>>342031080
Radovid sucks flacid cock
>>342031080
Dijkstra's always been full retard. He tried to 1v1 Geralt in the books and Geralt snapped his leg in half
On an unrelated note, I find it funny in am endearing way whenever someone who hasn't read the books says something about Dijkstra going retard in 3 or being a bro before going retard in 3. Dijkstra has never been a bro and he was always full retard>>342031327
>>342031574
people are just surprised when he does a full 180 outta nowhere after trying to be reasonable and intelligent
>>342031731
>he does a full 180 outta nowhere
It's fucking Dijkstra
>>342031080
Why does he change so much between games? In w1 he is a literal DYEL. In W2 it looks like he unfucked himself after a healthy dose of Adda's pussy. And in 3 he gets crazy mason eyes and turns ugly again.

Likeable? Charismatic, sure, but if you played 2 and had any sympathy for the mage at Loc Muinneor if you had Keira die in TW3 from public impalementyou'd hate him
Agreed that they shouldn't have killed him off though

>>342031574

This. Djikstra has a history of underestimating Geralt.

If you want the full Radovid experience play Witcher 2.
>>342031574
> Reading books
lel, I ain't got time for that shit. Only fucking nerds read books haha virgin lil bitch
Nilfgaard sounded so much better than Redania it's crazy
>>342032307
You just fucked up. He gives you like 2k gold if you helped him find his treasure.
>>342032307
Again, it's fucking Dijksta. Us book bros weren't surprised in the least
>>342031080
What exactly is likable about him? His stunt at the end of the Witcher 2 and his retarded crusade against everyone from alchemists to dwarves paint him as nothing but a cunt.
I am sad they made Djikstra a retard though. There's basically no good ending for the North other than just letting Nilfgaard win.
In your opinion /v/, what character who did not appear in Witcher 3 was a wasted opportunity?
I killed Keira Metz. I don't like vile two faced serpants, did I do good?
>>342032692
Saskia
>>342032640
Agreed, I was hoping for the political intrigue of TW2 in 3
>>342032756
RIP lambert
you done fucked up son
Radovid was happy once
>>342032692
Iorveth or Saskia; Roche and the ex-Temerians should've been more prominent too imo
>>342032756
>not getting the ending where Keira and Lambert fall in love
Dam son
>>342032692
Iorveth. Pretty much the elven equivalent of Osama Bin Laden with an interesting backstory about his fucked up face. Yet his story ends with Saskia rejecting him and him fucking off.
Really pissed I transferred over my W2 save where I sided with Iorveth and nothing changed. The Scoia'tael still treat me like shit and Roche is a total bro to me even though I dicked him around.
>>342031080
the latter two areas of The Witcher 3 (skellige and the city) feel kind of unfinished in terms of missions.
>>342031080
Wait a minute.
I never thought of this before, but is it just me or does Radovid kind of look like Maddox?
>>342032586
> the books do it, so it's fine
No. Djikstra is a shit character. Sapkowski seemed to want a rational but bipolar character, but utterly failed and it comes off as poor writing
>>342032692
Fucking Anais
I liked it.
Radovid was a royal CUNT and dumb as hell. He managed to make enemies non-fucking-stop when he could have been making allies. Instead, he overreacts at the tiniest slight and acts rashly on his own dumb ideas.
Geralt probably would not kill Radovid, but I did. The moment I realized, after all that crazy bullshit I did in TW2 to prove I didn't kill a fucking king, that I get to kill a king... Well, Radovid was a cunt.
>>342032963
Maddox committed suicide?
Good. Fuck that faggot.
>>342032963
Oh fuck
>>342032963
Makes complete sense since radovid is a complete over opinionated cuck.
>>342033076
>Geralt probably would not kill Radovid
Geralt is a special snowflake. He's not supposed to meddle in human affairs but almost always does.
He would stab the fucker in a heartbeat.
>>342033084
No, unfortunately. I just shopped it because he was making the same face as the suicide guy in one of his newer video thumbnails.
>>342033067
I didn't say Dijkstra was or wasn't a good character. I'm saying it's not surprising that he's retarded if you read the books.

Geralt would definitely have killed Radovid. He's a direct threat to Triss and Yen and it's pretty clear he's going to turn on the Witchers as well.
>>342032247
Yeah, I wish I could have killed her right there after she stole my kill.
I don't want her to be near my daughter, the Empress of Nilfgaard.
>>342031080
Did anyone else not kill Radovid? I liked how crazy the mother fucker was.
>>342032337
>>342033076
>>342033217
This. Geralt always makes a big deal of how he doesn't want to get involved in politics because he doesn't want to be neck deep in shit, but his own conscience is too strong and he keeps diving into shitty situations that need a hero when he knows he should keep his distance.
It's what gets him "killed" in the end in the books.
>>342031080
This guy. I understand people will tell me he got his due in mgs3.
But I think if he had a more prominent role in the game besides angry mute guy. Maybe get a new VA since volgins actual VA is so fucking campy. But having his plot explained for him by someone else seemed dumb to me.
That and at the start of the game he seems like he's the wildcard but somehow becomes skullfaces lackey by the end game.
>>342033076
>>342033076
>Geralt probably would not kill Radovid, but I did.
There is only a thing in the Big Code of Geralt that overrides the prime neutrality directive and it is do not fuck with his bros.
> radovid
> hailed as a 'tacticool genius'
> kills all the mages in his territory instead of using them to cast fireballs at the nilfgaardians
Brilliant indeed
>>342033384
Nah, had to kill him. Guy was too unstable to be in that high a position of power. His policies were causing some serious shit for people I/Geralt knew personally, so even if the long-reaching ramifications could be ignored Geralt still had a major stake.
>>342033076
I think the bigger issue is that it doesn't matter whether or not Geralt killed him, or helped kill him, he's such a fucking hateable cunt that someone would have killed him eventually either way. There was no way he would have been around for long by murdering everyone around him over nothing and acting like a spoiled manbaby.
>>342033384
I got him married in the first game. Allied with him giving him Foltest daughter in the second game. No way in hell Im suddenly going to turn around and kill him in 3.
Plus I always liked him
>tfw no shani ending
>>342033569
He's not unjustified in not trusting the mages. Remember the Lodge of Sorceresses were working with Letho to kill all the kings in TW2.
He's just a retard for going full Auschwitz on them.
The thing i hate the most about this game is that whether you let Roache kill Henselt or not doesn't matter which takes away all the importance of that decision.I mean why the fuck wouldn't I kill Henselt if it won't save North?
>>342033860
He was tutored by Philippa of course he will go Auschwitz on them.
>Well, this guy seems like an intelligent and threatening antago-
>DEAD
Witcher 3's 3rd act was fucking garbage, Reason of State (The writing of which is easily the second worst in the game behind the Wild Hunt themselves) was like the only meaningful side quest while the main story about the sorceresses, Ciri and Wild Hunt is legitimately terrible
If you replace Act 3 with Hearts of Stone and use Blood and Wine as the post game it's pretty much perfect
So, in HoS why couldn't Geralt just drop what he was doing and be with Shani? Wasn't it established that Geralt hated to be on the Path? Isn't that why most people chose Yennefer and had Geralt live with her and basically retire? I don't get why Geralt and Shani didn't hook up.
>>342032586
I mean I read all of them and it still seemed pretty out of character. Dijkstra fucked up in the books, but he didn't come across as that big of a pointlessly dickish suicidal retard, and seemed to be capable of learning something from said fuck ups. Like don't fight Geralt.
The books get pretty dumb some times, but TW3 channels that retardation and amplifies it times a hundred whenever it goes off the deep end.
>>342033860
He doesn't have to trust them, he can keep them on a very short leash. Fucking witchhunters seem to have metric fucktons of dimeritium anyways so it wouldn't be hard.
Likewise all those herbalists could help tend to the wounded.
>>342034141
You're a huge faggot if you don't continue on the path like Eskel
>>342034141
People choose Yen because she's his canon love interest and Ciri's pseudo-mom in the same way that Geralt's her pseudo-dad
>>342034141
Shani was drafted back into the "medical staff" aka comfort batallions.
>>342034141
Hey, I wanted to be with Shani as much as the next shanifag but Geralt was going to stay a witcher. At best, Shani would probably help Geralt and Ciri do witcher things until they outlived her.
>>342034134
Wew lad. Someone who shares my sentiments at long last.
The main quest the third act was so fucking garbage I just wanted it to be over.
Witcher 3 felt like a massive disappointment in every possible way:
>CDPR pulling off a 180 and becoming another EA
>Probably worst downgrade in history next to Watch Dogs
>Empty boring world filled with generic random loot and random 3-4 encounters copy pasted all over the place: Fight monsters, fight humanoids or discover some random hidden treasure that is 3 times worse than what you already wear. Mini and side quests that you discover by simply roaming were rare as fuck.
>Simplified and yet somehow at the same time bloated alchemy.
>Have I mentioned downgrade? Downgrade!
And the funniest part is that while W3 sucked in so many ways when compared to W2 it's still praised as a 10/10 because Western RPGs are so fucking terrible when compared to W3.
>>342034153
Pretty much this.
Alright, so it may be in character to betray Geralt, but it isn't in character to try to fucking solo kill him (with three other people there). Especially given he has a fucked up leg and even says earlier that he's not good at fighting.
It's one of those videogamey moments that takes people out of things. So many games have the combat and gameplay completely opposed to the dialogue and story. It's the downfall of the majority of RPGs.
>>342034475
>Crones built up to be some sort of mystical evil power which cannot be stopped
>Ciri just beats the shit out of them until they die
Wew
>>342033569
Actually he is a genius. Mages were always cunts both in books and games they only care about their own interests. If anything Witcher games went easy on them and showed many of them as helpful, poor victims of repression when in Witcher's world 99/100 mages cannot be trusted.
>>342034518
I preferred W2 but still really liked W3. I feel like I'm going crazy whenever I'm around people that say it's one of the best RPGs ever.
Like u wot m8. Have you ever played an actual RPG ever in your life?
>>342034592
Ciri's an even more powerful force of nature than the Crones. There's a reason she's a Witcher despite not having any mutations.
>>342034756
Fine. I get that. So use her mystical elder powers of whatever the fuck to kill the crones. Not just beating them up with a fucking sword in a fight not much different to fighting drowners.
Honestly they spent the whole game going on about her magical superpowers but everything she did was underwhelming as fuck.
>>342034592
I had more of a problem with Geralt getting grabbed by Beef McLarge just like Vesemir yet somehow still managing to get out.
And tons of other shit
>>342034141
They did hook up though???
And Shani is a workslut, she literally just wants to get blood splashed on her and not a dick inside m8
>>342034521
Yeah. I mean, Dijkstra betraying everybody? Sure, that's believable.
But I'd expect him to have better motives and execution. Like way better. Since his motive for killing Roche was dumb as hell (something about stopping him from signing that treaty with nilfgaard) since he could have easily convinced Roche to keep killing Nilfgaardians. And just bring a couple common thugs to kill Roche+Ves+Geralt is retarded.
And seriously expecting Geralt to just be like "ok, I have a code so Im not gonna get involved lol" after Geralt just killed Radovid, which means the code doesn't mean shit, and after Roche directly saved Geralt's life for the millionth time. Like come on. Nah.
>>342034885
Are you forgetting the part where she nearly destroyed Kaer Moerhen? She can't control them yet.
Are women more adept to learning magic than men in the witcher world? I really only remember Dethmold from tw2.
>>342031879
I read the books too. I don't have the slightest idea why you think Dijkstra is a complete bipolar mongoloid. He was retarded to face Geralt in the books, sure, but other than that he's one of the most intelligent characters in the series.
Everyone was surprised at his last mission. No fucking way book Dijkstra would've had Geralt at that place when he was going to betray his friends and FIGHT him after he refuses to walk away. It was beyond stupid and doesn't fit the character
>>342035037
>she nearly destroyed Kaer Moerhen
Did she fuck, everything was absolutely fine, what she did was no more impressive than whatever the sorceresses did.
>>342034734
Have you? Every other RPG before it was unplayable either because the combat is turn based or out right sucks. Yeah, TW3 has mediocre combat but it's playable at the least.
It also helps that the story is not complete and utter shit.
>>342034592
>Eskel always said to be like Geralts brother/equal
>Loses to the fucking mage faggot who then loses to Ciri out *teleports behind you*'ing
>Eskel doesn't even help in the final battle
>Neither does Lambert
>Or any of your other allies except for the Skellige guys
>>342035009
>roche and geralt just killed a few dozen elite soldiers
>Dijkstra brings like 5 hired thugs to kill them
Stupid way that was handled. Also doesn't really fit siggi's MO to just come out and tell you his plans like that.
>>342034756
Ciri isn't powerful at all though, the books detail that. Her elder blood powers are meh at best, her kid is supposed to be the one good at it. And even the the elder blood isn't some god tier power of ownage or anything. It's literally just opening the gate between worlds, aka teleporting shit.
>There's a reason she's a Witcher despite not having any mutations.
Oh, you mean retarded overly literal fanwank that can't distinguish between "honorary witcher" and "actual witcher"? You can't be a witcher without mutations, since that's literally the defining characteristic.
>>342035203
2/10
Apply yourself
>>342034141
If anything it's the opposite. Geralt dreams about having a small house in countryside where he would be able to retire and yet at the same the time he suffocating when hanging with Yennefer. If anything Geralt wants to be left the fuck alone which is why him and Yennefer never matched. W3 went very far ahead of books and really the whole Yenn/Geralt love story always felt forced to me - Maybe because in the end it was a Genie's wish that made them fell in love. I never believed in this "opposites attract each other bullshit.
>>342035056
The best mage that ever existed was a man.
Also in w1 you face a couple of magical men.
Lodge of Sorceress is just more "powerful" because they are women and they love gossiping and just being bad people, like they do IRL.
>>342035037
>She can't control them yet.
Ciri can control them just fine at the point she faces the crones. Her training is over at that point.
>>342035260
One that really bothered me was the whole "Gather allies for the fight against the wild hunt!" thing.
I did gather fucking allies, all of them
All I got was a fucking cutscene of that woman who got off with Lambert doing something. Hjalmar didn't even fucking APPEAR.
>>342034518
>CDPR pulling off a 180 and becoming another EA
CDPR isn't an international conglomerate that owns dozens of gaming studios and has its own publishing branch. Busted.
>Probably worst downgrade in history next to Watch Dogs
It was downgraded but it's still the best looking game and the most demanding PC game out at the moment.
>Empty boring world filled with generic random loot and random 3-4 encounters copy pasted all over the place: Fight monsters, fight humanoids or discover some random hidden treasure that is 3 times worse than what you already wear. Mini and side quests that you discover by simply roaming were rare as fuck.
Yeah but it's fun.
>Simplified and yet somehow at the same time bloated alchemy.

In case you aren't trolling it sounds like you fucked up on your play through like the retards who get the ending where Geralt dies
But you're probably just joking
>>342035381
>always felt forced to me
>I never believed
ok but your feelings aren't canon
>>342035203
I genuinely have a similar opinion. Games like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights have combat systems that aged like milk. Literally terrible and boring experiences.
>>342035260
Eskel and Lambert basically say "fuck this, fuck everything" after Vesemir dies.
Atleast Lambert has cute mage pussy to bang. Eskel is JUST
>>342035056
>>342035424
Lodge of Sorceress killed a gread deal of male mages in a day,which was the day they were officially named if I recall correctly.
>>342035740

it's a trap
>>342035740
>Keira

TW3 is one of those situations when you have fun while you're playing it and think the writing is pretty good.
Then you think about it for a while and realise half of it doesn't make any sense at all.
>>342035381
>Maybe because in the end it was a Genie's wish that made them fell in love. I never believed in this "opposites attract each other bullshit.
Geralt WAS ALWAYS IN LOVE.He could have wished to stop being a mutant (which he hates), he could have just wished to teleport him away, he could have just wished to give him super resistence to withstand the wreckage.
But no, he wished to be with her forever just because, nothing to do with love, merely a coincidence.
>>342035675
Compared to the witcher 3/pillars of eternity/da:i combat this games have god tier combat system

Fucking this
Why on earth would Dijkstra think that two people who have just killed the ENTIRE royal army and the king struggle against his five guys with axes? Additionally, why would he think, after those five guys with axes were killed, that he's the best man for the job and can 1v4 them? With his dodgy leg?
>>342035452
That wasn't even the most infuriating part of that quest
>Go see Emhyr
>he offers to send an entire army to kick the wild hunt's ass
>Geralt says no, because Emhyr wanted one of his own generals (who, you know, have experience leading armies) to lead it
>Go see Crach
>offers to let you fight the hunt in his awesome mountain fortress that is better than Kaer Morhen by virtue of not having holes in it and having a shit ton of norse warriors and battle druids who were literally raised on stories of how awesome it would be to fight the hunt
>"LOL NO THANKS CRACH, I WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT EVEN THOUGH ANY SKELLIGER WOULD CREAM THEMSELVES AT THE THOUGHT OF SUCH A DEATH AND IT FULFILLS THE HONOR BOUND DUTY THAT ALL SKELLIGERS INEXPLICABLY HAVE TO PROTECT THE LION CUB OF CINTRA SO REALLY IT WOULD BE THE NICEST THING I COULD DO FOR ALL OF SKELLIGE BUT NAH"
So. Fucking. Stupid.
>>342035927
We don't know what the wish actually was. We know the effect of the wish, yes, but Sapowski deliberately didn't reveal what exactly Geralt wished for.
>>342035534
Neither is the game. You realize that books never resolved it (and they probably never will cuz Sapkowski seems to simply milk the Witcher hype by writing filler tier novels)
and the whole relationship of Yenn and Geralt in books can be described in two sentences right? "Geralt's naive nature made him wish for love with a mage he met 5 minutes ago. They fuck a lot while disagreeing on everything and both love Ciri - The end"
>>342035472
pick one, it's simple as fuck unless you're a dumb 60iq dindu
Simplified - Because overdosing poisons in W3 only has perks and no coins, it takes no planning and preparation as it can be done from every place in the game unlike first Witcher for example.
Bloated - Because CDPR knew they fucked up alchemy so they simply added 50 different "use flask of x slaying to counter x" recipes that you craft once and forget about you dumb 20iq curry nigger.
>>342036152
>Geralt says no, because Emhyr wanted one of his own generals (who, you know, have experience leading armies) to lead it
This aggravated the absolute living FUCK out of me as well as Voorhis was Geralt's bro and they had hung out a few times. When Emhyr said that Voorhis would lead it I immediately thought fuck yeah, that's a great idea. But no.
It's one of the few times a game has genuinely made me angry from railroading.
>>342036152
The Emhyr part almost made me quit playing the game.
Geralt even had some bro time with Voorhis who would be leading the army (the horse race) so why the fuck would he refuse?
>>342036367
>>342036428
Fuck yeah Voorhis
Absolute best character in the game
>>342036050
Reminder that Geralt's first wish was for the Genie to fuck itself.
>>342035503
What are you talking about?
Eskel always loses to Caranthir and everyone you gather for the battle of Kaer Morhen fucks off immediately after

>>342036559
>>342036428
>>342036367
From Geralt's point of view he is a motherfucker who wants to rail his daughter. I liked him and would be a great emperor-consort for Ciri...But I also understand him.
>>342037004
I'd let him fuck the shit out Ciri, he was cool with me
>>342035260
I did find it funny that the Skellige guys didn't even seem to be there for the Wild Hunt but accidentally did so after trying to go for Nilfgaard.
>>342037004
Nah, that's bullshit. It was clear they got along fine in the horse part. Sure, he might have not been too keen on the Ciri thing, but fucking hell, he's an experienced general who could do a good job leading an army. There's no logical reason why Geralt should refuse.

>>342036152
>>342036367
Geralt doesn't even need an army, The Wild Hunt are fucking pussies. Him, Letho, and 2 other Witchers fought them to a standstill in the past, The entire Wolf School + Letho would shit all over them in Kaer Morhen.
The scene that REALLY pisses me off is when Geralt, Letho and Lambert are picking off the raiding parties and they see the fuckhueg general guy who later kills Vesemir. Letho literally wants to kick his ass right there yet Geralt is like "No, two of the most skilled Witchers alive and Lambert can't beat a guy who I'll later beat solo"

Sometimes it'll affect everyone, sometimes it'll just affect one guy and their friends will notice. Sometimes it just makes them confused, sometimes it makes them do what you want them to do, sometimes it lasts only a second, sometimes it lasts long enough for people to go and do an extended task.
I mean fuck just have a bit of consistency.

They should have introduced radovid as this edgy wacko to foil emhyr, so the player has a reason to like him. this guy persecutes me and all my friends throughout the game and is a murderous cunt hated by everyone, and there's no real reason to let him live. also, i have no fucking idea why dijkstra would just try and murder everyone who helped him assassinate radovid, especially considering how skilled roche and his ward are. huge assumption that geralt wouldn't side with roche and turn the tide.

WHAT THE FUCK
I HAVE BLOOD AND WINE. WHERE THE FUCK IS CIRI AT?
The only part that pissed me off was Phillipa KSing me.
>>342037603
IT'S NOT FAIR
SHE WAS MEANT TO CALL *ME* DADDY
>>342037962
after you finish the blood and wine story andif you don't romance anyone in the main storyline ciri visits your vineyard
>>342037806
At least it's better than what Cerys and Hjalmar got
>Hjalmar shows up in both Wild Hunt fight yet is just a missable NPC who has 1 line in each scenario, no cutscenes or cool feats in battle
>Cerys doesn't do anything at all
This thread has just made me realise how much was lacking in this game that I had never really considered.
I kind of wish I'd not read it.
>>342037603
She feels affinity with him in the last book too. IIRC he's one of the very few people whose touch she doesn't consider unpleasant.
>>342038213
A question
Can you still get the ciri on path ending if you choose to romance either yen or triss?
>>342035675
How old were you again? You should probably continue to focus on console games and if you want RPGs I'm sure Bethesda will deliver for your """tastes"""
>Have to pay a shitload of dosh to get to Skellige (there may have been a more complicated free way but I was lazy)
>Apparently it's a really dangerous route
>After you've visited once you can fast travel with no consequences whatsoever
>>342038324
At least Cerys is the beast Skellige Gwent card.
>>342038475_no
>>342038213
JUSTI romanced Yen. It feels forced as fuck that she's here, like they added her there because faggots who actually don't know the character would complain that Triss was there when romanced but Yen wasn't
>>342031080
I don't remember Radovid being this batshit crazy in TW1 and TW2.
Also that ending aftet you killed him
>ROBBED OF RADOVID TACTICAL GENIUS
Oh, I'm sorry, game, 1 battle, 1 political move and a cutscene where he tells me he likes to listen to his chess pieces, I mean, tottaly, genius.
Game has great moments, but my god writing can be shit sometimes.
And why the fuck do I help lodge, it's the worst way possible, why make The Lodge, establish new governmental body for magic. Lodge is retarded and did not work.
>>342038475
No, priority is: romance option>ciri if alive>dandelion (geralt with no waifu nor daughterfu)
He was pretty interesting. Too bad he gets "killed off" early in the game in a qt shitfest.
>>342037768
Most signs in as show in the book are weak as shit. They were used primarily for utility rather than combat. At the most Axii was only used to calm Geralt's horse. Why? because lorewise those are weak magic in the first place due to how simple it was.
>>342038736
How does it feel forced? Yen ending is literally "YOU BUY A HOUSE, YOU FUCK ALL DAY, NO MORE WORK, NO MORE MONSTER SLAYING", literally B&W ending
If anything Triss ending involves going to Kovir so that would be forced.
>>342039103
>Most signs in as show in the book are weak as shit.
U wot?
>>342032307
>Dijkstra during the Triss quest
He didn't do it out of kindness or pretend to do so.
He just wants to be on the good side of the future counselors of royalty.
In hindsight, since he'd planned to kill Rado all along, he knew the time for mages to become relevant in court again was pretty fucking soon and that would be a great way to get favors.

>mfwOrianna is the bruxa Geralt kills in the "A Night to Remember" cinematic
>>342039041
I will never forget this how much they hyped him up only for him to die so early on. I actually thought it was a ruse when it first happened
>>342038605
>>342038946
Shit then.Time to let go of yen,I guess.I want the path ending.
>>342039104
Oh.I thought that Triss ends up at the vineyard if you romanced her
Any other good plot holes? I love this shit for some reason.
>>342039629
She does but that poster was referring to how Geralt planned to travel to Kovir with Trish after the wild hunt business was wrapped up iirc.
>>342039335
woah dude, you're only 20 days late
>>342035452
Not in a cutscene, but he's there. He dives into a portal at one point, remember?
>>342034141
Shani in general is so clumsily implemented.
They really try to force her down your throat "HEY DID YOU NOTICE SHE'S A LOVE INTEREST FUCK HER FUCK HER HERE LE MET OPEN HER LEGS FOR YOU" when chances are two third of the players already picked either Yen or Triss, yet HoS never ever fucking acknowledges you're in a relationship already.
All the dialogues chastise you for not pursuing her like you're either a beta or too dumb to realize she's interested.
Then we've got a wonderful Mass Effect moment where you're forced to kiss her unless you act like a total dick to her and bail/get her wasted.
Kinda disappointing considering the game had monitored what you'd been up to regarding Yen and Triss so far.
Hope B&W doesn't do this shit.
>>342039671
Iorveth is actually a secret crossdressing whore in one of the Toussaint whorehouses. You get to fuck him and he moans your name.
Pretty big plot hole considering how he was last game. I was shocked.
>>342040487
>>342035424
that's gaunter odimm right?
>>342034141
Who in the actual hell cared about Shani? She is basically and essentially Triss-lite. Boring as fuck
>>342031080
Most disappointing quest in the game.
I seriously expected that quest to get remade in a patch, but it was not. How can anyone justify picking Dijkstra in that situation, even if you like him more. He was just being a fucking retarded shit canister.
>>342037603
at least she's not a retarded witcher wannabe
>I drunk Black Blood and it was easy
Bitch, what are you drinking witcher potions for? You want to become retarded?
>>342035056
>>342035424
also you face an Ofieri mage in the HoS campaign
>>342040582
Dude O' Dimm is literally the devil
>>342037768
I liked how unreliable Axii was in TW2, here with Delusion easily maxed it appears really fucking OP.
At least the game has multiple instances of Axii backfiring when used on a group.
>get to THAT quest
>always break dijkstra's leg
>always miss out on the assassinating rad mission
fuuuuuuck

th-thanks, Lady of the Lake

Technically he's expecting you to stay neutral as a witcher should, but come on, he knows Geralt by now.
Also I like to believe Roche could handle 6 unarmored henchmen and a cripple.
>>342031080
>likeable
Madovid was a cunt, how can you even like him?
>>342034471
>until they outlived her.
Geralt? yes, he's already a century old. Ciri? No. She ages like any normal human. She can travel through time and space, but she will die like any other. And Geralt will remain.
Unless she becomes a full blown sorceress.
Why don't Emperors use sorcs to live forever in this universe?
>>342040382
Just fuck her
>>342037247
Fucking this.

>>342038402Emiyr isn't actually that terrible of a dude in the books. At the end of a pretty massive story arc Yenn and Geralt are actually about to be executed by Emiyr because they know of some consipriacy he was a part of, and they know he needs to tie off loose ends. Emiyr lets them spend one last night together, and promises Geralt that he will never hurt Ciri.
After having one final fuck with Yenn, their room door opens to reveal Ciri, who says that all the Nilfgaardians and Emiyr left. It turns out that after Ciri learned she would never see her adoptive parents again she began to sob. Upon seeing his daughter in tears he realized he had broken his promise to Geralt, and left.
Doesn't explain why he changed his mind about finding Ciri in the third game tho. Maybe because she was in trouble or something.
>>342043409
>last 2 books
Sorry, I took you seriously for a second there
>>342043625
Well...I mean...His original plan was to knock up ciri so their child could rule the world. But he abandoned that.
Am I missing something about him being a more major taint down the line?
>>342044449
And he's Yozh from first 2 books.
I mean I don't give a fuck about last 2 books. Anjey wiped his ass with paper and submitted it to his editor simply to get some money for vodka.
>>342034518
try harder kiddo
