After you help the mages escape Novigrad. I told Triss that I loved her so she would bang me. Did I ultimately negate the endgame romance with Yennifer by doing this? Is there a real option later to pick who you want to be with? Yennifer seems like the better pick in the end

in what way was the main story in BaW? and i'm not saying that in order to portray it as good even though i loved BaW i just don't think it's worse than the side quests. those vineyard side quests weren't the finest of quests you could play

>>378473008
The world of The Witcher does not take place on Earth.

>>378476270
the entire dlc revolves around syanna magically finding the one vampire in all of creation who can, because reason, fall for a human and throws a temper tantrum.

Damn you're ugly.

>>378477030
who says he is the only vampire who can fall for a human?

the main story has amazing quests like beyond hill and dale or the hidden elder i doubt it's less fun than the sidequests and i loved some of the sidequests in BaW especially talking roach

The world yes. It's lush and vibrent and makes it feel like a real fantasy, just like the first 2 books.

But story wise, Hearts of Stone wins. Much more focused, better paced, and Blood and Wine has the stupid bit where in 3 fucking days you couldn't find Anrietta's sister. I'll shit, that's Geralt, and he at that point not only knows enough about her, but has Regis of all fucking things to help him.

Picked up Witcher 1 and 2 during the RPG week on GoG.

it's fun. but don't drop it at the start witcher games get interesting 5+ hours in

I couldn't believe it when i lost all of my saves when i switched to the ps4 pro. it wouldn't recognize the dlc, and without that the saved were useless.

Yeah, I've heard a lot about chapter 4 being utterly amazing.

Apparently the game was being developed linearly and so CD Projekt Red got better at development as the story progressed.

>>378477008
Indeed. It apparently takes place on a country where 6 rainy days a week are the norm.

Is 3 really that much better if youve played the first 2 before? I tried witcher2 but couldnt really get into it...

You didn't finish it yet because there's so much good content, or because you have shit taste?

>>378479136
I mean if you wanna drop it, you should at least read a recap of all the events that happened during 2, or better yet, watch the cutscenes on youtube. It's not essential but there is definitely stuff you'll miss.

>>378479223
What part are you on?

I'm a little curious guys. I really like the Cat gear bonuses but I find the grandmaster hood to be fucking horrendous. Problem is I picked the game up on console for cheap and I don't want to get it on PC. What's a set with similar combat bonuses that isn't hard to look at?

Then you probably just got burned out. Because there is A LOT of shit to do in order to clear the map.

>>378479821

Unless you go in severely underleveled, the DLC is going to make Skellige into a cakewalk

>>378479739
Skellige's strength lies in it's main quest line more then the other base game areas. Just buy the maps from those random merchants, jump around islands collecting quests, then inter-splice main quests with side quests. It becomes much more enjoyable. Also, honestly fuck getting everything in the water, its the games only chore I'd say.

You also probably have burnout too, since you just cleared a lot of shit.

in the books they say they actually just decided on a name and accent to appear higher status or something, and to help them get clients and the like. Also in the books he helps in a battle at a bridge he's trying to cross and happens to help out the Rivian army, and the Queen lady whatever her name is actually knights him, so he's actually officially Geralt of Rivia way later on.

>>378496806
You certainly can, it's what I did.

>>378496806

Yes. I recommend finishing the story/cleaning up all the regular game then engaging HoS and finishing with B&W. B&W has a proper ending/send off for the series and it feels better to play last because you go to a completely new map, while HoS takes place on the same map youve been on, it uses completely new areas and all so its not shitty or whatever but it isnt an entire change of scenery while B&W is.

It rains about as often as it does IRL if you don't live near a desert

I really can't get into this game and I want to get all the way through it. The game play is pretty horrendous and the fov is sicking. I mean I got through 1 and 2 but after 10 mins of playing this I just have to put it down because Geralt moves like a fucking tank and is super clunky

>>378500586

You got through 1 and 2 and you think 3 is clunky? It has bland gameplay in a lot of ways, but it's definitely smoother/more polished than 1 and 2.

That's not manticore

I completed everything, visited every single marker, did every quest, etc.

I see no point to doing NG+ really.

Every single time I've done the sidequest where the guy says "it's stopped raining, it hasn't rained in ages" it has been raining

Having just recently finished a NG+ run, I kind of wish I had just started a whole new game instead. It kind of kills any sense of progression if you start at the beginning with your build all figured out right out the gate. Not to mention they fucking ruined the Manticore armor for some unknown reason.

>on a chain of islands
>ina port city
>ina swamp
>along most of the left side west side of the map is a coastline

Gee it's almost like it rains more in certian parts of the world due to being closer to water or surrounded by it.

>that quest with the corpse and Yennefer on Hindarsfjall
>during the conversation with her afterwards you're given three or four of those white, not-conversation-ending dialogue options
>one of them is to berate her for destroying the garden and another is to comfort her
>depending on what order you choose she'll be either happy or upset with you

The attention to detail is impressive as fuck.

Which sidequest was that? I don't remember this line at all.

I'm more impressed by you remembering a name of an island in Skellige 2bh.
