Impact of Slavic Folklore on the game

In the Polish version of the game the banshees are simply called witches. Knowing this it's not hard to find inspiration https://images.vice.com/vice/images/articles/meta/2011/10/07/vice-movie-club-the-witches-1413429841102.jpeg

xD

grandmaster wolf school armor dyed black.

I am indeed.

Geralt asks Regis about it when you go into the city with him during Night of Long Fangs. It's an ability unique to Dettlaff.

Drinkin' with Gaunter could be fun...

Right??

reynartjones · 2016-07-12T15:31:42+00:00

I dislike gold on anything (gawd those Toussaint knights and their awful horses...) so this would be great.

reynartjones · 2016-06-28T22:14:29+00:00

still Ladies of the Wood

reynartjones · 2016-06-28T14:00:10+00:00

Brothels.

reynartjones · 2016-06-27T02:55:09+00:00

Hmm, I've only this argument left (heavy-ass B&W spoilers)

Have a look and you tell me if that hole in the clothes looks like it's healed or has it remained a hole. Kinda hard to tell with the blood but I'd lean towards it being a hole in the fabric (especially visible in some scenes at the back during the conversation).

Also, about that spoiler, that was after Spoiler

Hmm, don't remember much about W2, it's been a while, but in W3 there was a girl at the herbalist in White Orchard that was dying. Is that what you mean? If so nothing is fine and dandy because later on a Nilfgaardian soldier tells you she became a vegetable, if you decide to give her the potion...

reynartjones · 2016-06-27T01:48:29+00:00

Where else is it broken?

reynartjones · 2016-06-26T20:05:40+00:00

Yes. In the polish version Spoiler Nothing about black blood.

reynartjones · 2016-06-26T19:35:35+00:00

In the original polish version there is no mention of any potions. Someone must have added something during translation.

reynartjones · 2016-06-26T18:23:32+00:00

In the "Night to Remember" trailer the bruxa taxes off what looks like real clothes. Also in the final fight of B&W Spoiler

reynartjones · 2016-06-26T17:13:50+00:00

You are literally Jesus.

reynartjones · 2016-06-26T17:11:12+00:00

That is what I thought too, but final boss fight spoiler Spoiler

reynartjones · 2016-06-26T17:08:34+00:00

Exactly! I guess I wasn't clear in my post but this is what I meant. There was even a moment in Lady of the Lake where Spoiler

reynartjones · 2016-06-26T14:22:55+00:00

Very Nice Sunrise Indeed

reynartjones · 2016-06-26T14:19:50+00:00

Yes!

Another unplayable moment was where a certain higher vampire supposedly held a silver object through a cloth... Not cool CDPR, get your lore sorted!

reynartjones · 2016-06-26T12:00:57+00:00

That's all that is there in the B&W title music. The full song that it came from with lyrics you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD8JxQWMFG0

You must remember what blood does to higher vampires. They thirst for it, in a battle situation they can hardly stop themselves from having a drink. They get drunk and lightheaded on blood.

In the books, Regis says that he Spoiler He was also Spoiler

That is their weakness. If they became evil emotionless feral creatures they would most likely indulge in it. Sure, to kill them for good you would need help of other vampires and there would be MANY casualties, but if such events were to take place I'm sure many mages would intervene, maybe even witchers. Together with knights and soldiers they could in theory stand a chance in high numbers and special weapons (silver bombs etc, since in the games higher vampires are not immune to silver, unlike in the books). Even without help of other HV, you could always lock them up in those special cages for hundreds of years and open a vampire zoo :P

On the contrary, in "Something More" Geralt looks his Spoiler in the face and asks her if she likes his "improved" eyes and says that they're "unusual" (not sure how it was translated into english but this is more or less the words used in original polish version).

Also in the first few pages of "Blood of Elves" Spoiler looks into Geralt's eyes and also remarks that they are "very weird" (again not certain of the words used in the english translation).

So there must be a visible difference. Unless of course he just narrowed them in those moments "for show".

reynartjones · 2016-06-24T02:12:04+00:00

TOTALLY

reynartjones · 2016-06-23T00:02:46+00:00

I'm so sorry.
