Good one.
3>1>2
sorry sensei
>>341517164
I got about 30 hours into 1 and quit because I can't stand bad combat systems.
>>341517164
Playing through it at the moment. Still at the first settlement. Movement is floaty as fuck and the combat is unconventional but kind of boring, but the characters seem kind of fun so I guess it's decent enough. I hope it gets better further into the game.
>>341519279
activate alternate movement in options
I stopped playing 1 before the patches and enhanced edition, when it had technical problems out the ass.
Never looked back.
>>341520486
Didn't miss a thing because the updates didn't fix shit.
>>341520032
Will do, what does it change exactly?
>>341521029
Addresses the complaints people had about movement being too floaty.
Soulsfags were complaining in the forums so CDPR changed movement and instead of replacing the old system, they added an option in the gameplay menu to opt into the new system. It's called "Alternative".
>>341517164
2 > 1 > 3
fite me.
>>341521029
>>341521318
Also as a note, it doesn't really fix everything, but it certainly is better.
>>341517164
Is 3 that much better than 2? I don't find it that fun.
>>341521489
If you're a thirsty bookfag who wants to meet some book characters then yes it's much better.
If you're a Game of Thrones degenerate who likes political schemes then W2 is probably better for you.
>>341521318
>>341521468
Seems worth a try, thanks.
>>341518103
fucking lol
>>341518274
What the fuck were you doing for 30 hours? I finished it after 22.
>>341521438
Patrician taste anon.
Anyone who rates 2 the worst has shit taste.
>>341521468
>>341521318
>>341520032
Man I just finished chapter 3 and I had no idea. Thanks anon.
Played them all and read all the books. 1 was ok. I don't really like where the plot went or that triss is given a bigger role but the atmosphere was good and the gameplay was decent.
I liked in the old games that alchemy felt like alchemy instead of just refreshing automatically. Why bother collecting plants in 3 at all.
>>341517164
But 1 looks and plays like shit
>>341522056
I'm with you on the Triss shit.
I really don't get why Trissfags were so asshurt about Witcher 3 when they had two games of pure Triss wanking.

I'LL WREK U M8 IF YOU DISAGREE

>>341522345
Can't explain that to fanboys, they'll just call you a graphics whore, before dismissing your logic.
>>341521637
What if I'm just in it for the gameplay?I'm a GoT degenerate but I honestly don't care about the story in The Witcher that much. I never finished 1 or 2 because i got bored. Was gonna try 3 because I can gameshare with my friend who has it on PS4.
3>1=2
>>341522428
It's kind of funny to look back on and realize how hard she tried to act like Yen thinking Geralt would love her.
>>341522620
The game looks great for it's time, play Oblivion or NWN 2 they look way shittier.
was the best looking RPG when it came out and has good artstyle aged well in that department

I still rank Witcher 1 above 2 however. I just find its gameplay to have a certain charm that entertains me, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the animations.
>>341517164
I've not played either of the previous installments.
If they were not sensational enough to rouse me during their release they're likely not worth my time now that they're dated. And my friends (Not you shitheads) telling me the combat is abysmal in both comparatively, and that the story is both droll and uninspiring, is also keeping me away.
Show me some Webms of some of the best moments in the previous ones, if you have any.
>>341524745
Do you not know what the word droll means? Maybe autocorrect got the better of you? Or are you just an idiot that thinks words mean whatever you want them to mean.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8J9HXcOxrs
this portion of TW3 was probably the best vidya experience I ever had.
Shit was tense and mysterious as fuck.

You sound like a huge faggot

Naw, you have shit taste
How do ppl find the combat in witcher 1 fun? You literally just click when the cursor tells you too
>>341526027
watching geralt spin is fun
>>341524745
Sorry, I prefer my combat not in a DDR flavor.
3>2>1
1 is too slow, the gameplay sucks, there are alot of annoying little things that make it tedious and also it's literally Backtracking: The Game. Quests, alchemy and atmosphere is good though.
2 has improved gameplay, looks pretty, branching paths, good characters, sidequests are more fun and rewarding. Story is actually good in this one too, I really dig political intrigue.
3 is a combination of 1 and 2 with an open world twist which makes it superior to the previous entries.
>>341526027
still funnier and more unique than anything in next games
you also actually need to use that prep time to fight monsters
3>2>1
they're all good.
>trying to be a special snowflake by not liking the objective best one
>>341521793
it's an rpg. take a guess
>>341526548
The combat in 1 wasn't very funny to me
>you also actually need to use that prep time to fight monsters
You mean just like in 2?
Bloodborne > Dark Souls > Demons Souls > Dark Souls 3 > Dragons Dogma > Dark Souls II > Lords of the Fallen (((POWER GAP))) > Witcher 3 > Witcher 1 > Shit >>>>>>>>> Witcher 2
>>341526694
>The combat in 1 wasn't very funny to me
so is a combat of next games
1 was just least horrible and most unique, with 3 styles instead of primitive button masher
>You mean just like in 2?
2, the game with dumbed down alchemy system?
2, the game that needed no prep time to take on anything aside from kayran and his poison maybe?
>>341526027
Because it's not about mashing buttons, TW1 combat is more strategic, it's all about using the right elixirs at the right moment, the right weapon for the right enemy, the right combat style, properly use the signs. Prepare for battle. There even is a pause button you are supposed to use as often as you want.
Also there is an isometric view, you can play the whole game with mouse only, they tried to translate that in 3rd person mode.
I think combat is TW1 is dogshit and I prefer the action RPG aproach but I can understand what they were going for and why some people would enjoy it.
>>341517164
Whelp! I guess I'm scum!! LOL. What is OP going to do about it? Cry? lmfao.
>>341527172
>2, the game with dumbed down alchemy system?
Your thinking of 3. 2's alchemy was the same as 1's, save that you could no longer chug potions during combat and actually had to prep.
>2, the game that needed no prep time to take on anything aside from kayran and his poison maybe?
Yeah if you played on easy. Prep was important to Witcher 2
>>341527069
>Lords of the Fallen (((POWER GAP))) > Witcher 3
I'm legitimately offended and upset.
>>341517164
1 = 3 > 2
is my preference desu
>>341526694
>You mean just like in 2?
you fucking serious?
You couldn't drink potions while in combat in w2. You basically had no idea what the fuck you were up against until you were in battle, which made preparing impossible.
>>341527069
>comparing series that have nothing to do with each other
shaking my head desu.
But you're still wrong on your souls series rankings.
no DLC into consideration:
BB=DeS3>DaS=DeS>>>>>>shit>DaS2
>>341521438
Good man.
>>341527636
>You couldn't drink potions while in combat in w2
Exactly, you had to prepare.
>You basically had no idea what the fuck you were up against until you were in battle,
Maybe if your stupid.
>Take contract on Nekkers
>Hurr durr, I wonder what I should prepare for.
>>341517164
i skipped 1was boring as shit
and i left 2 in the middle of the second act
i have almost 400 hours in witcher 3 in my third game+ run on death march.
the fuck you gonna do about it fagot?
>>341527491
>2's alchemy was the same as 1's
then you don't understand shit in w1's alchemy
they took out potion side effects, they took out potion optimization, they took out actual resource management and need in a good alcohol base for actually powerful potions
>Yeah if you played on easy
difficulty levels don't change shit aside form making monsters bullet sponges and adding a few armor pieces, it doesn't magically make prep time as vital as in w1
Are 2 and 3 better controller or keyboard?
Also in TW1 how much should I worry about missing out on quests and shit? I tried playing it a while ago and I remember there was a peasant lady you could fuck that was pretty easy to screw up permanently.
What if I when through TW1 with God mode on? Am I still scum?
>>341528565
Trying to 100% Witcher 1 can be a nightmare for a completionist, more trouble then its worth really. Lots of missible shit and stuff you can miss based on your decisions.
>>341528565
2 maybe, but i cant play 3 with a controller, is fucking horrible.
>>341528201
wow you're so amazing haha +1
>>341527908
>doing the literal fetch quests that were contracts
seriously?
there were like 2 per area
you couldn't predict what you were fighting in side quests or main quest.
>>341528547
Not him, I'm a huge w1 fag but as I played all 3 recently, W2 does indeed have potion side effects.
why doesn't Witcher 1 have achievements? Would actually make me replay it
>>341528880
And yet purists still insist on playing with M+K. I'll never understand. If you can master it, sure, at least using signs is easier.
>>341523663
Isn't Witcher 1 literally a modded Neverwinter Nights engine?
Would you put a baby in an oven?
>>341529334
It runs on Aurora, but plays nothing like anything that was ever on that engine.
>>341529024
No, your pretty dumb if you were really caught off-guard by any monsters in 2. Partially because 2 had a smaller bestiary but still. Also oils could be applied mid combat just l.
>>341529487
oh no you're not fooling me
>>341529171
>muh cheevos
Off yourself.
>>341529547
I wasn't caught off guard, but it bothered me that potions were rendered useless because you couldn't prepare unless it was a contract, and the contracts were pieces of shit on regular monsters like nekkers.
>>341525224
I wish witches were used properly in more games.
The crones were pretty scary.
>>341517164
I thought 1 sucked, it's pretty much unplayable. I'm sure it was great when it came out, but it just felt really dated to me. The only real novelty of it was the porny scenarios/trading cards, which to me isn't enough to stay interested.
>>341518274
This. I got through the first chapter and quit. I'll suffer for Legacy of Kain, not this grimdark eurojank.But I love me some S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
>>341529487
Only if I assumed I was in a magical world with all kinds of bullshit happening to me daily.
As a really big fan of The Witcher series, I must say that every single one of them has its reedeming qualities and offers almost totally different experience.
That being said, I still think I've enjoyed first one the most. I was even participating in creating like two big mods for it. Might be nostalgia googles, since I was just a high school kid, but being the witcher for the first time, after reading all of the books, felt just awesome. I wasn't even mad at all that backtracking in Act 2, since it had absolutely the best quest (investigation) in all of the three games. Now in this normie piece of shit you just turn the witcher senses on and solve every mystery in the matter of minutes, if not seconds. Also your choices felt like they mattered - helping Triss defend the lab, killing the Squirrels in first act, everything.
And how exactly do you affect the ending of third game? By all the """good father""" options in dialogue with Ciri. Wooooooow.
Two is my favourite by far. Best story, the political intrigue and worldbuilding was stellar, Geralt looked his best, Letho was a much better 'villain' than the Wild Hunt as well. I loved that picking either Iorveth or Whoreson yielded entirely different playthroughs too, so great.
Why the hate?
>>341530456
>I read all the books
>I'm surprised that a Witcher game with Ciri revolves entirely upon her for the ending choices
something doesn't smell right here
>>341517164
>tfw bad end
>tfw too lazy to go back and get good end
>>341530852
Just watch it on Youtube.
>>341525224
Gotdamnit. Witcher is probably the very best at taking a realistic medieval setting and incorporating the supernatural in it.
i've seen no other movie/book/show/game come close to what they've done.
>>341530852
>got bad end
>felt insane remorse and guilt
>immediately replayed the entire game to get a better ending
it was ok
>>341525224
What the fuck happened to the one that got away? I've played up until then and i'm waiting to buy all the expansions and start again. Or is that too spoilery?
>>341531335
Its resolved only in thebad end
>>341531335
it's related to one of the endings
>>341523702

>too busy sneezing to choose

Just started the game back up and i'm reloading the save from just before the final fight so I can get a not shit ending.
>>341522740
2's trash. 3's battle system is literally an overall improvement. The only problem I have with 3 is that the pacing for where you fight monsters and bosses is awful, like 2 is very traditional, like Witcher 1, there's a chapter there's a boss at the end of the chapter there's a few story bosses mixed in and every main quest ends with a different monster of the week. 3 is literally all over the place, you go through like 3 chapters with no major story bosses then MGS 1 boss konga all the way through the end game and DLC, the main side quests have your unique monsters but all the other hunting quests just throw pallet swaps by the dozen. And then there's fucking Novigrad chapter, where all you have to look forward to is fighting the same vampire bosses over and over and they're the worst enemy designed enemy type in the game.
That being said, the actual gameplay is infinitely better in 3, 2 is a clunky mess and it's not fun at all. To emphasize this, the coolest monster in that game is the second chapter boss that you have to go through the bar none worst segment of any of these games to fight where you have to go through several battles as a complete scrub character with non of the combat mechanics and you just brute force it until you get it. 1 is a rhythm game take that as you will.
>>341530841
Yeah you're right, I'm sorry for wanting to have an actual impact on the game with my choices. Especially after being literally forced to pick sides in other games of the series.
And no, I'm not suprised. Not after chasing after her for 4/5th of the game. Just dissapointed for the lack of bigger influence on my part to the point I feel no desire of replayability. I've played TW1 three times and TW2 two times for obvious reasons.
>>341531527
>>341531480
Thanks bros i'll play through and see what happens.
>>341532015
Your choices decide the fate of Emhyr and Radovid, as well as the war and Novigrad.
I recently started playing the first game in an attempt to get into this series but Chapter 2 burnt me out.
Does it get any better, or should I just drop it?
>>341517164
>PLAY MUH TERRIBLE OLD GAME
no
>>341532305
Chapter 2 is the low point, if you can tough it out the rest of the game will be cake.
Everyone always complains about the outskirts, but at least thats pretty short.
>>341531960
don't you have to go back further than that to get a good end?
Back before u get to that mist island by boat about 3/4 into the game there are some important dialogue choices you have to make apparently
>>341532305
Yeah, everything after Chapter 2 is solid and reasonably paced. It's just chapter 2 is such a huge drag.
>>341517164
1 == 3 > 2
>>341517164
Good god TW2 is terrible, same with TW1, but thank god that the torrents for the Witcher 3 are great. All DLC included, already cracked as well. Shame the combat is fucking atrocious, but at least the writing and world building is hella good.
>tfw you saved 75 euro
feels good familias
>>341517164
Never played 1 or 2.
1 looks like shit, graphics are barf
>>341517164
I played one after two.
I still like it the least.
Used Bioware's shittiest engine ever and was filled to the brim with tedium.
>>341532674

>>341533006
>piss better than shit
>>341532221
And how that influences the world of the game, exactly? I haven't noticed a single difference to the world after killing Dijkstra and Radovid. You'd think something WOULD change if you can still quest and travel after the "ending" of OC. Are there nilfgaardian forces in Novigrad or Oxenfurt? Shouldn't they be there if they've already won?
>>341533006
this anon knows what's good
Ok, I don't remember how far I got into Witcher 1, but it was roughly 10 hours in, I had fought past some monster in the sewers, got into that city and had to find some gemstones(?). Is this the Chapter 2 everyone is talking about?
I gave up because the main quest kept getting more tedious and every time I finished one task I had to do two more.
>>341533157
Watersports is a patrician fetish.
>>341533301
Yes, the pacing of chapter 2 is terrible and the narrative in uninteresting.
1 had shit combat and just rehashed random elements from the books.
I finally got around to playing 3 and I'm having a really good time so far. The combat is meh but once I got used to it I'm enjoying it. I just finished the Bloody Baron/Ladies of the Woods questline and god damn was that an awesome questline, I understand why people rave about it. So far the only thing I don't like is how easy it is to overlevel.
Did they release the new patch yet? I stopped playing last week when the horse got a bug making his mane and tail disappear, most immersion breaking shit ever.
>>341517164
I am only playing 3, the first two don't need to be played, so fuck em.
>>341533532
The overleveling thing won't change throughout the rest of the game, don't expect any challenging fights
Writing's still top notch though
>mfw alchemy build in 3
This shit is beyond overpowered.
Throw in Euphoria and you start one-shotting everything.
>>341533532
>So far the only thing I don't like is how easy it is to overlevel.
Yeah this is one thing that really sucks about 3. Apparently there is an option for level scaling on NG+ now but I have yet to try it.
>>341533637
Yes they released 1.22 but beware if you're using GOG galaxy client, it starts to redownload the whole DLC for some fucking reason
13 fucking gigs suddenly, the actual patch is 2 gigs or something
>>341533914
Thanks.
>>341533735
I know, I've been playing on the second highest difficulty which helps. I'll eventually turn on that option that makes enemies at least your level. I wish you could turn on the decreased XP thing from Death March and not play Death March. I tried but everything is just a damage sponge.
>>341530852
>got bad end due a misclick
>channel the powers of a great dad, reload a save 5 hours behind and speedrun through that shit in half an hour for best ending
>>341534134
I only played it just after release so I don't know the option to scale enemies to you but it shouldn't matter, right? I rolled with a sign build and as long as enemies weren't 5 levels above me (or whenever they started having skulls) I could just cast Igni at them and never worry about anythinguntil the endgame
>but everything is just a damage sponge
I actually liked that you can't just go slicing into a wolf at the beginning because it won't die immediately so it's not even worth it when you get counterfucked by 3 more wolves
>>341523574
Doing my first playthrough of W1 right now and this is correct. Beat Act 4 in one sitting because I was so into it.
Fuck, I'm willing to admit the main reason I like Witcher 1 is nostalgia. Having sword styles was nice but the rhythm combat was simplistic as fuck. Balance was shot ass. By lategame you could fuck over literally everything on by spamming igni.
That said, it had the best alchemy system and "But that sword is for monsters" is the best scene in the series period. Shit gave me chills.
>>341523574
Act 1 was good, act 2 was shit.
W1 might have the worst combat out of any RPG ever
Gwent> B&W > W2 > W1 > W3 > HoS
>>341533914
Uhh why has that image given me a raging boner. I don't normally care for stills but jeez.
2 is the best in the series
>you'll never again walk into the mines with Yarpen mothefucking Zigrin and the rest of dwarfbros to slay monsters together
why even live?
and to there are still people out there who would pick the Roche's path
>>341517164
>even fucking "playing" the first game
IT'S NOT EVEN A FUCKING GAME, IT'S BAD, DON'T EVEN THINK OF SAYING IT'S GOOD.
>>341534726
Iorveth's path is "OP" if that makes any sense
you get stronger weapons faster and level up insanely fast too
>>341534858
It's a fucking Witcher game, are you really worried about dying past the prolog?
>>341534468
>I only played it just after release so I don't know the option to scale enemies to you but it shouldn't matter, right?
It should help make it a little more challenging. It just level scales everything to at least your level, so say if you're exploring at level 12 every enemy you encounter will at least be level 12.
>>341534726
>Not liking Broache
Both paths are good, no need to fight about it.
>>341535002
it's nice to be able to play the game with your complete build for a while
in Roche's path you only finish your character when fighting the dragon
>>341517164
I agree, one was the best. The gameplay was solid and complex and not wattered down for consoles and casual gamers. Also the ending omg, one the most greatest ending in vidya, but no one fuckin gets it.
>>341535078
I could guess what it means, but my point is that enemy levels (except too high ones) really don't matter once your build really starts taking off at level 10 or so

Oh, my bad. I'm hoping it's enough of a difference to be noticeable, but it probably won't be some major game changer.
>>341517164
Romance cards for gwent when?
>>341517164
I agree anon. writing and story i sbetter in 1.
of course youngfags that lurk here will never play it, prolly only shit on it.
witcher 3 is the best game in recent memory tho, there isn't a single player experience that is better. fact
>>341532514
Just looked it up turns out there's 2 dialogue choices out of the 5 that I fucked up. Fuck everything and I'm not gonna start over and sit through 35 hours of shit just fix those 2 fuck ups.
>>341523574
This seems quite accurate given my poor memory of 1. I'm gonna have to play it again I think. Currently playing W3 again on Death March and not having that many problems. Wondering if the combat of 1 was really that bad. Don't actually remember.

3 is the best in the series, and 1 is a shitty, low budget disaster. Fuck off, contrarian scum.
>>341527069

>>341536341
just play through the game once blind, then play through it again with a guide and find all the shit you missed. The game doesn't uninstall once you beat it.
>>341517164
The combat in 1 is so so so so bad though, makes the game unplayable.

Here's your (you), you can leave now.

>which to me isn't enough to stay interested.
You've probably never bothered to read many books either. Like, any.
Witcher 1 is great, and you obviously have shit taste.
>>341517164
What if I skipped 1 and 2?#feelthebern
I didn't like it in Witcher 2 at the end where it was revealed that the ghost skeletons flying in the sky were actually gas ass fucking elves.
Worst game in the series for me. Don't give a shit if it was already that way in the books

10/10
Best series there is. No single player games top this for me.
>>341537232
I'm kind of at a point in my life where I may never play a 40 hour game more than once
Look up the Combat Overhaul mod for Witcher 1
makes fights fast and brutal. Geralt can die in a few hits, but so can monsters.
Things like Igni being immensely OP weren't changed, I remember laughing at how Geralt could just cook shit alive. Witcher 1 was the only game where Quen wasn't an OP damage shield--it just reduced damage, which imo would've been overall a much better alternative. It also could be upgraded to provide a mild regeneration boost while active which became the intensely OP Active Shield

Man, when I got on the trail of treats I knew I was in some deep shit but holy fuck I never expected them to be so goddamn unnerving and to this day I still don't know what is the best alternative to their questKilling/Sealing their crazy mother and leaving the kids to their fate or unsealing the crazy mother and saving the kids

>still missing
Are Poles retarded?
>>341533901
Started a NG+ for the DLC, with upscaling on Death March. The only challenging fights are against humans that are way above your level. Everything else is easy.Only on Ugly Baby though, so hopefully there will be some challenges to come.

you sound like a weak minded hipster to me. please stop posting here and consider chopping your dick off.
>>341526027
RPG's didn't used to be about the combat. You endured the combat because the role playing elements/story were strong. Action RPG's are the reverse of that
>>341532998
>>341537765
I started playing 2, do they ever stop with the dialog and let me play for more than 2 minutes at a time?
>>341538138
my roach's tail is still missing, too
>now it won't disappear
>but if it's still disappeared then lol i dunno m8 different bug
>>341538260
>I don't like reading
>i don't want to listen to the story
mine as well stop now anon. My guess is you don't read many books, if any. This series isn't for you.
I skipped 1, it was garbage. I even played it when it came out, it was shit back then.
>>341538371
Well this is what I thought, but people seem to praise it so much I wanted to give it a try.
>>341535305
Agreed. Once you've filled out the abilities you want, nothing is a real challenge anymore. Sure, you can make a few different builds, but it doesn't take that many ability-points to flesh it out. (Also, the -100% damage while dodging is just too strong!)
They're all fairly mediocre and uninspired games tbqh
>>341538435
ok
simply another case of
>stop liking what I don't like
>>341521438
Agreed.
The kayran fight is still the best fight in the games. All the fights in 3 were underwhelming.
Anyone who went squirrel is a fucking faglord. Broche for lyfe(anyone who got the tattoo removed is a double faglord).
>>341535404
Enjoy!
>>341538518
tbqh I do not agree.
Politics: 2 > 1 > 3
Enemies: 3 > 2 > 1
Story: 3 > 2 > 1
Combat: 3 > 2 > 1
Atmosphere: 3 > 1 > 2
Faithfulness to Books: 1 > 2 > 3
Characters: 3 > 2 > 1
>>341535805
I do agree, but I would still say all the games have their individual moments. In general the world and the characters make the game.
>>341538561
Not really, I don't care if other people liked it. I found to be slow paced garbage.
>>341538805
Why was this asshole so goddamn creepy, he was being a asshole even in Wine country
>i play games for the story
read a book. witcher games are pure shit, worst gameplay of the year all years
>>341538805
Its best to separate 3's expansions from the main game for things like this, the quality difference in story is too great.
>>341538670
This is you
>>341539010
He's a jew that's why
>>341539065
Story is at least somewhat important in an RPG
>>341538561
After playing witcher 2 and 3, the way W1's Geralt sheathes his swords in an X shape really triggers me.
Wish they'd remake Witcher 1 in REDKit 2 and fix that.
>>341536935
If you're not getting anything from playing the game, then stop playing it. It does have some fantastic moments though. Do realize that Geralt is just one, albeit important, person in this world.
For me the "Witcher Universe" is what draws me to the series. If you like the world, you can tolerate the somewhat lackluster combat (although the alchemy system in 1 was very good and often quite necessary).
>>341539161
dank may may my boi.
thanks for the reply and bump
>>341539161
that fucking facial modelling, shadows and texture on the eye patch
>>341538076
This is what I LOVE about these games. You need to make up your own opinion of what's right and wrong.
Should Jad Karadin live or die?
>>341529487
Since when has an attractive redhead ever steered anyone wrong. Cute accent to boot.
>>341538259
inverse
>>341539947
I killed him. Evidence points to him lying.
>>341539473
The world was sort of interesting but I didn't get very far into things. I just remember fighting plants in some cave and it was sllllloooooow as fuck. Never went back after that because I wasn't hooked yet.
>>341539947
Everything pointed to him being a lying cunt and a slaver on top of that, shit like that doesn't fly with me
>>341539947
I killed him, as well as the other Cat Witcher you find in another quest.
Fuck the Cat School. Shit armor, asshole edgy witchers
The whole drunken party in Kaer Morhen is the real hero in the series
>>341529487
That tension! So little time to decide!I kinda wish something would have gone wrong had you done as Cerys asked. That would have been a real kick in the balls!
>>341540460
Man, Geralt has gotten jewed out of pay for contracts too and he never went full psycho and annihilated the whole village in retribution.
That Cat was the real butcher.
The other guy had sort of turned over a leaf and gotten comfy. Geralt empathizes with wanting to settle down with a waifu and daughterfu. That's why I got Witcher Ciri + cottage with Yen ending.
>>341540840
The Cat was attacked first dont forget. Slaughtering them all might have been too much but the Witcher didnt start it.
>>341540840
b-but... Lambert wanted him dead ;_;
>>341540131
>>341540436
>>341540460
I didn't find his arguments very convincing either, but as >>341540840 points out, there is definately something up for debate there, and that is what sells the series for me. No clear evil/good path, just graywolf.
>>341541508
I hope you mean White you ploughin' whoreson
>>341540840
>we will never play a game based around the beginning of the witcher era with different schools and techniques and meeting other witchers in their prime
just fucking kill me now senpai
I love the bugs

What a pretentious faggot.
>>341540460
>take on a contract
>complete contract
>come for payment
>get almost murdered by the village because muh orens
>go full cat lives matter on village
I fail to see how cat is at fault here.
>>341541593
Well, for me Geralt has always been sort of a "gray" character, but that might just be me.I'll go plough myself now, thanks for a good Witcher thread!
I bought the boxset for the first game.
Still see no reason to play past the first hour, does it get worse? Cause if it gets any better I'm about to forget it.
>>341537817
I'm totally with you. I feel bad enough dedicating 50 hours to one game. Once it's over, it's over. I could never see myself wasting so much time playing it again for the tiny bit of differences you get.
>>341542637
>proceed to murder the entire village when only a handful of them attacked him inside a fucking barn
yeah i don't see how he could be at fault
>>341542837
Wait, you only want to play it if it gets worse? Chapter 2 is the worst part of the game, worse then 1, but after that it finally get good in 3.
>>341538518
Lmao. You say uninspired when it's literally inspired by a book.
>>341542890
I'm generally not willing to replay games that lean on their story. On the other hand I can drop 100s of hours on games that are just 100% gameplay.
>>341525224
>>341530987
finally showed Witcher to a friend of mine, he just stood there in awe listening to the soundtrack and checking the amount of detail put in the game.
>>341542957
Morals are for suckers.
>>341542957
he left a girl alive faggot, stop lying. Sometimes heads just roll.
>>341543895
yeah he left a girl alive in the middle of nowhere with no one to watch over her in a village that he knew would be overcome with necrophages
might as well have killed her.
>tfw you meet the Lady of the Lake, Hermit, and Fisher King again in Blood and Wine
I wonder if she still thinks about Geralt
any of you here read the books? were they worth it?
Who's your witcherfu /v/?
>Dat accent
But Witcher 1, Chapter 2 had the goddamn Wolfman!
That guy was great.
>>341544476
Iris
>>341544032
you've convinced me. he should have just risked his life to save the village and then came back just to die like a dog to some pitchfork wielding nobodies because one person is less than a dozen people. wow, 13 year olds really do know everything.
>>341544476
Shani's good. Cerys is good.Ciri might be best
>>341544476
Probably Essi Daven. Yen from the games.
>tfw Chapter 2 swamps
>>341544441
The short stories are good. Saga starts out ok but is pretty shit by the end.
>>341544476
Keira a best 2bh.
>>341544662
No, he should have killed those who tried to murder him and cheat him, and leave the rest of the villagers alone to mourn their deaths and bury the bodies, you retard.
>>341517164
Actually, I have only played Witcher 1 from start to finish.
I've played Witcher 2 for like 10 hours and I havent touched 3 yet
>>341544476
Nilfgaard has the best girls.
>>341544441
I really enjoyed them. I find his story telling engaging and the plots are usually pretty interesting.

Best part of the game if not from all games
