footprints without them would have made people just as butthurt. Not really sure how they could improve tracking.
>>341480049
Most in keepers and such will have cards to buy. EVERY NPC that you can play against will give you 1 card if you win against them. Typically the Gwent related quests give the best cards.
>>341478087
>not buying a round for the mercs so they leave you alone, and get thanked by the innkeep for not making a mess
The only real problem I have with this game is the retarded level scaling
Why can I find level 14 or even higher enemies in the first real area of the game? Why are they located there and why don't they level up with you as the game progresses.
The current system just leads into you bumping into high powered foes that one shot you.
The level scaling for sidequests is retarded too, I got a level 33 sidequest when I'm level 4. Why can't they just have more quests spawn as time goes on, instead of dumping all of them at once on the spot?
The progression is fucked in a lot of optional areas, the main quest is fine though.
>>341482071
Problem is, no matter what I play, I always lose.
I think I ignored Gwent so much that now even random people outlevel me by far.
>>341482361
They added an option for leveled enemies in the last update.
Also, is the captcha giving problems to anyone else?
>>341473907
1/10 made me reply
>>341468026
Then what about Call of Duty? There are classes and perks in that game. Does it make it an RPG? Just because a game has RPG elements does not make it an RPG.
To anyone who has played Witcher 3 and Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor, is Middle Earths combat better than Witcher 3s? Not trying to start anything, Wticher has its up sides. I just couldn't get into the combat.
I'm asking cause SoM is on a psn sale for 10 bucks and I'm thinking of getting it since I've heard it's good, but I don't want to bother if the combat isn't fun.
>>341474406
Wait, what ?
>>341481884
Cave of dreams.
>>341482534
Oh they did? So I can scale everything to my level?
What about quests?
I'll look into that, take it it is available on all platforms?
>>341482361
Are you for real? Level scaling is fucking retarded, it destroys the feeling of progression and makes all the enemies seem the same. I guess you'd love Oblivion because enemies level with you in that game and all bandits start wearing daedric armor at one point.
>>341482373
Gwent difficulty is separate to the game difficulty. Check the menu's and you can lower it.
That being said how do you lose? Depending on the strategy its better to lose a round and make the AI wast cards.
>>341481884
Skellige's most wanted, lighthouse contract.
>>341482832
middle earth combat kinda like batman arkham game.
>tfw want to play lone wolf geralt and ignore triss's and yennefer's wiles and just be a cool dad to ciri but the dialogue forces constantly romance and i'll probably get content locked out of bunch of other cool shit i want to see because of my decision
why it gotta be like this
>>341483020
I'd rather not have level 15 bandits right outside one of the bigger towns that I visit like 20 times during the main quest while I'm 10 levels under them.
Level scaling is retarded sure, but fuck me it would be better than the current system.
>>341483149
witcher 2 are the same combat style as batman arkham.
witcher 3 are very different i think.
This game is like 70% copy-pasted missions and NPCs, but the majority of all the rest of the missions and stuff to do is fucking fantastic and original.
>>341483437
>one of the bigger towns
What town are you speaking off? Novigrad? It's an open world game, no one forces you to go into a certain direction and there's multiple ways to get into Novigrad.
>>341483109
The enemy cards are just too strong.
They always rank from 5 to 10 and I can't compete.
I keep buying cards, but the ones I buy are still trash.
U wot m8?
Currently replaying on NG+ DM and having a blast and about to finishbthe main quest so I can move on to the expansions. This game is amazing and one of the few games that definitely earned its GOTY title.
Sorry if that makes your butthurt
>>341483627
Crows Perch
Theres multiple different enemy types scattered really close to it that are overleveled and overpowered compared to me. Some are even in the main quests areas and they need to be killed, like the quest with the lubberkin.
>It's an open world game, no one forces you to go into a certain direction
Well what the fucks the point in exploring the map then? Its practically impossible to kill 5+ level 15 bandits on your own at level 4, and thats not even the hardest enemy type around there.
The game should have just had Velen, Novigrad, Skellige and beyond scaled to your level or higher. It makes absolutely no sense to have +10 higher levelled enemies right next to low level areas and low level quests.
>>341482832
Hugely based on parries, it's the kind of game that expects you to combo like 30 hits without being damaged once. More based on timing but the timing is also pretty generous.
I'd get it for ten bucks. Mind you I think Bundlestars is also selling the PC version + DLC for 10 dollars.
>>341483149
In a good way or a bad way, though? Like an example of it implemented poorly would be Amazing Spider-Man 2 where it was just shitty. Batman felt more like Spidey in the Arkham games than Spidey did in his own goddamn game.
>>341481591
>Who is alive
>Who supports you
>Who's present for the end game
Is this a dating game? Who the fuck cares if Djikstra doesn't support you? It's basically just two or three lines of dialogue and it's not like any character is very deep to begin with, nearly every character has some skeletons in their closet and nobody is outright likeable which for some people aparently equals to character developement.
>Whether or not entire communities exist anymore
What do you mean now? Kerack? Downwarren?

>they went out of their way to make it into another ''follow the red spots'' level
>>341483381
fuck those slags, just need me and my daughter.
>>341483381
but you can easily avoid romancing both or heck, even romance them both and in both scenarios you end up ronrey witcha.
>>341485648
yeah, but geralt still automatically says shit in dialogue that makes it clear that he has romatic feelings for one or the other. especially with yen. it's a nitpick, but i'd prefer you could've made those things optional.
>>341486338
Well it's a bit harder to make him your character because you're playing an established protagonist to begin with.
>>341485142
holy shit that monkey island reference was fucking sweet
>>341484549
>>341484383
witcher 3 is not parry based it all about dodge.
you cannot parry against any monster. and with human you can parry only to swordman.
>>341486818
You can parry monsters, Geralt does a quick weave and slash.
You are also dumb as fuck and missed the fact I was talking about Mordor.
>>341486818
>>341487039
Yeah I was asking if Mordors "Batman" combat style was done well in it instead of poorly like ASM2.
>>341487039
geralt will stun when you parry against monster.
i like how the leshen is standing behind you in this cutscene if you choose not to kill it.
>>341459917
WTB MORE SHANI SEX
>>341487402
Wrong.
>>341487578
am pretty sure parry mean defensive stance with sword if you do it while human with sword attack you geralt will automatic tackle with shoulder or kick in the chest. you cannot parry against monster.
>>341486590
true, but they made the decision to let the player decide who they romance so it would logically follow that geralt's own emotions don't directly contradict the player choice.
it's like they added choice because they had to but didn't actually change the narrative to fit to accomodate it.
it's made pretty clear that choosing yen is the only correct choice and you're just fucking yourself over for not doing it.
>>341488376
>>341487578
parrying is holding it down, tapping it right before you get hit performs a counterattack. you can counterattack a lot of monsters.
>>341488376
Again, wrong. If you parry a monster, you do an automatic counterattack.
If an enemy's name lights up while they attack, you can parry the attack.
>>341488878
Dude what are you talking about. Holding it up is just block, block a monster and you get stunned.
These are not like super rare mechanics we have never seen in a game, why are you fucks messing with labels?
Are Nintendo fanboys salty that the new Zelda will never be as good?
>mfw people were saying Zelda has better combat
LMAO
Honestly though, why the fuck are Nintendo fanboys the Apple of gaming?
>>341489087
pretty sure the game calls it parry and counterattack. you knew what i was talking about.
>>341489514
hey guy, no one mentioned anything about that shit.
stop talkin.
Anyone have the picture of Geralt turning Yen down in the Djinn quest?

I recently bought Witcher 3 without previous knowledge of the others. Where the games always so bombarded with sidequest of sidequest? Holy fuck, it doesn't help that almost half of them are boring as fuck.
sometimes i hate how the hair looks in this game
>>341463257
>Witcherfags have got nothing. But muh "fun"
i forgot that this was a board where it's unacceptable that video "games" are merely "fun"
>>341459917
If I find it to be a fun diversion between the multitude of other things there is to do in that game, who are you to judge? If you don't like it, don't fucking play it. If you bought it and had buyer's remorse, next time research the fucking game before you fucking purchase it to see if it to your liking. Fuck, I spent a fucking hour in the game yesterday doing nothing but picking herbs. AND I FUCKING ENJOYED IT. Fuck off
>>341475525

I would like to know what game the trolls in this thread play, because if they think the witcher 3 is shit. they must play some godlike game.
>>341459917
It's all the witcher contracts, that's what witchers do
>>341495190
but most witcher contracts have a neat twist/backstory to them that makes them seem deep and makes you want to investigate further, not simple "FOLLOW THE RED LINE AND KILL THE BIG BAD" thebull94 is making it out ot be
>>341479725
>tfw the courtesan behind geralt turned into a spooky vampire when they were about to have the threesome
It scared me

Lay off the unknown herbs.
>>341498436
You should turn on AA.
The worst part is the fucking treasure hunts where every single question mark on the map has you find a corpse who conveniently carried a diary which says
>Well, today we found out that this cool treasure is right over past the bridge, I'm gonna go get it, the wife said not to because of bandits but what are they gonna do, stab me?
What's with open world games and everyone keeping the most autistic diaries just so you can find their journals for miniquests, it kills my immersion more than anything else for some reason
>>341462093
>They are sidequests. Playing a semantic switcheroo to try and hide it is fanboyism at its worst.
>>341459917

Fisstech, not even once.
>>341491838
1 and 2 are not these massive open world games so they're much more focused, but even they had pretty huge amounts of sidequests
In 1 particularly, at the start of chapters 2 and 3 you'll be loaded with so much shit to do that it feels overwhelming at first
>>341459917
are there any quests in the game that I can fail by progressing too far into the story?
I'm about to depart to Skellige and I read that I could miss out on meetingTrissif I go too early since I'd abandon the quest to meet her. Was I bamboozled?
>>341500850
You pretty much dont have to worry about missing any sidequests until you go to Kaer Morhen at the earliest, and most of them give you more time after that still, just do shit at your own pace
>kill monster by spamming quen
>quen
>not Igni
0/10
>>341459917
honestly even though half of the contracts are exactly this,
a) they suit the game, world and character perfectly, which is better than random bullshit,
b) they're still better than 99% of video game writing, and
c) there are tons of non-contract sidequests that are utterly incredible, like the tyromancy one
