>played through HoS twice
>both times I arrived into the village during the day when kids were singing this song while I started meditating to pass the time until the meeting
So was this scripted or a coincidence? I only realized on my second playthrough that eerie melody was the same song the kids were singing.
>tfw when you hear the soundtrack in the cursed spoon lady quest
She deserved to get cursed to be quite honest. She was wealthy as fuck, could've easily afforded to feed a vagrant at least once. Was she afraid word was going to spread or something?
>implying you don't do the same thing to bums
She was living alone in a secluded area and some vagrant happened to be nearby and asked for her help.
If I refuse to give it $ 2.07 in my pocket to the first person who asks for it, it isn't quite the same.
>my literal face
Wait what? Explain

>hmm, "the vagrant" definitely wasn't Gaunter o'Dimm
It is scripted.
I's exactly the same.
As if saying in as many words that the vagrant was a "mirror salesman" wasn't enough.
Is this game really worth a 60 hour romp? Need to turn off for a few days, seems like a decently lengthy game.
wish the actual main villan was half as good written.
>60 hours
heh.
But yeah it's definitely worth it, give it a shot.
He was great in Witcher 1
that he was.
I got 120 hours and I'm not a completionist.
it can be tiresome sometimes the combat can come over as a chore sometimes. It feels like an offline mmo at times, but it still is rather good id say.
>60h
>tfw at 320 and B&W left
Yeah.
>ywn exit your apartment with spare change in your pocket because you might get cursed
Anyone else who really wished this guy could get laid? I wouldn't care if it absolutely ruined Geralt's relationship with Shani but I really, really wish there was an option to get Volodimir laid (by ANY female). Feels like a real cop out to me.
I felt bad for him when O'dimm banished him. Sure he turned a bit dickish at the very end of the wedding but he did nothing wrong.
Except being a robbing, raping, bandit ofcourse.
It's either that or be turned into a horrible wight with spoon autism.
Nothing wrong with that, it was the 1200s after all.
That doesn't matter at atll when it comes to Geralt't agreement with his brother/him. He was supposed to get a "night of his life". Volodimir made a grave mistake writing that letter before receiving any action in the haystacks, it's though to imagine him partying without getting some plowing in the end.
Criminals are bad people no matter the age, and in the end.
It may not matter, but he did wrong, many things wrong, as you say, he shouldn't have written that after a dance but after a good fuck, he did that wrong too.
His a stupid criminal who died for it, I won't feel bad about him not getting laid one more time after the last.
>tfw I enjoyed B&W more than HoS
HoS was a better story but B&W is absolutely the better DLC. Fuckloads of content and gameplay additions. Plus CDPR did something genius in giving Geralt a French villa to retire to as their final addition. Such brilliant creators.
>His a stupid criminal who died for it
Correct, but I still feel it's a clear flaw the game developers simply failed to think about;
>get Volodimir laid, gaining 0 for Geralt
>Shani hates you now
I simply cannot comprehend why this wasn't an option. They would have to record about 5 minutes more dialogue to their 11 658 minutes (asspulled number btw)?
Jesus the tumblr is strong in this one.
Not as strong as your newfaggotry user.
Doesnt Geralt say in the end that he won't stay there?
The duchess hates you and the place doesn't bring good memories.
>Criminals are bad people no matter the age, and in the end.
the tumblr thing would be to say the opposite of this
Haven't gotten to the end yet but it doesn't change the fact that they did it so the player can go to their villa in a very pleasant environment with their wines and slaves and so forth.
this only happens if you fuck up and get a bad ending, or if you're a trissfag
Yes it does.
Geralt doesn't retire there, it'd go against his entire character.
The villa was only there to appeal to the skyrim fags who complained for 1 full year on the forums that they wanted their own house.
I've gotten both endings. If Anna dies Geralt says the place doesn't bring him good memories, if she lives she fucking hates him and he doesn't feel welcome in Beauclair.
None of his friends are there either. Only Yen.
It's there, user. You can play the game (you clearly haven't) and go see it. They made a fantasy retirement villa for him to live in, regardless of what was written for his character.
>If she lives she fucking hates him
unless you help both sisters reconcile
Nigger I've played through the base game 4 times and 3 both expansions. Fuck off.
160 hour playthrough not including learning the lore from the books/what happened in Witcher 1 and 2. Did mostly everything except for the stupid witcher armors in base game and POIs in skellige
You can fucking google it you dumbfuck
Google what?
I know the villa exists dumbass.
>I've played it a million billion times!
>has no idea what's in the DLC
Jesus christ you are full-blown retarded
You're either samefagging or you think the discussion is about the existence of the villa.
Hint - it isn't
You're wrong. Anna doesn't have to hate you if she lives, you can get a happy ending if you keep pushing Syanna towards forgiving her sister.
Eh, the proper term is "raider", thank you and no, its never implied that he raped anyone.
I never did that ending because Syanna will just end up killing her sister in the future anyway, and I'd rather protect the Duchess.
Plus Syanna is a retarded child.
If you acknowledge that it exists, then you have no argument.
>Syanna will just end up killing her sister in the future anyway
Nice headcannon
>Syanna will just end up killing her sister in the future anyway
what
how fucking autistic can you be?
reconciling the sisters and retiring in your vineyard with yennefer is the best and comfiest possible ending you can get
>actually believing Syanna can be "reconciled"
How fucking gullible can you get user?
The discussion was about WHY thr e villa was introduced you illiterate retard. At least bother reading the reply chain back to the original post before vomiting your shit.
>immense hatred building up for decades
>seriously believes an apology from anna is enough
Anna tried previously, it didn't work. What guarantees do I have that Syanna isn't just faking it to kill her later? She's a literal psychopath.
So you're just shit at getting a decent ending?
I bet you fucking killed Ciri as well
>Believing the curse is real and Syanna can't find redemption
Come on man
Girls cursed from the black sun have an impossible anatomy with small twitching tentacles in their brain stem. Not a monster at all just grown up in a really hostile environment.
To add to this, if Stanna was cursed and we got to remove the curse of the black sun then yeah I'd believe she forgave her sister.
But as it is, and taking into account her past behaviour, you'd have to be literally retarded or dislike Anna to let Syanna anywhere near her.
This. Reconcile ending doesnt make sense. It's fanfic tier.
If you watch all the endings and check all the talk options for her, there's no fucking way you could believe she was sincere when she suddenly wants to play nice with Anna Henrietta as soon as some random witcher has treated her decently for a dozen of hours. She's fucking evil, and I'm not debating her sanity either; she was always seen as "the bad guy" since her birth and there's no telling what kind of traumas that left in her psyche. She literally has no reason to care about what it seen as right or wrong.
the curse of the black sun is a social construct you retard, plus syanna's hatred for annarietta was rooted in her deep love for her
She was literally throwing a family party you dolt.
Was it forbidden love?
>Is this game really worth a 60 hour romp?
Lol! I played 80 hours in the first 5 days from getting this game and I were not even close to finishing it. Nevermind playing any of the 2 DLCs
It truly is worth it.
In a normal Witcher story I would agree but B&W pushes hard on the "classic" fairy tale, it's sort of a reconstruction of the stories the Witcher books take apart
I have 286 hours clocked in after doing a single playthrough and finishing both DLC's, I did all the POI's, collected all witcher armor etc
I have 300 hours and haven't left white orchard
holy shit, they have planned witcher 3's story with ciri and shit back then already? based poles
Do you seriously believe she would willingly be playing some minor administrative role in her sister's cabinet without ever planning to overthrow her?
It might take years but eventually she will have gathered a somewhat solid plan to assassinate her and overthrow her government with some recently acquired allies.
The only real way to get rid of her treachery for good is to let Detlaff murder that bitch and deal with the consequences
What
Why would she have any need to do that?
Seriously dude, it was made to give a "happy" ending to the franchise. There's literally nothing more to it than that, it was a typical reversal of what normally happens in a Witcher plot and a call back to the original book when Geralt became "The Butcher of Blaviken".
It was a pure redemption story.
Multiple mages performed autopsies and found aberrations in the girls.
All lies it's a social construct.
it's essentially Faust's Mephisto, no medals for that
you know its a book no?
I'll still be resorting to the "watch all the dialogue options" before you type a response- argument.
You can love her, forgive her or whatever you want to do. It won't repay her those years she was cast aside like a used kitchen rag, so she will get her vengeance one way or another. It was pretty much the only consistent thing you can get out of her character if you keep playing the expansion exploring the different options. She WANTS retribution, no matter how insanely it would appear.
You're wrong. You can kill Dettlaff, save Syanna with the ribbon, and convince Syanna to forgive her sister. Do this and you'll get the good ending. Syanna and Henrietta will both be alive and well. Geralt will be a hero and earn his reward.
If you romance Yennefer, after the endgame she will appear in your property at Corvo Bianco. And when you talk to her, Geralt will mention when she said that after all that shit is over they would retire to somewhere far away and quiet. Geralt asks if Toussaint was fine since he now has a house there, and Yen said it was good enough.
HoS story wasn't nearly as good as B&W. Gaunter is definitely a better villain than Syanna and Dettlaff, but besides that, B&W is better on everything else.
If you explored all the dialogue then you would realise she still cares for her sister and is doing everything because she believed she had been betrayed.
All throughout her conversations she hints that she doesn't want to actually kill her sister, all it takes is the right nudge to convince her not to go through with it.
Also the fact is we don't know for certain what comes after since that's the end of the game so any theory on whether or not she kills her sister afterwards is pretty much fanfic, if you want to believe it ends in misery then that's how it'll end
>she doesn't want to actually kill her sister
>any theory on whether or not she kills her sister afterwards is pretty much fanfic
So you didn't explore ANY dialogue then? Nice.
Best villain right there, OP
Too bad his "boss fight" wasn't as good as he is well written.
Funny how in BaW it's pretty much the exact opposite. Dettlaff isn't well written but his boss fight is pretty intense.
Just a small problem user.
I don't wanna save that bitch.
Did you even get the ribbon?
Agreed.
