You DID leave the leshen alone, right Yea Forums?

I think Leshen had to die. Because it was killing people. Even if it wasn't getting tribute. I didn't have the girl killed tho. I wish could have saved the elder or punished his killers.

Honestly? No. I don't think it's good enough to warrant the time investment, and the main storyline is honestly boring as fuck, and filled with really uninteresting and bland characters - the game's side missions are the real standout, but still not worth the 100 hours you'd have to sink into it.

Cool, I'll leave it on the backburner.

yeah, the first 10 hours are an absolute slog and snoozefest. you have to force yourself through Metz' quest until the bloody baron, and it makes a soft take off from there, then it takes a really solid takeoff once you cross the pontar and reach novigrad & Oxenfurt.
From there, don't just do the story. try to reach a level in the 30's and travel to Toussaint as soon as it's feasible, or do the hearts of stone DLC. they're so fucking good.

I consider the Bloody Baron and the Crookback Bog witches to be side-characters, you barely have to interact with them to progress with the main story, even if that's the first way to meet them.

> >Witch Hunter Menge
Barely any screen time, good character though.
> Djikstra
Good character, mishandled storyline and unfortunately part of the worst part of the game (going around Novigrad like a retard looking for Ciri).
> >Eskil and Lambert
VERY good characters, not enough screen time, Lambert gets more in... a side quest.
> Emperor Emhyr
Not enough screen time but honestly didn't find him interesting.
> >Cerys and Hjalmar an Craite
Cerys was uninteresting, Hjalmar was cool but again, you mostly interact with him in a sidequest.
> Blueboy Lugos and his band of merry retards
Again, wasn't this a sidequest? This is literally the best sidequest in the game, I absolutely loved Vigi The Loon and was pissed he died without so much as a mention ingame.
> Dandelion and Zoltan
I'll admit it, they don't do it for me. Dandelion in small doses is OK, but going around doing meandering shit for him in Novigrad is just incredibly boring.
> >Vernon Roche and Ves
Don't care about Ves, but Vernon was great and needed more screen time.
> Mad king Radovid
No option to side with him, unfortunately. Also could have used more screen time.

Too much valuable screen time is wasted on annoyingly boring characters like Ciri, Yennefer, Triss, Keira and Priscilla instead of on a lot of these characters. But again, none of these are main characters and the ones you do meet through the main story you mostly interact with during non-obligatory sidequests.

You can complete the main quest and the majority of side ones in 20-25 hs if you know what are you doing...

...but it would be the guy's first time playing and he's going to want to do side content, too.

that's exactly what i meant to say.

this.
i never kill any sentient monsters that did not kill a human or try to attack me.

I never played that shitty game so yes

>ywn share a wine bottle with roche and tell stories until sunset

I killed that motherfucker.
Leshens are violent psychos who enforce arbitrary rules of 'their' forests.
They hid behind their veil of oh so one with nature bullshit but they are just violent cunts who kill because they like it.

replace roche with regis.
roche's stories would only be grisly murdering of elves and raping of whores.
with regis, you could have long philosophical conversations on the nature of men, sharing of best potion brewing practices, and some occasional grisly murder stories.

Is poland about to fall into irrelevancy again?

are leshens inherently benign creatures trying to defend the wilderness?

I wish I had.

What? No, you should do Blood and Wine at the end of the game.
If you are gonna jump into a DLC, at least make it heart of stone.

well in that case feel free to go around the corner and go to the designated tranny VN thread.

Reminder that Radovid did nothing wrong and sorceress have brought you nothing but trouble across all 3 games and in the stories
Also the Witcher fundamentally works better with lower level stories and side quests which is why the main story for 3 is so blah while the DLC stories are 10/10

same goes for the book series where the best is the set of short stories

>are leshens inherently benign creatures trying to defend the wilderness?
No. Leshens aren't even sapient, but this one seems to have acquired sapience through living for so long. The elder even claims that it once brought in uncharacteristically heavy fog to help them fight off a raid.

Obviously it doesn't protect the village because it loves them, but in my opinion he acts as a sort of feudal lord - if he gets his due, he helps in his own ways.

Based and redpilled, already drew 2 faggots out of the woodwork.

You could also just relate it to ants or fungus, living things who have been known to protect or cultivate other living things when there is a beneficial outcome for them. It's not even remotely sapient, it's just something that posses enough awareness of self to also be aware of other living things.

An ant isn't going to ominously stare at you from the back, in concealment, as you restore the generations-long pact that was made between you and it. I don't buy that this leshen isn't sapient honestly, from what the elder tells you and from the leshen's actions, the thing is relatively intelligent and aware of itself.

>monster demands tribute and will kill you if you don't pay
Yeah the leshen was a good boy who didn't do anything wrong.

But an ant is going to stare at you ominously.

Yes they will. Ants calculate, watch, and conceal all the time. The collections of species in the rainforests alone are in constant development that reflect their surroundings. They're some of the most ancient living things on Earth for a reason. A Leshen really is not altogether different from a colony of ants.

Have ants ever made literal pacts with human villages? Have they ever aided said villages in literal war?

I think there's just too much ingame proof that the woodland spirit is sapient to dismiss it as just another leshen.

I killed Ogg, Pogg and Rogg because I needed their livers.
They were too good for this world

how could you

There are ants that literally farm plants and ranch other insects. The parallels are there, they're very clear. The point I'm making is that something doesn't need to be sapient, or even intelligent, to understand that helping out a source of a beneficial relationship when there is violence being acted against them equates to a beneficial outcome to itself. I'm not saying that Leshen are literally ants, I'm saying they're similar. Especially since once that beneficial relationship ends, it simply kills when it wants and treats that source like everything else. It's only ever looking out for itself, and that does not take intelligence or sapience.

did you kill the priest torturing that prostitute?

I don't think there's a way to kill him without ruining the overarching side quest and not finding the real murderer.

> It's only ever looking out for itself, and that does not take intelligence or sapience.
Sure, obviously it's also gaining something from the relationship, that's how everything in the world works - but why? Why would it ever accept the pact? Every other leshen seems content to roam around doing whatever the fuck it pleases, but for some reason this one is going around training hunters and warriors from a particular village and helping them when they get attacked.

I just think the Spirit is on a whole other plane of intelligence when compared to most other monsters in the game, even being able to distinguish between the villagers and the invading force is already more than most monsters can probably manage.

Based, fuck that leshen

No, guy's sick but he seemed to be telling the truth.

You just have to listen to him first so you can figure out who the vampire is. Then he goes back to torturing at which that point you can kill him.

I hate any game that requires an investment of time to become enjoyable. I already paid money for it, now I must give my time as well?
I'm not fond of jumping ahead in a game. I would prefer to finish the vanilla content before delving into the expansions.
I have yet to be swayed to that opinion. I'd sooner nominate Skyrim, Warband, or Crusader Kings II.
When has Poland been relevant in recent history?
I would eschew faggotry at every available opportunity. Do you mean to say that playing Witcher 3 is a homosexual act, or rather the opposite?

>but user this is a Witcher thread

I KNOW

then you’re a fucking idiot

Discuss things in a civil matter, faggot.

hard to have a civil discussion with someone who thinks leaving a helpless woman to be tortured by a psychopath just because he wasn’t the serial killer you were looking for is a good idea

I didn't, I mind controlled him away because I'm not some sort of faggot that kills a dude who just told me the truth. He did right by Geralt, and Geralt has no reason to kill him.

you're a retarded faggot. you can kill him after you extract the info you dumb motherfucker.
also, that guy was just tortunig the women, the serial killer was killing people. guess which one is worse you dumb ironic baiting fag
>tfw can't believe i swallowed this obvious bait

he only told the truth out of fear for his life

yeah, and I’m sure he’s going to turn over a new leaf and be a changed man afterwards
no shit Sherlock, I never said you should jump at the chance to kill him, just that leaving him alive is retarded.

Falls squarely into the category of "not Geralt's problem".

> unironically believes Geralt should be a knight in shining armor
how many times does Geralt literally tell people in game that he can't and doesn't want to help everyone? Not only that, but this guy even HELPS you. There is zero chance Geralt would kill him, even if the guy is sick.

It's not about being soft - the creature protects the village and as a result of its trials, their hunters have gained fame as being the best around. The Spirit might quite literally be propping up the entire village by itself, seeing as it would have probably been burned to the ground already if it didn't help them fight off the raid the elder mentions.

Bullshit. Geralt is a decent human and draws the line at degeneracy and at harming Children no matter the circumstances.

But Leshens and their Spriggain cousins are evil monsters user. They do absolutely nothing for the good of others if it isn't a benifit to themselves and will violently murder entire groups of people who enter their den in the dense forest.

it doesn’t take a knight to be a decent person and spend 1 literal minute to stop a psychopath while he’s on his other errand that is, as you would put it, “not Geralt’s problem”

yes but also no. the base game goes to shit after velen and only recovers after you do a thousand fetch quests to find ciri. blood and wine and hearts of stone are absolutely fucking fantastic though, shame the rest of the game isn't as good.

Attached: 1550544181239.jpg (640x360, 42K)

black vampire plate armor is better than all of those. geralt clean shaven with elven rebel cut

This. Theres multiple points throughout the game that Geralt says outright he hates degenerates and will get violent like with the Crones and Whoreson Junior.

You are a retard to let prople you don't even know decide for you, fuck off.

> But Leshens and their Spriggain cousins are evil monsters user.
Normally absolutely, but I'd argue that this particular Leshen has achieved sapience, is no longer pure evil, as much as it is akin to a feudal lord that rules over his stretch of land, occasionally demanding men unintentionally sacrifice their lives for him (feudal lord demands men fight his wars, leshen demands they fight nature) and other things (payments grain and others for feudal lord, sacrifices for leshen) for protection (both work the same).

You must be a retard zoomer that have the attention span of a fly.

You're not interested in actually making an argument, you're just interested in using retarded buzzwords that you think make you sound cool, go be a retard somewhere else if you're not going to participate in the discussion.
