But as I started heading towards the area, I suddenly failed. I checked the quest log, but there's explanation as to why I failed. Another lovely bug? She may have been eaten by dogs or killed by the nearby pirates.

This game is really really good. Only complaint is sometimes the quests get a little too indirect. Like, I'm rescuing a cat from a tree so I can bring it back to the shop with a mouse problem so the owner will sell me special bread to feed a child who knows where my friend who has information is.

You don't have to do that particular thing to advance the storyline fyi. The important thing is to find out who's bankrolling Junior, and you can do that in the arena without ever setting foot in the casino. If Gwent is unfun busywork to you, you should really just ignore it.

His horse is no better. Roach will come to a dead stop on a dime while in a full gallop for no reason, and lose races because of it.

Did you guys really have issues with the horse races? I won nearly every one on the first try (except for that one in Skellige with the woman who bolts like loving lightning, though the race is super short.) I am by no means a fan of races or good at them...but I found these to be super easy. Just stay in the middle of the track unless you have to dodge something and body block your opponent while you recover stamina.

nickmeister posted:Hmm. But she was so close to a town, and I was only gone for like ten seconds! Yeah, that usually happens.  I'm not a fan of how abruptly quests can fail due to stuff like this. Escort missions sure, but the game is a bit weird about NPC protection. Geralt either shakes his fist at the person or gets blocked by a "can't attack that" message. Shouldn't have been too hard to give quest givers some sort of outright immunity. Speaking of which do you ever get to a point where you can just go on a rampage against soldier NPCs or will they always be ?? to you?

To be fair: From the perspective of Eradin, this is exactly how you want outsiders to think of you. Nobody on this planet knows anything about you aside from the fact that you show up and murder/kidnap people wholesale. If survivors knew you were just uppity space elves they would be more incline to put up a resistance force rather than just accept that the Specter of Death is made manifest. Since you were brain wiped at the beginning of Witcher 1, it makes sense that Geralt defaulted back to the same view the peasants have that the Wild Hunt is just Death Incarnate.

ZenVulgarity posted:Find the witcher gear Counterargument: Don't. I hunted down all three witcher gear sets as soon as possible and while they look nice (at least once upgraded) and have optimized stats for three different play styles, they make every quest reward or looted treasure feel like junk. Now that loot from most undiscovered locations has been patched to be closer to your actual level and is no longer hot garbage - or at least not as often as before - I myself would skip the witcher gear, at least in my second playthrough. Start collecting it when you're close to level 30 to complete them, but don't limit yourself to them because they are basically best in slot.

Can't remember the name of the quest so I'll spoiler it, but it involves throwing something into an oven. It's the quest where you're tricking some spirit that acts as a parasite and you've got the choice to throw a baby in an oven, I did it, but it turns out it's not the baby of the guy you're curing. So whose baby is it? it definitely seems to be moving and crying when you get handed it

At some point in the game doesn't Avallach or someone mention that the Red Riders deliberately customise their armour to be terrifying to the locals of whatever planet they're thrashing? I'm pretty sure the Wild Hunt is deliberately trying to give the impression that they're the horsemen of the apocalypse.

Well I figured that it was the same baby, just thrown in an area that wasn't an oven and she retrieved it when she walked back out. But that quest was hosed up because right after that, before she brings the baby back out, you have to kill three men from his guard who think you've thrown a baby in an oven. So yeah the baby is still alive and the creature is banished, but at the cost of three innocent lives and no one (even Geralt) comments on it

I absolutely had to see what the hell would happen That outcome for the quest made no sense to me. Geralt explicitly explains to Cerys that for the monster to be drawn out, the new target had to experience genuine guilt and then shortly afterwards realize that the was unwarranted. Geralt feeling genuine guilt over putting the baby in the oven would then require him to blindly trust Cerys enough to put it in there in the first place, but not enough to realize that she'd also have a way to make sure it would be safe since that was a prerequisite for their plan to work. Also, nobody mentions the hapless guards you cut down after putting the baby in the oven.

Turns out Geralt was feeling guilty because he killed the guards, not because of the baby.

Does anyone have a link to a good, informed Let's Play of the first Witcher game? It's not that I'm unwilling to play through it myself even if I do hate the gameplay, but the game crashes every 15 minutes for me ever since I upgraded my PC and I can't for the life of me figure out how to stop them. I'd still like to experience the story though before I get too invested in The Witcher 3 but all of the Let's Plays I've seen tend to be blind runs where the LPer can't tell their arse from their elbow.

I hate water in this game. Swimming is obnoxious, but I found an entirely new hatred - waist/chest deep water. You know. The water that won't let you swim, only walk slowly though. Well, it finally drove me crazy as I was clearing off question marks from my map. I'm 31 wandering around level 10 and under mobs. It's just a formality mostly. Well, suddenly Geralt shoots 3 feet down into the ankle deep water I've been running around in. Oh, sweet, there's a little trench in the middle of this swamp. Well that's annoying. Except there's also literally no way to get out of it. And because the way fast travel and everything else works - I can't interact, I can't do anything. Geralt, badass witcher, slowly starves to death in 4 feet of water because he can't climb out. Had to reload my freaking game just to get out of it.

Is the first storyline boss the griffin in White Orchard just generally supposed to be this much of a pain or is it Death March difficulty? Because up until know everything on Death March was challening but enjoyable, but the griffin basically feels way harder. (Though I had similar feelings about the first "real" boss monster in Witcher 2 as well.)

The only ending bit of Witcher 2 that is ever referenced come Witcher 3 is "Did you kill Letho and/or Shille De Tanserville?" and i think "Did Roche join Radovid and start wearing Redanian colors?" Nothing else from W2's endgame is really referenced in pretty much any way.

Hopefully the expansions shed some light on questions like what happened to Anais, Saskia or Iorveth. I think the only time Anais is mentioned in 3 is the interrogation with Voorhis if you simulate a Witcher 2 save.
