>people still cares about this meme game
Seeing as this is witcher 3 we aren't going to be able to fuck any are we? And if we can it'll be copy pasted sex scenes from 2.
>>335331131
I guess you never played HoS.
>>335331370

Playing hearts of stone right now and there's something I missed I think. Why exactly do I need to do those 3 tasks for metrosexual guy? Am I supposed to be confused about the nature of their deal?
>>335330057
>girl on right
so does she have a feminine penis or what?
>>335331673
>Why exactly do I need to do those 3 tasks for metrosexual guy?
O'Dimm did you a favour by saving you from the Ofieri, so now you have to scratch his back. You have to do those three tasks for Olgierd because it's the only way to retrieve his immortality.
I've been thinking of replaying w3 but it seems more appealing to play normally and not use newgame+ so I get to collect all the stuff and have all the content.
How do other people feel about replay options?
>>335331673
Yes, you'll get more details on it as you go along. And I suppose you need to do it to be rid of your debt and the huge ass mark on your face.
>>335333235
Since I still go back to my original run and manage to find new stuff, and with the expansion right around the corner, I imagine it will be a while before I actually attempt to replay it. But not really sure how, I actually think I might not go with NG+ simply because it seems a bit boring to have all your awesome equipment and with little to work towards.

I'll tell you the deep dark secret to enjoying Witcher 3. I don't blame you, I only finished it for the first time about a month ago since I got turned off by it too.
The secret is........ Completely ignore question marks on the map, only do side quests if they sound fun/they haven't gone gray and you want XP (It seems like if they go gray you get absolutely fucking no XP, which is also a moot point because you get about 70% of your total XP from the main story anyway), follow the main story, and look up spoilers on the locations of whatever witcher gear set diagrams you want since those are the best anyway.
There you go. Open world was a mistake.
>>335337492
Can't say I blame him. Just finished Witcher 3 before Dark Souls 3, and after running through DS3 I'm getting Witcher urges again. Loaded up 2 since I feel like I should give it a fair shake since I mostly ignored it, plus I'm trying to keep my testes heavy for when Blood and Wine hits so I can pick up the season pass and then play both DLCs in one go.Sucks though. Nothing else is really scratching the itch. Getting game ennui. Hopefully Stellaris will help.
>>335336973

>>335338230
Yes I have, these definitely look like males. If this was a Bioware game then I'd be inclined to say that they were females.
>>335338370
you should actually go out more
>>335338314
Kill all of them. History will remember Radovid fondly as the one who got rid of supernatural bullshit and left the world for humanity, where even a king is just a man and can be killed in an alley.
>>335338345
I had some of that too anon, but you don't have to see EVERYTHING in one playthrough. Even if you don't normally replay games you may change your mind with Witcher 3, and since there's so goddamn much optional content you could see large swaths of new sidequests if you ever replayed.
>>335338473

NG+ is too easy. After a while you outlevel pretty much everything. When I got to Skellige most, if not all, quests were grey. NG is more fun because you get to level your character and find better gear and upgrades.

>the west blunders at making beautiful fictional women yet again
When all they have for inspiration in their immediate environment is western women, its no wonder all these women in the game all have masculine jawlines :^)
when is it coming out
>>335342926
having small jaw simply means more teeth related health issues and difficulty eating
strong jaw is evolutionarily beneficial
>>335342984
5-6 weeks from now
>>335342385
Too genetically impure now. Thanks race mixing.
>>335342327
Slav women tend to have a stronger defined jawline. This is nothing new.
>>335330057
I love the faces in this game. They make you want to know more about those characters. Not like in Bethesda games where faces look like wet buns that someone kicked around.
>>335330150
No way
>>335343139
w3 has best faces in gaming, its one of the main reasons for its succes
despite many npc lacking face variety
>>335343134
>Slav women tend to have a stronger defined jawline.
I will need a source on that because im pretty sure you pulled this information out your ass

>>335343842
>talks about private lessons with Geralt
>turns out she was talking about actual lessons and not sex
I'm afraid playing all three games in a row was a mistake since I expected Geralt to have as many opportunities to fuck around as he did in the first two.

no one could believe it
it mustve been cut due to time limitations
>>335343932

yeah, you mean like every body should look like cave men with hairy body, more cold resistance in winter huh.

>>335343885
Dude, it's the best video game minigame ever made.
>>335344146
This is a fact
>>335344262
bracers exist solely due to our jaws being too small to facilitate our teeth that are as big as they used to be 30k years ago
will it work like the first expansion where a chunk of the map extends?

Same.
The only good video game card game is triple triad.
>>335344342
Its a whole new region
>>335330057
did eyeshadow exist in medival times? cause they look like sluts
>>335343885
Same, I just couldn't enjoy Gwent, and I really, really tried to. Probably because I'm terrible at card games. Except for UNO. I fucking wreck shit in UNO.
i heard these games suck and are full of fetch quests, like in mmos, and the main story is dull
will western rpgs ever catch up to jrpgs? goddamn
>>335344327
I know it's wrong considering I played as Geralt, her favorite father-figure, but I still want to cuddle with her, marry her and have magical babies with her.
Fuck you CDPR for making such a great waifu.Can you imagine what it must be like to have someone as intimidating as Geralt as your father-in-law? Or someone as bitchy as Yennefer as your mother-in-law
>>335344456
How are you that stupid?
>>335344783
From the moment I first heard ciris Va I disliked the character, made it a pain going trough some parts of the game.
Also shes lesbian so.
>>335344704
>i heard
Did you try playing the game?
The sidequests are actually pretty interesting from time to time and have a logical story to them - like finding a foreign noblewoman's son who went out to prove his value, only to die a deserter to a beast that he couldn't beat.
>>335344783
If you piss off Ciri, you're probably going to get teleported straight to a world with White Frost.
>>335344886
>lesbian
She's bisexual.
>>335344886
>also she's lesbian
She was literally raped by her friend.
Pretty sure she's bi.
Also, you can almost make sex happen with that lad who helped her in Skellige.
>>335339278
yeah wtf, did some switch her name for keira or someone else
>>335344970
>>335344916
one time she canonically had sex was with a girl
Almost having sex with some stereotypical nice guy doesnt count.
>>335344916
>If you piss off Ciri, you're probably going to get teleported straight to a world with White Frost.
Ciri wouldn't do something like that. She's a good person at heart despite having a few rough edges. She legitimately goes out to thank the people that helped her. She wouldn't kill someone she loved at some point out of anger.
>>335345076
Actually, canonically Ciri rides off into the sunset with a knight named Galahad who she helped when he got lost in the mists of Avalon looking for the Holy Grail.
>>335343885
>>335344553
I imagine it's a lot harder if you never bothered trying to get cards.
Like I remember getting absolutely wrecked by some nilf in the royal palace because I didn't buy any cards when I could have, and I hated it. Then I got some cards and it became a whole lot more fun, although by the end your deck becomes so powerful that you'll only really get a challenge if you get a really shit hand.
>>335344783
>as intimidating as Geralt as your father-in-law? Or someone as bitchy as Yennefer as your mother-in-law
I now want to see a scene to play out of some random dude or girl cause this is Ciri we are talking about getting taken to meet her adopted parents who are alpha as fuck.
>>335345287
I'm pretty sure the generic players skilled up with you, because by the end I was going neck and neck with almost only hero cards with fucking no-name blacksmiths.
>>335345287
This.
The female blacksmith in crow's perch was also hard as fuck for me to defeat, I lost like 5 or 6 times. But after I got a few more cards, gwent stopped being challenging and was just a gotta catch'em all kinda deal.
Still, to me, it's the best minigame in any videogame.
>>335345076
She gets her tits sucked on by some 30 year old guy and likes it. She gets wet and wants to fuck Galahad at the end of the books. She's bi, though I am not going to count what happened with Auberon.
>>335345287
>>335345489
>>335345492
Did they like patch it at some point?
At one point I would often get most of my spy deck out all at once like pic related, so I could easily shit all over my opponent. But when replaying it recently, I feel like I never managed to draw that many, so I'm wondering if they altered that or something. But it makes it a bit more challenging, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
>>335345702
I had to stop using my northen kingdoms deck, because it was just too easy, with all the spies.
I don't know about any patches, I haven't played w3 since HoS released.
>>335345702
Yep, that's pretty much every game ever of gwent I've had. Bar the scoiatel and monster opponents, of course. But even then with avallach, decoys, and revivals they can shit out four spies.
>>335345469
I'm sure Geralt would be pretty chill considering he can be a little autistic at times.
G: Is this really necessary? You know I hate doublets.
Y: Now now, Geralt. I know you'll persevere. Besides, first impressions are everything.
G: Huh, that's them there.
Y: Look at him - standing around like a moron. I have no idea what Ciri sees in him
G: Go easy on him, Yen. Remember, first appearances?
>>335345702
They did add difficulty sliders to it. Although if they really wanted it to be harder they should put a limit on number of hero cards you can have in your deck, and nerf the Geralt and Ciri cards
So I just replayed TW3 and realized your choices barely mattered at all, I don't know if im imagining things but it felt like TW2 had a more complex story branch-system
The game would have been so much better if the dialogue was more interactive, like more choices more often. It kind of sucks cause i enjoy the game in general but now it feels like it lacks a certain depth I thought it had previously. Are there any games besides tell-tale stuff that does this well?
>it's a "virgins talking about face structures" episode
>>335345903
Until Dawn might be the GOAT when it comes to choices but it's only on the ps4.
>>335345903
Barely any choices in a telltale game matter.
>>335345903
TW2 did have more complex branching because you could have two entirely different areas to quest in the third(or second?) act
>>335345903
TW2 didn't really have that many that mattered either, but it's easier to pull off with a more linear title. I guess it also really depends on what you expected or how you define your choices "mattering". CDPR never really went out of their way to say "everything you do will have huge consequences bla bla", plus it's also a bit unreasonable to expect with an open world game.

Eredin is a master of cucking. Cucked Ciri out of a happy life, Geralt from Yennefer for a good few years and then his own dad from ruling a kingdom.
What an asshole.
>>335346315
I like how they kept up the running joke that anyone who attempts to have sex with Ciri dies a horrible fucking death.
>>335330181

Planning to start again soon before the xpack, going to do a full clocked playthrough on Death March.
What difficulty is good for Gwent? I regret skipping it on my first playthrough.
If I jacked the difficulty right up, would I have a hard time with RNG or bullshit opponents, especially if I didn't main Northern Kingdoms? Plan to main Skellige deck when it's out.

I haven't played since my first playthrough, not sure if I still have my saves
Can you start the DLCs with a new Geralt who is of appropriate level?
Also, does Heart of Stone have a lot of enemies who are almost immune to signs? That really fucked me up towards the end of the main story
>>335345903
No game does
>>335345983
No matter who dies, they cannot die till they fulfill a role in the story. Matt and Sam I believe their names were, cannot die till the last chapter. No matter what happens.
So yeah people die, but they only die when their role is to add nothing in any further scene that happens.
When you save someone one playthrough, and kill them off early the next, nothing will change.
>>335348250

No but we see her briefly at the end of the third game.
>>335348678
I personally think the design is fun.
I'm playing TW3 now, I sent Triss away to Kovir and I now sort of regret it
She truly did love me
But I thought I was supposed to be with the new girl (who isn't new at all) so I pretended to be ice cold

same bro, it seemed like a piece of shit game all about making your deck and not actually having any real gameplay
I maybe would've bothered if it was played in 3D space on the table with some commentary and atmoshpere and shit, but cba with fullscreen minigame...
>>335348763
Fun? How?
this game was really good, but it kind of got overwhelming around skellige with all the shit to do
I'll probably pick it back up when the dlc hits and I'm done with DS3
Are there any games which have sidequests better than TW3?
I honestly don't think I've played one.

>Can you start the DLCs with a new Geralt who is of appropriate level?

It wasn't just the bosses, towards the max level was also where golems and gargoyles started to show up

I hated monster decks at first, but it's indeed pretty great when you can lure them into blowing their load early or cucking them with frost or scorched earth.
They're still an absolute pain in the ass though if you don't get those cards.
>>335345702
I know what you mean, they must've altered the first draw algorithm so you don't get all the spies in a row.
Now I get ALWAYS 3 support card, whether it is a command horn, a decoy or a frost, 5 regulars and the rest are heroes. If you're lucky you get 2 spies.
>>335349450
why does she look exactly like Avallac'h
>>335348821
I don't think so. The weakest are probably the monster contracts, but even those can be comfy if you just save them for when you're in the mood for slaying some monsters.
what's HoS like? is it still pointless open world like the main game?
are there new armor sets?
>>335349528
O'Dimm is the one that made him "heartless" though.
>>335349238
I let Satan do his shit and then leave without hazzle. I took no reward from Satan.

>>335349318
Wait - is this from a mod? From one of the expansions? I've played through the whole vanilla game and I'm pretty sure I'd remember coming across this face.
>>335349672
Shani was such a cutie.
>>335348936
For Gargoyles and Golems, just Yrden them. With sufficient Sign Power, you stop them entirely.
Played TW3 when it came out, how many expansion packs have there been since? When's the next one out?
WHERE IS IT I THOUGHT IT WAS SLATED FOR Q1
>>335349213
Looks like she has had her heart ripped out. I ditched Triss just so I didn't need to see that face.
>>335349674
Yes there are new armor sets but they kind of suck besides the God Tier glasses and it's more focused then the main game.
This is literally the best witcher thread in ages. No waifu fags waging war, no shitposting about muh souls or skyrim or anything like that. What the fuck is going on?
>>335349742

soon, maybe two months away
>>335349674
HoS is great, it has some new open world locations but it's mostly story driven and the story is damn good. There are two new armor sets if I'm not wrong.
>>335349742
1, the next one is is June.
Hearts of Stone was really good but didn't really add a huge amount of content.
>>335349742
Just one for now, Hearts of Stone.
The next one, Blood and Wine, is supposedly out in June. We'll know more soon.
>>335349672

>>335349674

Next one is supposedly out next month
Current DLC takes about 15 hours to complete
>>335349738
The problem isn't that they're hard or anything, they're just annoying because every other sign is ineffective and I had 0 points put into swords
My point was that i had to use the decoction to be able to kill them in less than 30 hits
Also, IIRC using Yrden on gargoyles makes wonky stuff happen if they do their flying up attack
>>335349793
>the best armour in the game kinda sucks
lol
>>335349674
Define "pointless". But it's really good, better than the base game with a more tight story, better characters and bosses, good side quests etc. etc. And yep, new armor and weapons. Don't fall for the Oferi's Jewry though, that is a giant waste of money.
Well, /v/?
>inb4 not 2
>>335349869
Viper would be top tier if it wasn't for the blue part plus if I remember correctly it's worse than the other witcher gear.
>>335349816

There's like 10 hours more content, and that's not counting all the new areas.
>>335349863

>>335349793
Great, the open world in W3 was stupid
>>335349870
>Define "pointless".
Sure. It ties together with the loot and side quest system
The sidequests are obviously fucking awesome but they can be activated in town (from quest boards or from NPCs)
All the actual interesting locations are involved in quests, and they are usually even inactive before that so you just have an empty building or something
The loot is just completely stupid, everything but alcohol and witcher gear is vendor trash, which means you have absolutely no reason to clear all the bandit camps or THOSE FUCKING SMUGGLER CACHES FUCK
Basically, I'm not enough of an immersionfag to go "wow it's like i'm really exploring woods that have absolutely nothing good in them"
>>335349803
About the new open world locations, I wish they had made you explore more of that. A lot of it is actually pretty great, and I feel like most people didn't really bother with exploring.
Like try going to the Deadwight Wood in the far east of the map. At no but do you have to go there, but it's very creepy with tons of ambience and a lot of neat detail.

Well they are the two romance paths for the third game and one is literally a main character in the books while the other is a main character for the first two games and both are for the third game. It's not like there isn't a reason why they get discussed.
>>335340286
Fuck I can't unsee it. I guess it's not an edit and these really are crossdressers. I don't mind long as they don't make a big thing out of it as in mass effect and dragon age.
>>335349964
Minmaxing into broken builds makes my dick hard so I had a build with the maximum possible sign intensity
To my mind, using the decoction was a better shortcut than dropping my sign intensity by respeccing

It would definitely consist of some top tier banter.
>>335350132
>All the actual interesting locations are involved in quests, and they are usually even inactive before that so you just have an empty building or something
See, I thought that too, until I started exploring.
There's a bunch of quests just randomly in the wilderness. They're not groundbreaking like the sidequests, but they do make the world feel alive
I will not defend the POI in the water though, as someone who did them all, they are fucking retarded.
Most locations on the map, however, where you can see a tiny little building have something going on in them. Almost always I should say.
I wouldn't call the open world aspect "pointless" because the loot system is fucking shit
>>335350132
I agree that a lot of the loot can be pretty stupid like the smuggler caches, but I literally did like two of them and then just started ignoring them entirely, so it's not like they taint the experience.
Still, I would recommend every now and then to try explore off the main road. Even if you're not going to get amazing loot, you'll still fall over some quests you wouldn't find anywhere else, or at the least just some very cool locales with a lot of detail.

Are they going to at least keep releasing new DLC for it?
The Witcher series is one I'd preorder instantly.

>>335349737

Pretty much yeah
>>335350646
>Triss without the appearance modifying charms
>>335350606
They said it is the last GERALT game.
We might get another Witcher game in the future. Probably not in the scope of this last one since this one had 2 games to build up hype.
I'd be content with a make-your-own-witcher game and then just randomly do monster contracts. The focus should be the amount of monsters you get, and making the combat not as brain-dead simple as in 3
>>335330057
Those are boys.
The lady in the back is a lady though.
>>335350606
They said this is going to be the end of Geralt's story, not the Witcher series. Unless they've did a new interview/statement or something. This expansion is the last one for Witcher 3. I imagine we'll see a new Witcher game after Cyberpunk 2077 releases, which is still a long time from now.
>>335350406
>Thinking USA has a chance unless Trump is elected
Have fun being minority in your own country. People create countries and ideals, when you are becoming more and more Mexican, you end up with Mexican country. That's why diverse neighborhoods are so shitty
>>335350673
It's the last Witcher game for a while because they're tired of fantasy and gonna do Cyberpunk and an unannounced action game this year.
I want a spinoff game featuring Eskel
>Get Drunk
>Wake up on a ship bound for Zerrikania
>Have no pants
>Monster hunting Hijinx and chicks with horns ensue
unless CDred backpedal, Blood & Wine is the last Witcher IP for awhile. They've moved on to Cyberpunk.
that said I think cdproject are planning a small game to fill in the long, long window between now and Cyberpunk's earliest potential release. They might just make a standalone expanded Gwent game since people were shitting themselves so much over playing it in-game.
>>335350639
Shani is probably the most sanest and has the least issues out of all the women in Geralt's life. I mean if you get with her in Witcher 1 they literally break up because their paths are too different and they break up amicably.
Speaking of which, does Shani say anything in Hearts of Stone if you chose her over Triss in Witcher 1?
>>335350673
>>335350676
>>335350719
Honestly curious on who we will play. Maybe one of the Witchers of the School of the Viper that Letho mentioned or Eskel (since he has left Kaer Mohren)?
>>335350448
>>335350440
I guess I was a little inaccurate about the quests there
What I did was to simply ride across the entire map to reveal it all, and the few sidequests that actually were out in the world simply showed up as question marks
I obviously ignored all the bandit and smuggler cache locations as well, but that still means there's a giant open world that just has nothing in it
>Most locations on the map, however, where you can see a tiny little building have something going on in them. Almost always I should say.
And what is going on there? It's very possible I actually missed the few locations that had something not quest-related going on but I actually doubt they put anything scripted somewhere that isn't involved in a quest
Just for reference, the main game that did open world right for me is Gothic 2. You don't have a giant expanse of nothing or points of interest, you have a handcrafted world where you stumble over interestling locations every 5 steps
>>335350719
But it would get boring pretty fast if all you did was hunt monsters. I doubt they'd even do something like that and I don't see why they wouldn't do something big like Witcher 3 again. They made a nice profit and Cyberpunk 2077 is already confirmed to be bigger than Witcher 3.
>>335350469
I don't like reading literature much. I've tried but it's not my cuppa. She's nice in The Witcher, so I see her like she is in te games
>>335350802
Literally nothing imports from the Witcher 1.
>>335350802
>Honestly curious on who we will play. Maybe one of the Witchers of the School of the Viper that Letho mentioned or Eskel (since he has left Kaer Mohren)?
Maybe AS Letho himself, when he was taking care of Yen while TW1 was transpiring.
It would culminate when you plan and execute the murder of Foltest. That'd be sweet IMO
>>335350863
What about Thaler? Like I remember in Witcher 1 there was a choice to let him die but since I let him live it was a pleasant surprise to see him on the road in Witcher 3.
>>335350802
I'd like a full game with Ciri, but it would be too obvious and she's just too powerful.

>>335350827
>It's very possible I actually missed the few locations that had something not quest-related going on but I actually doubt they put anything scripted somewhere that isn't involved in a quest
Off the top of my head, there's one Leshen quest that happens when you visit a hut in the middle of nowhere-Skellige, unrelated to the monster contracts. Mind you, QUEST, it's not like you just find a leshen chilling in a hut or something.
I know there are more, but I have honestly forgotten. Last I played the game was 3 months ago.
>I obviously ignored all the bandit and smuggler cache locations as well, but that still means there's a giant open world that just has nothing in it
That's a bit exaggerated. Some of the bandit camps were fun to get through, like the ones with actual fortresses being guard by them. There's no reason to do them ALL, but I really hate when people say "oh it's just copy pasted content" when I'd be hard pressed to find a single one (that isn't a water POI) that is similar to another.
>>335351135
Wasn't it rumored that the dudes doing a science experiment on geralt in W2 made him fertile?
>>335351051

TW3 was mostly carried by Geralt&Friends. You can't just set up another game as big as TW3 with a brand new character cast and expect people to like it. Seems waaay too risky for me.
>>335351260
I see triss had the zika virus when pregnant
>>335351162
>there's one Leshen quest that happens when you visit a hut in the middle of nowhere-Skellige
is that the one where you have to decide between siding with the villager who wants to kill it or the one who wants to keep making sacrifices to it? If so, that's a quest that's marked on the map (otherwise i wouldn't have found it)
>bandit camps
But after level 10 or so you just waltz through them, I fail to see how "okay this time I have to go up a ladder to kill the archers in 1 hit" is interesting
>>335351221
then there's still the problem of sorceresses being infertile as well
I really hope there'll be some references to Geralt's old squad or people mentioning them, considering the last time Geralt was in Toussaint.Cahir ;_;

>>335351029
Neither one of them can breed, delete this shit.
>>335351246

They'll figure it out
You're all ignoring the most glaring error there: It's worst girl instead of Yen
>>335351268
A lot of people didn't even play previous Witcher games before 3. I wouldn't say it's too risky, especially when they're now know for the popular Witcher series. Even if the game would turn out to be meh (which I doubt), the hype alone would make people pre-order it.
>>335351448

I'm pretty sure in one of the books it's mentioned that stopping the aging process is really damn easy for mages

Nope, it's here (black circle) I believe. The Red circle is the one you mentioned.
>But after level 10 or so you just waltz through them, I fail to see how "okay this time I have to go up a ladder to kill the archers in 1 hit" is interesting
I never managed to one hit kill anything in the game, and on the last diff, 3 stray hits will annihilate you.
Then again, i never played with heavy armor on NG, and NG+ seems unbalanced as fuck since I was still getting 3 shotted by everyone, especially in HoS.
>>335351551
No
>>335351571
Ciri doesn't have access to normal mage powers. She just has her time and space powers. She cut off access to her other powers but the ageing is stopped through a potion that's a tightly kept secret but that wouldn't stop Yen from securing some for Ciri.
>>335351671
They're not immortal, but they can certainly live longer with no problem.
Some of the older mages are easily hundreds of years old.
>>335351260

>>335351707
That's still way too much area for way too little points of interest (actual POI that is, not the game labeling a vendor trash chest as POI)

>>335351403
its okay anon geralt will die horrifically somewhere when he gets dragged of into some situation he didn't really want to be in or a simple contract suddenly becomes more thanks to his ability to be in the right place at the wrong time.

You could give her back her magic in a story without a problem though, it's not like the god of magic cut her off
She just gave herself a mental blockade, basically

>>335352014
Apart from the fact that its pure torture and 90% of the kids who do it die?
>>335352014
There's barely any monsters left in the books
>>335351113
>nothing imports about him for the third game
he is mentioned in HoS
Is this a standalone expansion, or does it require you own the base game?
>>335352014
much that once was is lost; for none now live who remember it
you might have noticed some _slight_ themes about witchers passing out of the world because they're not needed anymore
>>335352014
The vast majority of the witchers were killed off, and they didn't have anyone left who knew how to do the trials properly. Like Vesemir was just a fencing instructor.
As for demand, they were going out of fashion with people finding other ways to deal with them, especially since monsters were becoming more rare.
>>335352091
To be fair he was a source that barely had any training/help compared to all the training/help given to Ciri in the books.
>>335352014
Mankind is getting established enough to send 10 soldiers/a knight to kill a monster. Witchers were more of a thing in the past where isolated human settlements had to fend off monsters.
Hell even the School of the Wolf agrees that their time is coming to an end.
>>335349696
Not exactly. O'Dim do their wishes, but part of it is that you shouldn't do it in first place. It is like yelling "FUCK ME UP MANG". Seriously, he sold his soul.
O'Dim isn't that bad for people that know to don't get into his games. Really, he doesn't treat Geralt like shit. Only thing that is bad is when he kill that guy with spoon. He even can help you with Ciri choices, if you ask him, as a reward for help.
TL;RD - O'Dim fuck up people that sold their soul to him (and probably sometimes those who annoy him, as spoon guy), but other then that, he is fair guy.
>>335352173
You have to own the game.
>>335351571
>Ciri is a fucking source
yeah, and all sources before her died of old age or were killed
her grandmother was like that and died of old age if i remember right
>>335352173
I'm assuming the latter but I do not know
I'd like to know why that matters for you. What reason do you have for wanting to buy just the expansion of a heavily story-driven RPG?
>>335352195
>>335352184
Witchers use Saltpeter bombs, and other characters use similar things. The Witcher universe is only 20-30 years away from its first Firearms entering the scene. In all likelihood, the Nilfgaardians already have them in some form, but are keeping them secret for a rainy day.
Witchers are obsolete, and Silver Swords are on the brink of being replaced by Silver Bullets.
>>335351976
from the newest book
>invented the mandrake decoction, an elixir that was used by wizards to prevent ageing.
>The elixir prevented aging but it did not rejuvenate.
>>335352368
By newest, do you mean the one that Sapkowski shat out after the games became popular?
Is that worth a read?
>>335352286
Her grandma killed herself after Cintra lost to Nilfgaard.
>>335344146
This
>>335352442
oh right not her, well someone down the generational line i can't remember now
Speaking of sources, can just anyone become a mage? I never quite figured that out, having read the books
On one hand, they discover Ciri is a source and are immediately like "fuck, we HAVE to train her"
On the other hand, Geralt mentions in Last Wish that most sorceresses are just former princesses who got thrown out because they were ugly
>>335352441
Yes and I don't know. It's the worst book in the series and is literally pointless. It's not bad but it's not up to par to the first two books or even to the rest of the saga. I would give it a 6/10.
>>335352441
It is worth reading, not amazing or anything, but still good. People shit at it because Sapkowski wrote it after games. Other then that, it is good.
>>335352302
Because if it doesn't require the base game, that means there is minimal carry over of game progess from the base game, which would suck.
>>335352441
Not really.
Sapkowski was throwing a tantrum about games being non canon but somehow magically Geralt now carries 2 swords with him.
Maybe if you are really bored.
>>335352441
yeah it's not bad, specially not bad if we cut out the part where Geralt goes on avenging rampage for a few peasants, but that's what he did in previous books so whatever
>>335352265
I think you're giving him too much credit - he can choose to be charming right up until the moment he's not. He'll gladly take Geralt's soul once he confronts him as well. Also just consider his tone most of the time, he's clearly a sadist. This is a demon who's lived for thousands of years, and uses his time by getting off on tormenting people.
>anything but Wolf Armour
>>335346209
Scream like Zach Braff
>>335330057
>>335336973
This has to be a practical joke. It's really subtle, though.
>>335352014
well its kills most boys who do it or leaves them so crippled you might aswell kill them as they'll die anyway
creating witchers is a very old technique that has been virtually forgotten thanks to themselves dying and those with the knowledge also dying
witchers are an out of date means of dealing with the harshness of the world back when mankind wasnt as prevalent or advanced witchers were the best means despite the horrific cost it has, now its much easier to simply send a squad of well trained men in plate to simply pour concrete into a nest or blow the area up than pays the expenses and find a witcher
the world is moving on much like our world humans are everywhere and species have been made extinct monster only exist in the ass ends of the world at least the parts where we see in game and the books
the only time a witcher now might be used if you could even find one is for things like ancient demons powerful vampires basically creatures that normal men could not handle with technology
>>335352561
That's not necesarily true though, it really doesn't matter if you read the save form a new game or inside the same game
Just look at Mass Effect 3, it imported all the choices from previous games to give you a plethora of 5 point war assets and emails!
>>335347024
those goat duds tho
I still find it confusing how CDPR managed to make Gaunter O'Dimm one of the best and most intimidating and terrifying villains ever yet still have that aura of professionalism and courtesy whilst completely failing to make spookyskeletal elf spooky.
>>335352624
did you notice that metal handguard in first screenshot? Looks like new armor, and i like a bit more metal.
>>335352545
Pretty sure everyone can potentially become one, if they do it from an early age. Although some have more potential than others.
>>335344262
Have you ever bothered looking at jap women's teeth anon? double and snaggleteeth are really fucking common there because they all have such tiny jawlines.
>>335352361
Now that would actually be an interesting conflict but it wouldn't really fit the Witcher universe anymore
I wanna see how useful firearms are if mages can just straight-up curse people or call down the apocalypse on the battlefield
>>335352545
I think I remember Yen mentioning how anyone can learn signs though hard work in Blood of Elves but not higher magic.
>>335352707
Or curses I suppose. I always love the quests that deal with lifting curses.
>>335352808
well, firearms exist since mongol empire but it only clicked properly in 17-18th century
>>335352762
odimm was made after cdpr learned several lessons from making the main game
they knew the skeleton elf didnt get enough attention but it was too late to change that so they did the expansion better
>>335351390RIP Milva and Regis
>>335352936
Yeah, that's why it's interesting to see what the development would be like in that world
I mean, even modern technology and tactics would be interesting against Witcher universe magic
>>335352808
That depends. Could a mage stop a bullet if they're caught by surprise? If anything, Firearms would be a massive check on Mages, it would allow a footman to kill a Mage before that mage could react.
>>335352863
Signs are very, very simple magic. One of wizard in orginal series mentions that wizard play with all this "blood of virgin" and other shit so simple people don't fuck into magic, if they have some kind of power inside themselves.
He mostly mean simple fortune tellers and other people that truly may have potential, but wizards want to keep magic as elite as it can be.
>>335352707
Geralt even rambles for like a page about how useless he has become and him getting over trying to be a Witcher is a plot point in the books. The age of the Witcher is over as civilization has become more advanced. Something ends and something begins.
>>335352762
Even if they did screw up with Eredin and all the wild hunt nonsense on account of them not giving enough exposition about them or their plans, it's also harder to make a villain for the base game.
The expansion is shorter, so it's easier for O'Dimm to have a much more heavy presence on everything going on, where with the main quest there would often go dozens of hours before seeing anything about the hunt.
>>335353024
no, but they could cast protection anytime they want to go out etc.
Velgefortz would be able dodge or catch bullets under all thso enchancements
>>335352962
I honestly just absolutely adore Gaunter as a character and his execution within the game. Just talking to him is intimidating seeing how polite he is despite the fact that he wields unimaginable power. It's hard to exactly pin down why I feel that Gaunter stole the show when it comes to Heart of Stone.
>>335353002
I love how he seems pretty reasonable right up until going full stormfront.
Poor Alvin, Ciri indirectly cucked him out of having a meaningful life.
>>335352767
I saw, but still.
>witchers
>wearing plate
heugh
>>335353024
No, they couldn't, mages don't get super reflexes or awesome combat powers unless your name is Vilgefortz
That's why they stand way behind their own lines in battles
Goddamn, I cannot handle how interesting introducing firearms to this setting would be
>>335353024
Maybe don't really know though I do know that the mages end up surviving some 120 years after 1268 and if anything they seemed to have gained more power as Philippa became a fucking Saint of all things.
>>335336973
I'd fuck those queens.
Remember when the White Frost was simply an inevitabl ice age that awaits every world instead of an evil interdimensional snow storm?
>>335353229
>Witchers wearing chaimail
>>335353045
season of storms hints at possibility of mages creating monsters all over the place
and the world is big he won't be out of work at least for another 200 years
>>335353229
I wish cdpr had pushed the realism a bit more, those heavy metal spikes and sword "schwing"s were lame.
>>335353229
you realize that chinamail is as heavy or more heavy than actual plate?
>>335353292
Remember when the white frost was the planet slowly tilting on it's axis making the Witcher world become inhabitable through an ice age some 3000 years after the events we see?
>>335353237
remind me what happens in 1268? i should consider re reading the books
>>335352962
HoS soundtrack is fucking amazing
https://youtu.be/NqLb3Jc-NKc?t=7m38s
>>335353292
Eh, not that much of a difference. The real shit part was them hardly talking about and then suddenly "Oh right, I guess we should also try and stop the white frost while we're at it" and then they don't give us a throwaway line about how the fuck Ciri managed to stop it.
>>335353173
I think I can pin down one thing though. Whenever you talk to him, you can just feel his power radiate off him in that no matter what the circumstances are he will remain polite as if he's pulling a million strings at once and that it's all part of his plan.
>>335353306
Don't be talking shit about chainmail
>>335353292
remember when nobody fucking knew what white frost was after reading the books?
>>335353458
That's just when Gearlt and Yen "die" and when the main plot line of the books end. We get flash forwards with Nimue some 120 years after then and she is trying to find out what actually happened to Geralt, Yen, and Ciri and through these flash forwards we get glimpses of the future of what the world looks like.
Fuck, i'm upset they didn't have coen in the tutorial of the game, they could've done it.
>romancing sorceresses
>not burning them at the stake
Fucking mutants. Just die already.
>>335353486
it was good part
we watched Ciri story thoguhr Geralt eyes, she and her elf buddy knew much more than they told us
she didn't want to involve Geralt into this cosmic mess at all
and more importantly from Geralt perspective the real ending is epilogue when Ciri becomes witcher or empressshe leaving the world didn't happen!
>>335330057
I'd suck the feminine penis of the one on the right.
>>335353173
>>335353496
Reminds me of those pics where you can see how O'Dimm is basically following you through most quests in the expansion, like being dressed up a crossbowman standing subtly in the background. It's real fucking creepy.
>>335353518
a leather jerkin is all you needI honestly don't think Geralt ever wears chainmail in combat
>>335343885
all you need is spy cards, decoys and cards that have Tight Bond and some cards that have Scorch
>>335353647
Fuck off Radovid, you're just a tsun tsun for Philly
>>335353596
Ahh the other Witcher that got pitchforked or stabbed by something with a prong.
>>335353734
If only we had best set in the third game
>>335330290
I wonder if this is going to break the endless spy & decoy meta
>>335353861
It's coming in B&W
>>335353801
SHUT UP
I'LL SHOVE A STAKE SO FAR UP YOUR ASS YOU'LL THINK A DWARF WENT CAVE DIVING IN YOUR ANUS
FUCKING MUTANTS REEEEE
considering the type of enemies witchers usually fight a 12 layers thick linen armor, or equivalent, used to train guard dogs would be best
>>335353709
>That fucking bad ending
I didn't watch that until way after beating the game, and good lord, that is the most depressing shit ever. Everything about is pure dread.
Although I wish the other endings would've also had them mention the medallion, although I suppose I can keep it as a head-canon that Geralt and Ciri hunted her down at some point after the game.
>>335353861
Geralt truly is a dex fag. He doesn't even parry blows often and just pirouettes away like the ballerina that he was trained to be.
>>335353596
I can see why though as it would be totally confusing for non-book readers as he wouldn't show up or be mentioned afterwards.
>>335353801
>all the bitches you can sleep with
>can't fuck Philippa
just kill me
>>335353920
>inb4 B&W comes out in august or something
Fucking hell

>>335345702

>>335354075
The gauntlets are kind of faggy looking, but I guess we can just switch those out.
>>335354092
its like 4-6 weeks away as you could tell from all the marketing theyve been doing past weeks

I'm so tired of bethesda approach to DLC
>>335354146
i always kept winter for monster decks
>>335354019
Sapkowski's idea of a sword fight is the best thing in the world
>I'll use the secret witcher technique of pirouettes do defeat him!
>oh no, his pirouettes are way better than mine fuuuuuuuck
It's a good trick
>>335330432
play it NOW you fucker
>>335354182
Before playing I was totally convinced that I wouldn't want to help assassinate him, but fucking hell, they did a good job of really making me want him dead.
Too bad that quest line ends with Dijkstra going full retard and the world not really acknowledging that the absolute rad man is dead.
>>335354301
you didn't read many manuscripts about sword fighting did you?

Vilgefortz has the best pirouettes in town and don't you forget about it.
/v/ would you the Ladies of the Wood in their "human" form
I would
>>335354352
you mean the ones mentioning how you should use a fucking shield because you're not a jedi?
well lads this was the best witcher thread in a very long time
thanks
>>335353230
It'd be an interesting dynamic to see the Lodge of Sorceresses getting all paranoid about getting sniped that's for sure.
>>335354535
They aren't qtpi enough to justify the downside of them fucking eating you afterwards

why is her body so fucking grey? her entire legs and disgusting belly, they are the same fucking shade as the asphalt

>people actually played all 3 witcher games
nice to know you didn't play the first one. my guess is 90% of retards who post in this thread didn't
>people still care about this meme game
I really wonder what type of shit youlike. doubt it better tahn witcher
>>335354053
yea i guess you're right, it would've been totally neat tho
>>335354750
literally every single person after that point used two handed swords or bastard swords, of course!
especially the ones not in full metal armor
>>335337376

Nilfgaard is better
anyway, when can we expect a release date for the new expasion?
>>335354726
Vincent's story was pretty much over with him retiring from being werewolf batman. I don't recall anything about Iorveth having content cut, but I never really liked him that much as well.
I missed Siegfried the most, I wonder if he's dead.
>>335354790
lack of blood circulation
>>335354879
since no trailer yet Id guess 1st week of june
>>335354879
there was a retailer leak for June, but i don't know if that's true
>>335354921
Iorveth was meant to show up in the Novigrad portion of the game.
Showing up in the following quests:
Scoia'tael
The Battle of Kaer Morhen
Final Preparations
Isengrim would also have shown up
CDPR at PAX or not?
>>335354870
I hope they make some references to this nigga in the expansion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1sJdesQmq8
>>335354826
civilians used rapiers
rapier - glock 17 of the 15th c. city
not everything is about army, bandits weren't using plate armor or anything fancy
not to mention 80% of army didn't have plate
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9fHmXxaXqQ
>>335355030
>Isengrim would also have shown up
I think the retards might have gotten confused when him and Iorveth appeared on screen together.
>>335355150
>civilians
lol
>>335355101
Took the combined efforts of Geralt, Yen, Regis, Fringilla, and Ciri to bring him down. He was an absolute madman.
>>335355261
okay, people that live in the cities
if you want to be that nitpicky
>>335348894
nigga looks like he bout to use kamehameha wave or sum shyt lmfaoo ctfuuu :') :')
>>335355491
truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
>>335355429
it's not about being nitpicky it's about being trained to fight
if you have some faggot coming up to you with a rapier, you're better off having a sword in your off hand instead of learning shitty dodging techniques
>>335355289
He was one of two people that trashed Geralt one vs one in melee combat. That is fucking something.
>>335355551
you don't seem to know a thing about fencing - footwork is essential
off hand dagger is worst case scenario if you are at all lucky to parry with it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efZLw-tlIOs
>>335355792
>fencing
lol
you're trying to fucking kill the other guy, man
having a shield is always the better option
>>335355763
Who was the other one? I forget.
>>335355952
Wasnt it Bonhart?
>>335355997
Geralt and Bonhart never faced off against each other.
I suppose you could count Letho.
>>335355763
The nigga was rad. So is he dead or was it all a ruse.jpeg? Considering theres rumors of him being in Blood and wine
>>335355936
just so you know real medieval shields break/fall apart after a few hits in right places
you played too much darksouls
>>335356079
I doubt he's coming back from having his head chopped off. I sincerely hope the rumors are just about references to him or some flashbacks or something. Bringing people back from the dead, especially when it's favorites, is lazy writing and I doubt CDPR will stoop that low.
>>335355952
Absolutely everyone thrashed Geralt afterwards
seriously, every fight is "Geralt started pirouetting But oops he forgot about his bad leg and crumpled to the floor"
>>335356079
He's completely dead, so dead you can't handwave it
>>335356270
Didnt the dryads fix it?
>>335356270
He's nerfed quite a bit after that, sure, but he still manages to wreck ass in spite of it.
>>335356364
Let's see if I can post this before the thread dies
They fixed it from being completely broken, it still hurts enough that he can't fight properly
I WANT TO FUCK SHANI TILL MY BALLS ARE DRY
