One of my only ragey complaints with this game is that shopkeepers sometimes spend a loooong time zoning in, sometimes don't at all unless I meditate, and their marker is gone from the map until I work whatever voodoo it takes to get them to phase back into reality. This fueled lots of insomniac fury while trying to get my Gwent on. Wild hunt, stop kidnapping all my barbers!  Actually if you miss the Baron's gwent match, later the quest updates to tell you to search his quarters for the card and a clue for the next opponents. Not sure when this triggers, I had just gone back and forth from Skellige a few times when I noticed.

So wasnt the entire point of the first two games to save Yennifer, and she just shows up randomly in the epilogue? Anticlitmatic, and I dont remember Ciri at all from my playthroughs, should I?

Just finished the Baron quest line.  There is one weird thing though they just kind of leave hanging (heh) and that's still the full deal with the tree horse ghost. When you come back to that village everyone is dead except the guy who cut off his ear, and he says everyone killed each other when the black horse appeared. But when you go to save Anna, you have to pick out which doll is hers to save her. One of the dolls has that dude's ear on top. My thought right away was that the horse ghost just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time there before heading off to save the orphans, and the witches took control of that one guy and he killed everyone in the village himself. There doesn't seem to be a followup quest now for any of that after the Baron hangs himself. Is it intentionally left ambiguous and you have to try to connect the dots yourself, or is there a followup quest to see what ultimately happens to the horse ghost/orphans? If yes, don't spoil it, just tell me if there is and where to get it (assuming it isn't something that comes up way later)

I went with your exact same path and got the card, and the note, and completed the velen gwent quest. Unless you have encountered some kind of bug, you are fine. Maybe you didn't notice the card being looted in his office and the quest hasn't updated because you haven't read his note yet? Loot everything in his office and read every note in the quest tab of your inventory.

Both the witches and the tree ghost are evil but siding with the tree ghost results in a lot more death.

Which option can save a bunch of innocent children. gently caress those crones. Also, just met a godling in Novingrad and she said the cutest thing. Godling: "You're really nice you know." Geralt: "Hmmm, don't hear that often...thank you."

I see that the fine tradition of Geralt giving up free hits because he starts fights after cutscenes with his sword still sheathed continues.

This game is loving beautiful, and beautifully made. I don't understand why people were fellating Dragon Age 2 when Witcher 2 had an infinitely better array of choices and story at the time.

Calaveron posted:Isn't the Kaer Morhen armor Wolf Armor? Technically I guess, but it just leads to the Warrior's Leather Jacket which in turn is a dead end low-tier armor piece. It'd be sweet if it was its own tree, ala the Griffin etc trees. Normal, Enhanced, Superior, Masterwork qualities and all.

Did you tell the rich dude there was a Godling there or something?

There's this bit near the end of the quest where you go to those caves with Keira where I forget the context, but Geralt asks Keira something, she sort of refuses, then he gives her the most incredible puppy-dog eyes ever and she relents. Again, I hope the team who worked on character direction and facial expressions get tons of praise, and the team who thought of equipment degradation get fish hooks shoved up their anus.

No, I got that too and I also thought "cool an actual good ending" and then there's a little painted image cutscene and Geralt talks about how sometime you have to leave the place with walls to find your real home and it made me wonder if there's a better way. That cutscene hosed with my head. Relentlessboredomm fucked around with this message at 03:09 on May 25, 2015 |

At that moment I knew I was playing something truly special. Also Bow Simulator 2015 doesn't get enough love. Geralt's voice actor has improved a little, but so much more of it is from the emotive character animations. He's such a cranky old cuss, it's the best.

He was almost like encountering another human being choosing dialog. I'm not used to video game characters getting mad at me for ... things that I would be really mad about too. What, I almost maybe got you your money, what are you complaining about? Oh right, lying bad or something.

The game has totally hosed up my ability to do other stuff in my free time, I'd just much rather sit around in my boxers playing around as Geralt. I have to say I loving love using grapeshots on human foes, managed to bag the achievement for killing 5 foes at once within 10 secs by rolling past a group of swordmen and throwing one at a bunched up group. BOOM arms, heads and guts all over the town. Returned later and the place was full of Rotfiends We need a Geralt emote

Does Bram actually sell you stuff at half price if you don't charge him after the Griffon shenanigans? Also, is money hard to come by in this game all the way through? Just wondering if I will most of the time end up spending all my money on food and never have anything else except for what I find?

Madcosby posted:I thought that was just to get bonuses for mutagens? I dont have any of those spaces unlocked except for the first default 3 Default three? The spaces unlock as you gain levels; hovering the pointer over them tells you which levels. The mutagen bonus comes from the four mutagen slots, the other twelve slots are for abilities, and any learned abilities not in those spots will not have an active effect. The thing with some signs not needing to have their ability equipped to use their alternate forms is a bug that was brought up earlier. MadJackMcJack posted:Drowners are pretty easy once you learn to dodge and abuse Igni. Takes a while though on keyboard, since dodge is on ALT and it's a pain to use compared to SPACE. Double-tapping a direction also short-dodges. No need to use the hotkey. Broken Cog posted:Just posting this so those that (Keira spoilers)killed Keira know what they've done.
