Re: Do you normally create a version of your own family?

@Midevil_Chaos 

Woahh, that was a bit of a ramble wasn't it! 😅😂

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Yes! Small dogs are the worst. God, Chihuahua are so bad. My cousins for reasons I'll never understand have those dogs. One of them is in the army... and it's so bizarre seeing him with a Chihuahua. Like dude, why? The Chihuahua is imo truly the only un-cute small dog there is.

Oh man, I didn't realize the Thomas the Train remix was gonna be badass. 😂😂😂 As for the Barbie Girl remix, I'd listen to that in the Medieval Period. How could I not, with a name like mine? Though my name has 2 meanings really. It helps to understand linguistics.

I'd back you up. I'd have both the brains and brawns to do so against those pesky jerks like in TW3 who just attack people for no good reason. 😂

I dunno about that. Straight laced seems... I dunno, boring? 🤣

I don't mind that she's a redhead, but that's not why I like her lol. I like her because she's just awesome. Opposites attract, I guess? It's not to say that Geralt (or myself for that matter) is cold and distant. Geralt can be cold and distant, I'll grant you that, which is probably why he likes having a warm and fuzzy woman.

As for Yenner, she's ok. But... she's more of a schemer. That's my job lol. And don't get me wrong, in terms of beauty and coldness, she's amazing when it comes to that. And her dresses and such, yeah, great fashion in comparison to Geralt. Oh!!! Speaking of which, I found this nice armour thus far called the "Redanian Halberdier's Armor". It's wicked looking, and I got a haircut.

Back to Yennefer, she does seem like the type who uses her beauty and charm to get her way, which is why I don't like her as much as Triss. Again, that's my job lol. In these games, I'll always max out my charm and whatnot, for obvious reasons.

I gathered he had amnesia, has he is quickly reminded of that in the game lol. Feel bad for him now, since he told Triss he loved her. But hey, what can I say? Geralt is a hopeless romantic somehow involved in a love triangle. Nothing strange about that... *facepalm*.

To be fair, I do think the relationship (from what I've seen of Yennefer) is to a certain degree toxic. I can deal with petty jealousy from Triss, but Yennefer's behaviour? Come on!

Cullen is just eye candy I guess(?) We know what type of men you like. 🤣

Yes! Playing Medieval Barbie is fun in games. A lot of people do it... including masculine men. 🤣🤣🤣 Who says you shouldn't look good when slaying monsters?

Bah! No worries, I prefer rambling as you call it as opposed to silence. 😄

@Midevil_Chaos 

Masculine man with a chihuahua. They must be the only kind of people that can handle them angry Chihuahuas it seems. 😂 

Yes indeed! Thomas The Tank Engine is the kind of badass song you need in your realm to frighten all the other possible invaders. 😂 

She is great! CDPR originally weren't going to have Triss as a romanceable option in TW3, but it seems they also have a soft spot for her, as they decided to go ahead and give the player a choice with that. I think you're right there about Triss and Geralt being opposites, Triss is a extrovert and Geralt is a introvert so they compliment each other well.

But I will say that Triss is probably more of a schemer than Yennefer. TBH most sorceresses that Geralt knows are quite scheming, seen as most that he knows are members of the lodge of sorceresses (Which Yennefer never was truly apart of.)  Triss does come across as a sweetie (which she is for the most part.) but definitely hides a lot from Geralt to attempt to manipulate him. She also helps scheme with the Lodge Of Sorceresses to get Ciri to be their power piece, but that was because she wasn't confident enough to say no to the other powerful members of the Lodge. In fact in one part of the books she lets herself get extremely ill (which sorceresses are immune to illnesses through the use of magic.) all just to try to get Geralt to look after her so he'd be closer to her as she's basically obsessed with him. 😂 He does indeed look after her, because he undoubtedly cares about her. But he doesn't let her get too close as his main priority is looking after a young Ciri at that point, but she disregards that in her attempt to make him love her like she loves him (Sapkowski was damn too much with that.) 😂 In the end she cries and admits she wants to be in Yennefer's position. I felt bad for her, I know many of Team Yennefer don't agree but I actually like Triss.

It's seriously one of the biggest debates in TW3, if you see some debates on forums or comment sections when Team Yen and Team Triss collide it is seriously crazy af! Some people can't just get over the way others play a game with choices when it's an integral part of the game! Like seriously, can't you just enjoy the game and can share your own opinions without getting so salty and serious about other people's choices? I have read some where people literally spew pure hate for one another just because they prefer one waifu more than another, jeeezz. 🙄

Plus, I seriously think CDPR do the Triss romance the best, I actually think it's the cutest one IMO. Even though I choose Yennefer. 😊

Cullen being a medieval Barbie is IT. 😂 Can't deny that, but don't worry, my inquisitor is definitely going for the TANK that is Blackwall next time! I actually like his banter with the others very much, and I agree with him the majority of the time. I have to say the most difficult thing about DA:I is picking who to take with you on quests. I want to take all of them! 😂😂 

For sure! 🤣 I'm really glad my girly is looking all glamourous for fighting dragons and everything in between. Lol 😂 

EDIT: I actually said to my friend I'd do the Dwarf playthrough with Iron Bull and Dorian next, but I think I have to do at least one more normal playthrough before I do that. 😂 Not sure if I'll ever actually be able to bring myself to do it really. Lol! But if I do I'll call my Inquisitor Hornack in homage to the man (Sorry Hornack.) 🤣🤣🤣

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Uhm... I think I am more masculine than my cousin. He's imo, a bit more... err, less masculine? That is, despite being in the army.

Imagine if they actually included that Thomas the Train ballad in the game. That would be so awesome, as many people wouldn't even realize that it's Thomas the Train, as it would become Thomas the Horse.

I am glad they added her in (Triss), since she's the best. I would have been upset had they not added her in the game. As for Yennefer, I sorta-ish like her. What about DAI, what are your fav characters so far? For me, I would say the Inquisitor, Josephine and Iron Bull.

You know, I think all those games should be romanceable, like in real life. Maybe not the weird love triangle that my Geralt is in... but rather a normal non-triangle. Oh God, I mean square. 3 women plus Geralt. That's even worse. 🥺 What has he done??? God have mercy...

Ok, with what you're saying about what Yennefer does, she's a complete psychopath. Like born and raised as one. Jeez, girl... she's insane. Thank God my Geralt loves Triss, Keira and Yennefer. Poor * *smh*.

You know, I always wondered if Ciri would ever fall for Geralt. After all, Geralt is a perv, and well I know nothing of Ciri lol. I wouldn't put it past either of them. AND you said that she wished she was in Yennefer's place. That says it all 😂 The adult Ciri looks good.

I definitely will stay away from those crazy people who think they can make people feel bad. Thank you for being on the front line and making sure those baddies don't try corrupting me and others. We both know Triss is better 🥰 She is warm and fuzzy, or bubbly as you said.

Concerning Cullen, alright, so Cullen is more akin to my cousin. I'm more like something in between Alastair (from DAO) and Blackwall. In real life, I'm definitely not a "Barbie". 😂😂😂 Don't get me wrong, I can look good if need be, but not my forte like my cousin with his Chihuahua.

Once I get back into DAI, I wanna show you my Barbie. She's a tall one, and she's a real badass.

Oh! The truth is, the Dwarf in my story is obviously cute enough, since he's dating this pretty damn good looking Human woman. If you ever create Hornack... please make him good looking. For the love of God, please do!

@Midevil_Chaos 

Go for it! be a masculine non Chihuahua owner. 😂

It seems I'll have to clear some of my previous message up 😂

I thought I'd put it correctly but it seems I might not have! Lol. It's Triss who wishes to be in Yennefer's place, not Ciri 😂 Geralt loves Ciri as a daughter and Ciri loves Geralt as her Father, I know he's a perv big time but that's too much even for Sapkowski! 😂🤣 Triss is the one who lets herself get ill to get closer to Geralt, as her love in the books is unrequited. Triss in the books who is the one who cannot stand up to the Lodge of Sorceresses until the end when she finally becomes stronger and choses the right decision in putting Ciri, Geralt and Yennefer first. Yennefer and Triss were actually close friends until Triss became obsessed with Geralt, of course leading to Yennefer becoming upset but does forgive Triss. Actually Triss isn't in the books much, so we don't get as much information about her as some others. Triss is actually probably around 40-30 years younger than Yennefer and Geralt. BTW just for reference Geralt and Yennefer are in their 90's and Triss is probably in her 40-50's it's never really specified when Triss was born, unlike Yen and Ciri so that's an around guess. Triss is the second youngest in the Lodge, the youngest is Keira, and the oldest is most likely Philippa.

TBH, Geralt has waayyyy to many flings in the books! He has 3 with redheads alone, which seem to be his weakness. 😂

What you said about Ciri and Geralt reminded me of The Crones saying "If she's shapely what does it matter, hehehe" 🤣

Lol, your is cousin going for the preened look and you're going for the rugged one! I get it, you bounce of each other. 😂 You're just being a little bit less Chihuahua! 🤣

Oooo, I love a barbie badass, as you know! 😂

Trust me, Hornack will be the "Absolute Babe of Thedas" that will be his nickname. Never mind the "Herald of Andraste"  🤣

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Are you saying I'm less masculine than my cousin? 😂 All I can say is that I am more charming than he is. For the sake of not insulting him [further], I will say no more. 🤣

Ohhhhh, that makes more sense about that triangle (square, whatever). Geralt is a Goddamn pig of you ask me lol. I'm just happy I'm less humble than him, much less of a womanizer than he is, but better looking. I did say less humble. 😂😂😂

That's weird they opted to include Triss in the game though. Don't get me wrong, I love Triss in comparison to Yennefer. As for Ciri, I still think she's got a thing for Geralt? Who wouldn't? Ok, I wouldn't for multiple reasons, but that being said, Ciri (adult) is good looking. I could say she's not my type, but her skill set against enemies is impressive as hell. It reminds me a bit of the main character(s) in Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Mordor (please tell me you have played it - if not, pleeeeeease get the game. I'll even buy it for you if I have to! 😂 ). I think you would absolutely love the game. Story is unfortunately only 10 hours long, but there is a boat load more to do in the game though.

And you are right, she is shapely (Ciri that is), whatever that actually means. Can't argue with 3 insane witches. I mean, how could you argue with them? Their word is absolute, and binding. That's how it is with witches.

Well, out of the 2, I am more similar to Blackwall lol. So yeah, more rugged than my cousin lol. Though, I wouldn't wear Blackwall's attire, as it's too... shapely? 

I appreciate you 😊 He will indeed be known as "The Absolute Babe of Thedas" or if you wanna take it a notch up: "The Deliciously Babelicious Dwarf of Thedas". 🤣🤣🤣

@Midevil_Chaos 

LOL! Your poor cousin is getting completely dissed here, poor thing! 😂

Go for it! Never hide your light under a bushel, as they say! There I go again with the stereotypical Grandma sayings! 😅🤣

OMG, no I haven't played that I'm so sorry. 😂 I did say I was no expert gamer though, I will totally look into it though. You really know your games, unlike me! 😅😂

Shapely just means a good figure! I suppose the most common way to say that is the word curvaceous. Blackwall being considered shapely too, huh. 😂 He's bit of a tank, so I suppose he is curvaceous really, Lol.

Absolutely!! 😂🤣 That does most definitely fit more! But could I recommend " The Hottest, Strongest, Most Desirable, Deliciously, Babelicious Dwarf of Thedas, Who Also Happens To Be The Shortest, Luscious Darling Of Andraste".  Him just being introduced would strike fear into all rivals. 🤣😂🤣

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Girl, he could whoop my *** - actually, I just assume, I don't actually know lol. Though I will say, he is a very small man (probably around 5"7). I will leave it at that, and not talk about the size of his hands.

Ok lol, I guess you want me to praise myself? I'm more educated than my cousin, I'm younger, better looking, fairly charming. If this wasn't enough, I have high IQ although I'm not very humble, but I am goofy like Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire. And unlike him, I don't have an accent when speaking French or English. Not that it matters, but I am a better writer than he is. Well... I guess it does matter, depending on the context(?). 😎

Oh! You are missing out. Please looking into it! There are 2 games, but I prefer the original one. Shadow of War is good, but not as good imo.

I figured that's what it meant, but in the context it really made him look like a pervert. Which he is, obviously. What can you say when you play as a man as perverted as he is? It's truly a shame that you can't temper his very liberal

tendencies. At some point, why does he have to be in a love rectangle? Next thing you know, it's gonna be a pentagon. Nobody wants to see... oh right, mostly male audience. *smh* Nevermind I guess. For me at least, I would have preferred him to be more tempered in that regard. But, what can you do? Keep playing lol. 😅

LOL, yes, right? Blackwall is a paragon of masculinity in his shapely attire. 😂😂😂 You know it! You know he's eye candy? I think, I will defer to you for that. 😂 In one of my female playthroughs, I actually went for him. It was probably the most epic backstory you could have witnessed honestly. 🙄 Oh, get your head out of the gutter, I am talking about the actual backstory that was epic in so many ways. I think it would have gotten you all emotional. Scout's Honour!

Girl, you really, really, really, truly got me at "Luscious Darling of Andraste". That got me emotional. 😃 I know you'll take care of my Dwarf. Oh and indeed it would strike fear into his enemies, and also a hell of a lot of confusion. 😂😂😂

@Midevil_Chaos 

OMG! You really went there! Jeeeez your cousin has just been absolutely roasted. 😂🤣 I'm sure you're French is way better than mine too! Je ne sais quoi! 😂

Seriously, Geralt isn't that bad 😂 Like I said before Geralt is actually a darling, at least mine is. Lol! His relationship with Ciri is really wholesome. Those crones are just unhinged! 😂 My Geralt was never in a love triangle once he recovered his memory. He was a very good boy!..........Apart from Keira.....maybe. 😂

I didn't have my head in the gutter at all! 😂 I know you didn't just romance Blackwall because he's a tank, you romanced him because he's a tank with a good backstory. 🤣😂

I'm so glad our favourite Dwarf has an amazing title now! Lol. Much to the absolute terror of his rivals! 🤣

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Oh come on, it wasn't that bad. I promise, right? 🤣🤣🤣

And yes, you are right. But! To be fair, I've spoken French (and English) my entire life, so... 

Katie proceeds to romance 2-3 women using Geralt, and then claims that no, she swears, he's not so bad. He's just a terrible man, with the case of womanizing, because of course, why wouldn't womanizing be normal? ... Katie, I hope you're not saying that you're mananizing right now. I would be disappointed if that is what you were saying. *sigh* 🤭🤭🤭

In terms of Geralt, girl you are saying he was in a love triangle. It's very cute that you're trying to defend his lustful attitudes. Is... Geralt your type of man, that is if you're defending him the way you are? I'm not judging (as I smile, saying that). 😂 I must say, it is rare to see women say things like that, but it's refreshing as opposed to see a man normally be the one saying that stuff. I can't blame you, you have posted later than usual and had a lot to say about Geralt yesterday/today thus far. I was impressed at that, and wanted to respond, but I had to go so I couldn't until now. That being said, seems like you really want to get some things off your chest about Geralt and his supposedly "non" womanzing ways.

Oh, of course not. I apologize, you did not have your head there. Mea culpa. 😂 As for Blackwall, you romance him because you want to have good fashion advice from him, as a tank. 😂 I mean... why else romance him?

As for Hornack, now if we double the length of the title... he can vanquish his enemies without doing anyone anything. By just appearing, bam! He gets experience points as they just die like that. No fuss, no mess, no blood. (in case you're wondering, I had accidentally written "anyone", but left it there because that was funny 😂😂😂). 

@Midevil_Chaos 

That's amazing! I have such a respect for people who can speak multiple languages. My brother is fluent in German, I have no idea why he decided on German, as I don't think he knows any German people. 😂 I don't think I inherited the same amazing patience to learn a language from back to front, I just know how to swear in different languages, say hello, my name and that I love something. Not helpful in any real situations as anyone would be extremely weirded out. 🤣🤣🤣 

Lol! Noooooo 😂 I wasn't defending Geralt, in fact I agree with Yennefer's stance on "I don't care you lost your memory, why couldn't you just keep it in your pants for one minute, jeeezzzz! 🙄"  😂🤣

As for Blackwall, I appreciate him going for the brooding warrior look. 😂 My elfy gal is going for a elegant look to the point she really looks unprepared for any fight, so maybe she needs to take some fashion advice from Blackwall. 😂

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Yaaaaaaaaay! You respect me because of that! 🤗🤗🤗

As for German, it would be very useful if he played Star Trek Online, as it has a very big German following lol. That's probably why he learnt it, so he could interact with random people? I dunno, maybe he's a history buff and enjoys learning about WWII? Or even WWI.

As for Geralt, you're talking about the average man. I'm not sure what you expect from him? I dunno, but... Probably won't happen. 😂😂😂 Geralt is, tbh, a bit more "manlier" than most men. Which I don't think is a good think. I personally think he's a complete pervert who doesn't know that women have emotions, and goes around committing acts of perversion. But, what can you do? It's not like the game(s) discourages this type of behaviour. In fact, it encourages them, because, mostly male audience? Which doesn't really make it better. As I said in an earlier post, I don't like the fact that Geralt is not in a love rectangle. I am very disappointed in his behaviour, and I would like for him to shut up about Yennefer. Like dude, Triss, concentrate on Triss. Please! For the love of God!

Bahahahah, have you ever heard of the term "sleeper pc"? Basically, a sleeper pc is a computer that either looks like hot garbage (old case) or maybe isn't even using a PC case. But, inside is this awesome computer that may be worth 3-4 grands. From the exterior, it doesn't look like it could do much, but once turned on, oh oh, it does a lot more than what people expect it to. THAT is what you adorable Elf looks like.

@Midevil_Chaos 

Lol, I never thought of learning German for that reason, maybe that was it all along! 😂

Hahaha! Oh my goodness Geralt is getting dissed here! He can't shut up about Yennefer because she's an important part of the story, whether you romance her or not. 🤣

I haven't heard of the term sleeper PC but it does sound like my inquisitor. 😂 My Elf is going for a dazzling look indeed! Maybe she'll just scare any enemies away with her amazing fashion sense alone. 🤣🤣 I still can't choose my favourite character in DAI. So far they're all likeable IMO. 😄

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Yeah, or if you plan to go to Germany or if you'd like to watch German movies or something. So many, yet limited uses for the language alone! I think you should learn a second language too. 😂 I've always known 2 languages, so it's a bit of an unfair "competition".

Geralt being dissed? I mean you mean I'm being truthful about Geralt. The way I see it: He gets rid of Yennefer or maybe tells her he absolutely hates etc., and then bam! She's not around anymore. She curses him, and then he's screwed because he's like that man that was cursed by a woman before dying and he turned into that Werewolf thing on Skellige. See, problem... solved, with a dash of morbid delirium. I may not treat someone else like that, but Geralt? Pfff, I would NOT be surprised if he did that, because of 1 word: Geralt. His name says it all. Geralt is English for "pervert". 😂😂😂

As for Triss, yeah, how can you not love her? That would be my question to anyone who hates her. 😂 Don't get me wrong, Yennefer (from what I've seen thus far) is a mystery unto herself who enjoys torturing Geralt. Perhaps this is done on purpose, so as to "chase" him away so he can "chase" women? The perfect womanizing scheme from that couple, perhaps?  Not sure why she would do that, but maybe because she saw the future where he dies a horrible death, and has difficulty coming to grips with this reality? I look at it like this: if Geralt died a horrible death, I would gladly play as Ciri.

It's hard, I know lol. They are all interestingly special in their own way. But, the more you play, the more you may see some machinations and schemes afoot. I'm not saying you will, but you might (depending who you "prefer"). That being said, I'll be very interested in knowing who's your fav at the end of the road.

This is an example of a sleeper PC:

@Midevil_Chaos 

It's very handy to have a second language and extremely impressive for sure! I'm always star-struck by it. Lol.

Your relationship with Geralt is difficult, isn't it 😂 I personally really like Geralt, He's just a misunderstood dear. There's only one thing Geralt's perverted about, and that's Gwent. 🤣🤣

Ahhh! There's already too much scheming going on in the game anyway! 😂 I just will plan to ignore their plans and schemes and make sure they all hopefully survive to the end of the game. 😅😂

That PC is smexy! It's vintage but not on the inside. I personally think that it looks cute! 😂

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Indeed it is!

Hold your horses, my dear! I just played (this morning) the game, and I had Lambert, Eskel AND Geralt all crossdress in an attempt to contact the Lodge, so they could get some women over. Why? Because they were drunk, and they thought they wouldn't answer since they didn't look like witches, so they wore Yennefer's clothes .That * was hilarious, girl! Ultimately, they contacted some random person who then contacted his guards and said that the Lodge was after him. 😂

So... There is misunderstood and then there is misunderstood. Even Yennefer, when she got up wearing only her lingerie, said something like: "I don't know what you are doing, but go to bed now!" I couldn't make this * up, even if I wanted to. 😂😂😂 I really hope you saw that when you played the game, because OMG was it ever hilarious!

I don't know how they survived thus far as this point, but that stuff was sooooooo funny.

Glad you like the PC 😊 Not mine or anything, but yeah, looks well made.

Oh, and there is something I couldn't resist sharing. Like dude, I can't believe the devs came up with this as a name for this character (name in green):

@Midevil_Chaos 

Yes! That's one of the funniest moments in the game! "Summon the witches" I put witches to not be swearing on a public forum, but we all know what Eskel really says! 😂 I play it that way every time, I just can't resist the temptation. 🤣

I know what you mean about Uma! I couldn't believe they called him that either. 🤭😂

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

I couldn't agree more. I burst out laughing, and usually don't laugh like that that often honestly.

As for Uma... like dude, people in the game thought it might be Ciri LOL. And then you had Lambert calling the thing effing damn ugly. Like damn dude! 😂😂😂

@Midevil_Chaos 

I laughed out loud at it too! I still love that option "You're a genius!" 😂

I love Lambert! He's one of my favourites. He just comes out with what he thinks. Also you're approaching bits of the game I cried like a baby at. I was in tears at way too many parts of The Witcher though, NGL  😅😂

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

He is a genius. Just the stupid kind. 😂😂😂

I feel like Lambert is troubled by his part though, which is probably why he acts the way he does and says the things he says. Remember, he was forced to become a Witcher, while his father was a complete a-hole. That's gotta be hard for Lambert to have to deal with.

You know, I finally googled what NGL meant. I don't know how I spent all these years not knowing what that acronym meant. 😂

I'm at the part where he has to rescue a bunch of Dwarves. I think Dwarves, as the voice of their leader sounds like the one of a Dwarf, and they're locked in a house. Are you saying there are more funny parts there?

Btw, I sent a bunch of people to the castle, and I had sent Triss there after Geralt told her he loved her. But she was nowhere to be found. So... where the hell is she anyhow?

The whole bit you're on now I really cried at, I can't tell anymore as it would be pure spoilers. 😂

He is troubled, but that's probably the same for all of the Witchers, TBH. 😅😂

I just like to think Triss, Keira and the others are just slow travelers. 😂 BTW did you send my girl Keira to Kear Morhen? I'm being nosey. 😂

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

I didn't realize you had replied lol. 

Yeah, that part was hilarious as hell. And yeah, the Witchers are all messed up, especially Lambert. Like dude, gets defensive as all when it comes to the possible creation of new Witchers.

Slow? I dunno about that LOL. They can use portals to travel wherever they want XD. Maybe they just don't like Geralt. Uhm yeah, Keria went to Kaer Morhen. I didn't ask her though, and then she had the gall to say something like, "if I knew it was that dangerous, I never would have come! Consider us even, now." And the fact that Lambert went WITH her afterwards, like damn, why? Was he THAT attractive? As least he does look better than Eskel in women's garb. 😂😂😂
