Unlike the previous games, the third entry gives you sufficient freedom of movement to do things like jump off balconies. (And then die because the fall damage is absurdly punishing.)Bob_McMillan said:Yeah, someone please tell me what this is about.
Except Triss's voice sounds like it just staggered drunkenly out of a college dorm.Jandau said:Never much cared for Yennefer, even in the books. Always found Triss more interesting, and in the canon of the games she is the central love interest, so that black haired harpy can go take a walk through a magical portal to Fuckoffistan as far as I'm concerned. I'm just hoping the game will let me drop her bitchy arse at some point...
Well, the only reason Geralt was with Yennefer was because of a genie if I remember right.Jandau said:Never much cared for Yennefer, even in the books.

To be fair, Triss was moving in long before that. She had an affair with Geralt during one of his fights with Yennefer and has had a crush on him for a long time. Also, amnesia or no amnesia, Geralt generally didn't seem to mind having this hot redhead orbiting around him. By the time Witcher 2 rolled around, he was pretty much up to speed and happily "dating" Triss. Granted, it was because he thought Yen was dead, but the point is that Triss isn't taking advantage of Geralt. And yes, their relationship did grow more organically. And overall, I just found Triss to be a more relatable and likeable character in general, so I'd rather ship Geralt with her.esserin said:Well, the only reason Geralt was with Yennefer was because of a genie if I remember right.Jandau said:Never much cared for Yennefer, even in the books.

Triss, at least, that relationship grew organically.... Mostly by taking advantage of Geralt's amnesia to move in.

The Joke is that the search for Yennefer is the big narrative drive but players are more excited because they can finally jump over fences!blackrave said:It isn't issue of Witcher3 though
In Skyrim I made an effort to participate in important dialogues while standing on something.
There is nothing more heroic than accepting reward from Jarl while standing on table he is currently dining on.
Or was the joke that player can ditch Yennefer?
It's how the controls are wonky I think. On the PS4 and Xbone, the controls for interaction are bound to the same one for sprinting and jumping, so when the game would prompt Geralt to kiss, he'd instead extinguish a candle or jump off a cliff.Barbas said:That last panel's a bit dark, but I think I got the gist of it. Hopefully. If I didn't then aaah fuggit, I'll just appreciate the art.
So I thought that was the joke, like Gerald is supposed to be interested in Yennifer, but why the hell would the players be interested. That line about waiting 2 games is why I think that.Jandau said:Never much cared for Yennefer, even in the books...so that black haired harpy can go take a walk through a magical portal to Fuckoffistan as far as I'm concerned.
Okay, well that explains things. Still have The Witcher games on a wishlist so this went over my head.Zhukov said:Unlike the previous games, the third entry gives you sufficient freedom of movement to do things like jump off balconies.

Honestly, I do not think we are supposed to like Yennefer. In the books when character's are trying to remember her name they often say Guinevere. (Please don't tell me I need to explain this allusion). The whole series is incredibly cynical and likes to subvert classic tropes in many places. Geralt as knight in shining armor and Yen as his maiden is one of them. Their relationship is incredibly abusive and manipulative on Yen's part and Geralt comes across as a whipped puppy. Again, I think this is a deliberate subversion.Jandau said:To be fair, Triss was moving in long before that.

*laughs harder* I guess the joke had so many fences to jump over before it could makes any sense, then...SanguineAngel said:The Joke is that the search for Yennefer is the big narrative drive but players are more excited because they can finally jump over fences!blackrave said:It isn't issue of Witcher3 though
