Go to bed with Lambert is my fav option....

Molly i've killed it twice.

Lvl 14 (i think) wyvern (or forktail) pretty easy to kill, not a very powerful beast especially if you crossbow it when its flying so it crashes to earth.

Also if you go due north east from grans to the coast you will come across two level ??? wyverns and two monster nests. Tried to kill them and got 2 hit killed.

Also there is a griffin flying around east somwehere thats also level ??? will try and find it and post a screen so you guys know its location.

Just finished finding the barons wife and killing the fiend. Finished the ciri flashback where I had to kill the cockatrice and escape the wild hunt. Got to go to Novigrad or Skellige now so i've decided to head up north to Novigrad to get a few more levels.

Started a new playthrough. This time with a gamepad and on death march. Minimap is off so I can look around more. Exploration is the main thing, this time.

Found Blackwall (from Dragon Age) & some familiar veteran hanging around the bridge:

Didnt know the witcher universe had its very own lady gaga...

I just can not understand how in so huge game, where almost every detail seems to be refined and polished up, devs could leave controls on pc in current state (let alone on release date).

Would've loved to play TW3 as a member of the Scoi'atel or something. Geralt's boring, from personality to backstory to how the world reacts to him; there's some "omg hes mutant" but it doesn't go beyond some spitting and whatever, like, it can be totally ignored. He's like an observer to the world, no real motivation or belonging to anything. As a scoi'atel there'd be so much more stuff and agency and motivation to do things instead of just "I kill monsters guys."

I agree, they should've made Geralt a npc like Conan is in AoC, and let you as a player create your own member of the witcher school rising up through the ranks, like how skyrim let you create your own character- regardless that they were all "Dragonborn".

The amount of references in this game...

Just found a sky cell with a dead dwarf that has a disfigured face and Geralt says "shame he didn't know how to fly."

(Epic sky cell though, the sea is literally within jumping distance and even if you hit the ground you'd probably break a leg at most)

He is a witcher, not a gigolo...

That's a little too much, I think.

Welp, I guess we could just use The Witcher 3 to illustrate the rest of our #tropesvswomen series because it includes all the sexist tropes!

In The Witcher 3 you get to play as Ciri for short segments but be warned enemies will yell nasty gendered insults at her while she fights.

Feminist Frequency ‏@femfreq  May 30
The Witcher 3 does to Ciri what Arkham City did to Catwoman. Thugs yell “bitch” and “whore” and sexually harass both women as you play them.

Feminist Frequency ‏@femfreq  May 30
Also the "it's realistic for enemies to sexually harass female characters” excuse is nonsense in fantasy games filled with ghouls & wraiths.

Feminist Frequency ‏@femfreq  May 30
Dear gaming industry: If you want to appeal to women maybe consider not having your game yell “bitch" and "whore” at us while we’re playing.

Enemies in Witcher 3 yell gendered insults at the playable female character but insults thrown at the male lead are decidedly not gendered.

Enemies call Geralt “freak” & “mutant’ due to fictional prejudice against magic. When they call Ciri “cunt” it’s rooted in real life sexism.

Games like The Witcher 3 use sexism & sexual violence for “gritty" world-building, presenting it as regrettable but natural and inevitable.

Feminist Frequency ‏@femfreq  3h3 hours ago
In fact, Witcher 3 is a particularly egregious example of this problem. The game repeatedly uses brutal sexual violence as window dressing.

Feminist Frequency ‏@femfreq  3h3 hours ago
If fantasy fiction is serious about addressing oppressions like sexism then the narrative should be focused on struggles around that issue.

I admit, this rustles my jimmies. So much fucking stupidity on so many different levels.

That isnt too wrong doe, but that is the point. That the people are intolerant against absoultely everyone. It represents racism, nationalism, anti-religious messages, sexism etc etc. If they removed all that, the world would be Candyland.

I present you: politically incorrect bandits.
