This is awesome! I think I must give it another chance. I stopped at the episode that was based on The Dancing Men, sadly.

 

On the off-chance (or rather, certainty) of this turning into an unfair rant, since I am just as biased with the 1980s Granada show; I never quite got into the BBC one - because I hate that modern Sherlock adaptions can never resist the urge to "Monk"-ify him.

 

Holmes is a gentleman, a man of the world & science likewise, and very adapt of elegantly moving through social circles. Eccentric and very selective in his employment of social ettiquette maybe; but if he behaves in such a dismissive fashion, he is aware of it (King of Bohemia being a bastard for example) and otherwise understands its necessity. For certain however, I think of him not as a creepy, and very hostile basket case as he often struck me there.

I didn't finish either. My own fault.

 

Tried on the PS, did ya.

No ****. I just got bored and shut my console off.

Whoops. Sorry if I hit a nerve there.

 

Should join us PC grunts sometimes.

Yeeeah. Let's just say I know better MP games. DAMP is not that good.

 

But it's still fine. I just don't play it other than with DQ. Which was a long time ago last time. Timezones don't always match up.

 

I'm also on the PC, though.

 

I really just play it because it's DA. I know there are better MP games per se, but they don't take place in the DA world. Also I liked Isabela obviously; and Thornton & Neria in The Masked Empire, so I think it's cool they made it into the game.

 

I had this idea of maybe the team could take inspiration from Fable 2 & 3 for the implementation of a co-op multiplayer with your actual story character; as in the host player provides his game state & companions, and the client joins as an individual with his main character only. Given I am set for life with playing an influential political figure, I think the game could be written in a way to have this make sense.

 

P.S.: Sadly, I didn't manage to finish this weekend's challenge either. I wasn't here all weekend, and Sunday night only lasted for so long.

I'd forgotten how much I really hate the NPCs in TW3. Efftards. The lot of them.

 

-Geralt investigates

-Stupid b*tch NPC approaches him and tries to bribe him to stop investigating

-Geralt (I) says no, sorry, can't leave a job unfinished

-NPC calls Geralt a heartless ****** (in the context of, it's true what they say that all witchers are heartless beasts)

-Later in investigation Geralt finds out that the NPC got her sister killed (relating to investigation)

 

I'd go into more detail but I don't wanna spoiler anybody.

It only hit a nerve because it was a stupid question. I don't react well to stupid questions.

You're czech right? Then we live in the same timezone. My Origin ID is also youaremiles, if you're up for it I'd love to rock some future weekend challenges with you!

I have to admit I never cared much about the whole Sherlock Holmes universe while growing up. So a few years ago I watched the first episode of the BBC series and I was utterly hooked up, I don't think theres a single episode of another series that I watched more often than 'A Study In Pink'. 

Then I found out about the Granada Holmes series, bought the whole series on DVD and I loved it even more. 'The Lone Cyclist' is also one of my favourite episodes ever. A friend of mine bought me the books and another friend always mocks me if I'm not in the mood to go drink on the weekend, he goes like 'Ah, you have to watch Sherlock Holmes alone or what?'. Gaaahhhh! 

I'm thankful for BBC though, the character of John Watson turned into my most beloved fictional person. Love David Burke's John, love Martin Freeman's John.

Wait, Thornton and Neria are in the Masked Empire? It hasn't been that long since I last reread it.

[Roamingmachine]

I see the Donk summoning was a success. Didn't even get to the proper blood magic part 

 

 

 

Edit: And yes, everyone in Velen is a raging douchebag and Novigrad is even worse. Thank the gods there is always Skellige

Heh. Turns out stupid questions are maybe NOT a part of my charm.

Did you ever come across that elf chick in Novigrad? From what I remember, you rescue her from bandits or something and she says, "What, just cause you rescued me you think I'm gonna drop my panties and spread my legs for you?" I LMAO'd.

[Serza]

Guten tag! *exhausts his knowledge of German*

[MilesUpShore]

Of course the only Czech word I know is... pivo. Or was it piwo? Pivo in your country and piwo in Poland? A wise man taught me this once.

Oh, i did. Don't remember that part of the dialogue but i do remember the 'thanks' i got for saving her from a beating/rape

PIVOOOO!

 

I don't think there is one word that actually originates in Czech that uses W. It's all V around here. I live... fairly close... to the Polish border, but I still think Slovakia is closer.

The Netherlands are a one houre drive from where I live, never even been close to Czech. I've been to Lepizig though, I do think that's near-ish towards Czech? Argh, what do I kno! 

[Dieb]

Sorry, Thornton is. Neria is in HoDA.

[Donk]

I keep hearing bad things about the Masked Empire. I am two and a bit books away from reading it.

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

Sorry, Thornton is. Neria is in HoDA.

Thornton is? I swear he's not.

[Dieb]

Thornton is? I swear he's not.

 

Yeah, he's an Orlesian ranger with Celene's Chevaliers. The whole "man tripped into his own sword" apparently is a reference to that.

 

Honestly I didn't realize it was supposed to be him until I read it on the wiki and Sheryl Chee confirmed it on twitter to someone else.
