The Witcher 3

Re: The Witcher 3

It took 156 hours of focus, dedication, and some bad-*** monster slaying to complete the main quest. Still have some witcher contracts to finish, and many areas to explore, especially all the smaller islands around Skellige. Here is how the important story points came out:

Saving Ciri

Spoiler

After killing Eredin, I was convinced that Avelac'h had tricked me and snatched Ciri to further his own goals. Once I reached the tower, I decided to give him one last chance to explain himself. Ciri appeared, and went into the portal to stop the White Frost. I thought for sure she was dead, but then when I got the sword, I named it Swallow in her name, not knowing that I would give it to her a few moments later. Ciri quickly gained fame as the ashen haired monster hunter throughout the land.

King Radovid

Spoiler

This was one of the hardest decisions I made during the course of the game. I helped Dijkstra at first, rescuing Thaler from the rock trolls, but at the meeting in the warehouse, I had to step away from the assassination plot. I believe that Radovid was a bad man, who deserved whatever death he got, but I could not bring myself to partake in the plot. Geralt had said that he was not a kingkiller, and I although I almost changed that, I stuck with my original choice.

Emperor Emhyr

Spoiler

Since the beginning of the game, I thought he was a dick, so I did not do him any favors. He ended up being killed by his own people.

Geralt's Love Life

Spoiler

By far he most important part of the game, obviously. I chose Triss over Yennefer. Personally, I think that Triss is way hotter than Yen (although Yen is very beautiful) and I think that Yen is very bossy. After I chose Triss originally, I was pleased with my choice, but once I got to Skellige, I did not know if I made the right decision. But, after finding out that a djinn had cast a spell to keep Yen and Geralt together, I knew I made the right choice.

P.S.- I did sleep with Kiera. It was awesome

This game is fantastic, and I will definitely keep playing and exploring the world, and I cannot wait until the expansions come out.

156 hours? Wow! That's a lot of damn hours.

Re: The Witcher 3

Decoys can be great when the Cpu dumps spies on you or when you bait an opponent into overplaying their hand and you drop a round so that you can wipe the, out in the subsequent round.

That's the thing though, you can just heal them next round. Same for the card dump strategy. Only, healers are more versatile, you can play a big card (or cards) first round, maybe they beat you, maybe they give up, then next round they just get healed back to the battlefield. If the CPU doesn't card dump enough, or doesn't have spies, the decoys are kind of useless.

Re: The Witcher 3

I gather depending on your choices and path you ventured thru, you are able to complete the main quest. Plenty of bugs according to the Witcher forums, unfortunately. Then again I am on the PS4 forums there. Hope a patch comes out soon!

Aw, I had grown fond of that big, dumb galoot getting caught behind trees and fences.

Re: The Witcher 3

Uhhh...considering pausing my playthrough until the patch drops but I've just hit the most intense moment of the game -- so far, for me anyway -- and I don't have the self-control to keep myself away.

Also, I take back my initial evaluation of Lambert. After getting to know him better and hearing Geralt banter with the guy, I share his (Geralt's) feelings toward Lambert.

"Hey Lambert, wanna hear a limerick?"
"Sure!"
"Lambert, Lambert..what a prick!"

I normally don't play through games a second time, but I really think I might with this one.

LOL, every time I came up on an enemy that was too high a level I would have "RUN AWAY - RUN AWAY" in my head.

And it always starts out I can take him. Then you proceed to get hit one time, health bar drop below 10% and you run away with your tail between your legs. Lol. That or you hit them only for them to feel no pain and then run.
