You'll find the year is 2014 and we are eagerly awaiting TW3's release. Bioware has no place here because we still have faith there's a company that can end a vidya trilogy in a satisfying way.

Speaking of the upcoming Witcher 3, I have this theory that Ves is pregnant with Henselt's bastard and that's who "Whoreson Jr." in the leaked game files is referring to. Roche is probably helping her raise it.

>b-but Henselt is sterile
They broke the curse and he got one last rape in before he died. What, you thought all that was just for shock value/pathos? It was a plot hook for future games.

Triss didn't completely pretend to be Yen but she takes advantage of Geralt's addled state to lock him up in her rape dungeon. The point I remember most is Geralt going "LILAC AND GOOSEBERRIES? WHY DOES THIS SMELL INSTANTLY GIVE ME AN ERECTION?" and then Triss sidles up with Yen-stank all over her.

IIRC she was also cagey about their previous relationship to try to egg Geralt along into her pussy but it's been long enough I don't remember the specifics terribly well.

For what it's worth I do like reading for entertainment and I still enjoy the games take on witcha more than the books, generally speaking. Though I thought less of them than the other dude and certainly didn't read all of them before I moved on so it's possible they got better later.

That was only in that quasi-canon comedy side mission. So I don't think that counts.

>IIRC she was also cagey about their previous relationship to try to egg Geralt along into her pussy but it's been long enough I don't remember the specifics terribly well.
I just finished replaying TW1. First thing she says after Geralt fucks her is " A pleasure as always, Witcher". Geralt expresses confusion then Triss implies they've done it a lot before (rather than just a one night stand) and that Geralt has a lot to look forward to once they get back into things (implying both that they had a relationship in the past and that them having one again is inevitable). In Chapter 3 she also pressures him into a relationship with the implication that it's how things used to be before (but graciously insists that if he doesn't feel the same way anymore, she'll " try to understand") while simultaneously telling him it's possible no one could fix his memory and it's better to try to forge his own identity.

It's very well done and except for the part in the prologue very subtle. Makes the amnesia thing more than just a conceit required to explain the world to new players, and adds a twist to the romance subplot that makes it interesting both for people that were already fans for the books, and new people that had no idea what was coming in the next game.

I can't wait to see how CDPR handles the fall out in TW3. Yen is going to be so pissed.

The games take a different tone by virtue of having to be video games and not books. I usually see people claim the first two books (which are actually short story collections combined with a loose plot tying them together) are the best so I'm not sure if you'd like the later ones. But then, maybe the change in tone and focus starting in the novels proper would suit you better? Depends on why you preferred the games over the books.

Unless of course your preference has little to do with story telling elements,and more to do with preferring an interactive medium, in which case it won't matter.

Good heavens, you haven't played Witcher 3 yet? You're in for a treat. And some disappointment, but mostly treats. Though I should talk since I played the Witcher games in a kind of fucky order. Witcher 1 first, never played the enhanced edition, then a little bit of Witcher 2 and inexplicably stopped playing it, and then maybe the first chapter of Witcher 3 and then stopped because it ran like complete garbage on my computer, then back to and completed Witcher 2, then an orgy of Witcher 3 and all the DLC/season pass at once after I upgraded my machine. In the end it sort of worked out fine for me because oddly enough I enjoyed 2 more after having played some of 3.

I also agree that Triss trying to take advantage of Geralt is pretty well done. It's not too mustache twirlingly evil but it shows some of the flaws in her character, even if the flaw is still kind of waifu bait since stealing your dirty underwear so she can huff your ball sweat isn't really on the same level as Yen flaws, but still.

>>187332217

I like Dijkstra because of his sharp mind and wits but him being the biggest Geralt x Triss shipper in the game only makes him better. Now if only he didn't act like a retard in Reasons of State...

>>187331207
Triss did act opportunistic, no question there, but their whole romance happened because Geralt insisted on it. Most of their romantic interactions happen on his initiative. There are even times when Triss is reluctant and demands that Geralt proves he's serious about them before she commits fully(the ring, how he behaves around Alvin). People give way little credit to Geralt imo. He takes it upon himself to decide individual fates of many people and even the whole kingdoms, he fucks half the Continent in the first game, he is perfectly capable deciding whether he wants to be with Triss or not. She never forced him to do anything and he refused hearing about the past at KM. Triss is there for him to talk about the things he experiences along the way and she encourages him to form a personality outside of her influence saying it should help with the memory loss, which it does. What really seals the deal of him not being a victim is TW2, even after he learns about Yen and remembers some parts of their past, he can still continue to romance Triss and even express love to her. Geralt is a big boy, amnesia or not.
>>
>>187332217
Triss trying to " steal" Geralt is kind of pathetic bad college relationship level flaws. It's sad but not that signficiant and certainly doesn't make her evil. Her major character flaws are her tendency to blindly fall in with authority on the promise of any kind of acceptance, and that's where she does truly bad things. But for some reason no one remembers that stuff. It's because most gamers care way more about waifu character traits than non-waifu related character traits.

Same reason Yen's daddy issues and problems with committed relationships are considered to make her a grey complex character along with Geralt when in reality both Geralt and Yen are both morally fairly black and white good guys outside of the first couple books.

There's probably a lot you could armchair psychologist over about nerds and how much more morally significant they find relationship drama vs. events that steer nations and end or save thousands of lives but instead I'll just say waifufags a shit.

Windows 10 should be negligible in terms of performance differences unless the drivers are hosed or something. Maybe double check the options and make sure it's properly toning shit down. I remember there being some option in W2 which absolutely destroys performance but I can't think of the name of it off the top of my head. Theoretically it should be disabled but maybe something fucky is going on.

>>187332309
Ah, I gotcha. That was part of the disappointment I was talking about. I certainly enjoy W3 but they dropped the ball fairly hard in a few areas. Buddy of mine considers it his favorite game of all time and I could see the reasoning behind that even with the flaws.

Ubersampling is disabled, yeah. Honestly I've had lots of things go wrong after windows 10 installed itself on multiple computers that there's no logical reason should be connected to the OS but it keeps happening.

>>187332647
>Her major character flaws are her tendency to blindly fall in with authority on the promise of any kind of acceptance
That's why I find her Lodge across the games subplot amazing. She starts TW1 still working for them, but she gets disillusioned and by the time TW2 ends, depending on the choices, she takes Geralt's side and testifies against them at the Loc Muinne summit. Knowing how whipped she was by them in the books, this is a huge step for her. And in TW3, we can see her trying to find her own place in the world, guided by her own ideals rather than following others. There we finally see the true nature of her idealism and the genuine desire to help others. She also steps up and takes the role of a leader, something that doesn't come easy for her. I think she shows a lot of growth.

In the books I never thought her actions were particularly horrible. People act like she runs the Lodge, but she is a mere follower to Philippa. That doesn't excuse her but she genuinely believed they acted of the greater good. She shows remorse and questions herself during her convo with Nenneke. And let's be real, even if Triss stood up to Phil, there's not much she can do. Philippa outclasses her, she's older, wiser, smarter, more manipulative, stronger, more influential and powerful. Triss can only end up in her sex dungeon or whatever. Also, I see people saying how Triss was ready ot let Ciri be married in Kovir, but failing to mention that even Yen accepted that in the end. That's how formidable Phil is.

I can't wait to see what Radovid's master plan is. No way he's not well aware of the thread Nilfgaard poses. Even the massacre at Loc Muinne must be part of some kind of contingency.

>>187333481
I might agree if they hadn't fucked up in The Witcher 3 with everything either brushed under the rug or her actively crying about Philippa maybe being hurt but, they did. People that have read the books take it hard on Triss because again, people are way more affected by these personal emotional betrayals than conspiracies and war crimes. Philippa does far worse but you expect that from Philippa, so you don't get quite so upset. People that love a good villain even like her for it even as they feel bad for her victims. Triss though doesn't offer much for either the big plot guys (since as you say, she's mostly just a follower in over her head) or the personal emoetional connection guys (who are inevitably rooting for Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer). Thus the disproportionate reaction.

Also I'm sure I've read this exact same post from you before, word for word. So yeah. Gonna talk to other people now.
>>
>>187333537
>well W3 is definitely a better game than the other two,
Depends on how you figure. I think you can make a good argument for any game of the trilogy being the best game of the three, but I'd argue TW2 was the best all around.

>>187333624
Ok see that makes sense. If you haven't read the books then a lot of TW3's flaws in plot terms are easily rationalized away with a simple "Well I don't get it but I'm sure it makes more sense if I'd read the books." Only if you'd read them would you realize that, well, no. It doesn't.
>>
>>187334012
I just want to see the big clashes promised in the open world. The front is actually supposed to move while you play. Imagine say, stumbling on a clash between Knights of the Flaming Rose and Nilfgaardian cavalry and either walking away or intervening and changing who owns that stretch of No-Man's Land. I think I'm even more excited for stuff like that than the injury system they promised for hunting big monsters.
>>
>>187334246
The Lodge situation gets resolved at the end of TW2 imo. There isn't much left there. They are declared enemies, they are persecuted and not much is left for them. Their plans failed. Triss is not actively crying over Philippa being hurt, she expresses slight concern at best and her being more of the side of her former colleges over Radovid, the madman torturing them to death, isn't that surprising. Even Yen leans more toward them.

The main reason some people vilify Triss are the waifu wars from TW3. Her worst action in the books is refusing to clear Yen's name(actually Philippa does and Triss is too much of coward to stand up to her) and going with Lodge's plans to marry Ciri(which Yen also agrees on later).

And Triss' positive actions in both the books and the games trump any bad thing she did.
>>
>>187335145
>(which Yen also agrees on later).
Oh come on now. I wasn't going to respond to you but Yennefer agrees to that plan in the same way Poland agreed to be divided between the USSR and Germany. That's just silly.
>>
>>187335426
Yeah, but it goes to show the authority Philippa has. We know how much Yen loves Ciri and that she would do anything for her, yet she is forced to accept their will. Expecting Triss(who is not exactly known for her bravery) to go against Phil is unrealistic. Blaming Triss for the Lodge's actions is like blaming Romania or Hungary for WW2.

>>187336983
I think TW3 wins best Geralt if you leave out Blood and Wine where he turns into generic RPG protagonist. But if you don't then TW2 was most true to his characterization. Which is very impressive considering the array of choices the player is given. It has to be very hard to make all those mutually exclusive actions something Geralt would conceivably do.

I hope CDPR has a huge financial crisis in the future. They seem to do their best work when operating under threat of bankruptcy.

>>187337227
HoS has a far better story than BaW, more interesting plot and characters. Atmosphere wise Toussaint is pretty great and HoS while having moments like the wedding and the Everec mansion is same old Novigrad.

Feels wise, the ending of BaW is quite emotional and having Triss visit is a pretty big deal for me. She gives me more feels than anything.

>>187337341
Not showing up would mean she's showing weakness and being hurt. She came there to fake indifference.
>>
>>187337832
>Atmosphere wise Toussaint is pretty great
Personally I found the colors over saturated and I don't like accordion music so I guess I'm biased. I actually can't remember a single piece of music from Blood and Wine though, besides remembering the general atmospheric theme annoying me.

>Feels wise, the ending of BaW is quite emotional and having Triss visit is a pretty big deal for me
Standard biodrone response then. Have Geralt directly address the player then shove in their waifu. 10/10 game of the year.

>Not showing up would mean she's showing weakness and being hurt. She came there to fake indifference.
That would imply she still has hope or cares what they think about her. Given her actions in Sword of Destiny even before she got a lot of character development in later books, she'd go the avoidant route. She only feigned indifference during break ups there when circumstances forced them together. Otherwise she actively avoided him. And this would be a way bigger deal than any of those.

Ah who are we kidding, she'd an hero as soon as she saw how happy Ciri was with her new mama/big sis in this reality.
>>
In TW1, why wasn't the face of the Scoia'tael Toruviel instead of Yaevinn? Yaevinn has always and will always be a huge asshole. They try to make it a hard choice but when the two sides are selling the same shit, but one salesman is Siegfried and the other is Yaevinn, there's just no contest.

Yen shows ass in the opening scene.

>There's a dummied out fat body? And they bothered to give Phil a unique body? Weird. Can I get a comparison of these somewhere?
There's a fat nude body that I never saw in the game but it's there. Using Sbui you can view it(there is also Shani lingerie model). Phil doesn't have a unique nude body, it's the body one of the hookers uses. I can make a comparison, but not now, I'm not on my main PC.

Can't decide if I want gigni or caretaker in weather control Dagon deck. I know caretaker is the more widely accepted choice but people play control Dagon less these days anyway, and gigni last game against discard Skellige which is the ideal caretaker matchup ended up being an 18 point play by roasting a pirate captain. I guess the ideal move is stealing a skirmisher or jacking his Olgierd in round 1 but gigni's nice, especially with shit like Caranthir to force rowstacking. I probably should update my list though since I'm still running mardromeme for god's sake.

I bought the Witcher Enhanced Edition yesterday and I am about to start my first playthrough. Can anyone recommend me some good mods for this game? I have heard the combat is very horrible and can be fixed with proper mods.

Any general tips would be appreciated too. And the books are not mandatory to understand the story, right? I really don't want to spend months reading the books, before playing the games...
>>
>>187353126
Books definitely aren't mandatory. If anything they would come into play more for Witcher 2 and 3, but even those are fine without.

Dunno about mods as I can't say as I ever played it with mods. There's a slight rhythm game nature to Witcher 1's combat which isn't too horrible in the grand scheme of things so it might be worth trying vanilla first to see if it even bothers you that much. It has more stance changing than the other games, too. Most horrible part I remember about the combat is the fact that you're going to be running around in that goddamn swamp for 20 hours. There are a lot of cool quests and shit that happens in that swamp, but it doesn't change the fact that you're going to be in there for fucking ever.
>>

The Witcher Overhaul Project
Rise of the White Wolf Enhanced Edition

That's all you need, no need for books. The actual combat is comfy. The worst part of the game are the design decisions in how it relates to questing, like the swamp shit anon above mentioned
>>
>>187353409
Alright, thanks a lot, I think I am just going to grab the visual mods/re-textures. No gameplay overhauls for the first playthrough. And I am looking forward to this Swamp area.
>>
>>
>>187353951
Thanks for the mods suggestion. Both the re-texture project and UI overhaul look very lore-friendly.
>>
>>187353126
There's nothing wrong with the combat, it's just not an ARPG like the other two. Gamers today are just kiddies that only like third person shooters.

>Any general tips would be appreciated too. And the books are not mandatory to understand the story, right?
Not mandatory to get the absolute basics no.

>I really don't want to spend months reading the books, before playing the games...

Play the first and second games then read the books after Geralt gets his memory back. Also play TW2 twice or you haven't actually finished it.
>>
>>187356004
You'd be better off reading nothing than a wiki entry or whatever. They're often really inaccurate. You're just going to be coming here annoying people with hit about how Triss is a wraith resurrected by the Wild Hunt or how all sorceresses are actually hags hiding under an illusion or Geralt having elder blood and other bullshit.

Well for starters, the Witcher doesn't have lore, it's got backstory. Novels try not to introduce much setting detail that's totally useless and just sits in an encyclopeda to the side like a Bioware game. And Sapkowski wasn't big on world building anyway since he was never trying to emulate tabletop RPG campaign.

Your Google-fu may be questionable because the very first thing I turned up sounds extremely similar to your situation. Dude played with maxed settings on W7 and then it ran like hell in W10. Apparently his solution was running the GoG version as opposed to Steam since Steam was giving it the shits which sounds iffy to me but if that's an option for you it may be a shot. If a GoG copy isn't an option, try disabling the Steam overlay. Steam, settings, in-game, then remove the tick for enable the Steam overlay while in-game.

No idea if Steam's causing it like that dude or if disabling the Steam overlay would help, but on the off chance it IS Steam doing it that would be my first stab and troubleshooting. Also don't hack my IP bro, just spreading truthbombs.

>>187357221
Pretty much what the other anon said word for word. Generally speaking I like witcha's setting better in large part because it mostly avoids loredumps. One thing that tends to kill fantasy for me is if it goes too far up its own ass too quickly.
>>

Also to expand on the Google-fu, use quotes. Got wrapped up telling you about what I found rather than giving a link and how I found it.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/20920/discussions/0/535152511373811251/

Found thing, and thing was found by searching "witcher 2" windows 10 performance
The quotes being key. If you're not aware that forces Google to look for the thing in quotes, so in this case it's specifically looking for Witcher followed by 2 rather than just typing witcher 2 which would give you Witcher 3 thread where someone is talking about 2cat.

>Apparently his solution was running the GoG version as opposed to Steam since Steam was giving it the shits which sounds iffy to me but if that's an option for you it may be a shot.
You know TW1 ran kind of shitty for me in steam this time too, but I hadn't played it on that laptop before and just figured it was poorly optimized. I'll give it a try,

>googlefu
In my defense, your results probably aren't the same as mine. Maybe I biased it towards Wild Hunt while searching for sfm porn or something.

That's what's holding me back. On the one hand it sounds like it would be an inexpensive casual time waster since I would never do raids or anything. On the other hand I don't really give much of a shit about the TES setting and MMOs typically drive me up the wall. Probably won't pick it up because of that and because of the Xcom 2 expansion, bigass Gwent patch, Divinity Original Sin 2, and Dishonored 2 expansion all coming in the immediate future. Think there might even be some stuff I'm forgetting but I'm not sure, like I think Battletech is supposed to be this year.

Wouldn't that be a positive? Most of the grognards like me hate it for being another nail in the coffin of everything that made it unique back in the Morrowind days.

Is Gwent actually any good? I don't trust CDPR with game balance and all the "free to play" stuff makes me nervous. Though tbf I'm also biased that we got this instead of an enhanced edition.

I'd still call it a negative. Being casually in to the setting would be a positive and really enjoying the setting would make it a negative again like you mentioned. Morrowind was the only TES where I enjoyed the setting and lore but even that one I didn't go wild with it.

>>187360220
I'm much more of a Gwent player than I am a Witcher player since I love me some goddamn card games, but asking if it's good is a bit of a loaded question right now. Currently it's pretty decent if you play it casually but at the top end there are some dominant decks which admittedly is true of all card games, but in Gwent's case since there's so little RNG (Even for card drawing due to small deck size, constant mulligans and blacklist system, and tutor and card draw cards) that top end play almost always plays out the same way every single time. They're putting out a huge patch that's going to change something like 70% of the cards and add more cards in a week or two so shit will get shaken up then.

I can tell you in all honest it's probably the most free to play card game out there though. The "Deck cost" in individual card crafting materials is low and uniform so it's not like there are any wildly expensive decks, and you can very easily get a pack of cards a day and can reach 2 packs of cards a day without much more effort. Super free to play friendly, you just want to make sure you don't burn yourself out getting fucked up the ass before you start getting a card pool and learn how to play. Limiting yourself to the 100 and maybe the 75 ore daily tiers per day is probably best, then once you've got a better deck you can go hog wild if you want.
>>

>>187360790
The campaign idea is still weird as fuck.

>Geralt: We have to stop Vilgefortz the only way I know how. By defeating him in a children's card game.
>>
>>187361125
Yeah, I'm not too sure how the campaign will pan out. Mildly annoyed to hear that the paid campaign can only be purchased with cash, since I dumped some money on cards with the thought of "Oh, well I enjoy playing the game now and if I collect all the cards early I can just stockpile ore for the campaign!" but such is life. Kind of hoping they let you craft the cards (Since there will be singleplayer-only campaign cards, but also something like 20 cards you earn from the campaign that can be used in multiplayer) with scrap, in which case I'll just use my huge mountain of ill-gotten scrap to get the cards and probably watch the campaign on Youtube or something.
>>
>>187362527
Yeah frankly I found the whole "oh we'll fix all the plot holes and glaring omissions with a paid card mini game" thing insulting.

You can fix one, and only one of the following flaws with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

>Ciri is restored to something resembling her book personality
>The course of the Third Northern War makes sense. This includes both Nilfgaard and Redanian victory scenarios.
>The main "family" from the books features more heavily and actualy behaves like they like each other
>Iorveth and possibly Saskia return

Ciri has a stroke and becomes more a daughterfu by regressing to the mentality of a 4 year old while still being cognizant enough of what she's lost to mourn it.

Those giant puffy nipples that practically cover the whole tit(especially if the tits are small). It's rare and hot to me, especially if the girl is beautiful.

>>187372216
Yeah but that's not a deformity, that's just yet another of the myriad and beautiful forms of the areola.
>>
>>187372216
>>187372306
I miss when the Witcher series had nipple diversity. Fuck the racial stuff, I want to see more than one kind of tit. TW2 had every color and multiple size and texture combinations. Every tit in TW3 has the same sized/shaped nipple and areola. Just ranging from pink to light brown.

A step back desu senpai
>>
>>187372306
Not technically, but I'm talking freakishly large.
>>
>>187372435
I know the kind you mean. Where it looks like they skinned half an orange, painted it brown, and taped it to their breast?

Still not a deformity, still beautiful.
>>
>>187372410
This. Not only that, but the bodies all look similar and the texture is the same in TW3. I miss Triss' puffy nipples and hairy vagina from TW2.
>>
>>187372492
Yeah, that's the one. Sure, not a deformity but it's close. Kind of like having a giant nose or a small cock or tits.
>>
>>187372550
Even TW1 had visible bush.
>>
>>187372647
I still have to disagree. Small tits are a matter of taste. Tits are always beautiful as long as they aren't horribly scarred or something. It's just what you prefer. Though honestly I pretty much like them all. Just bored of the "standard" nipple that you see in everything. Or do you like them precisely because they seem ugly to you?
>>
>>187372683
They toned it down bush wise not to upset the mass audience. Fuck that, I like a good bush. Triss had one, Ves had one, dryad had one, vampire chicks...I want hot bushes DLC.

This is the epitome of video game discussions.
>>
>>187372760
Small tits are fine, but I'm talking extremes here. Like having no tits at all or having a 5cm cock.

I always imagined Ciri to be very unkept down there. Yen I think trims.
>>
>>187373175
Did I imagine elves being said to have little body hair? Because if it's true, Yennefer's a quarter elf and Ciri has a bunch of elf alleles recapitulated in a human body. I'd think they'd be quite spare. I may prefer a good bush personally but we must exercise bush realism.
>>
>>187373132
Yeah, definitely. Like I said initially, small imperfections on an otherwise beautiful girl turn me on. That's why I enjoy Triss' hideous ears.
>>
>>187373175
Ciri's bush is worse Geralt's lice-filled beard.
>>
>>187373287
I've never even heard of this fetish. It's interesting. Any other examples? I didn't even know about Triss's ears, they're not visible with the default outfit.
>>
>>187373271
I don't remember elf hairiness being mentioned but they do seem to be less hairy as a general rule. Still, one quarter elf isn't enough to make a significant difference, maybe a slightly thinner bush. With Ciri it could be true I guess. The color of Ciri's pubes is a bigger mystery.

Yennefer's often mistaken for an elf from a distance in the books. Elf genes seem to run pretty strong.

>The color of Ciri's pubes is a bigger mystery.
She has really dark eyebrows. And in the books her hair is darker than in the games. So probably pretty dark.

I don't know, it ranges from having an ugly mole or a scar to maybe missing a limb in the most extreme cases. I don't even know if the fetish has a name, most likely it does, but I don't know it.

Triss' default hair didn't require ears so they made them a bit too large when they had to slap them on later for her alt outfit.

I hate it when faggots pretend to have read the books or played the previous games and regurgitate the shit they read from some other faggot that's the same as them. Reddit is full of that ilk.

But yeah, I'd have no problem with Triss having scarred chest, it would be a bonus turn on. Like she doesn't hit enough of my fetishes already.

It's fucking everywhere. I don't even remember people doing that shit for ASOIAF in /got/ threads. It's weird. Are gamers so illiterate that not only can they not read a book to completion, but they think finishing a book series is such a triumph that they should pretend they've done it anyway?

Though to be fair at the worst of the waifuwar I'm not sure the thread was any better than this for being 10 times as fast with 20 times as many posters. Witcher threads were best far between releases until the lead up to Hearts of Stone somehow killed them.

I agree. I like /wtc/ best when it moves at a moderate speed. When you burn several threads a day it loses some of its charm imo.

Still, most people have moved on. It's been over two years and not many new people will play the game to keep the influx of new players healthy. I've seen so many posters come and go, and there were a few times when I was about to let it die due to extreme inactivity, but suddenly a burst of activity happens and somehow it lives another day.

Also, people have discussed pretty much everything many times over, hardly ever a new topic comes up. Hell, even the pubes thing. I think I saw it discussed at least 20 different times since I'm here. I think it's a mater of weeks before it's done for good.

An old dedicated fan comes back to reminisce or share some new insights, tries to connect with others doing the same, finds a /meg/ tier wasteland; and failing, leaves. So /wtc/ limps on.

There's actually textual support for that one. It's not conclusive but it's there.

kek there are people that think he had amnesia in the books? Do they think they've "read the books" because they believe the games are a remake and not a sequel?

I don't see it. I don't get why people assume the magic thing to be malicious. Magic can be used for seduction in far more subtle ways. Also the context of the passage with Geralt needing company as well as the words "brief relationship" along with how Geralt treats Triss and how he even takes responsibility for what has happened between them during the conversation where he turns her down. I don't see Triss being written like that, she's more of a naive, idealistic coward than a scheming rapist. Also, I don't buy that Sapkowski wrote his protagonist as an oblivious rape victim. And of course, love potion, drink and that shit is never mentioned anywhere.

They haven't played the previous games or read the books. They see the amnesia thing being mentioned and they mix it up. Then they want to act smart and be waifufaggots.
>>
>>187377728
I'm just saying that while I see that as a stretch it's not totally ridiculous and utterly without basis like the other stuff you mentioned. For my part I took the "with the help of a little magic" thing to probably be more along of Yen's handy viagra spell than a roofie. Just made him extra horny at a vulnerable moment. Not exactly rape. Although, not very nice, either.
>>

I don't know. I don't watch a lot of TV. I recently binge watched GoT for the first time and before that I think the last show I watched were The Sopranos and that was 10+ years ago. I'm not too interested in the show. I'll only check it out because it's the Witcher but I don't see myself going to threads about it, but who knows...
>>
>>187377890
>I'll only check it out because it's the Witcher but I don't see myself going to threads about it, but who knows...
If they bother to cast Triss for the first season instead of waiting you'll be there and you know it. Given it's tv and execs love forced love triangles i wouldn't be surprised if they do just that and have Triss appear earlier and much more prominently than in the books.
>>
>>187377871
Triss' seduction of Geralt in the books is a shitty thing to do because it's opportunistic and she only did it out of jealousy and curiosity, and Yen is her close friend, so yeah, not the nicest thing, but far from rape.

I always remember Keira's game quest. You can describe it easily as Keira seduced Geralt with the help of a little magic. She conjured up the clothes, horses, created the mood...but there wasn't anything malicious about it and there is nothing wrong in trying to seduce a person you like. The whole thing is described as seduction. Seduction is not rape.

I feel it's out of basis if you closely look at the context of the passage and the whole first part of BoE and how Geralt treats Triss. You don't invite your rapist to take care of your daughter among other things. Not to mention he openly takes responsibility for it. People give no credit to Geralt sometimes.

>>187377947
I don't think Triss will be there in the first season. I think they will cover some of the short stories in the first one and start the Saga from the second. I don't want them giving Triss some made up role she didn't have in the books and I certainly don't want a love triangle. Besides, whatever actress they hire for Triss, there's no way I could ever view her as the Triss I love.
>>

Yeah it could have been that too but Triss never struck me as subtle nor as that being the kind of thing Sapkowski would bother to mention. But it's a single line so again, mostly speculation.

> and how Geralt treats Triss. You don't invite your rapist to take care of your daughter among other things.
Well obviously Geralt wouldn't know in this instance if his boner was magical and not just him being his usual horny self. It's not like he hasn't done dumb shit before. Look how he treated Essi.

I played Geralt as monogomous once Yennefer was back in the picture anyway. Seemed more in character.

Gotta wonder how many sex cards Yennefer collected back in Nilfgaard before she was captured though.
>>
>>187378381
>It's not like he hasn't done dumb shit before. Look how he treated Essi.
Actually come to think of it, him fucking Yennefer on Belleteyn was actually kinda scummy. She repeatedly said she didn't want to but just couldn't stop if he pressed the issue.

Geralt is kind of an asshole. He probably assumed what happened with Triss was entirely his fault. Even felt guilty about it. The perfect crime.
>>
>>187378381
But that would imply that Sapkowski wrote him as an oblivious rape victim and I jsut don't see it. Especially considering the whole tragic infatuation and general way Triss is written. She might not be the subtle seductive type, but she's no manipulative raping one either. And the line is very tame and coupled with their other interactions...I just don't see it.

>>187378440
No way, at least physically. Game Triss will forever remain my image of the character. A real human actress breaks my immersion.

>>187378510
I play a super monogamous Geralt. He never cheated on Triss once during the whole trilogy, but I did one horndog playthorugh to see all the waifus. Hell, I even did one Yen playthrough.

>>187378648

They'll find a big titted ginger with a wide face easily enough. Especially since the UK has tax breaks for filming there.

>I play a super monogamous Geralt. He never cheated on Triss once during the whole trilogy, but I did one horndog playthorugh to see all the waifus. Hell, I even did one Yen playthrough.
Correct way to play Geralt is emotionally retarded horndog in TW1, emotionally retarded but slightly confused and guilty guy in TW2 with only one significant deviation from Triss, then monogomous autistic waifufag in TW3.
>>
>>187378784
>then monogomous autistic waifufag in TW3.
Specifically a monogomous autistic Yenfag. I should have made that clear.
>>
>>187378712
I mean, if she actually used any type of mind control or a drug, that would definitely be a rape, but such a thing was never mentioned. Seducing a man when he's down and vulnerable is shady but it's no rape. But yeah, we have our views, we don't have to agree.

>>187378784
>They'll find a big titted ginger with a wide face easily enough.
It doesn't matter. I'll know she's a real person pretending to be someone else. Immersion broken.

You can play Geralt however you prefer, but I play him as someone who gets attached to Triss early in the first game, develops a relationship with her and falls in love. Then his memory comes back and so does his love for Yen, so he's conflicted. He parts with Triss and goes to see how things stand between him and Yen, but after meeting Triss in Novigrad he realizes she is the one for him and they fuck of to Kovir. That's my Geralt.
>>
>>
>>187379102
>I mean, if she actually used any type of mind control or a drug, that would definitely be a rape, but such a thing was never mentioned.
I mean it gets a bit semantic. Like sleeping with a drunk girl is skeevy but is it rape? If it is, it's a lesser form of rape than drugging someone and fucking them while they're passed out. I think what we're dealing with is more the former than the latter.

>It doesn't matter. I'll know she's a real person pretending to be someone else.
You know Jaimi Barbakoff isn't really Triss right. She's not even American.
>>
>>187379102
>Then his memory comes back and so does his love for Yen,

There's actually an ambiguous line in a sequence in TW1 that could be read as implying Geralt misses Yen and Ciri on some level despite not remembering they exist in explicit terms. Only noticed it recently. Probably deliberately ambiguous though, like Triss's "So you love me and have forgotten about her?" thing being easy to read as referring to Shani on the surface, but at the same time maybe actually being a slip referring to Yennefer.
>>
>>187379307
Depending on how drunk the girl is. If she's drunk but willing and in a good mood, that's not rape. If she's passed out and you fuck her, than it's as different story, but yeah, we're dealing to something more similar to the former.

>Jaimi Barbakoff
I was talking more about the physical appearance. Besides, Jaimi is not my Triss, I play in Polish. Polish Triss is perfection imo.

>>187379402
>So you love me and have forgotten about her?
Yeah, I always view that line as if it refers to Yen. it's probably never intended too when the first game released, but given the context of the books and all three games, it fits way better.

And Geralt missing Yen and Ciri on a subconscious level would also be realistic, they are the two most important figures in his life.
>>
>>187379782

Do you actually speak Polish?

It's hard to tell. The writing in TW1 is such an uneven mix of mediocrity with nuggets of stupidity and brilliance.
>>
>>187379889
No, but I'm a Slav and I do understand some words and it's fairly easy to follow. Plus, I like the consistency of voices between games and I prefer Polish Geralt and Triss. Also, it increases my immersion and gives me that nice slav feel.

>>187379948
They clearly didn't know what they wanted and I highly doubt they planned a trilogy, so yeah, I tend to be more lenient when judging the first game. That line though fits way better for Yen, so whatever they intended, I don't give a fuck, I interpret it like that.
>>
>>187380369
>and I prefer Polish Geralt and Triss.
Well, Doug Cockle and Jaimi Barbakoff are the two worst actors in the English version.

>and I highly doubt they planned a trilogy, so yeah,
It's pretty clear that they never planned a trilogy at any point. They may or may not have always wanted to do a trilogy, but they sure as hell didn't plan it ahead much. Only reason it's not a complete mess is that they hired better writers than Bioware had.

Lambert is the worst one for me. Cockle is alright, but, Polish Geralt is just perfect imo. He sounds badass without trying to do a rough voice. Jaimi is just average, sometimes she sucks and sometimes I like her, she's not very consistent.

I think they planned a trilogy since TW2. It plants the seed for future story and it was clearly written with sequel in mind.

>>187380586
Triss is not fat. She's thicc.

>>187380912

Lambert sounds like a whiny prick to me and I think that's exactly what they were going for.

>Jaimi is just average, sometimes she sucks and sometimes I like her, she's not very consistent.
I think the fake American accent must make her struggle. Would explain the inconsistency. Plus in her defense, some of her starting lines in TW2's prologue are crap.

>I think they planned a trilogy since TW2. It plants the seed for future story and it was clearly written with sequel in mind.
They really failed to reap then.
>>
>>187381280
>Lambert sounds like a whiny prick
His voice is too high pitched. He sounds like he didn't hit puberty to me.

>Jaimi
When I first heard her in TW3, I thought they changed the actress again, but whatever, she alright for a playthrough or two. Polish Triss is for life.

>They really failed to reap then.
Tell me about it. I remember having several save files prepared for import, thinking which one should I go with first, but nothing came out of it. Political story was swept aside. I get why they did it, TW3 was the first Witcher game for a lot of people and it needed to be as standalone as possible. They could have done a far better job with it though and give something to the older fans too and not completely fuck them over for new console market.

I don't like it either. TW2 is my favorite story wise. I don't think there's much to get in TW3's plot though. Find Ciri and kill the bad guys is all you need to know on the most basic level some people play the game anyway.

But what's there doesn't make sense. If anything it being a sequel helped it because it makes people that haven't played the rest of the games or read the books less likely to question plot holes.

Dark Souls was a huge success and it's not easy. People will play it just to say they've played it if it has enough inertia behind it. They won't play it long but who cares, you'll have their 60 bucks and most people barely play any of the games they own anyway.

>>187382448

>>
>>187382121
I wouldn't say it doesn't make sense, but it's not really done that well. Wild Hunt is very underdeveloped and the game focused more on the muh feels moments with Ciri than their enemies. I like muh feels moments, but I also like an interesting villains and story and TW2 had the best, morally ambiguous villains in the series. Phil, Letho, Henselt, Shilard, Dethmold, Sile, Loredo...all brilliant and all with realistic motivations. TW3 has one liner Eredin, I like succubi whores Imlerith, crazy Radovid, generic evil creep Whoreson, but to be fair it also has Gaunter, The Crones.

I think they just wanted to keep it simple, at least as far as the main quest goes. TW2 needed several playthorughs to full get the story and some people complained it was too political.

Third act and Ciri stopping the Frost is also very stupid stupid, so I tend to ignore it as much as I can.

What do you mean? I get why they did those muh feels moments. With the main story revolving so heavily over Ciri, they needed to make the players care for her. That led to her flaws being swept under the rug with the perfect daughterfu remaining. But I'm not gonna lie, I like the Geralt/Ciri scenes.
>>
>>187382590
>TW2 needed several playthorughs to full get the story and some people complained it was too political.
This is why devs shouldn't listen to what consumers say. TW2 saved the studio and put them in the mainstream. Reversing course afterwards is stupid.

>>187382725
The biggest muh feels moment for Ciri is the Empress ending, which is full on retarded with none of the characters involved acting like themselves and the plot bending over backwards just to allow it at all.
>>
>>187382761
>The biggest muh feels moment for Ciri is the Empress ending
I think finding her is a more emotional moment. I also prefer the snow fight and the lab. But I'm not a big fan of the Empress ending. It is hard on the feels though.

About TW2, I agree. I love that game to death, in many ways it's my favorite in the series.
>>
>>187382898
TW2 may well be the best written game ever made and I'll always be sad the studio that made it chose to abandon that way of doing things. The moments of brilliance in TW3 and all the set up from TW2 just makes it grate all the more.

They won't. TW3 did far better than TW2 so most likely they'll follow its example, even if I'd argue that it would have done just as well if not better if they'd stuck to a more TW2 style formula.

Cyberpunk is also burdened with a lack of a real protagonist and is a tabletop setting and not a novel, so their writers have less to work with. Their own work has seen mixed success. The Philip Strenger stuff was all great and totally original, but the Detlaff crap in Blood and Wine felt like it came from another company entirely.

Yennefer betrayed Emhyr by helping at least one Lodge member escape. She didn't exactly do her upmost to convince Ciri to be Empress either, and aided Geralt in his various insubordinations. She's an enemy of the state.

>>187398169
Nothing major.
>>
>>187398169
I don't remember the price difference but merchants prices go down, alch/herbalists prices go up, and vise-versa depending on your choice. Killing the thing is the more practical thing to do because of how useless alch/herbalists are at this point of the game

I don't remember that. When does that happen? They see him when they arrive at Flotsam, and later she gets kidnapped. If you go down the Iorveth's path you can find him half dead and after they save him Triss teleports him somewhere to get treated and comes back.

Sorry, I don't see it. Triss is only slut for Geralt and Iorveth faps to Saskia exclusively.

>>
>>187401153
I value Triss' actions. Directly saved Geralt's life 7 times, shows tremendous growth during the trilogy, helps innocent people in need, gets tortured for info about Dandelion, comes up with a plan to use Dudu as Menge, helps with the battle of KM, helps locate the Lodge members, helps Ciri during her transition, helps witchers defeat Salamandra and take their secrets back... And she's an absolute sweetheart while doing it.
>>
>>187401384
oh thats right

i only played it twice and that was years ago
>>
>>187401501
Even if I accept your count she's still hurt Geralt more than Yennefer and done less to help. I mean, you don't have to like either one of them but if Yen's a bitch then so is Triss. Again, unless you care more about tact than deeds.
>>
>>187401384
I liked how Geralt gets all jealous when Cedric shows interest in Triss. I doubt Triss has any interest in Cedric though, why would she when she finally has Geralt's wee wee to play with.

>>187401609
When did she hurt Geralt? The man is only alive thanks to her. I'm not that anon though, I never said Yen's a bitch nor do I want to take credit away from her. She died for Geralt for fucks sake. Yen's a cool gal, but I find Triss more interesting as a character and her interactions with Geralt and how he acts with her are more to my liking.

I guess so. And yeah, I've pretty much heard all there is when it comes to the great waifu war.

I do enjoy talking about her still though.

That trailer is excellent. They never made anything like that for TW3. Too cerebral for the mainstream console market I guess.
>>
>>187402446
>read the books,
Did you finally get around to that, really?

>I do enjoy talking about her still though.
Nonetheless you're not generally very fun to talk to about that. Other topics, sure. But when it comes to Triss the lack of responsiveness and iron clad formula of replies makes it feel more like talking to a waifu-themed chatbot than a human being.

Yeah, that conversation should have been in game imo. Still a great trailer and always pumps me up for TW2 politics.

Yen is mentioned in TW2 but yeah, I'd hardly call that a significant role. If they ever do a remake of TW1(they won't) I'd like it to have some additions to the story. I think it would be really fun to play as amnesiac Yen, during her travels with Letho and his gang. It would be a few hour addition to tW1's story and it would give people something new to look forward to other than just the remake.
>>
>>187402919
>Yen is mentioned in TW2 but yeah, I'd hardly call that a significant role.
No dialogue, doesn't count. Doesn't even have an in-game model.

>I think it would be really fun to play as amnesiac Yen, during her travels with Letho and his gang.
I was going to say I don't see how they'd fit that in but the game is already pretty meandering desu so why the fuck not. bring on the male sex cards.
>>
>>187402919
Sure and then they can rewrite TW2 to have the cut Dol Blathana act and do an enhanced edition of TW3 where Act 3 makes sense and characters besides Geralt get focus like in TW2.
>>
>>187402639
I read them a while ago. Not SoS though.

Well, I defined my opinions on Triss to what they are now. There were changes along the way, but now yeah...and it's not like I don't reply to the same kinds of posts anyway.

>>187403059
>I was going to say I don't see how they'd fit that
I don't know, make it a separate story. It would be 4-5 hours long and cover what Yen was about during that time. Letho mentions they got into all kinds of trouble, that would be fun to see.

Bear in mind that it also depends on the facial expression. I made him smirk on purpose. But yeah, TW3 faces(at least for the major characters) are pretty good.

From an outside perspective, i remember the glowing praise i saw for Gwent around all gaming related shit, Nilfgaard meta era iirc. It seems to be in complete despair ever since, rip.
>>
>>187456836
Gwent is a really fucking weird story of how CDPR made (And by made I mean shamelessly ripped off a tabletop card game but don't tell anyone) a surprisingly fun card game which is more free to play than any of their competitors, and then is desperately trying their hardest to ruin it.

This might not mean much to you as an outsider, but as an example the rate of patches in closed beta was fairly slow and steady and was mostly tweaking card values and shit. Then when they moved to open beta, which is the first impression they're going to make on a hell of a lot of people since it's no longer "Dedicated card nerds scrambling for access" and anyone can play, they up and decided to completely change a fuckton of the cards and even dramatically change a lot of the basic mechanics of the game. Then they took longer to push out card changing patches than they did in closed beta, and now they're doing yet another major "Change fucking everything" patch which is editing like 70% of the card pool and changing major mechanics again. It's weird as fuck. You would think you'd want to do the crazy shit in closed beta where you're just dealing with the enthusiasts, rather than dumping the normies in completely untested waters and then pulling the rug out from under them. Admittedly it's still a beta but it's open beta and version number 0.9.numbers so it seems odd that they're pulling this shit so close to release.

Then on top of all that bitching there's just the nonsense like what I frogposted. They said a ranked season was going to be approximately 2 months long, then they left it for 3 months, and now they've ended the first season and instead of timing it to coincide with the new patch and all that jazz they're ending the season roughly a week (Patch probably won't be tomorrow since they're doing a "Pre-patch stream" to showcase changes on Monday) before the next season starts so everyone has to play in casual matchmaking or fuck off. It just makes no sense.
>>
>>187457787
Also while I'm in here and bitching, turns out I didn't abandon /gwt/ even after my quest to keep it alive was complete because oddly enough for being a mostly dead thread I like the regulars in here. The waifu enthusiasts somehow don't bother me at all while their counterparts in threads like /tesg/ and /fog/ repulse me, and going on silly rants about witcherbushes and shit is oddly entertaining. Plus it's still somewhat witcha related when I feel the need to bitch about Gwent. Previously the only other thread in /vg/ I actually liked enough to hang out in was pre-Stellaris /civ4xg/ but I kinda like keeping a tab up on /wtc/ and swinging by. Have a complimentary picture of some closed beta outdated shenanigans.

>>187457787
Yea i've been following Gwent here and there and I shared the optimism of others around that time. It seemed that they found their identity a little bit, dampening the complexity of individual card mechanics of CB and making golds invulnerable. Then i recently see them doubling down on the e-sports investment while also bringing back vulnerable golds, which obviously carries massive consequence. The virtues of gradual balancing seem pointless if they make massive changes like this over and over

For clarity, i definitely don't endorse their capricious massive changes. I too, think it's retarded
>>
>>187459997
>The virtues of gradual balancing seem pointless if they make massive changes like this over and over
Yeah, that's the biggest issue with it. Normally you want to do the fine tuning on cards when you're relatively happy with how things are shaking up, the huge sweeping changes to the point where you're changing actual gameplay mechanics is most often the kind of shit you get done before you even let the public start playing.

>>
>>187438441
Waifufags like her because they want to fuck their daughteru. People that read the books like her because they remember her original character. Normies like her because the game tells them they're supposed to.

>>187463954
It also got really good reviews at the time. That tends to mean something for non AAA games that aren't about some politically sensitive topic.
>>
>>187464312
That also generally holds true of the System Shocks, and Deus Ex and Troika games and shit, though. They've just inexplicably gotten a bit more positive word of mouth now probably from the same people who claim to read books when they obviously don't, because then modern games that are extremely loyal and similar to those get shit on like Prey.

>>187478320
Yes. It's still not quite as good as it was but it's quite playable and still looks gorgeous on medium.
>>
>>187478171
The strength of TW2 plot lies in the motivations of the characters imo. Every faction and every individual has a realistic motivation that drives them. That all leads to a story that is bigger than Geralt. He is not a centerpiece of the story, he is merely one of the cogs in the larger story. You feel like the things play out naturally and he is merely caught in it all.

And yeah, Flotsam was very comfy. I really got the feeling of comradery with Triss, Dandy, Zoltan, Roche...I can't explain it but I never really felt like Geralt is traveling with his companions like that in TW3, it reminded me of the Hansa times from the books.

>hat all leads to a story that is bigger than Geralt. He is not a centerpiece of the story, he is merely one of the cogs in the larger story. You feel like the things play out naturally and he is merely caught in it all.
Well said. TW3 should have had an even bigger scope but they blew it and made Geralt's relationship crap by accident. It worked in the books because of all the huge shit going on around them to contrast it. But none of that matters in TW3 because Geralt is the center of the universe.

>And yeah, Flotsam was very comfy. I really got the feeling of comradery with Triss, Dandy, Zoltan, Roche...I can't explain it but I never really felt like Geralt is traveling with his companions like that in TW3,
Fucking this. I thought at the end of TW2 initially that you'd start off with Geralt and Iorveth/Roche/Triss maybe even Siegfried looking for Yennefer. Then when the trailers came out I assumed it would be Vesemir. Then when more data leaked i assumed Yennefer would accompany you for most of the way.

Nope.

>>187478726
Gog version gave me like 20 extra FPS on the same settings for reasons I can't understand. Steam overlay oddly made no apparent difference.
>>
>>187478932
Weird. No idea what's freaking out on Witcher 2 on Win10 for some machines but glad you've got it rolling at least.
>>
>>187478932
It's way harder achieving that companion feel in an open world game. TW2 was more linear and the story moved from different smaller, limited areas which I think worked very well. I think TW3's story would benefit from a more linear gameplay design.

Unrelated but I really like Loredo. He's a very nicely done character and a perfect representation of a piece of shit local despot.

Hey /wtc/ friends,
`
I'm very much a newfag. Read the books until and including Blood of Elves, was impatient so played through the bigger part of TW3 afterwards. My question is: once I muster up the motivation to finish Blood and Wine, shall I continue with TW2 which I'm arguably more hyped about, or start over from TW1?
>>
>>187488020
Start from TW1. It's a little rough around the edges but it's worth playing.
>>
>>187488020
Stop playing Blood and Wine, and do a whole trilogy playthrough. Start from the Witcher 1.
>>
>>187479418
>It's way harder achieving that companion feel in an open world game.
Open world was a mistake. Or at the very least, an open world that size. No reason it had to be bigger than Skyrim.
>>
>>187479418
>Unrelated but I really like Loredo. He's a very nicely done character and a perfect representation of a piece of shit local despot.
Also yeah, one of the great underrated performances of the series. Voice actor did a fantastic job, character design is on point with his piggy little face an slovenly dress. Script is excellent. And for a fun bit of foreshadowing, he's wearing Kaedweni colors.

>>187481383
RIP even if he was a ploughing niggard and a niggardly plougher.

TW2 handled him very well. Even knowing that he was basically an asshole, as is almost required of a monarch, and that Geralt neither liked him or wanted to be there, you had to feel bad for him. He's so happy being reunited with his family, only to lose everything right there.

>They have your eyes, sire...

>>187488251
>>187488315
Thank you, guys, well noted!
>>
>>187489901
If you're gonna do that you should probably finish the books unless you hated them or something. TW1 banks a lot on book nostalgia.
>>
>>187489842
Finished the main story of TW3 and HoS, HoS was amazing. BaW just feels meh, even if the landscape is okay to look at for the most part.
>>
>>187490059
Blood and Wine is probably the worst thing CDPR has produced and it makes me fear for the future of the company even if it would be a solid release for anyone else.
>>
>>187489901
I agree with those guys but I feel I should warn you. If you're used to TW3's voice acting, TW1's localization and voice work is going to be pretty painful at first. The translation is late 90's JRPG tier, and the voice acting is mediocre to bad. Only Geralt and Vesemir have the same VAs and they're still performing much worse because the voice direction for TW1 was nonexistent.
>>
>>187459656
Is that actually in the game? These are the little things I hate having spoiled for me, but oh well
>>
>>187490914
Yes. I mean, not like the thread doesn't desperately need new blood but if you're worried about being spoiled you probably shouldn't be in a thread dedicated to a franchise whose newest release was a year ago.

>TW2 choices
All good except sparing Sile. She was literally gloating about killing you immediately before hand. That desperate for Koviri pussy?

>Freed the tree spirit like a retard
That's actually a reasonable decision. Either one is justifiable. Personally I think freeing She Who Knows leads to the most fitting ending but they're both good.

>Supported Cerys
Game makes you a retard to do anything else. Badly made choice tbqh.

>Can't really think of any other decisions so far? I'm supporting Nilfgaard
Terrible roleplaying.

Also yeah I'm doing Nilfgaard because that's who I'd support IRL. I'm going to do another run from the very beginning and go Roche in 2, and then support Sigi or something in 3.

Out of curiosity does Roche always get supremely butthurt and get Henselt? Because I might just not do that and go Iorveth again if he does

>>187492118
>Hope, by the time I'm done with it, I've found at least one redeeming quality of this expansion. So far, I've enjoyed the random conversations with Regis, but not sure he can keep me hooked much longer.
I'm trying to think of some myself now that you've said that. I guess the palace is pretty? And the vampire fights are fairly fun. The final boss has some interesting art design. There's one end sequence that's fairly neat I won't spoil for you I guess. Oh, and the ending for dumb fuckups that choose the obviously wrong dialogue option is actually pretty cool. Otherwise, yeah, it's very mediocre. Big disappointment for me as a long term fan.

>And depending how much the combat differs from TW3,
TW1 is a RTWP RPG with a single party member pretending to be an ARPG. The combat is pretty different from everything as a result. The poor broke handful of self-trained slavs using wooden computers in the Katyn forest were stuck with the Aurora engine and it's amazing the voodoo they worked on it to turn it into what TW1 is, but it's definitely a strange game.

>setting
TW1 arguably has the best atmosphere of all of them if you're into that.
>>
>>187492541
>TW1 arguably has the best atmosphere of all of them if you're into that.
Yep, that's guaranteed to keep me entertained even if I grow to dislike the combat, thanks!
>>
>>187492491
>I'm getting more or less points for no broche memes?
More points. Roche vs Iorveth is actually a tough and well done choice but Brochefags annoy me. Not that choosing Roche your first time through makes you a Brochefag. I also forgot to mention that you lose points for only playing TW2 once instead of a minimum of twice in a row like it's intended. You play vidya wrong.

>Also yeah I'm doing Nilfgaard because that's who I'd support IRL
I take it you didn't notice they're actually pretty evil? I mean the game is subtle about it instead of in your face like they are with Redania, so if you basically started with TW3 it's not hugely surprising that a gamer wouldn't pick it up. But you played TW2 and should be well aware every single thing happening here is there fault, directly.

Though they're all shitty people tbqh. Radovid, Emhyr, Dijkstra. All shits.

>Out of curiosity does Roche always get supremely butthurt and get Henselt? Because I might just not do that and go Iorveth again if he does
You say it like he's not justified in hating Henselt. But you haven't played that part of the game so I guess you wouldn't know.
>>
>>187492772
Even if you do dislike the combat (and I really don't think it's bad like people seem to have decided the last few years, just different from what they were led to expect by TW3), TW1 is the easiest game in the series so you can breeze through it by spamming aard.
>>
>>187492802
You're pretty condescending anon and kind of a douche. Anyway, yes I get Nilfgaard isn't all sunshine and roses.
>wouldn't be surprised a gammerrrr would pick them

Come on man. I support Nilfgaard for a variety of reasons. Stop being such a douche.

Killing Henselt because he raped Ves is fucking stupid for a character like Roche but whatever.
>>
Does loot respawn? The minor stuff you find around town. I'll occasionally turn on an auto loot mod and make a quick sweep around an area to see if I've missed anything but I swear I keep getting the same common loot(hides, consumables, etc) in the same spots every so often.
>>
>>187489624
If you're gonna do open world you might as well go all out. However, I think TW3 would have worked better if the game was more linear and consisted of several smaller hubs, kind of like TW2. I think that would allow for a more concise and interesting main story.

>>187489760
All the kings in tW2 were well done, but it would be nice if Foltest lived a bit longer.

>>187493148
>If you're gonna do open world you might as well go all out.
Why? There's clever ways to make a small world seem much bigger than it really is and not have to spend tons of man hours fleshing out empty wilderness to the detriment of the main plot. Morrowind for example feels bigger to me than Oblivion ever did but it's far smaller. Hiding the view distance with mountains and fog is a cheap trick, but it's effective. Same with making it hard to get around. Incidentally, not allowing the player to teleport also makes things much easier for scenario writers, which is pretty important for a story heavy game. They have to be able to predict where the player will be and when. Hard to write spontaneous events happening that actually have stakes if five seconds separate the character from Skellige and Touissant.

>>187493076

I think he was there just enough. Wish Radovid was in it more myself though.

I think the random crates and barrels and crap do periodically, yeah.

Ahh, okay. Guess there's no point in being so OCD about making sure every single container is looted then.

>>187493458
No they don't.

>>187494197
Oh. Guess I must have been thinking of TW1, where they respawn between chapters. Although that only really matters for 2 and 3.
>>
>>187493268
>Why?
The difficulties of telling a story in an open world have nothing to do with its size, but more so with player's ability to go wherever, whenever, diluting the story and making it lose the sense of importance as well as the sense of time passing and the feel of progression. I'm struggling to find the words to describe exactly what I mean. Maybe I'll try it better a bit later. My brain isn't working now.
>>
>>187493350
Radovid was mysterious, menacing and gave out the sense of someone well informed, intelligent and powerful in the first two games. I had big expectations from him in TW3, not just being a mad king.

>The difficulties of telling a story in an open world have nothing to do with its size, but more so with player's ability to go wherever, whenever, diluting the story and making it lose the sense of importance as well as the sense of time passing and the feel of progression.
Open world is fine but they really should be a timer of some kind. Unfortunately no developer does this because it has been proven time and time again that most people hate feeling rushed in games.

If I knew I only had three in-game days to progress to the next part of the story I'd be sure to spend that time as wisely as possible and each playthrough would be much different.

That's true but development is to some extent zero sum, so the man hours going to populating a massive world with side quests necessarily detract from spending said resources on main quest progression and scenarios.

>>187494494
I wasn't surprised he went nuts but I still expected more from him. Madmen can still have depth and even be the kind of geniuses born once a generation. Pic related.

We're told this about Radvoid but since the camera never leaves Geralt and both the main plot and the political sideplot from TW2 are underdeveloped, we never actually get to see it. The resolution of Radovid and Philippa's shared arc was very half assed and unsatisfying.
>>
>>187494554
>Open world is fine but they really should be a timer of some kind. Unfortunately no developer does this because it has been proven time and time again that most people hate feeling rushed in games.
In the very earliest interviews Marcin gave the impression that the war would go on in the background independent of your actions and might change the course of quests depending on when you did things, not just what you did. But they backtracked on this in later interviews.

>because it has been proven time and time again that most people hate feeling rushed in games.
Most people don't even play the games they buy and have no idea what they really want. Fuck them.

>If I knew I only had three in-game days to progress to the next part of the story I'd be sure to spend that time as wisely as possible and each playthrough would be much different.
I fucking love this shit. Pathologic does it and it's great.
>>
>>187494554
I'm not sure that would work that well and I'm not a fan of timed anything in the games in general. It's just that moving from an event to an event or from a location to a location feels less natural in an open world game when the whole world is at your disposal.

>>187494627
>man hours going to populating a massive world with side quests necessarily detract from spending said resources on main quest progression and scenarios.
Yeah, I'd trade a bunch of random side quests of little meaning for a better fleshed out third act of the main story anytime.

> Madmen can still have depth and even be the kind of geniuses born once a generation.
I have no problem with him being mad, I jsut wished the game gave him more exposure. Show a bit of his tactical genius at work, show his cunning, shed more light on his relationship with Phil and his hatred for the mages, show a human side to him, something other that "lub dub burn the witch"
>>
>>187495353
>Yeah, I'd trade a bunch of random side quests of little meaning for a better fleshed out third act of the main story anytime.
Replaying TW2 is making me long for the days when half the content or more is main quest stuff, and the side quests are just for a little breather. The other way is so much lazier.
>>
>>187495353
>Show a bit of his tactical genius at work, show his cunning,
How does he win the war, anyway? All I can gather is that big push up in Kaedwen ran into some kind of ruse. Supposedly Ard Carraigh was garrisoned almost entirely by mercenaries. You run into Morvran suggesting to Emhyr they should just bribe them and bypass it. I guess they weren't actually just mercs? But then, how did that lead to the second Nilfgaardian army being completely shattered. Radovid wasn't even there.
>>
>>187495462
To be fair, TW2 is a much smaller game but I generally agree, the less distractions lead to a better main story immersion. One of the reasons I feel the main story of TW3 suffer is due to the sense of importance it's trying to impose. Finding Ciri is presented as something that needs to be done as soon as possible and there always seems to be the rush with time, but when you have a thousand little unrelated distractions along the way(play Gwent, help a guy get his goat back, collect armor and whatnot) it hurt that very core of the story by robbing it of one of its main driving forces.
>>
>>187495885
>To be fair, TW2 is a much smaller game
Still feels like it has a comparable amount of main quest to me. Maybe that's because a ton of TW3's main quest is basically a chain of side quests given as an excuse to force the player to explore the world.
>>
>>187495532
It's never explained or shown, we're just told he won thanks to his tactical genius and that's the problem.
>>
>>187495885

Incidentally I think this is part of why players respond so poorly to Yennefer. She's the only one that actually treats it like it's a hurry and it makes her seem bitchy, especially given Geralt has already spent months playing Triple Triad and breeding chocobos.

>>187495981
And we KNOW these writers can actually write that kind of shit. Because they wrote TW2. How frustrating.
>>
>>187496043
Yennefer is generally unapologetic about everything she does and takes the initiative away from the player. That is bound to irk some people either way.

>we KNOW
I think the dumbing down of politics was done on purpose as the story switched to a more personal one. I don't like it, but I don't think it's the writers fault necesserally as maybe someone form the upper management decided what the main story focus should be and where the resources should be spend.
>>
>>187495353
>I'm not a fan of timed anything in the games in general.
You and almost everyone else which is exactly why it'll never happen. If there are six side-objectives and the game is designed in a way that it's expected you'd be able to complete two of them before you run out of time most people are going to be upset because that's how our brains work. We spend more time thinking about what we're going to miss out on rather than the experiences we can have. It's the same reason why negative things stand out to us far more than positive things.

>It's just that moving from an event to an event or from a location to a location feels less natural in an open world game when the whole world is at your disposal.
I don't see why. When you're told to meet someone at midnight why is it unnatural to go exploring until then? There's work to be done, artifacts to be found, skills to hone... it seems more unnatural to just sit around for the better part of a day doing what amounts to nothing. The most important thing is to keep the story going at a nice flow and a handful of distractions wont hurt that. What will is allowing you to run around for as long as you please.
>>
>>187496717
>Yennefer is generally unapologetic about everything she does and takes the initiative away from the player.
Weird how that didn't bother people with Roche in TW2 though. Maybe if Roche wanted to fuck Geralt it would have been different? I'm not even sure I'm memeing, I think that might be it.
>>
>>187496717
>I think the dumbing down of politics was done on purpose as the story switched to a more personal one
Even if we assume that was necessary it doesn't explain them dumbing down the personal relationship stuff too.

> I don't like it, but I don't think it's the writers fault necesserally
There's indications of a couple phases of massive rewrites too aren't there? The open world may be to blame for this. Rewrites are really expensive in a video game because of having to actually program different scenarios, and I know they talked in interviews about a panic phase when they realized the world they made was mostly empty and they needed to fill it out ASAP.

>>187496967
>We spend more time thinking about what we're going to miss out on rather than the experiences we can have.
I was going toa rgue this contradicts the whole open world thing because almost no one sees most content in a game like Skyrim, but then I guess the option is always there? But then, why not just replay the game? TW2 had tons of mutually exclusive content and did very well. I the very concept of a timer just changes everything.

>I don't see why.
Because you can teleport anywhere. How many times in The Witcher 3 is distance or time used as a major plot complication? It's just a hard sell when the player is used to fast travel. In theory they could take it away at critical moments, but players hate things being taken from them and it will certainly feel arbitrary. Then there's this:

>not allowing the player to teleport also makes things much easier for scenario writers, which is pretty important for a story heavy game. They have to be able to predict where the player will be and when.

How for example would you use an ambush as a plot hook in a game where every signpost is connected to every other signpost and the player can go from anywhere to anywhere?
>>
>>187496967
>What will is allowing you to run around for as long as you please.
But that is exactly what happens. For example, the Pellar and Geralt agree to perform the ritual at midnight, but you can return months later and the game will treat it like no time has passed. The sense of urgency is lost.

>>187497773
There is a distinctive difference. Roche is a man. Other than that he is not the most imposing figure even if he tries, and Yen is far more snappy and intelligent than he is, making her more threatening.

>>187498189
>it doesn't explain them dumbing down the personal relationship stuff too.
I don't think they did that. Ciri and Geralt's interactions are nicely done imo and that was the main focus. To make the player care for Ciri.

>There's indications of a couple phases of massive rewrites too aren't there?
Yeah, there's a bunch of cut content info you can find as evidence of that.

So they turned Ciri into a totally different character and dropped most of their backstory. And sidelined any other relationships so as not to complicate things. I call that dumbing down.

Hey we've talked a lot about what's wrong with TW3. Assuming you had CDPRs time, budget, and talent pool, how would you actually make it better instead of just bitching about it?

The idea has already been put forward to reduce or remove the open world in favor of a more linear story. Anything else? I do think another suggestion hit on of Geralt actually having some companions for part of the quest would be good. I didn't feel like TW3 was trying to enforce a big feeling of isolation by any means, and TW2 managed to feel gloomy and desperate when it needed to despite Geralt always being around allies. So why not start with someone by your side besides Vesemir?

I say have Vesemir stick around longer (He'd surely want to find Ciri too, after all). And maybe also depending on your TW2 choices have other people as well. Triss already has her b-plot/redemption arc so I guess she's out. But if Roche is an exile then he could come. Iorveth may feel like repaying favors. Or maybe play the long con with Siegfried, where if he's neither dead nor Grandmaster he's along for the ride?

You could also have Yennefer of course after they meet, but it's kind of hard to put Geralt in situations where it wouldn't make sense to just have the sorceress step in and fix everything. So that's an issue. Even in TW2 they got rid of Triss as soon as possible and Yennefer is stronger than her. Of course, they also introduced Keira in Velen. So I dunno. Maybe it's not something worth worrying about.
>>
>>187507557
Have segments that didn't follow Geralt as the main character, besides just the Ciri flashbacks. They don't have to be very long to be hugely effective in increasing the scope of the world and therefore the stakes, while imparting vital information to the character. TW2's story worked in part because you have short segments where you see through the eyes of Triss, Roche/Iorveth, and Henselt/Stennis. Do the same in TW3 with Radovid, Avallac'h, Yennefer, Morvran, what have you.

Come to think of it, even though it might be kind of weird to play the "bad guy", maybe you should have playable segments of both sides of Ciri's story. Sometimes you play Ciri, others you play Caranthir hunting her. Would let the Wild Hunt actually get some screentime. Plus you could reuse some of the mechanics since Caranthir can do the same *teleports behind u* bullshit Ciri does.

I don't have a problem with her interactions with Geralt, they're pretty great, but it's true that Ciri was robbed of all her flaws.

Here's one unfiltered.

>>187507710
I loved those a lot. Even though they were short, it felt refreshing seeing things from a different perspective.

>>187507557
I would focus more on the third act. Expand the Wild Hunt story, show the Lodge's fate, make an alternative ending to Reasons of State and expand the political part of the story. I would also like more nods for TW2 choices at least if not full fledged consequences.
>>
>>187509254
>I don't have a problem with her interactions with Geralt, they're pretty great, but it's true that Ciri was robbed of all her flaws.
Part of what colored their relationship in the book was Geralt's fears regarding what she'd been through and later what she would become. Besides one throw away line from the crones this is never touched on in the game.

For the main focus it's barely in the game at all. They don't even speak until the last 1/8th of the game.

You aren't doing this right.

Thicc ginger has great appeal to a specific subset of customers but less appeal to the average customer.

Same with the quarter elf slut but she also attracts fetishists so her costs actually go up instead of down.

The white haired one is batshit despite appealing to several kinds of fetishist at once. She's the cheapest of them all due to liability issues. Better to sell her as a broodmare than use her in the brothel.
>>
>>187518525
They all have areas of expertise.

Quarter elf slut specializes in domination, cbt, femdom.

Thicc ginger specializes in submission and butt sex.

The white haired one is a virgin. She costs extra.

Yen is an exhibitionist that likes pain, both giving and receiving.

We know almost nothing about Triss's sexual preferences

>Ciri a virgin
wew lad
>>
>>187519391
>We know almost nothing about Triss's sexual preferences
We know she was slutty in her youth and that she had relationships with women. She is more on the submissive side personality wise so we can imagine things.
>>
>>187518907
>They all have areas of expertise.

Yen: Rape
Triss: Scat
Ciri: Bestiality
>>
>>187519553
>We know she was slutty in her youth
She's a sorceress what did you expect?

>and that she had relationships with women.
This is also apparently something they all get around to trying at one point.

>She is more on the submissive side personality wise
This really doesn't indicate anything about a person's sexual preferences even though you'd think it would.

We really do know nothing about Triss that we don't know about any sorceress's sex life.
>>
>>187519576
If I had to choose I'd go with rape Triss, scat Ciri, bestiality Yen.
>>
>>187519690
We know she got disappointed by her past relationships and that she had long periods of solitude where she pleasured herself instead of seeking out someone to fuck her.
>>
>>187519769
But those are not their normal areas of expertise. They might perform poorly outside their comfort zone.

>>
>>187520172
I can respect that.
>>
>>187520132
Rape is actual sex, so I choose Triss for that and I like me some Triss in peril. Yen would find it very humiliating to have sex with an animal so she gets that and that leaves Ciri to shit on me.

What was the episode when Ciri and Geralt set to climb the mountain to fight Imlerith and the lady who dispenses authorization to pass asks Ciri if she's a virgin and then interrupts saying she got her answer about?
Did she mean that she's accustomed to asking the question everytime and that she was told Geralt was with Ciri? Or did she have supernatural powers and got her answer through other means?

In fact come to think of it we used to have people coming to the threads to complain that TW2 was consolized trash and a huge step back from TW1 in every way. But I guess that's how /v/ feels about every sequel.

>>187532328
Probably part of Iorveth's commando from earlier versions of the game. I think one might have briefly been in a trailer. Iorveth's cut was pretty late compared to some of the other changes.

I will never, ever forgive them. ;_;
>>
>>187532825
Yeah, the one on the left was in some early gameplay footage and I agree, Iorveth deserved better. That plague plot sounded interesting, shame it got cut.
>>
>>187533175
>That plague plot sounded interesting, shame it got cut.
That Witch Hunter in the Bloody baron plot still has a horrible hacking cough and everything. Plus apparently Gaunter was supposed to be involved too.
>>

And Keira and Margarita. Sounds pretty cool to me. There's also Devil's Pit, recently some guy made a mod allowing you to access it and you can find a bunch of burned dead bodies and shit from that storyline.
>>
>>187533696
Also there's that guy you meet on the road getting attacked by ghouls, carrying plague victims on his cart. I saw a dev confirm that was leftover too.

You're being too harsh. Cuts happen. It's a shame but I'm sure they had reasons. There's also that Lodge stuff you can activate using console commands. Yen even has recorded dialogue for it. Also that Geralt and Yen scene where he feeds her is there.

>>
>>187527461
>>187527581
Contrarians and nostalgia guys, you know how ti is. More people in Witcher threads seemed to like TW1 post-TW2 than they did pre-TW2.
>>
>>187534942
If you'll notice there's a pattern to many cuts for TW3. They almost all pertain to references to the previous games, books, involve very tough choices, or are political in nature. Basically they were consciously dumbing the game down.

The Witcher 3? Best place to start the series!
>>
>>187535696
So before TW2's release Witcher threads were mostly people shitting on the first game? I'm skeptical given how hyped everyone was for TW2 during the great DA2 meme war.
>>
>>187535889
No they were just rare and 4chan in general was much smaller. And the threads that did happen had lots of people shitting on the game because they couldn't get into it or they were Bioware fanboys comparing it to DA:O.

That whole meme war brought a lot of life into Witcher threads and the game looked to be great,a proper PC exclusive in the modern era and what not.

I felt it was a bit exaggerated too. I like the scene in TW3 up until that dress stuff, that crossed the line of believable drunkness for me.
>>
>>187553648
TW1's buddy drinking and bitching about relationships was the most grounded I guess. Weird in a game about a cartoon supervillain time-traveler and his super mutant army. TW3's started out pretty grounded too. Just cards and passive aggressive sniping about their buddy's girlfriend.

proportionally yes but you'll probably be surprised how much game is left. Another 10 hours or so. it's a lot worse than the rest of the game

>>187558914
Well, in his defense, while there's a decent amount of content left there's only one or two bits of any significance. There's lots of weird hasty wrap up that feels pretty empty and a couple of nice moments with Ciri. The rest is butchered beyond recognition.
>>
>>187559898

and so the battle of Kaer Morhen is basically the finale, emotionally speaking. it even feels like it the first time. it's also the last part of the plot that makes any sense at all.

Realistically, she would've been up there naked when Geralt found her.

If they were Kaedweni or Redanian that would've been a different story

A funny thing. When Triss gets decompressed she's naked, but when she decompresses those figurines in TW3, they have their normal clothes as they had when they were compressed. That can mean 2 things. Either Triss was naked in Phil's house when she got compressed or her clothes are kind of a magical illusion which would explain her wearing them in the dungeon later. And I agree about the touching, Nilfs are pros.

It used to go on longer in TW2 but they changed it. Originally for instance, Triss never told Geralt about Yennefer at all. Instead of getting a QUICK RUNDOWN on the way to Flotsam, Geralt gets a flashback to Thanedd after first talking to Sile.

>QUICK RUNDOWN
This is false. The trip takes several days and Dandelion says that Geralt spend the whole talking to Triss and that she told him stories about about Yen and Ciri long into the night. That implies a long and detailed explanation.

About the change part, are you saying that Geralt never asked Triss about his past when they boarded the ship in Flotsam before EE. It's been a while but I think he did. The only thing that was added was Dandelion's narration of the event.

I also don't remember the Thanedd part, Geralt's memories about Yen start from his death in Rivia and their time on the island and then focus on the time he was in pursuit of her. I don't remember Thanedd ever being mentioned.

It changed in development, before release. He originally didn't confront Triss there for whatever reason. Didn't trust her or something? In her defense no one else mentioned Geralt or Ciri either because lol TW1. But that's the plot thread they decided not to retcon cause drama.

Than where did she get her old clothes back? She should be naked in the dungeon then or wearing some rags.

I don't do memes. I assumed you were talking TW2 pre EE, not prerelease. Whatever the case may be, prerelease stuff isn't that important. I mean, in TW1, Geralt wasn't even supposed to be the main character.

The only person Geralt asks about his past directly is Dandelion in TW1 and his response is well...tragic. I don't see people blaming him for it though. I had it somewhere but I can't seem to find it now. Fuck it when I have dozens of folders about TW.

>>187645003
She should have been naked or in some prison clothes. Fuck morals, I want realism and naked Triss. I mean, they didn't find it distasteful to have her decompress naked and moaning.

Probably because Dandelion's a retard, didn't deliberately give false impressions, and the next game's plot doesn't factor his behavior in, unlike Triss's.

i think they asked him is it ok to bring him back from the dead and he was like "whatever, I don't give a fuck". He probably though the game will fail anyway.

On the first part I can agree on the second though, not really. He not only failed to mention Yen and Ciri to a direct question but he lied about who was there for no apparent reason.

I mean, they had Baroness LaVallete tied in a same position as Triss with her tits showing and a guy preparing to burn them with a hot poker. They had Philippa whipping Cynthia's ass. Triss was flaunting her hairy pussy on at least 3 occasions.

>>187647453
>i think they asked him is it ok to bring him back from the dead and he was like "whatever, I don't give a fuck". He probably though the game will fail anyway.
IIRC they showed him stuff from the game with a generic witcher at Kaer Morhen and he asked " Why don't you just use Geralt?" but it's been a long time since I read the interview. Presumably he didn't give a shit about bringing him back from the dead because it's just a game, he never thought there'd be any success, and he never considered it more than an homage anyway.

>He not only failed to mention Yen and Ciri to a direct question but he lied about who was there for no apparent reason.
You mean him mentioning Milva and Regis? I think that wasn't meant to be pat of the same idea as Geralt's death scene, the script is just bad there.

One of the writers is a Triss waifufag. Not even joking. Maybe he snuck in a note to a scenario designer and they were so rushed by Act 3 that they just didn't care that Triss wasn't nude.

Between this and the side quest in Act 3 where the lady is turned into a vampire I think one of the writers in TW1 was one of the five people in Poland that never even read the first book.

But it's part of that conversation. Clearly their intention was to erase Yen and Ciri, but why put such a dumb line there still puzzles me. I can't imagine the scrutiny Triss would get is she was the one who told him that instead of Dandelion.

>>187648113
>One of the writers is a Triss waifufag. Not even joking.
Why would I find that hard to believe? Someone at CDPR clearly loves Triss. They elevated her role significantly in the games, they put her in Playboy and shit, I'm not surprised there's people in CDPR who like her. I remeber watching some stream with a girl who used to work at CDPR and 2 devs. They were talking about random shit an that girl mentioned how she remembers some people crying from joy when they first showed them Triss' lighthouse scene.

>>187648465
I do get the rape implication would be controversial, but still, I like controversy and sexual abuse of a hot sorceress enemy is a realistic scenario.

>>187648290
I don't know about that, we can only guess but I assume CDPR would require that the writers read the books.
>>
>>187648968
>But it's part of that conversation.
Yeah but I thought it was just a really clumsily handled "you died just like they did" thing. I mean why would they put someone in charge of writing that dialogue who hadn't even read the scene in question.

>that girl mentioned how she remembers some people crying from joy when they first showed them Triss' lighthouse scene.
Although on the other hand maybe they would do exactly that.

They don't. That scenario writer that used to post on SA hadn't read them when he started working. Granted he was never assigned to write stuff that pertained directly to the books. He did some cut stuff with Iorveth and Ves in TW3 and the Order of the Flaming Rose stuff in Hearts of Stone IIRC.

I thought it was cute. And I assume when you make and work on a character for 10 or so years, you might get attached. Look at me, I've only played the games and I'm obsessed with Triss. They also have Triss lewd pics in their office. For inspiration, I assume...

Yeah, I also remember when they release modkit, some modders complained that line descriptions were missing(I'm not sure about the details) and one of the guys form CDPR said they deleted them because they contained in house teasing and bickering over Triss and Yen.

And to be honest, that turned out to be the most controversial choice among the fanbase, no other one was even remotely discussed at that volume. And I want that Team Triss shirt.

Philippa gets captured by Rad's soldiers and has her eyes gouged out.

Yennefer is captured by Nilfgaardians and ends up in Emhyr's dungeon.

Fringilla is btfo'd by Emhyr's men and put into custody.

Margaritta gets captured by witch hunters.

Sile gets captured by witch hunters and tortured to death.

Keira gets captured and impaled when she tries talking to Rad. She can also be easily killed by Geralt.

Felicia Cori gets burned alive.

Cynthia and her friend mage can get easily killed by Geralt.

And not to mention the low tier retards Triss is rescuing in Novigrad.

Not the same as having them travel with you and react to shit like Dandelion/Zoltan/Roche/Iorveth/Triss in TW2. Vesemir's death is shit in TW3 not just because it's predictable but because you barely spend any time with him. A good death scene hurts even when you know it's coming.

Fringilla was totally wasted in the games. Her role in the main game is negligible and could have been played by Sile or Keira. But due to it, Fringilla was hard to fit in Toussaint, where she should have been a side romance instead of Syanna. She has a history with the place, Anna, Geralt...she'd be an excellent addition to BaW. I kind of hoped she'd be there, but nope.

The letter on Yennefer's desk in Vizima seemed like she'd be there but Blood and Wine's B-team went full retard.
