Hey y'all.

Let's have a nice playthrough of Witcher 3 together. Won't that be fun? I think it'll be fun.

Is there a schedule?

Nah, not for this one. Witcher 3's too god damn big for a schedule. Take it at your own pace, talk about any part you like. Mind your spoilers!

But I've never played a Witcher game before!

That's OK. Witcher 3 is really good as a standalone title. You don't need the old games at all! You don't need the books either (though I like them and they help to illustrate certain character relationships)

How do I mark spoilers?

I like to use the name of a related quest! Those are usually pretty good, and most spoilers will involve quests, so it's a good system.

There's some subject matter I sure don't like. Do I need to know anything going into this?

I tell you what, Witcher 3's got some real shit in it. It's full of murder and betrayal and bad empires and all sorts of stuff. There are, however, two particular quests that I think merit a big old
--CONTENT WARNING--

Get Junior (CW: gendered violence, desecration of corpses)
Get Junior includes a scene where the titular character is surrounded by dead sex workers that he has murdered and more or less decorated with.

Carnal Sins (CW: gender violence, serial killers)
Priscilla is attacked by a serial killer, and though she survives her throat is burned by acid and she's rendered unable to talk. In tracking down the killer, who has struck and killed multiple men and women throughout the city, Geralt ends up confronting a corrupt priest, who he walks in on apparently about to torture a sex worker with a hot iron.

Those are the biggest ones and the ones that bother people most consistently, I think.

Can we have shipping arguments in here?

Friend, we wouldn't have it any other way.
