    The ultimate asshole move is to sleep with Abigail and then turn her over to the mob anyways.

    I'm so doing this when I get my hands on this game.

    Also.... Side with the witch. After all, her 'job' is only two letters different from your own. And those villagers are a buncha punks anyways.

    I think Blain can already expect that the general opinion here is always going to be "Bone" over "No bone".
    Also, side with the witch.

    Which is either very sad, or very.... Something. I don't know where I planned to go with that. But yeah, his own fault for allowing us to make Geralt such a man-slut.

    Let's be honest here, it doesn't necessarily have to be about Internet Nerd Syndrome™ and the usual "omigod get laed!!1". It's just so absurd to see Geralt prance around the world while every woman falls at the feet of this albino weirdo. Gotta get some poor portrayal of women on here, what kind of sissy fantasy doesn't have that? :P

    At least for me, the idea of Man-Slut Geralt is far more amusing than the alternative, regardless of whether there's pixel boobs involved or not.

    +1 on siding with the witch. Having seen her sexcard, I'm interested in how Blain is going to censor it ;)

    And for what it's worth, the books are ok up until the final two, which are an absolute letdown. The end comes across as a monument to Sapkowski's ego.

    OOOH. Do tell more. Enquiring Minds want to know.

    [EDIT]So you get sexcards.... Is there like a sexcard minigame where you can trade newer cards for old ones you missed? Or like certain sexcards that can only be gotten via said minigame?

    "I'll trade you two Peasant Girls and a Triss for a Shani."

    The hokey part other people have brought up is that 1) this is a serious, dark-fantasy game in a world where morality is a huge gray area (sorta like what real life would be like if elves and dwarves were involved) and 2) women everywhere are down to party and you can collect nudey cards of them after the deed is done.

    Basically, a weird interplay of "mature" and "not even approximating mature let alone reality".

    That said Geralt runs through every chick he comes across when I play because the little mini-fetch quests are fun little diversion most of the time.

    It also seems that almost every chick with a name knows Geralt personally from before his attack of amnesia.

    Also, pertaining to.... the last video of Lazy Day of Getting Paid, I think Geralt remembers the King of the Wild Hunt because it was the thing he was running from in the beginning of the game, before the other Witchers found him.

    Let's just team up with the guy. No reason to turn down help when it's offered, especially if it's from someone who isn't (or, considering this game, hasn't yet proven to be) an utter bastard.

    Still... one thing I'm curious about...
    If you'd sided with Abigail, would you have been able to permanently get rid of the Beast? I mean it just seems like all it would take is a bit of time before the village's combined nastiness would summon another one.

    Or would Geralt have simply explained to Shani why killing the witch was the right thing to do to get rid of the Beast?

    Team up with Siegfried. From what I recall, he is a remarkably decent guy for the witcher universe, apart from being a little zealous. Unless I've forgotten something horrible, that is.

    EDIT: Here's my latest attempt. I switched to Xvid instead of H.264. We'll see if it works.

    BlipTV is far better than youtube as far as i can tell. It's higher quality, allows longer video lengths and won't delete you videos so long at they are presented in an episodic style with commentary. Though i dunno if subs count as commentary to them so people uploading to it should keep that in mind.

    So, our dealings with the elves got a drug dealer killed. Surprisingly, I'm not feeling too broken up over that.

    I say we distribute 3 points on Stamina 1&2 as well as Igni Student, leaving 6 points for others distribute.

    As for the fighting prize, I don't really care, but the Golden Necklace sounds good.


    Now for the important bit. It sounds like 'going out back' is a service this particular inn offers to anyone. In that case, I feel it would be prudent to seek out a more respectable and upper-class establish-

    Hah, no. I kid. Let's bone her.

    Funny how noone is bothered by you Geralt barging in at night.

    As for choices, I say:
    (1)Stamina 1, 2 & Poison Resistance [EDIT: Right, so go for Level 2 on all the Silver Sword styles]
    (2)Mandrake, I guess, as they might be harder to get than the other stuff, maybe?
    (3)Do you really have to ask?

    Well, we do have to do our bit to help Vizima's ailing economy, now don't we?

    And, of course, we can do this both directly by engaging the services of the small businesswoman and by giving people hope for a brighter tomorrow, however small.
