based rian

Peragus was fine. It's the place after it that sucks. Feels cramped.

Telos I think is one of the places that suffered from the game being unfinished. IIRC there was a lot more planned for it than what we actually got.

>tfw unironically like peragus

Nioh is superior, I'm afraid.

i dont listen to people who think bioshock infinite is good

Why were you so quiet when our teammate recommended Bioshock Infinite? Because you know it's a good game.

i was left speechless that someone would have the AUDACITY to say that something i dont like is good

Update 14 - Ladies of the Wood



Johnny led me to a nest of harpies, from which he wanted me to retrieve his voice, which for some reason had been stolen and placed in a bottle. I did as he asked, but immediately regretted it because the little shit is annoying. He did have information on Ciri, however, saying that she’d headed to the orphanage I’d just been to. He took me back to Gran and convinced her to take me to the Crones - or rather, got them to possess her so that they could talk to me using her. In return for information about Ciri, they wanted me to solve a problem for them. As always.



I was sent to the nearby village of Downwarren, which had been having problems with some monster, one that, as usual, I was to kill. It made its lair in the Whispering Hillock, where I found an large, fleshy mass within a cave directly underneath a tree. The creature told me that she had been a druid killed by the Crones, who trapped her spirit beneath the tree. She wanted me to free her, somehow. At first I agreed, but changed my mind soon after, and killed the thing.



Finally, I was able to meet the Crones in person, and their appearances were rather unsettling, to say the least. At this point it was also revealed that Gran was in fact Anna Strenger, wife of the Bloody Baron, now bound to the Crones. They told that Ciri had stumbled into Crookback Bog, injured. They took her in, but only so that they could eat her. Upon learning about this, Ciri fled, at which point the Wild Hunt also appeared and entered the pursuit. This particular scene led into the King of the Wolves segment of Ciri’s story, with her escaping but falling somewhere.



Geralt obviously wasn’t pleased to hear this, and made sure the Crones knew that. There wasn’t much else to be done at this point except return to the Baron with what I had learned of Anna. While the Baron was unhappy that I hadn’t brought her back, he did share more his final piece of information relating to Ciri, which involved her saving him from the Basilisk that had appeared at the end of their race in a previous flashback before riding off to Novigrad to find a sorceress.



Following on from that, the Baron told more of his side of the story, revealing that Anna wasn’t entirely innocent. From the sounds of it, both of them were raging, violent lunatics. Pretty much made for each other. At least the Baron is repentant for his actions, not that it excuses or redeems any of them. Against Geralt’s advice, the Baron said that he would take his men to the swamp to save Anna from the Crones, and so I felt obliged to go and help him at some point. Suddenly, there was a random scene involving some Maisie Williams creature running into the room squealing which I guess will be important later.

With that, my destination now appears to be Novigrad, although I’ll probably stay in Velen for a bit and get some more side quests done, get my level up and whatnot.

played some pubg with chally so pretty good

Update 13 - Trail of Treats



I rode off from Crow’s Perch, but before heading to Oxenfurt I decided to visit Keira Metz again to see what she wanted. Along the way I completed some more quests and side activities, one involving putting down a lynch mob. Turned out Keira wanted me to lift some curse from Fyke Isle. I guess I’ll do that later, seems a bit high-level to do now.



My journey took me back to the Redanian-controlled bridge I had been to when I first arrived in Velen. The guy selling fake papers had wanted me to help his brother-in-law out clearing scavenging corpses in on a battlefield. At this point, I decided to go ahead and help him out, even though I was still pretty low level for it. I was able to protect most of the scavengers, but unfortunately the brother-in-law died, and so the guy refused to sell me any passes. Damn. Still didn’t need one right now, anyway.



Eventually, I reached Oxenfurt. This was the first truly large settlement I’d encountered, and I was pretty impressed - while this seems to be something that carries across to even small villages and minor locations, I love how alive and immersive the world fields. It’s clear how much effort CDPR put into this game. Bethesda could learn a thing or two. I picked up whatever I found on the noticeboard and continued my search for Tamara.



When I found Tamara, she didn’t seem overly enthusiastic at the prospect of returning to her father, and I couldn’t really blame her. She told me her side of the story, and also revealed that she had become a follower of the Eternal Fire, the same religion that one guy who tricked me ages ago was a part of. In the end, Tamara refused to go back to her father. Fair enough. As expected, the Baron was not pleased with this outcome. I had no other information on his wife, either, so he sent me away.



The only place for me to go now was Crookback Bog. In order to find these Crones I had to follow some Trail of Treats, which, sure enough, it was an actual trail of treats. After a short, meandering journey, I came to a small set of huts, empty save for a group of children. They didn’t know anything about Ciri. One of the kids mentioned someone called Johnny who might be helpful, but some old woman came and took him away, and told me to get lost as well.
I went to the other kids for help, but in return I ended up having to play Hide-and-Seek with them, like a real Witcher. Once finished, they stayed true to their word and distracted Gran while I spoke to the kid. Turns out this Johnny character had seen a girl with ashen hair come through, and could be found somewhere in the swamp. After fighting off some drowners and water hags in there, I came to a burrow, where a creature called a “godling” was hiding. This thing looks like a really old child - Johnny, I’m guessing. He couldn’t talk but did gesture for me to follow him, and so I did.
