But why doesn’t he simply use silver sword to kill both human and monster?

Silver one is easier to dull. Other sword is stronger and sharper. Silver is just used on monsters because of how the silver itself hurts them. Could simply be a silver club and have the same damage

Both the swords are for monsters, user.

Silver is soft and using it on *anything* will wear the blade out. Since human foes are unfortunately common and silver is expensive, keeping a sturdy steel blade on you at all times is wise *and* frugal.

>would not want to use a silver sword*

How does he draw the longsword over his shoulder?

The dimension shit

What dimension shit?

he reaches behind his back and pulls

silver bullets for monsters
normal bullets for people and animals
the cycle never ends

Honestly I don't understand why he doesn't have a club to bonk humans and Monsters alike

>wanting your sword broken in half by a solid steel sword

There are slits on the top sides of the scabbards

Conjunction of Spheres

Nigga, pay attention.

The entire backstory of the franchise. Monsters are from another dimension

Probably because it's way less effective against humans.
It still does damage but it's like bringing a flintlock against someone with a AK.

Sounds like a bullshit explanation to me from a writer's perspective.

>The real question is what makes all monsters weak to silver?
but they're not all weak to silver, only the majority

Actually, everyone but dwarves and gnomes are from another dimension.

Why did the crossbow do 5 damage to monsters, why were there only 5 spells, all of them boring as fuck, why does a hunter run up to a creature with a sword like a retard, why is the witcher 3 not a role playing game

I know, but I was dumbing it down to answer the question

Can't believe the Witcher series was actually just isekaishit

Silver would bend/break easily fighting another human with a sword, shield and armor.

>everyone but dwarves
we don't know that, they could have gotten there from another dimension too but the memory is lost to time

elves are pre-conjunction and the only record of humans being from another dimension is from elven sources

wtf now i wanna play the Bitcher?!

I can't wait for the next witcher game, I like Geralt, but I just need more of the world and lore. I don't need to always be him.

Immunity. Years of eating with silverware has led to them not being weak to it anymore.

>special longbows to kill monsters
arrows are extremely ineffective against monsters since they are either very fast, resilient, or huge
plus they couldn't make use of their witcher signs or speed

I've never tried so hard to like a series and just not be able to. I played all 3 games when they where new and while they got better, the combat just never felt good to me. Am I wrong? Do I need to give it another chance?

what mods bro

because they are from Post Apocalypse Earth.

the monsters are from other places, in which Silver is strong against them simply because it is.

Fuck I have dragon's gogma on my PC, but haven't touched it yet. IS it worth playing? You CAN kill humans with Silver dumbfuck, it's just better to avoid if possible since why fuck up your sword when you can use another one and not save the silver one for when you need it?
IS Dragon's Dogma worth playing? Right now I'm one an "Uncharted" kick and going to go and buy the 3 games I don't have yet (which are only $10 each) since everything on Steam seems to blow bloated corpses right now...

They did that on the middle ages

You didn't pay attention dude. Several times they mention that Cere is the last of the Witchers brought up in that way, and that she's unique since she has the skills of a Witcher without having undergone the mutation..

It's a shitty hack and slash with good production values, there are overhauls on the nexus that will actually turn it into a role playing game but I couldn't be fucked

Witchers don't fucking hunt Dragon's unless they are absolute retards.

90% of witchers are magical vermin exterminators, nothing more.

because the swords break, so you're essentially wasting lots of money using silver to kill something you can kill with a cheaper sword.

Bow would pierce vital organs and kill it

With a bow you literally just aim for the organs with no bone covering them and you get a kill

your theorycrafting doesn't hold up to actual history.

the Bow has existed since the dawn of time, the Spear has many strengths the Bow does not have.

without the Spear the 300 Spartans couldn't have pulled off their feat, the Bow is a poor defensive weapon.

Not as good as the bow for hunting, you could always test your theory

Please go hunt a boar , or bear with a spear, post pictures from your hospital bed with mangled disfigured limbs, or your family could post a picture of your casket, that would be sick

it regenerates, good luck without using silver or magic.

The bow is superior for hunting wild animals, your dumbass failed to grasp the point I was making

Purity. Same reason vampires and werewolves are weak to it according to real life legends and myth. Silver bullets, stakes, arrows, swords, etc. Also the reason a vampire doesn't have a reflection in a mirror since traditionally those were polished silver.

Maybe a fucking deer but good luck hunting anything half the size of a bear

Witchers are actually trained to use bows. But when they have to fight a monster that has extreme agility and perception a bow is almost useless because they would simple dodge the arrow.

Humans are immune to silver you fucking retard

I'm sure a stick of metal hitting you would still do some damage if you swing hard enough

They would dodge a sword swung by a human a lot easier, because it's slower and can be seen and predicted

Because the swords are silver COATED, and using them against armor or weapons will rapidly chip away the silver layer. Even against monsters the silver gets easily damaged, so it needs constant maintenance which is one of the reasons witchers are always fucking broke, that shit ain't cheap.

every once in a while this post catches me off guard and cracks me up

A bow is superior for hunting every wild animal, period

What if witchers are able to swing swords faster than arrows travel

why don't they just upgrade to gold swords?

>Please go hunt a boar with a spear
You dumbass, people hunt boar with knifes too.

Witchers are insanely fast outside of gameplay restrictions. IIRC in Witcher 2, a soldier remarks how Geralt swung the sword so quickly he couldn't even see his hands or the blade, only a blur as he cut down several soldiers in a blink.

I thought both of his swords are for monsters

Swords are swung in arcs and therefore can potentially have less space to dodge compared to an arrow.

I don't think he means literally.

Then they would have to somehow conceal themselves in order to get close enough to swing, but if these creatures have this supernatural perception and agility it would never happen, can the witcher move faster than an arrow, no

Geralt literally deflects arrows with his sword. Think about that one ability where you hold down attack and he spins forever. Speed that up by two and that's every Witcher in a fight.

No it's literal. Post-conjunction monsters are basically immune to silver's effects so you gotta use steel/iron on them.

Oligodynamic effect

Please go do it, tell me how it works out

An arrow is a knife shot from a distance with no danger to the user

Do you fucking understand that you stupid piece of shit

Something I learned recently is that medievial hunters shot their game at close range because at a long range they might miss or the animal might react to the sound and dodge the shot. If your fighting a monster with heightened reflexes and agility they would dodge the arrow if you are too far, and if you were too close they would just rush you. Bows are probably the best option for shit like drowners but a really fast vampire would fuck over a bow witcher.

Witchers use swords for the same reason jedis use sabers in SW

An unaware target has a far greater chance of being hit than an aware one

Bows have such range that even if your target tries to evade it would be almost impossible without knowing exactly when the arrow is fired, speed kills and an arrow is faster than a sword swing, a sword swing can also be deflected far easier and dodged far easier due to its shorter range and speed

is there mod to randomize encounters yet?

Crossbow from close range is probably best, but that's assuming you're even stealthy enough to get there

Having to hit a being with supernatural strength and speed with a sword sounds far more difficult than hitting them with a ranged weapon that fires at a substantial speed

>Do you fucking understand that you stupid piece of shit
I understand you are dunce who doesn't realize how much fucking damage you can do with a spear.

Yeah there's a mod called "World difficulty" which changes it, don't think it randomises it though. Last I heard it was buggy but that was back when /ddg/ was still alive so a long time ago.

Since they have super strength, they can quickly reload the crossbow by hand

You can do more with a bow, with less risk

You know how hard it is to sneak up to a deer in the woods? Imagine doing that but the deer can hear, smell, and see a lot better. Can't really sneak up on it unless you wait for an ambush. And once you've fired your crossbow what then? Are you just going to wait for the monster to bleed out and die or are do you think it's going to try and attack you? Anyway you look at it you're not going to get a way purely by using a bow or crossbow.

Medievial crossbows could have a draw weight of over 1000 pounds. Even the lighter ones would be unfeasible to load by hand even by witcher standards. Unless you somehow got a modern crossbow you're not going to quickly reload it by hand.

Your chances of killing something else than a rabbit with just one arrow are vert very low
A spear stuck inside the animal breaking its bones and crippling more more as it tries to escape is much more efficient.

Because silver is weak as fuck and won't cut through leather armour let alone break through actual metal armour

Does anyone have the Mod where you ca have threesomes with Yenna nd Triss and anally deflower Ciri and so-on. A german dude had them a while back and offered them to me but I thought Ciri was too much of a Waifu to see her get ass-fucked by Geralt...now that a year or so has passed, I want to see it...

>Also the reason a vampire doesn't have a reflection in a mirror since traditionally those were polished silver.

I thought it's because they don't have souls and in mythology, people used to think mirrors are a reflection of your soul or "other self" or whatever.

He's a retard user, just ignore him.

>Even the lighter ones would be unfeasible to load by hand even by witcher standards.
Really? Is it possible to load them by foot but not a super strong hand?

>swords in Witcher 3
>lasting a reasonable amount of time

I suggest you do some research on what people are able to kill with bows before we continue this lovely chat

We're talking about medievial crossbows here. I think they range from 700-1200 pounds but I'm not entirely sure on that. The point is they're really heavy. Unless you're a strongman you're not going to reload that without a windlass. Now this is completely different with modern crossbows.

Are you thinking about Javelins? like how the hell are coming to the conclusion that a wrought iron arrow head will be better than a Pike?

I suggest you do the same but without compound bows , knowing the longbow was unknown to almost everyone but the brits for a large portion of the middle age.
Or you could post a source to back up your claims if you are so educated on the matter

Well, I saw people reloading some of the lighter ones by stepping on the crossbow and doing something, perhaps a witcher could do it with his hand. Do all crossbows require a windlass? I was thinking about the ones don't need it

>I think they range from 700-1200 pounds
have you got crossbows and ballistae mixed up?

Hopefully you hit it in a vital area to kill it, and are loading the next shot immediately

If you aren't using a crossbow, with a long load time, just keep firing arrows

The prospect of fighting a supernatural being with a sword seems far more daunting than killing it from a safe distance, if you can't hit it with an arrow what makes you think you'll hit it with a sword, when it sees you and knows exactly where you're attacking

If the witcher has super speed like the flash sure

But if these creatures can be hit and killed by slow swinging swords why not just eliminate the risk of wrestling with something with supernatural abilities and kill it from a distance with something more likely to work

Longer range less chance of being killed by the thing you're hunting

And those probably were not medievial crossbows. Even if you could reload it without any tools, it would be too weak to realistically use because of how inefficient they were in terms transferring energy to the bolt.

draw weight retard

Crossbows like pic related weren't a thing?

Attached: crossbow-belt-hook.jpg (270x517, 51K)

first of all
>reddit spacing
Second of all what makes you think hitting an insanely fast creature with a bow is easy? If it knows you're there then you're fucked with hitting it in the first place, it would just run around trying to be hard to hit, especially if it is an intelligent monster which often times they are. And if you miss the vital area or the monster itself then you're fucked unless you know how to use a sword witcher style.

You are over estimating the range of the arrow. A javelin will give you range, do more damage, limits mobility of the thing it is stuck in and can also be used in close quarters. If you just want to pelt shit from far away you might as well use a goddamn sling.

That guy is using a tool to reload it.

The thing on his belt?

Yeah. It appears you put the hook on the string then push down with your leg and pull up with your back.

youtu.be/vqjLSp-sIq4 entire sword made by silver is basically useless

so he doesn't have to sharpen it as much

it's easier to hit things with bows than it is with a sword, swords have limited range and you have to physically swing it, which is slower than releasing an arrow

an arrow moves faster than you can swing a sword

you have to physically throw a javelin which takes substantially more time and skill

shooting arrows is faster and has more range

An arrow moves faster but you also have to be far away in order to be save from the monster. If you're too close it could easily rush you, if you're too far you won't hit it. And if you miss a shot while it's close you just died. And to be quite clear we're talking about extremely fast monsters.
youtube.com/watch?v=WBnOcR6L95Y
Do you think you could hit that with a bow? Be honest.

If you have 10 people firing arrows yeah. Not by yourself though.

do you think you could hit it with a sword, it could just get behind you

an arrow would be your best option, not only would you get tired constantly missing, you leave yourself open to attacks

>you have to physically throw a javelin which takes substantially more time and skill
Shooting an arrow takes a lot physical strength and even more skill to be accurate.

If you miss your first shot you're dead. No time to reload? At least with a sword you can parry and still use it.

>really enjoyed most of the TW3
>remember the stupid repair system.

did that ever get fixed? fucking weapons break after almost every fucking battle

a well place arrow can kill an animal in one shot

the risks are minimal, compare that to hunting a moose with a spear, you better have a damn good throwing arm and not miss, bows allow you greater range with the same kill potential

try taking down an elephant with a bow

wrong, everyone can shoot an arrow more accurately than they can throw something, granted you need to throw it with perfect form in order to get a kill, and have the required strength, bows are far easier as the weapon itself does the work for you

bows allow you greater range with the same kill potential
Depends on how big your prey is retard. God you're so fucking stupid, go back to fucking reddit.

It takes more strength to pull back a hunting bow than it does to throw a spear.

>bows allow you greater range with the same kill potential
Maybe if it's a roman scorpion for a moose. An arrow is just going to piss it off.
>everyone can shoot an arrow more accurately than they can throw something
>he's never used an atlatl

if you can't hit it with a bow what makes you think you'll be fast enough to parry it

a bow is simply your best option when faced with something stronger and faster than you, swinging a sword is slower than an arrow fired from a bow

easier than a spear, you have the advantage of range, where the elephant can't hit you

we still use spears, a bayonet on a rifle is basically a spear

nope. shits so wrong. There is reason Spears were the preferred weapon for killing things until Gunpowder for a reason. You can train people to use a spear in days as opposed the years of training it takes to use a bow.

it takes more strength to throw a spear to substantially damage an animal than it takes to fire a bow

not to mention the skill involved, it's far easier to draw a bow than to throw a spear accurately for a killing blow

The real questions; why dosen't he use his head ?

You are wrong. Boar and bear hunting was done with spears well into modernity, even with the advent of guns, because all ranged weapons would do is make them mad.

how are you going to kill prey that's stronger than you in close quarters without being killed by this creature that's stronger and faster than you

you aren't, that's why you need something with range

not for hunting, unless for entertainment, there are far better options, unless you want to be maimed by wild animals

Many creatures from the witcher series can easily dodge arrows. Even geralt can parry arrows, what makes you think a creature stronger and faster than him can't do the same? You're fucking retarded. At this point you're just baiting for replies

>you aren't, that's why you need something with range
You know what as range? A Fucking spear.

>cuts off my head
>well at least i dont have a fever anymore.

lol the spears weren't the preferred weapon until gunpowder for hunting animals

wrong, bows are better deal with it

bows can kill animals from greater range while requiring less skill from the user

What about using his fuckig magic instead of the two fucking sword then heinh, what about it ?

witchers actually do use magic in conjunction with their swords, didn't know you never actually played any witcher game or seen any gameplay.

I have yet to see this evidence, but if in this weebshit universe of the witcher arrows are somehow slower than sword swings, that explains most of the retardation in this thread

Wrong you can't use a bow ia a forest

he does do that, silly

you know what's easier to use and has longer range than a spear, a bow

Just use magic only then ! Burn everything !

no u

Silver swords are not actually entirely made of silver. Silver is expensive and sucks to be used as an actual sword, but monsters are burned and afflicted by its touch. So the blade has a silver coating. Also they're witcher-trade tools, very specialized, so that makes them even more expensive and crafty.

If Geralt was to defend himself from some mooks you wouldn't use the expensive one on them.

evidence of what? And we've been over this, you're not going to hit something half as fast as a bruxae with a bow. Seriously you're fucking retarded and baiting at this point

>The real question is what makes all monsters weak to silver?

Silver is traditionally associated with purification and protection against poisons or evil, and not without reason: it has a natural anti-microbial property, which is one of many reasons why silver spoons were so popular through out the ages.
It also reacts to arsenic, making it a useful tool to detect poisoning attempts.

Geralt is very much a unique case among Witchers though, at least in the books. It's heavily hinted that he was more resisting to the effects of the Mutagen's because he already was mutated, due to being a son of a sorceress.

I do agree that he is not a particularly great character though, as he was originally concieved to for a series of short edgy folklore spoofs, not for long, over-arching stories. He always was the second weakest character in the books.
Writing the pentalogy was already massively stretching both the character and the settings to begin with. Everyone knows it, Sapkowski was more aware of it than anyone else, that is why he eventually grew to despise his own work with a passion.

God that cinematic still blows my mind. It's amazing just how much character they can build in few seconds of screen time and literally no words.

for hunting animals efficiently, which is what this entire thread is about, the witcher, hunting, creatures

Ÿou do realize that vast majority of the creatures Witcher's hunt aren't animals, right?

bows are better for hunting animals

do they die when hit in vital organs or when they sustain enough damage?

then a bow can kill them

what's more efficient to kill a moose, a bow, or your bare hands, which one has more range, which one are you likely to suffer injury from using, which one takes more skill to use, which one has a higher chance of succeeding

you thrust with a spear, you monkey. You'd know this shit if your country ever invented anything more complexity than a fucking twig.

Javelins were still used quite a lot for hunting, even in medieval times but in the form of "War Darts": youtu.be/cJotBsrqbwI

bows and stealth should have been prominent in the witcher, you're a fucking hunter, I still mad

because parrying destroys silver. In witcher 1 it said the monster fighting styles don't inclue parrying.

Reminder that the silver sword is only for some, usually magical, monsters in the books
Reminder that Geralt only ever had one of his swords on his person at a time and left the other on his horse
Reminder that he draws his sword by throwing it out of the scabbard and then catching it in the air and that he can do this because of his mutations

is this the superior nippon steel of hunting

BECAUSE COLLOIDAL SILVER BRO, it actually heals peoples toe fungus.

Too think that game launched without it.

I understand some of those words

Basically big girl bully little girl

It just straight up wasn't done by the time PC version was ready for release. They said it took three years to make it, and they had to rework it entirely about half-way through the process, which delayed it massively.
Still, TW2 had some pretty good release trailers. Fear and Disdain still plays in my mind today. And The World trailer was pretty fucking cool too.

>geralt draws and sheathes his sword like Trunks from DBZ

which is more likely to succeed against a supernatural being with super strength and speed, a human being using a spear to walk up to it and attempt to stab it with a stick, or shooting a stick at high velocity into it

what's more likely to hit a moving target, a stick you have to physically swing, or a stick you can shoot at 50mph from any range

your friend is the first baseman on your local little league team, you could a. shoot a baseball out of a cannon at him from 40 feet away, or b.walk over to him and hand him the baseball

which one is faster

Are you legitimately autistic?

you aren't as smart as me, deal with it

Good because the video proves that you can't kill or even hit those monsters with a bow.

They do not origin from the Witcher world and that trait carries over generations. In any other world (like Cyberpunk) Ciri would be weak to silver. That's why the evil elves are weak to silver as well.

user, you can't be this fucking stupid, neither in terms of warfare nor hunting did we stop using the spear. Everything changed when pike and shot became just...shot.

in reality you could, but maybe in the weeb shit universe of the witcher you cant

this is the 9th time you've moved that goal post.
Dude is full blown bowlcut here. This all started with him saying bows are better at killing boars than a spear, the thing you hunt boars with.

here's a 4th century mosaic of a dude hunting a boar with a spear

whoops, enjoy

wow 4th century, was he too dumb to make a bow

Is there any way to get the first witcher to work on modern machines? Keeps crashing for me.

bows are more efficient for hunting than spears, this is a fact

and here's a depiction from the fucking 1800s of a bear being hunted with spears

Certain game. You wouldn't hunt fowl with a spear. But you as shit would use a spear on a boar.

was he too dumb to use the more efficient bow

Samefag

that seems like a really bad idea and I'm sure they were mauled

but hey you've got a cave painting, good job

and here's a spearhead from the 1400s specifically for hunting boars

feel free to start posting evidence of people using bows to hunt bears or boars any time now

Bought this game, one of my swords broke and I couldnt figure out how to fix it, never played it again. Waste of $60

Yeah a monster that can basically teleport short distances is safe and easy to shoot with a bow.

but if given the choice you would choose a bow , because it's less work with the same reward

bows literally don't work on boars and bears

shit, guns barely work on them

it's common knowledge that bows are used to hunt game

just because idiots chose a less efficient method to kill game, and drew a cave painting doesn't mean shit

bows are a more effective tool for hunting game

Doesn't steel work just as well on most monsters? I remember it being more like
>steel deals 100% damage to most monsters
>silver deals more to some
Then again it's obviously done for gameplay purposes so that you'd have to equally maintain both of your swords.

In books its stated that some monsters are actually weak to iron, not silver. I think that was even a thing in first game. W2 started generic silver against monsters, steel against humans.

>drew a cave painting
>in the 1800s
when do you think people stopped living in caves, user

trying to hit it with a sword that moves slower than an arrow is a great idea, maybe you should fistfight it

that was a joke you retard

some hastily scribbled drawing by a retard who got mauled by a bear doesn't mean shit

it doesn't move slower if you're a Witcher with super speed

Silver is naturally antimicrobial but it sure as fuck isn't going to be magically healing wounds if you are stabbed with it. Also it can be mildly toxic to humans. Look up colloidal silver poisoning, it can turn your skin blue over time

how fast does the witcher move exactly

Based peanus weanus poster

An user has posted that he can basically deflect arrows like a jedi

You know all that shit about how elves really fucking fast. Witchers move faster than them.

Bad analogy. Flintlocks are black powder. Since velocity can only get so high, they made boolit massive. A single shot from each, a flintlock is likely to be worse

>for hunting animals efficiently
Hunting spears were still in use in the modern period after guns were invented, especially for large animals like boars. You don't know what you are talking about.

>A single shot from each, a flintlock is likely to be worse
And way more likely to miss, noguns.

>did that ever get fixed?
What the fuck, you only had to repair once every couple of hours and if that annoyed you, just carry some kits.

No fucking shit you retard, Geralt just uses that and his whole witcher codex thing as an excuse whenever it fits him.

>The real question is what makes all monsters weak to silver?

A lot of old folk lore from eastern European regions held silver in a very high regard as a metal that embodies purity, due to it's anti-microbial nature.
As a result, it was believed that Silver could combat all the percieved monsters surrounding their primitive towns and villages, as monsters are impure. So embedding something pure into them would cause them incredibly pain.

Geralt just uses a dwarven steel sword for the most part during the books, I don't even think he has proper access to one most of the time since he's always traveling.

I literally thought of this when I was a child, it's not fair

Because CDPR are hacks, they evil man they eat poo poo, they drink pee pee, they rub their cocks on splintered wood, they do all the things I don't like and do the opposite of things I do like. I'm saying this as a fan not a contrary I swear!

On the good side, most people will ignore him, because those jaborinis are literal whos

This has to be bait

Me too, I had a plastic sword and scabbard, I just cut it one of its sides with a knife so I could draw it from the back like Zero from MMX

In the witcher 2 you can actually kill monsters with steel swords, and you're almost forced in the beginning. In the witcher 3 your steel sword does horse shit damage against monsters

1070 Ti can handle 4k60 to a degree, W3 should be fine if you don't crank up all the graphics settings

also hope was kino as fuck

there is mod that randomizes enemy sizes so small ogres giant ones etc

Blow it out of your ass
