fucking hell, that choice... im gonna go with master mirror cause dishonored 2 kinda pussied the outsider up

Gaunter. Tough choice between him and Outsider from 1. Outsider from 2 is a fucking joke.

>dat filename
O'Dimm, because he was a down-to-earth hoomie walking the mortal plane to the uninitiated, which is a tired but believable trope for an immortal being.

What did Dishonored 2 do with the Outsider?

I feel like it comes down to whichever leaves more to speculation with these types of otherwordly occult characters and they kind of butchered the Outsider with Dishonored 2 so Gaunter even though as a character i prefer the Outsider more

I liked that Gaunter almost never hid anything from you, everything he said was straight up. Not counting the first time you meet him in White Orchard.
Outsider is more like pic related.

Dishonored 1 Outsider > Dishonored 2 Outsider > that literally fucking who

They turned him into a melodramatic, edgy teenager with both the writing and voice change.

O Dimm, Outsider was cool in 1, but in 2 he has a shitty VA.

ffs

PEE

Gaunter, pretty easily. I like deal with the devil scenarios more than "Fuck it have some superpowers I wanna see what happens". Plus I like how he pulls a g-man and is in the background of other scenes watching you.

Outsider's decent but Gaunter's really special.

The Outsider is moe

>post yfw this scene

Nah i disagree while he wasn't very secretive Gaunter teased the fuck out of you but revealed just enough so that you would start asking yourself questions and then you start realizing that while he did talk he didn't actually reveal anything just glimpses
Meaning you were still left with many doubts, Gaunter is supposed to be like Satan meaning a trickster, he's anything but straight up
Outsider is cryptic as hell when he talks though yeah but in a good way
>I see everything. I see forever, and right now I see a man walking a tightrope over a sea of blood and filth. The Empress is dead, and the water's rising.

On an unrelated note, we check for whether a person is dead by forcing their mouth open. If tongue rolls out, brain is still active, even if it registered no activity for 5 minutes or so.

never played right, but
>hehe, I have to follow the rules because I am scrupulous :PPP
>I can literally stop time, but don't worry I stay true to my word and if you beat me in a childish game in which I will create an entire dimension for us to play the game in, I will be forced into a wormhole because that makes it fair

...

So what exactly was Gaunter?
A Djinn? A mage that just liked to fuck shit up?

>literally fucking who
Pretty sure a character from the undisputed GotY 2015 isn't a literal who compared to some nobody from mediocre crap like Dishonored, you knuckledragger.

Either something unique to the witcher world or just some powerful demon. You never know exactly what he was. Definitely not just a wizard.

Unspecified powerful otherworldly being.
Conjunction of Spheres brought who the fuck knows what in that world.

I dont think he's of the world of the Witcher , he's a demon or possibly the devil himself

>god who can control time
>is petty enough to kill someone who he thinks interrupted him, when he didn't

What was his fucking problem?

>devil himself
I implore you to find any references to heaven or hell in that universe.

O'Dimm is actually evil, and Outsiders is le neutral observer. How's he spooky? The devs also ruined the mystery by outright saying he wasn't the whale god, but a regular dude who got the power of the void.

B-but he was buying.

a crossroad demon - a special type of demon whose only job was to harvest souls

>god
Um, no, he's definitely not one.

Yeah you're right tbf

The Dishonored games are only mediocre crap to people with no taste.

At least you don't shit on GotY 2015 like people with no taste do too.

His name implies he's a god though.

>Gaunter
>O

???
The Witcher GO confirmed?

In Slav mythology, the devil often appeared at crossroads for one

>Sup Forums goes apeshit because of a dumb nickname like "Peebee"
>meanwhile Sup Forums can't help buttposting 24/7 about MUH ROBOT WAIFU TOOBIE xD

>implies he's a god though.
nah... he likes to joke about everything

This guy.

but that's what he was in 1


well maybe he was less melodramatic but he seemed like a teenager trying to sound deep

Isn't it a common myth in the west as well?
It happens in whatshisface music video about the best song in the world.
It was quite obvious who he was after he told you to meet him at crossroads at midnight.

Mind = Blown

Who here let Gaunter take Olgierd's soul?

a jokester can't be god?

There's no "western myth". Europe is made up of over 30 countries and they all have their interpretation of the devil. In Britain, he usually appears on a bridge.

His name is also an anagram for "Guitar demon"
We might be onto something there anons.

Holy shit lads watch this: youtu.be/sniP_4qmMlg

DEEPEST LORE

>implying
I liked Gaunter but I wanted to beat him at his own game.

>In Britain, he usually appears on a bridge.
Interesting, first time I've heard about that.
And by western, I mostly meant american of course. But then again, there are so many different people living there, so some of them are bound to have the crossroads myth as well, I guess.

>he didn't ask Geralt to play him the best song in the world

I'm a huge faggot, so yeah I did.

Olgierd unironically tried to kill you twice.
It was an easy choice.

Why would you? Sure, Olgierd was a dick, but O'Dimm is a much bigger dick, a universal-scale dick.

they like to add things like that.
At the end of HoS Geralt drinks wine which could revive a corpse and cuts Olgierds hand

blood and wine dlc about revived corpses/vampires

The Americans are just as bad. They just make up a new denomynation of christianity whenever they feel like it.

>so some of them are bound to have the crossroads myth

Most likely. The common is that it always seems to be somewhere the person listening to the story would feel scared. A bridge because obviously there's no way to escape.

After experiencing the whole dream sequence with olgierd and his mrs I couldn't bring myself to do so. During that whole squence I looked down for a second and nearly had a mini panic attack cos I realised I was playing a game. Fuck I love that story.

>muh spoons!

Look it's TrannyDestroyer

>d1 outsider
>cosmic being/god of sorts that just likes fucking with things

>d2 outsider
>get pulled into the void so he summarize the story for you
>va changed for no reason

what a fucking waste

>makes a deal with the devil thinking he can outsmart him
>destroys people's lives
>and his own too

He KNEW the risks, took them but still didn't want to face the consequences.

Fuck Olgierd

O'Dimm's a dick if you're a dick to him. Had Geralt fulfilled the deal in O'Dimm's terms, he gets compensated properly.

He'll even help Geralt save Ciri's life, which I think implies that he can't defeat the White Frost, which further implies that he's just a very powerful and ancient alien sorcerer that traipses around the verses, being a dick like you would be in GTA.

It's another slav myth but pretty obscure. Based on spoons go missing in village houses because people lose them or them being stolen as valuables if they're silver.

And he is a mirror master = reverse of go

Original Gangster?

>A bridge because obviously there's no way to escape.
But there is, you can just turn back. Unless there are two devils.
Actually, in slav myths about devil and such, it's not Satan himself, who's doing the dirty work by a chort (not that monster from TW3), an imp-like demon. Sometimes it's presented as a rank and file demon, but sometimes it's The Chort, the unclean one.

If he's such a slav myth, why is he named after Stephen King characters?

there are just different interpretations. one of you anons said it right, it's no matter where you meet him, but he's listening to you and giving you sound advice in return for an unspecified favor (reminds you of something from witcher's lore?)
sorry i'm a huge dork when it comes to that kind of stuff i'll go kms now

Gaunter uses a lot of wordplay and lies of omission but I don't recall him ever truly deceiving the player out of spite or malice. Really he's more of the Gentleman Devil archetype in that he's cunning, crafty, and 'evil' but he will abide by contracts and agreements... to the letter of the law, not the spirit. You can even ask him if he's some sort of demon and he replies by telling Geralt he's better off not knowing. I'd wager it'd be difficult to both trust and work for a "man" if you knew he was some extra-dimensional soul collector with god-like power.

He was oddly open and trusting, for lack of a better word, in Geralt. I suppose he took an educated gamble if he observed Geralt for a time.

O'Dimm himself most likely orchestrated the whole muslim prince thing and set you up for failure only to "save" you. He also left a nasty fucking scar on Geralt's face. For a professional gigolo like Geralt it's a serious offense. Plenty of reasons to hate O'Dimm.

O'Dimm, easily.

Aren't humans alien invaders in the witcher world, too?

By the time Geralt asks him who he is, it's obvious he realizes O'Dimm isn't human and is indeed some demon or a djinn or whatever. The only question is what kind of devilry he is exactly.

I had a bug that after getting the scar, I went on to change my hairstyle and with that, the scar disappeared.

what are some other sequels that completely shitcan the world building and story of the first game as badly as d2?

>But there is, you can just turn back

He's the devil, he'll just teleport behind and throw you off it. Usually he waits until you're in the middle.

In British mythology (that survives anyway), he usually is THE devil. But the stories often involve things that are just as otherworldy, like Jack O' Kent.

should be noted his name is an anagram for god

Of course. I think Geralt was just prodding to see what info he could get, if any.

>educated gamble
Most probably. He saw a Geralt as a worthy mortal opponent. Actually helped him at first, then went into open confrontation. "Three tasks" is a staple of any slav/jap/whatever tale, but this time it's you who have to fulfill wishes of a genie/devil/whateverthefuck.
I think it was a great spin on classics.

you mean an acronym

Whatever O'Dimm actually is he plays the role of a run-of-the-mill satan with no twists. Outsider genuinely seems mysterious with unknown motives (I haven't played 2 though). Is he satan? Is the psychic manifestation of the whales? If he is, why does he genuinely care about the order of things being thrown off balance by the empress being killed and Delilah trying to take her place?

You meet him first time right at the beginning of the game, in White Orchard. He's a bit off but calls himself a traveling merchant, buys you a drink, etc. Then points you in general direction of Yennifer.

?

What is his name in Polish?

I was obviously talking about the spoon scene in the DLCs, not the prologue.

yea sur

Just reminded you in the case you forgot that faggot by the time you reached B&W
Because I sure did

fug I meant H&S derp

His full name is an anagram for 'I AM MUNTER GOD'.

Гюнтep o’Дим - russian
Gaunter o'Dim - polish

Wow, russians use squares for letters?

All the curves in russia are for tank turrets

馬鹿

kek

...

russian myself, confirming

This is literally how he was in 1 and why he was so cool

He wasnt just a boring "woah super powerful deity watching over me and orchestrating my entire world for some better grand design" convention but instead just a really bored kid who was made a god just trying to fuck with the world as much as possible so he can stop being so bored

there is no spoon

Maybe because 2B doesn't look like Shrek's autistic cushion, landwhale.

He was not melodramatic or edgy in 1.

I only saved him because it was more fun gameplay wise. My canon would be not to save him. He brought it on himself and the Geralt would never want to meddle with the actual devil just to save some poor sod.

Book Geralt would try to save Olgier and probably die, or win with some tons of luck like he always does
