The Witcher 3 GOTY Edition

[LanciaArdita]

That's accurate to the source material where every single man that's not in Geralt's crew is stupid or evil and women are always much more capable at every single thing.

Wonder if that's the case all the way from it's conception or is it a more conscious decision made once the author realized he would achieve mainstream success among Western audiences?

Were the Last Wish and Sword of Destiny also analogous to a pamphlet written by feminist witchcraft practitioners?

I don't know much about him but alot of the fanbase seems to think he's a serious feminist. He started writing the books before wokeness became the big moneymaker but then again feminism sold big even back then.

Plenty of examples that contradict this. Sigismund Dijkstra. Esterad Thyssen. Dorregaray and some other sorcerers. Foltest and some of his courtiers. Vysogota of Corvo. Esterkhasy of Fano. Hell, even Emhyr, in his own way.

The author has completed all the books well before he realized he would achieve mainstream success among Western audiences. His works were only ever fully translated to English after the success of the first Witcher game.

Menno Coehoorn. Crach an Craite. Jarre of Ellander (in his later years). Borch Three Jackdawes (although he can be considered a member of Geralt's crew in one short story).

The same author whose self-insert fucks all the hot bitches who use magical de-aging balms to look ever youthful? Muh big femynysm.

Well, you could argue that the latter three are part of the extended witcher crew. Good catch on Marshall Coehoorn tho.

Crach met Geralt once I think? At the Calanthe's party in Cintra, when Duny came for Pavetta. And Jarre interacted a lot with Ciri, but I don't remember his single conversation with Geralt.

Bonhart was the kindest and most moral person in these books

Rivalled only by the angel among men, Vilgefortz of Roggeveen.

Started playing this again after 5 years Next gen version is nice as I dont have to install the graphic mods they included also removing the retarted hp bloat skull enemies had is nice just beat lvl 23 leshen while being lvl 7.

You can probably go straight to skellige after doing white orchard and be all right Im gonna try doing Hearts of Stone dlc while doing Novigrad storyline at about lvl 15 will see how it goes.

For whatever reason the Next-Gen DX11 version ran worse for me than 1.31 modded (forget DX12 and RT, maybe some day) with most of the mods CDPR themselves ncorporated, so I went with that the last playthrough. Close enough, still nice to look at.

Don't forget to complete the 200 question marks in the map, adventurer!

That's why I said "extended". Crach is supporting Yennefer's attempts and finding Ciri, and Jarre is Ciri's friend.

It looks as much thrilling as a season of TV-reality.

Yeah but a prequel was released in 2013, a good 5-6 years after the Hachette publications.

I would not be surprised if, by pure coincidence of course, some politically progressive retcon magic occured there.

I did not like btw how they handled the church of the holy fire questline in the third game, also even if you did side with Radovid and the witch hunters, by the end it would have left a very bitter taste in your mouth and after remunerating you Radovid would basically tell you "fuck off you weevil arsed freak".

I assume the books have the exact same stance on denouncing Rhabdophobia, basically. With Rhabdophobia being a potential metaphor for...

Sir, this is a video game discussion thread.

I, for one, can confirm that in Witcher 2 & 3 the overwhelming majority of male characters are some combination of hideous, old, moronic, or malevolent. Almost all female characters look like beauty queens with giant boobs and are usually right about everything.

Ciri herself is a raging Mary Sue, Yennefer Lopez is a dominatrix, and Triss has horrible voice acting.

Here's a quote from Twitcher man himself.

I believe that the feminine elements dominates in nature. Women are generally stronger than men. All power of this world should be in the hands of women. Life, the world are too serious to leave it in our hands.

Talked about the games too. I mentioned how I didn't like the way they presented the Novigradian Church of the Holy Fire as some regressive impotent baboons that always get one upped by the Witches.

It's a very tiresome trope.

Lip-service. His deeds belay his words. Now, I am not going to suggest that he's some uber-based chad. But his self-insert fucks all the hot bitches who use magical de-aging balms to look ever youthful. Whatever he says, whatever he believes now, the novels weren't Peak Femynysm.

Their entire portrayal of the Eternal Fire in TW3 is a travesty, compared to the novels.

Since many male feminists simp for sex Geralt being his babe banging self insert doesn't mean it's not also a politically feminist pandering story.

Geralt's also an actual cuck and gets cucked multiple times by multiple women in both the books and games.

Maybe.

But that is a trope that has been overdone a hundred thousand of times too many, with little thematic variation.

Every pozzed jester and their mother had a go at it, thinking it is some form of novel high-brow satire.

Then the novels of the Polish mustache man might warrant serious attention.

I'm actually one of the few people that watched the 2001 show and somewhat enjoyed it. Sure the narration was disjointed as hell, it was technically unimpressive and Kendo practicing Witches were a joke, but I feel like it encapsuled the setting of eastern lore a hundred times better than the netflix stuff did (which obv. I didn't watch)
