Name a better vidya villain, you literally can't.
>>735036549>villainHe only grant what people wishes
>Le mysterious satan figureLazy writing actually
>>735037124you've never read a book in your sad life.
>>735037070Being a dickhead is villainous.Justify it however you want, but when you're being a cunt you're a cunt.
>>735036549it's hilarious how they went from this guy to an autistic vampire
>>735037124>>Le mysterious satan figure>Lazy writing actuallyThe whole DLC is based on a Polish folktale.Forgive these polacks for writing about shit Disney didn't turn into a movie you slopbrained nigger.
>>735036549For me, it has to be Morbius
>>735036549
>>735037230>It's not lazy writing!>It's actually a copy of an existing story!Wow, you really convinced me otherwise
>>735036549I played the whole dlc and I still have no clue who this nigga is meant to be, some sorta trickster demon who looks like a human but isn't really I guess
>>735036549>"Will you sign this paper that says i will take your soul in exchange for you becoming a monster in human fllesh?">"Yes.">*gives his soul and becomes a monster in human flesh*>"WTF!!!!"kek, how the hell is gaunter supposed to be a villa->*traps someone in a 2-meter magic circle for the rest of his life because he read some books*.....
>>735037124Yeah!It should've been something badass and cool like Thanos! Now that's a bad guy! Freedom aint free.
>>735037070I don't think that one guy wished for a ladle through the eye.
>>735038313This always bothered me.He just kills that guy for no real reason. Like does he have any rules or limitations? Why doesnt he just stop time and shove his dick in geralds eye after Gerald decides to screw him over?
>>735038313Gerald kill people like it's the most natural thing in the world, try again
>>735038580His limitations are self-imposed. He didn't kill Geralt, because he lost as a part of his game.I mean he just spends centuries going around the world playing with mortals - he *could* just sneeze and kill them all, but that shit would be BORING
>>735038965He's not all powerful or he would not be able to be banished. He's more like a very powerful demon
>>735036549how the fuck is he a villain?Dont make deals then whine when collection time is upon you.I maintain that the people who chose to risk their life to save are idiots Olgierd. They risk dooming ciri and I cant forgive that.
>>735037230it has nothing to do with Polish folklore, that's a jinn
>>735039110I’m sorry I can’t hear you over the sound of my two kick ass swords that you can never get
>>735036549>gets beaten by geralt solving an re9-tier puzzleWaow...
>>735037247His only crime was love
>>735039068It's probably some kind of contract-based power - he can do what he wants outside of it, but if it's written than he gets banished when he loses - then he gets banished with no way around it
>>735037959the devil. You know from the bible
>>735037959What he is is clearly mentionned in the game.You are hereby condemned to go replay it.>>735038580He has a sense of honor and principles.Imagine him to be lawful evil
>>735038580It does imply he is incredibly strong, and doesn't cover any limitations the ability might have. He also bound a scholar into a chalk circle so that he would immediately die if he left it. We don't actually know how often he ruins lives like that.One possible limitation could be holding to certain social standards, since he operates through oral contracts and only used that power after the drunk interrupt him.
>>735039284it's a jinn, goddamnit - an evil desert spirit from Arabian folklore that plays with humans by offering to grant them wishes, and fucks them in the fine print.
>>735039110Risk dooming Ciri? Who the fuck does HoS without finishing the story first, that’s playing W3 like an absolute fucking psychopath.
>>735039575HoS takes place canonically before the end of the main plot of Witcher 3.
What did you do to this evil psycho bitch?
>>735039685proofs?
>>735039480You meet Djinn in Skellige though, and they don't have human form, more like an orb of light. O'Dimm is a demon
>>735036549He’s just a purse carrying hipster scene kid
>>735039880>fuck her>don't get the item so she dies when leaving the fairy tale land>put down the sperg vampire Best ending
>>735036549both DLC villains were better then the wild hunt, what a let down they were.
>>735040662But ana bitchetta lives. how is that a good ending?
>>735041036Dandelion would be sad if she died
>>735041159What he gonna do? Send the crimson avenger after me?
>>735039124jinn is the one that suposedly made jenefer and gerald in love (its the first time they meet in books where jenefer have jinn trapped)that cdpr thing is le evil spirit
>>735041371Fuck Yen and Triss AND Shani at the same time
>>735037124name 5 other examples of this
>>735036549He was certainly a better villain than the gay vampire in the other expansion
>>735036549Yes. I genuinely can't. What now?
>>735036549SHODAN is the best. She believes she's all powerful and all knowing, but is actually just a fairly powerful somewhat well programmed bimbo.I just wish there was an ending where you cage her in a smartwatch or something to enjoy all her tsundere insults as you become the scariest cyborg the world has ever seen.
>>735037124>Mysterious satan figureYes. Much like G-man , Mr. Blues Eyes...Best writing.Name a better trope, smartypants.
>>735037247>villain is evil because...he's a simp
>>735040682I'm going to have to agree. I liked the Witches a lot though.
>>735040682>spooky otherwordly ghost brigade!>actually just elves>stab them until they dieyeah
>>735039124>>735039480isn't this just semantics
>>735042370>Name a better trope, smartypants.The protagonist is an amnesiac on a perilous journey to foil an evil plan he himself put into motion.
>>735040682the whole latter half of the game was a disappointmentbut then again i've yet to play an rpg where the 2nd half enemy slog beats the wondrous call to adventure of the 1st half
>>735037247>His special vampire ability is that he has big feelingsbetween him and the mary sue queen of toussant it's clear that women have taken over CDPR
>>735036549Lantern King fucks his ass and then some.
>>735045427Wasn't it obvious when they changed geralt's body to look muscular and handsome
>>735036549>"What a fool you are. I'm a god. How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. No Recall or Intervention can work in this place. Come. Lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mercy."
>>735039480He's more like Mephistopheles.
>>735036549As a Slav myself I cannot take a villain that looks like that seriously. The way he was written was alright it's just the way he looks.
>>735036549>villain
witcher thread? witcher threadim playing witcher 2 for the first time, im lost on ch 3 "for a higher cause" (iorveth side, if that matters) and i would much rather not surrender to the guardsim trying to enter the sewers, everywhere online ive read says theres some mysterious door i have to go through, but any of the doors around the merchant area/amphitheatre either say "locked" or "key required", with the exception of one that lead me into some room (whereupon i was immediately attacked by some guys)then the place actually called "sewers of loc muinne" has a locked gate with 2 knights standing outside (who also attacked me)am i just stupid?
>>735044736so... total recall?
>>735050221Just go talk to Zygfryd and he'll let you in.You did import the Witcher 1 save, right?
>>735036549>>735046531>You were a fool to confront me, and now have paid the ultimate price. Even now my servants go to fetch your mortal husk. You will serve me well through my years as Emperor, once I have made you undead. Perhaps I will even let you retain some of your memories, so that the price of your failure has meaning to you....
>>735037964That guy was warned, and did it anyways. His sin was hubris.Also the circle did nothing, gaunter just thought it was funny to make his delusions a reality. He self contained himself, and he self deleted due to breaking the rules that he himself created
>>735050386i did import but... i sided with yaevinn lol
>>735039182>t. Slow horse haver
>youtube >w3 HoS "bad ending"always makes me laugh
>>735038313he shouldn'ta been standin' there
>>735050503>sided with elves in both gamesYou belong in a garbage can
>>735037070always at a cost and usury is a sin
>>735046531>Welcome Moon and Star>Come to me through fire and war
>>735050754no elf ever called me mutant
>>735037216Blood and Wine was a fantastic DLC, sadly you can't have everything perfect.
>>735045936Sarevok is a very boring villain compared to Irenicus. Only redeemed because he's a funny character in ToB.
>>735050503You missed out on the best quest in the man camp then.But really, have you not meet up with Iorveth at the start of the chapter? He literally leads you to the cave with the crab things and then guides you to the city.
>>735050959Ah shit, you actually believed the knife ears when they told you Gwynbleidd was not a slur and was totally for real no joke a title of respect??baka desu senpai
>>735051191im already inside loc muinne, the city, im at the part where i need to reach philippa eilhart in the dungeon either by getting arrested (which id rather not) or using the sewers>>735051520ay carumbatotal elf death
For me its Kain
>>735051896Oh, I misunderstood, on the account of being drunk and all.But have you considered that asking people who played this game multiple years ago might be less helpful than simply consulting a guide?
>>735039685No it doesn't, I played it after the main story
>>735051257>>735051961>villain
>>735052012i have (>>735050221) but every one ive encountered so far just goes the arrest route or has vague unhelpful directionsi did stumble across the order of the flaming rose camp but theres so many enemies there i dont think thats the correct path to the sewersill keep looking for the right guide in the meantime
the autistic vampire was just a tool that the evil bitch sister used. he was a vicious dog she sicced on her enemies.and, her good end is letting her get away with all of it. HoS' good end is letting a murderous bandit get away with it because he kinda thought he might feel bad about everything he did, though, so. Gorrot always believes in second chances.
>>735052694oh my god im actually genuinely stupid, theres this door ive walked past like 500 times without noticing it right beside the giant tower for the secrets of loc muinne quest
His theme song makes my ears cum
>>735037124Faustian bargains are a good trope actually.
>>735039480>evil desert spirit from Arabian folklore that plays with humans by offering to grant them wishes, and fucks them in the fine print.I am pretty sure they are called jews.
>>735037070>>735038580>>735039441>>735039448>>735039184He wasn't beaten by Geralt.He doesn't operate on "rules" or "contracts".He has no shown limitations.The brainlet understanding of O'Dimm is that he's a classical Mephistopheles figure - a powerful demon that is nonetheless restricted by certain rules, and therefore can be outsmarted or beaten by the hero.If you look beyond the surface level and actually observe what he does during the DLC, it becomes apparent that he doesn't operate under any rules (the ladle incident), his game with Geralt is completely fake, and he's not actually a djinn or a demon or anything else that is given as a backstory for him. We literally have no information for what O'Dimm actually is. Every detail that is available about him is delivered to the player through unreliable narration.
>>735045427>mary sue queen of toussantHow the fuck is she a Mary Sue? She's pretty much fucking useless and lets scores of her own people die to protect her sister. She was practically willing to let all of Toussaint burn to the ground for it. Just because she was hot and rips her skirt off to ride a horse for 5 minutes with Geralt doesn't make her a "Mary Sue".
>>735056726My own interpretation is that he is essentially omnipotent, but that is ultimately boring, and he abides by self-imposed limitations in order to be surprised by mortal ambitions and decisions.As a godlike being, the way to appreciate existence is to relinquish control and see what happens.
>>735039284The devil from the bible is not a villain or evil if you compare him to god.
>>735050754Geralt would canonically side with the non-humansHis death in the books was him fighting to protect non-humans
>>735037769>he spend his free time prank calling a radio station
He's God, he's literally the DM and Geralt is the player character. He only exists to impose a challenge to Geralt and knows it, he can only be beaten because he allows it.
>>735060041Wouldn’t you?
>>735036549>>735037247Witcher 3's DLC had amazing writing, it's stand-out in the world of video games.
Witcher 3 is 11 years old
he's just a Stephen King reference >Leland Gaunt, the demon who sells life-ruining promises of what you think you want>The Man in Black aka Randall Flagg aka Walter O'DimLeland Gaunt Walter O'DimGaunter O'Dimm
>>735046531Dagoth Ur sucks as a villainliterally all he has is that ending monologue
>>735056726Bro I played the game about 10 years ago.I deserve some leniency here.
>>735036549>Helps you find Yen >Saves you from certain death >gives you cool rewards >all he wants is his debts collected Not a villain.
>>735039575there are some neat interactions if you do it in that ordera bunch of the main cast react to the brand gaunter places on geralt's face, and if you finish the quest before finding Ciri you can ask O'Dimm to save her for your reward (he says it's beyond his abilities, but is likely lying and simply doesn't want to ruin the journey)
>>735044721ironically, semantics are very important to djinns because they cannot lie, so their wordplay has to be very calculated
>>735041036she continues to be nilfgaard's problem
>>735037124This.
>>735036549I didn't like TW3 that much but yeah, he was a top tier villain.
>>735036549The best villain is E.Y.E's
>>735037124Johnny Goethe-boy blown the fuck out.
>>735038965He outright stated he can't get Ciri for you nor transport you to her because she is outside of his realms. He, however, can see the future as he assures Geralt he will undoubtely reach her.
I finished this game with its DLCs about a week ago. I can’t in good faith say it lives up to the hype because of how (rather reservedly) hyperbolic the praise for it is, but it is a fantastic game. Really, really good stuff. Had I played it before Cyber Punk I would have gotten caught up in that hype train, especially when CDPR was saying CP would CRPG tier choices in how to complete main and side quests.>>735057761What’s funny is that given her personality I honestly thought that had they lived a month or two together she would have stopped seeing her sister with rose-colored glasses.
>>735073440>I can’t in good faith say it lives up to the hype because of how (rather reservedly) hyperbolic the praise for it is, butgay
>>735073545I mean most people say it is a perfect 10 and the best game ever made. I don’t agree lmao, but I do think it is easily a 9.
>>735056726Beaten by Geralt under rules he applied to himself that he doesn't actually have to follow is still being beaten.
>>735036549I honestly didn't even like this DLC, it was OK. I had way more fun with Blood and Wine. I loved the aesthetic.
