Why can't I use runes on anything that has slots? In the last game, it was no holds barred, but this time around I can barely use any of mine. And there doesn't seem to be any indication as to why I can't.

Has anyone found out what the quickest/best/most convenient merchant to sell all your poo poo to is? I've been going after the ?'s on the map and every single time I clear one I end up with an inventory full of swords and armour. I can't leave them behind, I must get my money's worth damnit  edit - ideally would be a stone's throw/overburdened shuffle from a quick travel point, and have tons of gold to buy my knackered old poo poo with.

I've amassed a large amount of monster bits and weeds, but it seems like the systems have changed so much, there's no point in having lots of them? Do I need them for when Geralt meditates and my potions are refilled?

For some reason I am constantly short of arenaria and ergot seeds even though I buy them everywhere I can. E: some of them are handy for dismantling for some crafting, for instance harpy feathers dismantles to monster feathers for the Griffin set.

The square in Novigrad is also a good one. Armorer with a few K coin, herbalist, moneychanger (for all those florens/orens you pick up) and a few other merchants.

Don't forget the bottle exchange hobo north of the docks in Novigrad. I think he buys everything and anything at full price but only sells bottles, so you'll need to buy a few stacks from him (exit and re-enter shop to refresh his inventory) and then sell those to whoever.

I'm not sure how far into the main story I am - it's really easy to get distracted and go off on your own. The Cronies of Crookbag Bog quest line was amazing. Those witches were terrifyingly creepy. I'm at the point where I return to Velen from Skellige. My only major complaint with the game is the music. It does get kind of repetitive, which isn't surprising considering how many hours I've poured into it. That one song in Novigrad with the flute or clarinet that just repeats over and over had me on the verge of madness. I also wish there was an option to put a compass on screen - separate from the mini map. I find myself staring at the mini map way to often to figure out where to go, which is a shame since the game looks amazing.

The highest I've seen for junk items at least. He gave me something like 250+ for the ruby rings. He's right across from that dwarf who stole all the dead mages poo poo assuming you didn't rat him out. Just wish he had more money at times.

Skill Chat: Thinking about respeccing to free up the "general" abilities I don't need anymore. I took arrow deflection early on, and it really really helped with all those bandit camps when I was on my obsessive "?" quest. Mid game (probably not? Level 20, though) and I haven't used it recently. Without majorly spoiling anything, is arrow deflection worth keeping or are those 3 points better spent elsewhere? Seems Iike the 5 points I have in dodge are better now. JetsGuy posted:I found some beggar/peasant on the shore of the river in Novigrad who gives an insane amount of money for poo poo.

There's a herbalist/alchemist outside of an eastern gate of Novigrad who'll buy monster trophies full price, but like any good merchant he has no cash. I'm starting to think the dirty bottle-man is your best bet. Mostly Combat/Alchemy build. Fast/Cat armor style   Alchemy in this game was weird at first with the not needed to constantly make potions, but I must say they've made alchemy far more appealing than it was in the Witcher 2. New Question: speaking of selling junk, is there someone I can sell bolts to? Or should I just drop them? I noticed they're taking up the most weight in my inventory and to be honest, outside of swimming, I never use the crossbow. Snuffman fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Jun 19, 2015 |

Hierarch square is where I did my selling, but mostly I just dropped stuff - 20k gold ain't doing me any good and I wish I had that time back.

Snuffman posted:Skill Chat: I think Bottle guy is the same guy I'm thinking of? I'm not 100%, but I *think* so. EDIT: I run through bolts so quickly I stopped crafting them because it was too much to worry about. lovely infinite bolts, yay! On a lot of tough fights you can actually stand just on the edge of the mob's aggro range and just bolt them. It's pretty useful if you're near death and need to recover. Just keep firing bolts at them and they get all sorts of mad. I finished off the fog witcher hunt that way after he was at 20% i just hung out on a ledge and bolted him down the rest of the way. His decoy buddies kept spawning and trying to hit me but I was just out of their area. JetsGuy fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Jun 19, 2015 |

Snuffman posted:Skill Chat: Yeah you can just take it out pretty safely, there won't be a sudden deluge of archers where you'd desperately need it or anything. By this point you should be strong enough that on the occasion where one does pop up you can just run right up to them and carve them apart with a few strikes.

I really like the mounted combat in W3. It feels great to gallop through a bandit camp and hit a couple of them before they even know what hit them. But it's especially good when you meet mounted bandits. There's nothing like a tourney-style encounter where you both run towards each other ready to strike. I know, it's not very realistic in a sense, but it's cool as hell. I'd like to see some tougher opponents on horseback, like a wild hunt warrior.

The moments of awkward silence when Roach halts on a dime and Geralt is just sitting there with his sword raised are great. And by great, I mean kind of frustrating

Once I learned you can hold the attack button down while on horseback to time your attacks, it became the superior method of taking out pretty much anything for me. It even gives you helpful slow-mo when you do it.

How hard is it to hit 34 by story to wear Wolf gear? I ended up around 32, 33 on normal but suspect B&BB makes it a tad harder...

The dude who buys stuff full price east of Novigrad is the Alchemist in the crematorium right? He's bugged for me, can't be interacted with at all, disappears when I meditate.

When I finished I just barely hit level 34 on BBB switching to DM halfway through. I have a ton of greyed quests and a few near my level, wasn't very completionist. I don't think you'll have much problem hitting 34 or even 35 eventually, but you won't get there until beating the game. Isles of Mists through the siege of Kaer Morhen drops like 4 levels of XP on you in a couple hours, and similarly the rest of the final main quests give another few levels worth. I hit level 25, had finished up all the character quests and most of my remaining quest log was gray quests or stuff I wasn't too excited about, so I did Isle of Mists and on through finishing the game. I went from 25 -> 34 pretty much entirely from main quest XP in the final sequences. The pacing of the level progression is really weird and since so much XP is tied up in the main quest line you're not going to be remotely near wearing Mastercrafted gear until you're nearly finished with the game.

(you don't need the steel plates and diamond dust and poo poo like that if you already have all of the stuff you want crafted)

I wish the game would be like every other RPG and tell you how many of an item you have when you have it selected in a merchant. Yeah, I can go over to the inventory and check, but what a pain in the rear end. Just tell me how many I have so I know what to buy. Also does the game keep selling you scrolls/formulae/diagrams for poo poo you already have? If so, gently caress off game.

I don't even know what the hell weighs so much since the inventory doesn't let me sort things by weight and I can't be bothered to go check every item manually. Maybe it's the combined weight of my ingredients collection, including literally 500 dwarven spirit, 400 alcohest and similarly silly amounts of everything else.
