>Kills random drunkards with wooden spoons.

Yeah, "Greatest" villain of all time.

>Standing on the moon

You magnificent bastard!

conquering the world is for fags anyway

hes very good, he actually feels like a real threat like he could very, VERY easily kill geralt at any time he pleases

plus hes an eloquent bastard

So what exactly was Gunter and what was his endgame? There had to be a goal besides fucking around with peasants.

He was a complete fucking cunt.
Impressively done villain.

DUDE FAUST LMAO

Not really

Thats not Marche

The equivalent of the devil in the witcher universe.
Gather as many souls as he can while having fun doing so.

He's the devil and fucking around with people is his thing.

Those were great too the first time you meet them. They were so strange and the threat was not clear, it's way more scary than big elves with huge weapons and flashy powers.

He's more like a force of nature than a direct villain, genuinely absolutely perfect portrayal of the devil.

The entirety of Velen is a complete classic. I will remember it for a long time.

Shame it takes a big shit afterwards

He's not the Devil, he's a kind of Crossroads Demon.

Is the Stephen King reference intentional or accidental.

...

Probably intentional but with no deeper meaning. I mean where there even any similarities between Walter and Gunter besides the name?

Yuna from BoF4 is still the most repulsive and genuinely evil video game villain.

>I mean where there even any similarities between Walter and Gunter besides the name?
Besides the otherworldly, demonic mysticism, charismatic trickery type of stuff?

Both are just different takes on age old tricksters. It's more fair to say that both draw from the same source than to say that one drew from the other. Besides, Polish people don't read Stephen King.


I honestly think the name might have been a coincidence.

>is this generic rip off from an old movie/series the greatest villain of all time

Witcherfags would literally praise this games combat, oh wait. They already do.

>Villain

I loved hating her

It's Shodan desu

He's a pretty shit demon desu.

>rip off from an old movie/series

underrage pls

That's a really shitty drawing of Leviathan, did they even read the book?

Given how often they reused faces for NPCs in this game I'd be willing to pass most of those off as coincidence.

yes

>character that's all over western folklore
>"from an old movie/series"
What are you trying to do

>Finish HoS
>Still run into the children chanting his song

It's never not spooky.

They don't re-use faces for major characters important to the story.

>go to the crossroads to meet him
>children sitting by the corner singing it
>meditate until midnight for him to show up
>those little shits are still there singing it

Are the Witcher expansions meant to be played after the main game? I stopped playing at Skellige and I'm tempted to do an entirely new game

They can be played after though the best order is completing 90% or so of the main game, then doing HoS before jumping back and finishing the main story and then heading into BaW.

It doesn't really matter when you play, I played HoS when I got to the recommended level for it.

Nah Dr. Robotnik was was better

Ya gotta be at least level 30, which would mean just after Kaer Morhen at the very soonest.

>do you help a total asshole only because the devil wants his soul, or do you side with the devil?
>do you help the evil spirit and release it, knowing it will wreck chaos across the land, or do you side with the witches who eat children among other things?

See, this is exactly why w3 sucks, you are supposed to pick the lesser evil, whereas the real Geralt would choose to not make that choice in the first place.

Okay cheers, I will do a new game then. Since I've also got shit like the DLC to do

>do you help the evil spirit and release it, knowing it will wreck chaos across the land, or do you side with the witches who eat children among other things?

Obviously you side with them and kill the evil spirite because two out of the three end up dead anway with the third running away.

You forgot to mention the unique dialogue at the start of NG+.

Intentional.

Heart of stone should be played towards the end of the main story or after you finish it. Blood and wine should definitely be played after you finish the main story. They both have many interesting lines of dialog if you play them earlier than intended though.

David Beckham isn't an asshole though, Gaunter robbed him of all his good emotions as part of the trick.

He has.....A Heart of Stone.

Also Geralt can't choose to not get involved due to you know, the magical brand that will probably do some really bad shit if he doesnt pay Gaunter back.

Gerlat absolutely would make a choice, because he's doing it for Ciri and he'd do anything for her

In character he'd not free the spirit and then kill the witches which is largely what he does

>two out of the three end up dead anway with the third running away
You dont know that when making the original choice.

Required watching

>David Beckham isn't an asshole though
Have you even played the game?
He was a complete asshole BEFORE he made the deal with the devil. Said deal was the result of the fucked up life he led.

That watching could not be any less required.

Stop shilling you fuck.

I was terrified of him honestly. He was obviously way more powerful than anything anyone in the Witcher universe could have handled. The only reason Geralt survived is because he has a set of rules so things don't get too boring eternally reaping souls.

Where are all these characters that rip off Faust? I certainly would like more stuff to rip off Faust.

>the real Geralt would choose to not make that choice in the first place.

You are perfectly capable of roleplaying Geralt like that

The Gentlemen from red dead redemption.

He's so powerfull he has to come up with his own rules to make it more fun.

He's a bandit raider who gets into bar fights. So what?

That's literally what all Skelligers are. It's not like people could live comfortably working in telemarketing.

He's the devil who plays a lot of games and follows a very strict set of rules for those games, possibly to avoid the boredom of always cheating or taking the easy route

>make me rich
>give you 5000 coins
>have 15000+ already

it's like he's giving me pocket change, well, I was just seeing what he gave you for his soul anyway

>It's another Witcher shitposting thread

So which one is the lesser evil Sup Forums?

stay ignorant then

>That moment in B&W when his theme kicks in.

>they cut out the part of the game where you actually defeat him

what the fuck

So you missed the part where he was born into a wealthy family with a widely-known name?
Too bad he was an idiot and ruined it all.

>implying God would let the devil just go around and muder people to eat their souls on a whim

Neither.
Only The Path matters.

It's not a "whim", the people make their own choices to the Devil. Fits quite well.

Their wealth was entirely sustained by raiding. That's how they originally became wealthy.

I'm talking to you like a decent person so i don't know why you are taking that shitposting tone with me.

We have a legend in Poland called Pan Twardowski
>According to an old legend, Twardowski was a nobleman (szlachcic) who lived in Kraków in the 16th century. He sold his soul to the devil in exchange for great knowledge and magical powers. However, Twardowski wanted to outwit the devil by including a special clause in the contract, stating that the devil could only take Twardowski's soul to Hell during his visit to Rome – a place the sorcerer never intended to go. Other variants of the story have Twardowski being sold to the devil as a child by his father.

>With the devil's aid, Twardowski quickly rose to wealth and fame, eventually becoming a courtier of King Sigismund Augustus, who sought consolation in magic and astrology after the death of his beloved wife, Barbara Radziwiłł. He was said to have summoned the ghost of the late queen to comfort the grieving king, using a magic mirror. The sorcerer also wrote two books, both dictated to him by the devil – a book on magic and an encyclopedia.

>After years of evading his fate, Twardowski was eventually tricked by the devil and caught not in the city, but at an inn called Rzym (Rome in Polish). While being spirited away, Twardowski started to pray to the Virgin Mary, who made the devil drop his victim midway to Hell. Twardowski fell on the Moon where he lives to this day. His only companion is his sidekick whom he once turned into a spider; from time to time Twardowski lets the spider descend to Earth on a thread and bring him news from the world below. Other version of the story says that the devil should say Twardowski's name in Rzym and no one knew his name. When the devil was reminded of that he dropped him.

it was intentional and made the game better
he manages to fuck off even in manga

>post yfw Beckham gets btfo

Anyone hwre know what the other devil options do? Like fast as the wind and neverending wine glass?
All I know is that after MM gave me 5000 coins when I asked to be rich, I reloaded and got 2 kickass swords instead.

Never be thirsty gives you auto-refilling alchohol for alchemy. Fast as the wind gives you unique saddle for roach that turns him into a black demon horse thing.

It's best to just save beckham and get his unique sword.

...

Sounds similar to Faust

He's called Polish Faust for a reason.

It gives you either unlimited food or unlimited alcohol or the best saddle in the game

Ultimately I don't actually like it because it feels like turning on cheat mode.

This is the best video game villain
inse--e--ect

I liked how he gave the old professor a daughterfu and then took her away simply because the said professor had nothing dear that Gaunter could have taken from him previously.

The Path if bullshit.

He's just Walter O'Dim from The Dark Tower.

>Polish people don't read Stephen King.
But that's false. King is huge in Poland.

>Geralt would choose to not make that choice in the first place.
The short stories literally revolve around Geralt choosing the lesser evil wherever he goes even though he tries his best not to get involved. What are you talking about?

>unlimited alcohol
I've never ever once run out of alcohol for alchemy and I use a lot of potions and meditate often to resupply. Guess autistically looting every possible container in RPGs pays off

same
I dont even know which alcohol hes using while meditatin

>villain
no

>beckham
Did I miss a meme?

...

>tfw i didn't pick a reward because i didn't want anything to do with him

White Orchard>Velen>Novigrad>HoS>Skellige>Ciri Shit>Endgame>BnW

Perfect order but you might need a mod that changes secondary quest EXP.
