Might as well share the back too.

This is what i see when running around now:

 

 

 

Stay strong!

 

I mean give in, give in to this awesomeness.

BioWare is actually tempting me to get a item pack DLC...and its for the most shallow of reasons.  

 

Though I think I bought the ME 3 pack that contained the Harrier because the Harrier is frickin awesome.  

 

How are you getting on with TW3?

*ahem*

 

I am loving the game a lot....but....well no I am loving the game a lot but it is starting to become my crack cocaine fix while DA is my meat and potatoes. Now this is a HORRIBLE metaphor and I am trying to come up with a better one but the combat is so visceral and just so....you have to put your emotions into it because it is so intense and and you have to pay attention and mashing on buttons and trying to escape certain death.  So its something to relieve stress and is not very *deep* yet.  Now I imagine the story does get deep and the world/ lore of the side quests and the areas I have been to (Velen and White Orchard) are Deep but I do not play it for the emotional connection with the characters, the world, or the lore, and I do not play it to think about deep philosophical issues.  That is what DA is for...as of right now.  Plus I am on a really horrible quest in DA I right now that I am dreading so...since it was an interesting day/ night at work...I am putting off DA I for at least another day.  

 

That being said I am dying a LOT and am starting to get frustrated with it, might have to turn the difficulty down, and there are a lot of annoying oddities about the game that are driving me up the wall.  The most awkward being that you don't have 'quest pointers' when in the world map pointing you to where your next quest is.  its made it so I have stopped fast traveling almost entirely.  

 

BUT Gwent is awesome.  I love the music, the characters are descent, the role play aspects are...very meh so far.  But...it could be on the cusp of a Tier 1 game it just needs to have its IYHSB moment.

You and I both I wasn't gonna buy any of these DLCs, personally thought they were a waste of money. I blame StormQueen for this!!

 

Hate to butt into your W3 conversation but it is actually well worth getting into the lore and considering the philosophical aspects. It's very intriguing to say the least. Lore-wise I put it on par with DA.

[Ashaantha]

Do not blame me! blame my inability to not buy things I see one pic of and want..

It helps that I stick it on my favourite Inquisitor. Kyrrah looks great in it.

I think she brought my sex drive back

[Ashaantha]

 

anyway...

winter wonderland place wearing almost nothing! Go Kyrrah! I feel cold just looking at her and all that snow.

 

 

 

Ok, that's it until I drink from Mythal's Well.

There is a quest marker.  If you press, I think L3 or R3 it will zero you in to where you need to go, then you can just travel to the nearest signpost.

 

This is not a DAI/W3 comparison post.

 

Spoiler

See I've said this before, but I'm a terrible role-player and I'm enjoying Geralt's journey immensely.  Plus it doesn't hurt that 20/20 would bang    I haven't had the problem you've had with White Orchard, I mean even the smallest village is brilliantly done.  The day and night cycle/weather is awesome and Novigrad is just jaw-dropping.  Combat is my favourite thing, if I'm properly prepared I can take a monster down at 10 levels above me and get a feeling of real satisfaction from a long fight.  I'm not missing my DA companions because due to a bug we ran around in an awkward silence for most of the time in any case.  Also as Hawke I felt much closer to my friends in DA2 - I actually would not have minded playing Hawke as Inquisitor.  Sorry, a bit of a rambling post.

Would like a million times if I could.

 

Role-playing as your own character is kinda impossible for TW3, though you can do a little.. depending on choices you make in dialogue and quests. You can be a downright arsehole or a nice Witcher, for instance. So while you are playing as Geralt, you can choose his moral compass, at least.

 

I also wanna touch on the "20/20 would bang" statement. This pleases me because I am sick of the comparison argument from both sides. From the DAI fandom side some people ****** about misogyny and sexual objectification toward women, etc. Now, I'm a lesbian and I can tell Geralt is a good looking bloke. Add to that there are scenes where you can see him without his shirt, fresh out of a bath tub slick with water. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that sexualising?

 

So while women may not like being forced into a man role they can enjoy the view, so to speak. I won't go into the political crap any more, though. After a certain thread that got locked before my head is ready to explode

I know.  And I can have hints of how deep and amazing the world is.  And I am really getting into it till now I am making common references to Novigrad and Oxenfurt like I have been playing the games for YEARS.  But that is not why I pay the game.  At least not yet...at least not today.  Today, it will be to blow off steam.  Slice and dice, hack-n-slash.

Cassandra: Alright guys, we need to keep spreading the word of the Herald of Andraste, people's belief is starting to waiver, and with their belief, their hope!

Leliana:  We could go send her to the alienage to speak out on mage rights.  

Josie:  We could send her on a tour of all the noble castles in all of Thedas.  

Cullen:  We can dress her in really skimpy armor and then have the slogan 'the Herald of Andraste, bringing sexy back to the Chantry.'

Lel: o.O

Josie: *facepalm*]

Cassandra: (Disgusted noise)

Culen: What?

oh thanks for that will have to go try it out.  

 

And yes I love the day night cycle too that and the 'Roach' is the two things that Witcher 3 is blowing DA I out of the water on.  

 

And as far the role play is concerned....I get it.  But still even with it being a pretty set character I find it limiting at times.  And frustrating.

I love both games.  I think they are both fine staples in RPGdom.  Whether Witcher 3 ends up being Tier 1 or not will probably have a lot to do with how well I can learn the combat and the ending, I feel.  And maybe a few other things.

Other comment on the Witcher.  I do appreciate all cutscens all the time.  It is so refreshing, and I had no idea how immersive it was...well it is but it dosen't...but nothing immerses one in the world like a good cutscene.  DA I's third person camera was a very nice idea and I was all for it, but it didn't end up working out.

I think you will enjoy your experience. One thing though.. I found the final boss to be a little unsatisfying. I had the same problem with Corypheus though, so it isn't a huge deal.

I still need to make that thread I wanna make on Corypheus gushing about how awesome he was yet at the same time HOW BADLY HE SUCKED.  

[Donk]

-Snippety snip snip-

 

[Al Foley]

Anyways off to Velen, bb in like an hour or so to write DA fan fic and have drinks and probably gush more about the Witcher.  I am so glad I like this game. Thought I would but I was pretty hesitant.  

[Donk]

I reckon.

 

This scenario would have been better: The elder one's identity is kept secret until the very end. The Inquisition devotes its time and efforts uncovering elder one's true identity. Some time after the events of Mythal (defeating Samson/Calpernia who at that point is the perceived antagonist) You drink from the well of sorrows, Flemeth speaks in riddles and gives you a dragon, and Skyhold is attacked by none other than...... Solas!

 

Due to other factors the scenario wouldn't work but you get the idea imagine the shitstorm!! Especially for a female elf who romanced him.

People like different games for very different reasons and all of them valid.  Look at Minecraft, now I've never played it but I have friends who love it and it's never gonna get rated on it's graphics

Sometimes it is not the destination but the journey that proves the most rewarding 

 

Well sh*t.  I've got to go and finish poodle off.  Should get him up today ..... 

[Ashaantha]

Yes Cullen is romancing Kyrrah, I'm almost up to where they finally fight together.

The reflection makes it seem like she does this "biting her lip" thing, the single most seductive move a woman is blessed with.

 

However, the background also urges me to at least hang my coat around her shoulders.

 

And take her some place more cozy.

 

And further put my manners to test there.

 

And completely ruin the mood with the realization that she could be Kel's daughter.
