Just started witcher 3 any tips or tricks you guys got for me?
>>344115520
At one point a man will die if you won't know how to play gwent
>>344115520
>step one
Take out Witcher 3 disc
>step two
Put in trash
Play on hard
>>344115520
>Tricks
You won't need them, game is easy as shit
>>344115520
It's basically a movie set in an open world. Prepare to run through empty country side for minutes in between cutscenes or dealing with trash mobs that only require mashing x to win. It's a game for people to don't enjoy actual games.
>>344116408
I'm playing on blood and bones the one before the hardest
Ignore anyone who trashtalks the game completely, it's fantastic and even with the various issues it has, still manages to be the best open world game of all time.
A good tip is to get good at Gwent, lots of opportunities to earn money from it and good cards from the various inkeepers, merchants, traders, your friends, sometimes enemies. Great minigame, so good they're making a full standalone game out of it.
>>344115520
Pro-Tip; dont neglect alchemy.
>>344116495
>>344116746
This is why you play on hard. Not death march btw the second hardest one.
Remember that /v/ loved the Witcher until it became mainstream
>>344117029
>best open world game of all time
Is it meme day? It's not even a good open world game let alone the best
>>344117152
Death March is easy, you'd know this if you played on it. All I did was spam igni and quen and steamrolled everything.
The only real tricks are the alchemy and sign skill trees. The game makes it seem like these trees should be things you can invest heavily in. Well, they're pretty much shit and you're not ever going to be able to throw more than a few bombs or do more than some minor DOT damage with your spells, so put points into the fucking sword tree.
Use quen if your having a hard time with a fight, shits really strong. Go to the question marks on the map, easy way to make money (buy selling the gear you get) and get level up points.
>>344117210
I respect your opinion, but I completely disagree with it. The Witcher 3 has not failed to satisfy and has in fact made sure that any other open world rpg game I might play in the future is immediately compared to it. I dare say that when I do that, it will come up wanting compared to The Witcher 3.

>best open world game of all time
That's not saying much
>>344115520
Make sure you choose the canon and objectively best waifu.
>>344117210
What are some better open world games, kid?
>>344115520
Start of playing gwent from the start. Other then that get a rig that can play it on max settings and just enjoy it.
>>344115520
alchemy build with cluster bombs is very entertaining
>>344117479
morrowind
>>344117469
For sure I wanted her from the beginning
>>344115520
from what i can tell, quests recommended for under your current level all give you 1 xp so it's best to do quests that match your current level
invest in the arrow deflection combat skill right away. it's only three points. also, you're a witcher and what separates witchers from your average swordsmen is your ability to make use of alchemical potions without dying

GOAT
f-fucking pleb SHIT SONYPONY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>344117513
Yea I got to get a hang of that seems fun. I throw out all my card the first round lol
if you use ursine armor or nothing but sword skills you're a boring fag
>>344116408
isn't the only difference that shit takes way longer to kill and you heal for less, can't meditate to recover, etc? doesn't sound fun at all.
>>344117603
Wow. You were to name 1 game, and even that is shittier. Kys
>>344117479
Morrowind, Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto V San Andreas. There are plenty, kiddo.
>>344116746
and here on our left we see a shitposter in his natural habitat
>>344117347
False, signs can replace swords but it takes some leveling first
>>344117856
you must be trolling if you think RDR open world was more interesting at all
yeah i sure love spending most of my travel time staring at brown desert and bobbing horse ass
>>344117913
Here on the right we see a faggot that is unable to refute points and results to shit flinging.
>>344117210
>>344117316
Yea it's pretty disappointing. The first few hours are rough but once you get some decent gear especially the witcher armor it get's a bit too easy. My biggest gripe with the gameplay is the ai is too predictable.
>>344117783
This. Ursine armor is OP, even on deathmarch you take fuck all damage.
I went feline purely for the deeps but even then the only somewhat challenging fights were in the DLC.
>>344118060
i don't need to refute it in the same way i don't need to refute someone who argues the sky is purple.
>>344118047
So pretty much the same as The Witcher except you get some generic forests to run through?
>>344117780
Just remembered something else, buy every gwent card you see from the inn keepers, at first it will be hard because you wont have much money tho.
Some choices in the game are kinda vague and misleading and makes Geralt do something or say something else I would reload when that happened other than that I would stick with my choices and try not to read anything online about it. I think it ruins the story if you read too much online.
>>344118216
RDR was dull as piss visually. no idea why everyone loves that game so much.
Play skyrim or dragon age inquisition instead
>>344118189
>I'm just going to move the goal posts and hopefully he won't notice.
>>344115520
Put a point in gourmet. makes the game easymode even on death march.
>>344118069
I ran into this issue. It gets even worse with the enemies in Blood & Wine. No tactics; no variation; just an stream of human bandits charging endlessly forward.
Play on hard mode.
While you can sleep around with women in the game with no consequences, only confess your love to one.
Gwent is fantastic
Use potions, they help a lot. Swallow revives health and is very helpful. Build your character around using the Quen sign. This sign allows you to avoid taking damage until your shield breaks. Extremely helpful
>>344118347
what goalposts are there to even move. your post was just wrong, dude. you know it was, you know it's not a "movie where you mash x for trash mobs"
you fucking knew that you were lying when you posted and i cant stop giving you these fucking replies. fucking christ i hate this board so much
real advice here
the two skills in the first alchemy row that increase tolerance and increase overdose threshold are massive boosts for little skill investments, by the time you have all the recipes those two alone will let you use 3 decoctions and a few potions at once, completely trivializes the game even on deathmarch
buy every gwent card you see
play story NPCs for their gwent cards before you do quests involving them
>>344118387
Every boss aside from the first in B&W requires tactics along with Shaelmaars and the centipedes.
>>344118527
The game has more cutscenes than The Last Of Us, Uncharted 4 and The Order 1886 combined, and you are seriously arguing it's not a movie? You are full on retarded. All the game consists of is cutscenes and dealing with trash mobs which are interspersed with exploring a dull empty overly large world. Deal with it, your favourite game is a movie with hours of running from point a to point b.
Tip:
As you level, hunt for recipes as best you can. Specifically, potions, bombs, and decoctions.
Level combat and sign skills exclusively until about 25. Then, head to novigrad and acquire something called the potion of clearance.
With all your freshly cleared points, spec into alchemy. By now, you should have found a decent chunk of recipes. Learn what they do, they're almost all useful in their own ways.
Equip ursine gear, become an unkillable, bomb hurling, buffed-to-hell-and-back, god like creature comprised of fury and malice.
Fuck the David Beckham look-a-like over when you get the chance and pick the bottomless bottle of vodka. Enjoy unlimited everything.
Win the game.
Get to Toussaint, switch to Manticore armor, ascend even higher.
Note: This is only fun on Death March, alchemy builds blow through everything like kleenex on lower difficulties to the point where there really isn't any point in playing.
>>344118769
>Witcher 3 world
>Dull and empty
Kek.
>>344118749
yeah there are so many bosses i can think of that i'd say good fucking luck trying to mash through on all but the lowest difficulty
idk why people choose witcher threads to shitpost these days, i guess because it is popular now and therefore bad
I'm just now getting back into the games since before Hearts of Stone hit. What has changed gameplay-wise?
I heard Igni got nerfed. How bad is it now?
>>344118926
OP do blood & wine last of all, it's meant to be played in order of release for maximum satisfaction imo.
>>344118749
Nothing survived long enough to require the use of tactics on Blood and Broken Bones. Even centipedes died in 4 hits; just get 2 in and back away from the curl. The Shaelmaars were the only things that didn't die immediately and only because of lolarmor. Not terribly difficult, but it wasn't brainless at least, that's something.
>>344118926
>equip Ursine gear
Stopped reading there. Disgusting casul scum.
>>344118927
definitively dull and empty, yeah. They advertised it as an "open world" game yet there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING out in the open world. Few monster nests, bandits around a chest, some witcher gear, big monster here and there. literally like 1/30 the content of a bethesda game.
>>344118927
I bet you think that Ubisofts open worlds aren't dull and empty just because there are markers on the map.
>>344119195
>>344118749
To be fair to both the game myself I was also absurdly overpowered at the time, so take that with a grain of salt. Aerondight, Spin2Win, and the Alchemy mutation(s) are too stronk and break the game when combined.
>>344116059
I completed the game, which one is it?
Play a better game
>>344117856
>Morrowind
Bethesda has never done a good RPG.
>>344118708
>step one

>>344115520
kill the tree demon
Wow, shitposting in a w3 thread. Who would have guessed, thanks neo-v mods.
>>344119365
And filled with 7 different kinds of useless collectibles. Don't forget those.
>>344118990
I believe Sign Intensity builds got hit a bit but that's all I know. Lot of UI changes with the recent patches. Stamina glitch here and there still but nothing like on release.
>>344115520
Play as you want. Not too many "best" dialogue choices. Except when dealing with the main cast.
>>344119215
>getting hit regardless of the armor you're using
people use ursine because it's objectively the best looking witcher gear and for that sweet, sweet adrenaline gain
>>344120012
I'm sick and fucking tired of everyone saying it deserved all of those GOTY awards
>>344120173
Manticore > rest
>>344119320
>>344119365
>mfw i completed every single POI and enjoyed every minute of it
Sorry that you have downs bro, must suck not being able to enjoy beautiful game worlds filled with content.
>>344118304
Thats the fault of ps3/360 though, if it was on PC it would be so much better (like dragons dogma)
I played it on PS3 and it was horrible, in towns its like silky smooth 20fps. I dropped the game shortly after mexico anyway, got bored of it
>>344119772
The ramifications of this decision were fucking dumb.
>>344119320
>literally like 1/30 the content of a bethesda game.
There's nothing in Bethesda games.
Seriously, monster nests, bandits around a chest, some witcher gear and big monsters here and there are already 4 more things than a Betheda open world game has.
>>344120247
I thought it was too plain at first, but yeah, you're right.
Everything else starts to look plain silly after awhile. Manticore for life.
>>344120362
The Lady of the Wood did pretty typical Lady of the Wood things. Pissed off her daughters who killed her/eternally trapped her in the tree, and went on a murderous rampage because she had slipped into madness. You did read She Who Knows, right?
Talk sort of slow and emotionless and say "gotta be" after you think your onto something. And be a smart ass.
>>344120189
But the competition was:
an unfinished metal gear game,
a gamebryo "mods will fix it" game, and
a niche ps4 exclusive dungeon crawler.
every time i play blood and wine i feel miserable because it looks so nice and corvo bianco is so comfy
>>344115520
Read the books instead and play a better game
>>344121003
Oh what the fuck. Where are you supposed to pick that fucking book from?
God, damn it.
>>344115520
On higher difficulties go alchemy and on later levels add some melee skills and proceed to wreck shit
>>344118069
Ai is straight up retarded. All they do is charge...
>>344118673
Mutations make sure you will never need anything in the alchemy skill tree
>>344117856
RDR only had about 1/3rd of the people who played it beat it when it is about 1/4th as long. It speaks volumes about TW3.
>>344123729
Everywhere, the damn books is like in every place where there are a few books lying around like inside houses with book racks...
I sold it, like a dozen times...
>>344125091
It was boring tbqh.
>>344115520
Get the aded weight capacity for the general skills. Its useful as fuck, and also the 20min food regeneration perk in the gen skills tree, it bacically made the regen potion obsolete.
>HEY U GUISE XDD!!! RPG CODEX AGAIN XDD !!!!111 HOPE YOU LIKE SHILL THREADS WE RE GONNA MAKE ANOTHER ONE XDDdd1!!!11
>>344125091
Well very few people complete minesweep.
>>344115520
Go back and play the first 2.
Not 2 first. The games that came before it.
>>344125526
1 has o e of the worst combat mechaic in any game ever. Fable lost chapters was solid gold compared to witcher 1 combat
>>344119549
And? Morrowind doing role playing well and Morrowind doing open world well are two very different things.
>>344125318
It's a cool game but let's be real, Witcher 3 has a better world, a better minigame, better gameplay, more memorable everything, and a better mc.
Only thing that is worse is the horse, which, gets pretty endearing after 200 hours and that quest in blood and wine and that trailer for roach dlc. It's just part of his character to be a piece of shit at that point
>>344115520
Go play something good.
>>344125795
I finished the game twise i honestly dont know why people have problems with roach. I played with k/m if that makes any difference...
>>344125958
What , like Neptunia? Fuck that, fag.
>>344126019
Stopping at bridges and fucking everything, being rough on turns, feeling unresponsive jumping over shit, Roach is a mess, but I love him.
>>344120173
>not using the ornate robe you loot from Olgierd's manor exclusively
>>344125795
>lchemy row that increase tolerance and increase overdose threshold are massive boos
but i only use swallow and thunderbolt. how much difference can those alchemy skills actually make. it says 5% duration for each. so that is only 1 sec
Seen some complaints about the combat and balancing. Which if any are the best mods to help that?
From what I see there's: Better Combat Enhanced, Better Combat Evolved 2.0, Brutal and Realistic Combat
>>344126019
Play MGSV, it has much better horse controls.
The sole fact that the horse automatically jumps over obstacles is a huge improvement, not to mention that when doing the automatic run thing it makes random choices when you have two paths in front of you.
>>344126681
>The sole fact that the horse automatically jumps over obstacles is a huge improvement
Sounds awful. The solution to unresponsive controls isn't to arrest that control from the player.
If you have HoS make sure to play it before you beat the main story.
>>344126680
Uninstall Mod. Only way to make the game tolerable.
>>344126834
How come?
>>344126826
Thing is, Roach doesn't react to anything if there's an obstacle.
He just keeps sprinting into walls, and sometimes I even had to get off the horse because he got stuck in places where he should be able to reach.
TW3 was really good, but horse controls are some of the worst i've ever experienced.
Not to mention how even when moving from automatic roads he may randomly stop in his tracks for absolutely no reason.
>>344126681
Already played it and will play it never again. Thanks though, but MGSV isn't even better than its own 20 dollar demo. I'm here to discuss a game I actually care about.
>>344126487
You'd be surprised.
I went through the game on release and used only Blizzard and Swallow. Went to NG+ for HoS and B&W and dabbled in the Alchemy tree. With all the formulae, your Toxicity max can go up to 200+ , the Overdose threshold allows you stack more deconcotions without losing HP, and you can go above the 70% mark to keep potions on for 30+ minutes.
Add the Alchemy mutation where you do more damage for each point of Toxicity and I was swinging for 8ks on crits. It's absurd how useful Alchemy is once you build it right. 9 Cluster-bombs for each bomb is insanity.
>>344127068
>Already played it and will play it never again. Thanks though, but MGSV isn't even better than its own 20 dollar demo
>/v/'s opinions
No wonder nobody takes this place seriously.
>>344126927
I recommend it because you get additional dialogue with characters who disappear once you beat the main story.
>>344116408
no, don't listen to this tryhard faggot
first playthroughs should always be on the easiest so you can enjoy the game and story
second playthrough do hardest to get all the cheevos and shit
>>344127190
Anyone besides Vesemir?
>>344127074
what is the overdose threshold? i've never really looked at toxicity since i never go over (can only use one swallow potion at a time)
>>344127190
I finished HoS after the main story and the only thing I can think of isVesemir. What more did I miss?
>>344127068
It's irrelevant, the point is that MGSV is a game which had great controls, and a horse that, mostly, wasn't retarded.
Just hope Cyberpunk won't have any mechanics like that.
>>344127110
MGSV would have been a better game if it had GZ style maps and missions. Sorry bud, MGSV not only ruins any expectations it's demo gave, but it effectively tarnishes any memory of its own series.
I do agree the horse works better though.
>>344127074
>9 Cluster-bombs for each bomb is insanity.
It really is. Tossing a few dancing stars into the bandit fortresses in B&W was great.
>>344127521
>tarnishes
MGSV is the only game with decent gameplay, the ones before were boring movie games with no redeemable aspects.
>>344127110
MGSV was an unfinished turd ruined by things like magic and copy pasted missions. At least the demo wasn't pants on head retarded story wise.
>>344126971
I fully agree that Roach's controls were frustrating, at best. I don't see the solution being to automate more of them.
>>344127190
Only if you intend to get the shirty ending where you're a faggot and a terrible Witcher. Not even a reasonable dialogue to choose when every other option including fucking off is better
>>344127639
>ruined by things like magic
>magic
MGS has ALWAYS had magic.
>At least the demo wasn't pants on head retarded story wise.
It was, actually.
The entire franchise is like that.
>>344127342
By default it's 70% of your maximum Toxicity. With the skill it raises to 100% so you'll never go above unsafe levels.
>>344127551
Dragon's Dream and Northern Wind are hilarious. Everything either gets stunlocked by fire or ice.
>>344127341
>>344127354
Yen,Ciri, and Triss all get new dialogues. Gaunter gets new dialogue about Ciri.
>>344127789
But the Gaunter dialogue about Ciri is garbage. It's shit that's obvious yet worded poorly on the dialogue menu.
>>344127592
What good is decent mechanics if the entire game sucks. GZ is a 10/10 demo would buy again for 2 dollars but MGSV is ass and it's vehicles are amateur trash.
Yeah, Roach isn't better but CDPR actually are pretty new. Kojima isn't.
>>344127729
I can't tell which ending you think is shitty or what dialogue options you're talking about.
>>344128038
>paying for a demo
Kill yourself.
>it's vehicles are amateur trash.
How so?
>What good is decent mechanics if the entire game sucks
Who cares about the story?
MGS has always had garbage plots.
>>344128078
Siding with Gaunter is dumb and you are a terrible Witcher for doing it
And EVERY choice is better than that one if you really need to fail at everything.
>>344128282
Did people side with Gaunter? Seems really anticlimactic.
It's like Bloodborne all over again people bad mouthing it because it's GOAT
honestly almost flawless, I got it this summer sale and it totally lived up to the hype.
>>344128159
Sorry I bought a demo for a couple dollars that was better in every way to its own full release turd with trash ass vehicle controls and physics that makes that shit in Mass Effect look a triumph by comparison
>>344128282
Olgierd made a deal, why should Geralt help him get out of it just because the guy he made a deal with is spooky?
>>344118216
>whole game is generic forests
Confirmed for not playing,
>>344127994
True but it still doesn't take away that if you do it after the main game you some lose content with other characters. It's not much but it's nice to have more dialogues.
>>344128659
>better in every way
How?
>trash ass vehicle controls
Not really, car controls are really great.
>physics that makes that shit in Mass Effect look a triumph by comparison
Not ME, not MGSV and not TW3 have any display of physics.
Everything is absolutely static.
>>344128282
While Gaunter does more shitty things to people than practically anything else in existence, I detested Olgierd and I wanted to see him get his comeuppance.
>>344115520
put your talents into multiple trees. DEFINITELY DEFINITELY get the perk in alchemy tree that causes ALL POTIONS to restore health. Best decision I made.
>>344128659
>/v/eddit can claim this unironically
No wonder the entire industry ignores this place.
Only thing that could make the industry get worse would be by paying attention to what the ''people'' in here say.
>>344128698
The entire philosophy and purpose of a Witcher is to protect humans from chaotic evils even if they're assholes? Not only that, but Geralt would banish the devil just to brag about it.
>>344127315
I beat Witcher 2 on dark mode, but Witcher 3 is kicking my ass so hard right now (i'm on blood and broken bones). Having a separate dodge and roll key and having to switch to a sign with one button then press another to use it is driving me absolutely fucking bonkers.
>>344128659
>trash ass vehicle controls
The vehicle controls were the same as in GZ, and they don't feel bad at all.
They decided to go for a more realistic approach and make them slower, that's all.
>>344128895
Roll is utter garbage. Just get the i-frames skill in the Combat tree and abuse the dodge.
>>344128861
Kay, then fuck off back to neogaf if the truth is too hard for you to handle. Suck off unfinished turds somewhere else this is a thread about a game that actually has some effort put in it.
>>344128823
>I detested Olgierd and I wanted to see him get his comeuppance.
Why?
>>344127190
Is that supposed to be Dandelion at the top?
Best thing about the new expansion is that it levels you so high you don't have to worry about swapping out your gear until late in ng+.
>>344129002
>TW3
>effort
>all gameplay is trash
lol
>>344126681
This.
playing MGSV ruined this fucking horse for me, Roach can suck my dick.
>>344128698
It wasn't a deal made in good faith. No sane society would ever uphold that sort of contract. O'Dimm specifically preys on people who have no choice or feel they have no choice. Then he uses twisted genie logic to turn their wishes into shit.
>>344129002
>the truth
The truth according to /v/eddit, AKA, the opposite of what the majority think.
>>344128932
They were also total dogshit in GZ but that's not what the game was half composed of. I'd almost be able to stomach it in TPP if the open world weren't so god damn fuck ugly for all that time you spend driving through it.
>>344129213
Whatever you have to tell yourself you sad little faggot .
>>344129050
No, Dandelion is not present. From top to bottom it's Angouleme,Regis Cahir, Milva.
>>344129219
It was quite beautiful considering it was a game that ran at 30 FPS on the PS3.
>>344127758
>By default it's 70% of your maximum Toxicity.
Also, decoctions don't seem to trigger the overdose health DoT. On my playthrough, I chug 4 decoctions and im like 280/284 toxicity, but I don't get overdosed (even without the skill). I only get the DoT when I chug a potion.
>>344129295
But the majority also thinks MGSV is good.
No one outside this virgin echo-chamber thinks GZ was better, hell, this place is the only one that remembers GZ exists.
>>344129295
Look at that, 23 GOTY awards for MGSV.
How much did GZ get?
Ripoff of the week award?
>>344129383
Let's see a good looking screenshot of Africa, bud. Not a sad little corner of Afghanistan that is a pitiful bare minimum effort to sell a AAA standard game for 60 dollars.
>>344129314
I'm not far enough into Swallow's Tower yet, I guess. I should really finish that shit before lurking these threads.
>>344129041
The titular heart of stone: adrenaline junkie; he makes deals with the devil for personal gain and tries to get away with it without consequence; leads a band of roving raiders, was a shithead to his wife and her family; sold out his brother. He's a despicable dude, even if they wanna claim that he did most of that after he began to lose his emotions. Lastly, in a roleplaying sense, he said he'd help with Ciri and that takes precedence over a code or moral obligation.
>>344129190
How is it not done in good faith? Olgierd worded his wish precisely because he knew Gaunter would use any weak point to turn it against him
Olgierd knew exactly what he was getting into
>>344129601
Its not that big of a deal.
>>344129485
The only negative to GZs reception was rightfully that this Kojima asshole thought he could sell a demo for 20 dollars.
Aside from that TPP has not one mission that is better or more complex or difficult than GZ. TPP is a godless abomination that should be ditched in a hole in New Mexico by comparison
>>344129936
>Aside from that TPP has not one mission that is better or more complex or difficult than GZ
There's no difficulty in GZ.
There's two prisoners, you have to take them to the heli.
There's one of those filler missions where you have to rescue two targets before the escort arrives and takes them away.
That alone is more complex than GZ.
>>344129608
Doesn't matter. He's a human. It's your entire purpose to protect him from evil. Geralt would not make a deal with the devil even for Ciri any answer otherwise is your own emotion and instinct.
Helping Gaunter is the worst idea ever.

Nah, it's not more complex than Glaz and Palitz(unless you abuse the sniper rifle) and there are way less guards and no punishment for going loud in TPP to prove it.
>>344129608
>even if they wanna claim that he did most of that after he began to lose his emotions.
How you can literally type this out and still come to your conclusion, I've no fucking clue. Olgierd's crimes are near universally the direct result of the curse O'Dimm inflicted upon him.
The only mistake he made was in agreeing to the deal in the first place. Something he did in a moment of desperation. O'Dimm knew this, which is why he targeted him. No different than when he targeted Geralt after he was captured by the Ofieri.
>>344129651
>Olgierd worded his wish precisely because he knew Gaunter would use any weak point to turn it against him
Huh? No he fucking didn't. He gave you seemingly impossible tasks because he didn't want you to succeed. His wish was simply to regain his stolen fortune, win his love, and live each day as if there were no tomorrow. O'Dimm twisted this, rendering him immortal and cold. Nothing about this suggests Olgierd knew what he was getting into and had tried to precisely word his wish to avoid issue.
>>344129587
Was going to play some now.
Will post screenshots.
>>344130230
>Geralt would not make a deal with the devil even for Ciri
I don't know about that. Geralt is nearly willing to do anything for her. Only thing Geralt thought was too much was killing an innocent girl and framing her as Ciri, but if Geralt had to make a deal with Gaunter to save Ciri he would.

There's no punishment for going loud in GZ either.

What do you think the three impossible tasks are for? And the "standing on the moon" clause?
He tried to create a pact which Gaunter would be unable to fulfill

>>344130414
Sorry mate. Olgierd made his decisions and he's to pay the price. I don't care if he was rocking a cold, dead heart nor do I care where or who that heart sprung from. I sided with Gaunter in that circumstance, but that's not to say I would always do so.
>>344130538
>There's no punishment for going loud in GZ either.
Wrong, reinforcements never stop coming in GZ. TPP provides no reinforcements, and has way less guards, even stealth is more complex because of this since they are always trailing each other in GZ, never in TPP

It's like you dont even want to not suck
>>344130761
And? Those were only the conditions upon which O'Dimm got his soul. It's obvious that Olgierd expected O'Dimm to be true to the spirit of the agreement. Instead, he twisted the wish and rendered Olgierd immortal and unfeeling.
This is precisely what is meant by "good faith." O'Dimm emphasizes the letter of the contract and ignores the spirit because it's to his benefit. He knows exactly what Olgierd wished for, but he doesn't care. His only goal is to harvest souls.
>>344131201
>I'm the shittiest Witcher ever and I'm okay with that
Well alright
>>344131304
So what? How does that make Olgierd the victim in this situation when he clearly knew exactly what he was getting himself into? He even brags about how Gaunter will never fulfill the pact
>>344131201
You realize that the real world has systems in place to protect against this predatory behavior? Pretending like Olgierd and O'Dimm entered into this arrangement on equal terms is beyond retarded.
>>344131535
Are you retarded? In what sense did Olgierd know that he was going to be rendered an immortal, unfeeling freak?
>>344131362
>>344131582
Fuck off. I'm not pretending anything of the sort. And this isn't the real world. It was a game. Get off your moral high-horse.
>>344131845
Dude, you're making a moral argument. You can't, on the one hand, say Olgierd's getting his just desserts and on the other bitch about how it's just a game and so it doesn't matter whether society at large has agreed contracts of this nature are predatory.
>>344131714
Are you retarded? Why would he intentionally create what he thought was an unbreakable pact if he assumed Gaunter would honor the intentions of his wish rather than the precise wording?
It isn't Geralt's responsibility to protect Olgierd from his bad choices
>>344131245
>Wrong, reinforcements never stop coming in GZ
They do, actually.
If you kill the 39 soldiers in the main mission, you are effectively alone in the entire map.
>>344132234
We know exactly what Olgierd's wording is, dipshit. He straight up tells you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI6QHE_RJlo
>I wished to win back Iris' hand and have my fortune restored. And then to live like there was no tomorrow.
Whether Olgierd though O'Dimm would deal in good faith or not is immaterial. O'Dimm didn't. He twisted the wish because it got him what he wanted. Why you're defending this monkey paw motherfucker, I've no fucking idea.
>>344132097
I'm not, at least not in what you're trying to do. And I can. Because they're not related.
One is my personal morality that I exercised in a game. The other is a general morality regarding our society, a society that is in no way like the one dealt with in said game. There are no magical, mythical monsters we deal with in everyday life. Just the human ones.
You done proselytizing yet?
>>344132583
How can you possibly be this stupid? The existence of magic and monsters doesn't change anything. Do you also think science fiction can't say anything about the modern world because of spaceships and virtual reality?
The fact that O'Dimm is literally bargaining for souls means that his contracts should require even greater scrutiny to be deemed ethical, not less.
So theres no more witcher?
Geralt story is done?
>>344133080
There is a film being made. If you are talking about the games than there might be more but it won't be about Geralt.
>>344133080
Who knows, however Witcher is pretty much geralts story in a world where he and his friends are celebrities, I dont see what direction cdpr would take with another game set in the same world.
>>344132361
>picking the one spot we've seen in all the trailers that is 1/1000th of the ugly trash in Africa to take a screenshot
I'm not stupid bud. I played the game and know how bad the map looks. You and I both know that's one sad pathetic little morsel where nothing happens.
>>344132542
Because his reasoning doesn't matter. He's a human and Offered is evil incarnate. You're a pussy and failed at everything a Witcher is supposed to stand for
>>344132940
You're the one frantically raving about how our society doesn't allow or condone Gaunter's shit and I pointed out that our reality and the Witcher setting are not the same and so shouldn't be held to the same standards. We don't even have souls while obviously entities in the Witcherverse do, or at the very least some form of crucial life-giving essence. Can you not separate fantasy and reality?
Look here chucklefuck; I gave you my reasons and the reasons behind those damn reasons. You disagree by claiming some objective, moral prerogative that you insist exists and that anyone who doesn't see it is blind and stupid. You're projecting your own framework onto a world that clearly isn't suited for it and you're acting like a petulant child to anyone who disagrees.
I'm also not debating the ethics involved. People make mistakes. Olgierd made his. Geralt may have made one in my game by siding with Gaunter. But we'll never know.
Now kindly fuck off back to whatever hole you crawled out of.
>>344133889

>>344134038

I just told you Geralt wouldn't have chosen that and you're a retard and a pussy for dodging a fight with the devil.
>>344134226
Uh, Nah. Not really.
>>344115520
Don't spec alchemy, it's OP and makes the game too easy. Go deep combat and be a glass cannon.
>>344134038
>Can you not separate fantasy and reality?
Once again, you're completely retarded. Fantasy has no bearing on this. Whether O'Dimm's contract is ethical has nothing to do with the fact that O'Dimm is some sort of demon. Like I said, if you think the fact that this is fantasy changes anything, then you should be even more critical of O'Dimm's deals. In the real world, you stand to lose property, money. In this fantasy world, you stand to lose your soul. Why the fuck do you think the one with far greater consequences should face less scrutiny?
>I gave you my reasons and the reasons behind those damn reasons.
Your reasoning was that Olgierd entered into the agreement, therefore he lives with the consequences. But unless you're a fucking idiot, simply entering into an agreement doesn't mean you must abide by all terms. Unless you also believe capitulating to blackmail or coercion means you're irrevocably tied into those agreements, too.
O'Dimm specifically preys on the desperate and then refuses to abide by the spirit of the agreement except where it suits him. He's explicitly a predator, a collector of souls. He says this himself, for fuck's sake. But instead of recognizing him as targeting the desperate and helpless, you act as though he proposes these agreements in good faith and on equal terms.
If you truly believe this, you are retarded. If you can't deal with being called on this, then stop publicly saying retarded things.
>>344134226
MGSV really suffered from also being on last gen consoles
You can tell they made accommodations for that
>>344134805
Yeah, the polygon count is really low.
They really put a lot of work in the illumination.
>>344134805
You can also tell they rushed half the map like fuck and what wasn't rushed was already subpar
>>344132542
And he applies the clauses for Gaunter to collect his soul knowing they make the pact unlikely to be resolved
But it's fine for Olgierd to cheat because he's a human or something?
>>344135538
Yeah. I kill monsters, Gaunter is a monster as evil as they come. Stop being an emotional little bitchboy it's not your role to judge, this is very simple.
>>344135780
You sound really smart
>>344128895
>playing with keyboard
>>344135538
It's not cheating. Olgierd's terms are up front. O'Dimm never had to agree to the contract. By contrast, O'Dimm twists the deal after the fact. Olgierd wouldn't have agreed were he to understand how O'Dimm meant to fulfill his wishes.
>>344135848
It doesn't take a fucking genius to know Geralt wouldn't help Gaunter based on these principles. You cloud your judgement because evil is charming and humans are assholes. Geralt would never pick evil and you are a retard and a failure.

I really wanted to like the witcher but I could never get used to the awkward controls. I've played for 40 hours but have never been able to pass a corner properly.
>>344137591
Yeah, the horse controls are really improvable.
>>344137457
Why would you need to use potions so frequently that you need to meditate that often?

>>344137318
The saddle also fears/stuns an opponent, which helps if your play style is like mine, and you charge your horse into the middle of a group then quick dismount. The runeword with auto-quen helps too, as well as the instakill on a full speed attack.
>>344138118
Really desaturated tbqh.
>>344135942
Because you know the inner workings and machinations of all the characters, including Geralt, Gaunter, and Olgierd. Okay.

That stun effect is not useful at all.
And this runeword is the worst too. You can just cast Quen yourself.
