+1 sassy fantasy sorceress

[luxurist]

Hello, Riverview! I'm Ebs, new to the game, and bringing you one sassy, saucy, high fantasy videogame sorceress from the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt; Keira Metz. She's kind of high maintenance, a bit spoiled and even a little irreverent, so she's a handful sometimes-- but she can be a good friend too, also excellent at magic and botany, making potions, tonics, enchanted objects and such. (If y'all ever need aphrodisiacs to spice things up, she's your girl.) I have an info post for her if you want more background.

Right now Keira will be a researcher at Gramarye Magic Research, and she's bunking in the Communal Housing, Floor 5, Bed 6. Very much looking forward to inflicting her on the game, sorry in advance! Please feel free to add me on plurk for plottings and whatnot over at ebsolutely

HEY! This is Beth. I don't know if you remember me, but we definitely ran in the same circles for a while. Either way, I'm kind of just now getting into the Witcher fandom (starting with the first game, haven't finished it yet), but I'm in love with the world building. So, while I don't know Keira herself, I am still excited to see her.

Plus, you know. I have a weakspot for badass ladies, especially magical badass ladies.

Hi, Beth! I do indeed remember you! C: I didn't know you were in this game, what a nice surprise. Keira will go oh boy when she sees Galadriel, elves are definitely not like that where she comes from. Hey, can I add you back on plurk? We lost contact somewhere along the line...

It's a brutal but really fascinating universe! I personally haven't played the first two games (I don't have a computer to play with, though I've watched a few playthroughs on youtube) just devoured the books (which are set right before the games) and obviously played the heck out of W3 on ps4 which is hands down one of my favorite games of all time, visually and story-wise. I live for all the sorceresses, but Keira and Yennefer, who both show up only in the third game, are my favorites.

That is a legit weak spot to have, though! /nod

[inafadingcrown]

Of course you can! I was going to ask you the same thing, so... :) And, I mean, 'oh boy' is a pretty fair reaction to seeing Galadriel anyway. Hopefully that's a good 'oh boy,' though.

Haha I was basically told by a friend that I would love the sorceresses, but the prediction was that Yennefer would be my fave. I will have to let you know.

[luxurist]

Lmao, that's very true. Keira will at first possibly be a little wary, but we'll see how it goes. C:

Yesss, Yen is a queen and nobody will ever convince me differently! She's a refreshing take on a fantasy female character in that she's gives zero fucks about pleasing anybody (least of all the player/reader), her only objective being Ciri's well-being. I could wax poetic about her magnificence for ages, she's just wonderful and I do think you'll love her, too.

Oh, I think she and Dorian here would get on swimmingly :) Hello, Ebs! I'm Heather, this is Dorian Pavus, a gifted mage and spoiled fop from Dragon Age: Inquisition who is also a researcher at Gramarye Magic Research.

Feel free to add me on plurk at vikael

[luxurist]

Hi, Heather! Very nice to meet you. I'm very familiar with DA and oh my god, Dorian and Keira are more or less the flipsides of the same coin, so I agree -- they would get along. I think she'll even be a little heartbroken to find out he fancies men only. Farewell, ideal dream man, lmao.

I will absolutely add you on plurk! C:

[tevinteraltus]

Made even worse by the fact that he's an unabashed flirt, I'm sure So sorry, Keira.

Still, the best of sass friends, yes?

[luxurist]

Just her luck!! But absolutely best of sass friends, it will be beautiful. Just let Keira keep ogling at him and telling him how wonderful she finds him. Good friends totally do that, right? Right.

[tevinteraltus]

Dorian's friends are welcome to do that as much as they like :D

I'm Chris, and I play Cable from Marvel Comics...and I killed Keira in my first play through. I didn't know it would come to that then! Since that first time I've played Witcher 3 and its' expansions a few different ways and almost have the Platinum for the base game.

So you could say I like The Witcher 3. If by like you would mean intense fiery love.

[luxurist]

Hi, Chris! Ngl I made the same mistake my first playthrough, this game really doesn't give you second chances when you goof up... I really love how the different choices actually effect the game pretty drastically, unlike some other games of same style where the choices don't seem to that significantly alter the storyline. I think I'm on my 4th playthrough now, they take a while since the game is so damn vast and I always have to slough through every sidequest and treasure hunt, lmao. The expansions are pure gold, too, so I definitely know what you mean!

[mutant_messiah]

YEEEESSSSS.

I'ma add you on Plurk. I can talk Witcher all day and night.

Hello! I'm Bree and I play Iona Lavellan from Dragon Age Inquisition. I love the hell out of the Witcher series, both books and games (although I haven't yet started 3). And I can't wait for these two to meet; Iona here is ALSO a researcher at Gramarye

[luxurist]

Hello, Bree! DA is one of my favorite game series, I'm so psyched to have Keira interact with all the Dragon Age people. Let's compare magic and mage rights and whatnot of our respective worlds!! So yes, really looking forward for Iona and Keira to meet. C: (I also highly recommend W3, such an excellent game all around.)
