Don't think anyone has disagreed on that point. Like he outright says that in the cutscene.

This whole discussion has just made me sad that the Crusaders Kings II witcher mod isn't very good. And has weird off-putting poo poo added to it like a "rape prisoners'" button.

This is really good.

edit: I also watched your The Last of Us Alternative Launch trailer, and it's amazing as well. For what it's worth, I think you're a real artist. These trailers grabbed me as much as any really good professional film trailer. I would love to ask you about your process, but this isn't really the place. Do you have an FAQ or bio somewhere where you talk about it?

I tried to start a NG+ game, but it told me that my previous saves were not from after I completed the game, even though they are.

From what I read earlier in the thread - install the DLC, load your game, save it, then try to start NG+ again.

Load the save where you've beaten the game, make a new save, then reload the new save.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I can't for the life of me figure out to throw bombs or use the crossbow while keeping my sword out. Whenever I hit the button to use one of those things Geralt puts away his sword and THEN uses it. Makes it a bitch to fight flying things when you down them with a bolt but by the time you pull out your loving sword again they are back on their feet and maybe even up in the air again. Please tell me there is a way to quick way to throw bombs/shoot the crossbow in the middle of combat like the Witcher 2.

I seem to remember one set of armor where they were both in the same area... I know that doesn't help much but are you sure you looted everything?

I see what my problem is now. I had both superior and enhanced the whole time, but they aren't listed next to each other in the crafting screen so when I didn't see one I thought I didn't have it.

Weird, I loaded a game, hit F5, then tried to use that quick save which didn't work. I then loaded that quicksave and manually saved, which did work.

Terrible menus strike again. Everything in crafting menus is listed in alphabetical order. This does not organize things relationally at all. I would have rather things not be sorted at all and had the the tiers grouped together, or the sets grouped together.

Also what kind of crafting systems tells you how many of each ingredient are in your inventory, but not how many of the finished product?

Edit: ^ It's not weird at all that quicksave didn't work. The quick-save system is practically separate from manual save system.

So is New Game + a horribly glitchy mess?

Please tell me it is so I don't feel so bad about being in the middle of a regular re-play now and convince myself to start over to use the New Game + feature.

Looks like Tomira the white orchard alchemist has been cut from NG+ I'm guessing because making swallow would take away the superior swallow.

Hopefully more important things haven't been removed.

This isn't true. I did her quest and just gave her a Superior Swallow and it worked just fine.

Though buckthorn appears to be the only herb that carries over in NG+, so (assuming you have one) as soon as you get to her part of the griffin contract, they just skip the "go to Tomira" part because you already have the buckthorn you need.

Merchant opening times can be a bit wonky. I think half of Velen's shops were marked on my map but completely inaccessible regardless of what time I went to it until after I'd done a couple of plot missions.

Does NG+ mean that I can start the game wearing my mastercrafted witcher gear, but those early game swords and gambesons you find in White Orchard are actually better?

Without any graphical differences is there any real difference between a NG+ and a regular replay, aside from the numbers all being higher?

How moddable are those menus? They are my single greatest gripe about the game, the journal especially. Would it have been so hard to indicate the current distance to objective there, or at least a "show on map" button? No, I have to open up the "Secondary Quests" list, find the quest there, track it, switch to map screen, find where the hell is the objective icon, and decide if its worth to go there. And if not, do the same thing again with another quest.

Apparently, there's a "legendary" set of witcher gear for each school that as their base is better than the mastercrafted.

I think they only drop from Nekker Warriors (red faced type) sometimes. Only place you can reliably get them is from the nests. That's why they're a common target for the re-loot bug.

I just got to Skillege after basically completing EVERY side activity in Velen/Novigrad and holy poo poo, theres a lot to do here to. I can feel my interest draining, I am thinking about skipping a lot of side content. If I do end up skipping some of it, what are the level requirements to finish the game? Whats a good level you kind of need to be around?

You will be around level 30. if you just power through the main quests now you will have around 10 hours to go or so.

I know that's what it says (well, I guessed at the moon language) but a Level 78 Griffin seems like it deserves some new taxonomy.

That's probably the NG+ version of the level 48 Skellige beast--looks like NG+ just tacks on 30 levels to every creature. So you could fight it towards the end of the game, and/or when you get archgriffin decoction.
