Infinite Monkeys posted:I'm supposed to kill this werewolf in a cave, but it's literally impossible. I'm on the second hardest difficulty, and once I get him to 1/3 health he starts regenerating faster than I can deal damage. It's not that the fight's too hard or anything, it's that even if I were to be swinging at him constantly without pause I still wouldn't be able to outdamage his health, and as it is I need to dodge as well. I've tried every sign, none of them are enough to kill the loving thing. Am I just too low levelled or what? I'm level 4. Level 4 is a bit low to be doing that quest, but read the bestiary and get geared up if you want to finish it while under-leveled. There are things that cancel his health regen.

She was immense help for me. I knew she would stagger the bastard and I would punish him with 1-2 hits each time. I kept repeating this "Cooperation with partner"-thing the whole fight.

You can, but I'd have preferred a regular loading screen. The Dandelion recaps probably would've been better served just being the startup loading screen and that's it because hearing the same segment like 5 times in one play session gets grating.

I had made a Gwent checklist the other day. Well it turns out a ton of the information on locations/names of stuff is just flat out wrong. And the Prima guide information is filled with misinformation. I scoured my checklist and went over all the online info I could find, so this should be pretty error free: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I20FoiznECcPGB24RRkPfQxd-2Pym5vI9QbTqYXsBAw/edit?usp=sharing Also, if you're looking at the items with different face cards, you can cross reference it with: http://www.gosunoob.com/witcher-3/witcher-3-gwent-cards-list/ I haven't verified all the information on the second link, but it should be fairly accurate. As for the achievement, I'm pretty sure you only need one of each card (which adds up to about 120 unique cards). So even though there are five Mahakaman Defenders in the game, you only need one.

There is a pervasive sense that Geralt is if not cheated exactly then undervalued -- he even talks to a royal hunstman about it in the original Witcher game where they compare notes on how much they get paid and Geralt is unhappy. Then again Foltest keeps trying to give him bags of gold or baronetcies and he keeps turning them down.

I think people just overcharge a Witcher because they are freaks. This doesn't hold up when you consider some of the other vendors in the game, but most of the insane prices can be explained away by 'Racism'. It's also pretty funny that a Witcher is paid about 300 gold for killing a deadly monster, and this'll buy him a few bottle of hooch.

There are some genuinely heart tugging moments in this game. Late game spoilers I loving almost teared up when Geralt finds Ciri on that island and thought she was dead. I KNEW she was alive but still he was so heartbroken  Then the scene if you turn down the emperor's gold. Ciri gets this slightly worried look before you say no and then gets a small smile and the squeeze of the hand  OH! Also if you love trolls maybe you want to check out that Missing Miners DLC quest, just saying. Swishy swoosh  If anyone's keeping track there are 5 talking trolls/quests/sequences that I've found Trololo, Bart, the cursing three, the three you find at Kaer Morhen, and Missing Miners Relentlessboredomm fucked around with this message at 08:58 on May 30, 2015 |

Keira related spoiler Later in the game I found it weir how every other sorceress keep referencing her although Geralt killed her. They talk about her like she's busy somewere else. Yen can supposely read Geralt's mind yet she doesn't seem to have a clue about this. That would have made an interesting conversation Philippa Eilhart Is there a way to kill Philippa Eilhart? I can't stand her The end I got (big endgame spoiler obviously) Ciri ended the white frost, so I guess she saved the Elven world too Nilfgaard Invaded the north, finaly some order in this shithole Temeria is reformed as a free vassal state, reward for killing Radovid Ciri become the empress of Nilfgaard, still on good term with Geralt Geralt and Yen leave politics and stay together The Vikings remain independant and prosper peacefully

I'm level 12 and I still usually just have enough to repair my stuff and buy the occasional big item. Personally I like feeling like the games money is worth enough to think about what I'm gonna buy. There are probably a hundred ways I haven't found to break the games economy and have a poo poo ton of money but that's how it's been for me at least.

I find myself wanting to boot this game up just to play gwent. I really love the varying skill of different opponents. Like the owner of the whorehouse in the poor district. She used all of her cards to beat me in round two and i only had to play one card to win the last round. Whereas some of the monster players will play a big rear end monster, then pass. This forces you to play probably two cards to beat it, and he keeps it for next turn anyway.Elysiume posted:300 crowns will get you like six bottles of water. And a diamond is worth what? 460 some crowns? Edit: the weirdest thing about the economy is how you can break the economy, have over 10k crowns, then go to an alchemist, and you're poor again. Also, if anyone is strapped for cash, i figured an easy way to lots of money early if you want. 1. Blow up a ghouls nest. 2. Take the golden ruby ring, but always leave one thing in there. then wait 5 seconds 3. Repeat 2 for as long as desired. 4. Go to the general merchant in Oxenfurt across the street from the armorsmith, hey buys jewelry at a reasonable price. 5. Sell until he's out of money, then walk away and meditate or wait a bit. 6. Repeat 5 until your pockets are lined with gold. I found that merchant restocks obscenely quickly. Nasgate fucked around with this message at 09:10 on May 30, 2015 |

Well, enjoy it while it lasts. Soon you're going to be drowning in cash. Don't even need to break anything, if you keep exploring ?s and selling loot (and exchanging currencies), you're gonna be filthy rich, like it or not.

It's a gold sink. It's there so that players who loot everything and explore everywhere have something to sink their gold into but casual players don't end up with no money for necessities like swords and alchemy ingredients.

If you're anything like me, at level twelve or thirteen swords I found in guarded treasure and monster nest encounters started selling for 70-100 gold up from 10-20. Made a real difference to my walking-around money.

So as it turns out I could safely go from low details and low textures to... high details and ultra textures, with a framerate increase of 1. I'm confused as hell but at least the game looks pretty?

Man, I'm not like SUPER HYPED about Griffin armor or anything, but the way people treat it makes it seem much worse than it actually is. My end-game armor set was everything Griffin except the chestpiece, which was SPECIFICALLY Superior Bear. Not like the game's hard at the end, so I went mostly for fashion. Probably would've switched gauntlets to Bear too, but eh.

For real the Yennefer relationship is really good, not like she's the hottest babe to gently caress but she and Geralt act like real people with each other and both of them talking about Ciri and trying to be good parents to her is great and so not-videogamelike at all.
