Nonek Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Well the enhanced edition of Assassins of Kings offered two large quests, one for each path as well as numerous changes and modifications to the base game. I suppose one could judge that as dlc. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
BruceVC Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 TW2 has free DLC while DA2 has bucket loads. Well it's not like Witcher DLCs are the same scale. The new missions were much shorter than Legacy or Mark of the Assassin in DA2. But Bioware/EA DLC have ridiculous prices. I can't even recall how much I spent on DLC for DA2, ME2, and ME3. I'm sorry to say this Rhamnetin but I have decided to forbid you from playing the Witcher 3 when it is released. You have been far too negative about the genre and I feel I need to make an example. I know this may sound harsh but if I see a concerted effort from you to be more positive about the game I quite possibly may change my mind. But until then no Witcher 3 for you !!!! 2 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

anubite Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) And to be fair, a lot of the DLC BioWare has put out hasn't be worth $7. Not that I've played any of them, I admit, but I have youtube'd a majority of them out of curiosity. For one thing, they've been ruining DA:O and DA2 with all those awful twink DLC items. I mean, yeah, you don't have to use them, but it's rather disgusting the best items in both games are all DLC and they're the best by huge margins. Not even comparable to the base game items. Edited August 17, 2013 by anubite I made a 2 hour rant video about dragon age 2. It's not the greatest... but if you want to watch it, here ya go:

And said items are accessible right from the start lol. Though when it comes to DLC weapons, there are base game items that are even better than those. I don't think that can be said for armors however. Right click -> Destroy for the win.

Tagaziel Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Yennefer better be hot. That's a pretty good cosplay of her novel appearance. I wager you'll get your wish.

Keyrock Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Yennefer better be hot. Yennefer was always characterized as rather attractive, although it is alluded to that she was once a hunchback. It's fairly common practice for sorceresses to augment their looks with magic, since it often helps to be sexy looking when trying to influence important dignitaries. Think of it as magical boob jobs, nose jobs, etc. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Humanoid Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Hopefully it's alteration/transmutation magic rather than illusion/phantasm or enchantment/charm magic. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Nonek Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Wouldn't be at all surprised if Yennefer, her memory gone from her time with the Hunt, had intrigued and seduced her way into Emhyr's bed. There's a note in Shilards tent that i've just found, giving his regards to the Emperor's consort, strange wording for false Ciri the Empress and the whole thing gives off a Chekhov's gun vibe to me.

Guest Slinky Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Maybe Geralt gets an arrow through the knee while visiting Skyrim, takes a job as a town guard and tells about it to everyone who comes within 6m from him.
