Witcher lore thread

So did humans arive to the Witcher world in the conjunction of the spheres as well as monsters?

Also are Humans the master race of the Witcher world since either they or superhumans(Witchers) seem to be capable of beating every single threat from Aen Elle to Higher Vampires.

Also where did the humans come from? In the books Ciri actually went to IRL medieval Europe. So did they come from our world?

Also why the fuck is Science in the Witcher world around 1800's level while the technology is more around the 1300's?

I was treating each line like a separate question you retard.

Have they improved the shitty fucking performance yet?

you are not going to print that shit for an exam, you imbecile.

Wtf are you on about nigger?
He made four long questions and each one was a paragraph so he spaced them so he wouldn't have a wall of text.

>>>/cuckchan/

Why are you getting so trigger by how I format questions?

Yes

Also, Witchers aren't exclusively human, the elves had their own schools too

Yes, they're our world humans

Magic

They were busy with DLCs, now they're finished with them they should overhaul the game

I'm pretty sure it sort of seemed like they did from the books, but I don't really remember.

Well, they have magic, but tons are just living like shit peasants. That one vampire in the books didn't seem like he'd have a problem killing pretty much anyone. (Regis maybe? I can't remember his name.)

Who knows?

Priorities? Maybe the smartest people worry about magic instead of technology and it hasn't advanced like in our world.

Magic doesn't make anyone sterile.
In fact, witches could have children, but very often pregnancy amongst them caused unnecessary complications. So, I bellieve it was Tissaia de Vries who made sterilisation a mandatory procedure for everyone who wants to study magic, because "the students needs to choose if they want to be a sorceress or a mother". The change was made a while after Geralt was born, since his mother was a sorceress.

Also didn't vampires come together with the other monsters and magic?

Aren't cat school massive fuckups who had shit mutations, ruined their entire school and became bandits and assassins almost entirely, giving all witchers a bad name?

How are Witchers not human?

Aren't they just humans genetically modified to be ubermenchs?

Or are they spliced with different species?

That's elves for you

Read fucking dune. Paul was supposed to be a woman and give birth to Quizat Haderach from than Harkonen dude.

Not really, they changed some things in game(which is fucked up).

No one liked witchers to begin with.
With humans on their ships.

All that weird shit that's done to them pretty much makes them mutant. Regular people are scared as fuck of them and only put up with them because they need them.

From that*

Wolf school is the one mentioned in detail and it is pretty much dying, after their castle was raided by a bunch of commoners and nearly everyone was killed they decided to slow the education down a bit and by the time of the first game they don't take people anymore.

The Gryff school is not mentioned in the books aside from the medallion that Leo Bohnart got from a witcher he killed. Ciri gives that medallion to Yennefer.

Cat school is pretty much finished, cats went out in the world and became bandits and murderers with superhuman reflexes. Nobody likes them.

All other schools are made up for the games.

She teleports into a different universe in the epilogue and meets a medieval knight who believes her to be a witch and wants to fuck her. She calls him an idiot and it is revealed that it is our universe.
The books are more necessary to understand the character relations. If you haven't read the books you won't understand the Triss/Yen/Geralt stuff as clearly and the whole Ciri situation will be a mystery for you.

Magic is not radiation. The way it is explained magic is pretty much taking natural energy around you and transforming it. You take to much and you potentially harm yourself.

Do the books take place before all the games?

Well there's a difference between modifying a human to enhance their already existing abilities and incorporation other species genetic material.

The only non-human trait that I see in Witchers are the cat eyes.

Witchers are dying out because they're not needed as much anymore
They kinda touched on that in the first game

They don't go into details, but it's hinted that they're spliced with other species

Yeah, it was particularly bad in 3

I swore they declared him the Kwisatz Haderach

Yes

having it be the story of Geralt was a pretty poor choice for a games, they should have had you start as a new witcher

What exactly did they change?

Yes they do, I believe it's either 2 or 5 years prior. Both Geralt and Yennefer die well it's more ambiguous but really in the end of the books, so the games just res them and continue.

Berengar was originally supposed to be the protagonist of the game. You were supposed to play your own new witcher.
However, the devs realised that everybody who read the books would just make Geralt out of him anyway and that it would severely limit the characters they could use they just made Geralt the protagonist. I believe it was the right choice.
Pics are Berengar's first and second version.

I remember certain anons calling the devs SJWs for adding Ciri and making the sorceresses so powerful when the third game is more related to the books than any of them.

They heal different, live longer, heghtened sense and reflexes, see in the dark, don't get sick, all types of shit that no regular human could ever achieve. Geralt actually puts up with a lot of shit, because of it and the friends he has he's made, because they actually accept him.
I'm forgetting a lot of stuff since it's been years, since I've read the books though. You should check them out. It would've been better before playing the third game, but they're pretty damn good.

No they didn't Ciri fixed them.

or I suppose ressurected is a better word

Kill yourself.

Double spacing is fine for full sentences, otherwise you have eye cancer walls of text.

I'd say the first game does the characters best. Triss is actually true to the books in it as a manipulative bitch and not just waifubait that does nothing wrong and truly loves you.

The last few books borrow heavily from the King Arthur myth, just as the first books borrowed from folk tales. In it, Avalon is the place where Arthur goes after death, and it is clearly the place where Ciri sends them after their death. Them waking up on th island of joy ambiguous, it is unclear if Ciri fixed them or if it is afterlife or some kind of an illusion.

Mostly things related to gameplay, made some of the countries irrelevant and added some rules, like the recent "Only a high vampire can kill another high vampire".

They just mucked with the whole plot of the third game and it's relations to how the book series worked

Most of it revolved around Ciri and why the Wild Hunt actually wants her, the game reason and book reason are really different, same goes for why the Emperor wants her too

I'm not completely convinced, especially since you could have easily gone through the first 2 games without Geralt, the only game where he's almost a necessity is 3, but that's because it's so closely tied to the books

Hilariously enough, she's exactly like that in the second game as well, but they completely ignore it cause muh waifu

If you are greedy. They explained that magic is the power you take from elements. Water, earth, fire and air. Its dangerous if you are

Expect the one book set in future(300-500 years?)

And witchers themselves hate it.

There was an old prophesy about end of the world by ice. Educated people understand that it was natural ice age because of sun/something in the air/or some regular shit like that. But peasants worship it as if its about evil evil bullshit magic. But in game peasant version is the correct one because natural ice age is less epic story than EVIL EVIL PROPHESY OF DESTRUCTION BECAUSE OF FORCES OF EVIL! They even make a point of this in books, that prophesy will happen but in like few hundred years.

1st and 3rd game have same fucking plot except different names. Dijkstra become Taler, Yen become triss, ciri become alvin.

Yeah, in the game it feels like everybody just forgot that her child is destined to rule the world.

Without Geralt the game would be completely different. Geralt is his own character with established friends, enemies and dislikes. The new character would either be a bland uninteresting fuck in an interesting world which he isn't allowed to interact with or just do the mass effect thing and determine the friends and preferences for the player I still can't forgive bioware for dropping the option to be a space racist in 2 and to hate robots in 3

Well, the power from elements is not the only kind of magic. The unicorns explain to Ciri that normal magic is just showoff shit and her abilities are much more powerful.

Also Witcher books constantly have flashforwards to the future, like the bait and switch where graverobbers discover Dandelion's manuscript hundreds of years later and burn it.

In the third game the prophecy is also explained as a natural ince age that will possibly wipe out humanity and that all worlds are prone to. The reason Eredin wants to conquer another world is because the White Cold is coming to his own soon and he needs a place for his entire race to live.
But Ciri just undoing that shit is bullshit.

My memory is hazy, but i remember I had way more of a problem with Yennifer than anything Triss did in the books. I felt like during one part she was too over the top in the first game.

I sort of thought of it as a place where they were being healed. i probably would've thought of them as dead if Ciri wasn't so crazy powerful and the wild hunt was defeated before that.

This is what grated on me the most about the 3rd game, especially since the Witcher universe isn't one well suited for "epics" since they try to maintain this ground of semi-realism, also since Geralt isn't "chosen" or even all that strong or powerful

Yenneger isn't even in the first game.

In the end of the books Triss has a choice of either helping Ciri for Geralt and Yennefer or joining the Lodge and taking Ciri there, and she chooses the latter.

If you're interested in the others you probably shouldn't come in threads like this. you'll end up getting spoiled. The books are pretty good though. Maybe play the second game to get you more into the characters and then read them. Unless you think you would just enjoy them now, but the games feel kind of bland in comparison, obviously.

It's funny because Yenn is a manipulative bitch who truly loves Geralt.

If you like shitty pollak wish fulfilment maybe.

Sounds like a pretty accurate representation of poland

Ciri was supposed to bear a child who will have the power to move all elfs to a better world.
Too bad in future after ice age everything is fine. Universities and shit.

Usually they have "epic" stuff. But its always revealed to be pretty usual stuff. Wild hunt(a bunch of faggot elfs), nifgaards(not evil army of darkness, but regular army), evil monsters(often revealed to bu just like normal people/better than regular people), prophesy of the end of the world(natural ice age), elf freedom fighters(just nilfgaard pawns).

Everyone loves him.

I meant Triss in the first game. Yennefer I still haven't really played the third game, so I have no idea if I'll like Yennifer in it. i just hate her from the books.

I think there was some reasoning behind it though, where she was pretty much just being naive and regretted it later.
I wish I knew what happened to some of the other sorceresses in the books. I remember really liking one, but I don't even remember who.

Books are great except than ciri grows older and starts doing her bullshit. except than they start "invincible" bandit gang who can defeat everyone. Until someone hired a real fucking murderhobo who murders whole gang. That part was so fulfilling.

I really liked that part too. Her and her friends were a bunch of faggots. (quite literally)

M8 what?

Very few people actually like Geralt without some ulterior motive, Dandelion, Triss and Ciri are among those few.

Most of the women he fucks in the books only fuck them only because they don't know any better or because they know about his relationship with Yennefer and want to hurt her. Or to spy on him due to his relationship with Ciri. Or to make him do something. Essi didn't fall into these categories and she's dead.

She regretted it after Geralt and Yennefer died.

Who was the sorceress?

Tissaya de Vries, the clean freak that kills herself?

Fringilla Vigo, the nilf spy?

Keira Mez the giant slut who broke her leg at Tannedd?

Francesca Findabair, the most beautiful elf?

Philippa Eilhart that tries to owerthrow the redanian king?

Lytta Neyd aka Corall, who was known for being a huge bitch?

Assire var Anahyd, another nilf bitch?

Lydia, the blind helper of Vilgeforz?

Very few of them deserve any sympathy.

They were only invincible because Ciri was actually trained unlike everyone around her. Bohnart ending that shit was great.

I am fairly certain that the world Ciri is in at the end is the world of the Arthurian legend. I remember the knight taking Ciri to see Merlin.

I don't really remember, but I'm guessing maybe Keira Mez. Was she the one hanging out with him at the party?
I think I might have liked Philippa Eilhart and Fringilla Vigo too, but I don't remember if Philippa was a bitch or if the second game just made her overly seem that way. He was sort of seeing Fringilla while she was spying on him, but started actually falling for him right?

You know, I checked the books and you are right. She meets Galahad and he takes her to Camelot.

Yes, she was in a see through dress an Geralt had to carry her.

Philippa was a bitch since she betrayed Dijkstra for her own intersts. She might have had a thing with Geralt in the past or may have not.

Fringilla was spying on him while pretending to be his lover and in a way did develop feelings for him, her crystal helped Geralt greatly in the battle of Stygg.

Peasants hate him(but theyare hardly people). Dragons like geralt, wenches want his clean dick, other witchers hardly like anyone but they dont dislike him either. He have a fucking reputation and a lot of people read stories about him. So, peasants dislike everyone except their fucking crops, so they dont count. Dwarfs like everyone who is not an asshole, elfs hate everyone and they need their goddess to show up to them and tell them to fuck off geralt(and they hate everyone). Vampires usually like him, monsters(who are moru humane than regular humans) like him. Witches either like him or want to exploit him. Nobles usually like him unless they need his death. Wizards see him as a rival.
There also a small matter of Geralt reputation as the butcher of blaviken, but apparently no one cares anymore.

Also if I still recall correctly, Ciri did go to our real life world and stumbled into a town riddled with the black plague, thus accidentally causing what would be known as the Catriona plague in the witcher universe

Geralt is a special case because he has a reputation of the best swordsman of the north, not necessarily because it is true. Geralt's reputation comes from his best friend being a popular bard who constantly uses detatils of his personal life in his performance. As a result people know him and have high expectations for him, even though somebody like Eskel is pretty much equal to him in everything except maybe magic.

It is not clear what world it is, just one with a plague.

as if this shitty series couldn't get any worse

There was a wizard who fucked yen and he could hold up to geralt. And half of time geralt negotiates with monsters instead of murdering them. Geralt on his drugs probably could defeat everyone anyway. Or not, he was badly injured quite a few times.

She is the worst thing in series and I am pretty sure he admitted that he was tired of writing witcher and half of it was fanservice.

I always got the impression that the author of the series has a huge femdom fetish.

Ystredd could probably fight Geralt and win if he used magic, but he went into the fight as a suicide attempt.

Geralt is not exactly special outside of the hair and his loud friend. He gets badly fucked up when he makes a mistake taking off the Striga curse. He gets fucked up by drowners and only saved by a guy who happened to be nearby. He gets into a fight with an amphibia and barely survives. Vilgeforz could easily kill him whenever he wanted and without Regis' assistance Geralt would die immediately.

right under temple of the eternal FAIA is the Cat school gear part 1, there the mage Ireneus var Steingard lab notes describe Cat school as being elves in majority, he also enslaved and tortured Kiyan.

ive been looking everywhere for it but, Trial of the grasses/Witcher idea isnt exactly 100% human is it?

I think I sort of remember remember this stuff. I should probably read the books again before playing TW3, but I think all together it was kind of long and there's other things I'd like to do too.

I don't think it was femdom. Really seemed to be more of a fixation with unhappy relationships. Geralt goes from unhappy relationship to the next, and the happy moments always lead to him losing the people he considers important.

Didn't Geralt undergo more mutations than the average Witcher because his body responded so well to the first set of trials? He's not invincible, I mean Vilgefortz or whatever wiped the floor with Geralt using just a metal staff. But I think he is a super witcher.

Maybe that too, but Geralt was always written as super subservient to women. Especially when the book went off on that fuckin tangent where Geralt and Dandelion and Regis spent pages talking about how they support abortion and that what a woman does with her body is her choice because that slut they were traveling with, Milva, got knocked up by some random elf.

...

Seriously, Yen is a total cunt. There's no excuse for her behavior, I don't care if she used to be a hunchback.

He is not a super witcher, it is mentioned that Eskel is pretty much his equal. I believe his eyes react to darkness better and that's about it.
He also has a genetic advantage in magic with his mother being a sorceress. Multiple mages told him that he could easily make a good mage if he studied it on more than a basic level, but he refuses, either from mutual dislike betwheen them or maybe because of his relationship with his mother, or lack thereof.

She's a skanky bitch what do you expect?
It wouldn't surprise me if she was the ugliest of all the sorceresses before the magic too.

...

Well obviously alchemists were most involved with creation of witchers. The idea of witchers is creating murdermachine that will clear out all the monsters. And to create witcher you need to kill a lot of small kids. Sounds like something that druids will do.

She makes fun of him because she is a bitch.

I like to think that Geralt was naive when it came to women. He wasn't really willingly subservient, but he was really unknowingly affiliated with a lot of manipulative women. I'd wholeheartedly agree with the femdom sentiment, except that he wasn't specifically into sorceresses. He had flings with people like Essi and Shani. For some reason he just attracted the manipulative ones like his dick was made out of crack.
Now that you mentioned abortion, I'll get to talk about one of my favourite things in the books. How Nilfgaard is portrayed in the books. Nilfgaard isn't reduced to just the evil oppressor country. It's a pretty civilized place with its own societal norms and whatnot. I figured Nilfgaard is to the northern kingdoms what Germany was to Poland. I really appreciated Sapkowski's more complex take on the "enemy".

A lot of people end up like Geralt. You fall in love with someone that does things to you that you would never do to them. I'm sure he knows he'd be better off with someone else, but he can't stop thinking about her. He's made it quite clear that he wants her all to himself and she just acts like a bitch about it and leads him on to believe that someday he'll be happy.

He wassupposed to be different but its not clearly explained. He is better than everyone. And witchers was supposed to have no human emotions. Except they do. So he is different and thats about it.

Half roman empire half nazi germany. Early books portray them as absolute Sauron-like evil, like nazi germany was usually portrayed, and later they were closer to Rome versus northern barbarians/poland.
He is hundred years old. He understand than someone manipulate him, but what he is going to do about it? They are still mostly his friends. And he is kinda sorta likes them anyway.

She used to be a hunchback, so you might be right. Then again the others also had problems.

Geralt is more old-fashioned I believe. For exapmple, he never talks bad about "his" women and doesn't really let people around him do that without repercussions, he is also very secretive about his relationships. He doesn't say it out loud but out og his and Yen's relationship it is pretty clear that he is a romantic, which is not exactly good for him.

Nilfgaard is really a mix of Nazi Germany and Soviet Union, but it would be wrong to equate them. Features of these real countries also can be seen in other countries in the witcher universe. For example, a poster similar to this one is mentioned as part of northern agitation.

What about Ves? (Witcher 2)

Witchers do have emotions, all of them. Every witcher in the books gets emotional at one point, including episodic ones like Brehen.

Ves is a one-time fuck with no pretence of serious relationship, just like Shani in the books.

Kill yourself redditfag. There is nothing wrong with a paragraph at normal spacing.

I thought Geralt hated portals

And look at Geralt relationship with man. Geralt is a big guy and everyone is using him as a big guy. Spies, nobles, kings. They just more direct with him. It seems its just in witches nature to scheme instead of directly talking with Geralt. For exaple Triss is insecure and Yen is a bitch and all witches in general love ti scheme like a fucking tzeenchians they are!

I mostly think of the books and the games as separate stories. Geralt not remembering shit about his past changes the dynamic a lot. As far as the games go, I found game Geralt to be quite different from the book Geralt. I agree with .

At least I got the Germany part right. Regarding Geralt and his relationships, it wasn't really intentional manipulation Yennefer's part either. They kind of had a relationship where neither of them were really normal human beings. Both had had a pretty shit life and they were kind of emotionally stunted. Yen probably because of her sorceress training, and Geralt because he was being a retard and tried to suppress his emotions because witchers weren't supposed to have any. So they were two people who didn't know what the fuck to do or how to really be with other people.

He hates portals because during a time when portals were in and going anywhere without a portal was uncool he once saw a man get split in half by one of them. The fad died shortly after. Portals are useful as shit and there are times for them, but mages abuse them and shit is risky as hell.

(Checked)

Even Letho has what you'd loosely call feelings and emotions, a goal and clear motives for his actions.

Witchers aren't the robots that everyone seems to think they are- so is it the general world's inhabitants lack of understanding that perpetuates that?

I suppose so.

All they know of Witchers is that they charge you for killing monsters and they fuck your wives.

Pretty basic shit.

And they end up retiring to a Vineyard instead

Does that mean that Geralt is a source?

The witchers themselves have to work out a calm and cynical outlook on the world fast or die in the first year on the path. The witchers who live long enough to be considered professionals are cold bastards.

Well, that's the game.

I think Witchers purposely push the myth that they're all emotionless sociopathic killing machines. Makes their jobs easier when people are afraid to fuck with them.

that's brutal

He isn't. He is not of elder blood, he is just sensitive to magic and can do things with it that a regular witcher can't, like using an amulet to create an illusion of his sword.

No, source is like seven son of a seven son of a seven son who got appropriate genes.

Aren't all wizards/Sorceresses sources?

Nope, they just have higher sensitivity to magic than normal people.
A normal person can learn to do magic too but it would take them an insane amount of time and effort and they wouldn't be much good at it.

I know that Ciri is a source are Yen or Triss Sources?

What about Vilgevortz?

Only Ciri.
Sources are descendants of Lara Dorren, they can travel through dimensions and do insane shit. Ciri is the result of sorceresses conspiring to celectively breed nobles to get the child with a desired effect.

Yennefer is powerful, but not exactly top-tier.
Vilgeforz is insanely powerful and a quick learner, most likely the most powerful mage of his time. The games hint at him making a contract with Gauther O'Dimm and then tricking him.

No.
Yes, if he wanted to fuck Ciri. Or he just had this gene. Or was he just wanted to use ciri as a womb and instead of breeding just extract relevant stuff from her?

He didn't want to fuck Ciri and he wasn't part of the Lara Dorren bloodline.
And yeah, he wants to take her placenta out.

So how OP would Geralt be if he studied hard as a mage?

Could he get as magically powerful as let's say Triss or Yen?

And then how super fucking OP would Ciri be if she got the Witcher mutations?

Maybe as Triss, probably not Yen.

Ciri probably wouldn't survive the witcher mutatons and she is already op.

But Triss can call down meteor showers.

Goddamn a mage Witcher would be unstoppable.

Even Higher Vampires would be completely fucked.

Have you ever went all mucnhkin in the witcher 2? Sword path is alright, but alchemy path makes you a god and magic path lets you fuck everyone up in slow motion without giving a fuck.

The reason witchers use simple magic is because signs don't require much concentration and movements so you can do them in th middle of a battle with a sword in your other hand. Becoming a mage would make the witcher reflexes useless.

Ciri is already OP mage. She just decide not to use her most powerful shit that makes her insane. And geralt have no reason to learn something new. He could become a fucking priest or alchemist, but why?

All witches are about the same power.

Geralt can be stopped only by fighting him 1k peasants vs 1 drunk geralt.
And world of witcher have antimagic amulets and shit. Everything but most powerful magic can be countered. In most cases no one relies on magic, usually everyone just make complicated plots. It doesnt matter if you are superwizard, if you get cocky someone just poison you or make a plot to kill you. Murderhobos are really strong in witcher world. If witchers are made to kill monsters, murderhobos are made to murder people. Although its possible for wizard to just retire to his tower and live there forever.

Not really. Triss herself says that Yennefer is much stronger and more experienced.

That reminds just how much Elves fucking suck in the Witcher

Ciri is stronger than any of their Mages

Geralt and Bonhart would beat any of their swordsmen. In fact Geralt fucked Imlerith right the fuck up.

Not to mention that humanity is far more fertile thus will always have a larger population.

The only fucking thing that Elves have that's superior to humans are average facial aesthetics and long life spans(Both can be diminished by mutagens or magic)

Fucking elves suck

Well, Ciri's power was originally elven. Humans pretty much stole it.

Exactly, that's what i like the most about the saga. Geralt is just a regular witcher, maybe an above average one, and just happens to fuck some sorceresses from time to time and end up in the the most wtf situations thanks to the people he knows, and fucks of course, even the whole Ciri situation started at random if I remember correctly.

Same mutations as the others, white hair came out by chance, wasn't very common but it could happen.

He did get additional mutations, but it is unclear what it did to him beside changing his hair color.

Which is even funnier because the Elves are eternally cucked because Humans cucked Avallac'h.

Avallac'h is a little bitch and I was very sad I couldn't kill him in the end of tw3 for everything he did to Ciri.
Trusting the Fox is a stupid idea to begin with.

All Elves are fucking Bitches.

Hell Caranthir was the only reason why the wild hunt was even a fucking threat.

Eredin died like a weak little bitch.

Shirru wasn't a bitch, but then again he was a halfie.

Source? Don't know or recall anything of this

witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Elf

Just looked it up.

Apparently Elves can't into basic agriculture.

One of the notes i read in the game referred to early generation of Witchers as being more psychotic and violent and your average Eskel-Lambert-Geraltie-poo type.

that's why the elves so fucking butthurt. They're outclassed by gorillas wielding sticks. Sound familiar?

They do try grow things out of desperation, but they can't grow much on shit lands they are forced to live at.

Witches, not witchers.

I believe Geralt mentions it once in the books, but I'm not sure where exactly.

my bad

May I just interject for a moment…

This is probably the best, informative thread I've seen on Holla Forums for a long time- free from bickering and flaming.

You guys are alright.

Kill yourself faggot

pls no meta

Where do you guys think Geralt is actually from? I saw many people say Kaedwen but never any proof. From what I understand he was born when Visenna was next to Kaer Morhen.

Well he was raised in Kaedwen but then again he doesn't really have any connection to his heritage.

Well, he did pretend to be from Rivia just to belong to some place, he even learned to fake the accent.

fuck off nigger, you just don't understand the lore and neither do half the people (see , >>9554473) in this faggot thread

Thanks Doc.

Hell, the emperor of Nilfgaard likes Geralt and considers him a good friend. It just doesn't stop his ruthless pragmatism and cunning.

They ran the amnesia plot so that they'd have an excuse to let the player make decisions that would go against Geralt's character normally and have Geralt do shit he'd normally refuse on principle.

Wrong series. I think that's like Wheel of Time or shit.

There can be sources that aren't the descendants of Lara Dorren, but Lara Dorren's lineage is extra special with bullshit powers. I think shit normally goes tits up with sources outside Lara Dorren's lineage.

Duny/Emhyr has no principles. He murdered his wife for power, he sacked the city his daughter was in and ordered Calante brutally murdered.
The fact that he refuses to fuck his own daughter in the end is nothing short of a miracle.

Why exactly would he give the Empire over to his Daughter.

She can rule with power unmatched.

Isn't she the strongest human when it comes to combat.

I she fucked Caranthir right the fuck up.

Because if he fucked her his son would take over the world, or maybe a couple more worlds.

How do you even rape Ciri?

Stop her from Teleporting away?

She's practiclly a demi-god.

Avalac'h did it fine.
All Emhyr would have to do is keep Geralt captive for a while under a constant threat of execution.

No, it's her kid that's powerful

Ciri is ridiculously powerful too.

Retarded nigger who needs to gas himself immediately.

Are you ignoring that she's the strongest entity in the whole Witcher universe with the exception of O'Dimm?

Somebody with actual training could beat her, Caranthir was close and Avalac'h could probably fuck her up if he wanted to.

WHERE THE LEGS OF THE GIRL ON THE BACK?!

Did you see what she did in the final battle once she could let lose because the Wild Hunt wouldn't detect her anymore?

She fucking killed every warrior in a single hit and then Fucked up Caranthir by far the strongest member of the Hunt.

Caranthir was not the strongest, he was just experienced with the same kind of magic that Ciri uses. He doesn't have as much potential as her but he can definitely negate the effects of her explosions.
Also Caranthir was weakened by Geralt.

Caranthir is Avalac'h's pupil, and he only has a fraction of his knowledge. Avalac'h himself is not much of a fighter, but Ciri wouldn't be able to run away from him and hi magic.

...

Just send her back to Camelot again. They'll take care of it.

Nigger he summonsed the white frost and froze ALL of the defenders of Kaer Morhan except Ciri and Vesemir.

He was the key to transporting the Hunt from place to place and he was the product of a breeding program to create a super Elf.

Not the strongest my fucking ass.

Also Eredin was easy and died like a bitch.

He didn't freeze Eskel because he covered under simple Quen.
Avalac'h did the same and taught that nigga everything he knew. If Avalac'h didn't have such a boner for Ciri's blood he'd kill her in an instant and nobody would even be able to stop him.

Avalac'h is probably a weak little bitch in combat.

He's the only fucking member of the Aen Elle who's not a big guy.

He is supposed to be the same height as Eredin in the books, don't know what happened there.

Also Eredin says that he is never wrong and most Aen Elle are scared to shit of him.

And yet he got cursed and fucked over by Eredin.

Avalac'h did nothing wrong

So user's if you could use one Witcher sign in everyday life which would it be?

Personally I'd choose Axii, for all those sweet benefits of swaying people to my side.

He got cucked

Quen. Stop bullets and shit. But only if it's Quen from the first game.

Why is Quen the best sign in every fucking game?

That is until Blood and Wine turn Aard into an Ice attack that can instakill.

...

she doesn't have any

her friends are helping her get onto the scale since she can't do it herself,

Quen is shit in the first game, Aard is OP in it.

No shit Axii, especially if he did it like in 2 instead of waving hands in front of people's faces.

Is this the most accurate depiction of jews in vidya?

Ciri handicapped herself because using mana from fire is dangerous and super destructive. Basically nuclear weapons.

Waste of potential right here.

>being this retarded and assblasted

Alii definitely. For a skilled user it's basically mind control, you can get whatever you want without conflict.

The rest are pretty sweet but you wouldn't get to enjoy them for long before you got sniped or poisoned.

Waait a minute.

...

what monsters lorewise haven't they done? Only thing I can think of are manticores and giant scorpions.

Well its time for Cyberpunk 2077, I'm actually really interested with what they can bring.

The engine is pretty solid and hope they let you customize your character this time.

this, aard is the shit in the expansion, way too op. I wish they wouldve made a mutation for every sign. Like make igni also poison the enemy. make quen so it has an electric effect that zaps niggers when near you as long as you keep holding it Make axii sort of a choke hold that can steal enemys health.. make yrden completely immobilize enemies when they step on it. i dont know i just want more of them
i know man, after just exploring a bit of toussaint, im itching for more lands.

Nice game.

How did he manage that some kind of good build?

According to Elves yeah

Yes
Elves hate humans largely because of that. Before humans came elves lived like hippies with no farming or hunting and survived on welfare by various deities. Humans came and actually worked for their food which made elves lose favor from their respective deities. Humans also were able to harness magic without any help.

The idea is that the original world of humans was destroyed and they moved to the present world. Its all open to speculation as I don't think there is anything concrete about it in the books or the games.

Vilgefortz killed Regis until the latest expansion(not that I am complaining about his reappearance)

Alright, imagine the following: You are a mutated, infertile guy (that lives way longer than normal, so even if nobody wants kids the marriage would end painfully) whose job is hunting dangerous shit. It's a high-risk high-reward job. There were many cases of witcher taking up the contract and not getting paid because the contractor betted on them kicking the bucket and didn't even prepare any cash.

Would you rather be publicly considered a normal, if extremely dangerous, human or an emotionless force of nature not to be fucked with, literally and virtually?

He would probably become most physically powerful mortal. Based on his ability to intuitively create illusions with no training and just some help from crystal given to him, Gearalt could probably get as powerful as Yennefer if he studied magic since childhood, and be somewhere around an average sorcerer if he started studying late in his life. If you factor in Geralt's inhuman speed and reaction time, durability, potions, and experience, he could probably outmatch Vilgefortz.
Just imagine Geralt using his illusion skills to create multiple images of himself to distract opponents or using his knowledge to develop signs further and making them more powerful.

She is not. She rejected learned magic of elements and all she has are magical abilities that she inherited from her ancestors. Ciri can't cast spells any more, and her ability to control giftes of elder blood is imperfect.

Yeah. Elves are like upper middle class and upper class welfare kids that lack ability to compromise and adapt, can't come up with anything of their own and either ask parents for stuff or steal it from others. For Elves, their parents were Elven deities and a small community of ancient elven wizards. Once both of these were gone, Elves had to hide in the mountains and forests while barely getting by on what they can poach or steal.

Meanwhile, inferior humans developed agriculture, domesticated various animals, defensive architecture, alchemy, machines like siege engines, robust postal and courier system, dams, mining industry to rival dwarves and gnomes, and learned how to use magic without help from deities, being less magically inclined and having shorter lifespans than elves.

High Vampires seem to be pretty unkillable. Vilgefortz completely burned Regis with flame spell that left only a glass like husk, but Sapkowski still implied that Regis wasn't out completely both in interviews and Regis' ghost not being present at the end of the last book.

They did almost all monsters that had description in the books or Slavic myths. From the top of my head, there was still Oczoglów, actual Ehinosp which should look like porcupine/hedgehog on steroids instead of a plant, various werefolk like wererats and werecats, three monsters of unknown species that Geralt encountered when visiting Toussaint in the books, and Dębostwór which is sort of like an Ent from LotR but not intelligent.
