Apparently if you are too overbearing over the course of the game, after the final mission you hunt down the last Crone for Ciri's medallion, Geralt mentions she's dead, and the ending movie says something like Ciri disappeared and was never heard from again. I got the witcher ending, it seemed so much more satisfying than the one I saw on YouTube where she just leaves to join the Nilfgaardians.

The bad ending is if you're a bad dad; basically, don't encourage her, don't give her any independence, meet with the emperor and accept his money like the loving piece of poo poo you are, you deserve the death glare she gives you, you loving monster.

I'm glad that my genuine reaction (and not just me picking the "correct" choice because I obviously knew it was that) was to tell the Emperor to shove his money up his rear end. I didn't need his coin to motivate me in the first place.

It seemed obvious from the beginning that the Emperor and Nilfgaard were dickheads and it felt right to basically tell the emperor to gently caress off every chance I got, starting with not curtsying to him at the very beginning.

MMF Freeway posted:Yes, although I never replaced the Iris since its special effect is cool and it still holds up just fine through B&W. Cool. And yea, it looks awesome, love that Cossack style. I wouldn't mind replacing the Viper armor, as it looks just like the basic armor, but with a different skin. I felt that Empress Ciri was the best choice. It was obvious being raised by Geralt and Yenn clearly gave Ciri a love of common people that other leaders would lack. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Nov 29, 2016 |

How much does the emperor give you btw? I couldn't let down Ciri, but drat does collecting all sets of witcher armor/swords get expensive...

I played the game without really reading anything about it--I didn't realize how many possible outcomes there were. I just did whatever felt like the right choice, and the Witcher ending seemed like the right ending for me. Djikstra and Radovid both sucked, Yennifer seemed like the most natural fit for Geralt (though I was trying to get in the Scottish princess's pants too), gently caress that tree monster thing, and Ciri clearly was the young Witcher the world needed. A truly great game that a minor difference in how drunk I was at the time I made those decisions would have totally different but no less interesting and impactful results.

Oh yeah. 2k was half of it. The economy is weird with price disparities between food and beer vs custom made weaponry and armor vs magic items which are all over the place vs haircuts and hookers, with 4000 being something you can retire off of. That's only enough for 200 Hookers!

Geralt is a weird and unemotional turd for a lot of reasons and that can make some conversations really unrewarding, but that's just his character I guess. It's strange to me that there would even be an option to let Whoreson live within the context of Geralts character, though.

Nothing is funnier to me than the one Nilfgaard general guy who somehow thinks Geralt thinks he's really cool and his best friend. Like he keeps showing up and he's always like "oh hey buddy! How's it going, wanna know some sweet exposition about the war effort?" "I don't know you dude" "Yeah it's going great, everything is great, aren't we great friends?

I actually really like Morvran Voorhis for this reason. He acts naive, but he's also a lot smarter than he lets on. If you take Ciri to see Emhyr, he and Geralt have a conversation outside where he elaborates on the important political movements happening back in Nilfgaard. He plays the fool so well because a lot of his reactions are genuine, but he's also got deep pockets with the merchant guilds. It's really no wonder he canonically becomes Emhyr's successor as the next Emperor.

If you haven't seen it, you should at least see youtube the conversation where Geralt doesn't kill him, because it's also pretty great and totally in line with Geralt's character. edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLSugeCp4Mg Here it is. As always, beware of spoilers in the recommended videos.

Even odder is that the Polygon article that accused the game of sexism doesn't even mention the scene. Like how can you be upset about Ciri's outfit and then completely miss out on the invisibility of violence towards sex workers?

To be fair a lot of the choices, eapecially the ones that don't have the timer going down, don't seem like they'd affect that much. But it's the Witcher 3 so they do and you need to think about your actions!!

Vlodomir possessing Geralt is great because the devs basically made a long quest making fun of how grumpy their main protagonist is in contrast. Also that dancing. HoS pro-tip #1 often repeated itt: when you get to the wedding the first thing you should do is lose to the halflings playing Gwent. You won't get anything for winning but the reward for losing adds a lot to the quest. HoS pro-tip (or not?) #2: when there's an option to gift something to Shani choose wine instead of other things. Something unheard-of in AAA gaming will happen thanks to this.
