    The Witcher series

    Excellent video. I am especially thankful for you sharing this, @Antimatter . It saves me some time for research (like with the article I linked earlier: now I know the source of it and I know it is part of CDProject's canon, not Sapkowski's original work). It also mentions lore from the most...

    I'm not going to discuss politics.

    The Witcher series

    Women, for one thing, are not expendable. Men were, are, and always will be. If that's a reason not to forcibly turning them [women] in monster-kiling machines, then I don't know what is. I wouldn't wish for women to suffer without any reason, much less for particular ones I care about. Some...

    The Witcher series

    It's pretty cute that we have reached the point of mentioning "gender discrimination". I guess it would be pretty progressive to write a story in which women were allowed, and encouraged to, go through torturous procedures with insane high mortality rates and lasting, unpleasant, consequences...

    Philosophical Musings: A Forum Game

    1) Agree. It is basic primary school geography. 2) Also agree. Partially because, again, primary school geography, partially because "regions" have a nice ring for it that would account for cultural differences etc. 3) Agree about Mexico belonging in North America. However, the way I see it, it...

    In theory, yes. In practice, you can use that to justify some very ridiculous beliefs. You can't prove there weren't any Flying Spaghetti Monsters as Witchers, therefore Flying Spaghetti Monsters can be Witchers :). I agree you can call them something else. Hell, you can even intentionally make...

    The Witcher series

    It is interesting discussion. Though if I was to make a fantasy comic/webcomic, I would rather avoid going too deeply into biology in-story itself. I, as an author, know what's up with the rules and therefore biology of characters. But mentioning certain things, like composition of cells or DNA...

    The Witcher series

    The easy answer would be that there is not a single record of female Witchers, and given that the Witchers were much more common and needed in the past (when humanity was colonizing the Continent after the Conjuction of Spheres) it is very strange that not single woman-witcher was created. It...

    The Witcher series

    I already said I may do more research later on. For now, I'll stick to the option that requires the least assumptions, and that would be: characters from Witcher's universe have biology virtually identical to our own. It requires more assumption to say otherwise at the moment: namely, to say...

    The Witcher series

    From what I understand: Hard magic is a system in which rules for how magic works is well defined and understood: magic follows pre-set rules that author of the work has established. So, based on a presented circumstances, the reader/player etc. knows what can and can't be done with magic in a...

    Let's just agree to disagree then. If TW4 comes out in few years and it utterly proves me wrong, then I'll gladly admit to being wrong. Until then, I guess it is what it is.

    The Witcher series

    I agree that there are possibilities, and I agree that it wouldn't be the first time CDProject did something violating the lore. (in TW1 case, initally that game was meant to allow you to create your own Witcher, but since testers tended to create a Geralt-like character, Geralt became a...

    "Chick" as a term isn't offensive. It's like me calling a guy "dude". It just exists. I don't care if I respond to man or a woman.

    The Witcher series

    I don't know if I should laugh or cry. First, about the chick from the video, I predicted one argument she was going to use. The argument is about Ciri's Elder Blood somehow enabling her to survive the Trail of Grass. This trait does not change her biology or hormones, so it doesn't change two...

    Anyone Willing to Give Me Feedback on My Novel?

    I feel like I miscomunicated my question there, nonetheless thank you for answering, @Alesia_BH and @m7600 Let's say I want to combine drawing and writing by creating a comic, webcomic or something along those lines. The more I think about what is required for drawing single page, the more...

    Anyone Willing to Give Me Feedback on My Novel?

    My initial comment here was "a just in case" kind of comment: namely, just in case feedback here was nonexistent, I wanted OP to know their question was not ignored. Since I am not really a well-read person (I am more into a visual storytelling), I don't feel like I can provide any good...

    Anyone played black geyser or other pillars of eternity/badur's gate alike recommendations?

    Since I've been tagged... First of all, welcome! Second and the reason I was tagged in the first place: Pillars of Eternity. If I was to compare the two PoE games to each other, I would say that the first game is better in story department, but the second game is better in-game mechanics and...
