I have nothing against plastic corrective surgery, whether performed via modern medicine or Witcher-world magic. If it works, it works.
you guys probably like those women with the balloon-sized plastic surgery lipsyenn is an ugly hunchback using magic to look young and pretty

Yeah, people keep confusing Yen's looks for an illusion. It was actual transformative magic.

On this point (that cheesy charm): there's an underlying melancholy to the Witcher books that gets lost in all the translations - official and unofficial alike - and that melancholy sort of overrides what could've otherwise been cheese. I feel once you reach a certain point and have a bit of life experience it becomes obvious that Sapkowski is laying himself quite bare in places, and is (was) wrestling with... stuff when writing all that. The much maligned character shift is perhaps one piece of evidence of this. This is why Wiedźmin is an absolute bastard to translate, I think. It's all there, but ephemeral.Probably true. The occasional rough translation really added to the game's charm thanks for the info
Shani in TW3 was perfect waifu. Bullshit it didn't carry over to the main game.Shani is the only choice. Working girl ( a nurse no less) who's always there for Geralt. No bullshit, no cuckoldry, and no manipulation unlike the other two wenches. They ought to have had her die from Catriona Plague between TW1 and TW2. Railroading me back into Triss' bed between games with the weak excuse of "It didn't work out with Shani." was lame.
Fortunately, Yen magicked herself into looking like a damn hot woman who never had any plastic treatments, so in a way, Witcher-world magic is far better at turning uggos into total babes, which is absolutely fucking amazing and should be researched in detail.
The games also lose this aspect completely, but 3 does tap into those narrative qualities of the books if you're aware they were there.
Now why would you be reading a translation of a polish bookThe games also lose this aspect completely, but 3 does tap into those narrative qualities of the books if you're aware they were there.
Hey, I was thinking 2s translation wasn't half bad.

This ruins anything else your comment possibly could have said. I don't think you deserve any say in this discussion.and always Triss over Yen.
Ok, that's basically an indian reservation. And the overall sentiment is the same, a bunch of barbarians displacing the old civilizations.they have their kingdom of dol blathanna but nilfgard sponsors the guerrillas to stir shit up northI sided with them but only because of a feeling that it would be a shame for an old race to be wiped out and have no home of their own. They are giant assholes though.
You literally don't know what you're talking about. If anything the only morally good main choices in the Witcher 1 are to either side with the order or go neutral. The Squirrels are portrayed as terrorists willing to throw people to necrophagees for no other reason than shits and giggles. They routinely denigrate humans as apes and talk about the superiority of the race like they're Nazis in a ww2 film. Their leader is a psychopath whose biggest part in the books is the brutal massacre of defenseless wounded in a medic tent. Siegfried, the Order's representative, on the other hand is probably one of the most morally good characters in the game and never judges Geralt for being a mutant and at the drop of a hat is willing to cure someone's curse rather than kill them. And when you save the aforementioned civilians instead of going after the squirrels, he commends you for thinking of the greater good. Even the villain of the game has a reasonable position and if you weren't seething about second-hand information you might be able to play and understand that. And give me a break about the "randomly kill strangers" shit. Like I said the elves do the fucking same later and it's not "randomly," it's because they fucking hate humans like those local toughs hated dwarves.The story is some cucked "racism is bad" shit, and is more aggressive than usual; this time "racism" has the power to drive people to randomly kill strangers on the spot. The way you are introduced to game is defending a dwarf who is getting murdered by a group of three cuz raycizm. From what I've heard the main villain hates dwarves and elves for no reason at all. You can see the fantasy staple races getting messed up, where now Dwarves are jews and Elves are american indians. There's also the typical dig at religion and an innocent witch being tried.
Your mother sucks dwarf cock.I played partway through this game and ended up disliking it more and more until I dropped it. This is supposed to be more mechanically complex and hardcore than the average Console RPG, yet the game is easy and all you need to use to win are a couple Potions. Swallow to heal, and Blizzard to enter God Mode where you avoid all attacks in bullet time. They are both relatively cheap-to-make as well. You can also instakill most single enemies with the first spell you get in the game, by stabbing them after. The swamp plant and ghost dog are the only difficult enemies. This makes oils and bombs useless.
The quest system is decent in this game, and I liked some of the side quests like the Vodyanoi. Most of them are fetch quests though. Already at 2007 it showed exactly where to go on the map and had quest markers, too bad.

It seems to me like a Che Guavara situation, where it's alright because he's fightan oppreshun. This is what Geralt says in the game:You literally don't know what you're talking about.

What the fuck are you doing? Were you playing the game or looking for excuses to be assblasted? That means absolutely nothing because Geralt's journal changes based on your choices and he similarly rationalizes picking the Order on several occasions in game. If you were playing it instead of bringing up what I assume are other peoples' screencaps you'd know that.This is what Geralt says in the game:
The Squirrels are portrayed as having no qualms killing civilians, even for sadism's sake. Their leader is a sadist also. There's even a point where starving elves push away the leader of a village who was willing to give them some food and then later hold that same village hostage, even killing some of the villagers to ward off the Order. This is obviously not some dangerhair living out their revolutionary fantasies through video game characters and you'd see that if weren't so up your own ass.It seems to me like a Che Guavara situation, where it's alright because he's fightan oppreshun.

“Man Who Has Not Played Video Game Tells World of Video Game’s Insidious Agenda, Damning Screenshots Within!"I'm not here to claim it's the deepest writing ever but it kinda sounds like you went in with some preconceived notions and saw only what you wanted to see.
You don't seem to get that most of the Knights of the Flaming Rose activities don't portray them as villains, hell three of their quests involve saving humans from Squirrel hostage situations. Generally they stand for order and the human establishment and against the chaos that the Squirrels are willing to cause to further their goals. They spell this out perfectly well in game and you're just royally missing the point if you don't see it. You're also bringing up some random ass book as if it is the codex astartes for their Order when it has hardly anything to do with the faction itself.To cheer on a villain group, they'd need to have a well-explained ideology that someone can latch on to. Just one of their captains being a nice guy doesn't cut it. An ideology of why they are against non-humans doesn't seem to be present at all besides that 3rd-hand faked pamphlet.
