Romances? In My Witcher?! : x

If they add in gay sex we can start calling it switcher: wild cunt. I'm very excited about this.

 

[Haba]

Look at that pretty dev girl!

I'd hit that!

 

[MapMan]

I was like: Hey, a female developer... no wait, its a... man long with hair... and boobs... a tranny... what...

 

[Commissar Draco]

Sounds interesting, but unlike most of the 'dexers I prefer judge games before they are released. DA2.

Nope. I enjoyed any The Witcher more than any Dragon Age and overall I have much better opinion of The Witchers than Dragon Ages.

There's still hope for you Konyead.

I am a little afraid of this open world idea; though there is a possibility that they will develop a nice mechanics which avoids sins of oblivion or skyrim -but I have no idea what it would look like :D
Any ideas?

ah yes... i forgot most common response here: "blah blah shit shit, potato, shit shit, blah blah, potato shit"

 

[Commissar Draco]

Despite alarming things like Biowerian romances in place of visiting brothels with Dandelion and QTEs TWitcher 3 is hyped in direction I like. Skyrim with better writing, quests and proper C&C will be epic... IF the Potato bros from RED will deliver, We'll see if God Wills.

As always, they will not deliver but abort.

an open world with a toolset? SOLD.

Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3...

PE killer right there.
No, wait, IE is PE's killer.

Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3...

My guess is that the vast majority of codexers have already bought all three of those games, so it would only be a continuation of a codex tradition

 

[misha]

Well didn't bothered oblibion with mods due to the fact I couldn't stand even 1/3 of the game, but F3 was pretty decent post-war-world simulator with some mods. And then F:NV with some fan addons was a game worth to turn back.

As for romances... well. I know that some people want an emotional engagement with a group of polygons, and it is their immersion element. But if so, I wanna option of betraying, triangles, desertion, breaking heart.

- Moving more toward romance and away from shallow sexual encounters

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Fuck you guys, I am going home.

 

[Harold]

Eagerly looking foward to the VD/VoD review that will cause more butthurt on Codex than last time.

MCA's successor has been found.

Dragon age 3:The Witchering.

Jesus, I don't want romance or casual sexual encounters in a game. The developer's need to get laid and leave their fantasies out.

But it was obvious that romances are in as they were in both TW1 and TW2. First one had Triss/Shani light romance in addition to lightweight fucking with bitches. TW2 has Triss and "moral drama" aka "to fuck or not to fuck coz Yenefer is out there and needs HALP". And the whole story about Geralt regaining memories is pointing towards meeting Yennefer (and potentially Ciri) in the third installment. Which equals to more romances and dramas.

If you knew story, you would know it was coming for you in TW3... I would still welcome some light-themed fucking and porn-cards in the style of TW1 though. Dunno why people hated those. Much subtle than watching animated pixels fucking. Funny, but it was something that was not present in TW1 at all. Instead you had some old fashioned blackening of the screen or camera sliding to the roof, lots of irony and humor, etc.
Yet majority of people thought such representation of sex is more immature than the one in TW2. I guess that tells you a LOT about the majority of people playing story-driven computer games (read teenagers or emotionally retarded basement-dwellers)

 

[GarfunkeL]

Uh, it's not exactly their fantasies. It's both part of the world/character and a stock-trope of sword & sorcery. You think Conan and Elric never got laid?

Beating Bethesda is quite possible, since they are obviously retarded when it comes to game design and always go the path of least resistance. However, it's not like the potatoes have never over-hyped their shit either, so we'll see. In any case, Triss is back or at least I guess the hooded, long-haired rider next to Geralt on that one screenshot is her - plus they are already motion-recording her animations. So DEEP and MEANINFUL Triss romance, vol 3?

Stopped by the official Witcher forums to see how things are going, and it seems they're getting an influx of new users with interesting suggestions on what features to include in TW3. A snippet:

Spoiler

5. Ability to plant and grow crops for food and raise live stock for food.
6. More movement animations dodge, roll, lean and lean against walls, and vault over low obstacles.
7. Ability to add modifications to weapons such as ability to wrap leather strips on the handle of the axes, daggers, swords, etc.
8. Add and keep companions, dogs, humans, and all kinds of other animals, creatures, monsters, etc.
9. Do jobs for people.
10. Let us continue past the main game.
11. Do explain how agriculture, production, industry and trade works so that the world is coherent.
12. Focus on quantity of companions and focus on quality.
13. Focus on dungeons.
14. Keep sprint
15. Keep duel wielding
16. Add spears
17. Keep throwing knives, throwing daggers, and throwing stars
18. Add maces that have the ball tied to a chain and swings with physics I think the maces that have chains and swings with the ball are called flails.
19. Add the ability for the PC player to play musical instruments banjo, drum, flute, guitar, etc and animations so you can see your self playing them in 1st person view and 3rd person view.
20. Add the ability to see yourself in 1st person when looking down chest, torso, and legs and see animations for my legs when I am jogging, running, sprinting, and walking.
21 Add dynamic foot pathing so that when I walk on the ground my feet actually touch the ground, floor, terrain and not go through and clip through the ground, bushes, plants, trees, foliage of any type, dead NPC's, animals, creatures, monsters, or anything in the The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt world I don't like when I see my characters feet go through dead bodies in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings. Improve the physics engine and collision boxes.
22. Add dyes so we can color our armor, clothing, and weapons whatever color we want on them and color whatever designs we want on them.

...The Elder Scrolls VI: Nilfgaard!

I'm pretty sure that those who want most of those features are a minor but vocal group (not unlike the codex). Casual gamers doesn't give a fuck about keeping dog/animal/monster companions or doing gardening and building house while playing. Casual gamers game to have an escape from real life, not to live while they live.
