Accordion Man posted:I found it pretty understandable that Yen was being bitchy to people like Ermion and doing questionable poo poo like necromancy because her adopted daughter is potentially dead or kidnapped by dimension-hopping elves out of a heavy metal album cover and she is rightly stressed out over it. I never read the books but everyone you meet in the game make it clear that Yen is a total bitch and that she would be doing this kind of poo poo if it was her favourite pajamas that were lost instead of Ciri. Keira's quote to Geralt is especially hilarious with regards to this.

i feel like i must have missed all the good contract missions they were all piss easy at recommended level against unremarkable creatures. i had hopes for the skellege dragon one but lo and behold its not a dragon can you guys post your favorite contracts or the contracts with the biggest baddest monsters so i can shake the feeling that contracts are a waste of time?

l33t b4c0n posted:I fell squarely into the camp of liking Triss more, until earlier in this thread someone pointed out this exact plot point. EVERYTHING Triss does is actually super manipulative, but it's so subtle that it feels like genuine affection. It REALLY changed my perspective of Triss. Someone earlier pointed out that in The Witcher 2, the Rose of Remembrance is used by Philippa to control Saskia. Triss was given a rose by Geralt - what exactly did she plan to do with it? Yeah, but at least it turns a character whose primary motivation is I LOVE GERALT SO MUCH into someone that feels way more human than the normal hot female love interest. And I'd say it's not subtle at all.

Geralt and Yen are a glorious trainwreck together. They have the kind of relationship you can't help but watch explode beautifully like Othello and Desdemona or Sam and Diane, except Geralt and Yen actually get a happy ending after going through decades of poo poo, instead of a flash in the pan followed by tragedy.

So uh, where is Yen post-game? I just finished the game after 170 hours, got the happy Yen ending with Ciri taking the throne. With the whole "lets live in a hut somewhere" thing I was surprised to respawn in the empty Kaer Morhen.

She only wants to cure the plague to get back on Radovid's good side, but Geralt convinces her it wont work cause he hates all magic users, so she doesn't even bother.

I was duped and let the Pesta kill the dude, never got a follow up to it like a Witcher contract for a rouge Pesta or anything like that. I suspect you can actually kill her in the tower so they didn't bother putting in a follow up mission when you can kill her already. I didn't bother though cause my last manual save was hours before and didn't want to replay poo poo that far back.

Neat little thing I discovered while doing the Wolf School treasure hunts: Keira is still in Kaer Morhen, in an unreachable area by the castle, you can see her on the map listed as a herbalist and if you can hop on the right walls to reach her, you can talk to her and buy stuff from her, but that will leave you trapped as the spot she's in is surrounded by cliffs. Her conversation options are exactly the same as when she was in the hut you first find her in... excepting the final option where you can ask why she and Lambert hooked up. Seems like a glitch of some kind.

In hindsight of my first run, the pesta was obvious when she slipped up "watching at the town from shore" after claiming her spirit was imprisoned in the tower. Better to have Romeo die for his Juliet than Juliet kill Romeo and his neighbours. At least Annabelle takes apperance of Annabelle to make it easier on the poor guy.

Thanks to people giving tips on solving Hard Times. Meditating for an hour allowed me to talk to the blacksmith. The Main Quest in Skellige was really short. You get caught up in all sorts of side quest, of course, but still. I like how all three Main Quests (in Act 1 I guess?) can be done in any order, and tie into one another, yet you can't get the whole picture without doing all of them.

That may be true but the game certainly doesn't tell you that and heavily implies you should go Velen-Novigrad-Skellige.

radiatinglines posted:Yes, I am and always have been aware that we are arguing about dialogue options in a video game. If you read the thread you'll see several posters saying that anyone who doesn't like Yen in the game must have some kind of "complex" or "hangups" in real life, that is what I was responding to. In other words, they started it. For what it's worth I was mostly referring to people way earlier in the thread who were reading way too much into people who picked Yen and seriously projecting. Then the next couple of pages happened and those were pretty great and hilarious. And I gave a pretty good reason for picking Yen that had nothing to do with my own personal tastes or living vicariously through Geralt. (I've got a thing for redheads irl)

I mean part of the reason why Yen and Geralt are the more entertaining couple is because there's seriously not enough Triss content in comparison so the deck was stacked against her but that's out of our hands.

Quick witcher universe lore question. Are Succubus inherently evil in any way? I don't remember if we ran into one in W1 but the ones in Kings and Wild Hunt seem to be like benign for the most part. They just seem to lure men, seduce them, and basically trade "energy" for mind blowing sex. It also appears they don't kill unless they have to as they like to build a stable client base. Is there anything in the books to suggest that Geralt should actually just kill all succubus he meets or is the letting them go options that are presented in the game the non dick choice for Geralt?

I thought Yennifer only teleports you if you dump her and are banging Triss. Which is perfectly in character for her because she doesn't react well in the books when she doesn't get her way.
