>2024>No one ever talks about Witcher 3 anymoreNow that the hype is over, can we agree it was overrated as heck?
the combat was shit but the writting and exploration was hella good
still wank to ciri (x Geralt or x Fat fuck) and yen (x BBC) to this date
>>695139423Oh, Gwent? Yeah it was great. Weird that they added a whole open world to a card game but whatever.
i dont remember posting in this thread
>>695139423Not a lot left to be said, it was a perfect game that was talked about and praised for like 5 years. Now i'm just enjoying the futa porn.
>>695139543
Hella mid and it felt like your average Ubishitter game.
Hella
>>695139543>ciri (x Geraltunfathomably based. it's only the natural conclusion to their relationship>yen (x BBCundathomably cringe. yen is a whore, but she only fucks men who elevate her to positions of power i.e ugly bastards.
>>695139423CDPR kinda shit the bed after Witcher 3They've lost all respect
>>695139543for me it's Ciri x Yen x Triss x Anna Henrietta (as futas) and Yen x shotas
>>695139423no. hearts of stone and blood and wine are some of the best rpg experiences you can have
>>695139423Yah, I was hoping mods improved it but the heavy narrative focus on Geralt makes that imppossible. So you just get a shitty Medieval Rockstar-clone.
>>695139423we talked about it for years, anon. it's just that action rpg arena is plenty competitive so people move on.
for me its ciri getting defeat raped by monsters with the best one being that animation of her losing to a werewolf and getting fucked for a whole day in a yoke and then getting dragged behind a horse
>>695139423Do you regularly talk about things 9 years after they come out?
NGL I played it and just couldn't that deep into it.
>>695140146yea
>>695139423BG3 made it look like trash.
>>695139423why are people still doing this dumb ass blue border shit fuck off
>>695139423No, still top ten ever
>>695139423I love my ugly daughterwife
>>695139423It became outdated fast. Botw, RDR2 and Elden Ring made it irrelevant in the open world genre. The studio shit away all their good will with 2077 too.
>>695140146>nine yearsMaybe more
>>695139423I'm afraid it's been... nine years
>>695139423Witcher 4 is going to be such a woke shitshow, CDPR are lost.
>>695140146I discussed Skyrim at length in two threads yesterday
>>695140420Can't wait for the streamer cameos god i hope they make asmongold a npc
>>695140524you mean hassan
>>695139423BANANA TAIGAH
>>695139423>mfw contract negotiation mechanic exists, and gets used precisely once to show off how it works
>>695140306my daughterwife is the prettiest. you take that back!
>>695139423Still mad Iorveth was completely cut out and forgotten.
ciri getting fucked by nekkers is top tier
>>695139423i occasionally think about her getting tickle tortured on her tummythat's about it
>>695139423Been replaying it this month. Still loving Gwent like it was 10 years ago
>>695139423nah its a great game
>>695140306ciri's beauty is mesmerizing you tasteless swine
>>695143996imagine going to bed with ciri, kissing her scar, spooning while hugging her tummy.
>>695139913Witcher 4 will sell ten million copies day one and /v/ will seethe about it for years.
>>695144504Witcher 4 is on UE5 CDPR has already given up
>>695140146https://youtu.be/jp3DNiTmcE8?t=233
>>695139990das rite.
This unveils right before you...what do you do ? https://files.catbox.moe/ht3dhb.mp4
>>695144729Choke on it obviously
>>695144729That isn't how erections work.
>>695139423No we can't, its great and you are a retard.
>>695144274that is a pleasure reserved only for her faithful husband (me !)
>>695145201her does
>>695139543Ciri is my go to character for testing lewd gen prompts in stable diffusion. Usually have her get fucked by various small critters, dogs, and fat black men.
>>695146298now generate her with a nekker
Reading all of the books will unironically make you love Game Ciri more and like Game Yen exponentially lessCAPTCHA: wgggr

>>695147475
If erdtree is allowed to participate in goty then blood and wine should've won goty for whatever year it was made in.
>>695147557Shit like this is still present, btw
>>695139423>overratedThere is no other game with such writing and worldbuilding.They compare Veilguard with BG3 because Wild Hunt plays in another league.
>>695147697
the only problem with witcher 3 is that the eredin fight is ass and barely has any backstory reasoning other than all the shitty main game, which was awesome aesthetically and the general boss before that with the crones is kino but it still doesn't explain why eredin is the really big bad guy or ciri's powers are that important or wtf the endings of the main game mean, before the DLC blows your mind with more witcher 2 like based lorethe really gimped part of the game is eredin, everything else is pretty awesomemaybe someone will fix it with redkit because he is just plain boring compared to the choices gaunter o'dimm offers you
>>695140875because like with ever rpg you're quickly drowning in money
>>695145784>>695144274>>695143996take ur meds
>>695148267i take the ciripill everyday
>>695144729why is it always comically large cocks with you futafags
>>695148056>Radovid questline and its ending in particular>make it Radovid character as a whole, "muh crazy King talking to his pawns">Dijkstra deciding to commit suicide by Geralt after his brain mysteriously stops working (awful writing)>trying to push a sense of urgency because the Wild Hunt could attack Kaer Morhen at any second but Geralt just ride all over the place to talk to people and nothing happens>supporting Ciri in her talk with the notoriously manipulative sorceresses is a bad thing for some reasonThere are plenty of frustrating problems, the last part of the base game is a letdown.
>>695139423>That's Yen's chokerHot. Kinda wish my GF would wear my mom's lingerie and fuck her that way.
The ending is fucking shit
>>695139543BasedI like Ciri with Emhyr too
>>695148891>anon discovers that gay men with a homo fetish are gay
>>695148462Based af
>>695148897Yeah you could really feel that the last act was rushed as fuckApparently there was huge swaths of cut content, including Avalla'ch being the final villain
>>695151384Is this made from scratch? I don't remember any sex scene where the girl is that coy about it
>>695139423This bitch looks trans-coded
>>695151820model swap
>>695139423i really like the music, open-world, story, and female designsbut the game has way too much dialogue and not as much gameplay to be utilizedthere's also too much content around the world that it makes the quests feel more like a chore
>>695151909Which bitch does Geralt fuck that is so sweet about it?
>>695151384deranged freak
>>695139423>w3 coompostingeh>bait questionDepends. Purely gameplay and storywise - W3 is massively overrated. Still probably best mix of european ambience and soulful landscapes in gaming so far. If you never went for long treks through woods, swamps and hills, if you never spent a winter in a log cabin eating sauerkraut, rye bread and salted herring, if you never swept your porch from dried up mix of mud and grass, if you never lost yourself in dusty mythology books - you wouldn't get it.
>>695152745Give KCD a try if you haven't.
>>695139528They fixed the combat just by adding quick cast for signs 8 years later, it was unplayable before it.All of Velen was 10/10 RPG, great story and characters.
Ciri x horse
>>695139543yennefer is such a goated hotwife mommy
>>695139423I played it for the first time during this summer and it's better than I thought
never played 3, but the smut is decentfrom the outside looking in, it doesn't look that impressive that it got game of the decade
>>695154093Based
>>695139423Witcher 3 is overrated but it is still a 9/10 game
>>695139423I've been saying this shit was trash for years.
>>695154595god i want her to ruin me
post more
>>695154405I recognize this video!
>>695139423I went on a Witcher 1 to 3 marathon. It was fun.
>>695156656same but now im replaying 3rd one with DLCs its like 200% of content
>>695139543I regularly jerk off to sfm of ciri fucking a botchling
>>695156813well post it then
>>695148462>cirifag is still posting on /v/ after all these years
>>695149748>Apparently there was huge swaths of cut content, including Avalla'ch being the final villainthat much was obvious. they even try to throw in a final twist with avallac'h kidnapping ciri while geralt & eredin kill each other. i'm curious how that storyline would have played out because when the team had their heads on straight, they wrote some of the most engaging nuanced storytelling in vidya.now i don't expect much from cdpr, since the majority of the witcher trilogy team left & cyberpunk happened.
>>695156970I honestly hate that the majority of the witcher trilogy team left. The management couldn't have been that bad.
>>695156968Is she such insufferable retarded cunt because Gerlt refused to fuck her and she now tries to emulate the women he likes?
>>695156656waiting for the remake to come out to even touch 1. Then possibly replay all 3.
>>695139423Nah, I really loved it. It's a really good game.
>>695156968This is weird
>>695157369It will be worse than the original.
>>695156912Im at least pretty sure it wouldnt be allowed on v but its pretty easy to find if you search the botchling, or ciri tags on certain boorus
>>695157804Good thing I have nothing to compare it to then.
>>695139423>can we agree it was overrated as heck?no, we can never agree on anything.
>>695157283But she's a sweet girl and Geralt has been fucking her for a while
no. i still play it from time to time. young geralt with muscle mod is my husbando.
>>695156968and after all these years you keep corrupting your soul by posting demented garbage, sad !
>>695140129how horrible. where would such animations be found? i need to make sure i don't accidentally stumble on them.
>>695158362I appreciate you defending the honor of my wife, you're such a bro.
>>695158352>not going full young bishounen Geralt If you're going to break the lore at least go all out, fag
>>695158435kek
10 years later and people are still making daily threads about itamazing really
>>695139423STFU you didn't play it on release
>>695139423What the fuck, how do I un-watch this thread?
>>695159042one of only two games i've ever pre-ordered (the other was nier automata lmao)I remember it being an amazing experience because I enjoyed the setting/exploration, but I tried loading it up again a month ago and couldn't get past the opening cutscenes. I just don't give a shit about women and romance subplots I just want to get out and smash some nekkers.
isn't Ciri a lesbo
>>695159114it's some sort of spell...
>>695151384>>695156968all the semen i spilled in those threads will have a special place in my heart.
>>695159461i'm sorry but ciri is just BUILT for something else, geralt can watch though
where the 3d futa webms tho
>>695158352What's the armor retexture?
>>695149748>>695149748>>695156970Or even the cut ending section where Yennefer betrays the Lodge to Emhyr. I really wish we could see a game with all of the cut sections. I wish they could have at least fleshed out the whole Radovid and Dijkstra sections though and not made them so out of character from the books/previous games
>>695139423I slogged through it. I was ready for it to be over for like 50 hours. Pretty much the only interesting thing to be found in it is the environment work. The narratives are HBO tier melodrama and the combat/gameplay in general is riddled with nekker problems. The people are handled poorly but it's probably the best rendition of medieval towns that you'll find, it borders on virtual tourism. Also the checkboxes that Ciri checks for Mary Sue are so blatant even with casual observation that it's baffling how little anyone notices, it borders on parody but no one says psyche.
>>695153015>Quick cast for signsWut, you bind a key for it? When I played on console there was the sign changing while blocking, that shit was fine.
>>695158154you will play it and you will know it's worse despite never playing the original, then you will decide to play the original.
>>695139423We do not agree. Furthermore, you are talking about it right now and you are also a faggot.
>>695154405The absolute state of /v/
>>695161085Yea, you can bind the 1,2,3... keys and just press and it will cast. The game instantly went from garbage to great, especially after the sign buffs that came with next gen.Imagine playing game with magic and choosing to going full melee, I will never understand the appeal.
>>695139423the combat was so shit i quit at the first boss
>>695139543>>695139672>>695139863>>695139962>>695140129The fuck is wrong with you
>>695159356only in the non-canon books, witcher 3 ciri is as pure as the virgin snow>>695158508MY wife
It took me 9 years to beat TW3. I started on launch day, got bored 5 hours in, then started over again in 2022 and beat it a few months ago. Ultimately I think it's pretty good while also being horribly repetitive in every way.Is Blood & Wine worth playing? I know it's beloved but is it just more of the same with a pretty looking location? I was excited to play it but by the end of the game I was fucking over it.
>>695158362"It is natural and beautiful that a man should love his daughter." Too bad he is not her real father
>>695162816>Is Blood & Wine worth playing? I know it's beloved but is it just more of the same with a pretty looking locationYes and yes
>>695162816The writing feels completely different from the rest of the game, just play if after month or so. After finishing the game I wanted more and tried playing it but felt like garbage so I just played the whole Velen act on NG+ instead before being done with the game.
>>695164047Are you saying the writing in B&W feels different in a good way?
>>695159356Was a bisexual slut in her rebellious teenage phase. Your typical rich white chick playing hoodrat hoe type of story, but in fantasy setting.>>695162329>Imagine playing game with magic and choosing to going full melee, I will never understand the appeal."canon" Gerarudo is a weak magician, signs are basically bit above cheap parlor tricks in-universe. Igni isn't fucking directed explosive-napalm-thermite charge, its more like a camping gas torch in terms of power. For what its worth i was autistic enough to play melee+bombs+elixirs build and its still was broken as fuck
>>695164309Alchemy build is the most fun anywayYou're a superhuman juiced up mutant, that's the fun part of being Witcher besides the free-range sex
>>695139423Nope, it's still pure kino.
>>695164139In a bad way, feels like they hired some fan from reddit to do the writing and CDPR just retouched to make it passable. B&W felt like doing the Dandelion quest but it's 20 hours DLC instead.
>>695164557I don't think it's that badThe new lore on vampires is retarded yes, but the DLC transfered Regis from the books to a fucking tee
>>695164309I wouldn't say being raped by a dyke as the underling of a gang and then developing stockholm syndrome qualifies as bisexual hood rat in fantasy settings
>>695162693>witcher 3 ciri is as pure as the virgin snow
>>695140210This pain is ours, and no one else's.
>>695139543cringe af
nobody talks about witcher 3 because of futafags and bbc fags. It shits up every thread about it
>>695162816I thought it was peak comfy. The environment, music, dialogue, etc. are noticeably more lighthearted than the base game, but there's also just the right amount of grimness in the main story that cuts through that facade of tranquility. It had an amazing atmosphere distinct from the base game, essentially. Almost felt like a vacation going there after the base game, and it wrapped up Geralt's story satisfyingly. Somewhat unpopular opinion, but I thought it was better than Hearts of Stone. Also, Regis is based.
>>695164806Ask these ghetto hangarounds chicks how they got stuck with a hood crowd, answer will be eerily similar, my brother in christ. Maybe a bit less violence and more drugs but the gist remains the same.
>>695164658Might be me having too high expectations after Velen because I just expected more characters like the Bloody Baron, The Pellar and the Crones while helping godforsaken peasants and killing monsters. Exploring Velen was 10/10 RPG experience.
>>695139423Legit dogshit game, witcher 3 is what made me stop paying any attention whatsoever to what reddit/4chan/video game "journalists" The only people I know who like it only did because it looked good on pc2 was pretty okay
>>695164827you just proved my point dummy
>>695165496Velen is indeed the highlight of the game in characters, atmosphere and quest designAlthough I'd say Hearts of Stone manages to surpass itToussaint is gorgeous and Regis is great, but that's about it
I want to impregnate Ciri
>>695165782But the old woman is smelling the gallons of semen Ciri took inside her
>>695165782thoughts on Witcher 4 starring Ciri?
>>695166881modern pozzed cdpr would defile her, wont pay it no mind
>>695165782>>695165912Does this facial expression looks like a girl's who just inadvertently revealed in front his father that she's a virgin?
>>695167906yes, she's just a little embarrassed that someone announced such intimate information about her out loud
>>695140146people still talk about skyrim consistently.
>>695166961How would she be?>no cute eyeshadow>no tight pants hugging that perfect ass and legs>no cleavage>no bare tits scene>mannish facial features
>>695148891>"Futa isn't gay bro!" >all futa art focuses on the male sexual organ and revolves around giving the male sexual organ to females.
We didn't know how good we had it in 2015. The Witcher 3 is really good as it is and would be near perfect with relatively small changes.
>>695139423I 100%ed it like 3 times back in the day so I don't know if I could ever return to it, utter burn out from knowing everything. But aye, that was 300 hours of fun so it was good.
>>695151384
>>695164827Canonically though, had she actually? I could never recall if she did
>>695162475Being black in a white man's world is suffering. You could never understand my pain.
>>695151384I didn't know we could post mp4.
>>695169000they'd give her a tranny jaw like discount ciri shadowheart, a dyke haircut, baggy pants, flatten her butt and make her abrasive to every one she talks too, sad !
>>695169524Not in the books, she almost does it but the guy expires before he can put inIt's implied she and Galahad may fuck though
>>695148891>>695169040futa is fine, but I agree that I hate the super fetishists that make the cocks large as the focus. Like the whole point of futa is to make yuri better. But yes, some men are just gay like that
>>695170160idk bro I'd still rather have a man screwing the chick. But I can't get off to spectator view porn anyway so I never saw the appeal of futa. Also 99% of the art is hyper focused on the cock so I think most futa fags are just in the closet.
>>695170367It does make finding futa art hard cause as you said, they like just showing off this large dick. I would say at least 60% of futa art is just that. Pages and pages of just large cocks, sometimes going into a guy. It's no different from the coomers who like extra large breasts. I like to call it almost a mental illness at that point.
>>695169721don't forget she'd be a lesbian.
>>695170573I'm in a similar boat with preg art. It's always gross shit like bugs/insects and when it isn't it's ntr.
>>695139543yen only fucks fat ugly men for money and she does it without a condom. her pussy is barren anyway.
>>695170367It is. They'll swear up and down that it's straighter than normal sex but once they're convinced that only the initiated are still paying attention then it's all cock worship. It's an exercise in bashing yourself into finding a "hetero" way to consume dicks.
The ultimate male fantasy is to raise a young girl to be intelligent and beautiful. Then take her as my wife.
>>695169820>Not in the books, she almost does it but the guy expires before he can put inYeah that's all I had remembered>It's implied she and Galahad may fuck thoughOh, I forgot about that part
>>695139423>There are people on this threat who will choose Yen over Triss
>>695140146Yes
>>695171290I always found strapons really unappealing, like tofu turkey. If you want to be penetrated just be hetero.
>>695171316Triss fucked Lambert and he fled out of her bedroom window to prevent geralt from finding out. Both choices are bad.
>>695171290Skip ahead in the script bro, we know where it ends up.
>>695171316Yen is hotter thoughTriss isn't even the hottest redhead in the game
>>695171532Ive been into futa for ever and it ended up where it started. I dont know what else you expect
>>695140461Skyrim doesn't count. It actively gets mods and new content.
>>695152745this is how I felt as well - I liked Velen the best out of all the areas - it felt unique and real, soon as I got to the more generic fantasy areas it totally took me out of the more grim, dismal Witcher-y mindset.
>>695171697I really liked the Skellige scenery, but the villages and people really didn't have the gritty Velen feel
>>695171579Hang around when more of your kind show up and you'll understand.
>>695171836You dont have to tell me. I just ignore them and dread their existence for adding more huge cock r34 to the world.
>>695171890I think you're a unicorn bro.
>>695172006there's more like me. trust me, the only people who like the HUEG cock shit are a minority with too much expendable income.
>>695172062>no you didn't understand, I'm the real futa fan, based and trad in how I like my women with cocks. It's these others are cringe and gay
>>695172545I mean he's less gay than others I suppose...
>>695144609Witcher 4 sounds like it will be Bioware tier slop, every piece of news about it sounds like a trainwreck
>>695139423No black people. It's unplayable
>>695169721>>695169000I think I've already seen this formula somewhere...
>>695139423>overrated as heckbut op, all the characters have the /v/ approved skin colour... isn't it blasphemy to call it overrated as heck?
>>695166118Strip gwent with Ciri
>>695162475Acks like you seethe.
>>695166118she's so bad ass
>>695139423I’m halfway through Velen, when does it get good? So far it’s like a Ubisoft/Rockstar open world game copycat which can barely call itself an RPG>embarrassing combat>primitive quests that all play out literally the same>quantity over quality approach >pointless choices>awful leveling and progression >bad loot, lacks impact >dumbed down automated alchemy >witcher formulas just lying in any random chest >elixirs last too short >world is large but you can go only to some areas devs chose >static uneventful locations with only illusion of activity>motivation is weak - why should the player care about finding Ciri?>overall the game is easy to the point of being boring The game is clear step down from Witcher 1 that was an actual masterpiece
>>695144609>>695139913Key people who made CDPR what it is today left en masse after Witcher 3. Guess going public and importing California mind virus victims with ESG money doesn't sit well with everybody, huh? Who's still at the company who's familiar with the inner workings of REDengine? Let alone has enough talent and experience to spearhead the development of Re5? CP2077 was marginally affected by this as development first started back in 2013 and REDengine 4 was still being worked on in 2017. UE5 was only the final piece of the slopification puzzle if you will. Can you imagine having talented, well-proven specialists who might have leverage due to their familiarity with your custom engine instead of cheap, infinitely replaceable cogs with questionable knowledge and/or political leanings? The horror!
>>695139423>never got to fuck one of the twin sisters>never got to fuck that herbalist in the beginning
>>695177737this
>>695175625Where are you with the quests of the Bloody Baron and Keira? Novigrad will be a more concentrated experience while Skellige emphasizes the raw, adventurous side with the islands and billion Smuggler's caches. To be frank, I enjoyed all three for different reasons.>awful leveling and progressionBeing constantly over-leveled is inevitable if you do side content too. By the time I exhausted all 3 regions where you're looking for Ciri I was level 31 and the main quest that takes you further had a suggested level of 19. It'll be this bad. The main takeaway here is to always try to focus the lowest level content in your Journal, as XP values gets reduced past a level 5 difference (e.g. if you're LVL16 when completing a LVL10 quest you won't get full XP), while 10 level difference means no XP reward whatsoever. The main quest might be an exception but I'm not sure, so prioritizing side content too is advisable. For the reasons above doing quests (way) above your level is counter-intuitive too.>bad loot, lacks impact B/c it was designed to get you gear multiple level lower than your current. In short Witcher gear rules them all. Too bad using them invalidates every other loot - that's why I only used the armors and only for the MQ. My swords were all Relics 6-7 below my level and I had dedicated "adventuring" outfits assembled from looted/crafted gear. It'll keep your screenshots fresh! Otherwise just rock Witcher gear and call it a day. Oh and make sure to Dismantle anything that contains the most expensive components (Cured Draconid Leather, Dimeritium/Glowing ore, Flawless gems, Meteorite etc.) as they're required for Witcher gear and cost an arm and leg otherwise.>motivation is weakNot weak "just" unexplained. That's indeed a narrative weakness, even if you realize In W1 Ciri was replaced by Alwin. I'd say read her Journal entry but it's surprisingly spoiler-y (and not just hers...), it revealed me stuff that only happened like 30 hours later.

So did any good mods ever come out for W3?
The gear treadmill was absolute ass because all of your equipments for weak as shot after like 3 levels and the gambesons look fucking ass.
>>695139543Yenn x BBC is so fucking good man. I honestly don't know why.
>>695188702>make one of the coolest armor sets in video games>obsolete in 31 seconds>every single piece of non-witcher gear either looks horrible, or not as good>every single witcher set isn't as cool as the default armor>witcher gear is so busted that everything else has no purpose>half the witcher sets fucking sucklegitimately some of the most insane design ever. it's so bad i installed a levelling mod so that the default gear just levelled with me, which sucks because it's a gear based game, but the fucking gear sucks.
>>695188920And it's baffling how they did not learn from it and just put it back into Cyberpunk.
>>695189004at least cyberpunk has cosmetic slots, but still.
>>695188842bbc porn is always peak, but yen x bbc has me getting the dildo out every time.

>>695188920>obsolete in 31 secondsget the Viper armor. It looks better imo
>>695188920The gear in this game is just bafflingIt's even worse when they fucking gate the upgrades behind NG+
>>695189374the entire system feels like an afterthought. i always felt if you're going to just slap a loot system into a game, but you don't want to get in depth, just look at diablo 2, simplify the hell out of it, or use terraria's system. "iron sword" is worse than "sharp iron sword" and shit like that. make a dozen or so armor sets, give the models some material zones so every piece has 2 metal, fabric, and leather sections or something, so every piece generally looks good together, let the player change those colors, and call it a day. it's barely any work, and you avoid clown shoe syndrome, where you have a bunch of cool armor, but one piece looks retarded, but the stats are too good.
>>695189067It didn't until 2.0.
WTF I DIDNT POST IN THIS THREAD>>695139423Made for BWC
>>695190991No such thing
>>695190991>BWC
>>695188920According to a tip I read selling the Kaer Morhen Armor to a vendor should level it up. So you basically sell it, save the game then reload to buy it back. I haven't tried but it makes sense, as the default armor is classified as Common Armor and I've seen similar happening to gear that I sold. It's worth to notice that it's upgrade (Warrior Leather Jacket) is technically a Witcher Armor, so it might be unaffected by the method.>>695188702I felt this was only an issue for real between the Temerian Armor Set (Level 5) and the first Witcher set (Level 11). The Nilfgaardian set was also there at Level 10 but it's not worth the price tag unless you're a Heavy Armor user or have RP purposes. 4.0 kind of solved this gap with the Dol Blathanna (Level 7) and White Tiger of the West Sets (Level 11) especially that they are free.
>>695191152i believe they also added levelled up versions of the default armor, but i was already using a mod before that. there's a jank cosmetic mod too, but it's kind of shit.

These all suck without exceptionI always fall for the advertising, and then you play it and it's shit, unfun and more poorly balanced than vanilla The worst is all the retards that will say it's the best thing existence and you complaining about it being shit is because you can't handle all the the hardcore bullshit
>>695191368Now its in good state so why not, personally there was something in setting that could not keep me invested in game (and I loved Witcher 3), but my gf loved it... cause romances and female (modded bimbo) protag I guess. So expect different completely experience.
>>695171447Time for another run, thanks anon
>>695188920Only gear category that matters is swords and they all look pretty good and stay relevant for long time too. I don't know why they put resources into non-sword weapons though. For armor set just stick with whatever looks good to you, bonuses are negligible anyway.>death marchStill negligible with how generous the game is with iframes and if you really feel like encounter is way too hard - just use bombs.

>>695139423I will keep saying that it's an alright game with a cool world except for ciri but it has less combat gameplay than the original fable game. You should at least try to do more than that for combat I understand the Witcher abilities are limited but there are definitely more creative interesting ways to use them in realtime.

>>695139913Cyberpunk 2077 is better than Witcher 3 in its current state, and some day /v/ will accept it too, just like they had to accept that about Witcher 3 being better than their other games.Newfags who do not know the initial shitting W3 got here after launch need not reply.
>>695140146OP is false flagging like a faggot anyway, Witcher 3 gets multiple threads here everyday.
>>695188920Only problem with Witcher gear is the levels are fucked up. Even the Griffin, which has the lowest level req at lvl 10, still means you have to run pretty much the entire Velen questline without Witcher armor which is a huge chunk of the game. So your choices until then are the Temerian armor or keeping the starting set, which can be quite tricky later on when even drowners can take you out with a couple of hits.Then in the endgame you can craft the Superior version, and literally just a few quests later upgrade it to the Master crafted one since the game throws out xp like candy at that point.
>>695195430i would have preferred a system where witcher gear is always a thing you can get from a witcher blacksmith at set parts of the game, and it's always good, will get the job done, but is never the best. then fill the loot system with a bunch of stuff that has a chance of dropping better versions>iron sword>sturdy iron sword>master smith iron swordor whatever. couple that with legendary items from legendary quests, and once you get that item, it can be added to the pool in a lore-friendly way. maybe a chance the boss you killed gets manifested again by some force that gives you a chance to drop a better version of the weapon. literally anything would have been better than the dumbass system we got.

>>695196487Yeah, Skellige is fairly representative, I particularly like the lowland area in the southern part of the main island, where multiple rivers join into a delta.Novigrad though, is the single most realistic representation of a bustling medieval city in any game, ever.
its a near 10 year old single player narrative game that still hits 25k players a day on steam without an insane modding community. if a wine and blood type expansion dropped tomorrow it would shoot straight back to the top

It has more players than Veilguard on Steam. lol
>>695184532Holy shit, didn't know that was in there and I beat the game several times. >>695187130Probably the fact that they worked together with Nilfgaard in assassinating several kings of the northern realms to weaken them before the Nilfgaardian invasion. Just a guess.
>>695205351it happens if you don't rescue Triss in the third act, since her testimony leads to radovid only killing the responsible sorceresses instead of literally everyone. but this is retconned in the third game with radovid still just madly killing every mage
>>695182817>saved sile in w2>let keira go in w3yeah im roleplaying as a kind, neutral geralt (i know full well that they deserve what's coming to them and i'm letting them go just so radovid can get his hands on them, the quick easy death of a witcher's blade or an unstable portal is way too lenient)
>>695139423What do you mean "now"? I've been stating TW3 is overrated as fuck for literal years

>>695188569Is that a fucking Hym? How can he fuck her? Possess her and she rubs herself? How, when she is bound like that??
>>695207682he's probably referring to the truth or drink game at kaer morhen
So is there really no way in lore to fertilize sorceresses? The biological urge to turn Yenn into a broodmother is too high.
>>695207893don't remember that mentioning triss or even implying her?
>>695207893>>695208104He's referring to the footprints outside of Triss's room in Witcher 1.
>2024>No one ever talks about Chrono Trigger anymoreNow that the hype is over, can we agree it was overrated as heck?
>>695207830It's a werewolf
>>695208156don't remember that either, big if true
How the hell did Ciri overtake 2B as the most modded character? Almost every game has a ciri mod for no reason.
>>695208980Ciri is a beautiful polish woman with a great personality, it's that simple.
>>695194061>Cyberpunk 2077 is better than Witcher 3 in its current stateNah. Cyberpunk made a big mistake when it decided to have first-person cutscenes instead of third-person cinematics. In a game where there is a huge amount of dialogue, the Half Life 2 approach only serves to underline how excessive that dialogue is and how little is happening in terms of gameplay. You have control of V during these scenes, and that makes you want to move, jump, fight, just DO SOMETHING. But you can't, because you have to wait until the NPCs have finished performing their soap-opera melodrama with each other. And it goes on and on and on and on. And on. And then some more. Cyberpunk doesn't want to let you play Cyberpunk.Witcher 3 was story heavy but it was more concise and judicious in its delivery of narrative, and there was more gameplay in the sandwich. The third-person cinematics made the dialogue easier to watch because the framing imparted a filmic style, and your protagonist was a visible character, physically present in the drama and thus giving it more weight. You also weren't distracted by the freedom to bounce impatiently around the room while NPCs were talking.
>>695139423Yeah, it was shilled to hell and back. Played that shit for like 5 minutes before getting bored of it
>>695182683i'll add this to my bookmarks so i don't forget to not go here. thanks anon.
>>695148891it's almost like futa was made by and for closeted fags who wants to look at big, juicy dicks as long as "it ain't gay, bro"
>>695204896ever noticed bitcher 3 fanboys seethe hard at fnv chads? they seem bitter a game 5 years older with graphics way worse that barely functions without mods is the far superior product
>>695139543For me it's Trish,Yen,Ciri X Geralt.
>>695212579Incredibly based, but r34 only lets me input 3 tags so Yen, Geralt and Circus enough
>>695139423It was good, it just doesn't have the staying power of a true open world fantasy rpg like Skyrim and there's nothing wrong with that
>>695208104>>695207893>>695208156>>695208210It was "debunked" by somebody who played Witcher 1 more recently than I did. Look it up if you want details. In short, the timelines and locations don't match. I think CDPR added it precisely due to it's perceived ambiguity. The same way they included book characters who might seem randos to the players but readers who know their backstory get to enjoy an added dimension to their in-game appearance. A sort of an egg easter egg, if you will.For example see Sasha alias Cantarella alias Carthia van Canten who's revealed to be a spy with Nilfgaardian origins by the end of her quest and a potential romance partner for Geralt. What you don't know is that her specialty was weaponizing sex and downplaying her intellect to acquire information and this is how she ended up being the mistress of Vattier, the head of Emyr's secret service while secretly reporting everything to Lodge founder Assire var Anahid. You know, the one who decompresses Triss in Witcher 2 just to get murdered by Shilard and that bald Impera Brigade commander afterwards. The game is full of little connections like this and most players never connect the dots.
>>695204438this only happens if you're enough of a cuck to make her, it is NOT the canon choice
>>695196880Those are all threads wondering why nobody talks about the Witcher anymore, tho
>>695139423Haven't played it yet and even i know it was game of the decade

>>695164557>>695164658There is definitely something dubious about the writing specifically in B&W. I am not sure about about the chronology of events or goings-on behind the scenes at CDPR, or whether the "good" writers all left before B&W was developed. However, the woke elements/themes in B&W are undoubtedly present, and the whole thing reeks. Like a foul smell from a monster den that's been carried on the wind. The Duchesses' sister is the crux of it all, and one needs only look at the multiple endings the player will inevitably arrive to reach the same conclusion that there was at least one writer in CDPR's board room with some sort of agenda. While it could be argued he isn't, the ostensibly "main" antagonist is literally a vampire who is more bestial than even other vampires. He doesn't have a lot experience in social situations, doesn't understand the nuances behind human interaction, and when loves someone, he does so incredibly possessively. What kind of mental image or concept does this conjure up in your mind? A fantasy "incel." (cont)
>>695222550
>>6952220432015-2016 were the last years before the woke mind virus became a full-fledged epidemic.
>>695223225What happens when this bestial vampire finds out he's been betrayed? Or, in layman's terms, dumped? Ghosted? He spergs out. He goes on a killing spree across the whole of Toussaint. This is mere moments after we're given a cutscene showing Henrietta herself peering into the very heart of Dettlaff, revealing there is more there for us to give sympathy/empathy to than we originally thought--not to mention the swathe of cutscenes we already saw showing how Dettlaff had a softer, more sensitive side, with his toy-making hobby, his ability to grieve over the loss of a friend, etc. But again, what do the writers do after all is said and done? They leave us with three choices. And none of them are good for Dettlaff, the allegorical incel of this DLC. And make no mistake, that is absolutely what the writers were trying to make him with this story. Option 1:>Dettlaff kills SyannaWhile this appears to be the best ending for Dettlaff, it fucks over everyone else. It is also the ending that features the most blatant, blunt-force trauma moral arbitration and brow beating I've ever seen. It is also the least satisfying in how many loose ends it ties up. As if CDPR themselves were telling you to avoid this ending like Regis was to avoid the Unseen Elder at all possible cost. "No, you can't just have a woman be held accountable for her actions! You can't have justice supersede nepotism The vampire MUST die!" Apart from which, this isn't even a good look for Dettlaff either, as it just makes him look even more like a petulant teenager in the form of a vampire with the power to kill almost anything that moves. He doesn't stop to listen, he doesn't stop to at least consider his actions, he just swoops in as a cloud of mist, impales Syanna, and Bob's your uncle. Doesn't elaborate further. Oh, and it makes Regis and Geralt look like retards for not standing IN FRONT of Syanna the entire time they were waiting. (2/3)
>>695224605Detlaff was always a ticking time bomb, Syanna is a piece of shit too, though she has very good reasons for being the way she is, but Detlaff was a crazy fucking sperg, a Witcher version of Elliot Rodger and Regis being a kind-hearted person failed to see all those giant red flags. He had to be put down after what he did, no question about it.
>>695224605Option 2:>Anna, Syanna, and Dettlaff all dieFuck this ending. I doubt I will ever go through B&W after having completed both the main story and Heart of Stone and actually lock this in as my "canon" conclusion to the Toussaint arc. >b-but, best ending!Unfortunately, I read the books. Can't kill off Anna, despite how much I hate how she was written in this one. Moving on. Option 3:>Anna and Syanna forgive each other, the "villain" is defeated, and they all lived happily ever after. ~FinWhile this ending appears to be the best on the surface level, it is actually the most heinous when you think about it for more than five seconds. A disingenuous conclusion from a questionable writer's room. Anna claims she forgives Syanna but will still seek to punish her under the law of Toussaint or whatever. Okay...can we see that due process already? Where is it? I would like to see her be punished. Jailed at least? A hand cut off maybe? ANYTHING? This is a video-game, CDPR. If you don't showcase it in the game then it isn't part of the canon. Then it may as well not have happened at all. Is it in a tie-in novel somewhere? A comic adaptation? Was Syanna punished there? Because from where I'm standing, this ending commits so many cardinal sins of writing it makes me want to puke. It punishes the manipulated (even though Dettlaff wouldn't be seen as innocent in the a court of law. I am well aware) and lets the manipulators off scott free. It rewards the girl bosses and punishes the monster who was merely a puppet on a string. Both sides have blood on their hands, make no mistake. But Syanna is the main villain. She is the main antagonist, not Dettlaff. But the writers do not view it that way. That is the core problem of the writing with this DLC. They clearly wrote Dettlaff as the "incel" and Syanna as the innocent boss babe who just wanted to get over her fucking "crazy ex stalker."
>>695225436>>695224605>>695223225I dunno if we can chalk that up entirely through agendas raging against incels (I'm pretty sure the term hadn't caught up yet)But you are right in that the endings are all some sort of unsatisfactory, except for the everyone happy ending, where Detlaff dies and Syanna doesn't, which feels morally dissonantBut Detlaff is portrayed as sympathetic but still incredibly dangerous and unstable and Syanna is portrayed as a manipulative bitch but with a lot of sympathy in her backstoryI feel like the endings were unsatisfactory because they couldn't really find a way to make multiple endings each with their own satisfaction and bittersweetness in equal but different ways

>>695233478Sure, but it makes Triss even WORSE than herAnd both shit in comparison to Essi
>>695233478Nah
>>695233478*reading the books make Game Yen much more insufferableI've already posted my multi post wall of text explaining why Book and Game Yen are entirely two separate characters. Don't make me copypasta it
>>695235019>Don't make me copypasta itNow I wanna know
>>695235101You asked for it.
>>695235019What I remember noticing is the game being obsessed with selling the idea Yen likes politics and she'd never be able to leave those behind when Book Yen is like, the exact fucking opposite: the was a weird sorceress unlike all others among other things because she had NO interest in politics and cloak and dagger bullshit
>>695233060I've read the books and my canon ending is Geralt living his best life with Ciri in his own vineyard as a wealthy and respected bachelor. The witches can go fuck themselves with their drama, Geralt will have as much prime pussy as he wants as a hero of Toussaint.
Finished reading all of the books, and I have 1915 hours playtime in The Witcher 3. And I cannot for the life of me reconcile Book Yennefer and Game Yennefer. These are two wholly separate and distinct entities. I cannot comprehend the thought process behind the writing for Game Yen, because as it stands she may as well be a Doppler with very poor acting chops merely masquerading as the Lady in black and white. Let me elaborate.Yennefer in the books is indeed manipulative, at least in the beginning. But she is also upfront and candid--about a lot of things--and that goes double for her sexuality and feminine wiles. She is terse with many, but tends to be verbose, emotional, and not least of all, eloquent when around Geralt. This is mentioned in passing in The Witcher 3 very briefly, but it is massively understated by CDPR. In the books, she and Geralt have some of the most poignant and insightful (albeit cutting at times) repartee between each other as only two individuals with such extended lifespans and robust reserves of experience from which either could draw upon can. They understand each other like the backs of their respective hands, which leads me to my next point. Yennefer is incredibly possessive of Geralt. It is almost bestial in nature, despite Blood and Wine conveying unconditional love as something "twisted" or as a concept to be feared or shunned. To which I can only respond by asserting, "bollocks." (1/???)
>>695235418When Yen was around Ciri, she constantly called her "my ugly duckling." She didn't beat around the bush, she didn't mince words, and she rarely, if ever resorted to sarcasm. Sarcasm was definitely more in line with Geralt's character and habits, as he was the bigger cynic. But when Yennefer said something in the books, one paid attention, because it was impactful. This brings me to another facet of the books that CDPR deigned to leave out--Yennefer was in CONSTANT need of saving. She was the quintessential damsel in distress. If there was a moment somewhere in the books in which she uttered"I can take care of myself, Geralt."*SARCASTIC QUIPS AND NAGGING INTENSIFIES*It either happened only once or those moments were few and far between. She needed saving from the Djinn, needed saving from the Golden Dragon, needed saving from Vilgefortz, etc, and she damn near died trying to resuscitate Geralt while Dandelion and Triss just stared on like a bunch of hapless morons (but we'll circle back to that last part later, as that requires a special spot in this diatribe)What is my point in all of this, you ask? Basically, Book Yennefer is not some sarcasm-saturated Beverly Hills girl who treats her boy toy like a verbal (or physical) punching bag. At least not after the initial book in which she makes her first appearance. She is 100x more nuanced, more vulnerable, more sympathetic/empathetic, and infinitely better-spoken in the books. But lastly, and this is the most important one, she isn't a gargantuan hypocrite in the books.(2)
>>695233915>>695234598come on guys she said she was sorry kind of, it was definitely implied.
>>695235501Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Game Yennefer. And this brings me to the crux of my criticisms regarding the disparity between Book Yen and Game Yen. If there was one word to describe Yennefer as she is appears in The Witcher 3, it would be "hypocrite." After completely disregarding Geralt's amnesia to vindictively teleporting him away into the middle of a lake for having the audacity of romancing a sorceress while suffering from said amnesia, she attempts to explain away her own amnesia thusly:"Not sure what to tell you, Geralt. I just happened to have all of the best mages at my disposal to help me through it. Thanks to that, it didn't last long. Skill issue, Geralt, tee hee!"If that wasn't bad enough, in that same conversation with her on the boat with Avallach and the other sorceresses, she has the cheek to explain to Geralt that the reason she didn't seek Geralt out first was because"I expected you would try to come look for me first."For starters, Doppler Yen, that only explains why you didn't seek out Geralt first initially. At some point you would have to arrive at the inexorable conclusion that Geralt wasn't coming, that he was probably suffering from the same amnesia you had, and that, like you with the Witchers of the Viper, was probably flirting with people he shouldn't be flirting with. Oopsie. Neglected to mention that part to Geralt. But it doesn't end there. No, it gets even worse. When they are both discussing him rescuing Yen from the Wild Hunt, Geralt mentions (3)
>>695235652"You'd do the same for me."And Yennefer, looking away, replies with (not verbatim)"I'm touched by your certainty, but..."Excuse me, WHAT? Did Game Yen just not-so-subtly insinuate that she WOULDN'T have done the same for Geralt? It was at this point that I desperately wished I could toggle on friendly fire and set that entire boat ablaze with Igni, but not before severing Yen's (and Phillipa's, while we're at it) femoral artery. Never in a million years would Book Yen have uttered or considered any of this. This entire conversation between Geralt and Yen before they all sailed off to Skellige should have just been cut entirely from the game. Period. It wouldn't have solved Game Yen's glaring lack of endearing qualities, but it wouldn't have made a terrible character even worse. Maybe Yen didn't get in touch with Geralt sooner because she got swallowed whole by a Kayran. Yeah, let's go with that headcanon. Would have been vastly preferable to her own explanation.Oh, hey, we're finally at the part where I discuss Yennefer literally almost dying trying to revive Geralt and how this completely clashes with Game Yen's character. Remember the assault on Kaer Morhen? When Geralt and the other witchers were frozen like meat popsicles? Do you also remember how he was still stiff as a statue after the fight was over, and Yennefer was just...standing a hundred feet nearby not giving a rat's arse about her one and only love STILL FROZEN TO THE BONE LIKE A BLOCK OF ICE? And then Geralt finally thaws out (no thanks to Yennefer) and then finally she shows a hint of concern and takes a single step towards him?"Oh, you're alright! That's good, I guess...but hey, Ciri is in need of consoling. Vesemir is totes dead. Sowwie." (4)
>>695235721Yen and Geralt couldn't keep their hands off each other whenever they chanced upon a fateful rendezvous, and they didn't care a whit if Ciri was present or not either. Hell, at certain points in the book, it was to Ciri's outright chagrin that they paid more attention to their own carnal desires than to their adopted daughter."But Chronoid, you're forgetting something important! This isn't just a hypothetical strawman either! This is character development! They are progressing through the books and now beyond into the games!"Fair point, but there is one flaw with this. Character progression as it pertains to Yennefer would entail less apathy, not more. At least, if we want this to be a natural progression from the books. Or rather, if we want this to be a positive progression for Yennefer and not a regression.tl;dr: Game Yen is a massive hypocrite, way too sarcastic, way too demeaning, apathetic, abusive, deceitful, and is essentially a mockery of, and a beached whale-sized disservice to one of, if not the the best written character in the books. And it is why I will continue romancing Triss in every play-through.(Final)
>cdpr "women"
>>695139423Just played through the trilogy for the first time and had an absolute blast! The first game is pure SOUL loved every second of it. The second one didn’t click with me as much, but it’s still a solid game. The third game is easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. Such a shame CDPR’s gone full ESG now. After the massive letdown that was CP2077, I’m not even bothering with their next witcher game.
>>695189125What
>>695188842Really?
>>695235796While game likes to pretend that they share one world with books and its a continuation, reality of it is - its a soft reboot of a series. Character prototypes remain roughly the same and exist in a vacuum and this vacuum is filled by other authors as they are revisiting same or similar plotpoints. Its less of a sequel and more of a comic book series by different authors type of situation.Game Yen is just one "What If" type of a deal.
>>695235796Who the fuck is Chronoid
>>695237446disregard that, my moniker on the official forums of CDPR
A few weeks ago I started reading the books. I blasted through the first 4 (last wish, sword of destiny, blood of elves, time of Contempt) and then put a pause. Time of Contempt had such an amazing climax, but I kind of hated the whole thing with ciri at the end and her new gang. I don't want to care for those people. Ive yet to start baptism of fire. Anyways the books have been really great. My biggest gripe is I KNOW I'm going to be burnt out when I finish and all that's left is season of storms.Anyways does baptism of fire or the next few books have anything as good as the whole sorcerer thing in ToC?
>>695237575kek based autist
>>695237885Lady of the Lake gave me the manliest of the manly tears. And I can't remember if it Lady of the Lake or the one preceding it, but one of the books after the dumb shit with Ciri and the gang will have you appreciating Team Shani a LOT more. And hating Game Shani a lot more, admittedly.
>>695235796>>695237446>>695237575chronoid moment.
>>695238231good luck, I'm behind 7000 proxies! [spoilers]the moderators hate me over there on the official forums. Got banned for several months for bitching about their move to the DEI kool aid[/spoiler]
>>695237885For what its worth i think that series should've stopped after sword of destiny. Everything past blood of elves could be considered Ciri's saga and series suffers for it.

hey uhhhh... should I play valheim? Does the game have an ending yet?
>>695242908still no ending they just added the second to last biome I think
>>695241657>aiNo thanks
>>695242908The makers of Valheim are all retardedThe game's combat sucks, but the survival and building is greatSo they decide to focus all of their time making new biomes where you spent 90% of the time in combat
>>695139423shitter3 was never good
>>695244547i love disingenuous webms that showcase playing the game completely wrong on purpose for a desired outcome. the roll is exclusively used as an emergency dodge to create distance. there's literally skills for the normal dodge to add iframes, and that's a key component in melee builds.
>>695237885>season of stormsGood thing Sapkowski's releasing a new book in 2 weeks.
yennefer is built for __
>>695244831So what you're saying is witcher 3 combat is on par with dark souls 2?
>>695246156no, they don't even play the same at all.

WTF I DIDN'T POST HERE
It's honestly crazy how Witcher 3 came out almost 9 years ago and yet modern games today barely look any better than it graphically. Where did it all go so wrong?
>>695148897The radovid assassination quest is retarded in its very concept>spend the last game framed as an assassin of a king>all magic users under justifiable suspicion of being spies for nilfgaard>pogroms against hedge wizards and witches (again justifiable since sorceresses are hiding out in this role)>I know what will fix things for everybody: WHAT IF A WITCHER ASSASSINATES THE KINGThe canon end isthe canon ending to that quest is geralt acting like the conspirators are all retards and leaving the room undramatically

>>695139423I fucking hated Witcher 3, but I'm not one of the /v/ schizos who has to pretend that my personal opinion means the game is bad, or that only shills pushed it to be successful.It just wasn't for me.
>>695248091Yeah it was pretty stupid how the killed off the only "decent" king the north had, all others were far bigger pieces of shit. As shitty as I found it abandoning Roche, Thaler and Ves. Dijkstra is probably the "best" ending for the northern realms. That being said, Roche was not particularly your friend in Witcher 2 either. Wasn't a big fan of that whole overarching plot.
>Couldn't fuck SaskiaWhat the fuck?
>>695139423I am amused

>>695248091>>I know what will fix things for everybody: WHAT IF A WITCHER ASSASSINATES THE KINGOne of Dijkstra's selling points to Geralt on the quest when he states he won't have to kill Radovid, just help. At no point does the quest involve Geralt on an active role in killing, he's just supposed to help bait him with information about PhillipaRadovid is the one that tries to kill Geralt, even before knowing he had anything to do with an assassination attemptAlso, the quest is totally optional and dependent on a lot of factorsThe only thing about that it's really retarded is the ending, where it looks like CDPR realized most people would see Dijkstra as the golden ending, so they had him try and kill your friends>>695248739>Dijkstra is probably the "best" ending for the northern realms.It's trading one foreign tyrant for another. >That being said, Roche was not particularly your friend in Witcher 2 either.Fuck off. Roche was awesome in 2. He helps you escape, gives you an opportunity to clear your name and even saves your life on Iorveth's pathThere's a reason he was called Bro-che
>Read the books and plan to play the games after>Still have not played more than a few hours of witcher 1
>>695248494You seem like a Gentleman
>>695248091I agree with this, but there is no need to repeat the same shit every thread.
>>695249951No, he's completely over rated, and their stupidity is what turns them into nilfgaardian puppets.
>>695253791Nah, he's great and Emhyr outmaneuvered every northern court and the Lodge of Sorceresses Can't really fault that the Special Forces guy couldn't pull the thread that no one else did
>>695245969is it a witcher book?
>>695237885Baptism of Fire is one of the more kino of the books, the rest of the saga is pretty great.
>>695239017WordThe last two books are also bloated as fuck
>>695256047dude the 100 page long battle in the last book is GOAT i read it without stopping
>>695253791What would you have done in Roche's position? Keep in mind he also had Thaler on his side.>>695254136What people tend to forget is the great Jan Natalis' fate is unknown. If he's alive and ever shows up he might be a strongest card in the Teremian deck, especially that visibility is not an issue for him and at least part of the nobility has his back. It's not a coincidence he was chosen as Interrex after the death of Foltest. Roche's plan to became a quasi-autonomic part of the Nilfgardian empire is a fitting foundation for his potential return. That's not saying he ever expects his former Commander to return, just that the door remains open in case there's a chance for that.
>>695183314A lot of the political intrigue and colour in novigrad is alright but it does absolutely collapse into itself later. Significant pacing issues where a lot of bricks are thrown into the air but all sort of come down simultaneously and some of them just fucking evaporate.
>>695167906Weird that's the same expression my mum gave me when she saw my browser history.
>>695139528The MSQ was awful. Witcher 2 was better. The W3 DLC's were masterpieces however. It's clear the witcher formula works better with short vignette like chapters

I beat Witcher 1 and 2 I never beat the 3rd did I miss out? I made it to the griphon fight and thought it was kind of lame an the enemy was too tanky.

>>695267579since the zoomer has only ever consumed liquid shit they have no taste or concept of what makes a good game
>>695224605>the woman should be punished, not the murderous vampire!did you forget the part where he was going to massacre beauclair?
>>695267579/v/ was posting memes like this when witcher racked up 20 million goty awards and were celebrating it for owning shitlib games because everyone in witcher 3 was white, you fucking tourist.
>>695244547there's a million better examples you can pick like the braindead enemy ai, attack patterns, shit verticality which makes it impossible to fight uphill.but ultimately, the combat is a nice addition to the story, world, characters & gwent. game would still be 9/10 without it.
>>695268718>zoomer standards are so low they simp for a pile of shit game because there's white people in it
>>695267579I am pretty sure that soulsfags are the most predominant haters of witcher 3 by far. Everyone has their fair argument on the flaws of this game, but the amount of reaching and exaggeration soulsfag make to gaslight into making people believe witcher 3 sucks ass is astronomical.
