Varam posted:The bug doesn't affect all quests. Have you tried going to Skellige? I had a bunch of Novigrad quests give me no experience, but the Skellige quests have been giving me XP, even the ones I'm overleved for. I'm really confused by this myself. I'm getting no XP from progressing Get Junior or completing Count Reuven's Treasure, even though I keep getting the "you got XP from this quest step" sound effect, while doing half of Destination: Skellige gave me most of a level's worth of XP. I'm not sure if the game is just really inconsistent about when it rewards XP from quest to quest, or if I'm encountering some variation of an XP bug.

Beeez posted:I always laugh when post-modern cultural critics, who allegedly believe that there is no objective truth, declare their opinions are the factual ones. I don't know about post modernism or anything, but he is being wilfully dense. He exaggerates when he says he kills thousands of people all day, when he clearly knows you can't attack just anyone. You can't simply murder peasants who walk around town, and your emphasis on fighting is killing monsters because you're well, a monster hunter. Other than that, Geralt only kills in self-defense, or when a quest line dialog option allows you to gently caress up and be attacked. The dumb guy also clearly chooses to ignore the blatantly obvious anti-war stance the game has. Clearly illustrated all over Velen is how real wars work: kings or nations do the fighting and reap the rewards while the common folk do all the suffering. It's plain as day in Velen the real human toll war is taking: the number of orphans, single moms, starvation and disease, rampant lawlessness, and lets not forget the hordes of necrophages feeding on old battlefields. You would really need to be trying hard not to see just how anti-war the game is, and his points of how the game glorifies killing and war being bad rear end are provably wrong. I must be doing something wrong, because I've only had sex with two women thus far, and I killed one of them because she was going to do a foolish thing. I don't see how anyone calls this game sexist or misogynistic or whatever. lite_sleepr fucked around with this message at 16:05 on May 31, 2015 |

Since this bug has been in the game since launch, I think it will be very funny if it turns out that all primary and secondary quests were supposed to grant XP.

Oh god, if that were the case the XP curve would be totally hosed. I'm not even doing all of the secondary quests and I'm outleveling the primary quests as-is. (Or, at least, I was, before I started not getting XP from primary quests.)

Verranicus posted:The point is the game is easy enough that you don't need to be at the same level as a quest to do it, and being underlevelled isn't going to lock you out of beating the game. My friend beat it at level 18. I didn't realize that was possible, I thought the final quests were like level 35? I tried my hand at some 25ish contracts and even though some seem to be cheesable, others aren't and quen-cheesing just isn't fun anyway.

Yeah don't worry some of the quests in this game are not actually good idea to pick up. Like the only possible outcomes are worse than doing nothing. Like the one where you interrupt the rapist late at night on Novigrad's streets only to have his "victim" curse at you for making him break character.

RE: Nilfgaard being the "good guys" bringing civilization and law to the north: Their intention is to kick out the existing populace and settle the land with their own citizens as soon as the war is over.

Out of curiosity, was there a way to finish the Count Reuven's Treasure/Get Junior questline without murdering like every single person with a sword in all of Novigrad and burning down the witch-hunters' hide-out? I tend to prefer being a least a little more discreet, but things kind of... got out of hand.

I was able to finish it without issues. How far into the main quests are you? My guess is that you're done with Skellige and went to Kaer Morhen, meaning Lambert might also be back at Kaer Morhen, which would be why you can't finish the quest.

It's having a pretty huge effect on my game, since I don't have high enough levels for most of the witcher school equipment, more quests, skill slots, etc. I suppose I can assume, then, that I don't have the bug, considering that I'm getting XP from some quests still. It's just so weird that I've finished two rather long primary quests without getting XP at all, while contracts and the occasional secondary quest still give me XP. I think I might stop playing until the patch comes out anyway and then redo the last couple of primary quests just in case. (If nothing else, I can try to get a better outcome than "Geralt showed up and murdered literally everyone.")

Greenplastic posted:No? You will start to get xp again from the main quest once you finish up in Skellige. The subsequent quests will shower you with absurd amounts of experience and you'll absolutely keep pace or out level the end game. I just finished the game and got practically no experience for any of the story quests, secondary or main, in Novigrad and Skellige. Mild spoiler: You go back to those places later in the story, and you will get experience from the quests you do at that time. I was still several levels ahead of the recommended level for the final quest. The experience bug is really not a big deal. In fact, it probably makes the game better, to be honest. People saying they finished the game at level 20 or so probably ignored every secondary quest and tried to get through the main story as quickly as possible. The secondary quests are awesome, however, so I strongly recommend to do them in whether or not they give XP. Another mild spoiler: Cerys' quest in Skellige, even though it gave me no XP at all, feels just like an awesome story from one of the early Icelandic sagas and was totally worth doing. Complete change of subject: what did people thing about the end game fights against the wild hunt? I thought Imrelith was a gigantic pain in the rear end during his second stage and it took me a number of tries, though I was not exactly sober at the time either. Caranthir (which is a great name for an evil elf; I always appreciate Tolkien references) and Eredin were very predictable and easy, though.
