Now, I don't know what kind of tea you had this morning, but if I were you, I'd check the label carefully. Chances are it's not peppermint but some other plant from Nepal.Vilgefortze said:
@ stanpapusa and Vilgefortze Both of you Chill out if you both want to argue I would recommend you both take it pm Or at least debate it like two adults in open forum
If I understand this passage correctly, the game gives the players more experience for some types of playing the game, more than the others. Based on my experience with others games, it basically shows the player a path that he should play, and guides him on it. Furthermore, it punishes people who choose to play it differently by giving them less exp. While choosing the hard way, it may be felt that players deserve something better, in reality, any award (especially something as colorful as exp), discredits those who choose the easy one. I would say that the safest, and the best way to deal with this problem is to just let people play as they want it their own style. If this concept makes it, I'm afraid that the system of different ways to do the mission will end up just like the system of secondary weapons in TW, where they were just a useless junk. I think players should get awarded the same exp. for any way they complete the mission regardless of how they complete it (I get that failures are different), in order to have a REAL system of choices. It's kind of an old interview, but I decided that better late than never.
Btw, in the first game my Geralt got his ass kicked a lot in tavern fistfights, by drunks, brawlers and even a granpa or two. No superhuman strenght and cat like reflexes available in there. I guess taverns are built with some kind of anti-witcher kryptonite ;-)
Or maybe....just maybe... you genuinely suck at fistfighting.yayodeanno said:
In my opinion it was one of the easiest things in the game, second only to killing strays for talllow.
lol, I was trying to point out at one inconsistency in the game, who in his right mind would have the balls to challenge a Witcher at boxing? It worked well as a minigame though. Sometimes one has to turn off the nitpicking center of the brain to see the fun part of things . I didn't kill any strays btw, didn't feel like it was something a Witcher would do (me neither). Still managed to finish the gravediggers quest though.

You think people there are sober enough to foresee they're about to get their asses handed to them? Alcohol fills a man with overconfidence. Once I.......um...nevermind.
The only instances you fistfight outside a pub are:1. Another witcher2. A father defending his daughter's honor3. A guy who believes himself to be the grand-champion of boxingeasy to see why they fought.Demut said:
I wasn't talking about ability as much as I was talking about motivation. We aren't talking about people who ARE threats, but people who THINK they are threats. Drunkards are a perfect fit, as would be a father defending his daughter's honor and a man who's undefeated(in a manner of saying) up to that point. It's like gambling. People who go on a "winning streak" do not know when to stop and dump their winnings back in again and return paupers. Most of the men you fistfight in the game have been undisputed rulers in their own little worlds. They confidence is brimful and they are dumb enough to challenge a witcher. Is that so hard to imagine?There is also the fact that witchers are not gods. Men can, and have killed them. Leo Bonhart carried medallions of witchers of all three schools as trophies. He was no mage either. Witchers are strong and agile, yes. But they're not infallible.
Furthermore, few people have ever met a wicher and even fewer seen them in action. They're mostly known from old tales (in Geralt's age they've been decimated and their stronghold, Kaer Morhen, ruined, no more monster slayers are being made), villagers mention them to scare little children (behave or a witcher will take you!) and when they're around they don't meddle in the affairs of men. So it is possible that they're often considered as charlatans or just exterminators of particularly big rats, meaning they really don't impress or intimidate people that much with their presence - untill they're seen in action that is. (as in the Butcher of Blaviken tale) People should know better though.
Been a long time since I came to these forums. I'd posted a bunch of suggestions about plot and gameplay on the old threads that to my disappointment, it appears won't be implemented. Reposting a couple of those, my wishlist:Plot related:-Greater involvement of plot devices/characters such as the Wizards and the Witchers of other schools in the plot.-Greater involvement of familiar characters from the books besides Zoltan and Dandelion. Like Yarpen Zigrin, Stregobor, Mousesack and Mother Nenneke.-A story that spans more than just one country, or at least more than one city.Gameplay related:-Since we'll have a real mage(Triss) in our group, we should be able to have her use varied and powerful magic worthy of the books, spells that put Geralt's Signs to shame and not something like the cheap lightning spammed by her and the Salamandra mages in the first game.-Room for casual sexual encounters. Anyone who read the books will know Geralt isn't the sort to remain eternally faithful to one woman, though he may only truly love one. I can accept these one-time encounters having an effect on Geralt's relationship with Triss, but there's no need for them to be removed altogether, and in fact doing so would not be true to Geralt's character.Though these are all likely to remain wishlists at this point.
You are making big assumptions about the game as if Triss will be the main love interest.In case you haven't realised TW1 had a choice of who you liked so don't assume that CDPR will not have surprises.If CDPR made the game with only Triss as the main romance option i would take 2 points of the score i would give the game.There is not one chance in a thousand that CDPR will do such a big mistake.
I wasn't referring solely to Triss. What I mean is whoever Geralt's main love interest is, he should be allowed to have casual one-off sexual encounters with other women(priestesses, maids, whores et al), like he does in the books. Yes, if his love interest finds out it should affect their relationship, but it should not be banned altogether in favour of Dragon Age-style enforced fidelity.
In the saga, Geralt did have a hard time keeping the news of his "exploits" away from Yennefer. It'll actually be entertaining if they include some of that in the game.Mind you, Triss/Shani will be far less forgiving than Yennefer. After all, she had her own little "exploits" as well.
