How to make the best in-game forest ever?

[Garrison72]

INCLUDE TRAPS .......... simple and fun. Example:Geralt is walking around looking for a drowner to have fun with by killing him in 1 hit. But, if not careful, he activates a trap by stepping on a rope and a rock falls on his head, or...... he falls in a hole /full of poisonous snakes/.

Or a grand piano comes crashing down on top of him.

Big Foot is as evil as it gets.

Riiight. What did he do? Steal candy from you?

 

[Demut]

Have you ever seen the movie “Abominable”? He’ll snatch you through a window and break your back if you’re not going through in one go, that’s what he is going to do :B

 

[vilgefortze]

Your fault if you don't fit through the window. He was just taking you out for a tea-party.

At the risk of this going off topic you would be a bit PO if ppl kept on doing this to you

 

[vilgefortze]

Thanks for that Seeker. Even the most timid of creatures can turn to violence if smacked in the @ss .

So on the end, how big forest should be

 

[vilgefortze]

Depends on what the purpose of the forest is. If you go to the forest only to hunt a creature, it can be pretty small ( a quest length). If, on the other hand, a whole act is based on you passing through a forest, it'll have to be pretty big.

In that case i vote for the big, as big as possible

Moving on. What kind on animals should Geralt encounter in the forest? I don't mean monsters. The only non-monster creatures you kill were wolves in TW1. But shouldn't a forest have more natural dangers like, say , wildcats?And should Geralt be allowed to cook at campfires? He hunts a wyvern, grills the meat and enjoys a juicy wyvern stake,...instead of taking a piece of raw meat out of his bag and munching it, like in TW1. Geralt is a traveller. He should know how to cook.Thoughts?

There were wild cats in TW1, naked green ones even at that. Cooking, I don't know. Maybe he likes to eat raw meat, being a mutant and all..

 

[vilgefortze]

Aah. but those "wildcats" were pretty tame, don't you think?In the books Geralt doesn't ever say "no" to a warm meal at a fireplace or an inn. If witchers ate their stuff raw, they wouldn't have a fireplace in their kitcher in Kaer Mohren.Also, consider this: Dandelion is traveling with you. You're in a forest, and he needs to eat. He can't eat raw, and if you let him cook, you'll soon have a poisoned bard you need to drag around, looking for help. Of course you need to know how to cook.

And should Geralt be allowed to cook at campfires? Geralt is a traveller. He should know how to cook.

Hmmm yes, yes that is actually a very good idea. we can switch his potions for the cooking spices where are my spices aha mmmm tasty

 

[vilgefortze]

If he switches his potions for spices he'll end up fat, and in the belly of a kikimore somewhere. He'll have to make potions, but after that, he'll finish the remaining alcohol with a nice juicy slice of grilled wyvern instead of a lump of raw crap.

hahahaha kikimore for the lunch ;P

 

[vilgefortze]

I wouldn't mind trying the koschey for lunch. If it tastes like a crab.... If the damn thing tastes like a spider though.... Others... TW1 enemies I wouldn't mind eating:1. Wyvern , C*ockatrice( should be like regular poultry)2. Archespore/Echinops (for revenge)3. Vodyanoi /Dagon (should be like fish)TW1 creatures I would mind eating:1. Frightener (it's a bug)2. Wolf, Dog, werewolf in wolf form ( not unless i'm really hungry)3. Mutants/mutated knights (not sure about the taste)TW1 creatures I will refuse to eat with my life:1. Bandits , Mages, Scoiatael, Knights, Grandmaster, Azar and Professor (...)2. Barghest/Hellhound/Wraiths (Ectoplasm???)3. Necrophages (need i elaborate?)4. Vampires /Striga (")5. Drowned things (")6. Bloedzuiger (too much acid)7. Golem (it's mud)8. Kikimores and centipedes(as the journal says, they're disgusting)9. Basilisks (too poisonous)10. Zuegl (there last to be a line drawn SOMEWHERE)

Bear Grylls wouldn't approve that.

 

[e-ahmet.823]

I'd taste them all I think archespore/echinops would make good soup, must be careful about the human carcasses though.

Bear Grylls wouldn't approve that.

Yep, "it's a good source of protein, no matter how awful it tastes." xD

 

[vilgefortze]

Except for the mud golem. No protein in that.

Are you talking about the Dryads?
