In TW2 I used to back my poo poo up at the sight of ghouls (usually because of the alghoul at the back) but now they're like big derpy pink puppies. Puppies that I cut down like a lawnmower. I guess Geralt spent so much time practicing on ghouls and harpies last game, he lost touch with his drowner-slaying roots.

There are a few things hidden in there until you return, I think. Also guys, after you first do Keira's quest and step out of the cave, directly ahead of you is a boat and a short ride across the water, south of gently caress Island, is a small island with a broken red brick bridge. The quest there gets you a nifty silver sword. I didn't know you could one shot drowners underwater with the xbow when I did it, but I managed it by diving repeatedly and dodging the ploughing whoresons Turpitude fucked around with this message at 01:03 on May 25, 2015 |

PRESIDENT GOKU posted:Is it possible to skip the stupid loving 40 minute story recaps you must endure when you load saves? Just keep mashing the skip button (X on controller.) Even though there is no prompt, it works the same as cut scenes. You can't skip until your game is loaded though, so you have to wait at least a little bit.

Pellisworth posted:You equipped the alternate mode ability on your Character panel, too? Yep, I try holding down the cast button, but it doesn't let me do that, it just immediately stuns them. Can cast enhanced Yrden no problem. Also, after the wife ring -> husband quest, you can use Kiera's lamp on the grave for an extra scene and exp Edit: Seems like puppet bug is this, you can't use puppet while having Delusion equipped, solution on cdpr forums is: Navigate to your folder: C:\Users\<User Name>\Documents\The Witcher 3 Open the file "input.settings" Find all the entries for "IK_Q=(Action=CastSignHold,State=Duration,IdleTime =0.2)" Change the entry to have an IdleTime of 0.01.

Harrow posted:Any recommendations for what to do with excess piles of crafting materials? I'm hesitant to sell them because I have no idea when I'm going to need like 20 steel ingots and some meteorite metal, but also, I'm sitting at a baseline of 40/130 carry weight just with crafting materials and food now, and that's not great. It's not even enough to keep all crafting materials, just now was doing the first Griffin armour set and that requires a shirt and a bear hide ("armor" and "junk"). Those weigh a bunch and don't seem crafting-related so I'd sold all of mine long ago. GreatGreen posted:What is the best, most easily (continuously) attainable equivalent of health potions in this game? Swallow stacks with food, so eat a food and immediately drink a swallow, and make sure food keeps entering your mouth for the duration of the swallow. You can replenish the swallow with alcohest which is plentiful.

So, there's an exclamation point quest in the Novigrad docks to clear out a merchant's warehouse for a guard, and there's a second merchant there arguing with them. Inside the warehouse is a single nekker and Geralt mentions that seems odd. Does anything else ever come from that? I didn't see any way to follow up on how it got in there.Madcosby posted:wait what The large array of empty diamond/square slots to the right of the ability grid. You have to move the abilities/mutagens you want to use onto that array in order to activate them.

Had a random bandit try to rob me in Novigrad and first he yelled "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries" Then I had a quest with the line "Zed's dead" During a Triss quest there's a drunk guy in the fountain shouting "Arrrrrr, I am a KRAKEN," which is a Juno reference I believe. The guy you fight in the Novigrad boxing matches is called Gorgeous George. This game is great.

I cannot even begin to describe how much my experience with this game improved when I turned off the question marks on the map. All of the real goodies from the treasure hunts are tracked like any other quest so you don't really miss out on much but aren't compelled to comb the area when you see a bunch of question marks everywhere. Anyway, the last big RPG I played was Dragon Age Inquisition and so far it seems like this game is in a whole 'nother league comparatively. There's so many big meaty quests in this game with varied objectives and locations and very very little of the "ubisoft syndrome" where the map is populated with tons of little markers showing you exactly where everything is. If you turn off the question marks they're pretty much absent altogether. I also find it amazing how you can just like walk right into Novograd, and how just about every single building in his huge town is seamlessly part of the world. I'm not 100% sure but I think that within the entirety of Velen if you don't fast travel or die or whatever you can just go wherever without a single loading screen. One thing that worries me though (spoilers up to the point where you get to Novograd) I did the Keira Metz quest and it ended with me having to kill her to stop her from giving the research away but then I watched a playthrough where she was sent to Kaer Morhen and the only difference seemed to be that I didn't sleep with her. I'm trying to play Geralt as faithful to Yennefer and I'd be pissed if like by not sleeping with Triss for example she ends up dead in an alley.

So those fancy clothing come in handy after all! I wonder what other interactions are out there.  The guards will allow entry into the House of Respite with the clothing Geralt was forced to wear in Vizima.Offkorn posted:So, there's an exclamation point quest in the Novigrad docks to clear out a merchant's warehouse for a guard, and there's a second merchant there arguing with them.

Well, those two merchants are related to the quest from the guard. Use witcher sense in the warehouse. On the ground are footprints matching a dwarf and cage bars sawn through. One merchant is unscrupulous, the other is an jerk. Delacroix fucked around with this message at 01:46 on May 25, 2015 |

I wish it was a little clearer what clearing out bandit camps and reclaiming lost sites 'does.' It's a little jarring to ride up into a camp of bandits or drowners, kill them, and then before the bodies can even be cleared away, a bunch of peasants come up and set up shop. How does this affect the game?

Not sure about that particular quest, but in many others, there are witcher-sense clues hidden around - sometimes very well-hidden - that unlock other conversation prompts. And after the quest concludes, sometimes you get a bit of dialog (animated conversation style) by going back and talking to the people involved. It won't ping your quest log, it's just there as flavor.

Witcher owns. Saved some kids with bread and they gave me a book that gave the werewolf bestiary index and a new decoction. Game owns. I feel like I've played so much and made such a small chip into what there is to do. I want some sweet armor but am not sure which one to go after, or even how I wanna spec Geralt.

During the main quest in Novigrad I got an antidote and a recipe for the antidote. I found the potions but I can't find the recipe either in inventory or alchemy recipes. I'm scared to go in there without 5000 antidotes.

I'm scared to go in there without 5000 antidotes. It's probably a remnant from before they reworked the potion system, it works like any other and refills automatically when you rest, so no recipe. Besides, you're not gonna spend a lot of time in there anyway, one potion is more than enough.

I.N.R.I posted:When the witcher MC has sex with women, do you get to see their boobs and vaginas etcetera? In the original game European version the dryad definitely had some vag action going on. Taken out in the NA version because cutting a hundred people into meat chunks is noble and good but seeing a vagina is bad and wrong. Anyone remember in the first Witcher when maxed out sword Geralt would jump on top of humans and stab them over and over with his knife? Good times. Elderbean posted:Don't most games get downgraded somewhat as the realities of budget and resources creep in over development? I think the big thing everyone is howling about is due to the 2013 preview footage being released before the XBone and PS4 specs were even finalized, and CD Projekt RED probably had to make do using older less capable render solutions for the underwhelming console architecture they ended up with. PC still throws more power at it but there are real innovations in how to calculate things that older cards cannot use, and I doubt CDPR had the time or money to fork the engine at such a basic level.
