Yes yes I get all that. Still that's the reason why I cant play the series. But I've read that you can play Ciri for a while and I just want to know if that part is actually good. That might motivate me enough to play the game.

 

Ciri is quite frankly overpowered, but not in a bad way. Not because of faulty game mechanics either, like the Knight Enchanter, but because she is powerful in the lore. Elder Blood, prophecies and everything.

 

She takes less damage than Geralt in a fight, she can blink and teleport around with little to no cooldowns and her sword strikes are much faster. However, she cannot cast Signs because she did not undergo The Trials all the way. 

 

You could let your boyfriend play as Geralt and make deal with him to let you play as Ciri for the same playthrough. That way, both of you get to be together to play the same game in a same playthrough and have fun. Win-win for everyone.

I believe Xetykins wants to know if you can play Ciri for any appreciable length of time. Like, more than two hours in a 60-hour running time.

Nope. & this game runs longer than 60 hours. Its larger than Skyrim. & that is one playthrough. There a lots of different choices you can make. & then there will be mods.

Yes this, thank you.

Nevermind.

I suspect the reason you haven't got an answer yet is because people are not far enough in the game to know.

I'm know I'm not .

Can anyone tell me what playing a female character is like in TW3? How long do you get to play her? Is it a short boring throw away filler or a long and interesting one?

 

Around 15 minutes overall. You play her in a flashback.

 

There may be other occurences when you get to play her, but I have to express doubt that they'll be long or more significant.

Funny that they mentioned  Ferelden rather than Thedas, but i agree with them, the land that was better filled with interesting quests and content is Ferelden,the land who  forged the Franchise.

Orlais and Kirkwall not so much.

Another thing that DA could benefit from that is in the TW3 is background. The background npcs can add alot to an atmosphere and ambient dialogue. In the village there was a kid singing a song mocking the emperor of Nilfgaraad and his father asked him where he heard that and got onto him. There is also people crying in the baackground due to what they have lost to the war. I have seen signs warning of helping bandits. Also, Geralt will make little comments about things. Like the wind is starting to blow harder or about finding a ghoul nest and he should destroy it. These are small details but they really do add alot. Also if you bump into an npcs they will tell you"watch where your going,freak! "There is also children running around playing, elderly people.

Also if you talk to a villager with a mouse click instead of E, Geralt motions with his fist like he wants to punch them and they all run away. You can do it to almost everyone apart from kids and it's good for dispersing a crowd of peasants in your way.

(I discovered this by accident because I was used to DA's style of talk with the said mouse click. Was wondering why everyone kept scurrying away from me, haha)

 

Little things like this make me appreciate the game even more.

I was hoping for an hr at least seeing that its such a huge game. But thank you :-)

I've played as Ciri for at least 15 minutes and i'm nowhere near the end of the game, i'm still in what people are calling act 1. 15 minutes is definitely not accurate for the full game . Unless you're absolutely racing through I guess.

[hoechlbear]

This. Even the mundane has consequences, too. I was in village and did something completely random never thinking it would have any consequences whatsoever. Later on, I go do a main mission and the random little thing I did has everyone running scared of me and now I have to go and find another way to do the mission because of it. I love that.

 

In the gameplay video I watched, the person playing it was randomly looting everything and then he decided to loot some soldiers' equipment or whatever it was and they attacked him. lol The player was like "apparently you're not supposed to do that" and it kind of reminded me of Skyrim and how the NPCs are really aware of you, something that doesn't happen at all in DAI, which is really sad because it feels like DAI took all the wrong things from Skyrim and not the good things that make that game actually fun. At least for me. Then he unintentionally drew his weapon near the soldiers and they started to get upset and ready to fight. It's really amazing how aware they are of you.

I'm still frolicking in the prologue area and can't confirm it from personal experience, but CDPR said Ciri's content is about 5-6 hours. Creating a second PC with her own animations and stuff  just for 15 minutes would be really strange decision.

 

I enjoy the game so far. Side quests are very well done and implemented in the area. For example, in Devil at the Well not only you conduct your little investigation and prepare properly to fight the creature, you also can find out the woman's backstory which connects to some people in the village.

I like that Temerians also have different reactions to Nilfguaardian invasion (from collaboration to joining the resistance) and there is no right answer to this situation. Cutscenes help a lot. I especially remembered the old man in the inn, his pain and helplessness.

Horse is actually usefull. She is fast, you can fight on her back, and she has a name!

[Dutchess]

I like the fact that you take into consideration certain degree of objective quality. 

 

All I am saying is that there is good writing and bad writing. This is not an opinion. This is basic, seriously. Bioware is an example of good quality writing and this is not something you can deny. You might dislike their games or certain characters or plots but that's all there is to it. It's not meant to be insulting or disrespectful towards anyone. The Witcher games, on the other hand, have many good qualities (art direction, design....) but writing is NOT their strongest point.

 

I didn't know that plotholes, inconsistencies and plain, convoluted plot could be called objectively good writing. Bioware's "politics" in DA2 boiled down to every faction being crazy and/or stupid. Compare that to the conflict that plays out in TW2, with many more parties participating and a great number of factors coming into play, and it's downright laughable if you dare to call Bioware's writing superior or even good.

Bioware can write good companion characters and it seems about the only strength they have left.

I mostly agree, though I think Bioware is still capable of writing Good plots (The genophage arc in ME3, for example). Though they're surely not good at political plots so far.

I heard that you get to control her a little bit more later, but not sure about that. I think a very tiny number of people have beaten the game yet.

I actually have yet to hear him to explain why he thinks DA's writing is superior apart from the usual stubborn "I am right, you are wrong".

Alas, but when discussing with someone who has such arguing "skills", I guess having the last word on the matter will have to do.

They can have decent or even good moments, though I was leaving ME out of it because the setting is very different (and using ME3 in a debate about writing quality is unlikely to end well... ). But I can't recall Bioware's writing ever displaying the depth, complexity and logic found in TW2 and - hopefully - TW3 (haven't had much time to play it yet, but the first impression is very positive). Doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed some of Bioware's writing. Again, they can have their moments. But CDPR is doing a good job of outshining them.

The official Dragon Age facebook group deleted every negative post about DA:I for months after it came out. Including posts about bugs and things like that. I wouldn't put EA on too high a pedestal just yet.

I find it interesting that one would condone censorship when it involve negativity in any form. TW3 is fair grounds for comparison especially now that it has been released. It has very comparable elements that people are actually making feedback suggestions on instead of just saying "This is good!". I'm highly agitated that someone would just flat out say "this thread should be deleted" when he's made a lot of well made big replies to criticisms of DAI in the past. It's very lazy and rude when I know he could have done better with that reply.

It was about TW3 and the graphic downgrade debate or PC controls, though I am uncertain which forum; CDPR, I believe.

And I will take the DAO politics of Orzemmar over most political writings.

That is true -- Why wouldn't they delete the positive posts then regarding cool quests they found in the game?

 

That isn't a good question as it assumes they do have posts like that on the facebook thing. I don't use Facebook so often.

 

Should they also delete positive posts regarding cool quests they found in the game?

[animedreamer]

Sorry wrong thread

[TheOgre]

So if i didn't like the combat in Witcher 2, should i stay far away from Witcher 3?

 

I'd look at videos first honestly. To be safe I'd say don't get it. People said they improved the combat up from TW2 so it may be similar.
