I don't know about that.

Just looked up some gameplay. Holy shit this does look like an over the shoulder Diablo game. There are numbers coming out of the enemy and the swings look super awkward lol.

It was built on Bioware's Neverwinter Nights engine. It's such a different game, gameplay-wise compared to 2 and 3. I wasn't a fan of how the game played but the plot was super compelling.

Well from what I've seen on the Witcher in general I wouldn't really be playing it for the gameplay. The world sounds super interesting and its really cool how choices completely change the game and not just some few lines of dialogue.

I cleared my ignore list yesterday, I noticed that like 50% were apparently permabanned anyway. Good idea or bad idea? Only time will tell.
Brad never left.

Witcher 2 completed. That game goes quick when you ignore the side quests.
End game decision:
That definitely won't bite me in the ass ever!
End game decision:
I let Letho go.

That's how I felt as well.
Was it the 'Everyone can find a job they enjoy' thing during Danswers?
Makes sense to me.
After all, Geralt was interfering in politics at the beginning of the game too. Be a bit hypocritical to off Letho for the same thing.

TW2
But yeah I don't disagree with the reasonings presented in this thread, just saying that the guy ain't no saint.
i remember still fighting and killing lethos for framing me and essentially forcing the entirety of the events of TW2 on me when I just wanted to find Yennifer. He basically paid the price for making my life a giant fucking side quest for 25 hours.

I was ready to kill him for that too but when Letho told me if I hadn't been breaking the Witcher's code and playing bodyguard I never would have accidentally been framed in the first place.
Really good story on these games.

Wow, Jeff works late I guess. Isn't it 7:30 over there?

Sure, people say all sorts of things when backed into a corner. Pfff.
But really, I just didn't feel like I could let him continue doing his thing given the level of instability it was causing. Regardless of how sound his reasoning was, his actions weren't being committed in a vacuum. But whatevs, the fact that everyone feels they made the choice they wanted to make and that the game doesn't make any choice seem poorer than the other just goes to show how well done that whole ending was.
Absolutely. The way it handled choice and let you justify things to yourself is so organic it's one of the closest games I've ever felt to having a real GM fucking with me and using my decisions to drive the story while I play.
The way I saw it was that
the dude just wanted to restore his own Witcher group, something I would have probably done too. Plus I kinda didn't care about all the asshole kings getting killed, seriously they were all dirtbags. Letho also helped Geralt try to find Yennefer before the memory loss, so he was a bro.

I killed him

I doubt Geralt
would go to the lengths that Letho did. It's less about the couple kings he killed and more about the resulting instability and war that will kill tens of thousands. I guess you could argue that Nilfgaard would have invaded at some point no matter what but Letho's actions made it a certainty.
Maybe it's because I've been at work so much, but Witcher 3 feels like something that I've already put so much time into and still feel like I'm nowhere near the end of it and I'm kind of getting to that, 'Ok I got responsibilities and shit, I don't want to spend all of 2015 trying to finish this and not playing other games during my sparse free time.'
i should probably read a wiki on witcher 2 and try and rmeember wtf i was doing at all
all i remember was: something about a dragon, something about a bunch of kings dying, something about hunting griffins or some shit, some elven renegades and then we were in a camp?
also I banged like everything. I think. Or maybe that was Witcher 1.

He gets to the office around 10 so not really.
it definitely keeps going and going, I thought I was going to wrap it up these past two days but I think I still have at least 3 quests to go

I thought it was Rorie, but who knows?
Wouldn't be the first time Rorie was forgotten.

I think it's rorie w/ dog ears.
The person who turned their back on Giant Bomb!!!!1!
(I know the person specifically said that's not what he intended).
#myinterpretation #deathoftheauthor
That's how I interpret it too. Plus that ghost on the TV is a symbol of him being like a ghost haunting our Giant Bomb memories. The light from the TV makes him cast a shadow over Giant Bomb too. This author, so sneaky with this symbolism.
Someone ought to warn Vinny and Brad that in TW3 if you're 6 levels ahead of a sidequest or contract's recommended level, you no longer gain XP for it. Not a bug, a designed feature. For someone that likes to do everything and explore every nook and cranny, you can quickly find yourself overleveled for quests you had meant to do.
Hah, just noticed the Waluigi hat in the nacho cheese.
Yeah I try to clear em as soon as I get to the level they're intended for, but my biggest criticism of the game is probably that it's bad at doling out level appropriate quests sometimes.

Played an hour or so of Witcher 3. I can already tell is just... way fucking better in every way. The facial animations do a ton, and the voice acting is better too. Really polished in a way Witcher 2 didn't come close.
There's a xp bug where green quests also dont give xp
