Cory is a Scooby Doo villain, your whole purpose is to foil his plans in which you easily succeed at and in the end he's a miserable louse far weaker than his DA2 self. Observable.

I'd have to disagree on the Corypheus-is-a-Scooby-Doo-villain comparison since it does not match the most prominent points of the show formula I am familiar with:

 

1. Corypheus clearly is a supernatural adversary unlike Scooby Doo villains who typically employ the illusion of the supernatural to, say, make people believe they are a ghost to scare them off properties. 

 

2. Corypheus' identity and motives is also not hidden after his initial appearance unlike Scooby Doo villains whose identity and motivation are typically not revealed until the end.  

 

3. Corypheus does not say the line; "And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids!"

 

Additionally, whether or not a Scooby Doo villain was foiled often or easily was something that varied from episode to episode. 

[Domiel Angelus]

Haven't experienced any graphical glitches but have experienced a horribly done storyline in which the villain reminds me of your typical bad guy from Scooby Doo. Sorry but that's an observable fact.

 

No, that's not a fact at all, that's strictly yours and possibly others opinions. He doesn't remind me of Scooby Doo villains at all because I liked a lot of the Scooby Doo villains.

Meh, I'm not fond of Scooby Doo because it never caught my interest the way other shows did. It was something I watched because it happened to have a slot before the show I actually wanted to watch came on. To me, It was not bad but it was not interesting either.

False marketing was something DA:I did better than The Witcher 3.

. I expected resistance to my dalish elf or my qunari, or even my mage, because that's the reality of the DA world, as exposed in DAO and DA2, something beyond "oh, you're a qunari AND a mage? Well, ok then".  It particularly struck me when my elf was named inquisitor, and had several response options, among which "I'm doing this for the elves". I expected that statement to have repercussions in front of an audience and in an organisation comprised 90% of humans

This is because DAO and DAII took place in Thedas,as opposed to DAI who take place in Wonderland,everything is an high magic fantasy sparkling joke, with no substance.

[Grieving Natashina]

Really, Aren?

 

 

You may not have liked how it turned out, which is fine.  Still, like it or not, that was Thedas, not some sort of Wonderland.  This is almost as bad as when someone called Thedas a Utopia...

Now that was a solid dash of poison you just dished out.

To be honest, I don't recall too many instances in Origins either when your race mattered or was even mentioned. I guess the Dalish might've called you a shem? And maybe Alistair in the big speech at the end might've said something like "here's an elf/ a dwarf". Other than that? not much else.  I mean you could walk into Denerim as a Dalish elf and there were no "WTF is Dalish elf doing here?"  Or if you were a city elf, "why aren't you in the alienage".  I guess you can attribute that to being a grey warden. Then again you're the same grey wardens that are wanted in Ferelden and you can walk around Denerim with no problems.

[thevaleyard]

I sort of have to agree, DAI felt really sanitized compared to DAO/DA2. A lot of the bad stuff was locked away in the codex, it was always tell, don't show. There are exceptions, of course, like in the Exalted Plains where you come across burnt corpses of children. But that never really resonated with me as strongly as the kid in TW3 who was sobbing over his dead father, trying to call him back to life.

[Elhanan]

I continue to see posts and memes that I do not quite understand. While I poured myself into the Codex eventually for DA2 and discovered a trove of information concerning the mysteries of Kirkwall, The Fade, and other story related matters, I hardly touched the Codex in DAI other to check an occasional entry that caught my eye.

There are plenty of things to see in DAI, but apparently fewer cut-scenes and cinematics to place them in the face of the Players. I for one prefer it this way; am tired of the mini-films which become tedious over time; re-runs or reloads.

And while I have yet to se much of an Elvish campaign, the Dwarvish version had many differences between that session and the Human Noble which followed it.

Cartoon comparisons: see DA2 again; already debated.

Marketing: nothing new here either. Etc.

Sour grapes yields whine when pressed it appears....

You grey wardens don't carry a sign stating their professions, though. Your character's  wear the same armours anyone would wear.

Sabotage specialization i love it.

There's so many things that I think are wrong with DA:I, it would take me a novel-length essay to fully parse my disappointment and vitriol.  

 

But in TW3, you have to play as Geralt, who I find blander than even the silent, blank-faced Warden.  If TW3 allowed you to create your own protagonist, and the VO actually had more life than a dead fish, and also, if women were treated more than spank bank material, I would NEVER EVER stop playing it.  But, here we are.

[Dreadstruck]

Why do some people insist on making assumptions about something they clearly have no idea of or haven't even touched?

 

TW3 features some of the strongest female characters ever. And no, you can't plough most of them, contrary to what most people who haven't even played past TW1 (who are parroting the same, tired and outdaded ****) would led you believe.

[Countess Cutlass]

Or you could maybe play the game or at least watch some Let's plays before talking and making assumptions about something you have clearly no idea of.

 

I wish people would stop parroting that old TW1 sexist ****. TW3 features some of the strongest female characters ever.

 

Oh, I've played all 3 games (working my way slowly through TW3, due to lack of interest on my part).  I meant that I would re-play the games over and over again, like I do with other RPGs.  Thanks playing, though!

I reworded my original post because it was a bit too hostile, that I admit.

 

Still waiting for you to enlighten us about the supposed sexist treatment of women in The Witcher 3

TW3 has always been about a fixed protagonist. This is not your kind of game if you think it should have been the otherwise. I agree when people say that they prefer creating their own protagonist and using him throughout, because that is personal taste, but TW has always had a fixed one. I strongly disagree with your Spank bank material statement. This is totally false. 

[The Big Red One]

out of the entire character section in journal, you can sleep with exactly just 3 women (if you don't count the brothels). Yennefer, Triss and Keira Metz.

 

And even that is highly optional. You could go blue ball throughout the entire game if you wanted.

 

if *that* makes the game a "spank bank" then... wow.

 

also, Geralt is an established character with almost two decades of lore behind him. it's a well known fact that you'll be playing as him in the games. Whining that TW3 does not have CC is like buying a strawberry yoghurt and then whining there are... strawberries

Actually you can sleep with 5 women if I am not wrong, but that is, like you have said, your choice and optional. I have also seen this complaint on CDPR forums. It is very annoying.

You are right, I just remembered. I forgot Jutta and Cantarella. Jutta being the one who has to be bested in a hard swordfight first.

 

Still, it's pretty much just 5 women out of 150-200 named/plot female characters. TW1 was a far worse offender in this department.

[Xetykins]

And if you spank bank those women at the same time, you'll end up with no woman. I think its a very good mechanic.

Yeah, it's obviously my opinion only, and it's as valid as yours is, thanks.  I was explaining the reason, in my *personal opinion*, of why I wasn't into the The Witcher series.  No need to get pressed.  I respect that other people like Geralt and the series.

 

And...maybe spank bank was harsh, but I don't love the way that the game handles women, in general.  If you can't deal with differing opinions on TW3, then maybe work on realizing that other people have differing viewpoints and it's going to be okay, guys.

I personally don't have a problem if someone dislikes Geralt. If someone hasn't read the books, has a visible antipathy towards the "Clint Eastwood"-ish characters or overall just doesn't have any "connection" to him, then it's completely understandable.

 

I am just curious at what exactly did you find so distasteful about the treatment of women in TW3? My (personal) impression was that it was actually them who moved the plot, bossed Geralt around and were all around in the places of power and respect.

[MoonDrummer]

If women were treated more than spank bank material
