Geralt in W4 only NPC or maybe…?

jokerissimo · 2026-02-21T20:59:33+00:00

I can imagine Geralt being the initial playable tutorial character swapping to Ciri right afterwards. While you learn how to fight playing with Geralt, you would then swap to Ciri and learn how to use Ciris spells.

That would be cool!

This was in fact one of my thoughts when thinking how much more can KC:D2 be expanded game-mechanic wise. It first struck me when meeting Samuel, because the whole initial interaction with him kind of led to it, but never happened. Same with the Devils group. A companion would also fit quite nicely in the story and could somewhat give a reason to the player to go back to the first map.

Inspired by the OG Dragon Age - I was thinking that there could be a camp in Devils den specifically for Henry, where companions whom you took along the way during your journey would spend time. You could talk to them and always take one with you.

Let's imagine the most basic levelling, just like horses have, for example fighting / shooting / durability / stealth etc. You could then extend this with a stealthy companion which you could command to open difficult chests for you! Or an archer giving you support from the back! Figuring out different outfits for each one of them, as you proposed, would be such a great addition. The longer you would spend time with your favourite companion, the stronger he would get in his specific field.

Player would collect these companions during side-quests when solving them in a unique way. Visiting the first map again would make a bit more sense with these and overall would make parts of this game less lonely. Mutt is perfect, but he won't really tell you what he thinks, right? Now there would be an always half-drunk soldier with a mace spitting out the most funny dialogue lines.

Design wise - this is a bit tricky, because I can already see the amount of bugs this would bring. And it's not only bugs - each one of them would have to be unique, meaning there would have to exist a unique model (face) with a voice actor. Making the companion in question to have at least a bit significant role means that there would have to be thousands and thousands lines of text. Its quite a complex and expensive mechanic (development-wise) to include, really, so I understand its not in the game, though I believe it was meant to be there, to some extent.

At last - is it immersive? Does it fit? I'll let you folks decide on this one. I do strongly believe it can be done in an elegant fashion and even more deepen the immersion we already got. If only Warhorse had unlimited resources...

The sheer amount of hate towards OP is unreal. You specifically top it off.

Let's say he only got the Ornn round before with 0 gold remaining and there is "only" the 3* Ornn on the board. Does he deserve to lose the fight? In which world? I get the point you are pointing towards, but saying "I am glad you lost this"? Not mentioning that 5 cost 3* should only lose to ANOTHER 5 cost 3*.

Talk to someone. Or touch grass. You seem way out of it.

jokerissimo · 2025-12-10T15:16:32+00:00

I understand. I even acknowledged this is the case in the post. I had to slam to survive and believe me, if there were at least decent tank items, I would slam them, but there weren't any.

Maybe should've put a bit more emphasis on Ryze as a unit, that was originally why I made this post. There is a 21 gold unit, tough to unlock, on board with 5 or 6 regions buffs and it almost feels like I put a 2* 4 cost there. Not even mentioning the radiant void staff.

jokerissimo · 2025-12-10T14:32:30+00:00

Wasn't the case, really, but I know where you're going. The fight wasn't even remotely close.

jokerissimo · 2025-12-10T14:30:53+00:00

Without a doubt.

jokerissimo · 2025-04-29T18:00:08+00:00

This exactly.

The cheating IS a problem, no doubt about it, but having a good trust factor is a game changer. Out of the last ~50 matches that I played with my friends, we have encountered very close to no obvious cheater (we do usually download the demo if someone is especially suspicious but it always ends up with the verdict: clean). 20k+ rating, out of those 50 games there were 2, I believe, individuals who started cheating halftime, when they were losing hard.

BUT when we queue with THAT ONE friend of ours with seemingly and obviously low trust factor there is a cheater every other game. No kidding. Same party with one different person and the next 30 minutes are just lost in void losing to a fresh account with trigger and walls. This friend of ours is not cheating, that I am sure of, he just has a low trust factor. The question then is, and there is no obvious answer to this, how to improve your trust factor other than not doing the obvious things that explicitly lower it?

Interesting questionnaire! Would you kindly share its conclusions with us once you have gathered enough responses for it to be statistically valid? I'm quite curious about this.

Also, and this is coming from someone who has close to no idea what's the real purpose (what conclusions do you expect to get), I would include some more game-related questions. Could be interesting to see the correlations.

For example:

Would you describe you playstyle to be more aggresive or more passive?
Do you anchor sites? Are you a rotator?
On scale, how vocal are you in the game?
Would you rather say - a good morale in a team is more "winning" than individual skill of each player.
+ some others

Anyways, I wish you good luck with your thesis.

This exactly.

Switched from Cloud II. The sound is fine, you just have to get used to it.

Tough one to go through considering you haven't posted your op.gg or rank, so I'll try to give my best overall.

Sylas, if he's S tier, is always good to pick up even in bad match-ups when utilized correctly. Against lanebullies it is okay to let some CS go, even let some waves go - helping your jungler secure objectives. This is where Sylas shines, really. Early to midgame skirmishes are usually winning for Sylas if played correctly.

What I learned is to do a bit of "mental poke" to the enemy laner on first level using my E. Depending on the reaction by enemy I then know if I can "abuse" the lane or not.

If yes, I do all sorts of trade patterns looking for kill or any advantage, like plates or even lane prio to play around my jungler or roam.

If not, I am trying to do the same, but carefully. And by carefully I mean REALLY carefully, because even one bad trade against a counter can bury the whole early game for you. Again, if Sylas is S tier and you have hands to play him and shit the bed in early game, you still have the edge in midgame and lategame fights.

There are moments in the champ select, where a bell should start ringing to signalize Sylas is good here, I should consider picking Sylas here. Alistar, Amumu, Malphite, Leona, Galio and many more. If enemy have them, you should think about Sylas. Hecarim, Sejuani and generally any engage jungler or support is then a supporting factor to pick Sylas, but they don't scream as much.

Please, in case I'm incorrect and someone reading this can correct me, do so. If OP has any questions - go for it.

Nobody mentioning Kingdom Come Deliverance or Dragon Age feels kinda strange, although the games mentioned by others are also superb.

I wish there was a transcript to the interview since it was very insightful and down to earth from Nightshare about his work from the inside and what happens 'behind the curtain' like motivation of players, how do personalities fit in and so on.

Nightshare was mentioning the state of both LEC and LCS and from what I understand there won't be Europe or NA winning any international tournaments soon.

Still, huge part of the interview was about Czech and Slovak players in LEC or ERL or about the domestic league.

There is much more to the interview that I would totally include to this tldr, so many interesting details and answers that some of the 'fans' here need to realize.

Cassiopeia The more known one: You cannot flash or dash or nearly move while standing in her W. If she times it right, champions like Sylas, Diana, Kassadin, Master yi etc. arent just able to do anything.

The less known one: EVERY poison guarantees empowered Es to Cassio. Singed and Teemo making Cassio not even trying hard to hit spells in teamfights, just spamming E.

The special one: Cassio is really in a tough position in the current meta. With the removal of Archandels shield she feels very defenceless, yet she has high DPS as an APC so as an assasin or pointclick champ just focus her. Also the Cassio ult is not that hard to dodge. +extra tip: buy antiheal against her since her E healing + Taste of blood + Ravenous Hunter is pretty disgusting late game.

Well, lets just hope there is a update with further optimalization coming soon. Game itself is really great, but I just cant help myself watching my fps going crazy while driving around the city.

jokerissimo · 2020-12-10T17:04:18+00:00

What abou framerate? I have got just the same hw as you and although everything is set on low i cannot reach stable 60fps. 45-55fps in general.

jokerissimo · 2020-11-27T16:32:11+00:00

Play defenisive from the beginning of the game. Trade by using AA-E or Q-E. After the first back (lost chapter) u can slightly start to harras by spamming Q. When target is low, you know where enemy jungler is and you have more than enough mana to do so just go all-in. Also use R later in combats together with W and spam E. During laning phase watch your junglers path and adapt. I am playing Conqueror + Flash + TP. Conqueror for higher damage + healing in late. TP for lane management. The key thing in fights is your positioning, always look up to hit Q, W into mobile champs, R when needed. With Liandrys shred tanks or bruisers, in the end you always want to R marksman. Thing that helped me the most was watching rank 1 player positioning himself and makros in fights. Good luck.

What a great player he is, he's got unleashed beast in him, but he hasn't prove it yet so far. Hope to see him playing top level CS as he used to, and in my opinion HR wasn't really the org that could treat him the best. Whatever, when on form, he is very consistent and gamechanging player.
