I won the tourney because I finally figured out you can go slow motion on horseback when you hold X down. I thought hitting anybody on horseback was fucking impossible until that point.
I got 500. Maybe it's because I told that Dwarf son of a bitch he had a week to get me my money or else.
every inn keep has a card to win and buy more. make your deck strong. play tourneys. i liked being the north with the foltiest that doubled my siege. spy cards are key, with decoys to pull up your opponents spies and then replay them. normally i throw the first round using spies and decoys, and then with 14+ cards and 3+ heroes, just fucking murder the next two.
I was super drunk during the tutorial and couldn't figure it out. Just said fuck it. Too bad because it seems like something I would have liked.
Wasn't expecting the Griffin to show up. Also, just got done with the big party trying to find the singer, part of the main quest line. Did some of the events. Painted a dick with the paintballs.
The quest when you help the older woman out with the Umbra and are high on shrooms.... Spoiler Having Roach speak and just rag on Geralt the whole time was top notch comedy
fucking skellige's most wanted. so i had saved it to where i killed the werewolf but he was just howling throughout previous patches. well hes alive now, and i kill him for real, but the other monsters have been already killed (and saved and therefore gone) so yay cant ever beat that one
Finally beat the main game. Amazing. Loved it. Thought I completed all the witcher contracts but I'm not sure I activated them all. Oh well. On to the DLC now.
Won the gwent tournament. Had saved before hand in case I didn't. Wasn't too bad. Got lucky against the Niffgardian deck, he only had 2 spy cards.
go to 7:00 seriously. people wonder why grown men enjoy video games. well, when you drop 300m in development and marketing and everything from the details to the score to the subtle humor, it shows. and the players respond fucking love this game. played it probably for 4 months when it came out, 100%'d everything. reopening it makes me feel like im going back to high school or something
this thing is chalk full of fun stuff. level 43 now. the sword i got off the guy on a main quest down in the cemetery is fucking awesome. and the mutation that auto triggers a finisher move is great. the whole "my brother gave me a sword, i called needle" made me lol as i rode through town. i just :( at the notes i find on guys who are killed around monster nests when its all "yeah my wife wants me to do XYZ" or "we bout to get married and she wants this monster's scales" and the dude is dead
probably played 15-20 hours alraedy on it and have done 2 main quests, the mutations, gwent tourney, and gettin some extra gear and exploring not even halfway done with the expansion. also upped the difficulty. those hanse bases crazy
UncleItchyBalls just did the mission with regis and have a question on the vision i saw Spoiler with dettlaff being a friend with de le croix, one of the visions at the bar showed them drinking and then someone slipping a note to him... geralt never told regis what the note said, wtf? 1. is this later reveled or 2. did i miss something? 7:28
UncleItchyBalls what is the "hourglass" icon near geralt's healthbar. does that mean one of the new mutations is active? i think it does, i only see it in combat
Witcher Trilogy on sale on Steam for like $26 until the first I think. Warning the first game is weird as fuck but still pretty good.
i really want to play this but i also really want to watch LPs for the first two before i do that. decisions
You don't need to watch much. Witcher 3 was my first Witcher game. You can just watch a few videos that summarize the first 2 games and that should be fine.
Finished Blood and Wine the other day; just amazing. I was dicking around for a while just because I didn't want the story to end. I doubt a game will come along any time soon that will grab me as much as this one did, I'm sad it's over.
I started The Witcher Enhanced Edition last night. the controls are horrendous but I want to give it a fair shot because of its praise and because I don't believe the 5 minute YouTube summaries are sufficiently covering Witcher 1 and 2.
as part of team anti-witcher i found i've been able to get into it a bit more this time around. a massive rpg like this with an actual real main character is interesting. controls still suck ass on consoles though.
I tried, but after playing 3 the old games seem so much more outdated and not nearly as good. Couldn't deal with it. Especially the first one. Man have things evolved.
