one example of a npc that appears over and over is the same model for the son of fisherman who helped the barons wife and the kid of the blacksmith in the village of the werewolf lovers, same exact model for the kid

so?

>no actual argument
Great insight

Witcher has you use various spells oils and items to effectively fight monsters and humans.
Skyrim has you stealth archer and press Left click until something is dead.

>same 3 voice actors used for every unimportant
>sidequests are the same in every town/board, just with added voice acting
Are you mentally ill? What game were you playing? I’ll give you that some faces are reused on occasion but Witcher 3 is literally known for having high quality unique side quests. And 3 VAs is an exaggeration, I’d say more like around 15-20 for unimportant NPCs.

the points are true you dumb fuck

Their marketing it is pretty good. Almost on par with Rockstar's

Its shitty we discussed this

Most sidequests go: meet town leader, scout, kill/bargain. The most memorable sidequest in all of the hours I've played is the one you meet the Cat School Witcher cunt.

Stealth archer thief is the only thing I want and Witcher can't satisfy my needs

It's the bare minimum the genre should be aspiring tot. ARPG wasn't quite a genre until this game came out, too shitty to be even considered one. This game is shit no doubt about it, it's just slightly less shitty than the hundreds of games before it ( barely playable).

Loved the Witcher 2. Is this really that bad?

No. People hating because of thier current hatred towards Cyberpunk.

It's less focused, they cram Gwent a lot down your throat.

this is is surprisingly accurate.
i still love the game though

I started playing this game last week, so far I love it. Always thought the elder scrolls and fallout were shit

Just rush through the main quests so you can do the ladies of the woods/bloody baron and the heart of stone DLC. The only downside to this is that the rest of the game is a massive slog. The Witcher and The Witcher 2 were much better games.

Hearts of Stone puts everything else in the game to shame

>missing out on Charles Dance
>missing out Duchass accent
No way.

Even Skyrim doesnt suffer as bad as W3. The fascinating part people forget is that every npc in Skyrim has more information and ways to affect it than an entire city of NPCs in games like W3 or GTA5. But people want BIG cities that FEEL like cities regardless of content, quality, or context. They're just as bad as graphicsfags and then bitch the industry is focusing on the wrong thing.

>same npc used for multiple characters
LMAO just like TW 1 and 2
Yea Forums really does overrate CDPR even Bethesda has different NPCs

You haven't played the other two, don't lie.

The PS4 had no games and Sony shills were desperate to hype up ANYTHING that was coming for their platform.

Expect the hype to die down considerably once the Switch version releases.

I love W3 but his point about similar NPCs is true. This game does re-use facial models WAY too much and it kind of breaks immersion a bit.

I mean, you're clearly retarded so should you even be allowed to voice your opinions? a bullet to your head would be a kindness.

No, it's trannies that hate it because theres no only white people in the Witcher 3 and you can romance attractive women. It's everything the far-left and body dimorphic freaks hate.

Considering that everyone are losing their minds over a generic cowboy simulator I don't think it's strange at all. If it's cinematic casuals thinks it's good, that's all they care about

lmao 2 is easily the best one. One of the most disappoint things about Witcher 3 was how "epic" the ending tried to be, wehreas in the first two games the lesson sent at the end was a rather mature one and especially in 2 deliberately anti-climatic whereas in 3 they just wanted to please the LotR crowd. Also it was a bit bloated but probably still 2 > 3 > 1 just for fucking chapter 2 and 3 in 1

This is totally inaccurate. The horse always takes the wrong turn or stops following the path at every sharp turn

I chose Yen and everyone in the game just laughs at me and is basically calling me a whipped cuck. I thought she was the "true" romance?

Because the bar is extremely low for triple a companies. Also, Skyrim is much better than TW3 because of the modding community

Wow your right, every game IS shit if you pick one random inconsequential detail and arbitrarily decide it's bad.

Hearts of Stone has best story.
Blood and Wine has best gameplay quests and location. Real "addon"

Witcher 3 had a way bigger dev team than Skyrim in case you didn't know

>you were to bring it, not OOgle it!

Attached: Tw3_journal_whispess.png (654x727, 462K)

Better looting, better and more interesting storylines, beautiful scenery/environment (ie. toussaint), some added combat features like extra perks and mutagens, grandmaster armor, skellige faction in gwent, more monsters to fight, different types of points of interest.

I'm about to finish B&W and although I thought the main game was great, they really polished up things in the DLC. The game is just great overall. This is how developers should treat DLC in terms of added content. Very much worth the price.

People really overplay this.
Even Witcher 2 had more than 100 people working on it.

Its current gen's Oblivion
You have onee fucking boat model through the entire game and it makes no sense

>choosing Yen
I don't understand why people do that, is she any better in the books? Because the game is making everything in its power to make me hate this bitch.
Triss is way cooler.

I made the mistake of playing KCD around the same time as I tried TW3 for the first time, and now I can't get past how unlikeable Geralt is compared to Henry
does he get more tolerable as time goes on, or does he continue to be super sickdark edgelord who's the best at everything and who is known and loved by all before the game begins?

I know that now. It's been a while since I've finished the game so I'm planning to start a new game soon. I'll choose Triss this time.

Blood and Wine was a great send off. The new area is gorgeous as fuck too, and Geralt's vineyard is top tier comfy.

Attached: a1nb7s3zdumx.png (1920x1080, 3.26M)

Is there are mod where I can only play as Ciri?

Charles Dance is Emhyr if you were referring to Geralt's VA.
But I agree I don't really like Geralt's English voice. It seems way too forced to be scruffy and just sounds unnatural.
On this topic Triss' VA annoyed me too because she has that weird type of voice where it sounds like she's going to cry mid-sentence. Makes her sound cringey when she talks about something serious.

>super sickdark edgelord
Geralt is a giant doofus and almost nobody takes him seriously.

The build doesn't matter since you can spam shield and run away after it pops until it recharges. They really dropped the ball on the gameplay and it sucks since everything else is good.

He can come off as a bit of an edgy gary stu but he was always really likeable to me, the added wit really goes a long way for me, I think the dialog is pretty well written in this game.
Though to be frank I wasn't completely sold on the character until the end of my first playthrough whith that ending in which he loses self-control and breaks down like a bitch in the crones hut. That was one of the best moments in the game for me.

Not in my headcanon, skyrimfag

Triss is basic, I got flashbacks to Jade Empire with how every other line of her's hinted at how she wanted to fuck you. It's a character you're already familiar with if you've played any Bioware RPG.
People like Yen because it feels like you need to build a mutual respect for her to warm up to you, almost like how a real person would act.

name 10 games which don't reuse npc assets and has dozens to hundreds of unique models and voice acting

you made me wanna replay it.

>look for/rescue that fucking bard for what felt like 10+ hours
>lose interest once I free him

I'm sure I'll come back sooner or later but playing the game for a short time every day made it feel like it took weeks to do it.

Actually should I wait until I finish the base game to jump in the DLCs? Friend told me to do HoS before finishing, and then the second DLC. I just bashed the mace and shield Wild Hunt faggot.

Do Heart of Stone whenever you want but do Blood & Wine after the main story ends.

>1 is the best
Patrician taste

Hearts of Stone was fucking boring.
I don't understand why this board says it's good.

I don't know how you could say HoS is boring while having nothing to say about the main story quest.

>go exploring
>every monster or sidequest is 10 levels higher then me

what am i suppose to do? I've been playing for about 20 hours and only level 5.

>why do a bunch of anonymous people have a different opinion than mine?
Your retarded post aside, most people who do like it like it because of the characters and plot are miles better than the main story of the actual game. This goes for B&W too but to a lesser extent.

People who know about the book lore tend to be more sympathetic to Yen. If you only play the games, Yen is some random sorceress who you don't even see the first 2 games then shows up and starts bitching to everyone. So in a sense I get why people don't like her.

Blame CDPR for pussying out in the very first game (where Triss was supposed to be Yen's character) but then said nah we don't know how to write her and just went with a less important side character such as Triss.

The main gripe I have is that in the books, Yennefer is basically Ciri's mother. This is a huge piece of information that relates strongly to the events that happen in Witcher 3. But the game for some reason doesn't clearly explain Yennefer and Ciri's mother-daughter relationship. Yennefer's actions are morally questionable true, but it adds context when you realize it's because she's trying to find the girl who is like a daughter to her. And apparantly the reason the game doesn't establish this fact is because the dev's said it was unfair to Triss' character. And this doesn't seem unlike them since Triss was barely in the game originally, but added her when people said they liked her more than some girl they've never heard of, naturally.

Can you at least explain why I don't do any damage at all? I will attack a level 10 enemy for like 5 minutes and there health bar wont change

You have shit taste but I respect your passion

I've read the books as well and agree. Yen + Ciri's bit towards the end of Blood of Elves where she teaches her magic was one of my favourite moments but you get nothing like that in the games. Ciri is also pretty Mary Sue in 3 despite her background of being in a youth band that went around robbing and killing.
It's also weird that they picked Zoltan to be a central character considering he's barely in the books.

>most people who do like it like it because of the characters and plot are miles better than the main story of the actual game
most people are fucking stupid.
case in point: your post

I'm not a bookfag and I never will be because the one time I tried getting into the books I thought they were kind of shit. But I choose Yen purely on aesthetics alone. For me Brunette>Redhead and Yen also has the bonus of not sounding like an annoying American woman.

Attached: Yen smile.jpg (1920x1080, 442K)

What difficulty are you playing on?
Be sure to have decent equipment. Also look into oils and potions, and the bestiary explaining enemies weaknesses.
If you look around a bit to do some sidequests you should never be too underleveled. If everything feels too strong just go back to doing the main questline.

What about my post is stupid? Or are you so fucking retarded that you can't comprehend the concept of an opinion?

I fucking hate that card game so much.

Witcher 3 was "we want Shitrim audience" from the very first day. Only complete morons went with the hype, and only complete newfags missed the entire drama shitstorm that occurred years before release, which clearly showed how developers were turning into evil sellouts. Unfortunately Facebook cockroaches, Plebbit cancer and other social network underage turd gobblers outnumber sentient human beings 10 to 1, so Witcher 3 somehow passed the hate barrier, turning this place into the same echo chamber of praise as the rest of the 100 million dollar marketing brainwashed part of the internet.

Thronebreaker worth playing?

Because the overall map design is dogshit.
No reason to ever explore in this game, any part of the map that is more than pretty scenery will eventually have a marker put on it.

the hardest one. i've been upgrading my equipment and using oils.
is the main questline the best way to level up?

>then the third goes all soccer mom.
Isn't there a literal whore house in the third game?

How are you saying that there's no nudity?

I think it is.
Did the same during my first playthough, beginning was a bit hard to figure out but then I started overleveling everything after completing all the quests I found.

it definitely does but I can never get through death march because of really long death loading screens and 30fps drops
once you see some 60fps videos of it on youtube you can't look at the ps4 version the same way again

I never said there was no nudity.

Is this your first time playing? Why would you start on Death March? Blood and Broken Bones is the optimal difficulty for your first time.

harder difficulties mean you get less xp from stuff, not really that fun to do unless ng+

The game is not that hard.
Do not mistake initial difficulty curve and larger health pools for actual difficulty.

No, it literally shits on every narrative driven RPG ever released

The witcher series wasn't made for console zoomers who skip all dialog and choices, and it shows in every thread

Fellow bookfag here. I agree, I like Yen more.

should i play 1 and 2 before i try 3? i know the stories are linked but im not sure if i wanna play those

3 won't hold you outside the vignettes like the Bloody Baron unless you play 1 and 2
besides, 1 is the best game

Remember that quest Fencing Lessons with two nubile blonde twins the clearly want your sword? The quest goes literally no where.

Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 163K)

My first playthough was in Death Match and I like it because it forced me to go out of my way to learn about monsters and do more than shield + quick attacks.
Best example I have was that fight against a fire elemental. Impossible at first, then became piss easy when I farmed golem oil + did some research and understood bombs and Aard were good against it. Game offers a way to deal with most enemies that way, and I think that elevates its otherwise average combat to something really enjoyable.

Can you actually have sex in Witcher 2? Like Geralt actually penetrates women and you get to see it?

Why don't the succubi just work at whore houses?

no but thats the least of witcher 2s problems.

And the Ard Skellig succubus as well. She even taunts you about not being able to sex her.

Can someone actually talk cdpr's praises without making a squatting joke? I swear half of their good image is from bare-bone slavic stereotype jokes.

I didn't wanna be a prude and just fuck wenches at a brothel, but when she requested extra lessons I was so ready to plough her silly.

Can you actually have sex in this game?
Or do they just go into a room and time passes

no because that, tracksuits and vodka is all people know about slavs

It had great characters, but overall I enjoyed Toussaint more because the environment was gorgeous.

in retrospect, should've just left and gone do something else, but why the FUCK is there that high level a quest in the first fukken town

Cause this isn't a porn game

HoS is overrated
TW2 was better and grittier

Geralt is the most basic character in any video game. He's just another sam Fisher/solid snake/Nathaniel drake grizzled soldier guy but in a fantasy setting instead of a modern one, and with even less personality. It's like if you took your dnd character and leveled every stat equally. A little magic, but no impressive spells, only good with one type of weapon, not really tanky, not really a ranger, he's a fucking tutorial character.

Why bother having naked butt sex but not show penis or vag

what's the point?

Witcher 2 is my favourite of the series and while I preferred narrower world of that game. I was worried I wouldn't like Witcher 3 but eventually played it a few years after release and it hasn't disappointed really.

there's butts though
and it's overall tastefully censored

The baron quest line was kink

How would you fix Geralt?

He's a swordsman far beyond the level humans are capable of achieving. He's a genetically modified super soldier. The third game doesn't do a good job of explaining what a Witcher is.

It's like a sex scene in a movie. Supposed to be somewhat titillating, but it's not even close to porn.

Better question, how did you not notice the big red skull on the quest log and the high level recommendation?

Cause frankly I don't know if I'd be able to look geralt in the eyes anymore after seeing his penis.

It really is a boring game with a vocal shill fanbase. Got it for ps4 on release and immediately sold it, the world is ugly, every quest takes too long because of all the fluff dialogue. I got it again for pc to see if the extra power would change my mind but I still hate it. To each their own.

I think I got the point the first time he split a guy in half from head to toe.

In the third game? Show more of his weak side, maybe.

I mean I cant, that's his character. He's a witcher, and witchers just happen to be the most, vanilla, Jack of all trades but master of none, and in my opinion boring characters in a video game.
So the fix would be to let me play as another character, or just make my own.

Don't know about you anons, but for the Baron quest I chose to save those kids. Why should shitty people like the Baron and his wife get a second chance over a bunch of children who have literally done nothing wrong except be born with the bad luck of ending up as food for the Crones.

Change his voice. For one I'm tired of being the only one in the world who speaks like that. He sounds like he's choking on cock the whole time.

>My first playthough was in Death Match and I like it because it forced me to go out of my way to learn about monsters and do more than shield + quick attacks
That's pretty much all I did on Death March

Yea that too. Honestly voices were hit or miss in general but Geralt's voice just took me out of the world. It was clearly a voice actor trying to make his normal voice as rough as possible.

I started on the series back in 2008. Witcher 3 could have been a 4/10 and I still would have liked it.

Attached: 1553440649382.jpg (640x480, 81K)

I really wanted to like this game, but I just couldn't get into it. The UI bothered me and it just wasn't immersive. Almost fell like a single player MMO with the quest board in town with the level required for every quest.

The kids have no future

Nobody in Velen has a future.

I did it to piss off the crones. Also none deserves to be turned into a pulsating blob of flesh.

Great to hear, because CDPR have another 4/10 coming up for you

I feel that levels in this game ruin it, locking armor and quests away from the player for no reason but the be arbitrary about stuff. Better level up if you want to go to skellige first, but you basically cant unless you do main quests which pushes skellige back. I also really fucking hate equipment having level locks on them. The exp bar should just give skill points on a rank up not a level.

Yeah I really don't understand what the point of that was. I would find armor but then I wouldn't be able to use it for the next 20 hours, didn't really incentivize exploration

In terns of quality the main story is great but still worse than both DLCs. With that in mind it's probably in your best interest to save the best for last

Not like it matters either way. The Baron's men take over no matter what and nothing changes in Velen at all. Even if you go out of your way to keep the Baron alive he still fucks off never to be seen again and his men continue raping the locals.

It's nonsensical in places too. You can find sidequests meant for the late/end/post-game in Velen and other early areas and they just sit in your questlog for however long it takes you to beat the main quest and finally get to a point where you won't get your shit slapped in one hit by drowners or whatever else is involved in the quest.
