Comrade Flynn posted:Had to take almost a week off for a vacation, just got back to playing. Might depend on how you play but to me the best extra is crowd control so investing in the knockdown one and mind control ones are good. The trap is meh since enemies tend to scamper all over instead into it (it has a good alt mode but the cast time of it sucks), and igni for me doesn't impress that much.

Do you have to kill these three trolls in the cave guarding an enhanced Ursine armor upgrade? I'd rather not since they're named, so maybe they're for something later. edit: I actually managed to juke them into a corner far enough away from the entrance that the game stopped thinking I was in combat and let me jump back up the ledge and leave, but still wonder what their deal was Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 03:52 on May 27, 2015 |

haha, random dirt farmer wants me to find his horse Geralt: alright, so what'll you pay me? Farmer: How about a fifth of vodka? Geralt: Sure. But change the fifth to five, add jugs to end, and then give me the equivalent in crowns. such a loving smartass...

So Whoreson Junior just killed me 5 times in a row. Blocking doesn't seem to do much, doesn't stagger him. I have no signs I can use. Do I just have to Daigo this poo poo?

Are they named something like Ugg, Ogg, and Rogg? No, you can talk your way out of killing them with a Djikstra-related sidequest near or after the end of the Novigrad main quests. That's the only troll trio I've encountered so far and I think their cave had some plans but I can't remember exactly which ones. e: I loved it when Vesemir said something like "I'll go get some provisions for the road" and came back with a huge jug of vodka and nothing else. Oh you witchers you.

Finished Get Junior... is there anyone who seriously chose to spare Junior when the choice prompt to kill or spare this maniac has the feet of the woman he strung up before you got there swinging in the background? My only regret is I couldn't use the silver sword for it.

I sort of wanted to kill him because he'd slaughtered and eaten the group of soldiers he'd "enlisted" with as well as a bunch of peasants. On the other hand poor dumb Trollolol didn't seem to know any better. So I left him to guarding his boat-fort.  I hope the troll's version is fine art and Geralt's looks like fingerpainting in comparison, heh

I get so intimidated by the inventory/oil/etc systems in Witcher 3. I've only played a tiny bit of the game but man I feel really dumb sometimes with it. I really feel like I need to pace myself with this game or something.

Novigrad quest stuff: Do you never actually find Djikstra's treasure? That seems like a weird loose end. I'm still in "act 1" but yeah. I feel like it's super easy to miss Novigrad stuff because of all the unlabeled places and unmarked quests.

Manatee Cannon posted:The Witcher sets all look pretty decent and are available from the get go. You can even upgrade them, and they are pretty much the best armor sets in the game for their level. I'm using the Ursine Witcher set and it looks snazzy as gently caress. If by snazzy you mean full of rusted chain mail then yes. What could have been an awesome set was forged with rusty chains. WTF was the art team thinking.

Wartime rules, man. And Trollolol was so gentle when he separated the quarrelling humans. So gentle.  vv ugh they're not that bad, just try once or twice to learn the route and bodyblock when you need stamina. If you have specific problems maybe spell them out, because your particular brand of "I just tried x for the first time, I don't understand x, therefore x sucks" is getting old.

Man Triss really pulls through for you this game. Still don't really understand why Geralt blew her off between the second and third games unless it's to do with the note he found from Yen. I hope we get a choice of blowing off yen to get back with Triss, canon be damned.

You must have found some crazy heavy armor or something - that's nuts. Find the culprit. You can do horse races for saddlebags if you want or buy them places (not that I remember where, sorry)

Brinner posted:Man Triss really pulls through for you this game. Still don't really understand why Geralt blew her off between the second and third games unless it's to do with the note he found from Yen. She kinda sucks in both the books and the games tbh, I don't like her at all Her whole thing is manipulating Geralt into being in a relationship with her. She does it in the books by drugging him so he'll sleep with her even though he's with Yennefer at the time (Yen and Triss being good friends at the time as well). She blows Yennefer off when she wants to save Ciri a few times, and then in the end when Geralt is impaled and lays dying and Yennefer and Ciri are trying to get to him she runs away. To her credit she comes back, but still. Then in the games she takes advantage of Geralt's amnesia to make him think she's the one he was in love with. The Witcher 2 is just her trying to seduce him for the entire game. She has good moments but all in all, gently caress Triss. edit: Actually, she does worse than blow Yennefer off. She betrays her plans to the Lodge from what I remember. Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 04:45 on May 27, 2015 |

I swear sometimes this game slips rather important stuff past me that comes up later that I didn't even notice or realize? Like for instance, I just finished the stuff for Dijkstra and apparently I knew the whole time who stole his gold?? Did I just completely miss this or did the game just not actually tell me that? I investigated the bomb stuff for him, looked in that little hideout, did the mission with Triss where she gets tortured (that was horrible) and then got a key from that dude's corpse after Triss kills him. I gave the key to Dijkstra and then the only options for dialogue I had were that I knew the whole time who stole his gold? This isn't the first time I've had to make dialogue choices based on things I somehow completely missed and I dunno how I keep missing them. Also I really want to go for Yen, because dang look at that fine honey. But man Triss was tough as hell taking that torture while I got information from that one dude
