One silly question.
Why my avatar always "crash"?
I want to post here with Hans Landa face =/

It's called a lute. A predecessor to the modern guitar.
Sorry, not laughing at you for not knowing, but imagining Dandelion with an ukelele just cracks me up. />/>

Exactly, that's what I mean. Imagine Dandelion killed a dickfaced gorilla with a 10 hits combo - 9 hits by his ... lute and a final one with a kick on its dickface. It's literally sooo hilarious. I'm gonna be so wrecked. />

Aww now you can't even find your face (avatar).

Yea, Geralt is a pretty bad arse, but I hope he could tell more 'naughty' jokes.

 

[username_3594660]

Ha. I don't think it happened in my game. Will they have a good time after this conversation? (come on, you know what I mean )

It is actually dialog that make 'good time' impossible, because even tho Ves is tomboy and hard she still wants to be seen as woman.

Don't know anymore, my last playthrough with Roche is some months ago by now.

There is only 1 thing that bugs me about TW. Ugly NPCs.

You rarely see a common/unimportant woman being beautiful in TW games. Let alone beautiful men. />/>/> You can't find a single good looking NPC male. I understand that its about the game's lore and all, but seriously, you can make someone beautiful and still be ok with the lore.

And the argument of ''they are common people, they need to be ugly'' is silly. Especially that thing about David Beckham lmao David was a common guy once too. He wasn't popular since birth. But he was always good looking. And also other ''beautiful'' famous people. (Brad Pitt comes to mind, he was a chauffeur for strippers, he used to move refrigerators and also used to wear a fucking chicken suit to attract people to a restaurant or something before he became an actor XD if that isn't common, then i don't know what it is)

I am pretty much happy with everything else that the game offers.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I remember Carrie from Flotsam, Spark and Mona from Vergen, and a some witches in Loc Muinne whose names I can't remember. Not all NPCs were ugly. And the blue stripes had a bunch of fit guys, if that matters.

Additionally, I hope CDPR doesn't add a bunch of "good looking" men, this is not a JRPG.

I didn't say they have to be ugly, because they are common people, i said they look like common people in my opinion, they look "normal", not outstanding and being normal is not ugly by my definition ^^
I actually like natural faces with flaws even more than just "a perfect one".

Like Olivia Wilde, i know many men which just can't stand her face because of her square jaw, but i like it and that's just my humble opinion.

The NPCs look fine, they ain't ugly nor outstanding beautiful, that's what i mean by "common", simply normal.


I know, most stars did pretty much normal jobs before being stars, but we shouldn't compare our society with the witcher universe, especially when magic is better than any makeup or photoshop

damn reply, wanted to edit :s

Have you heard the song Pretty Girl Rock? 'Don't hate me coz I'm beautiful~ '

Oh, and i also want to add another thing that is a ''problem'' with TW2. The last act is rushed. Too rushed. While i understand that is because Loc Muinne is in political tension and things must be done fastly, they could have added some more quests or maybe made the main quest longer.

But this won't be a problem anymore since they are removing chapters for TW3, but just saying anyway...

I took it as a pun on Tolkienism.

Too lazy to re-write the majority of this post above. I agree with nearly everything. Liked features may be summarized - everything story-related, artistic style and combat. For me combat is OK, I did not rave about it, but it was moderately enjoyable. Though one point - with cheating roll ability, it is way too easy. But hey, sometimes it is good.

To add to dislikes:

- empty world, no animals of any kind
- some locations are just a web of corridors
- no daily routines for NPCs
- no variety of ambient dialogues or actions - people say and do the same damn thing
- too many loading screens (when entering buildings or go through the gate)
- no proper jumping or climbing, just press a key when prompted
- weird level design - sometimes Gerald is unable to step over a branch, too many invisible walls
- GPS and quest markers. In a game praised for its story I would prefer to get directions from NPCs
- no ambient dialogue options for most NPCs
- some high fantasy crap - our "holier then thou" Jeanne D'Arc Saskia, fight for freedom, brotherhood and equality crap (I hate Iorweth path), I would prefer more of a Game of Thrones kind of story, where everyone is morally ambiguous, and fight for a self-interest

The common men in TW2 are all fine and varied - some are fat, others skinny, ugly, pimply, handsome, etc.

BUT, the women are not. All of the young ones have a perfect body frame, great racks and beautiful (often flawless) faces and hands. Look at the attachment. All of the so called "normal" peasant girls in the game look along these lines. Now, could someone please tell me how this looks like an average peasant girl? I have to note that, in TW2, they are depicted much much better than in other games.

On the other hand, the old women are all fat and incredibly ugly hags.

There is a very lengthy topic here on the forum discussing this matter.

I can confidently say that there isn't a single ugly young woman in either game.

EDIT: Here is the topic I mentioned earlier: http://en.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?/topic/28237-women-of-the-witcher-contains-spoilers

 

[Kallelinski]

So, Chewbaccas of Kings says they look okay-ish.

I say they look normal.

Now you say, they looked too good.

Quite a dilemma here

 

[colibrie]

I'm more concerned how the common elven faces look so much alike. And on the top of that they look like the one half is copy pasted on the other side to which makes the appearance looks unnormal..
