there are lots of spells

GAVELLA GLAN

it's just that only sorceress and mages use them

GAVELLA GLAN

witchers use signs because they spend most of their time swinging swords and jumping around and sensing things, and learning spells takes up GAVELLA GLAN loads of time. Even still, Gerald has alternate signs that are basically extra spells, so there's 10

I read some articles which suggested that Witcher 3, like Witcher 2 and 1, has the issue where bombs, traps and alchemy mean nothing unless you run on the highest difficulty.

i am playing through on normal/normal and now that i'm nearly finished it is, in fact, pretty fuckin' easy.

however, for the main bulk of the game, bombs, signs and alchemy kept me from getting slaughtered, and i often found myself preparing for quests that were a couple levels above my grade by seeking out better crafting diagrams for powerful bombs/oils

the thing i barely ever used except when mandated (or to bring down fliers) was the crossbow. what's the point of doing like 16 damage to things even with special super explodey or bleedy bolts?

the bit near the end where you get the xenonaut achievement was just flabbergasting.

like, they could have just recycled a bunch of assets and enemies, but no - a whole bunch of new poo poo, for a single quest.

also it's really cool how the "use the crossbow underwater to instantly kill things" isn't spelled out until quite late in the game in some random quest, so all those smuggler caches where you get molested by drowners trying to empty them were pointless annoyances!!

And if you ARE the type of person who spins around twice when leaving a room or touches a handle six times before you can shut a door, then that's your own goddamn fault for collecting all that pointless poo poo, not the game's.

today the witcher 3 thread taught me that mental illness is the fault of the sufferer

I think the key is that Ciri is an Adult, albeit young. She is looking to Geralt for Adult Guidance not hand holding, which means showing trust that Ciri can handle herself and doesn't need an adult to oversee her every choice.

wait so accompanying her in there and going "ciri can choose whatever and i'll support her" is a bad thing? i haven't finished yet so i genuinely don't know if that's the case

It is! But personally I!d recommend playing it after the main plot and before Hearts, because then it feels a bit like Geralt's Mediterranean vacation between assignments.

watch Alien, then watch Alien3, then go back to Aliens
