The Witcher 3 GOTY Edition

[Tancred]

Did people actually like Ciri as a character or do they just want more material for their technically-its-not-incest stepdaughter fantasies?

Pipedream: I would rather see a prequel with an interesting structure, say Geralt, Eskel, Lambert and Vesemir sitting round a fire one winter in Kaer Morhen getting drunk and recounting their adventures which you can play like an independent module, each one set in a map roughly the size of White Orchard. Use the writers who did Hearts of Stone/Baron. Outsource combat to Deck13 (The Surge devs) with different weapons/abilities for each witcher since CDPR is apparently incapable of creating quality combat, bring back dice poker and add some new waifus. I'd buy that.

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Marcin Przybyłowicz, the Music Director, invited his musician friends to recreate the main theme from the game!

Thank you for bringing back these fond memories!

Looks like asian girl completed the record-with-vibrator-on challenge along with it.

I like Ciri but there should be no romantic feelings between Geralt and Ciri, that would be retarded.

I want to see another Witcher game but I think Blood & Wine gave Geralt a perfect send off. I'd like to play as another witcher, and Ciri makes the most sense to be that person (another dude would just be compared to Geralt).

I'm playing this for the first time, got 49 hours under my belt, and just finished a few quests in Skellige. Unfortunately the exploration system in the game is weak so now I'm just focusing on the main quest so I can finish the story. I don't recall the first two games being this way but then again I played TW1 around 12 years ago so my memory is hazy.

Did anyone else feel the Ciri parts where you play as her were out of place? Those segments could have been played out automatically through cutscenes.

Exploration is better in blood and wine because the map size is much smaller.
Witcher 1 had smaller chapter locked maps that had unique staff to look out for. even in the dreaded swamps.

 

[Zarniwoop]

HOLY SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT.

This is 5 years old today?




What have I done with my life?

 

[Zeriel]

And there hasn't been a single AAA game worth playing since. Really puts the state of the industry into perspective.

Star Citizen will release any day now.

Right after DRUMPF goes down for Russian hacking.

Hmm, that sounds familiar...

I only have the base game, but I had a look on steam and the reviews are "overwhelmingly positive" so perhaps I'll keep an eye on the expansion.

Re. TW1, you're right the game was split into chapters with smaller maps which I think worked out better for this type of game. Vizima was a really interesting place to explore.

YES!

Spoiler

 

[JDR13]

I'd rather they just make a canon decision and roll with it like New Vegas did, but I know I'm in the minority.

Though they'd probably choose retiring with Yen which would break my heart as Trish is my redheaded waifu.

New Vegas has a cannon ending?

Yep.
The tunnelers come and fuck everyone up because nobody did anything about them.
...You do remember Ulysses warning that they were on their way to destroy the mojave, right?

I meant it picked cannon decisions for Fallout 2, like a theoretical Witcher 4 should for 3, IMO.

 

[DalekFlay]

Fuck you JDR13 for making me doubt my instincts and using the wrong canon.

 

[AW8]

You just keep goofing, Dally boy.

Trish is my redheaded waifu.

Her name isn't Patricia. Triss is the short form of the traditional Polish name Mątriskowalzwoźnyczynski.

 

[Atlantico]

You're like a wind-up toy that just doesn't shut the fuck up. If anyone want fucking fanfiction, they're not going to ask the amertard - that the American retard, i.e. you sunshine.

There's no fucking canon ending in FONV, you shit for brains.

 

[DalekFlay]

Trish was a typo or brain fart, cannon was a betrayal by someone I trusted.

 

[JDR13]

I thought you had discovered a secret ending where you could decide to blow up Vegas with cannons. Talk about false advertising...

Jailbait-Ciri was uncanny valley

I thought Ciri wasn't a proper witcher due to not going through Trial of the Grasses? That means no enhanced reflexes, can't consume potions or see in the dark etc. She'd be a pretty gimped witcher even with her bullshit powers that W3 gave her.

Also it's supposed to be a recurring theme that the time of the witchers is coming to an end, the truly dangerous monsters have nearly all been killed off and society is becoming industrialised and organised enough to not need wandering witchers to defend them. Admittedly that's more of a book theme and W3 in particular has ancient legendary trash monsters all over the place so eh...

At the end of the day if they want to do a Ciri game they will and that stuff will be handwaved away. I'd still rather see a prequel, to see what it's like being a more normal witcher instead of the White Wolf. Eskel would be a good choice.

Pretty much. She'd probably die of poison or some sickness or infected wound pretty quickly, and even if she didn't, she'd have to look for new career opportunities relatively quickly due to aging like a normal human being. Being a witcher is not like your average soldier or sellsword job that you could probably keep on doing for decades.

More importantly, almost every character in the books or the games would make for a more interesting protagonist than Ciri.
