Gave W3 a fourth try and it actually caught me in this time, im enjoying it a lot, but... Am i the only one who finds Yennefer annoying?

Also, is it me or is the Gwent AI cheating sometimes?

Yen is a cunt but Triss is a bitch. Pick your poison, really.

Both women have their issues. Yen's a real bitch even when she's technically 'not as mad' at you. Geralt has his type and very, very bitchy.

The bachelor's life is an option too, to be fair. Yen is kind of bitchy but she mellows out a lot and you can see why Geralt likes her by the end if you follow through with her. Triss becomes a lot less palatable when you realize she's basically been raping Geralt for the past five odd years while keeping him intentionally in the dark about his daughter and wife.

Yennefer is a fucking bitch. but she's also my wife.

you just got to outcheat the Gwant AI
 
So is there any achievement attached to, or any worthwhile treasure to be found sailing on the Skellige isles? Is that time sink worth it?

Also im surprised and kinda disappointed that the mayor decision in the King's Gambit sidequest was so... Obvious. In a game where you must often choose between the lesser of two evils this one was so tilted towards one side that it just felt off to me

The treasure caches are only there for autists. Crafting schematics are included in the loot tables, but you can always buy those too.

If I remember right, siding with Dijkstra was the only way to get an independent Temeria endgame state, which while making sense, I don't know why anyone would care.

Bear School diagrams, and there's some alchemy recipes you can buy, plus monsters you can't find on the mainland you'll likely need to harvest parts from at some point. Also you can fist-fight a bear and then a troll to get declared the finest brawler in the Northern Realms, so that's definitely worth it.

Just played Witcher 2 and even though I spend $3, I still want my money back. Witcher 3 is the comeback kid because I'm now surprised CD Project Red existed as long as it does when the only good game they made is Witcher 3. Combat is a clunky, unintuitive mess. Finding out information on monsters is confusing and I needed to look through forums to find out how. The forced stealth segments are the worst I've ever seen, even worse than RE6's. I want to like the story, but game play is king and this game failed at it.

The Witcher is the superior Witcher game.

Witcher 2 suffers because the final act feels short/unfinished.

Witcher 3 is comfy and would be superior if it still had the sex trading cards that Witcher had.

I have heard rumor of more Witcher games and this is concerning. Truthfully I would rather have a few more DLC packs for Witcher 3.

It's been a really long time but I remember having fun with Witcher 2, though the combat was pretty frustrating from what I recall, I ended up using bombs and traps a lot rather than fucking around with the clunky sword combat.

What I remember more than the game itself is having a PC that was pretty good for the time and Witcher 2 still running like shit. From what I understand the game is a poorly optimised mess.

Witcher 2 used RedEngine, IIRC, which is about as well-optimized as CryEngine, if not worse, and it was their first attempt at making an internal engine. For contrast Witcher 1 used Aurora, BioWare's RPG engine used by the NWN games. For Witcher 3 they had enough experience to really get things running very smoothly on it... and then with Cyberpunk 2077 they decided to start chugging methanol-laced vodka given the obvious brain rot its demonstrated.

Look man corona hit everyone hard, they had to make due with what they had on hand and they made their own alcohol.

Asking a slav to be without alcohol is like asking a fish to go without water.

Yeah, and slavs have been making alcohol that only kills brain cells at the standard rate for centuries.

No, really, you have to seriously fuck up your distilling processes to get methanol in your shine.
 
Thought this might be of interest here , Geralt's voice actor is branching put into audiobook / play stuff , in the Dredd world of all things

TW3's next gen patch was released today. My old ass 1080ti can't do RT but I have been looking for a reason to replay it, so maybe I'll still try it out.
