The Witcher 3

Sudden Valley

I thought all three actresses had been officially confirmed?

Frankly, I am really annoyed. I'm really into gothy-looking pale white girls and I thought this series would give me loads for my ****-bank but nooooo, they had to be all politically correct and hire a load of non-white actresses for the parts. It's very upsetting. And before people start at me, no, I'm not racist... my penis is.

I think that it doesnt help that female game characters, especially in the witcher, are designed to look like super models. See the abuse the Triss actress is getting for not looking like the game character.

Eva green would've been bloody perfect for Yen. Venomous acting attitude, tough and experienced with dark themes, fantasy and even full nudity. Could handle anything the Witcher series could throw at her.

Apex Legends was leaked on 4chan a year ago.

Channers are just ordinary nerds with ordinary jobs, after all.

There's also a religion spawned surrounding shrek :pac:

For every one truthful story, there's a hundred nonsense ones. I'd sooner trust the daily mail.

My God, it's like a real life lodge of sorceresses.

Reminds me of a bloody great line in one of the books where Phillipa says to Geralt: "You know that we aren't a pack of wolves that you can drive away with your sword." To which Geralt replied that in fact, yes he could, because they were :pac::pac::pac:

If folk online put half as much time into understanding how their entertainment mediums of choice are actually produced, they'd be far less likely to buy into ridiculous stories like the one above due to their own pre-existing biases.

The Netflix Nilfgaardian Armour looks utter shíte though.

Especially compared to the game's

Compared to a wolly jumper it'd still be 2nd best!

Oh, don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree with you on that one. The subject of my derision is both the content of and logic expressed within that tweet and the quoted post.

The casting other than Cavill is pretty atrocious but that's typical of Netflix. Won't be getting a sub from me. I've been enjoying the 1st game again.

As I have been gameless awhile and as I only played TW3 one time..... I am half tempted to start again with the first game. Not sure if this is a good or terrible decision though.

Problem is with me and replays, I always swear I am going to make different choices to see a different side of the game..... then when the choice comes I just can't do it The other choices always seem wrong to me. Ill will say "give alvin to triss this time" and then give him to Shani anyway. Or "romance triss this time" and I will stick with Yennefer.

One thing I might change though.... while I would never side against the scoia'tael and go with "the order"..... I might be able to convince myself to stay neutral. Has anyone done that? Is it worth doing or does it just mean you miss out on game content for both and get nothing instead?

Same here. It's why I don't invest in those story driven Walking Dead games, once I make the choice and experienced the game, I have no desire to choose differently on a replay.

I will replay TW3 though, but simply on a much higher difficulty. I feel that on the normal setting, a lot of the mechanics are not required (potions, food etc.)

After over a year of "I should probably focus more on college and the rest of my life", I came back to Witcher, having finished my college papers and theory work today. Witcher and a pizza was my way of celebrating (I'm cool, I swear :P). Anywho, after first going off to pick a few fights with some innocent wolves who were minding their own business in order to refresh my memory, I got the main game finish. Now I feel like I should celebrate that... I guess I'll have to play the DLCs tomorrow!



Also, this is an accurate representation of being going back after so long away:

Decided to get properly stuck into Blood and Wine last week, having previously only played it for about an hour when it was released. I’d no idea what was going on. No idea of the controls. Nothing.

No wonder. It came out over three years ago. I could have sworn it was only last year. I’m still doubting it. But then again, it’s kind of symptomatic of how I’m pissing time away.

Yup, having looked back over the thread, I posted that I was nearly finished in April of last year! I'd no clue about controls for ages as well, especially the signs. I was constantly going into the settings to check what was set as what. It even took me a while to figure out why I was still hanging around Skellige...

I started playing at the start of July as it was the TrueAchievements Playlist game for the month. Took me 3 months of solid play to finish the game and all DLC. On easy mode. And I skipped playing Gwent.. 166 hours logged.

So you've only done the tutorial missions :eek:

brianregan09

To be fair I hated Gwent aswell

Zero-Cool

I didn't think much of Gwent at all until i came across a mission to win a card. Took me a few goes but getting that card ignited my love for it. Backtracked to the starting area to collect as many cards as i could. Absolutely love it and have a lovely physical deck at home as well.

Potential-Monke

Gwent wasn't for me either, just couldn't get into it. I think it may have had something to do with an absolutely stunning game to be played instead of wasting my time on a digital card game...

Penn

i ABSOLUTELY LOVED gWENT (just realised I had caps lock on at this point). Seemed stupid at first, but once you started getting into it and building up a proper deck and strategy, it really started to become something to just do between missions, or "I'll stop playing in about 10 minutes, may as well play Gwent until I finish."

But I have to admit, there was one section in the middle of the game that I became so p*ssed off with the main story missions that Gwent (and the desire to meet new characters and go to new areas solely so I could play more Gwent and get new/unique cards) was pretty much the only thing that got me through that section. I quite possibly would have just given up the game altogether at that stage if not for Gwent.

Just remember it plays perfectly as a standalone (Id say for a big percentage people who bought it it was their first Witcher and most of them will rate it as one of the best games they've ever played).

I played and loved Witcher I, II and read the books and I had no clue what was going on by the time III rolled around, you're not supposed to know who the main female protagonist is or whats happening really so just go with it, explore and enjoy. The tutorial is loooong, stick with it.

And Witcher III is one of the best games ever made but the Blood and Wine expansion is so massive and unique that its up there aswell, best DLC ever, its Witcher IV

nozzferrahhtoo

Well I just started playing it again too so this thread revived in a timely fashion. I powered through a 100% completist run of I and II in about 4 evenings each. It was insane, but I got everything done in both games entirely.

Just started III on Friday evening and already the color of the world is seeping into my dreams with that off goldish sunshine hue that the Sun casts over the witcher world. And already I have hit content I did not somehow get the first time around. Small side missions and events around the map. I have decided this time not to do any fast travel you see

Not much of a gamer usually time wise, only a few hours a week, so this is going to take an age to complete. Hopefully I will finish it before Cyberpunk comes out.

Hello, I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to ask this question but I'm new to Boards.

I'm want to pre-order the digital version of The Witcher 3 for Nintendo Switch so I can pre-load ahead of time. However, the game is not appearing anywhere for me in the eShop? Is anyone else having this issue? I'd rather not have to buy the physical card tomorrow when it releases.

Thanks in advance!

Id defo go for the physical copy of this tbh, a digital copy will be massive, which is usually a bad thing for the switch. Unless you're swimming in SD cards..

It's due for release tomorrow October 15
