DA Fan gives TW3 a shot: Text Based Let's Play

Dumb player is dumb. You're not supposed to climb the ivy. The portal just needs it's power cell ;

Roche is one of my favorite characters as well. Such a badass!

I don't mind killing Witch Hunters to be honest.

Shackles... Irony... Very punny

So, I had hoped o have more of a conversation with the King about Phillipa.

I'm concerned that maybe all the surgical equipment and mess was to help Ciri... Then the Wild Hunt found them. So, I don't want to give the King the crystal because I don't want him to find her.

Sigh. Guess I'll lie to the King and see how he likes that...

Sometimes it may be best to not get involved in politics at all. Or wait until you learn more. I'm really intrigued by your playthrough!

Why so?

In other news, I helped a lady reclaim her childhood home. While trying to find my payment, I found er dead brother instead. Never did find my payment and chalked it up to a good deed.

Then I did The Volunteer. That was absurd and dark at the same time. Geralt has good painting skills.

Sorely tempted to get that boat to Skellige at this point.

You give me a new perspective on the game and its setting.  You're a big DA fan, so you come from (and really like) a setting where, despite lurking dangers and disasters, good deeds usually lead to good outcomes, and in the end, the world is made a bit safer and better through the hero's efforts. I, on the other hand, grew up with tales of doom and gloom all around me, whether it was my grandma reading me the Brothers Grimm's tales or my grand dad and grand uncles with their memories of the eastern front. I then played and gamesmastered Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay for many years, a setting that is a few shades darker than the Witcher's. And so, I told you to do "The Volunteer" because I thought it was funny while you found it dark and absurd. And I can definitely see why. It makes me think about my general attitude, and that's a good thing.

Feel free to take the ride to Skellige at any time - you can return to Velen whenever you feel like it. Skellige will give you a different landscape and people, a lovely soundtrack and a healthy dose of Yennefer, so if that sounds appealing, go for it!

I did the sword dumplings quest and was truly amused by the two brothers. I mind controlled the one brother to pay up. Then when we went to break into the warehouse, the dwarf seemed to act like we were friends. Due to. Yerpen??? Anyway, since we were friends, I didn't want to mind control him. I bribed him to look the other way. In the end though, the warehouse owner came by, and the two brothers that had been beating each other web I first saw them claimed to love each other! we beat van Horn up. .. and I think Sakrus is going to do something to him. And the Swordsmithing monopoly is no more.

The sword I got was a tad better than what I had. And the recipes I have aren't better that what I'm now equipped with.

Off to Skellige after a quick visit of the Cabaret

I hope Corinne is all right with all those witch hunters

You mean to tell that you're hesitant to kill the king after all he's done?! My feelings on the King:

Most awkward sex scene I've seen.

Yen being herself I suppose.
