Been playing the series for the first time -- why is Gerald such a massive simp? Seems unrealistic for the time the games are meant to be analogous to.

Because he gets to have sex with the fictional fantasy world equivalents of Miss Universe, Sydney Sweeney or whoever the frick is considered to be the hottest woman on earth
>what is chivalry
Anyway, it's because he knows women are like children and need extra care
>Chivalry
The entire game is Gerald bowing down saying "yes ma'am" to a list of girlbosses or trying to appease to them otherwise they throw some tantrum. The women unironically tax the fun out of this game
Geralt and Siri are up there with the worst written characters ever in a video game.
My theory is that Geralt appeals to virgins. It would very much explain the weird popularity of this game.
My theory is that you are gay who's dad didn't love you enough(or too much).
It’s ok anon it’ll happen one day
I'm happily married with kids you fat gay
i own the first one for pc and never got to play it because the 2nd disc is defective
i even tried to pirate the 2nd disc(the bonus disc) and it still wouldn't work
Dunno. I've yet to play any other game than the first one, years ago. Shani is hot, Merigold is trash. That black haired woman in the sequels seems garbage as well.
I thought the same thing when I played the first one. I also knew that ultimately by the third game it was between Triss and Yennifer who's a pussy whipper, so I just stuck with Triss from the first game.
He's better in the first 2. He's dull as a pile of rocks in this unless you pick dialogue which makes him more charismatic or assertive
Just do a no sex run
he's only a simp if you choose to, and even then he's not, he's just hidden the fact deep down inside him that he wants to be a shining knight
Is it just me, or does this game just drag on and on? It's not like the story is compelling or the gameplay is amazing, but it takes forever to go through even just the main quests. I just got to Skellige, and I am struggling to push through to the end.
Same. I just left Skellige, and my superfan friend tells me I'm not even half way through the main story. It's hard to find the strength to boot the game up anymore.
You LEFT Skillige, and you're not even half way through? Perhaps I should drop the game now instead of wasting more time on it in hopes of it getting better. Can any superfan on Ganker try to convince me to finish the game?
>Can any superfan on Ganker try to convince me to finish the game?
Just drop it, moron.
You don't have force yourself to play something.
This.
If you don't like it, don't play it. Simple ass.
But I spent money on it, so I would like to learn to enjoy it if possible. That is, I would like to understand what makes others enjoy this snoozefest of a game. Is it the combat? Is it the story? Is it the atmosphere? Just trying to learn others' perspective, yaknow?
I spent on it as well, but there is no point in trying because you wouldn't understand why they like it.
T. actually spent 5 times trying to play the game over the year before quitting
learn what sunk cost fallacy means moronic zoom zoom.
If the game didnt capture you at first there’s no point playing it further.
bro im about to sail for skeliige but first i have to find 20 tons of gold for some homosexual that had a moron guard it.
honestly the only good content so far has been the red baron quest. nothing has come close to that so far
sorry but you're probably gonna be disappointed then. I like everything up to the end of act 2, but ill admit skellige is the weakest and shortest part of that main quest, they cut a lot of stuff for time.
If you don't care about the main quest though there's still a lot to do, just bear in mind you really only have to sail on the water like twice, the rest is optional.
frick man, this is my 3rd time installing this game & longest I've stuck with it too.
the story is shit
>you got info on ciri?
>yea, but you gotta fetch this first
rinse and repeat, FRICK
Only the baron holds ciri info hostage and you said that was the best part? You're right that the others are fetch quests too but those people dont know shit, you're doing shit for them so you can get to the people who DO know, and they just tell you the info once you find them. not gonna hold it against you to think fetch quests are gay but what you said is literally only true about the baron and the crones.
you're right, and that just makes it even worse
>this homosexual might know someone that knows someone the may know where ciri is. let me waste 30min-1hrs on a hunch
I don't fully agree with you but I will b***h about one thing that aligns with that. It is absolute bullshit that the only way geralt knows to look for dandelion is by seeing it in a damn dream. The baron, crones, and to a lesser extent skellige are all places you go to because there were reports leading you there. Then you get to novigrad to ask triss, and she doesnt know shit and sends you to take a nap with someone to "maybe" find the answers. deus ex machina bullshit.
do the crones or that spirit in the trees ever make some kind of return in the game?
the crones yes, the tree spirit no
The Witcher 3 should just be called Bloody Baron because that’s literally the only part of the game anyone gives a shit about.
well then with that said im just uninstalling now. everything else up to this point has been tedious shit
frankly you should just start a new game with just the blood and wine dlc, the map that dlc takes place in is way cooler than any other part of the game and the story is better too, even if its short.
luckily i do have the dlc, so i might just give that a shot.
Good idea anon. It doesn’t improve and I regret playing as far as Skellige.
don't listen to the other anons. It gets better. Do some of the side quests and witcher contracts. A lot of them have multiple endings.
It's a boring overrated game, the combat is ass and the story gets really muddled and shitty as soon as you get past the bloody baron so you can't even rely on that. Way too much of the game is devoted to stupid fricking bullshit with Dandelion and the skellige stuff isn't much better. If they had ironed out some of the boring parts and made the combat remotely interesting it would be a way better game but at that point it's basically a new game, it's fundamentally broken and I don't get why people are ok with it. It's like the GTA games and bethesda games, these games are fricking BAD the core gameplay is awful from the basic movement/controls to the combat they're just so fricking poor but people always give them a pass and act like they're the pinnacle of gaming. I don't know if it's just stupid normalgays who don't know any better or what but it's so annoying, it's rare you even see anyone talking about the gameplay of those games because there's nothing good to find there.
It’s baby’s first RPG for a lot of people.
Calling it an RPG is an overstatement
for me its atmosphere, the story until act 3, and the 2 dlcs with BaW being my favorite.
I also enjoy the combat but I cant call it good, its broken in many ways and piss easy a lot of the time.
you just have shit taste, you can take your eceleb opinion and shove it up your ass 🙂
I remember I left my first save at halfway through the main story, then I restarted it and felt really comfy that time so I finished it without too much effort. But the last third does drag on somewhat yeah
I was almost the same way. I was wowed a few times at first, but stopped playing at about crookback bog, didnt hook me. Gave it another try a few months later and played non-stop to the end of BaW. Game is heavily flawed though, I wish they cared enough to fix stuff themselves and not just rely on mods to fix it for them.
witcher 3 was one of the first "it gets good 50 hours in" games
Getting Manticore gear 50 hours into the game turned the combat from subpar into the 1812 Overture.
You forgot to post your .webm along with the ctrl-c/ctrl-v text, moron-kun. It's one think to say you don't like something, but calling other people bad names for enjoying things you don't is peak dumbness.
Stop liking bad things, stop being gay, stop making homosexual posts, stop existing.
Are you doing every interrogation mark? Because otherwise the game gets done in 20 hours tops.
Some people don't have free time, so they lose their fricking minds over relaxing in a game. Some people also have shit computers, so they get analpained when bullshots aren't the same that their toasters are projecting. Some people can't follow an interconnected story, so some things seem incredibly convoluted to them. Then they lash out at others because they have no Prep H for their analpain.
Is that the griffin set? I'm running with it right now. keke
It is! I know that a lot of people criticize igni-spam in this game, but those people criticizing it clearly never played Witcher 1, where you could get strong enough via Raven's Armor of the Elves (or whatever) and stamina increases and spam AoE igni to kill fricking everything. That's a great feeling, and in W3, igni at full power is a DOWNGRADE compared to W1 igni. But it's still fun enough for my purposes, until I get Manticore and can comfortably spam bombs.
priscilla might be the prettiest girl in the game its a shame you cant bed her.
Really? Here are the main quests in Skellige
>Destination: Skellige 16 Novigrad
>The King is Dead – Long Live the King 16 Kaer Trolde
>Echoes of the Past 17 Ard Skellig
>Missing Persons 15 Lofoten
>Nameless 14 Freya's Garden
>The Calm Before the Storm 14 Lofoten
>A Mysterious Passenger - Larvik
The first, the fourth and the last are all done in two minutes (they are basically dialog while searching for Ciri). What's exactly the "drag" here? The other are just normal quests.
novigrad to big
skelige to big
sailing to slow
velen to big
just make a smaller game or make fast travel easier and more convenent
>Seems unrealistic for the time the games are meant to be analogous to.
Much of the setting is. The characters were written like new atheists transported to a medieval setting
men have always been giant simps.
Chivalry and gentlemanliness were the status quo for a very long time
Apparently zoomers consider that gay now
>simp
Why are you such a massive homosexual? Are you even capable of enjoying stories without thinking in terms of discord / twitch buzzwords?
It's just bait. A little better than usual, since there haven't been many threads for witcher from this angle, but still pretty obvious bait.
Pretty much anybody who starts a thread about a fictional character being a simp is bait. That's a buzzword most people don't even toss around anymore, so you know it's an out-of-practice oldgay doing it, too.
I have not read the books but I've been told he's the same way in those, so its consistent in that regard. Obviously since the games have player agency you can just choose to not be that way.
I never pick yen or triss when I play the 3rd one, and the second the mod tools come out Im going to create a sex scene for when ciri shows up at the very end in their stead.
Witcher 3 having too much content is like that "too many notes" scene from Amadeus.
Come on thats a poor comparison. Take away a note from a Mozart piece and its worse for it, but Witcher 3 could live without a few ?s in sellige.
>why is Gerald such a massive simp?
>Been playing the series for the first time -- why is Gerald such a massive simp?
Unironic answer from someone who's read all the books and played all the games - Geralt has a bad case of mommy issues.
you need to understand that the sorceresses Geralt simps for are magically enhanced and enchanted to be the greatest sex goddesses the world has to offer. Where as the regular women of the world are dirty, filthy, sick, diseased, teethless, gross peasants with the hair falling out
I've had sex with a few sorceresses in my time, and I can confirm they know how to use dolphin veganal lubricant during sex. I nearly died from having multiple orgasms. I had to be hooked up to a saline solution for three days at one point because we screwed in a shed on a hot summer's day and I couldn't stop spurting.
You act like moralgaygery is a modern invention
If you only had a very small subset of women who not only (mostly) accepted you but were also hot and potentially dangerous if you pissed them off you'd probably treat them well unless you were a stupid homosexual.
It's twilight from poland.
If you're playing through the series then it may actually be a spoiler to tell you, but there is a good reason.
I kekked hard at this
I always see Michael Cera there
I think everyone does. lol
>until I get Manticore and can comfortably spam bombs.
I didn't know that. Thanks.
>people criticize igni-spam in this game
Really? Interesting. I have the griffin set because I like the idea of signs, but during most of my fights what I'm really spamming is the dodge button or roll to avoid AoE attacks. I do quite the shallow use of signs, unfortunately. They are cool as frick though.
I strongly recommend learning to use yrden. You can use yrden twice with the griffon set, which is a huge amount of slow on enemies who enter your field. You'll be able to dodge easier, and igni will eventually ignite enemies every time so they stop in place themselves.
I'll try. I'm going to start Isle of Mists in a few minutes. It will come in handy soon during the battle of Kaer Morhen.
You'll be alright, then. At higher levels (NG+ range) you'll unlock DLC mutations and have enough points to fill out the Battle Trance Combat skills to really superpower your signs. Just play the game normally all the way through before you discover console commands.
Yeah, the skills section is a bit lacking right now. I'm level 27, which means I can clear most of the simple enemies easily, but without being able to really make use of additional fun stuff because of non-available slots (I have like 6 skill points to use). I think they are really meant for NG+ as you say. Anyway, what a great game.
Geralt has mommy issues because his mom abandoned him
>why is Gerald such a massive simp?
Because it works in his case.
He gives a genuine plain and simple answer to that in Skellige. At least it was the first time I heard it. It basically amounts to him always seeking a challenge or conflict. lol
Also I wouldn't say he is much of a simp at all. He gives the vibe of getting loads of asses when not close to Yennefer, it's just that the game shy away a bit from it.
if he doesnt smash pussy every 5 days he dies
Yenn>Shani>POWER GAP>Triss
