>finally meet him
Come back when you've played the first Witcher game, because you're obviously a pleb that started with 2 or 3.
I did play The Witcher 1.
You only meet him in his spectre form in a vision. Anyway, he was better in Witcher 1 because he had some chiling insight into Geralt, in Witcher 3 he was generic worthless shit
It did have the worst villain of all time, but it also won 800 gaming awards
checkmate
...
Britney Spears and Justin Bierer also won shitload of awards.
I guess that makes their music best in the world since popularity = quality.
Also his goal had a lot more Ciri-fucking in it than just saving the world.
No matter how bad CDPR fucks up Bioware always does worse
Still better, had more than 12 lines, hindered your progress
Haven't read the books but as I understand from the games, he needed Ciri to save his world. Ciri did that on her own resolve, right as this guy died. No one even forced her to do it
I'll never get this meme, Witcher 3s ending was literally just as rushed, incomplete, ass pulled and shit as Mass Effect 3s.
The only difference is that nobody expected Witcher 3s ending to be good whereas Mass Effect 3 was riding on nothing but its ending.
Are CDPR the citizen caine of our generation?
It also doesn't help that the entirety of Mass Effect 3 is a fucking garbage fire.
The ending is the game's equivalent of pic related. It's so abysmal and such a mind-boggling inclusion that it distracts most people from how truly godawful the rest of the game is, which leads retards to say things like, "If it weren't for the ending it wouldn't be so bad!"
He also stood around monologuing, with a dragon at his back, while you were alone in front of him. Eredin was shallow but quite a bit less incompetent.
He wanted to save his world, conquer the rest, and make Ciri have his child. If he just wanted to stop the White Frost, Avallach would never have run off.
>Screencapping your own posts
>zero arguments (ZERO)
Not surprised.
...
Don't be retarded
The final battle between Geralt and the Hunt was kinda meh, true, but it was just OKAY. And the thtee endings are radically different and send Geralt and Ciri on a different road.
ME3 was literally a Deus Ex Machina of the worst kind, threw everything you did down the drain, and had literally the same ending with a slightly different colour and outcome of the universe that is summarized ib two lines and a concept art.
There is no comparison here - one was mediocre and the other was a travesty.
Never actually played Mass Effect 3 because I never liked the series to begin with, but this is exactly how I feel about TW3.
White Orchard is good, the Baron is good. As you reach Novigrad it gets worse and worse. It has a minor peak again at Kaern Morhen but that's only because the developers were able to do a cinematic battle, not because the writers were actually good.
Then it's shit again , and the ending is worse than shit
>he doesn't screencap all his posts so he can show his kids how cool he was
>A screen cap of your own posts
i dont remember. is eredin the impotent elf king? or did eredin murder that guy and take his place?
Say what you want about that faggot, he had some pretty damn good quotes
He wasn't the villain though.
...
For a guy who worships silence, he sure does talk a lot.
The latter
This is a male dragon (female)
They're the tolkien of video games
>hindered your progress
>Couldn't even kill you when you were defenseless in front of him
Eredin managed to get Vesemir killed
>And the thtee endings are radically different and send Geralt and Ciri on a different road.
I'm not talking about gameplay wise, i'm talk about the overall endings themselves.
Every bad thing you can merit to ME3s ending is equally (if not more) applicable to Witcher 3s ending.
>HURR DEUS EX MACHINA GOD CHILD IN ME3
Literally Ciri. Only difference is that the God Child addresses how the crucible will defeat the Reapers whereas Witcher 3 gives ZERO explanation as to how Ciri's blood stops the White Frost.
>THE REAPERS WERE COOL AS FUCK IN ME1 AND ME2 BUT THEN THEY BECOME SHIT IN ME3
Literally the Wild Hunt
>B-B-BUT
Face it, both games had awful endings. I'll say this though
Illusive Man >> Emyhr
Reapers >> Wild Hunt
Literally who
citizen CAINE?
Yep pretty fucking garbage. The big brute (Imerith or whatever) was even more interesting than this faggot.
To be honest the entire main quest really just fizzled out. I just wanted it to be over at the end.
I prefer the Luke Skywalker myself
>one missable scene in TW1 has more dialogue with Eredin than the entirety of TW3
JUST
youtube.com
They should've just done what they did in TW1 again ie make Eredin taunt Geralt throughout TW3.
Here's the true villain of W3
>Illusive Man >> Emyhr
lol no. Least Emhyr had a relatable reason, TIM was just lol indoctrinated
>Reapers >> Wild Hunt
No. Reapers were ruined with their we destroy life so life won't destroy itself.
How can Bioware even compete?
youtube.com
I cry everytiem
They can't. nu-Bioware literally cheered in their office when CDPR announced that TW3 won't be released in 2014.
>make Eredin taunt Geralt throughout TW3.
That just becomes really fucking annoying and turns him into a moustache twirling villain.
Foolish Nephalem
>lol no. Least Emhyr had a relatable reason
What reason did Emyhr even have? He says like 5 lines in the entire game.
Illusive Man was a ruthless leader but a reasonable one in how he genuinely wanted to better mankind. He was a xenophobic asshole sure, but he thought he was in the right, throw in some reaper indoctrination and it's easy to see how he ended up in his position.
Even then you can talk him out of it and reason with him. Try playing the game.
>No. Reapers were ruined with their we destroy life so life won't destroy itself.
As opposed to the Wild Hunts "I WANNA DICK CIRI"?
The Reapers actually make perfect sense in their reasoning and the Reapers are not why ME3s ending sucked. The Reapers were a top tier villain, the problem with them is how they went from a mysterious entity to something that was actually a bit to rational to be menacing.
...
By simply existing.
I don't think that's the problem. The problem is the lack of talented writers working on TW3. They were incapable of doing anything with the character.
While Witcher 1 writers took those dump graphics, and one appearnce from The Wild Hunt and that, what you linked in the video
Now add the post ME2 games
PRAY THAT I SUCCEED, FOR I HAVE SEEN THE THRONE OF THE GODS AND IT WAS EMPTY
But it was done very well in the first witcher. And anything is better than the "psssh.... nothing personnel....witcher" Eredin that we got.
This Illusive man is far better written than Eredin as portrayed in the last game
Sure thing
Fight with him was also piss easy. I expected some god like Sauron being, yet he was just some above average elf warrior.
All they had to do was have more interaction with him. Some sidequests relating to the wild hunt, some additional main story bits, anything really.
You're right. The amount of demand for something is not a measure of its value
>Eredin
I meant Emhyr. Charles Dance was fucking wasted. Emhyr was fucking wasted as already existing character from the books
Well yeah he's just a Aen Elle general. He's no Vilgefortz.
Literally just a giant red enemy
He has about 6 lines in the 2nd game
Let me help you out
Let's talk about good villains like the one from the greatest RPG of all time.
This confirms that both games are shit
Truly Undertale is the best game
Random screengrab from Google for if you haven't played banner saga since it isn't too popular
>Emyhr even have? He says like 5 lines in the entire game.
>So retarded he missed out on something as easy to grasp as Emhyr in danger of loosing his throne
Definitely a Biodrone
reverse shills are getting desperate
>The problem is the lack of talented writers working on TW3. They were incapable of doing anything with the character
This is Witcher 3 in a nutshell. Well 80% of Witcher 3 there were some really good stuff scattered among all the shit
It's not just the villain at the end that's bad. The entire story takes a nosedive after the defence of Kaer Morhen. It loses steam and never gets back to the height of that moment where everyone gets to shine and the enemies felt dangerous.
At least both DLCs are a blast and I had most of my fun with the various side quests. That's really why the W3 is loved so much. Not the amazing main quest but rather the sheer amount of good side quest content.
>This will be the thread that destroys W3 say increasingly nervous redditer or the 50th time
Go back
>The entire story takes a nosedive after the defence of Kaer Morhen.
For me it was after you arrived in Novigrad. Radovid and the Church and everything there was a bit too one dimensional, black and white compared to the nuance of the previous games.
And Kaer Morhen was good,only because they did an Uncharted style linear setpiece sequence. I admit it was well made, but if they had the budget of The Witcher 1 nothing about that sequence would stand out
>thinks "Biodrone" is an argument
The mere fact that Emyhr is terribly underwritten with legit around 20 lines of dialogue in the entire game is enough to dismiss him relative to the Illusive Man.
Emyhr was a complete waste of talent, Martin Sheen however wasn't. Illusive Man was significantly better written
>Illusive Man was significantly better written
In ME2, sure.
In ME3 he went full retard
I was a witcher fanboy and I agree.
Witcher 3 was written by untalented rookies , did they hire Ubisoft rejects to end the series?
From the same game
>D&D
>Star Wars
>No source material
>Hello my fellow Witcherbros, don't you think Bioware is such a better developer studio?
skeletonface from mgsv forgettable and boring except for WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No I actually am a witcher fanboy
I have this saved on my computer
I don't get it, all the villains in the 3 Witcher games are stellar EXCEPT Eredin. What happened?
>neverwinter nights
>flash game-tier
I'm genuinely triggered. Fuck you user.
Easy
>Oblivion
>Mannimarco the King of Worms
>I'm expecting some terrifying Liche
>It's just some faggy fucking Elf
I'm still mad.
Not that bad. I mean what did you expect, it's not like the Dredge were introduced to be some widely fleshed out race of people nor was Bellower. The way BS2 ended made me much more angrier desu.
>menge
>whoreson
>Imerith
>Crones had tons of potential but ruined in rushed sabath sequence
Witcher 3 didn't have good villains. The writers were hacks
Hot damn did 2's ending make me mad even though I'm still not a hundred percent sure what's going on
Fuck Juno with a rake
It's even worse because he was a key figure in Daggerfall, he was supposed to posses a very powerful artifact and gain imortality.
Mother Brain is shit, just like the Metroid franchise.
Skullface in tpp
...
I believe it was intentional, the big bad villain who turns out to be a complete failure.
>You can drown him out with Idroid music.
It was somewhat decent when it came out.
Well, he certainly was kind of a failure in the books as well. First he tries to give his king magical viagra in order to make him horny for Ciri's pussy, but instead he accidentally poisons him. Then he tries to stop Ciri from running away by fighting her, but she beats him with Jackie Chan's comedic shtick (bumping his head at the bridge behind his back while fighting on the boat).
I'm still surprised that Caranthir didn't kill him in his sleep.
I could probably name some NES villain
>god tier supporting cast of characters

>he thinks eredin was the villain
>he thinks the witcher's storytelling relies on having villains
you're a literal retard and you're probably better off playing bioware games with black and white good vs evil type stories
Eredin was literally just a side character, the main story arc was all about Ciri
Elaborate?
The internet.
Ciri and Yen were god-tier though
KOTOR is literally THE most overrated RPG of all time, because in contrast to bethesdashit, not just complete fucking morons fawn over it like virgins.
It is not bad, but it is not BWs best work, and certainly not worth any mentions were it not for the license.
Maybe the side characters weren't as restricted in terms of messing up the canon like the main cast was? Don't know. Makes me excited for Cyberpunk and seeing them have free reigns of the world and story.
But, he gill ungle bebemir :DD
yes it was disappointing and I'm a big witcherfag
It's been a year and four months since Witcher 3 released, and this nigger is STILL shitposting every Witcher thread he sees to death. Get help, you nutter.
youtu.be
literally the greatest boss theme ever made, fromsoft can't even compete
what makes it great is that you don't really hear such epic choirs and orchestras at other points in the game because it's normally slavic folk, which fits the low stakes personal story of the game, but here we have this epic orchestra to highlight the weight of the battle and eredin's outwordly nature
they should have done him more op
he was just a elf with an armor
youtu.be
wrong link
Still mad
>Avallach
>good guy
CDPR fucked up so badly and destroyed the elves story line
he was such a blue pilled cuck.
was a fucking degenerate and died for it.
...
THORGRIM GRUDGEBEARER
In the books it's hinted that Avalach and Eredin poisoned the king although it might have been by accident
In this game Eredin is standing next to the king laughing evily like a maniac saying "long live the king"
I cannot explain how the writers got this bad when some parts of the game are well written
Dagoth Ur in morrowind. The moment I heard his voice, even 10 year old me thought he was a total joke.
Plus he looked less threatening then anything aside from a mudcrab.
there are some parts of all Bioware games that are well written
The fact is that CDPR are no longer dependable to write mature and well thought out storylines. They suck just like every other developer
I actually modded him with a scarier voice and a larger size to make him seem more like a god and less than a total wimp.
Okay, yes, that was more of a letdown then dagoth ur.
Dagoth Ur was shittier, but nothing has ever been that anti-climactic.
>finally meet him
>it's QTE fight
Yeah No.
> This guy. Had potential used as a mwhahaha bad guy that made Eredin look like the most complex character of all time.
Throw in the shit final "war" with like 30 badguys and good guys on the map, and I was straight-up bummed out.
