The hold heavy attack power strike on Tier 3 of the melee tree annihilates shield dudes. Cuts through it like it's made of tissue.

Lord Lambeth posted:Yer-den. That's how Sile pronounced it anyway.  Also I noticed a couple of messages left around Velen and the outskirts of Novigrad by Odrin. This game is just crammed with references to the earlier games and books. I couldn't stop grinning after running into Thaler, as well, my favourite character from the first game.

Levantine posted:I've used both normal and alt Igni against shield guys and it doesn't phase them at all. Normal Igni against guys with shield up does nothing. Flamethrower sets them on fire slightly slower than it does normal dudes. Oh, and if you set them on fire while they're trying to attack you, they still hold onto their shield while doing the burning animation.

Alt-igni will make them drop their shield after a couple seconds. The only problem is that sometimes they just attack you while you're sitting there shooting fire at them.

Okay so I just have to ask to because I am paranoid. I am level 14 or so, I am running around Novigrad doing mainquest stuff there because I had read that you could get some great Gwent cards from Zoltan eventually. I wanted to do that before heading to Skillige. However, there are a lot of successive quests trying to free Dandelion. I just met Roche and am about to go kill Whoreson Junior. I forgot to meet up with Cleaver for the "Gangs of Novigrad" quest because I didnt see it in the dozen+ sidequests I have, and now that I talked to Radovid and got Whoreson's location, the quest to meet up with Cleaver failed. If I continue to do this mainquest stuff before heading to Skellige is there anything else major I am going to gently caress up? I know you can go to Skellige at any time but now I keep getting this "well I shouldnt leave this quest to save Dendelion dangling because I know that once I get to Skellige I'll be there for a while" feeling.Mordiceius posted:Dijkstra has some pretty loving great writing.

It's the single best sign for single enemies, IMO. It's not great against packs of humans because they almost always have archers. I like Axii for humans because it doesn't matter what they do, they are instantly incapacitated. Igni is king for just about anything else that comes in a pack though, alt or otherwise.

In the beginning, I also often just hopped on Roach, it's always hilarious how completely unable the bandits are to hit you then.

Gilganixon posted:My wife was asking me what I was doing in the game and I when I went to explain why I was spamming Yrden everywhere I realised I don't know how to say Yrden. How is it pronounced? It's like Ear-Den, but the beginning E sound has a bit of a Y-sound inflection. That's how I always figured it was pronounced anyway, but I guess I can see "Yur-Den" making sense as well.

I don't know if this is something ya'll are experiencing or can help me with, but a lot of times when I move, there are little lines that appear in the video. They look like when v-sync is turned off, where one part of the screen seems to catch up with the other. Thing is, I have vsync turned on. Any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Anyone tooled around with the game files yet? There's a .bundle/.cache importer and re-importer here: http://aluigi.altervista.org/ Importing/re-importing seems to work, for some things. People have successfully changed some of the .xmls at the very least. I'm trying to find the icons used for various inventory items. Had no luck. Guess they could be embedded in the .redswf files, which if possible would be a terrible thing. Or they're in the texture.cache, which content can't be decompiled yet. Anyone know where icons might be stored?

Merry Magpie posted:Does the Witcher 3 ever resolve the dangling plot hook from Witcher 2? It's hard to betray something you were never really part of. Book Spoilers Yennifer was blindsided and kidnapped by Francesca Findabair during the Thanedd coup. Then taken back to Dol Blathanna. When the lodge was formed Francesca changed Yennifer back from statue to person. Ensured she couldn't escape. Demanded from Philippa that she be allowed 3 seats in the Lodge and then took Yennifer to the first meeting forcibly(I guess because Francesca is an idiot and wanted to stack the Lodge with as many elves as possible and Yennifer is 1/4th elvish.) While there they dampened the entire proceedings to keep Yennifer from escaping and basically told her if she didn't agree to join the lodge they were going to shank her. She only escaped because Fringilla Vigo clued her in to a dangerous trick she could use to circumvent the magical imprisonment.

A Gwent related question: I think I read somewhere that the innkeeper in Arnbjörn (Skellige) is supposed to sell the Thaler card. Well, as it happens, I went there earlier after stumbling on the lighthouse, doing the contract before hearing about it, talked to Jorund, got into a brawl and somehow started a new quest chain with madman Lugos. The innkeeper won't talk to me anymore. Am I forever screwed now? Maybe cdprojekt could fix that guy, hm?

The Witcher 2 rules but you don't need to play it to get into this one. Make sure you read the compendium pdf that comes with the game, it's short but will bring you right up to speed.

Finally arrived at Skellige, swam around in the first bay there for a bit while some cool music played. A whale rose out of the water, started to dive back in, then the animation froze with the tail sticking up in the air. Majestic.

I hate to be that guy, but how bad is the jump from BBB difficulty to Death March? As much as I love this game there is no way in hell I'm going through a map this size twice, and if I'm gonna restart to get all the trophies I figure I'd better do it now.

Finished my first playthrough on Broken Bones and only just started a new game on Death March. Had to reload that first fight against those ghouls with Vesemir a couple of times, does that answer your question? Although it should be said I probably missed my potions most of all, and that once you get those it should get easier.

The gangs of novigrad is just an alternate way to do the casino, fighting pits and so on, where you run in with a bunch of dwarves and kill everyone immediately. If you start investigating and then go to Cleaver geralt just says he's already on it and rejects him, so I think you can't do both. Much cooler to go in sneakily and play cards and stuff.

The quest where you help Triss and the mages escape Novigrad stands out as completely bugged - got most of the way through the sewers before I realized Triss wasn't following me, went back and got her then realized she'd turned invisible, I was hearing Geralt's dialogue like it was 20ft away through a wall etc. Quite something. Talking of gripes, I was on my way to do a story mission and run into a cutscene trigger for a sidequest that was about 8 levels too high for me that I didn't even remember picking up. Thanks to my MLG pro gam3r skills and several mainline injections of dewritos I was able to scum through it but it was kind of annoying. Game still awesome and remarkably bugfree tho.
