Issues with GTX 970 Hello people! Today I got and installed my new GTX. Games such as Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 wouldn't start. I tried various things, changing drivers, using DDU, everything except game uninstallation or pc formating. Had the weird idea to deactivate my antivirus, and voila...

It happens to random people with random rigs as far as we know. ATI, AMD, NVidia, doesn't matter at all. Since they stated in another tech thread that crashes are a top priority, we'll be expecting a patch soon, along with tweaks for better graphics ( also stated in another threat somewhere that...

Both had very good qualities, but were totally different. The common ground between both games is that decision-and-consequence that spans almost all of the games' duration. The first felt magical. Many many hair-raising moments, awesome atmosphere and the question "what happened to that guy?"...

The concept of worlds inside/between worlds is indeed very old. From the ancient underworlds, to the estates of gods, to the hollow earth and the multiverse itself or Tolkien's Valinor. There always were some who could travel through them, whether by mystical knowledge or supernatural ability...

It was a fine trailer. Bearded Geralt is bearded, Vesemir is one of the characters I missed in W2 and I would have liked to see more in W1. Yennefer was revealed in action at last. It had that feeling of "long journeys" indeed. It just felt a bit short, empty in places, and not the whole...

Sure thing, but with the W2 intro, even a player with no Witcher experience could get that that big bald and fast mountain of muscle was a bad guy, or at least someone not entirely on your side. W1 intro had a simple narration, explaining a simple story that told us what witchers were. Truth be...

Red point for that 40K reference! :D Apart from being too short, the intro needs a voice. Either Geralt's, Vesemir's or Dandelion's, narrating the story so far, or at least what's happening there. Since the devs said that it could be played as a stand alone game by players new to the Witcher...

Well, I remember in one of the interviews, the various interactions the world has with itself and with your actions. Meaning, killing things and leaving corpses for example, will attract various kinds of predators, from natural to monstrous. When hunting a certain group of people, there will be...

Wow, I've been gone for about 2 weeks and this keeps coming back even more awesome. Way too much stuff to comment on, and some of them off topic, but thanks a lot to all the posters. You guys rock! I love it when something ( whether it's a book, game, or movie ) is so "imbued" with lore, myths...

In other semi-related / unrelated facts, reading LordCrash's post, describing Baba Yaga deep in a forest, I couldn't help but be reminded of another game character, Ravel Puzzlewell, locked deep in a maze made of branches and thorns, from Planescape : Torment. A Nighthag who would test anyone...

I'm currently playing dark, and it's a pain to get the armors/weapons. I only got the second, since it's pretty decent, I like how it looks the most from all 3, and I couldn't save up for both the first and second. The third one is way too expensive, both for mats and orens. Plus you get it way...

Oh, ok, thanks for that clarification. Been busy, didn't have a lot of time to "look around". I thought that when you mentioned mutagens you meant as in W2.

There could be potions that need to be taken during meditation in order to take advantage of their full effects, and also, some weaker potions that could be equipped and drunk at any time, but giving only a small extra edge which might be needed. Or perhaps, you have 2 potions at the ready just...

Wow, this keeps getting better and better. There is a lot of common ground between traditions and folklore, even among totally different areas and ages. A good example as mentioned were the Nornes/ Fates. One could say that Balder equals Hermes, and vice versa, or that Zeus = Odin and Thor =...

Well, I tend to stick with first impressions when book characters are concerned. When I first read about Bonhart and the subsequent parts of the story, I kept picturing him as a weird combination of Perlman and Cleef. For some reason in my mind they fit perfectly in the role. Of course JustAnor...

Indeed, it's awesome. Haven't seen that one! She always does a hell of a job. Still I can't help but see a Bonhart whose face instantly changes between Perlman and Cleef. And now this portrait too. :D

Bonhart Appearance-Possible SPOILERS I'm sorry if it's the wrong place for that, the mods can move the thread or lock it as they see fit. I recently read about Bonhart and it's been bugging me since. Am I the only one who after reading his description, instantly thought of Ron Perlman or Lee...

About the Pale Man : “I wanted to represent political power within the creatures,” Guillermo Del Toro explains to an interviewer, “And that particular character somehow came to represent the church and the devouring of children. The original design was just an old man who seemed to have lost a...

Perhaps that Tree Spirit will help us if there's a fight with them?

Aes Sidhe, indeed, mythologies and legends ( especially greek, norse and celtic ) are a special part of my childhood, teen and adult life, they have influenced my music tastes, what I read and almost everything about me. The conversation was too awesome and informative not to read the whole thing :D
