I'm actually intentionally looking for merchants and smiths to play gwent with now so I can get all of the random cards, I'm still missing Villentretenmerth, Zoltan, and Philippa but apparently there's a million low power elves and monsters that it's gonna give me first. It's starting to get hard to remember who I've already been to.

Big spoiler for the end of Triss's Novigrad arc: Ahahahahaha. A plot to assassinate a king is a SIDE quest? Witcher 3 really just never stops delivering. I am absolutely loving Djikstra's character. He's extremely well written.

Dandywalken posted:Seconded on that guy. I didnt even remember the fucker from previous games, and he's well written enough that I felt guilty about that. That's because he isn't in them. He's from the books. He's really good in this game, I agree. Except for the part at the very end of his quest line where he betrays Roche and Thaler and tries to have them killed. That part seemed poorly justified to me, though his line about always being cast as a halberdier in the play was funny.

Pellisworth posted:The choice on what to do with the spirit also (Baron ending spoilers): determines the final outcome of the Baron quest which you wouldn't know unless you've spoiled yourself or played past that part. So I'm pretty sure it's something like this is probably a bug but I freed the spirit before talking to the crones (not knowing they were related) and both Anna and the kids survived.

I think that's the only way to do both, as the Crones can't punish Geralt/Anna for disobeying them about the spirit when they hadn't even told Geralt what to do yet. I mean they could because they're assholes, but it appears that they don't.

I have no idea why he thought Geralt would have been okay with that, or that he really had the ability to kill Geralt with that lovely ambush, either. Given that Roche had just saved Geralt's life in the scene before that and saves him in Witcher 2 even if Geralt betrays him and sides with Iorveth, I don't know what kind of monster the player would have to be to choose not to stick up for Roche.

Dandywalken posted:gently caress, they meshed him in smoothly so I assumed he was a previous game Most of the characters from the games are straight out of the books. And a lot of them that aren't have book parallels (for example Roche is Temerian Djikstra and Iorveth is the Squirrel commander whose name I forget, right down to the scar). They do a good job with them. Hell, people like Triss and Djikstra are both way more likable in the games than they ever were in the novels.

It makes even less sense if you read the books because Djikstra tried to detain Geralt once and he beat the poo poo out of all the guards and broke Djikstra's leg (this is where the limp comes from). He's relying on the whole Witcher neutrality, but after you've become a willing accomplice in regicide I don't know why he'd think you'd still be neutral in this matter. His position isn't really in character at all and doesn't make any sense besides. Why wouldn't he try and get Roche and Temaria's support for this? If Roche was willing to put Temaria under Nilfgaard, surely he'd be willing to work with someone he already knew and relied on like Djikstra. That was a bad scene.

Dandywalken posted:gently caress, they meshed him in smoothly so I assumed he was a previous game What choice was there? Radovid had to die to save Redania from itself, but without him the kingdom was toothless. Thaler/Roche's outcome was acceptable for Temeria, but Redania ceased to be and the remaining Redanians would be either booted off the reservation or hung from lampposts. Djikstra uncharacteristically played the stage for drama at the end because he knew what a long shot it was, potentially going up against Geralt. He was, though, as he said, a patriot.

Literally everything she does after that book, in both the novels and this game, is to help Geralt and/or Ciri. She's actually far more consistently altruistic and willing to sacrifice herself for the good of her loved ones than Triss. She's a bitch but she's always characterized as a good person.

Well god drat. I just used my last Ekkimara hide for a potion I didn't need and saved before I noticed it. Has no source of ekkimara hide been found still? It's kinda poo poo if you can't make all the potions and their upgrades. Edit: What's the deal with that Brothel by the big Nilfgaard army camp? There's something mentioned about sneaking into it with a uniform. Future DLC hook? Edit 2: Hey Roche remember in the Witcher 2 when (end spoiler)we said we'd never talk about killing Hensalt again!? Why are random temerian guerillas bringing it up!!!

You can get into the House of Respite with the fancy Nilfgaardian clothes you have to wear in the intro and/or the party you go to with Triss. Pretty sure the tailor in Novigrad restocks them if you got rid of them somewhere along the line. That area is so weird. You never have any incentive to go there, but it's all around level 12 content. I didn't wander over there until I was clearing up question marks at like level 31.

Or if this is the first Witcher game you've played. I guess I just liked her quest and storyline more than Yen's. Probably since burning hordes of Witchhunters to death with Igni and then throwing Dancing Star along with Dragon's Dream into them never got old.

I finished up! I didn't really do treasure hunts and there's still post game question marking to do, but I finished all contracts and secondary quests except Collect Em All and some miniquests I almost certainly missed (apparently there's a riddle troll?). Fantastic game, got the season pass, and even got exactly the results I was hoping for in the ending. Nilfgaard wins, Skellige prospers under Cerys, Temeria gets autonomy, Ciri becomes heir apparent, Charles Dance cleans house, and Yen drags Geralt into retirement. Only thing I would change is avoiding the baron stringing himself up, which I assume is why I didn't get anything for Velen. There's some other loose ends, things I assume are dlc, alternate paths, or just poo poo I missed. Who is the king of beggars working with (I assumed Nilfgaard)? What happened to the last crone? Little things like that. It's not perfect, but the flaws are mostly minor and ignorable. Not going to try 1 again and don't have anything 2 works on, but I think I might get back into the books, I only ever read Last Wish and Blood of Elves.

I keep dismembering all the ploughing Nekker Warriors and destroying their hearts, apparently. I'm hoping enough people whine about it on their forums that they patch in a vendor for these rare ingredients like they did in 2 and that they cost a lot of gold to buy. I'm kicking myself that I didn't didn't pick up nekker hearts when I destroyed their nests because I had no drat idea they were so loving rare at the time. I was drowning in them in 2 so figured I'd find plenty here too later on.

Next Nekker nest I came across, I abused the infinite item spawn bug (take all but one item from a blown up monster nest), cancel, open again and it's full of loot again.
