RELATED: Skyrim: Most Disturbing Things That Happen In The Game This creepy atmosphere and a looming sense of danger are ever-present throughout all three of CD Projekt RED’s critically-acclaimed trilogy. Players often led Geralt of Rivia into very disturbing situations that only got weirder as their questlines progressed. 8 Family Matters This is a dark, disturbing quest in The Witcher 3 that has Geralt look for the Bloody Baron’s wife and daughter....

RELATED: 10 RPGs With The Best Side Quests As a result, the quests vary greatly in their form. Most of them involve Geralt fighting monsters - since it’s his job, after all - but some of them can do without violence, or merely with fighting humans. If the player wants to get a break from all the monster-slaying, they can try some of the more peaceful quests. 10 The Iron Maiden Geralt can have multiple possible romances in the game....

RELATED: 5 Best Items In The Witcher 3 (& 5 Worst) Being able to have two equipped at the same time also allows players to combine the effects of some for even more devastating offenses. When paired with a witcher’s magical signs and swordplay, bombs offer many different tactics that the White Wolf can unleash upon adversaries for untold combinations to corrode, cremate, or otherwise conquer monsters and humanoid foes alike....

On top of the reveal for Blood and Wine’s launch date, CD Projekt Red has also provided The Witcher 3’s Steam page with a fresh update to give fans an idea of what to anticipate from the add-on. As is to be expected, developers have ensured the latest expansion’s size lives up to the claim that when combined with the previous DLC known as Hearts of Stone, the added content is as large as The Witcher 2 in its entirety....

Update 1.30 for The Witcher III: Wild Hunt will fix a number of lingering technical issues that the game has, such as glitches related to its gameplay and visuals. For example, the glitch where horse tails disappear is being addressed, and a large number of gameplay problems are also being tackled in the new update, such as glitched quests that have been impossible to complete for some players. Beyond cleaning up glitches, tomorrow’s large update for The Witcher III is also adding a convenient new feature to the PC version of the game....

The source of the dispute between CD Projekt Red and Sapkowski goes back to 2019, when the author’s legal team issued a demand for over £12 million ($16 million) in royalties. This was due to the profit of The Witcher games being significantly larger than what the original contract between the two parties predicted. The dispute was settled outside of the court system, so while it may not be entirely amicable it was done with both parties looking toward the future....

While it’s very clear that The Witcher show is based more on the books than the video game, the series still can’t include everything that comes from its source material. However, throughout the project’s first two seasons, Cavill has worked hard to make sure that other fans of the books see the story they expect to see. He’s talked about places he wants the series to go and apparently has made subtle tweaks to what’s going on in the show, sometimes without even asking permission....

There was no way Israeli and Palestinian children could escape the past two months of carnage. Unlike the victims of the schoolbus bombing, which apparently was a deliberate attack, many of the casualties have been kids who just strayed into the crossfire, like Mohammed al Dura, the 12-year-old whose horrifying death was caught on videotape at the start of the violence. The Israeli military issued a report on that incident last week, citing evidence that the boy was probably killed by Palestinian gunfire–a finding vehemently rejected by most Palestinians....

Darya Dugina, 29, died Saturday night in a car explosion on the outskirts of Moscow, and the Investigative Committee branch for the Moscow region has attributed the blast to a bomb planted in the vehicle. Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) accused the Ukrainian secret services on Monday of organizing the attack and alleged that a female Ukrainian citizen traveled to Moscow in July to carry it out. Ukraine’s government has denied any involvement in the bombing....

Part of that dedication and respect includes a promise of 16 DLC add-ons for The Witcher 3 that CD Projekt Red will release at no extra charge. It’s a decision that the devs say is motivated, again, by a need to do right by their fans. As CEO Marcin Iwinski explains, “We owe them.” Iwinski believes that by offering the DLC free of charge they are treating their fans as they would want to be treated....

We inhabit a self-congratulatory society in which we constantly reassure each other how well we’re doing. You can’t tell anyone anymore that they’re no good-or less good than their peers. We devise artful titles to create the impression that everyone occupies a position of respect and responsibility. The New Yorker once ran a cartoon of a man pouring out his woes to a bartender. “I don’t know, Al,” he says....

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that 159,271 adolescent and adult women had AIDS at the end of 2002. The extent of U.S. AIDS cases in adolescent and adult women almost quadrupled from seven percent in 1985 to 26 percent in 2002. The good news is that, despite these figures, AIDS cases in adolescent and adult women fell by 17 percent during this time and have leveled off as a result of successful antiretroviral therapies that help to prevent the progression of HIV to AIDS....

That linkage makes the pair an obvious talking point whenever one does well. There were commentators saying they’d rather have Herbert before Tagovailoa had even played an NFL game. Late in their rookie seasons, Tagovailoa’s Dolphins are winning but Herbert has the numbers. Tread lightly on the wins vs. numbers argument, because neither side will be budging on that one anytime soon. What most conversations about Tagovailoa and Herbert fail to do is to cut beneath the surface, fading out the noise to find which discussions might actually matter....

It wasn’t. The MRI and the ultrasound taken by my GP were clear as daylight: I had a tumor the size (fittingly) of a golf ball in between my lungs and my diaphragm. By the afternoon, I’d seen a cardiothoracic specialist. “This can’t stay in you. We’ve got to take it out,” he said. As if I wasn’t already having trouble catching my breath, we scheduled surgery for two days later....

THEATER: CLAUDIA SHEAR’S DONE SOMETHING AMAZING WITH HER LIFE: SHE’S MADE A SHOW OF IT MARC PEYSER THE NEXT TIME YOU WAKE UP HATING your job, think about Claudia Shear. At last count, 31-year-old Shear has held 65 jobs, each at least as dead-end as “Wild Thing” Williams’s gig with the Phillies. She’s been a receptionist in a whorehouse, a burger flipper and the phone girl in a sales scam. She spent a year plying cosmetics at department-store counters and a day playing Mrs....

This appears to be a straight port of The Unfinished Swan, which originally released on PS3 and was later ported to PS4 and PS Vita, so longtime fans shouldn’t expect any new content. However, PC and mobile gamers that don’t play on PlayStation now have a chance to experience the game. The Unfinished Swan is notable for its striking art style and emotional story, along with its unique gameplay mechanic that has the player painting the world around them....

Americans used to fixating on Hollywood are now mainlining politics as well, which gives “Dave” the look of a sure thing. Sen. Alan Simpson, who appears in a cameo, says that he and Bill Clinton agree that the movie “kind of gives you a warm feeling.” If the electorate seconds that emotion, the film could jump-start the credibility of a director not famous for his subtlety. Reitman’s first success came as a producer, with 1978’s “Animal House....

“I saw a tremendous amount of violence, unfortunately, when I was a little girl,” Hostin told Newsweek on a recent visit to Newsweek Conversations. “It culminated when I was about 7 with seeing my uncle stabbed in front of me. And I remember thinking, ‘I don’t want to live this way.’” It was this moment that started Hostin on a path towards justice. Now she’s turning her experience as a federal prosecutor—one who never lost a case—into finding justice and closure for victims of crime on Truth About Murder with Sunny Hostin....
