Though for me... something in the north is calling me to take a look from the wall... and booming around "Winter is coming!" does have its charms too.Those little ones were the the hobgoblins, there's a quest involving them - as far as I remember, a guy by the old broken bridge gives that quest.ilear said:I SOW LITTLE SOMETHING THAT WAS RUNNING AWAY FROM ME with so funny sounds
In Lebioda' Hospital two nurses are telling a well known joke:Nurse 1: Where's the simulant from room 2?Nurse 2: Died this morning.Nurse 1: Pretended until the end.
i think it depends on how much your native language differs from the slavic language you're attempting to learn. typologically, slavic languages aren't special in the indo-european family, since a large number of languages have the same syntactic structure, similar phonology and grammatical features (e.g. the declension and agreement of nouns and adjectives) as the slavic languages.AlexTaylor said:
I never heard the elves in the swamp sing Leonard Cohen, pity, i love him so... Also, the chess with the Death, yeah, very good. A man and a woman in the outskirts of Vizima are talking for their secret meeting after dark, and the woman says "my husband will find out...", so the man answers "he will drink again and sleep...". Everyday the same discussion, but i never managed to find them! It could be fun! Before i help Vesna, i went to her house and her grandma said she was worried for her, because it was late and she wasn't home yet. After i helped her (and we met the next evening), i went again one day to her house, and grandma said "i don't blame her, in her age i was the same..."! ;D After some time, i went again, and what you think she told me? "Vesna is acting strange lately, am i to become a great grandma?" Some characters ask for a gift, but only one time, if you don't have it at this time they never ask you again... I liked that. The old ladies at the outskirts, everytime you give them food or money, they tell you about a herb.

The old ladies at the outskirts, everytime you give them food or money, they tell you about a herb.One more little piece of fun:Have you guys ever tried wearing a "red ribbon", a drowner-repelling amulet? I've tried it only in Chapter V, when drowner activity in the swamps started to get on my nerves too much. I mean - one can't even enter a cave until there are no drowners in the area - combat mode won't allow entrance. And, as I stated previously once, the drowners have established a Geralt fan-club meant for bugging him out of his mind. So I made Geralt wear that amulet and decided to see what it'll bring.And then the fun began. The drowners started acting crazy. They would run to Geralt, as usual, but a few meters away they would stop and start running circles around him or stepping back and forth like in some kind of a shamanic dance. When Geralt draws his sword, the drowners would run off and hide (really!) behind rocks or floating wood. After Geralt puts he's sword back into it's sheath, they come out and start circling him again. As Geralt steps towards one of the drowners, it would run away and soon return. And all of it looks really funny. But the occurence that nearly made me fall off my chair after some time of watching that swamp-circus, was, as I've called it "A Poke-And-Run Incident". Imagine: A Chapter V swamp, nearly 6 pm and it's raining heavily.Geralt stands near a druid's cave, facing the entrance. We can see a lone drowner standing not far behind the witcher, rocking back and forth, obviously being bugged with "To approach or not to approach?" question. I sit and watch, wondering what happens. Few seconds after, the drowner, seeming to have reached the decision, quietly steps forward. Geralt stands with his sword sheathed. The drowner makes one more little and very cautious step forward, so now it stands rather close behind Geralt. (That drowner reminded me very much of Gollum - but anyway, drowners are being Gollum-like on a regular basis). Geralt does not move. The drowner rocks back and forth again, obviously feeling star-struck from the witcher's close presence. ( ;D ;D ;D). Finally it lifts it's hand hesitantly, and //I swear that is exactly what I've seen !!! No kidding ! Random scripts sometimes really kick it, as I think you all know.//... and pokes Geralt in the lower back! Geralt draws his sword and turns around quickly, presumably being very scary. The drowner jumps up a little, then turns away and runs as if whole hell unleashed behind it.( I've never seen drowners running so fast.). I decided not to make Geralt pursue the creature - it deserves to live for such wonderful performance ;D.Too bad I couldn't make the video of the encounter. I don't think it will ever occur again, considering the whole random script issue. But it was a true cracker.
Haha, yes, that ribbon thing is fun, althouth the fanclub always pissed me off because they wouldn't go away when I wante to enter a cave. Ah well, they die from one Igni.Another Easter Egg I've found:When Cyrilla studied magic with Yennifer, she was trying the Aard sign and broke down a shed. The same, as you remember, happened with Alvin. The wording is identical
Yes, the drowners are terribly easy to kill, and terribly annoying sometimes. And they really seem to have a fan-club for our good witcher. Even more than barghasts (green ghost-dogs) did in Act 1. Ah, about barghasts - their little fan-club seemed to have a thing for Geralt's arse ;D - for every barghest I found tried it's best to creep from behind and bite the witcher in that particular area, LOL.And I think Alvin was based on Cyrilla - there are many similarities between them besides the one you're speaking about.
Oh I liked him...it's a shame, really.Ha! The Professor (or Raplh Bluenden) is also a very old enemy. The Vivaldi bank exists in the books as well...the devs have made a lot of connections to the world of the book series...however, it feels much less dark and gritty than the game world.Same with Triss' plans for a happy and peaceful life, they were voiced by Yen...damn, it's really sad to read this when you know the end and what happens after it.
Do they sing : "First..we take Manhatan...then we take Berliinn...?"Cassandra31EEE said:I never heard the elves in the swamp sing Leonard Cohen, pity, i love him so...
In the lakeside village one of the girls playing around houses by the riverbank recites this little poem:"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange eons even death may die. "H.P.Lovecraft. ;DUh, that name in the brackets... is that the name of the voice actor? or the real name of Professor in the books?Sorry for this dumb question, i am still waiting for my books ... so no clue...I am still looking for some English Voice Actors who spoke who but to no avail.MisterV said:
hahha yeah, u both are damned right!!!! ahah especially when u knock the hell out the f***g panzies, u notice that geralt took his balls with hands lol like brad pittAerondight...if u think more closer...wu will notice that this sword its ExcaliburZinny said:
and oh i forgot,at Kaer Morhen the prologue...ahah that was hilarious...take a close looks at the graffits, geralt will say some nice words...one graffits (i think) resemble jesus christ, another one he say"oh the famous withcer George(a guy riding an horse, killing a dragon with a lance ;D)" its StGeorge that killed the dragon ahah..i need to discover the other one lol..sorry again, im editing for the last time lol, im just asking but...do the cdprojekt programmers wanted to get the witchers story looking like the jews?? just curious ,because iv heard the book talking about witchers and ive found the word "pogrom".....This is not an easter egg, but may be interesting if you are into world loreA vetala, or baital, is a vampire-like being from Hindu mythology.The vetala are defined as spirits inhabiting corpses. These corpses may be used as vehicles for movement (as they no longer decay while so inhabited), but a vetala may also leave the body at will. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vetal)Also Shani, like a previous poster said is indicative of Saturn- the most inauspicious planet ever in Hindu Astrology. Shani is related to 7 years of bad luck. So, if your Geralt romanced her...expect a depressing honeymoon
