  1. I don't want to spark anything with the whole Triss and Yen thing. But, I don't think the first game really counts for story stuff. When people say Triss manipulated Geralt in the first game by not telling him about Yen or Ciri I always think "well , neither did any of the Witcher who knew about them. "
    I think with a remake on the horizon we'll get a clearer idea about what CDPR had in mind for Geralt's resurrection

  12. THANK YOU! I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Yennefer! She's terrible in both in the game and the books, but well written in both! I'm so glad that Blood & Wine provided an optional romantic and non-romantic options.

  14. I want to watch this, but I haven’t played the game yet. I feel like watching a 2 hr video would spoil a lot of the experience, no matter how careful you are.

  16. Can you tell me what you mean at 1:51:00 when you say to use the steam deck graphics configuration that comes with the game. I have a steam deck, and booted up the game last night, and I didn't see any specific steam deck graphics configuration. In fact, the game ran at 10 fps until I switched it to the "low" in game graphics setting, which boosted it to just above 30fps.

  17. I was interested in your Triss v Yen section.

    I think a lot of this depends on whether or not you have read the books. Most (obviously not all) people who have read the books will pick Yen. Triss barely appears in the books and umm she doesn't really shine as a character to trust in the books (much worse than she appears in the earlier games) – conversely Yen actually allows herself to be physically tortured to save Geralt and nearly always puts Geralt's and Ciri's wellbeing ahead of her own, she really does think of Ciri as her daughter having trained her from when she was a small child. There is a lot more than that of course. The Netflix tv show didn't do her any favours and most of that rubbish wasn't in the books at all.

    And I agree that both women are not the nicest of people in the games – I reckon most players would pick Shani over both of them if they had the option to.

    Personally I quite like Triss in this game – but I read the books. I can see past Yens prickly nature because a book is always going to provide more insight than a game will.

    I do like that the game provides more than one option for romance and especially what happens if you are daft enough to romance both because it's comical.

    I loved this game and did 3 playthroughs over a number of years – you know I needed to work and eat and occasionally sleep 🙂 , and oddly its a game I pop into and spend an evening doing something there without – now – feeling any need to continue playing which is probably just as well if I wanted to do anything else for the following month.

    The DLC's – both of them – were superb. I still think this game was one of my favourite games of all time – and I'm ancient so have a lot of less enchanting games to compare it to.

  20. I think you summed it up pretty well overall, tho my overall opinion differs quite a lot. As someone who very rarely gets impressed by stories and quests in videogames, Witcher 3 didn't really impress to me on that front either. And when it comes to countless bad/undercooked systems in the game, clunky combat, enemy level system, open world providing no value besides few points of interest and much more, I can't help but be disappointed by the game overall, since the gameplay is so much more important to me than what Geralt is cooking.
