The one on the left bewitches Geralt to be in love with her. The one on the right is actually an ugly hag who uses magic to make herself look attractive.

Every single RPG on the planet would be better if it had Yennefer or Morrigan as the romance option. :smug:

I wish they would use that kind of magic in modern games...

Elves went from hyper traditional, lithe, tall, fair haired and pale skinned trad chuds and chuddettes to being the designated racemixing mulatto, nowadays it's hard to spot a knife ear in media that's not a ****** or a mixed mulatto or east asian. It's just part of the demoralization and mocking of european (read white people) culture, we are already at the point where most people think europe was always a melting pot and that africans built egypt and greece. The humiliation never stops. Get used to it goy.

Neither three Witcher games could hold my attention. The first one is a visual novel, the second one was so boring I can't remember it, and the third had controls so bad it made the OG Resident Evil feel buttery smooth.

I will never forgive CDPR for making my PC turn into a toaster with that first town near the church area running at like 20 FPS always, and then spending 25 hours running through those ****** *** swamps back and forth with no tp points. 100%ing TW1 almost burnt me out from the entire series, TW2 being a linear action adventure game saved it for me.

Sure, you can make an argument for hating W1, all good. But calling it a visual novel is just objectively ********.

I liked when I kept the other Witcher alive in that fight where you team up against the ******** in the laboratory and then he has no dialogue and just stands there forever.

Yeah...they might need to rewrite every line of dialogue for the remake. Can't wait... :bounce:

Yennefer used to be an ugly hunchback, but used alchemy to do some "plastic surgery." It's permanent, unlike illusion magic or glamors or other stuff like that. All the sorceresses do that, because they recruit based on magic talent and the fugly looks is something they can easily fix. Except for Triss, who has an allergy to potions and elixirs and ****, which means she's the only one who looked like a hot ginger from the get go.
Geralt's attraction to Yennefer might not even be real, but a genie's magical influence. There is even a quest in Witcher 3 where you track down the genie and make him undo the spell. If you're a ***** whipping boy, you tell Yennefer that you still love her. If you're a real man, you tell that slut to go eat glass and the feelings were due to magical mind control.

Whenever I hear the words "modernized" "improved" "expanded upon" in anything related to a remake or a remaster I just tune out. There's absolutely no way any game older than 2015 at this point could ever get a remake that doesn't censor the **** out of it. Mass Effect is a relatively """unproblematic""" game where every woman has a massive manjaw and looks like a ******, and they still had to remove like the three only remotely sexualized butt scenes of Miranda. The future of gaming are those terrible night clubs in Starfield's Neon City.

There is almost never a reason for a remake anyway. Even W1. All that talk about that game *really* needs an update is bs. Why? I replayed it just 1-2 years ago on a modern system, it worked well. No issues whatsoever.

I don't see why people consider Yenn a *****, or even a girlboss/feminist. Her entire character arc in the books is desperately wanting to make deals with anyone if it'll allow her to have a baby and raise a family (with Geralt) due to witches becoming infertile. She also gets cheated on by Geralt twenty times through the series, and he has ****** every single witch she knows from the coven. She only has sex with Istredd and Crach (who are not ******* in the books or games), when Geralt leaves her and goes to date other women. And as the series centers around the idea of destiny and love in many ways between Geralt+Ciri+Yen, it's very unlikely or borderline impossible for her love towards Geralt or his towards her to be fake, both in book canon and game canon they end up together.

I think CDPR ****** up a lot with the witcher series because most game only players would know to come Yenn as a cold hearted ***** while Triss is the perfect ginger big titty waifu for the most part, but in the books she's basically just a side ***** for Geralt. That's not even the worst thing they did though, when you remember that the resolution quest of Djikstra's Arc in TW3 exists, absolute total decimation and character ruining of everyone involved. TW3 is still one of my favorite games of all time, but CDPR has shat the bed heavily when it comes to parts of Yenn/Djikstra and Nilfgard Empire as well. The fact that there are people who think Ciri becoming the Empress is even remotely a good ending are so wrong it's painful. :headbang:

I do believe it's important to note that the libtards are already starting to demoralize themselves with their own failures, reagrdless of how "big" a game company is.

Here is the full article if anyone is curious: https://www.thegamer.com/video-game-dev ... -industry/

Which is both funny and ironic since their goal was always to demoralize us. lmfao
Destiny 2 can **** off, they deserve to collapse.

Friend convinced me to get into the game after a couple years of hounding, so... I finally break down, pick up all the expansions and begin to play (spent over 100 bucks to get all the past content). Then, shortly after the company has a dispute and splits. All the content I purchased was removed or severely restricted and thrashed with the "promise" that they would eventually add it back in..., but no means to compensate me for my loss in any form.

Yeah, screw them. Hope the entire industry crash and burns.

That is very true. I read the books as a kid, then almost a decade later played the games. I barely even remembered what happened in the books, so the games were like a fresh exposure to the setting for me. I reread all the books when the newest one came out and, yes, the book Yennefer is much better.

If Twicherino was a good game, it would've let you have a harem of witches, and not some cringe scene where Triss + Yenn do a girl boss move.

Checkmate, atheists.

twitcher bros...... i dont feel too good :sad: .............. on that topic does any (non japanese)RPG actually allow for a harem ending? I can only think of Kingmaker's Twins DLC and Jade Empire's Ninja girls, but they are both kinda **** games.

Modders would have to work 24/7 in order to make this game just decent enough. It's so not worth it.

And what about the story ? The dialogues ? The choices ? The gameplay ? etc... It's not just about ugly characters. The whole game looks trash.
