It's surprises me how even though their relationship would be a death sentence in of itself. He's willing to stick with Coen despite all that. Where as Anca is all "there won't be a happily ever after for us". Too bad his questline is lacking when compared to the other options. He doesn't even have a proper sex scene. Only fading to black.

I still think it was done better in KCD2. But it is funny how alike the culmination was for both romances. Besides that, this is still better in some respects than the usual. I don't get why devs when pushing purely for DEI have to make the writing so lame or corny?

I think it's just because yaoi writing tends to be more "delicate" and careful, whereas yuri romance tends to be way more saucier right off the bat. Double standards.

Yes. If you drink their blood you get sent to some shadow realm shit where you can talk to them. Then you get the decision to let them become a part of you. I did it with Ambrus and the mongol vampire and they both occasionally chime in and say shit.

i dont know for sure but i think its xanthe. It looks like xanthe. She is the spider depicted in the mural above the sorceress on one runestone. Investigation explains the sorceress was defeating demons but unaware of a spider looming above her. Theres a side quest where the red scene visuals give you a hint where to go and what to do to escape. My guess is xanthe will nulify your witchcraft powers or steal them.

Vampyr is way more about roleplaying as a vampire. Here you're more of a Mary Sue Witcher-lite.

A fuck ton better. Vampyr was gay as shit with the faggotry, niggers and the fact the ancient vampires weren't taking their own rituals seriously. Dawnwalker is comfy as hell so far and I imagine when I encounter some inevitable shite that doesn't belong in the setting I can just slaughter it away

After giving the game a solid 15 hours I do think it would be better without the deadline. The time systen itself is cool and even interesting, but the deadline adds nothing.

My hot take is that I think the timer deadline would have actually worked really well for something bigger like Cyberpunk 2077.

Like you still have that goal to storm Arasaka (which you can now do from the start) but which allies you pursue, which questlines you take, and which gigs you accept could now be planned for different playthroughs now that you can't do everything all at once.

You're not. The animations (even the human ones) are very unclear and the fidgety camera guarantees you'll be attacked from somewhere outside your view every other fight.

I beat Ambrus 6 days in on duelist with indicators (as well as Brencis in the tutorial before going to hell and getting my shit kicked in). Game felt too easy so I've switched them off. It's a good challenge relying on reaction and readability rather than a single arrow on a shield
>>
>>746975594
Yes, but if he just hears someone say "please we're being plagued by four vampires!" then unless they can give him more details on what they can do (and most of what they'll tell him won't be of any use apart from the sunlgiht weakness) he'd probably be hesitant in taking up a contract on them.

I don't get how battles against 6+ opponents work without indicators. At some point during them I always end up in a position where I cant see where attacks are coming from other than the indicators.

It's really just a skill issue, when I tried training with Coen's father in the prologue I had indicators off and found it way too unforgiving to learn the animations.

Is the studio that developed this game a criminal front or some shit? Is this actually made by Tencent or something? Look at the website of that studio. Mass-produced, no information. Probably AI generated. And the game itself is an amalgam of copied assets.

Dawnwalker doesn't really remind me of TW3, some of the game design and UI elements were already present in most open world games. The combat, scope, and timer also make the Dawnwalker more distinct in terms of game feel.
But the biggest difference is that Dawnwalker is a legit gritty fantasy whereas Witcher 3's world was satirical half the time and knew how to lighten the mood.

Yeah, that's what I noticed right off the bat. This game doesn't have humor at all. Nobody's quipping, nobody's telling silly jokes, it's all very self-serious. On one hand, it's a bit weird, on another, I kinda dig it, because that's a vision.
>>
>>746979667
I think they should've just kept it a secret until the game came out. And for those who haven't played it they show the clip at the Game Awards. Either way I am still wary of what a sequel may bring. Like how many decisions will reasonably carry over? I feel like they'll run into the same problems Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and The Witcher series had. With the choices not really mattering between each title.

I felt sorry after poisoning him, which also proved to be pretty fucking useless despite the time investment as he seemed genuine during the fight and after begging to not abandon his soul so I let him live rent free in my head . I hope I didn't fuck up.

Also, I'm pretty impressed with the game so far, you can murder pretty much every story essential NPC including your waifu anca and the story still goes on as the ultimate goal is within your reach the moment you finish prologue. More open world games should do that.

>>746975652
>duelist with indicators
You do realize that shit is easier than the difficulty before that? Mobs have less hp and attack more, which means you get to exploit counterattacks more.

I rang the bell and nothing happened. But I did make a deal for the soldiers to let me in, so that explains it.

It's funny that the time mechanic is so scary for people when after playing for some hours it becomes blatant that iit's more like a flavor and that you can easily do pretty much almost everything the game has to offer. You just pick the order you do things and have to plan ahead for day/night.

They 100% toned it down before release because the prologue is REALLY tight with it but after that the most shit you spent time on are sidequests, learning and stuff.
>>
Is the game good?
>>
>>746980775
That's probably a good thing. Actually harsh time mechanics would've been a gigafilter.
>>
>>746980779
Yea it's really good, but janky. You can tell it's Witcher 3 devs. Also the time mechanic seems way more important than it really is. It's more like a currency you spend on getting stronger rather than some restrictive system forcing you to make hard decisions.

Rebel Wolves already stated that while there is an overarching narrative for the series through the present day framing device, the main stories of the sequels themselves will be standalone with their own cast, although some characters will recur throughout the series.

Watching through a playthrough now, and the dialogue is sort of what I wanted Baldur's Gate 3 to be.

You have 30 days.

I've been playing with that through about half the game, and I'm getting tired of it. I shouldn't have to slice boars, wolves, and random soldiers 20 fucking times each to kill them. I switched to duelist with attack indicators and it's still bullshit. Everyone, including me, should die from 1-3, maybe 5 solid hits. With the exception of the top vampires of course, and bosses, it's reasonable for them to be stronger. But it's almost like every enemy is a mini boss, I beat their ass and perfect block them like 8 times each before the fight ends, and then multiply that because you're always outnumbered.
>>
>>746981097
I am pretty sure you don't have to kill any of the boyars. The game seems very flexible in terms of story. I suppose you can just skip most of the main quest and still finish the game.
In my game I haven't even met Lacra, until the game literally told me after MOTHERFUCKER GO TO THE CITY AND START SEARCHING FOR HER. And even then I was able to ignore that quest.

It's always funny how nowadays vampires basically do not have drawbacks. In this game, the vampires are also just demigods. It's literally that they just need to drink blood and the sun burns them. Otherwise, they are just straight up superior humans. There's barely anything a human can do against them, and they have the capability to live forever, teleport, walk up walls even on the ceiling, turn into a wolf, superhuman strength, superhuman regeneration, and the ability to heal all humans by simply giving them your blood.
Like who would say "nah" to that? I have 22 days left and just killed ambrus. Also, you don't even need to kill humans lol, you can just drink till they are unconscious. You just become straight up a demigod. And if that isn't all enough? Everything works! You aren't really dead like some "animated by magic corpse". Your body works, is alive and most importantly, you can be horny and fuck. You can literally fuck with your vampire mate for eternity. Who would say no to that?

That's like the one weakness. You can theoretically be captured, but you are kinda stupid if you let yourself get captured. Also a reason to find a vamp significant other. I just don't know yet if the nail turning needs to be given by Brencis or if normal normal vamps can also do it.
I have read in a letter that one husband got their wife a nail from a market. The wife was on her dying bed and he ramed it into her and it worked.

Cities were made largely of wood and extremely compact back then. They tended to burn down. Now imaging you're a vampire living in the basement of one such house, with a wooden floor. The house catches fire, but you can't leave because the sun will kill you, but you can't stay, because either the fire will kill you or it'll make a hole in your roof.
Imagine there's a city wide hunt for you and it's all men with silver tipped spears. They decide to conduct their search during the day. You're rooted in place for 16 hours.
You decide to be fancy and live in a proper house with drapes because living in a hole in the ground sucks ass. Someone moves the drape aside. You die.

It's bad enough for them that the villain's main goal is to cast a ritual that would submerge the valley in shadow.

Waiting is the dumbest thing you can do. If you really want to pass some time, just upgrade some skills. Pretty sure that option is just there for challenge runs or speed runners, it doesn't make any sense otherwise
>>
>>746980523
To be fair that's not what they said.
Modern day seems to be more of an end-point than a part two.
In the epilogue of the game you are recruited to join a secret order of Dawnwalkers to save your sister.
And then you are given a small interactive narration by coen where he's looking at paintings of his life, and it seems like some time has bassed but not really even enough to get to the industrial era. So for game 2 expect either more dark ages, or colonial era.
>>
>>746982054
Claws are pretty much always stronger than whatever swords you can find at that level. First take all the free perks that don't take time. Armor if you want, it'll probably still be better even without the perks, but they make it significantly better. IMO the main priority is to kill things faster. They can't hurt you if they're dead

>>746982246

I think the game would've been cooler if it leaned far more heavily into the vampire theme. Being a vamp only 50% of the time feels like a copout. I wanted the angst of wanting to save my family while realizing that I'll never be a part of it anymore due to being a creature of the night. I wanted silver to be extremely deadly to me and have to avoid the sun like the plague.
Dawnwalker feels like it wants to have its cake and eat it too.

Most of them do take a time slot. Just mod it so you don't have to worry about it. There isn't even that much that the timer blocks, so I don't really see the point of keeping it just so you'd be cut off from it until the replay or forced to avoid more map-clearing/skill-up activities.

There’s a book somewhere that suggests the first vampires were made by a fourth god who shall not be named (but I think is basically Satan or the Devil) who made them out of his blood because he thought humans were too weak

VTMB2 already came out, VTM already exists in general.

Imagine a vampire pirate game set during the age of sail, or a vampire wild west America, or something akin to Wolfenstein set in either World War 1 or 2. Those are far more interesting settings and genres to explore.

The only thing I would want to see in the modern era is Coen returning to Vale Sangora and seeing how much it has changed and moved on since he was a humble peasant villager.

This is the exact kind of shit I blame modern grafics on. Devs had a thousand things to make their unique mechanic feel more impactful with more choices.

So before i went to climb the tower to see shit i spent my points into getting some random skills
I picked one that i didnt fully understand
Increase the amount of "swordmanship slots" or something like that from 1 to 2
That means i can put 2 sword skills in quick slots and previously i only could put one? or what

There are active abilities and passive abilities. Active abilities can go on the quickbar. A passive ability will still use a swordsmanship spot. You didn't make a mistake because you will undoubtedly be using more than 1 slot for each of the 3 talent trees out of a maximum of 4.
Let's say you upgrade swordsmanhip and vampirism/witchcraft slots to 3 (keep in mind the vampiric bite you get at the start that you can and should use during combat doesn't count as a vampirism slot). You can have 2 active abilities from swordsmanship and 1 passive while having 1 active ability from vampirism (+ vampiric bite) and 2 passive abilities. It doesn't make sense to have 4 active abilities of any kind because you can only have 4 active abilities on the quickbar.

TW3 didn't have hit hitboxes at all. It had MMO combat where you basically "dock" with any enemy and project damage at them every tick for as long as you're considered to be attacking. The animations were irrelevant, Geralt could've been eating a banana or reading a book and it would've played out the same. This might be the same.

You're dealing 1/10th the damage you could with other skill trees.

When the combat clicks its fantastic, but god damn sometimes you are fighting the entire game.
Found some blue trousers in a tower along the east border, climbing out two skellys spawned that did nothing but stand in place and throw unparriable daggers at me. Killed me a couple of times on Duelist, then when I finally get one down the game decided combat was over and Cohen fucking sheathes his sword as the other skelly throws a dagger and kills me.

Don't listen to this anon. Don't treat it as a multi target ability, but combined with the ultimate that refreshes your abilities on kill, and mastered Artery Strike, the Charge is great. Charge refunds it's cost on kill, so it's a quick way to finish off low hp target, and if they survive, the bleed makes the decapitation from Artery Strike certain. Charge is also low cooldown in case you're fighting a boss who can't be decapitated and doesn't have extra mobs to reset skills. Bleed is an okayish dps, but not great. Stun is also nice, but the dirty trick would be better for that. It's good to shut down annoying enemies like wolves.

Well, there is the teeny tiny drawback of being doomed to eternal hellfire once you (inevitably) die. Because that's the whole point. Vampires are anti-Christian (drinking blood, wolf among the flock, etc.) Focused on worldly power at the expense of eternal damnation.

They're actually two different things. "Wolves's" is 100% wrong. You don't say "wolves-iz den". But the first one is actually correct.

This never made sense to me because the nature of the world means there will always be monsters around so long as anyone experiences misfortune.

Lord of the Rings is set in what's meant to be an ancient version of Earth. Dracula is in the real world, as is Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde and lots of other classic books with supernatural or mythological things in - not least of which is actual mythology like Greek or Norse mythology. Capeshit also has superhumans and aliens and gods in the real world. It's far more common for a story with supernatural/non-real things to be set in reality than it is for it to be in its own separate setting. Ghostbusters, A Christmas Carol, Lovecraft, The Odyssey, Street Fighter, Resident Evil...

Vampires. It's a blood economy, they suck people's blood in exchange for making their own blood, and their blood cures pretty much everything (apart from mental ilness apparently, but oh well) and provides sustenance. Soldiers get more of it, peasants only get it once a week, so they still farm like they used to but now the surplus food they have isn't taken away by taxes. Soldiers also do that to some degree, as evidenced by the prologue guy saying he caught A BIG FUCKING FISH in that stream not long ago.

The plot twist is the Witcher world always had magic in it, it's humans who have crossed over from our literal Earth that doesn't - we're the beings from another dimension. So are elves and vampires and other shit, they just showed up during earlier convergences. I don't think it's ever said that they are truly native in the sense of evolving there, but gnomes and dwarves are considered the first guys there.

Poland is a small country right? All the game dev companies probably all know each other and constantly trade each other's employees.

Wouldn't be suprised if Rebel Wolves still has deep connections with CDPR despite being an "independant" company.

It was gnomes who originally lived in the continent, then dwarves, then elves, and then finally humans who made the biggest impact.

Elves traveled there with their own method, they arrived before the conjunction.

Elves were also transplants, but they were there before humans. Their own world got fucked long, long ago and they now live in other ones. You visit the main one, Aen Elle, during Witcher 3 main quest - they're very racist there and Wild Hunt is basically their Dark Eldar raiding party kidnapping kids to be molested on Elvenstein's island.
