Witcher 3 is shite [split topic]

Marner and Me

Last time I played this I was in a boss battle with some gopping toad, and it thrashed me 5 times in a row. I really need to pick it up again.

Cuellar

So you can actually hump prostitutes then? Is there any reason for this?

Thursday

Because it's a mature game for grown-ups yeah?

bgmnts

I don't think we should shy away from the fact that sex work is a part of life. I wish it wasn't so flippant though.

Cuellar

I thought Witchers didn't really have emotions, why is he fucking everything that moves

Jerzy Bondov

He's not when I play it. He wouldn't do that to Yennefer (although I understand she doesn't give a shit)

Poobum

He wouldn't do that to Triss I think you find.

Cuellar

Well, he's banged Keira so far (and a prostitute, although, to be fair, that was my decision. I was just curious). And it looks like he's going to shag every woman he talks to.

It is in many ways a shame you can't pump the male prostitutes that hang around the brothels. That would be good. Or the sexy elf tailor drag queen that Dandelion fancies.

MojoJojo

People seem to forget that the first Witcher game made sleeping around a subgame in itself, where you got to collect soft-core "Romance cards" from all the women you slept with. Which seems worse now, what with revenge porn and the like.

From what I remember of the books I've read, sex wasn't a major part of the books, and it's a bit of a shame the sexism introduced in the first game has been carried forward all the way into the TV series.

Dog Botherer

having read a few of the books, they get progressively hornier as they go on. probably why i sacked it in after a few. first one is genuinely good though.

There's a nice little naive charm about the way Witcher 3 handles the sexy stuff. I find it quite funny walking through Novigrad on a dark stormy night at 3am with sleet hurtling down and there's all these scantily clad ladies of the night wandering through the mud and shit whilst giving their cute little booties a nice little wiggle. Did this sort of thing really happen in a real medieval city? Who cares!

I also find it quite funny how all the hookers in the game have a huge array of over the top parochial British accents. I've always thought that surely must have been done deliberately as a little nod to Eurotrash.

One the things I do like without any irony or contradiction about the setting/world is that everyone keeps saying this and it's clearly a completely stupid belief with almost no evidence in support of it.

Spoiler alert
It's made fairly clear, I think, if there's any truth to it, it's not really much to do with the mutagens and everything to do with a massively traumatic childhood followed by an adulthood scraping a living murdering stuff for people who think you're extremely creepy, fuckability aside.

Even in the books everyone says it, including Geralt (sarcastically maybe?), but he shows on numerous occasions how it's bullshit.

Cuellar

Fucking..whole subquest the entire point of which is to get naked as Ciri and sit in a sauna with some woman and her naked mum. Girlfriend walks in at this exact moment, what sort of game is this? Good question. Horny game. Game for horny teens.

Quote from: BenderBeing a robot's great, but we don't have emotions and sometimes that makes me very sad. [sniffs]

Witchers are supposed to be misunderstood. it's too deep you probably wouldn't get it.

Cuellar

"Dear sir

I am a witcher, can I have sex with this prostitute, even though it serves no purpose"

No way.

You should be locked up.

A peasant was singing 'The Book of Love' by The Magnetic Fields in my vineyard last night.

Cuellar

Right, completed the main quest and the DLC main quests last night. Realised I'd watched a video of the ending of the Gaunter O'Dimm storyline some time ago (for some reason) so I knew exactly what to do etc. Found the Blood and Wine story a bit more engaging, and I like having my estate.

I humped: a sex worker, Keira, Shani... I think that's it. Thought I was going to get a go at the elderly countess who had a dalliance with Vesemir in her youth, but no dice. Pity. But still, it was a good game, I enjoyed it. Even if it wasn't that challenging (but that was probably due to the difficulty setting). I think

gave me the most trouble as far as boss fights went, all the rest were pretty underwhelming.

Might carry on running around, helping people out, killing bandits. Might try it again at a higher difficulty, now I know how everything works. Will be tough having a shit gwent deck though. Got used to thrashing people with ease.
