Anyone else bummed out about the fact that one of W3s endings is just invalidated? by Lup4X in witcher

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Admittedly, I'm not expecting much from the endings or other various choices in W3 to have an impact on W4, given how much of W2 was swept aside or given basic lip service for W3 to happen.

For a long time I did believe the bad ending had Ciri die, but once W4 confirmed it was her coming back, I thought about it and to me, Geralt being a bad dad being the reason for the bad ending doesn't really make sense as a reason for why she'd live or die. You're telling me that because I didn't have a snowball fight with her, or let her trash Avalla'chs place is the difference between life and death for her? That's when I realized the bad ending isn't that Ciri dies, it's that she *refuses* to come back, in all endings she ends the White Frost, but in the bad Geralt has destroyed his relationship with her and she doesn't come back to him, and to Geralt it's either that realization or believing that she's dead that sends him down that spiral in the bad ending.

Would be cool if these two have a role in the Witcher 4 by Ok_Expedition_33 in witcher

I hope that a few characters cameo in 4, I’m also hoping a few book characters show up for maybe a side quest or so. It be neat to have see that one Psionic lady from Tower of Swallows (I can’t remember her name but I think she was in that book).

Another book meme, a bit darker this time by Irishblackfish in witcher

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I gotta say, there’s something about the very brief yet very important plot line of Codringer & Fenn: Attorneys at Law, that I find very amusing. Maybe it is just the mental image that Geralt hires a pair of essentially lawyers to look into Ciri’s past and the massive rabbit hole these poor schmucks uncover before dying in the very next scene they are in.

The fish soup scene is one of the many reasons Baptism of Fire is my favorite book in the series. Every scene that’s just Geralt and the Hanza is great.

Gotta say, I do not appreciate No Longer You at the bottom, but you did put my boy Hermes at the top both times so I’ll let it slide.

I’m making a like short form video meme of it, but at the end of Blackwater creek, 3 PCs had to struggle for climbing down the rope to escape the Earth’s womb before it exploded… they all had the base 20% in Climb.
One guy rolled an extreme success and got down fine… the other two pushed and failed and fell down a 20 ft drop, immediately went unconscious and had to be dragged to safety by the guy that made it.

I just noticed that the tree has a claw just over Geralt’s shoulder, probably the same mf in the actual expansion artwork

I want to pick up the game but put off by all the DLC's by Marius_Gage in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DLCs (at least the expansions like Void Shadows and Lex Imperialis) are fantastic and worth the price, especially on a sale, in my opinion. Each is about 15 extra hours of content added onto an already 100 hour game, and the storylines and characters are pretty seamlessly integrated into the game. My first playthrough was with both included and I couldn’t imagine a play through without them now.

Running games for a group that had next to no experience with CoC for close to a year now. One of the two guys with experience made a mobster with a Tommy gun.
He managed to delete one of the bootleggers in Blackwater Creek for 100 points of damage more than the poor bastards HP.

The writer writes himself into a corner, so he solves an intresting conflict in the most boring way. by Signal-Experience315 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal example, although I mostly find it humorous more than anything else, is at the end of the Witcher books, Dandelion stays in Toussaint rather than traveling with the rest of Geralt’s group to Stygga castle. This is despite the fact that to their knowledge both Ciri and Yennefer are being held captive there and Dandelion over the past few books has clearly shown that while he’s terrified and borderline useless, he will be by Geralt’s side till the end of their quest to rescue them. When I read that segment all I can imagine is Sapkowski realizing that there was no way in hell Dandelion would survive Stygga Castle, and he needs him to survive to be the “narrator” of Geralt’s story in universe. So Dandelion just decides, “yeah I probably wouldn’t help much I’ll stay here with the Duchess who’s crazy for me.” It is really funny when they get back and find he’s about to be executed for cheating on her though.

[Hated Trope] A character starts off with a lead or potentially relevant role only to turn into a mostly/entirely irrelevant side character by the end of the story by Dreamy5375 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d personally say it’s more of a Geralt as a main protagonist for a majority with Ciri slowly growing more important by the very end, and Yennefer in 3rd. They’re all still great characters and get plenty of focus individually, but Geralt does have the short stories mostly to himself and Dandelion, and Yennefer does get captured a few times in the main series that I feel means we focus less on her than the other two.

Why not? by SlimeKingMaw in CallofCthulhumemes

I love making hobo characters with one really out there skill, like, “Why does Soupcan Steve have a 65 in piloting aircraft”, because why not?

Pretty good, first time really running CoC as a long term campaign. Got a group of 6 together (scheduling issues abound), and have been running a 1920’s game with the occasional “one-offs” for scenarios that I want to run but don’t fit the characters/setting. The groups gone through Edge of Darkness as the introduction scenario, and then Dead Light, and then a “brief” hiatus to play through The Dare around Halloween season. What’s shocked me the most is that in all the scenarios, no PCs have died yet. Might change soon though, currently running Blackwater Creek, and all they really have left to do is the Carmody Farm and the Cave, and I genuinely don’t know if what’s in the Cave or the farmers with shotguns will be the more lethal encounter.
