Ha I had four nights off work to get it done. It's way longer than 10 hours worth of content unless played on piss easy difficulty. The final fight alone took me an hour and a half on deathmarch!
I've slept and am about to leave for work but the ending is still staying with me.
Aww, c'mon Veloth I need someone I can discuss how awesome Gaunter o'Dimm is with and how fantastic the voice acting was from both him and Olgierd Von Everec throughout the expansion. Very few give a shit here, was counting on your enthusiasm and lively debate. I need to know who the voice actors are because I missed them when the credits rolled.
I understand though, there are a few bugs although I haven't been affected by them as much as you. You do know you can play the dlc with a pre-generated level 30ish character just to experience it? I can guarantee you will want to play it again down the line anyway so once the bugs have been fumigated you could use your NG+ Geralt.
I'm dying to discuss the ending mate
You poor little Phil...
But seriously, I would discuss that if I even had time to play it. I haven´t played NG+ either, busy with so many things.
So you guys have to take care of the discussion to convince me to play Witcher 3 again, because for some reason I´m not really enthusiastic about it.
It's hard to talk about it without spoiling it but I can say that the moral ambiguity of the Bloody Baron character is present in Olgierd, the guy who acts as the challenger or adversary to Geralt compared to Gaunter O'Dimm who acts as a patron of sorts.
By turns I found myself deeply disliking Olgierd and also feeling incredibly sorry for him. These things aren't in your face either, like in some moments you don't find out the motivation until long after you first find out about the action.
For me, the end choice was a no brainer but I'd love to hear other's opinions.
Not to mention the new weapons: Sword of absorb health? Check. Sword of build up and release power like Auriel's Shield? Check.
Spoiler alert perhaps, Bryn? Careful, Veloth and Karver haven't played it yet.
I'm pretty sure Dariusz Odija is the Polish actor not the English Language one...?
So do you buy what the professor in the college says about him being pure evil? It seems to me that he is just the reflection of humanity, of the one asking for help rather than an embodiment of evil, although he did do some pretty bad stuff. That ending has just stayed with me. Powerful stuff.
The swords I'm on about are the Caretaker's Shovel - you can see it on Geralt's back in the last screenshot I posted - and Iris, the sword Olgierd gives you if you chose that ending. I didn't really bother with the Runewrite, didn't have 10k Crowns. Most of the powers I unlocked seemed unimpressive, although the ability to change your armour type, from heavy to light for example, can definitely open up more building possibilities.
