    This isn't a huge deal but it seems like the random NPC's only have one line of dialogue and they will repeat it EVERY TIME you go near them. it gets pretty annoying after i've heard "Odrin? Here boy!" a million times. Other than that awesome game.

    Hmm. After seeing their immersion video, in which they discussed how 'every NPC will have a routine of their own, and many lines of dialogue; effectively bringing the world alive', this is really disappointing.


    Well, vaguely disappointing.

    ...sort of.

    The actually do have lives of their owns. The conversations they have are quite interesting, I find myself stopping sometimes just to overhear a conversation. However, after you've heard it, the magic wears off. But what do you expect? For them to spend hundreds of hours making up conversations so every time you walk by (which is a lot) you hear something different? Not a big deal in my books.

    Why does he carry two swords? Does he lose them often?


    Ugh. Yeah. Wish they'd record a little more for variety's sake....

    It might be a bug. They'll probably patch it and make it occur less often.

    He needs a separate silver sword to deal with monsters.

    GOG for me; would've been Steam (virtually all my other PC games are), but I wanted to support them and the deal was better.

    Not a huge problem since i'm used to this through other games, like the Witcher 1 and Fallout 3 + NV. Have you tried to spawn 10 ghouls next to each other in that game? Or how about hearing "My balls itch" every time you walk past a bum in the witcher 1.

    actually in the QL the crew mispronounced drunk guy by the fireplace's line:
    it's "PLOUGH EM ALL" not whatever they said.
    basically means "Fuck em all"

    PATROLLING THE MOJAVE MAKES YOU WISH FOR A NUCLEAR WINTER.

    my favorite is the one between two dwarves about a riddle.

    There is a specific quest in Witcher 2 that directly references this line of dialogue.
    It is NOT subtle at all!

    My favorite so far is that guy who tells that long ass story in the camp where Cedric has his tree fort. The one that begins something like... "everybody sitting comfortably? Then listen." Man that guy will tell that story ANYWHERE and ANYTIME... and to NO ONE. I walked into his house and there he was lying in bed eyes closed and snoring but sure enough his mouth was moving telling that story... at least twice... Walking into camp alone... telling that story, etc. Gave me the chuckles.

    I definitely think this is what they mean. "Fuck the women" doesn't sound too much like a war cry/insult. While "Fuck <insert whatever nation your fighting against>"  seems much more logical in war. And indeed, Temeria's flag has lilies painted on black background.

    The absolute worst instance of this wasn't the 'Odriiiiin, here boy', oh no it was when I actually wanted to listen to an NPC's story outside Flotsam, there was a bunch of people sitting around a fire but I couldn't here him because these annoying kids kept following me asking why I carry two swords or something, if only I could talk to them and there was a line of dialogue like 'Ones for killing monsters the other is for killing annoying kids who don't leave me alone!!!'

    Yeah, those three drunkards can get annoying, which is why I set out to find Odrin as soon as possible. Other than that, I didn't encounter too many repeating lines. At least no one told me that my mother sucks dwarf cock yet.
