Hello one and all.
Yep, my first post here
My son made this account for me awhile back when I told him I may want to write something.
Bless him, he was afraid that if I said something that was taken wrong on his game account, that he didn't want his account (him) being blamed for or attacked for it...especially as it's his main account with the game on it from GOG.
To be honest, that bothered me.... not how he felt, but what he implied about the community here...that ppl would take this way beyond normal discourse and go off on each other...but yea, I've read allot out here and can fully understand what he initially said to me and why.
Anyway, to the above poster, my reason for my very first post.
To answer you directly, absolutely not.
I see nothing wrong with Triss needing my help, just like everyone else on the map needing my help.
For me, I kind of played this game at first with that feeling of...screw everything, I got to save my kid Ciri.
But, after plowing through the quests that needed to be done to progress the Main Story alone, I arrived in Skelliga.
My son came into the gaming room and said right off...how in heck did you get so far in the game so fast Dad ?
I responded that my instinct was to go save Ciri, so I did the main quests alone.
He responded with...., Dad...it's a game, not real life. Take your time, enjoy the multiple stories and do the quests...all of them.
It's not like Ciri will die if you take a week, a month or a year to get there.....and he chuckled at me and went on his way.
It says allot for the game developers in my opinion to be able to do something like this.
My wife credits the "heart felt feelings" this game pulls from players because it's more than a game, more like an interactive movie with the excellent CGI etc.
It really makes you feel for the characters as they have suddenly become more real and we the player are a part of their world.
In closing, I will add that we (my family) have read all the books and even the newest one (fan translation to ch 13) and loved the story.
I came into this game from the books hoping for Yen, but for reasons that are my own, I couldn't take her character, nor could my wife in fact.
My kid picked Triss and his girlfriend choose Yen..... which she says she now regrets according to my son.
Not sure that I will, but I may give it another play down the road as from what my kid has been saying, the Triss romance arc is all messed up due to being shoved into Yens arms no matter the choices made..... but he also pointed out that these things may get addressed.
But I do know from the arc I choose of going alone with Ciri....that I was a bit taken back by the obvious incorrect ways I was "shoved" into Yens path with little to no options to object and refuse (ie: necromancy, robbing Ermion's mask and inappropriate flirting after we broke it off not to mention several issues I had with how things played out at the Witchers home castle zone...pfft, Yen would have been sleeping either on those cots downstairs or out in the yard on the busted up bed...but she would not have had the run of my and my mates home...no chance)
Anyway people, be nice to one another.
You are all here for the same reason ultimately, to show your love for a truly great story and a great game developer who have done their best for us all.
My hat is off to them for one.
And they have my support and my families support in the gaming zone. I hope they continue to roll out products such as this one.
