    You may want to try and make the layer ends less even, so that they'd blend into each other better?

  • prixatprixat Posts: 1,588

    Do you really want to save him? lol

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    would like to atleast once.smiley

    did the dlc fool's gold.  went back to the village to visit yanek, couldn't find him.
    lotta to and fro running to the hog hut, there and back again, a witcher's tale.

    cleared a few velen quests to get em off the list. gives like 2 xp points each. doh
    ves quest 2xp. Roche had some words to say about her lack of breast armor, found it funny. lol
    @lvl22 doors slamming shut gave 300xp.
    started putting points in the Rend tile.

    need 1 more lesser red mutagen to make a greater red.
    then i'll need 9 more to make a greater red.

    found a medium weight boots with a 54+ armor piercing bonus surprise + 2 rune slots.
    but the light weight boos geralt is wearing is 25% against poison. the dilemna
    the basilisk east of novingrad regenerated, this time dropped a stomach. now has the superior draconid oil yayy 

    had to do the dumplings quest to get the feline crossbow crafted. sad now geralt cant get tasty dumplings now.
    the sword prize was disappointing, is lower than the enhanced griffin sword.
    the enhanced feline armor has sleevescrying

    the spy/shoeses quest is done, doesn't seem to be a way to continue that quest with deekstra.

    No, it's too glossy, the gloss makes it look like white streaks, I'm reworking the settings. I've got the texture color better now, reddish/orange. When I get the hair as best as I can I'll show it again. Still a work in progress. I've added a few more strands and I'm trying to figure out how to not use a base cap; I made one and UV'd it but can't get the textures/transmaps to look good on it.

    Yeah getting those caps to look right is a challenge.

    I have long had this idea of using a fibermesh cap (sort of like a short crew cut, with "longer wispy bangs" to get the "baby hairs" look), but I never got around to actually building one _and_ pairing it up with a transmapped hair model. This approach does work when generating curve-based hair (LAMH, Garibaldi), when you build in layers.

    Those big bugs near the place where Ermion and Yennefer quarrelled provided some 4 or 5 lesser red mutagens. And some from various other monster infested places.  Skellige usual provides me with most of the rare items needed for the various bombs/oils/potions, though it usually takes quite a while and loads of quests and exploring.....

    Ah, yes, the armoured one... took quite a few dancing stars bombs and explosiv bolts (that bug doesn't like fire), not too mention using the Insectoid oil, but it's doable.... One of those near Ermion's quest as well, with some other, a little less tough but still formidable bugs -- quen, hack, slash, dodge, retreat, quen, hack, slash, dodge, retreat ..... you get the picture cheeky

    The cast for the Netflix Witcher series has been announced.  Henry Caville (Superman in the recent movies) was announced a while ago, other names dropping over time. But now it's all out.  They didn't try to match the look of the characters in the game at all, which is okay as long as they kept to the spirt of the character.  Like if a character is supposed to be older and cynical like Djykstra but they cast Justin Beiber I'd be concerned.  I didn't see any WTF casting choices like that though.  Still, it will take some getting used to new faces on characters I feel like I know already.

    Personally my biggest gripe is that the woman they have playing Yennifer is only 21 years old, and if anything she maybe looks even younger than that from the pictures I've seen. That doesn't fit the character as I envision her at all unless they hand wave it away by saying she's older but sorcery makes he look really young.  But having her physically look similarly aged to Ciri just seems that they are ruining the relationship potential between the two by making them more peers than anything else, sisters rather than a Mother-Daughter thing.  Similarly not sure how she works with Geralt.  It just seems like that role should have gone to a woman more like 30ish.   But maybe she's awesome, time will tell.

  • Personally my biggest gripe is that the woman they have playing Yennifer is only 21 years old, and if anything she maybe looks even younger than that from the pictures I've seen.

    Yennefer is over 90 actually. But she may look as young as she wants - cuz sorcery, absolutely. Yet, Yennefer is supposed to be pale, with triangular-shaped face and violet eyes. So that actress is going to need loads of makeup and contacts. All of which _will_ make her look older =P

    Nah, honestly, I don't believe they will care to match the descriptions from the books - that showrunner pretends she has read them, but her "analysis" of character personalities posted on twitter was laughable. Casting that Caville youth as freaking Geralt just shows how "deep" their representation is. 

    What they _are_ going to do, though, is use the timeframe from the books, so Ciri was a kid back then. So having a teen play Ciri does make sense. 

    But that's probably the only thing that is going to make sense about this show. 

    Look, the original Polish TV series "based on" the Wiedźmin saga plain out sucked. I don't have a more polite word for this. This new one will probably have neat FX, camerawork and the like, but content-wise, it's going to be the same. This time, it's even made by foreigners. Is there a single Polish name in the credits anywhere?!

  • glaseyeglaseye Posts: 1,311

    I don't have netflix, and don't intent to get it either. As such not really following all the things for the new series. I'll just wait and (not) see.....wink

  • grinch2901grinch2901 Posts: 1,246

    Based on the cast photos, it looks like they want to make "Witcher when they were kids" sort of thing. Everyone is young. Their take is that this is a fantasy world, not Poland so they can make the charachters look anyway they want to. Whatever, I don't care about that so much but the age thing is an issue for me because it affects the relationship dynamics with people. If Yennefer were a teen, for example, a serious relationship with Geralt - a grizzled adult - would feel creepy.  Also, she'd lack the commanding presence of Yennefer, where everyone is sort of afraid of her bark except Geralt. Now as it turns out she's not a teen and as a 21 year old, the creepy factor isn't there but the gravitas of the character is something I am not sure will come across.  Can a 21 year old pull off the presence to have witchers tiptoe around her?

    allI can do is wait.  I'll give it a chance, see what happens.
