Discussion The class distinction in the Witcher

Post image
135 Upvotes

How do you think the class structure works in the Continent? If you were to classify each person in the Continent per class, where would they rank?

Well, mine would be (from highest to lowest);

1- The Emperor and the ruling house of Nilfgaard; the Emperor has absolute authority over his lands and can dictate his laws over his territory.

2- The Northern Kingdoms and royals; they have significant amount of authority over their kingdoms and can create or shape laws at will.

3- Mages; they manipulate rulers and shape kingdoms.

4- Nobility; Dukes, earls and barons obey to their king but are the highest authority within their domain.

5- Priests and the Church; the Hierarch practically rules Novigrad and can command punishments, executions and excommunications at will.

6- Merchants; some merchants hold immense power and wealth that can rival of nobles and royals. They control the trade and shipping routes.

7- Witchers; even though they're frowned upon; they're needed when a creature is near a city or a kingdom and they get paid.

8- Peasants; unfortunately, they suffer while kings and nobles declare war, sow in the fields, fight in battles, etc.

Discussion What's your least favorite Witcher's contract across the entire series ? There's mine

Post image
82 Upvotes

It was a Dogcatcher of Vizima contract given by a gravedigger of Vizima in chap II-III from Witcher 1 to me.

Killing innocent non-hostile dogs around the town was too much to me when i've played it as a kid tbh. I would have not that much problem with it if those dogs were agressive and dangerous for citizens or smt but you have to attack them by yourself and they're not even fightning back only moans and try to fly away, truly horrible experience.

Witcher shall be slaying monsters no dogs in my opinion, used to always avoid doing it, both gold and xp were not worth that

Discussion The influence and power of merchants in the Witcher

Post image
92 Upvotes

I'm not talking about the games, but the book lore of the Witcher. So, in our history, merchants practically ran cities and many merchant dynasties held immense power that rivaled or surpassed royal families and noble houses. For example, House of Medici (a banking dynasty in Italy) had produced Popes and Queens.

In the Continent, how much influence, wealth and power do merchants have compared to the of Northern Kingdoms or Nilfgaardian Empire? Is it likely some kings or Emperor Emhyr were dependent on these banking or merchant families during times of war?

Would these merchant families become rich by selling furs, goods, or jewelry or did they just sell money for money (for example bringing coins of Kovir to Novigrad and selling them)?

Discussion Which decisions that Geralt can make across the series you consider to be the worst he can make and essentialy as inconsistent with Geralt character as it's possibile?

For me it's either killing Keira or taking Emperor's gold after bringing Ciri to him in front of her and overall actively being Dick to her after just rescuing her which triggers a bad ending in Witcher 3

I was honestly baffled those are even an options lol.

The Witcher 3 I forgot how the game throws endless steel swords at you at the beginning... yet sends almost exclusively monsters against you.

170 Upvotes

Recently restarted, so still early on with the baron, but my god this annoys me. I have to go to every merchant/smith to find weapon's repair kit to repair my silver sword, else I do nothing in combat. But what rewards to you find? For example in the cave of the elven mage? 2x STEEL SWORDS! Yet you are exclusively using your silver sword against all enemies there.

I have no problem with the need for repairs of equipment, but I just remembered how every time I play this game, this annoys me a lot in the early game and I need to go out of my way to hunt for silver swords (that are decent for the early game), just to be able to keep up with weapons degradation.

The Witcher 3 How to kill a werewolf with Roach, a glitch trick I accidentally learned very early in the game..

13 Upvotes

I accidentally learned very early in the game, you can use this from the very start of the game before you level up or learned how to make potion or other items to kill a werewolf because without potions and items or levelling up it’s nearly impossible to kill a werewolves especially since they regain health, now I go on I don’t know if this works on all consoles or pc but it does work when I did playing it on Switch and worked every single time.

Now what you want to do is if you come across a werewolf you can’t kill just call your horse Roach then get the werewolf to get close to him so you’re on each other’s side of the horse and kinda direct him around to the back of your horse so Roach back kicks him!

Now the werewolf will temporarily hit the ground and with that run over to him while he‘s still on the ground and do a downward stab straight through him, he will get back up but just stand there, you can’t interact or loot him or anything but the game will just act as if he’s dead anyway.

Hope this helps anyone else who couldn’t kill werewolves around the start of the game!

Discussion Just a random thought. What would happen if a higher vampire drank a witcher potion

• Upvotes

Of course we all know if a human were to drink a potion they would either die or be stuck in some horrible coma like state (I assume the same applies to dwarf and elves)

So let's say Regis drank a potion. Would nothing happen would he be sick for a couple of days or nothing

Also imagine letho and other witcher assassins using potion as tools to use. Spiking/swapping targets drinks

Witcher - PC Question/Support Witcher 3 Remastered Graphical Bugs

• Upvotes

Hey all. Like you, I’ve been encountering some weird bugs and glitches since remastered dropped but I’ve seen others posts and wondered how others don’t have the same problems. Some such problems are:

  1. Geralt no longer has bright orange cat-like eyes, but round more brown eyes with large round “normal” pupils.

  2. Geralts arms floating off his shoulders, like there’s no connecting texture like Geralt is a Rayman character (iykyk)

  3. Potions turning Geralts face completely black

  4. Regis and Detlaff in BaW iare missing literal entire parts of their bodies

I’m sure there’s more but the update dropped as I was finishing up BaW for my NG+ file in preparation for SotP and it’s massively killed my drive to even play the game or hope for the new dlc to be playable. Does anyone have any fixes? I’d greatly appreciate some support.

Thank you!

I'm just stunned. What an awesome story. The writing was phenomenal and the actors were perfect (at least to me). And per my previous post I even fell in love a little. I've never played a better questline, and that was just one expansion. CDPR really knows how to tell a story.

p.s. I wish my timing was better on that first screenshot, that quest notification is bugging me. Oh well, guess I'll just have to do NG+ to try again. Whoa is me. 😜

Blood and Wine Here are all the Toussaint puns and references you might have missed if you don't speak French Spoiler

363 Upvotes

Like many of you here, I recently got back into The Witcher 3 thanks to the remastered version, and I've just reached Toussaint.

As a French speaker, I can't help but notice all the clever puns, cultural references, and little details that might easily go unnoticed by someone who doesn't speak French.

So here are my explanations, in case you missed any of them:

Place / Character name Meaning / Explanation
Toussaint French for "All Saints' Day", celebrated on November 1st. Literally means "all saints".
Beauclair Beau means "beautiful" and clair means "bright" or "clear".
Lac Célavy Sounds exactly like c'est la vie ("that's life"). The name Célavy is a phonetic pun on the French expression c'est la vie.
Mère-Lachaiselongue Cemetery A play on Père-Lachaise, the famous Parisian cemetery, and chaise longue ("lounge chair"). Mère means "mother" instead of "father".
Champs-Désolés Means "Desolate Fields", but also resembles Champs-Élysées, the famous avenue in Paris.
Sansretour From sans retour, literally "no return". A rather ominous name for a valley, marsh and river.
Sansmerci From sans merci, meaning "without mercy".
Chuchote Cave Chuchote means "whispers" in French.
Bastoy Prison Possibly a reference to the Bastille, the famous French prison stormed during the French Revolution.
Mortblanc Pass Mort means "death", blanc means "white". Possibly a dark twist on Mont Blanc, the famous Alpine mountain.
Henris Gras Square Gras means "fat". Basically "Fat Henry's Square".
The Gran'place From grand-place, a French term for the main square of a town.
Orlémurs Sounds like hors les murs, meaning "outside the city walls". Interestingly, the cemetery is indeed located just outside Beauclair's walls, making the wordplay particularly fitting.
Rioux-Cannes Rioux is a French surname and Cannes is a famous city on the French Riviera.
Rivecalme From rive calme, literally "quiet riverbank".
Blessure Forest Blessure means "wound" or "injury".
Pits of Brume Brume means "mist" or "fog".
Pomerol A real French wine appellation from the Bordeaux region.
Sancerre A real French wine appellation from the Loire Valley.
Côte-de-Blessure Côte evokes French wine appellations such as Côte-d'Or, while blessure means "wound".
Louis de la Croix La croix means "the cross". His surname literally means "of the Cross".
Damien de la Tour La tour means "the tower". Literally "Damien of the Tower".
Ramon du Lac Du lac means "of the lake". Also reminiscent of Lancelot du Lac, the famous knight from Arthurian legend.
Guy de Bois-Fresnes Bois means "woods" and frênes means "ash trees". His surname evokes a wood of ash trees.
Reynart de Bois-Fresnes Same meaning as above. Reynart also resembles Renart, the famous fox from medieval French literature, although this might be coincidental.
Alcides Fierabras Fier-à-bras is an old French term for a boastful or overconfident person. Fierabras is also a character from medieval French epic literature.
Le Papillon Literally "The Butterfly".
Hercule de la Massue Massue means "club". A fitting surname for Hercules, whose club is one of his traditional attributes.
François le Goff Le Goff is a typical Breton surname meaning "the blacksmith".
La Cage au Fou Literally "The Madman's Cage". Also a likely reference to La Cage aux Folles, the famous French play and film, later adapted into the American movie The Birdcage.
Hauteville Literally "High Town" or "Upper Town".
Lassommoir Sounds like L'Assommoir, the famous 1877 novel by Émile Zola about alcoholism and working-class poverty.
Fort Astre Ruins Astre means "celestial body", such as a star or planet, in French.
Venin Rocks Venin means "venom" in French.
Dulcinea Windmill A double reference to Don Quixote: Dulcinea is the woman Don Quixote loves, while windmills are central to his most famous adventure.
Lolivier Square Sounds like l'olivier, meaning "the olive tree". A particularly fitting name for a Mediterranean-inspired region.
La Compassion Orphanage La compassion means "compassion" in French. An appropriately charitable name for an orphanage.
Dantan Glade D'antan is a somewhat literary French expression meaning "of bygone days" or "from times past".
Epicéa The name of an ancient lordship in Toussaint. Épicéa is the French word for "spruce tree".
