Madness, wishes, questions & rambling
Hi
While trying to escape the mosquito vs human-war currently happening in my home I decided to try and figure out some upcoming decisions & clear up some things. Providing I survive themadness night off course. For those who want a visual; (if you don't: I put it in a 'spoiler' to easily skip to the actual Witcher stuff.)
Questions, wishes and stuff
I'm about to start The Isle of Mists at almost level 28 with Enhanced Feline Armor set (mostly because I like the look) & Superior Griffin swords because they fitted my level without clashing to much.
Q1: Is this a okay set to use now until I can upgrade it or do you recommended switching to another?
Q2: When will Keira & Letho arrive? I had thought they would already be at Kear Morhen by now...
Q3: Roach
At the beginning of the game I was a bit disappointed Roach wasn't a different color and/or breed, after all she(?) is the only horse Geralt owns and the only one to come when called. I felt like the horse that carried me towards monsters deserved to be recognizable by more than it's tack. There are so many relatively easy options that could have been used to give her a unique look (just to start: dun, palomino, paints, a 100 versions of markings...) At the very least I wanted the choice (bay, black or gray). Or perhaps a unicorn LOL
However now after everything, I got attached, loved the little interactions Geralt had with her and albeit silly, a bit impressed with how close she stays after 'bolting' (lets be honest; if a actual monster attacked a real horse you would probably need the freaking Hubble to see it again). I'm a bit reluctant trade her in for a 'gift' from Emhyr... Especially if that means leaving her with him...
WISH: I really want a 'pet' wolf, I was sooooo jealous when that Druid who brought rain to that one Skellige village had one that helped protect him against those foglets... Would have been awesome *sigh* :envy:
Q4 Schools
Each school has there own methods, strengths & such I presume. Cat school was fast & tend to end up a little crazy, lots became assassins if I read right?
Bear I'm thinking are usually very large? Maybe more brute-strength orientated? So what are the other schools specialties? Especially school of the Wolf, what makes them different from the others?
Q5 Endings: (In the quests I went with Yennefer for Geralt, Cerys as queen and both Keira & Letho should be alive)
Roche vs Dijkstra & Ciri; Empress or Witcher, I'm conflicted. On their own; I would kill Dijkstra on principle, he played us.
For Ciri & mostly for Geralt I would choose the Witcher end.
However if I choose both those options Emhyr wins the war, expands his country & continues to happily rule, right?
After I heard what he planned to do to Ciri and Yen & Geralt, I'm just not that motivated in making him happy...
Dijkstra as the new ruler I could live with if only Roche & Ves survive...
Dijkstra seems like the 'I'll help you if you do this or that for me - love you but kill you just ast easily' kind, Roche & Ves appear more the 'Ofcourse I'll help if I can' types. Is that right? They just seem like better friends for Geralt on first glance. How is Geralt's relationships with them in the books & previous games?
Does the chosen ending have any affect on HoS and B&W? Pro's & Con's...
Also I was thinking what happens if you kill Dijkstra, make Ciri a witcher 'thus a unchecked Emhyr' and he discovers she's still alive? That would not be good...
Will Emhyr start another war trying to keep expanding?
However unlikely if Dijkstra lives and Ciri becomes Empress, would he try to kill her too?
And the most disturbing if Ciri becomes Empress; would she actually rule or does she have to marry that creepy daddy's-boy that keeps showing up lately? Ugh I get such bad of vibes of him letting Dijkstra rule has actually started to become a real option...:areukiddingme:

A 52 year old beer-bellied construction worker is currently flying through the living room like madman with the vacuum under one arm, it's nuzzle in the other hand franticly trying to suck up the mosquito's trying to eat us alive.
He's swinging the thing around like it's a saber, tripping over the cable every few steps making this crazy cackling sound:victory:which is totally creepy, by the way :sofa:while my mother (46y) is standing on the sofa simultaneously shouting directions/locations & be-carefull-with-my-walls/lamp/vase/...- or-I'll-kill-you death threats at him waving a newspaper. But somehow at the same time they are arguing (screaming) about whose fault it is that the bugs got inside in those numbers, one dog is wisely taking shelter between the front wheels of my wheelchair (sort of) out of reach of my fathers *cough*epic battle moves & the vacuum cable while the beagle is snoring away on his back taking up most of the couch, legs wide open like a turkey about to be stuffed with his face under a pillow.
Not sure if he's just that brave or just that freaking lazy to not be deadly afraid of being castrated.:what2:

So on to business; This is the very first time ever I'm playing a Witcher game. My sister highly recommended to me after she 'played' it at her boyfriends which actually meant 'We (seriously; they sat with his arm around her) took a horse and went for a romantic ride at sundown (her exact words I swear) in a pretty world with spectacular views'. She threw the controller at his head (literally)each time she had to fight (he had a bump to prove it) but was convinced I'd love it.
My family... There are no words...
She was totally right though, I love it! It took me a while to find my way (I was pretty new to gaming in general & played shooters? before; The last of Us, Tomb Raider & Far Cry 4) but once I did I was hooked. I knew nothing about it, not about the 2 past; games or that there were books.

- Is there a difference besides color? Faster, 'braver', able to carry more items or a extra slots? Anything at all?
- And is there a consequence from just accepting the money?
- Is there anything in the books or previous game about Geralt's attachment/loyalty towards his horse?
- Can someone please tell what's up with Yennefer & her unicorn? I'm so curious...
