I think they're going to raise the max level to 100 in NG+, so the scaling was probably tweaked a bit. 

 

I saw something about that on gamefaqs, but the link was in french, so I didn't pursue it. Figure it will all come out in time. It'd be great if they do, though. At the end of my vanilla and HoS playthrough, I'm 40, and I wouldn't rule out another 10 or more levels from B&W.

 

I'm really looking forward to starting a NG+ in earnest. I hope we'll be able to take the new mutations with us too (although it seems like they could be linked to a quest, so maybe not?). I just like the idea of starting a new playthrough feeling like the seasoned, accomplished fighter I know Geralt is supposed to be, and not the guy who's still buying level 1 potion recipes and looting rusty swords out of necessity.

As recall correctly, the baron found them on the way to elope with her lover and the baron's only daughter that he seems to greatly love JUST after he came back from war. With all that ugliness and to come home only to find that? I am not surprised he was seeing red. I dont think the abuse started before he she decided to go happy ever after with someone else.

Yes the barons wife is a scumbag and a cheater, that ran away with their only daughter. No argument there. However the baron himself answers this with murder. He murders her lover before her eyes and expects his wife to come back to him afterwards. When this understandably doesn't work out like that he violently subdues her and locks her into is castle for years to come. I would say nothing against the baron just taking his daughter back with him and. That would have been resonable. However he decides to steep much lower than his wife ever did instead.

 

 

Also, how can he kidnap his own wife and daughter? 

How does one kidnap ones own wife? Simple. By dragging her to your castle with force, against her will and then lock her up there against her will. Just because she is your wife, doesn't mean you can do whatever the hell you want to her, even against her explicit wishes.

 

 

He was trying mend things it seem and she just mentally and physically abuses him that in the end, she got what she gave. That she got it from the same person she did it to shouldn't matter because he's a he.

I think you fail to see the point. The Baron killed the man she really love before her eyes, he keeps her prisoner against her will and he most likely rapes her. That he tried to mend things while continuing to hold her prisoner means little. Her lashing out against him isn't her being abusive. That is just a normal human reaction to being held prisoner against your will by a murderer that killed a person you loved. And no, the fact that he is a he does indeed not matter in the sligthest. If the roles were reversed and his wife were the one to kill her husbands mistress and then lock him up in the castle against his will, she would be the more despicable one. But that isn't the case.

 

Never dish out what you can't take. As my dad always say.

Words of wisdom, even if I prefer the saying: "Don't kidnap people against their will and then expect them to love you."

This part worries me: 

PB: Hypothetically, if there was another game set in the Witcher universe, would you rather a create-your-own character sort of game like Skyrim or Dark Souls or another game with a fixed personality like Geralt.

 

Bury: I’d prefer a set character. The games we make are very much about the story and when you’re making your own character it’s very hard to get invested in the story. When you’re Geralt he already has a backstory, it’s not something you need to come up with. He has a history and a goal he’s heading towards. I find I’m never as invested in the story when it’s a character I’ve created.

 

Creating your own character was one of the main parts of Cyberpunk, so I hope Jamie's preference isn't shared by everyone at the studio and they don't make a set character for it. Luckily they say they don't know anything about Cyberpunk.

I'm kind of agree with him actually. Great character with well-defined backstory is much more important for storytelling than created one.

I'm going to avoid spoilers, but I should probably start playing again to be ready... But I just picked up Stellaris so... yeah.

Looks fantastic though. CDPR know how to set the bar high and exceed it anyway.

 

Dear lottery,

could I please send me the winning numbers for the next couple of weeks. Need enough cash to retire for like, ever. Real life and work getting in the way of gaming.

Thanking you in advance.

Leaked list of mutations...

 

http://forums.cdproj...l=1#post2237380

 

Spoiler

• Magische Sensibilität (Zeichen): Signs can hit critical. The chance and damage bonus depends on the sign intensity. If a enemy is killed after a sign hit critical, he explodes.
• Magieleiter (Kampf, Zeichen): The damage of our drawn sword will be added to our sign intensity.
• Durchdringende Kälte (Zeichen):Aard freezes enemies. Enemies, which are freezed and thrown on the ground at the same time, die immediately
• Adrenalinschub (Kampf, Zeichen): At the beginning of the battle, sword damage and sign intensity are increased by 30% for each enemy except the first one. It lasts 30 seconds. After that, both values are reduced by 15% for each enemy except the first one.
• Zweites Leben (Alchemie, Kampf, Zeichen): If your health drops to zero, it will be fully charged once every 3 minutes and Geralt becomes invulnerable for a short time.
• Blutbad (Kampf): Every deadly blow with a sword dismemebers an enemy or activates a finisher. Each melee hit increases the attack damage by 5% (maximum 250%) till the end of the fight. The bonus is lost if Geralt takes damage.
• Tödlicher Konter (Kampf): Sword hits do 25% more damage to monsters and enemies, who are immune to counter attacks. If an enemy has less than 25% life, a counter attack will trigger a finisher.
• Katzenaugen (Alchemie, Kampf): Crossbows do much more damage and have a 50% increased critical chance. Bolts pierce enemies and throw them on the ground or stun them. If an enemy with full health is hit, he looses 20% of his health.
• Metamorphose (Alchemie, Kampf, Zeichen):Critical hits activate a random decoction for two minutes, which doesn't increase Geralt's toxicity. No more than three decoctions can be activated with this mutation. Witcher senses increase Geralt's sight in the dark.
• Euphorie (Alchemie): Toxicity increases the sword damage and sign intensity up to a maximum of 110%.
• Giftiges Blut (Alchemie): Enemies who hit(melee) Geralt, will be poisoned. The damage depends on Geralt's current toxicity.
• Mutierte Haut (Kampf, Alchemie): Each adrenaline point reduces the damage from enemies by 15%.

 

If legit, these sound... very powerful. And lend credence to the whispers that this is gonna be one tough expac.

Take this one with a grain of salt:

If this stuff is true, then that old discredited leak wasn't too far off the mark at all.

 

And man, oh man - those UI changes sound wonderful.

Some of those sound awesome, definitely would impact the battles in interesting ways.

Some of them sound borderline broken, like the AP-DR one. But then they might be necessary if the difficulty jump is as intense as it was in HoS. I hadn't played in a while and I got torn apart by a group of Drowners by Brunwich (on DM).

 

Personally, the alchemy one that adds Cat effect to the witcher sense, combined with the removal of the fish eye effect, sounds wonderful. I hate Cat. I was so sick of burning through white honeys that I deleted the mastercrafted potion and just went back to using the basic one.

Looks like the added a new upgrade to the Witcher school armours, I'm guessing Grandmaster is now the highest tier.

[FKA_Servo]

Happy anniversary, folks.

Wow, a year already! I remember the day this thread popped up like it was yesterday. Time sure flies!

[Xetykins]

Dont worry Hanako, iirc cyberpunk world does not have a set protagonist, so i am pretty confident that it will have character creation. And considering that cdpr always tries to stay true to their materials, I am more than 100% confident it will

I know given the choice I prefer my own character. I find that more immersive and easier to role play a character when I control who my character is.

Whilst I think Witcher 3 is the better game, I've got more hours logged in PoE because of the options I have in who my character is.

 

I did some digging and found a character creator page for Cyberpunk 2020 - the pnp game. If CDPR are planning to follow the P'n'P game, I don't see how a fixed character could work.

Anyway here's a link which might give us an idea: http://homepage.ntlw...rpunk/cpgen.htm

Of course this is speculation until CDPR are ready to tell us exactly what they have in mind.

What a year! Thanks CDPR!

 

[Beama Beorhtost]

I have been reading this thread since its 'inception' and thought I should drop in and thank you guys for keeping it going. Without your positive comments and images I would have not given TW3 a chance. I am happy to say that I have fully 'converted' and have now 2 NG+ under my belt and looking forward to the B&W expansion. Thanks again guys

Yeah, CDPR's desire to stay true to the source material is one of the things that give me hope, especially since unlike the Witcher's creator the creator of Cyberpunk is directly working with them. He has waited years for the right company to come along to do this, so I doubt he would choose them if they weren't going to play to its strengths.
