The Witcher 3: Freedom

[shadowmagus]

The biggest narrative drawback to the games is that you've spent two games with Triss in your corner. While Geralt had amnesia in the first game, and was actively looking for Yennifer in the second, we had no time to create feelings towards her. The disconnect, for me, comes in where I don't feel was Geralt feels. I like Triss.

That and red hair > all

We had 7 books with Yennefer. Triss was a big character in 2 only.
So she has a lead.

Most gamers haven't read the books and have only played the games, but as someone who did read some of the books they don't exactly make Yennefer likable at all. She's kind of a *****.

First game I had Shani. Was quite the disconnect for Game 2.

Also, I slept with Yen on the unicorn, but I now regret it. I hope I can ditch her later. I already confessed Triss my love.
I even ditched the Skellige warrior woman.

 

[Spushkin]

Shani ftw.

I was moved when she sent Geralt the letter about how he'd be a great dad to their demon-possessed step-child.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Yeah, joke gets lost on me because I can't really figure out what's on the last panel.

I'm guessing you can finally jump off balconies.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Except Triss's voice sounds like it just staggered drunkenly out of a college dorm.

I keep waiting for her to say, "Like, omigawd, totally not cool!"

Yeah, I know, but still... redheads man.

And speaking of voice acting... Anyone know who did the voice for Keira Metz? Because she sounds extremely familiar.

Or Roach will appear and fuck things up.

What are you talking about, Roach is the boss. What other game horse would just randomly stick its head inbetween two characters during a cutscene conversation? That horse has zero fucks to give about drama -- you gotta respect that.

 

[Darth_Payn]

So i'm guessing either two things...

1) Player attempts to kiss her, but instead the prompt makes him jump off the balcony & die.
2) He purposely avoided kissing her because screw that, i'd choose to die instead.

Last panel wasn't fully clear lol.

That's how it goes sometimes in this strip. They make jokes that only the players of the game they're covering will get.
That said, showing Geralt instantly die from a 1 story drop would have been a better punchline.

You name a horse "Roach", don't expect a lot of respect. 'S all I'm sayin'.

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...

That's exactly the way I felt about it, all I wanted to do was shack up with Triss, then I told her I didn't know how Yen was and for some reason the game interpreted that as Geralt being caught up in her mystique (rather than her NOT TELLING ME A GOD DAMN THING) and Triss thought things were over now Yen is back.

My best cutscene photobomb so far was a toll bridge where two people were stopping me and only one was involved in the conversation. During the tense negotiations approximately ten Drowners casually walked between Geralt and the other guy, utterly murderised the bystander and then ran away as fast as they could as soon as the conversation ended.

I'm not even mad, it was great.

Hmmm? You don't lock into one relationship as easy as that. Geralt and Triss broke of before, after Witcher 2 and before Witcher 3, because Geralt got all his memory back at the end of Witcher 2 and remembered Yennefer basically. So that's not because of that one dialogue answer. You can still get back together with her.
Just one tipp: Don't try to date both Yennefer and Triss both.

I'll respect him when he stops cockblocking Geralt from mai waifus.

Don't need to see a horse's arse when I'm chatting up Triss goddammit.

 

[Adeptus Aspartem]

Really? You guys missed the joke?

Go and read the OP too. That should help it.

JUMP AROUND!

Haha! That's funny I just jumped into the Witcher story line now never played any of the other games or read the books I just met Yennefer about an hour ago and I said the same thing, she's kinda a *****. But then again I'm a big fan of Bulma Briefs so Bitchy isn't much of a problem for me XD

 

[FirstNameLastName]

I'm surprised so few got the joke. I've only played the Witcher 1 and I still guessed what it was about.

 

[Elfgore]

Yeah! Hit it and quit it, brother!!!! I mean... woooo! We can finally jump!

Pack it up, pack it in

Get up, stand up, (Come on!)
Come on throw your hands up,
If you've got the feeling,
Jump across the ceiling

I say we continue this until we get the full lyrics in this thread (unless the mods put a stop to it)
