There are villages all over the place, but don't sweat it he wouldn't be there anyway. It takes captives a weirdly long time to get back to their villages. I rescued a swordsmith right before I went to Novigrad the first time and didn't find him until like 20 hours later in some tiny village I'd overlooked.

theDOWmustflow posted:poo poo, I've run into a game breaking bug. Bug occurs during the quest to find Hjalmar. When I approach the sleeping Ice Giant, the appropriate cutscene plays and ends. When it ends, I get stuck in an infinite loading screen loop. 30 seconds into the loop the "You have died" screen abruptly appears. There is no way for me to escape the loop. In the end I decided to just leave the cave and do other quests, but everytime a cutscene for a different quest is supposed to start, the ice troll cinematic plays instead and I'm back in the loop. I found hjalmar before getting the quest for him, he invited me to come kill the giant. I decided that it was probably part of a quest and left, since it didn't give me quest markers or anything and I wanted those. I played for another 30 minutes doing whatever random stuff when all of a sudden the ice troll cinematic plays and I'm back on skellige fighting some trolls. I went ahead and reloaded that one, but it was pretty funny.

Early on they treat hundreds of crowns like it's a big deal plot-wise but you have SO MUCH MONEY that it doesn't matter. It was funny seeing Geralt going "what?! That's ridiculous, I could buy a horse and carriage and lie my way in for that much" and it's like $100. Also makes him look like a dick when he hassles a peasant over 5 crowns.

For those interested: What happens if you let Trollolo draw the redanian coat of arms: http://imgur.com/pdWImLc He's unhappy because he thinks it's ugly and that you're just trying to be kind by calling it pretty good. In unrelated news, Aard with six points invested in its first two tiers and a fully-linked Greater Blue Mutagen is pretty hilarious for group fights. You can bowl over the whole group, casually walk up and stab a dude while he's down and then cut up another before they can get back up.  Bort Bortles posted:Oh poo poo, heh. On the Iorveth/Save Saskia path, you get to eavesdrop on him gleefully ordering and watching as Philippas eyes are gouged out. It's a pretty loving  scene even though you have every reason to be angry as all gently caress at Philippa at the time.Fat Samurai posted:So there is a quest that leads you to "Ghosts of the Past". I stumbled upon it by accident and thought the devs had decided to go "Hey, you! Surprise Letho!. That quest is there even if Letho's dead. In that case there's no boobytraps, just a whole bunch of Wraiths you need to exterminate. Also, search the whole place in detail, including the barn cellar, to find out the whole truth. Honest Thief posted:What exactly does it mean for a beast to be weak to Quen? Normally means that it hits really hard, but attacks slowly. In which case Quen gets really drat good because it will block most to all damage from an attack even if overmatched.

Your reward is pooled together from the entire village when you do contracts. When you're just doing something for one peasant, you get like 5-10 crowns.

Honest Thief posted:What exactly does it mean for a beast to be weak to Quen? Sometimes "weak to" doesn't mean that a given sign will be mechanically more effective. For example, weak to Quen might just mean that the enemy's attacks are slow but powerful, so that absorbing even a single hit can make a big difference. Weak to Yrden might mean that the enemy is just very quick and Yrden will dial that down to a speed that's easier to handle, and so on and so on.

But like I had a quest where the guy didn't have enough money afterwards and my choices were "Pay up NOW" or "I'll be back in week, you better get farming REAL HARD so you can pay back with interest" and it was a really small amount of cash and I was sitting on near 9000 crowns. It's just amusing.

Btw in case you feel like sperging the gently caress out, the money people will give for a contract seems to be random so if you reload they will have a different minimum and maximum amount available for haggling. So if a peasant is being a shitlord and saying 210 crowns is too pricey you can reload and he might think 340 is a sweet deal.

You'd think Axii would come into play with haggling...but then again, that'd probably be too easy.

Ok, what are you guys doing with money?

Bandit in the area. What gets me is that I would kill the bandits attack the guards in Novigrad and as soon as they're dead the guards would turn to me and tell me I'm causing trouble. Such is the troubles of the racist north, I bet it wouldn't be like this under Nilfgaard.

I have a decent PC, but I'm too far on the PS4 to restart now. Where are you seeing any slowdowns? This game seems to run as fast as any other PS4 game I have. I have yet to see it hitch or skip frames or anything. It just plays so smooth for me. Maybe I'm getting old and can't tell anymore.

Alright goons, here is 1 weird trick to save you from about 6 hours of the worst wind-waker clone ever. Literally zero, zilch, none of the open water undiscovered points in Skellige are worth visiting. Every single one of them is a siren/drowner infested smuggler cache. I.e. a useless box full of garbage. Basically is the ? isn't within spitting distance of the coast it's not worth doing. And 95% of the time those aren't worth doing either since they will either be more smuggler's caches  or spoils of war (more useless chests). The only one that is must have is A singular point of power located just NE of Rannvaig.

I've been using the suspend feature so the game hasn't closed in almost a week for me, and I've just now started to see some weird slowdown stuff. Closing it out completely seemed to fix any problem for me.

chaosapiant posted:For those who have finished the game, does Alvin ever get mentioned again, or brought up at all? No, because you kill him in The Witcher 1. Hes a Source, just like Ciri. He can teleport between space/time etc. He teleports into the past and then becomes the Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose. Then you murder him and his retarded Rose thats on fire for some reason. Mostly cause hes a dick when he grows up.

Jesus Christ, the final part of the main quest in Skellige (I think?) is pretty loving harrowing with Yen reanimating that poor guy and torturing his corpse into giving her and Geralt information. They really nailed the distressing nature of that scene. My reaction was just  throughout that mess.

LawfulWaffle posted:Please keep posting complaints about the game, goons. I derive great enjoyment from people who are clearly being forced to engage with something that is atrocious because it's not realistic enough/too realistic/graphically unacceptable/won't run on PC/has bad combat/changed things from previous games. The really passionate posts about inventory management or movement are my favorite. My heart goes out to you, slaves to the system, joylessly pressing buttons and feeling your blood pressure rise as Geralt fails to meet your standards. You derive "great enjoyment" from creating elaborate mental scenarios that inflate the annoyances of anonymous strangers into stroke-causing anger and do it in the bitchiest, most passive-aggresive way possible. Go get some counseling.

Archimago posted:I am currently Level 18 and it is 1500 XP to get to Level 19. I'd suspect they'd just change that as opposed to changing XP payouts for all quests, but I could be wrong. So if someone else is Level 18 and wants to compare we can check that way. If anyone can clarify this it'd be baller. I really want to just man up and push on with my Death March campaign but if the experience penalty is really that great then I'll probably just forfeit the trophy. I don't think slowing the level gain down is a very interesting way of increasing challenge.
