Witcherbros, we eating good
>>3990808looks like it will be prequel type stuff
>>3990808Yooooo this is fire
>>3990815Why>>3990808Snoy, too or only mustard?
>>3990808Jarvis, give me a rundown on the demographics of the current development teams compared to that of the base game and earlier DLC. Cross-reference changes to any DEI policies
>>3990808Eating shit isn't eating good. It will be prophetic in predicting the magnitude of shit-storm called Witcher 4 though.I would prefer they refrain from raping Witcher 3 at all, in fact. Even if W3 is a casual adventure slop, it had its moments. But neither of those moments involved post fog island Ciri that this DLC will surely have more of.
>>3990808Hearts dlc at least fleshed out map a bit, Blood and Wine was just a separate adventure.It would be perfect if this dlc arrived with some update to fix a lot of W3, while actual dlc expanded on cut content or stuff that is blatantly missing. Iorveth, that plague subplot, Saskia, Siegfried, that good Witcher hunter all of this in particular could show up. Maybe they could try to fix the absolute retardation of political plots too and pacing and quality of a later part of main game. I hate everything related to leveling and equipment and RPG mechanics like this, but that's unfixable without overhauling game completely.But most likely it will just some separate adventure to tie it to Witcher 4 and instead of fixing and improving W3, it has a huge chance of fucking it up.
>>3990808>AI slopLook at the angle of the sword, then look at the scabbard.>geralt looking doughy as fuck>long torso, short thighsThey also manletized him?>belt hanging lose to the point where if he wasn't spreading his legs his shit would fall downGrim in its goofiness
>>3990808NEKKERSGOTTA BE
>>3990812A prequel to Witcher 4, surely. Why would they not use this as a connector to the next game?
>>3992338Likely both, if it is before everyone gets scattered at the end of the books/beginning of the games they'll have Ciri around in a way that doesn't require them to write around W3's endingsway easier to set up next stuff
>>3990808only thing witcher fans are eating is cock.
>>3990832Going to be bad.
>>3990832It's not the same team. Fool's Theory is alright, but they haven't made anything on this level of budget. I rather enjoyed both the Thaumaturge and Seven. They're also the studio working on Witcher 1 remake.
>>3990808Fuck them for releasing it in 2027 instead of 2026
>>3992346explain how you mean, they have to take w3's endings into account either way. since w4 is set after the games
>>3992385>It's not the same team.It's the same company.
>dlc years after everyone is done with the game
bought W3 at release and just never got around to playing it. any "must have" mods I need or any tips before diving in?
>>3993302Just dive in. The only mod I would personally recommend is the “red skull mod” as there’s a mechanic where, if an enemy is +N levels higher than you, in addition to its stats being much better than yours, it also arbitrarily does 10x damage to you and you do 0.1x damage to it, which sucks and takes away the ability to defeat a higher level enemy through skill.
>>3993311Level locking areas and quests is one thing but level locking combat encounters is retarded. Pissed me off so much during my first playthrough because I was taking harder quests and grinding monster encounters early to level up faster but was coming against this dogshit mechanic.
>>3993311checked. thanks. is this the one? I can't seem to find a version of it for the latest build of the game. https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/6371
>>3993314Yes. Also to add to this, be aware that the game is scaled such speedrunning the main quest gives you tons of XP. If you are a completionist and do tons of side questing, you will inevitably end up overleveled.
>>3990808>AI pictureLook at sword and end of scabbard. It's going to be gay and a retcon installment to justify and "explain" the retardation that will be Witcher 4.
>>3992346Writing around things isn't how CD Projekt handled the previous Witcher games. Regardless of your individual choices, they decided on a canon.
>>3993336Which is honestly how it should be. Or you fall into the Bioware trap where every minute thing from the previous games has to be referenced or fans get butthurt.
>>3993311>which sucks and takes away the ability to defeat a higher level enemy through skill.how is this supposed to be goodit's supposed to be a fucking RPGdevs claim it's RPG
>>3993338>Or you fall into the Bioware trapThere was no trap. They simply didn't deliver.
>>3993414Because the higher level enemy already has higher defense, HP, damage, owing to its higher level. That is to be expected from RPG mechanics. Then, in addition to those statistical advantages, the devs also added an utterly arbitrary scaling factor of 10x incoming damage/ 0.1x outgoing damage that only applies when there is a sufficient level difference. That part is silly and arbitrary.
>>3992382>Everyone's a chief or a directorIts fulled outfitted with H1B employees isn't it ?
>>3994471Are they in the us? If yes, cdpr is just implanting a sleeper cell.
>>3990808who's the third sword for??
>>3992350Don't fantasize: you're so obvious in your moist need for mouth-dick. Just admit it, cuckthing !
>>3994536Sorceresses
>>3994575and the fourth one?
>>3990850You will never see a naked woman.
>>3992350YWNBAW
>>3994680Don't say that, or CDPR employees will get offended and stop making games. :O
>>3990808A bit sceptical desu I don't see why we need another DLC, Geralt's story is pretty much finished after Blood and WinePersonally rather wish they remastered Witcher 1 and 2 with better graphics and bug fixing shit
>>3992385>Witcher 1 remakeI'm pretty hyped for this. They'd better not fuck it up.
>>3994730ngl, I shagged Kiera Metz.I will never be clean again.
>>3995791>>3995816>I'm pretty hyped for this.Why would you support them selling the same game again instead of making a new one?Jews were right, the goyim are not people.
>>3995869You don't know Witcher 1, and are not qualified to comment.You are, however, qualified to take a horse cock up your arse.
>>3992338That's the wrong question. The real question is, how fucking retarded is W4 going to be, that it requires a whole new DLC to fuck up the lore and change the story to justify itself
>>3995890*a whole new DLC for a 10+ year old game
>>3995872>You don't know Witcher 1I've played Witcher 1, so start with an apology for your slander and rude behavior. Though I expected nothing less from a goyim.
>>3995927>a goyimHSL?
>>3993321nta but should be this one https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/8762
>>3992338Because they're obsessed with Geralt's story being over as their excuse for making Ciri the new protag. If the new DLC takes place after the events of 3 it's them admitting his story can continue and they can't allow that
I'm so tired of female protagonists. I might not even buy 4
>>3995998>as their excuseWho's they?
>>3990808Action game, not RPG
>>3996075True, same applies to Diablo and Icewind Dale.
>>3996000I never play games with female protags. Pretty great that they started tagging games with it in steam so I can just filter them.
>>3997231Sure
>>3997905samei do like some of the metroids, but you're just playing as armorand there's no fucking talking
>>3995998Geralt's story being over is the excuse to end the fucking series. Nobody gives a shit about their Ciri fanfic, this is in the same vein as the Mass Effect 5 that we're supposedly going to get at some point.
>>3996000>>3997905wow you guys are tuff and based!!!!!!!! i would never call you gay faggots because you're not!!! at all!!!!!!
>>3998970>Geralt's story being over is the excuse to end the fucking seriesMany such cases
I was thinking how can people still play DLC's for games that were released many years ago, do they just install and replaythe game all over again every time a new DLC comes out? Then I remember the board is full of normies who actually >buy each and every single one of their games, probably from Steam, where they have a collection of only a few games at a time at best due to their busy lives, and where they probably retain the save files of every game they ever played before just reinstalling them with their purchased game license to pick up where they left.Absolutely disgusting.
>>3999003>their busy lives>Absolutely disgusting.He mad
q
>>3995998the only problem i have with ciri being protag is that they made her an old hag and totally skipped the part where young ciri gets naked.
So does the new witcher 4 trailer confirm as canon witcher Ciri ending?
>>4013492Yes. Ciri Witcher ending with Geralt retired in the vinyard with yennefer is the canon ending.
>>3990808ciri's game already flopped so hard they devolved to 3 to make back the potential losses, about to see an asset flip of all asset flips. gonna make unity asset flips look genuine
>>4013692Powerful
>>4013692Stunning and brave.
Such a shame killing radovid is not canon
>>3990808Have they shown anything yet?
>>3996075Let's just all agree that there have never been any RPGs, and the whole genre is illusory.
>>4013492Yes. Never mind that Ciri never underwent the trial of the grasses, meaning that witcher potions would literally kill her.They fucked up that part of the canon in W3 btw.
>>4023552One of the more reasonable takes I’ve seen on the subject, imo
>>3997905>great that they started tagging games with itYeah, one of the little things that makes life better for everyone.
>>3996000Ciri was a co-protagonist in Witcher 3.In fact she was arguably the main protagonist, since she is literally tasked with saving the world, off-screen, without Geralt's help.
my only problem with this is that i would have to play through the whole game again just so i know whats going on, and i've done that several times already. kind of just done with witcher 3. would have been cool a few years ago when i actually cared about the game.
>>4027499>In fact she was arguably the main protagonist, since she is literally tasked with saving the world, off-screen, without Geralt's help.Oblivionbros, our response?
>>3998988Why so angry at someone else's lifestyle choice tho
>>4027619Nigga doesn't know what a "protagonist" is
>>4031873You literally play as Ciri multiple times in W3. As I said, she's a co-protagonist.She is also the prodigy who fulfils Ithlinne's prophecy, which is the main story arc of the Witcher series.
>>3990808Shan't buy
>>4031873>Nigga doesn't know what a "protagonist" isBrutal self-own
Anons I'm about to finally play W3 after finishing both W1 and W2. Coming hyped and planning to mess with this game for many months, like a I did with Skyrim.Question: Any absolutely necessary mods you guys recomment for a mostly vanilla playthrough? Can be anything from fixes, to the Gwent minigame to coomer mods.
>>4037074>Question: Any absolutely necessary mods you guys recomment for a mostly vanilla playthrough?Only one. The “red skull mod”, forget the name. By default, a monster that is more than 5 or so levels above you is marked with a red skull to indicate you should probably fuck off and come back later unless you’re a badass, which is fine. However, the devs also applied a completely arbitrary and retarded modifier that means they do 1000% damage to you, and you do 10% damage to them, in addition to the other statistical advantages the enemy has due to being higher level than you. Really sucks, and reduces the chances that you can defeat a tough enemy through skill.
>>4037211Also play on death march. It’ll be hard for the first ten levels or so then get easier as your build comes online. Otherwise, on lower difficulties the beginning will feel appropriate and then the game will be too easy.
>>3993434Change my mindWitcher 3 should never have had that kind of levelling in the first place. It makes no sense and is immersion breaking that geralt, 100 year old seasoned witcher who just got through two games of levelling up (you can play that off as regaining his skills after amnesia) now becomes more powerful by orders of magnitude in a span of weeks, merely with witcher stuff. It MAKES NO SENSE.Instead, progression should have been handled indirectly (a bit like in the stalker games). Yennefer, the other sorceresses would give you magical doodads that give you specific perks (like the lamp of ghost seeing, or the useless xenovox). Discovering witcher armors and swords. Enchanting gear would be a major event, costing a lot of gold or tied to story progressions. Special, one time, lore friendly upgrades (like the laboratory in blood and wine). Be fucking creative. And let us kill any monster at level 1 if we have the skill. Almost all witcher contracts are just "been there, done that" for geralt, he should be able to do them from the start. You can make the upgrades necessary for the main quest or special tasks (like, again, the thing with the ghost lamp) so they're still useful.
>>3990808This DLC is designed to ease the players into accepting a Woman as a main character
>>3990808I am in the middle of my wither 3 play through on Nintendo Switch. It is my first time playing this game and I love it. Cool to have another dlc, which I wasn't expecting for this old game.
>>3990808Which Witcher sorceress bitch is the hottest for you anons, outside of the main ones like Triss and Yen.Fringilla for me, maybe.
>>4056896The one who had her eyes poked out
>>4056933Phillipa? Eh, her face is weird and she's a stinky lesbo.
>>3990808Witcher game main plot lines are a fucking mess, they make politics of the setting even more contrived.
>>4056896Cynthia. I was glad to meet her again later on. The quest was fun too.
>>4032292Less than 1% of my playtime of W3 was me playing as Ciri.Nor did I particularly enjoyed the main story quest.Frankly, I think that W3 would be a better overall experience if they just cut the main plot about Ciri out.
>>4060004You're dead inside.
>>4060004>Frankly, I think that W3 would be a better overall experience if they just cut the main plot about Ciri out.That’s literally the whole plot, though. That’s the game. That’s the novels.
>>4061377>That’s literally the whole plot, though. That’s the game. That’s the novels.Yeah and the two DLC's where she isn't anywhere near the plot absolutely mog the main storyline
