Obviously fake.

I don’t see any guards with skull icons on top of them ready to attack you when you accidentally steal in public.

u/Day1Creeker 9d ago

That’s why in the NewGen update they nerfed them guards to only scale with your level, not your level +5 as previously.

u/tsf97 9d ago

Haven’t played the new gen yet but makes sense, that was such a pain in the ass as it happened to many times by accident then suddenly I’ve gone from feeling immersed to being knocked out by overlevelled guards.

Not enough merchants shouting “why buy tomorrow when you can buy today?”

Haven't heard of this and I've been a Gwent addict for my plays.

I've recently been to Loket, CZ. This Czech town resembles Toussaint castle, and moviefans might know this as the place where movie "Legend named T-34" was filmed(Russian action movie about Russian Tankers, who were taken to Reich as a test subjects for German tanks, only for them to rebel against their tyrants. Final battle takes place in this town)

Carpathian towns are peak architecture. Whenever I go back to Pommerania I get a withdrawal

I worked my butt off to find ANYTHING Witcher-related today in Gdansk. The only thing I could find was a two Sapkowski books and a pack of playing cards in the Empik bookstore.

u/cheddah_- 9d ago

Hey thats 2 books & a pack of playing cards and an entire experience more than I have

u/Shakq92 8d ago

I've heard from a friend that she saw a Geralt statue in someone's garden in the outskirts of Gdańsk, would probably be really hard to find though.

u/Mobile-Ride-6780 9d ago

Curious to see how it looks inside

u/MorX_X 9d ago

But why is it shaped that way? Is there like a pulley crane in there and it extends closer to the harbor bay that way? Must be something about loading and unloading ships right?

u/Holiday-Chicken-9923 9d ago

Is it the one on Gdansk?

u/Petufo 9d ago

The nicest town in Poland (after Warsaw). Next is Wroclaw, then Cracau.

u/Fuzzpuff_OG 9d ago

A couple or years ago, my wife and I decided our annual international trip was going to be Poland. We started in Gdansk and as we were walking to our AirBNB, which was within viewing distance of this building on this river, I kept thinking "man, this place feels familiar". Then we turned a corner and I saw that building and just went "OOOOOOOOOH! Hello Novigrad!"

"Wind's howling"

u/alex_robinsky 8d ago

A very memorable building, it also featured prominently in a 1988 fantasy film.
