In my ending....Spoilers, duh.

 

 

Ciri became emperess, Geralt and Yen lived in a nice cabin having what I assume is mind-blowing sex for the rest of their days, or until The Witcher 4 happens,  Temeria is a thing again and Skellige has a badass queen. Also, I second Meg's headcannon.

[MegWithAMouth]

Oh yeah! (More spoilers.) Cerys became the queen in my playthrough too. I love that whole family though and I'm kind of curious how things turn out with her brother in charge instead.

[redBadger14]

Hjalmar apparently leads raids against Nilfgaard's navy and is somewhat successful.

Also I got both endings you guys got. Ditto for Yen too.

I went with Ciri as the witcher and Geralt still on the path but living in Kovir with Triss.  I have to admit, Yen wore thin on me quickly with the attitude towards Geralt.  It just never seemed a healthy relationship to me. Still, wish Shanni could have made it from the first game

 

 

I still wish we got to play more as Ciri since her and the Wild Hunt were the most important aspect of the game.  At times, I felt a bit detached playing as Geralt and not seeing much of the Wild Hunt.

I can get where you're coming from, but it felt a lot more compelling to me to be this father figure looking for his daughter who he clearly cares a lot about. I had so many feels watching Geralt every time he learned something new about her whereabouts and even more so when they were reunited and had those little moments together. Plus, I liked unraveling her story gradually as you went along.

As for Yennifer, she could be a little controlling and harsh, but I feel like a lot of that stems from her having to be that way to survive in the past. She's blunt and doesn't sugarcoat things or baby Geralt. She's secure and independent enough to want Geralt without needing him at her side all of the time. She's also not a damsel in distress who needs Geralt to save her. She doesn't *need* him, but she chooses him. Plus, Geralt has been doing her best friend for a while so she was clearly hurt. Maybe he didn't have his memory at the time, but if you were in her position, you would probably be at least a little bitter about it. And that same point is why I find it hard to like Triss. She KNEW Geralt and Yenn had been together for years and years and had this almost adoptive child together in Ciri and yet she still manipulated the situation to be with him. I have no doubt that her feelings for him were real, but it's still f*cked up to do that to your two best friends no matter how you put it. Plus, despite what happens (happened) Yen forgives Triss and remains friends with her. I don't know about you, but I definitely couldn't do that, so Yen clearly isn't the stone cold b*tch she wants outsiders to think she is.

I think if you read the books, or at least a few of the stories involving Yen, you'd see her in a much different light. I know I'm going overboard defending a fictional character, but I have a lot of feels and I think Yen gets a bad rap. Just my 200 cents.

So....nobody is gonna say this?

 

*Sigh* Fine. I'll do it.

 

Yennefer reminds me of Miranda. And I'm totally okay with that.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go stare wistfully at my copy of ME 2.

 

Side note, I bought The Last Wish and the Blood of Elves. The Witching never ends.

[Kabraxal]

One thing.... More scenes like drinking with the other witchers! That was tge best scene in the game

Holy crap. I honestly never made the connection until you said that.

And I think you'll like the books. they're a pretty easy and entertaining read. I haven't read BoE yet. Only The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny so you'll have to let me know how it is.

@Kab: The Witchers getting drunk and putting on Yen's (Triss'?) clothes was pretty hilarious. I also liked the play Geralt had to perform in and some of Dandelion's quests. There was quite a bit of humor sprinkled throughout the game, I thought.

[redBadger14]

Omg that parallel is very accurate actually. Never really thought of that. But yeah I pretty much agree with everything Meg said. It's why I went with Yen and honestly Yen is seen as a mother to Ciri, it felt wrong to be with Triss no matter how I tried to slice it.

On that point I think they handled Geralt meeting Triss in Novigrad for the first time very well. It's clear Triss is remorseful for taking advantage of Geralt during his episode of amnesia and hurting Yen and she acts distant to Geralt during their whole initial interactions.

So...Windows 10 is pretty cool.

 

*Goes back to streaming DA:I from his XB1 to his PC*

[redBadger14]

Lol yeah Windows 10 is leagues and miles better than Windows 8.

[Kabraxal]

So the present day story is finally coming back in Syndicate... hopefully this helps tighten the series back up.  I still enjoy the gameplay, but there story and tropes have been frustrating lately.  Who knows though, maybe this will be the AC2 reborn in that it breathes so much life into the series again (though I think a few years of a break wouldn't hurt anything).

 

Also, DA:I gets better every time I play it.  Came back after the TW3 and I've done almost everything I can so far, at 100 hours, and still so many hours left.  Hope for some news about another SP story DLC... I need more DA:I (well, not really but I want it.  WANT).

[Guardian295]

Well I just realised that I haven't stopped in here for a while, been too court up playing Arkham Knight and Witcher 3 (still) so figured I'd pop in and say hi.

 

Hi *waves*

[Kabraxal]

It's the Aussie!  GRAB HIM!

[MegWithAMouth]

New DAI DLC called The Descent! And it looks a lot better than the Jaws of Hakkon or whatever it was called. Yay for Darkspawn!

It does look gooooood. And I loved the Jaws of Hakkon DLC for the lore and Avarr.  Though, I just finished a 150 playthrough and started up what will be a failed nightmare attempt.... but I guess monday I know what I'm doing!  I love Dragon Age.

[AccursedOdin]

Kab, just be a mage. You'll win.

 

Also, Dark Souls 3. HRRRRRNNNG!!!!

It was that or a rogue with that brutal special... I went mage, but I have to level first to get the good stuff

[MegWithAMouth]

Quantum Break finally has a release date! They managed to get some really talented actors on board too which, honestly, kind of surprises me. I was half-expecting this game to be a sh*t show. I guess it still could be, but I'm holding onto hope that it won't be.

Also, the new Mafia game came out of nowhere, but it looks good so far.

[redBadger14]

Everything out of Gamescom looks awesome, can't wait. And the Deadpool trailer!!!!! Omg. You must be excited Meg lol

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the footage we've seen, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed. The fact that they called out Fox for sewing Deadpool's mouth shut in Wolverine really makes me want to believe in it though.

[Kabraxal]

Just in case, though I think we all played and beat Inquistion..... SPOILERS!

 

 

 

 

 

Playing Nightmare in DA:I (I'm addicted...) and to pass the time as I die repeatedly, my brain started wondering about some things, most notably Sera's ties to Andruil (interesting and would explain a lot), Solas' comment about the blight and arch demons (scary given what he probably is), and then the title of the franchise itself...... and that last one ended up taking me down a winding path that ended up wondering if the dragons return is either part of the 10 years of chaos suddenly happening, a herald of the return of the old magic, or actually the whole damn cause of the mess happening in Thedas.  I mean, we started with one non-divine/taint related dragon and now have 10 as the world seems to get more and more insane.  

 

Bioware really seems to be playing a long game with the slow burn reveals and pieces of hte puzzle only being teased at over time.

I had the same thought about the dragons on my first play through. I started The Descent DLC last night and I only played for an hour, but lots of Darkspawn already and it seems might it have more lore/world building in it, like the last DLC in DA2 did with Corypheus. Then again, I could be totally wrong.

[MegWithAMouth]

Finished The Descent. I won't spoil anything, but I didn't love it. It was alright. There was a reveal of something that might be important in the future, which was cool, but I don't feel like the DLC should be $15. It only took me two or three hours to complete. And that's with most of the side stuff, which there wasn't a lot of. The thing that disappointed me most though was the fact that even though you were able to bring 3 companions along, I think they each only said about 4 lines the whole time and they were very shoehorned in. I totally get that it's probably quite expensive to get all of those actors back to record and it's also probably hard to schedule them all in, but with them just being silent companions, it just isn't as interesting. At least not to me. I would prefer to have just one or two larger DLCs that included all the companions as part of the adventure as opposed to a bunch of shorter ones where they don't contribute much of anything. I had really hoped Bioware would have realized the companions were so key to the story after The Citadel DLC was received so much better by their fans, but I guess not.

[redBadger14]

Well I guess some things are going to be hit or miss. It's too bad The Descent was disappointing. I'm hoping they can get to work on a Awakening sized expansion.

Oh and I finally kicked my lazy ass and beat Bloodborne. The Gerhman fight was so intense, and the music was the best.
