I like all the quests that involve cat school witchers, Follow the Thread, Where Cat and Wolf Play, Mad Faylen.
If you rush off to collect your reward instead of escorting the girl, she will die. And you can run into her again if you gave money to the aunt.

Where the Cat and the Wolf Play is bugged (at least for me).

if you try and fight him he just stands there and can't die. Similarly if you let him live and then visit his stash the bandits there will also just stand there and can't be killed

Hoo that is good. I went to her first because it would be fucked up to trek for some loot and leave kid alone.

Awesome that CDPR dudes thought of that. It is kind of roleplaying people don't expect but are perfectly logical.

This game sounds so stupid.. and why does it take Bioware 4 years to develop 1/5 the content that CD Projekt can in 3?

Lets not go blowin the Pollacks too hard now. Basically the entire mechanics of the Witcher games are shit at best, the writing being puerile shit despite the legion of faggot fans squealing otherwise, with the only redeeming quality of the games being tech based in nature.

oh nevermind, you're just a raging sperg. I bet you can't see a black person in a bioware game without shitting your pants in rage.

Why do you say raging sperg when you're the unemployed morbidly obese fat guy who got mocked after posting youtube videos, and here you are gettin pumped over Eurofag girl power?

Another example of subjectively good writing in Witcher 3:

Gay liberal vampire who doesnt drink blood, betrays his race and then stabs his homeboy in the back. No wonder why you identify so hard with this cuck franchise.

Gotta say, CDPR is doing something right if their writing is pissing off everybody. One side hates the sympathetic, good-hearted wife-beater, the other hates the liberal vampire and the lesbian.

I like your posts for the most time Eddy, but you are so wrong here. Just because The Witcher 3 has some strange characters and story parts doesn't mean it is written badly. TW3 has good writing, and the mechanics are at least decent.

It's not strange, it's calculated trash writing marketed to illicit very specific responses from the scumsucking millennial audience ie 4th wall breaking, over ironic, self important non-comedy faggotry like this






If you're gonna say Witcher has good writing, at least quantify what the fuck you're talking about. You like the Bloody Baron questline? Hey great, too bad the other 50 hours of loot grinding involves dealing with goofy shit like a Norse Succession event where the sister openly mocks her brothers and calls them fags and challenges Geralt to a run off, while "shield maidens" guard her with 2 handed swords, all the while this is presented as normal lol.

Ciri "dated" both men and women in the books, which makes her a bi, though it was weird and kinda forced on her, thus it was unclear which she preferred.
Anyway, it obviously wasn't invented by CDPR, and the books were written 2+ decades before sexual deviations became edgy.

Lesbian girls were hot long before they became politically correct .

I love grimdark stuff, but for Witcher in particular, I'm a little disgruntled after the Codex pumped this game up so hard, and then I played the game solely off of Codex recommendation and realized the actual reality of the game was comically different. I was told 10/10 bad ass low fantasy adventure story, the reality is genderswapping girl power grass adventure.

A take on sexuality in Witcher books imply things that would make SJWs head explode.
Like being gay comes out of boredom or trauma/rape.
The fact that they didn't pitchforked it by now only indicates that their reading stops at comic books.

It lets you kill annoying children though.. Does Mass Effect let you kill children?

Especially a certain pretentious blue space child thing?

Are you sure that isn't you? lol

im glad this writing makes you feel something at all, so basically, the writing is good because you feel the need to get so damn offended over it. thats a sign of good writing.

No, I'm not sure stupid, maybe you can ask me again in 10 minutes.

Let me key you in on something, when you want to be the whacky jokester tonight, you might not want to be the hysterical I BET YOU HATE BLACKS guy the day before. You look like you're just playing stupid characters because you have no personality of your own faggot.

Btw, have some more "good writing", free of charge:

Well Im just saying, your examples of "bad writing" are literally just cherrypicked examples that dont speak to the whole. You have a serious and troubling issue with portrayals of people that are not 'normal' to you. Im just some kind of freak, I guess, I can talk to an openly gay person in a videogame and not get immediately upset and write the entire series off as poorly written because I dont get triggered by gays or whatever. The witcher is pretty balanced politically and most of the source material is written extrenely sarcastically, that is in fact, at least in Poland, the main appeal of the character. But you know, keep literally shitting your pants over minir parts of a massive game....:edgy:

It's not cherry picking when I can open up any part of the game and point to an example of fag/hipster pandering. But if you're some shitlib nerd who likes that stuff whatever, How about the fact you can master all dialogue checks before you even hit level 1 in the first 5 minutes by hitting up 3 power stones, or the fact that the combat is no longer skill based but loot based, so if your numbers arent high enough you just break your weapons on the enemy even if you can dodge and punish every attack thereby penalizing the skillful player, having to grind for every little thing, I mean it's just mechanically shit. How about leveling being incredibly slow in a point grind game?

we were talking about the writing, not the mechanics. And have you heard of confirmation bias? You open the game up and look for "fag pandering" wherever you go, youre gonna find it.

But you really lost the argument by changing the subject to whining about the mechanics. I know youre incapable of recognizing such, so Im just gonna drop the discussion.

Youve got some way to go, and I wish you luck. :love:

For a games anal ist you sure are an unthinking, uncritical, publisher worshipping passive aggressive fuckhead. Heres to hoping you die alone, and unwanted, as you are now.





Heres some more fag shit that only exists because i'm looking for it, fresh out of Schrodingers Box, delivered to you by Quantum Eddy.
