WITCHER 1 SWAMP

When you eat food you can get up to 3 red circles. Do they increase how fast you heal ?

You can mouse over over status effects to see what they do, you know.

how bad do you have to be to cheese a game where you level up way beyond the difficulty curve simply by playing?

Okay niggers, you win, what's the proper way to play TW in the current year?
Last time I played it, I used the scabbard mod and a mod that applied a simple sharpening filter to textures, surely there's more by now.
And don't tell me to install FCR, your damage output not being dependent on your sword was the best thing about TW.

If you're talking about the red vine it's a hard mini boss, just level up some more by doing quests in the city then come back.

just run through nigga, like dont even look back lmao

Nothing changed.
Also don't use that crappy texture sharpening mod, just use reshade or something.

Do all the side quests in the city you missed and you will be OP

i remember being quite happy with it
i also remember a minimalist UI that didn't look like complete puke, but i never installed it. then again, TW's UI isn't too obtrusive to begin with

nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/340
you need this mod to give you the access to storage anywhere, it puts an icon in your quest items once you activate the scroll and talk to the girl.

outside of that and some texture mods, you don't really need anything.

here's the ones i used during my last playtrhough
nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/719
nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/703
nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/259
nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/256

and then whichever face mod strikes your fancy. You can also check out the more herbs mod, which gives you more per pick if you want to make money. I just use cheat engine because fuck grinding for money, it's way too annoying in this game. I also use CE to give my character increased exp whenever this guide says to grind up a few levels.
gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/915112-the-witcher/faqs/64245

and that's how I played through it twice.

Use the mini map.

Dumb zoomer, if you time your attacks right you will stunlock those leeches, and once they enter death animation you need to double tap movement keys to get away from their explosion.

Got to love those leech cascades when they start popping each other.

meh, i played vanilla originally so i never saw the need to cheat, even to save time
thanks for the other mods though

Also to get in the middle of them and 360 degree igni their asses off.

Or just group style. It's OP anyway.

even with cheating it took me 77 hours to beat the game, according to steam. I'm sure some of that time was just sitting idle while I was looking up stuff, but that's a long damn time when I was blowing through it without having to grind for money or levels. and grinding for money without instant access to that chest, is one of the most brutal things I've ever tried to do.

>why dont people want to play an out dated game with awful combat, must be plebs

>another pleb got filtered

Good.

Those leeches drop albar's crystals, one of the post valuable ingredients you can farm.

swamp was alright for act 2 but act 4 and 5 can suck my nuts I just wanted to be done by then

Go fast style, draw your weapon and zoom past all the annoying monsters.

just like you completely filter pussy out of your life

other than writing, this game has nothing going for it. i'd never reccomend playing this to anyone, unless there are now mods that completely overhaul the gameplay.

>t.pleb

ignore him, you're right he's just a retarded neckbeard

I played TW1 up until I warped to that lake side town. The game was alright, but I was getting bored and I still had like 5 more acts to go.

>that one act that manages to be the comfiest moment of any videogame
God dam witcher 1 had SOUL. Shame everyone thinks you're automatically being an ironic contrarian if you dare mention it blows 2 and 3 out of the water in terms of story, world, writing and content.

is that meant to be Vizima? God, its like they could never decide what the city was meant to look like.

Yeah but I can also understand why people would drop it because of the combat. It's not for everyone, and it takes a while to get used to and find fun.

I can smell your sweaty fat ass from here

shame it looks awful and plays awful

What is it with W1 and retards too stupid to play games?

First of, what fucking creature do you even mean with "slime monster that stuns you for 5 seconds"? I literally can't remember a single enemy in the swamps that could stun you? Do you mean the Bloodzeugls? The things that move at near negative speed? How the fuck are those a problem, like nigger, just run away. Or Drowners? Those don't stun and die to like a single group style combo. Or is it the plant that's giving you problems? Because that would be the only legit thing to whine about: because the thing is, that plant is a royal hunt you are meant to do in Chapter 3 unless you know what you're doing. But even then, the plant might have multiple spawn points, but it still is fucking immobile, again nigger, just run.

Killing monsters gives almost no XP anyway, no reason to fight everything you come across, especially fighting against the Bloodzeugls is just a buttfucking retarded thing to do which you should actually realize after having fought like 5 of them without finding a reliable way to dodge their final attack.

It isn't Vizima

Nigger, I'm 90% confident you're trolling, but just to be sure - no, this is underwater city of vodyanoi fishpeople.

Are we talking of THIS act?

The Witcher 1 is legitimately my favourite video game. I had more fun playing it with FCR than I have any other vidya.

There are extra "quests" in the game only available through the main menu. Two of them are fully voiced. This is one of them.

that quest and the lady of the lake was pure kino

Not really. Unless someone is a complete ADHD kiddie the combat shouldn't give much problems or anything. Switching styles is easy and the "rhythm" part people cry about is coming from people who never even played an actual rhythm game.
It has by no means worse combat than W2 and 3' "spam dodge and spam attack, doesn't even matter if light or strong attack".

>wojak pepe edit
Why

the only challenging thing i remember from W1 was the boss fight near the end of act 1 vs a couple demonic dogs, that shit frustrated me i had to ragequit and come back to it

So is there a story behind as to why Geralt lost this sword?

You actually get to carry it to the second game, but it's good only early on

nvm, somehow completely fucking forgot about the fish niggas

I know, but when you get it back in the 3rd game DLC it's said that he lost it

Best song in the game coming through

I think that losing it means selling it or just straight up dropping it in 2

Is there a legitimate way to dodge this? I remember trying various timings using the backdash, but it seemed like you would get hit every time. The only way was to cheese it by spinning 180 and sprinting away.

It's just incredible how much soul this game has

now I feel like replaying this game. the first time I took the knights side because siegfried was a bro

Didn't Saskia swallow it in w2's prologue?

No idea, but that would make sense

It felt more real than either of the sequels. I can't put my finger on it but 2 and 3 had this high fantasy fairy tale quality that 1 didn't.

Use potions/oils and use stances properly.

Well there's the other one

I'm aware people use spoilertags for no reason most of the time, sorry dude. They great games. Not sure how unpopular this opinion is but TW3 is probably one of my all time favs and I'm sure you'll like it.

Attached: morenn.png (447x679, 430K)

I think instead of replaying the entire series, I'll just replay 1 with side stories and leave it at that.
2 is good but nowhere near as special, and 3 is ehhhh.

the only hard part of witcher 1 was that one plant contract that for some reason dealt absurd amounts of damage and was really tanky
Just try to avoid enemies in the swap, and later on you can just run away until they lose aggro

>it didn't have to be the aerondight
It would make sense if it was however.
>op silver sword given by the lady of the lake
>silver for monsters
>get attacked by dragon
>use op silver sword

Don't worry dude, it was my fault for opening them without even thinking about them.

First time I took the knights side too. Second time I went neutral. Now, knowing the ending, I go neutral because fuck them both. Elves would kill us all if they could and the knights are zealous assholes.

If only I had the chance to kill the lodge, They fuck up everything for everyone. My only solace is knowing that Phillipa eventually dies in the books.

I don't understand how you can dislike 3 if you've played 1 and 2 when there's so much homage the prequels in it.

You can't make a good game on fanservice alone.

If you didn't have a save from the first game you don't have the aerondight in the second game so it's inconsistent

Then how can you dislike it for the combat when it's basically the same as 2 and not as crappy as 1's?

Don't put words in my mouth.

>it's not the combat
Then what? Are you the ultimate contrarian and dislike it for other reasons?

So good. There's a battle theme which repurposes a folk song from my country and I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it. This game/series has tonnes of soul and people can't dissuade me from thinking so.

>contrarian
Every fucking time. Don't reply to me.

lol faggot

Which one?

Not that other user, but I dislike w3 for its combat (it wasn't offensive to me, thought it was just fine) and dislike it for butchering canon so much. I still like the game though, but think that w2 has much stronger story that fits well within the canon without contradicting it every step of the way

Attached: 1543449516025.jpg (1080x1080, 329K)

Can you please explain what's wrong with witcher 3

if you don't roll away from the leeches after killing them they can oneshot you so if you're a total casul then you might get dunked

fuck, meant 'don't dislike it for its combat' fucking retard

I don't remember anything bothering me canon wise, unless we're talking about the books which I didn't read.

Witcher 2 is too much political drama, it feels wrong for Geralt to be a part of all of this, especially if you've read the books. I'm also not sure about the Canon being butchered in 3, can you tell something more about that?

Whats your graphical settings? Can you screenshot them?

It is annoying to wade through it for the gorillionth time, sure. But hard? No, what the fuck, it really isn't.

That act is the best thing ever done in any video game

>tfw rereading the books you partially started years ago and finally finishing them, then replaying the 2007 game that got you into series, then playing W2 properly for the first time, and then fully immersing yourself in W3 for the next half a year, pure 300+ hours of playtime

I've never felt so empty, and I've said quite a few farewells to beloved franchises on my memory. What a journey of a lifetime.

>unless we're talking about the books which I didn't read.
user... the books are the only canon there is, you fucking dolt. The games are fanfiction that contradict it either strongly (w3), slightly (thronebreaker, w1) or not at all (w2)

They always pause for a second before they explode. Once you recognize this, it gives you plenty of time to dodge or run away.

> t. Sapkowski

I can't, I've long since uninstalled the game. It might be MSAAx4 coupled with 4k resolution and 16 anisotropic filtering that gives it that clean look you've noticed, I don't know. Besides that I've had all settings on max.

And like I said, I didn't read them so I thought you were talking about game lore.

Witcher 1 is pure soul.

You may hate the swamp now, but in a couple of years you'll say "fuck man remember the Witcher 1 swamp?"

Again, soul.

With all respect to CDPR, games really are a fanfic tier "what if" story with miraculous resurrection, amnesia and whatnot, that sorta diminish ending of Lady of the Lake. Doesn't mean I didn't like them, though, they were a great fan letter to the series and its world, and a guilty pleasure of seeking happy ending.

The mod that makes you move really quickly makes the game much more bearable.

I like 3, but I have a lot of trouble getting into 1 or 2, just for how they play.
Is there a way to really feel it, or is it just not for me?

potions in this game were better than both of the sequels

>I'm also not sure about the Canon being butchered in 3, can you tell something more about that?
The white frost is for some reason a magical thing that ciri can stop, whereas in the books it's just a natural process of stars dying out.
Ciri is the chosen one that can stop the white frost, whereas in the books she's supposed to give birth to the chosen one, which is why everyone wants to fuck her. And the chosen one isn't even supposed to stop the white frost - just be a very powerful mage .
White frost isn't even the focus in the books, it's mentioned maybe twice or thrice in passing
Don't even get me started on the butchered characters - Yennefer, Triss, Ciri, Avallac'h and their relationship with each other. cdpr are very good at writing compelling and good characters, but they have completely dropped the ball when it comes to these four
Ciri for some reason can't control her powers again, even though she was in complete control by the end of the last book
It also bothered me greatly that in blood and wine not once, not even fucking once did Geralt and Regis mention their hanza, which is fucking retarded as fuck, considering that they've spend almost a whole winter in tuissent together, and later all died one by one trying to save ciri

You'll just disregard it and keep calling everyone contrarian for years to come.
Off the top of my head:

>most armor looks like fucking trash, among the sets that don't, one is a throwback to TW2 (still a good one, have to admit), one is just TW1's default in HD, one makes no sense to wear even though it's Witcher gear (bear), and one becomes overdesigned shit by last tier (wolf); meanwhile vitaln.com/ehalos/witcher2/

>level upscaling they added post-release was a band-aid that didn't even scale quests so you gained pretty much nothing from doing the gray ones
>dozens of forgettable drowning in danger contracts
And there's more.

Everyone has trouble getting into 1, you have to slog through the first hour or so of the game until you're near the castle area which is where the game begins to pick up

I don't know, man, it depends on how much you like the story and writing. I myself really hated W2 combat and consider it the worst of all 3 so I cheated it, just so I could enjoy story in peace. I'd suggest you do the same for W1, I guess.

I don't know about that user, but are you playing the Enhanced Edition Director's Cut release?

What was the intended strategy for it, again? Were there some water barrels or am I misremembering? It was sure a pain in the ass.

Witcher 1 is kind of Stalker-ish in a way that you have to play a bit before it clicks for you. And a lot of people get stuck on the first chapter.

Croatia - one of the least relevant slavic countries. Which is why it blew me away when I heard it, the fact that they took the time.

Just use the group style my dudes

quen it to death

Witcher 2 isn't good. Combat is way fucking worse, for one - at least that DDR-shit can be mastered. Clunky "we want Dark Souls Audience" shit from 2 can't.
Story is alright, but I'd say it's one of "those" games.

What a bummer. Fishbro was great and I almost expected to meet up with him or some other fish freaks in W3 what with all of the swimming and crap added. The water sections were kinda missed opportunities.

You realize his name is and always has been Pepe, right?

Come on, poles love Croats, or at least I do

If I remember correctly it was done as part of post about Yea Forums memes now vs then and it was actually mocking wojack/pepeposters. Should've seen it coming that they would start to actually use it.

FPSCounter? Yep. The name is misleading, as the FPS counter is the least interesting feature of that tool.

Also when Ciri went full edgelord with rats, but particularly the part with Leo Bonhart, Sapkowski really managed to sell this dude as terrifying, as that detailed grotesque scene of him butchering rats had some real shock value because it was so down to earth (and dirt) and real in depiction of death.

Also, remember that teen that joined them way later, Anguleme? Now that's an unlucky kid, didn't even have time to properly develop as a character. Also was a nice touch that Geralt was so obsessed with finding Ciri/Yen by then that for a moment he hallucinated Anguleme as her.

Wow, I did not remember that at all. Guess I have to reread.

That part really tugged at my heart.

can you adjust the settings? your image has it looking too strong.

That wasn't sexual(until later), he just had visions about her.
Same with Geralt.

Unironically get gud

Is the Ciri bitch mentioned in the first game at all? I fucking hated her Mary Sue powers in 3. I'd rather have a somewhat comfy adventure without trying to find the chosen one this time

I beat it easily on my first try. Sometimes you just have to face the facts that you’re shit at video games to get better

>tfw she didn't get to start her own brothel...

>I really thought they'd end up together or something.
desu, best case scenario, she'd marry some noble nilfshit tool and Cahir'd become her bodyguard always silently watching and standing vigil outside her bedroom while her husband fucks her
she's mentioned once in an easter egg story someone tells geralt, but since geralt has amnesia at that time he doesn't pay any attention to it

Not in name, but yes.

Yeah, near the last couple books it really began to jump back and forward, creating this aura that events of books are a thing of past, a fairytale an old man tells to children. The story of a Witcher and Zirael has entered that world's lore by then. That depiction and framing was creating a sense of scale to that world.

And that part from Season of Storms (relatively recent book that takes place somewhere in between first two), with young Nemue, 100 years in the future from the end of Lady of the Lake, you know it really hit me when the fox pretended to be Geralt and she cried and kept saying "I knew you were alive!" and pleaded for him to stay because she wanted to know more about his and Ciri legend, it really hurt me because it felt like readers' self insert.
"Illusion, it's all an illusion..."
I think fox turned into the thing people yearned for the most.

Yeah, it was never outright said but heavily implied even Geralt cried.

Friendly reminder that Ciri wnated Eredin to fuck her raw in some hovel, all because the elf king she's been pimped out to previously couldn't even get it up

So basically that old guy that was around Daenerys in GoT.

Yes, except not old and ugly. also not a pathetic slaver

Haven't read Season of Storms, a friend of mine, also huge fan of the series told me that it was not up to the series standards.
But from what you said I think I'll have to put put a doubt to his words and read it either way.

Baloney, it absolutely is on par with previous books, and while not crucial to story it was a great return to series, something to fill the void left after completing W3.

Damn, I really want to quote the epilogue of Season of Storms but I only have it in my native language on hands, no English pdf around.
Anyway, that epilogue was really heartbreaking.

witcher 1 is probably the most immersive and comfy game i have ever played; the first chapter literally surpassed my expectations with how detective-y and dynamic it was for a mid 2000s game

I can't remember to be honest. All I remember is that because the effect is forced onto the game, there are glitches to be found. Pic related, look at the weird diagonals on the sky.

Well, anyway it seems like this thread is coming to a peaceful end, I really enjoyed discussing series with y'all anons.

I think you're confusing it with second chapter if we're talking detective quests, when you finally get into Vizima.

>Run
>Get like 30 of those fucks
>Activate Crit Stance
>Everything dies after two swings

no im specifically referencing the first part where youre trying to figure out why the villagers are all sick or whatever

was there anything worse than that? that seems fine.

Oh, yeah, that too.

Fun fact, a load of orchestral teams went mad trying to source slavic singers when witcher III came out. Apparently its a unique vocal suite and there's only a dozen or so who aren't literal polish gypsy witches outside the country.

oh i forgot the tutorial/first part in kaer moran; nah im talking about when you get to the inn in the first shitty little village with the witch

someone should edit this and replace the faces with wojak and pepe

absolutely fucking based 10/10

Imagine being Eredin in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Auberon, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific androgynous monster face. A child of Elder blood would totally have sex with you, both fake and the real Ciri." when all he really wants to do is fuck another 16 year old in his room. Like seriously imagine having to be Eredin and not only stand vigil outside that bedroom while Auberon Muircetach flaunts his disgusting body in front of Ciri, the favorable lighting barely concealing his wrinkles and leathery skin, and just stand there, hour after hour, night after night, while he tries to get it up. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fucking visage but his haughty attitude as everyone in the palace tells him he's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, AUBERON MUIRCETACH LOOKS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to stand there and listen to him produce pathetic gremlin types of winces and squeals you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of human and elven virgns and later alleged rape victims for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Tir ná Lia. You've never even heard anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on his dimpled stomach as he sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at young Cirilla, smugly assured that she is enjoying the opportunity to get to lay there and revel in his "statuesque (for that is what he calls himself)" beauty, the beauty he worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then Avallac'h calls for another attempt, and you know you could kill every single person in the palace before the guards could put you down, but you stand there and endure, because you're fucking Eredin Bréacc Glas. You're not going to lose your future political career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

lmao he mad

someone should edit that nigger face with a wojak

Nice. He was that leader of elves from another another dimension they wanted Ciri pass Lara Dorren gene to, right (well, to their offspring)? I don't remember but was Avallach totally okay with the idea or was he the one who helped Ciri escape?

What settings are you using for reshade and what are you using for AO? I see a profile to force HBAO though inspector on the nexus but I 'm curious what the other options are. I also see that there's an ENB, is that any good?

avallac'h was the one who came up with the idea to pimp ciri out to their junkie king. none of the elves helped her escape - the unicorns did. Which is why Ciri's buddy-buddy relationship with avallac'h in w3 is so fucking retarded
>He was that leader of elves from another another dimension they wanted Ciri pass Lara Dorren gene to, right (well, to their offspring)?
Auberon was, yes. Eredin was his general and leader of the red riders aka the Wild Hunt. He was also the one who supposedly inadvertently poisoned auberon to death by giving him viagra to finally get the rape train moving.
It's all pretty fucked up without moving into an edgelord territory

not him but forcing hbao doesn't work very well

Geralt didn't give one single fuck about political drama, though, and the game let you express his disgusted sentiment at every single possible point about it.

His story and mission was straight up "clear my name and (eventually) rescue my redheaded waifu" the entire game because he let himself be manipulated and dragged around by his sorceress GF who did want to be playing power games in king's court and the lodge.

The political stuff was nothing more than exposition and backdrop. The situation let powerful people exploit him for their own motives while he bargained and used his talents for information to help himself to get him unfucked as an assumed king slayer.

I thought it was perfectly in character for him.

As others said the game is easy even on the hardest difficulty if you use your brain a bit. Before it explodes double tap the key S, Igni is good but with Yrden you can control their distance better, dodging with the double tap becomes really simple. Drink potions, use oils sometimes, you know witchers do that for a reason.

Jow did you get past the Beast if you don't understand kiting in videogames?

First time I played and burned out in the swamp I had a mod that removed the visual indicators for the melee timing, leaving just the audio, I think among other changes. What mod is that?

FCR

I was afraid of that. Anything that does it standalone or is it easy enough to do myself?

fuck, i can hear the music

doubt

>looks amazing
Let's not get ahead of ourselves...

>SOUL

I am playing 1 right now. I don't recall any slime monsters in the swamp. There are drowners and leeches and plants. But they were all fairly easy and not slime.
I am on chapter 4 right now. That Wild Hunt side quest with the Wraiths that stun lock you infinitely was balls though.
Also I accidentally left some chapter 3 side quests unfinished. Are they gone forever or will they come back?

>you need this mod to give you the access to storage anywhere
I don't see anything in the description talking about accessing storage. It also seems to do a shit ton of things I don't want.
Is there a mod that just lets me access storage anywhere for when I grab too much loot in a dungeon without changing anything else?

>Vaska has a card
Worried

Sounds like an autism thing.

Yeah I realized that and switched to the custom AO that's part of the fps counter mod. It's no Crysis but I think the game actually looks pretty good for being 12 years old

Am I in the minority here of absolutely loving the first witcher, but hating the 4th chapter with a passion? This act is literally, without exaggeration 80% walking between point A and B, and the whole plot felt completely disconnected and irrelevant to the main story.

>waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh swamp haaaaard
>you can easily buy a drowner repelling talisman at that point

Everyone that whines about the swamp is a fucking idiot.

You talking about the city part?

no I mean the act those anons were talking about, the one with the water people and that guy's dead wife in the fields.

No. The scripting in that part is not great and it's easy to get caught in a situation where you know the answer to the mystery but not how the game actually wants you to proceed. It was definitely the weakest part of the game.

hope you can tweak that. I was going to use it on my next playthrough but that looks worse than without it.

Your mother sucks dwarf cock

Witcher 1 combat is for brainlets. How are you this bad?

See, this shit? Insufferable. Either I'm a contrarian, an EA/Bethesda shill, a fromdrone, or an autist.
Criticism? Nah, fuck criticism.

SOME BODY

God this pic is amazing

you can, there are sliders for AA, sharpness, color correction, and AO
