Pretty much. The main draw of the Illuminati is that your handler is hilarious.

While we're talking about games, I'd like to say that the Witcher 2 is imo just as good as Witcher 3 is and Letho is one of the best antagonists in all of video gaming.

@Urs - Yeah.

I do 🙂

Who do you main? 🙂

I didn't played much in last time, but it was #1 Bowser, #2 Pikachu and #3 Kirby.

We may can play soon 🙂

I identify with Kirby.

Do I have to play the others before Inquisition?

Some of the best things about DAI for me were lore mystery reveals. Which you wouldn't understand without playing the first two games.

I actually took like half a year break from W2 because the part before you choose between Roche and Iorveth was so boring. I'm rather pissed they didn't bring him and Saskia back for W3 tho. They are one of the best characters in the whole series.

Damn straight. Iorveth is awesome, not as much of a bro as Roche but I'm pro-Vergen everytime. I felt pretty terrible at end when I

I'm sure it adds to the experience. But I didn't, and it worked fine.

Though granted, a watched a neat lore series beforehand.

Also, has anyone here played the first Witcher. 🙂

Me. It's great. Gameplay is dated obviously, but the story is really good.

The choice at the end of Act I was great. Even though

Witcher 2 definitely had a better story and I loved how the entire middle of the game would be completely different based upon a choice made in part 1. But the combat in that game was an absolute bore. And it takes far too long before the gaming actually becomes interesting.

Letho was great though. “Bow low, you stand before a head crowned.”

I agree, the story of Witcher 3 wasn't its strongest element. I feel like the game was just too open which made the pacing pretty bad and the villains were very weak. I never felt any tension or urgency in the plot which sucks. I also feel like W3's combat starts off being very strong but gets boring at a point where you become overpowered enough to just own everything.

With W2 you do need to push through the start but after that is becomes phenomenal.

Kind of problem endemic with these open world titles in general tbh, I fear MEA will fall into similar pitfalls.

That said, the expansions were excellent, in many ways better than the main story tbh. Especially Hearts of Stone.

Yeah I played it in the run up to the Witcher 3, the gameplay was a real slog but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The ending with de Aldersberg was especially good.

But yeah, I sucked it to the villagers too. 🙂
