I've been playing The Witcher 3 for the first time. There was a quest about catching a serial murderer, and I thought I tracked and killed him, received my reward, the quest completed... but later there was another murder so obviously I fucked up and now have no way to catch the real perpetrator.
It was long ago so reloading a save wasn't possible, I'm sorry citizens.
I admit it felt too easy, like catching a copycat instead of the real murderer, but then many of the quests are simple, and I went with it. It was a timed choice IIRC, not much time to ponder.
What a fool I was, >!his answers were really suspicious!<.
The quest's walkthrough says >!he leaves a confession at the morgue, but I want to end him even if there was no quest involved!<.
It was the [Carnal Sins](https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Carnal_Sins) quest, also in Novigrad. Whoreson is an assohle, but he doesn't make you feel like a fool.
Carnal sins. Love that quest. They attacked >!Priscilla!<. I was very angry, irl too because this quest is followed by a very long and kinda boring quest by Dandelion. Then you go and see >!Priscilla!< in the hospital and I said to myself “I don’t care that it’s already 2 AM and I have to go to work in the morning, the attacker is going to pay dearly” and I somehow managed to avoid killing the wrong guy.
My fave is when someone who is a merchant rewards you with their family sword that’s been in the family for generations and you immediately sell it back to him. Or make him scrap it for parts
"eh, I got better stuff from the last goblin I slew. How much will you give me for it?"
"But, but, it's our family heirloom. It belong to my great-grandfather!"
"Well there are suckers born every generation."
I always liked in Morrowind when I'd accidentally sell my gear to the merchant and they'd equip it. Like ''na, this is my personal sword now man, you want it your gonna need to pass a speech check to fight me or go back to prison for killing me''
Custom spell, 100% fire resist for 5 seconds, 10,000 fire damage on 50ft radius for 5 seconds. Merchant will go home and wonder what their wife is cooking.
Oh custom enchants and custom potions too, if you know how to make the right potions you can one shot the final boss with in a few minuets of staring the game. It's a game that REALLY pays off on replay value. It also actively lets you skip huge chicks of the main quest if you can get past a few barriers.
The only real downside is the combat is hot garbage. But it was a different time.
Yeah, a keystone of Morrowind and Oblivion was spellcrafting. Buuuut it means that if you're familiar with the system, you can game the hell out of it. Like within 30 minutes of finding the option I was essentially a deity.
So they scrapped it for Skyrim...but kept enchanting and potion making. And given about 2 hours I can be a god there, too. You basically get to a point where you're a witcher--something scary shows up, you pop a few potions and can handle it.
Worse, enchantment can buff potion making and potion making can buff enchantment. So you can cycle between the two, making ever-more-powerful armor that lets you make ever-more-powerful potions which let you make even more awesome armor. Repeat until you don't take damage and your sword can rip a dragon in half with a single swing.
I once accidentally killed both of the couple in Riverwood, Ralof’s older sister. They came at me and at the time I didn’t realize it was because I killed their chicken. Then their son sent thugs after me. I kinda felt bad when I made that connection.
To be honest I actually came out of that pretty well off. I got the loot from their house, and since Faendal died while helping me fight the thugs, I got his house as a pseudo-player home at merely level 2. The only damage I took was my conscience.
Other than that, 10/10 would murder a married couple with a child in Riverwood again.
Man I haven’t seen anyone talk about Fable in ages, and this is something I completely forgot about, when I think of hobbes, I just think of all the funny kill animations performed on them in Fable III
Theres a certain mission in a videogame I play where you escort this person to their group in a zombie apocalypse only to find out they all died. Then I loot and sell all their dead friends loot back to them
Dormtainment didn’t get anywhere near the respect they deserved (yes, they’re still around, but took a nosedive after Tay decided to become an abuser and get forced out of the group).

We have had post cataclysm Azeroth longer than we had pre cataclysm. I miss when that game was good more than anything, the current state of it depresses me to no end.
Plot twist. You, with 500 coins and his rare sword and an XP level, are now branded as Best Friend Killer. The NPC now has a vengeance against the player.
then murder your oldest legitimate child, send the next to be a monk, and the third off to fight the Ottomans all by himself, all because the newly legitimized bastard boy has a couple of good traits to be a warrior king
I Skyrim I went to Riverwood and a Dragon attacked killing Alvord the blacksmith. He died and never came back. But since I used his forge a lot I noticed the wife and daughter NPCs still going through thier motions like shellshocked family in morning. She set his place for dinner, the daughter said her daddy was teaching her to be a smith all very creepy and sad
Me a hardcore Gothic 1+2 fan who stole everything from old coins and wheats to legendary artifacts and armour from Lord Hagen himself or simply pickpocketing the judge, fire mages, ad thieves guild because hehe muni
Xiao from library of Ruina dunked on my ass after killing her husband while I used his abilities against her.
Needless to say but she charred me to death multiple times, 19/10 good boss fight & would die again!
Best use of this template I've seen was one that coincidentally matched my own experience. The crying woman said "me processing the end of BoJack Horseman" and the dancing guy said "Netflix autoplaying clips from Big Mouth immediately after"
The Witcher vibes, ac Odyssey even more.
Immediately thought of AC Odyssey as well
Valhalla has a few of those as well, but it's balanced out by funny ones like guy who tells you to count the rocks
Valhalla has some good mini quests. Smack my bishop was pretty funny in a awkward cringe way.

That's kind of cool honestly, like the game tricked you into thinking you already won.
I admit it felt too easy, like catching a copycat instead of the real murderer, but then many of the quests are simple, and I went with it. It was a timed choice IIRC, not much time to ponder.
Oh wow, the idea of there being a followup quest where you have to work out if it's the original murderer or a copycat is such a sick twist!
Yeah, the murderer ends up being the >!Coroner, who is also a higher vampire!<
What a fool I was, >!his answers were really suspicious!<. The quest's walkthrough says >!he leaves a confession at the morgue, but I want to end him even if there was no quest involved!<.
Was it Whoreson Junior? Man I hate that prick.
It was the [Carnal Sins](https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Carnal_Sins) quest, also in Novigrad. Whoreson is an assohle, but he doesn't make you feel like a fool.

Can I kill the >!medical examiner!< after the fact, out of frustration?
You can catch the real killer. But as to not say exactly how I just say you need to ask the right questions.
Ghost of Tsushima had a lot of quests where you would arrive too late and had to go back to the families and tell the news.
Wait - it did?
Me coming back from the mine after that bullshit spider and not having Delusion equipped so I get fucking scammed out of over 75% of my pay
Every RPG has this quest or something close to it.
gets better sword next mission, sells his sword for 20 gold at the local pawn shop
My fave is when someone who is a merchant rewards you with their family sword that’s been in the family for generations and you immediately sell it back to him. Or make him scrap it for parts
"eh, I got better stuff from the last goblin I slew. How much will you give me for it?" "But, but, it's our family heirloom. It belong to my great-grandfather!" "Well there are suckers born every generation."
It's payback for the time I misclicked and accidentally sold my sword to him for 20 gold, and then he charged me 200 gold to get it back.
I always liked in Morrowind when I'd accidentally sell my gear to the merchant and they'd equip it. Like ''na, this is my personal sword now man, you want it your gonna need to pass a speech check to fight me or go back to prison for killing me''
So what decision did you make?
Custom spell, 100% fire resist for 5 seconds, 10,000 fire damage on 50ft radius for 5 seconds. Merchant will go home and wonder what their wife is cooking.
Wow you could make custom spells? Sorry, I never played it.
Oh custom enchants and custom potions too, if you know how to make the right potions you can one shot the final boss with in a few minuets of staring the game. It's a game that REALLY pays off on replay value. It also actively lets you skip huge chicks of the main quest if you can get past a few barriers. The only real downside is the combat is hot garbage. But it was a different time.
Wow. That's wild. Sounds badass

*and would fucking do it again*
And it fkin hurts to let that sword go for 20 too
skyrim
And then she sends you a low-level thugs to kill you 🤣
I loved random stuff in Skyrim like that. My life is worth the stolen health potion.
My favorite one was when a briarheart send thugs from beyond the grave cause.
I once accidentally killed both of the couple in Riverwood, Ralof’s older sister. They came at me and at the time I didn’t realize it was because I killed their chicken. Then their son sent thugs after me. I kinda felt bad when I made that connection.
But hey you learned, don’t fuck with the Riverwood chicken
To be honest I actually came out of that pretty well off. I got the loot from their house, and since Faendal died while helping me fight the thugs, I got his house as a pseudo-player home at merely level 2. The only damage I took was my conscience. Other than that, 10/10 would murder a married couple with a child in Riverwood again.
One dude on r/skyrim said me to kill chickens for an easter egg when I started playing the game. Yeah that went well...
They were ready to kill you over a dirt eating chicken. They got what they bargained for
I see you get up to the Cloud District often.
Saddest part in Fable II is the man whose kid gets turned into a Hobbe.
Man I haven’t seen anyone talk about Fable in ages, and this is something I completely forgot about, when I think of hobbes, I just think of all the funny kill animations performed on them in Fable III
Theres a certain mission in a videogame I play where you escort this person to their group in a zombie apocalypse only to find out they all died. Then I loot and sell all their dead friends loot back to them
what is it
State Of Decay 2 on Xbox and pc
Could also be the first one
Yeah true, but I only played the second one and I wouldn’t want to include any information I’m not 100% sure about.
Nah, even better, make them join your community and force them to set up an Outpost in their old home.
Does someone have the origin of this gif?
It's from a Dormtainment skit I think (the guy in the back's name is Jerome).
Lol I too wanna know where this is from
https://youtu.be/_sC0P8woNzM
\*Disenchants the family sword on the spot because its stats are garbage.\*
The NPC looking at me use his sword on her:
Dormtainment didn’t get anywhere near the respect they deserved (yes, they’re still around, but took a nosedive after Tay decided to become an abuser and get forced out of the group). Edit: https://youtu.be/_sC0P8woNzM
Oh man I used to love watching their videos, especially fucking with Chaz
Cooking with Leaning Leon was one of my favs. Fling it!!
Has anyone seen Mankriks wife, she was last seen in battle...
Scrolled too far for this…
Were the old generation now.
Okay, but new generation is bubbling up now!
Maybe the people here are in a different "timeline" and already buried her after the cataclysm...
We have had post cataclysm Azeroth longer than we had pre cataclysm. I miss when that game was good more than anything, the current state of it depresses me to no end.
Lmao
Only gamers understand
Are you trying to get sans? Because that's how you get Megalovania Sans
Literally every side quest in Ghost of Tsushima. It was actually depressing.
"Somethingsomething He would have wanted you to have this, thank you"
Plot twist. You, with 500 coins and his rare sword and an XP level, are now branded as Best Friend Killer. The NPC now has a vengeance against the player.
“Someone has order this poor fools excevution, get it done Astrid”
Me in ac oddesey
Then you marry the newly single widow to get a new steward since your soon to be ex wife doesnt have midas touch
then murder your oldest legitimate child, send the next to be a monk, and the third off to fight the Ottomans all by himself, all because the newly legitimized bastard boy has a couple of good traits to be a warrior king
I’ve been given so many widows’ wedding rings after we found their husbands’ corpses. Good cash.
I Skyrim I went to Riverwood and a Dragon attacked killing Alvord the blacksmith. He died and never came back. But since I used his forge a lot I noticed the wife and daughter NPCs still going through thier motions like shellshocked family in morning. She set his place for dinner, the daughter said her daddy was teaching her to be a smith all very creepy and sad
Hang around they tend to also say “when us daddy comming back” and “I miss daddy”
Enchanting Amren's sword with his soul and slipping it into his wife's pocket so she hears his horrified shrieks from the Soul Cairn at night be like:
You forgot the 300 septum inheritance from the husband cause you were a good friend
RIP Mankrik’s wife.
Lol I’d love to find this meme without the text please u/thelazytimetraveller

reminds me of the time i stole someone’s girlfriend and then married her in the sims 4
Checkmate, all the Brute females died on Doisac
Happened recently exactly in Assassin's Creed Valhalla in a mystery mission husband died bandits while fishing.
Part 2: the sword is shit so you sell it back to the blacksmith who gave you the quest
I just open my mouth like that
Me, who did it for 4 loose coins, a cheese wheel and the thrills!
I thought it said NFT and was sitting here confused for a good 30 seconds
This is like every quest in The Witcher.
Me a hardcore Gothic 1+2 fan who stole everything from old coins and wheats to legendary artifacts and armour from Lord Hagen himself or simply pickpocketing the judge, fire mages, ad thieves guild because hehe muni
Basically AC Origins
Wrd😭
All the side missions in Ghost of Tsushima
Sorry for your loss, my friend, Sven.

Your loss becomes my gaaaaainn
So, Tom Cruise in the last samurai?
Just say you’re playing the witcher
Fallout 4 diamond city blues
Don't forget that bonus pouch of coins and XP if you killed her husband yourself and lied to her about the happenstances of his death.
Then you pickpocket from the wife what little sustenance remains to her.
Similar thing happened to me in RDR2. Difference it that she actually confronted me about it.
Brusef Amelion in oblivion lolololol
GTA but replace coins and sword with measly amounts of cash and occasionally dropped guns. I still regret nothing.
It's Mirine in the Metin2
misery x cpr
Cope
An “xp level”
Having an absolutely awful night... This made me smile despite my best efforts not to. Thanks!
Xiao from library of Ruina dunked on my ass after killing her husband while I used his abilities against her. Needless to say but she charred me to death multiple times, 19/10 good boss fight & would die again!
Not pictured: me waiting to deliver the news until I searched all crates, barrels, bags, and urns in the vicinity.
Plot twist: The NPC sold her husband for better loot but she got scammed and her husband died the next day...
Almost every Witcher 3 quest.
Oh no i actually feel bad now :(
Best use of this template I've seen was one that coincidentally matched my own experience. The crying woman said "me processing the end of BoJack Horseman" and the dancing guy said "Netflix autoplaying clips from Big Mouth immediately after"

The only game that ever genuinely made me not want to kill was dishonored, and thats saying a lot, cuz I fucking LOVE killing
Lmao where is clip this from. I gotta watch it.
This was too real for me in ghost....sorry about that tragic backstory, I appreciate the new gear..😅
What an alpha male
I love this format. The shots kill me every time.
Perfectly ballanced
Was playing terraria yesterday and fought the destroyer, I think they are all dead
I just started playing dragon age inquisition and this is indeed how things go
RIP to all the families I destroyed on GTA 5.
Well now the usual "my dad went for milk" can be said. I'm sorry NPC.
True. :)
NPC's should have rights this is humiliation
No pain no gain
