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

But did you tell Skjall's mother you prefer women?

I'd not read your story yet, so no. I didn't say I liked Skjall either. The kids was to make me feel better about the village treating him like a bastard. A pity kiss

So. I'm not in love with Yennifer. But I couldn't tell her I wasn't, so now they're together. I don't feel so bad about it- the mask wasn't to find the Djinn and the search for one wasn't too bad at all.

Next time I play, I'm going for Triss. I really admire her mage underground ways. Maybe it's the Thedas in me talking. Hopefully the post genie talk on that PT won't be horribly awkward.

I got my fancy blacksmith tools and I'm back at Crows Perch. Ugh. Bad memories here in this ugly country.

I will haven't settled on killing Radovid. I think I won't.

Both do that


And it looks like I'm in trouble with Emhyr

Not too bad. 2k.

I'm wore out for the night. Till next time.

Apparently I was in a long cut scene where I returned to Kear Morhen. I'd only been there in a dream sequence but it was nostalgic nonetheless. Also, finally, after all that chasing- the closest to home Geralt will ever be. Almost as grand as Skyhold.

Yennifer was being obnoxiously jealous but I understand it went I I think she's overreacting. You can't say you didn't bother finding Geralt because you'd figure e was alright and memory full and then grouch about what he got up to.

Now I really am going to bed. I'll o looking for that document you mentioned. Emhyr didn't seem so bad when I visited and if he really is kinder to mages, well... Radovid broke a University so he lost points for that and of course there is all that Eternal Fire BS

Personally I would never let Nilfgaard or Radovid win, Nilfgaard has been the aggressor in 3 wars and Emhyr var Emreis is a vile bastard, Radovid is a madman who would slaughter all magic users.
You said earlier you wanted a Northern ruler who would be strong independent and treat everybody fairly, I would stick with that idea.

On a related matter, if you talk to the bootblack in witcher 1, he seems remarkably intelligent and well informed for a shoeshine.
If you say that to him he will clam up.
But if you get that book from Thaler, you'll notice no one wants to buy it, but if you go back to the bootblack after the first conversation, you will have the option of giving him the book as a gift.
To which he'll reply "You know who I am?" His name is Ori Reuven , he used to be Dijkstra's assistant. (from whom Dijkstra took his alias after Philippa tried to have him assassinated.)
In return he will give you the Prophet Lebioda's ring that is said to be very popular with the elderly, you can wear it, and show it to Shani's landlady to get up to Shani's room.

On a unrelated matter, I was just reading last night about Canterella.
I usually overlooked her being a Nilfgaarding spy and have sex with her anyway.
But in the book, she is Vattier de Rideaux's mistress. She is 18 and very beautiful and very good in bed.
He thinks she is a dumb piece of fluff, (which is want she wants him to think) She is not taken seriously as a spy because everyone knows she's just the boss's bit on the side. But she is actually highly intelligent and has a photographic memory and is working for the Lodge of Sorceress'.
You get a hint of this when she tells you she had heard about Geralt's prowess from Fringilla, and how he would always help a lady in distress.
It was her who told the Sorceress' that Emhyr never had Ciri and was marrying a fake Ciri, a Ciri look alike.

@dustyelf

So one can just ignore the war entirely and find Ciri anyway?

You can't really go wrong with Skellige, though I prefer to help both of Crach an Craite's kids, but stay out of their politics.
Svanrige keeps Skellige strong and fiercely Skelligan.




The war with Nilfgaad is not a Civil war, they are separate countries.
But even if you don't want to kill Radovid, you should still talk to Sigi.
He never expects Geralt to kill the King, he only wants you to track down and rescue Thaler, the Chief of Temerian intelligence.
It's a short light hearted quest, but it keeps your options open for later.

Just as excepting Radovid's quest didn't mean you had to kill Philippa Eilhart.
It just enabled you to find out what she was up to. ie trying to regain her eyesight.
And if Triss was still with you at the time you could have used her megascope crystal to eavesdrop on her conversation.

If the kill Radovid quest hasn't already been marked as failed, (It does after a certain event) Then I would go and rescue Thaler.
Incidentally, if you did the White Orchard quest about the old woman an the frying pan, you might have found Thaler's monocle in that house, as he was the spy who needed to write the note.


It's an option, but you might not like the end result.

I'll say: 

Uma what's the meaning of life?

"Uma!"
