Hey, so anyone who wants that sweet sweet fur collar on the bear armour from the concept art, I made a lovely mod that puts it in - http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/559/

Fire on high level mobs takes forever, that sounds like a terrible idea. Plus I think that Arachas mob might fight with additional smaller bugs which will also stomp you 20 levels under.

I FINALLY finished this game, I got the ending where where Ciri becomes a witcher. The only thing i'm really confused about, and impressed with, is I have no idea how my choices led to that. Is there anywhere that has some kind of list or chart that tells you what choices effect the ending you get?

There is. There are several decisions for you to make in regards to how you treat Ciri through the game. If you make a bunch of bad parenting choices, Ciri dies at the end. For example, the snowball fight is a good dad decision; so is wrecking Avellac'h's lab. If you take Ciri to meet the Emperor, she becomes the Empress of Nilfgaard instead of a Witcher assuming she survives the White Frost.

That cutscene should recap every relevant decision, and Empress also depends on how you deal with Mad Rad.

One thing I didn't like about the Act III was That Geralt, this witcher that knew all about black arts and has all this experience looks like a dumb grandpa trying to use a computer compared to pretty much everyone else at the end. It just seemed really jarring after playing Witcher 2 and the first half of Witcher 3. He always seems to know a little something about EVERYTHING and to appear so clueless at the end was weird. I also would have liked a lot more explanations on the "dimensions" that you could teleport between. I didn't understand if they were supposed to be different worlds, different universes, or different time periods on the same world.

She flashed back about both of those things when she wen through the portal There are five decisions to be made. To get one of the good endings you must do at least three of the below: 1. Snowball fight. 2. Refuse Emhyr's money if you visit him. 3. Let Ciri talk with the Lodge alone. 4. Trash Avallach's lab. 5. Bury Skjall and defend his honor. And that's it, really.

Fishstick posted:I'm glad I simulated a new W2 save on my NG+ now that I knew what the choices meant - I did the Reardon Manor sidequest just to get it off the list, got there. "Wait, I don't remember all these traps being here last time? Holy poo poo it's Letho!" W2 spoilers Letho, and his two mates (and a third, who appears right at the end of W1, is never named, and never spoken of again) are the remnants of the Viper school, the only school in Nilfgaard. The school fell apart/was destroyed, kind of like the Wolf school, and the Witchers went their separate ways. Eventually Emhyr hires them to assassinate the northern kings, promising to rebuild the school after they do. I don't recall any specific animosity between the schools, but given Letho killed your employer, fought you several times, kidnapped Triss (and then rescued her) and was generally a right pain in the arse, it's no real surprise he wouldn't want to just stroll up and convince all your buddies that he's a swell guy and they should all be roomies.

Geralt is not the chosen one and it's cool. Yennefer is smarter than him, Vesemir is more experienced and wiser, Ciri is more powerful. Geralt just happens to be the main character this time around.JetsGuy posted:So I just finished the Last Wish.

Sword of Destiny is the best book and it's required reading for the saga. You will be confused without it. Manatee Cannon posted:I don't like Sword of Destiny very much, but Geralt does meet Ciri in it Look at how wrong your opinion is. (I felt the same way when the only version I'd read was the fan translation, actually.)

I let Triss go at the end of the Now or Never quest. Then during the Dangerous Game quest, I found a statuette. Apparently the only person capable of checking this out is Triss. Is the quest gone forever, or can I ask her about it later?

I had the same thing happen where I found a second statuette, had Triss free the guy, but the quest glitched and has everything checked but never processed it as done. Also thanks for the advice on the books.

Do we know exactly how the recipe random drops work? I'm on my 2nd run and doing an alchemy build, so I rushed to the various alchemists in Velen and bought all the recipes they had. I was hoping I'd be ahead of the game, and would start getting enhanced versions earlier. Instead, I just don't get alchemy recipe drops at all. I assume once I get to a certain level, the game will let enhanced recipes drop, so I'll start getting them again?

Yeah, Ciri is the chosen one. And you could easily argue the books are really about her and not Geralt. And I think all the parts where Geralt doesn't know about "a thing" are for the players benefit. He actually knows a ton of poo poo about a ton of topics.

So on NG+, the end of the Novigrad section where you play as Ciri appears to be impossible for me, because Whoreson's guards randomly like to two-shot her. edit: disregard, I'm bad, just got past it. CVagts fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Aug 30, 2015 |

I can't believe that one dude in this thread wants Ciri to only teleport to other dimensions that are just that look like the current Witcher world when you have the chance to do that stuff! Does one of the things she says when you talk to her indicate she goes to our France? I'd love a game of playing as Ciri dimension hopping to all sorts of radically different worlds like that.

Geralt not knowing that much about all the weird inter-sphere stuff is consistent though. Very few people know much about that.

More than one person feels that way. It would stop being special if she did it constantly. It needs to be used sparingly.

If it's another 100+ hour long epic there could be enough universe hopping poo poo in it to fill a more conventional game and still be a minority of the play time.

We have to consider the possibility that Ciri will be a character in the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077. It's possible that her mention of this universe was not just an easteregg, but that CDPR could use Ciri's dimension hopping try to introduce other franchises they want to develop. If anyone could pull something like this off, it would be CDPR.

If you are a cyber-cop in 2077, she should be a street witness who also ends up starting the latest medieval fashion trend.

I think meeting Ciri would be an easter egg itself, rather than her being a major character.

Beeez posted:I think meeting Ciri would be an easter egg itself, rather than her being a major character. Well that's what I think too, but I'm just saying, we know very little about Cyberpunk 2077 and nothing about the direction of the Witcher franchise. Having her as a supporting character int 2077 could be the gateway to a Ciri game taking place in multiple dimensions. Think about it. In W3, there's 3 very different areas that you end up fast traveling between. Velen, Novigrad, and Skellige all fit thematically as different regions in the same world, but there's no reason they have to. A game where you play as Ciri could have 3 areas where one is a scifi setting, one is a fantasy setting, and one is our world in the modern day. If each of these areas had their own well-written stories and characters, and there were interdimensional events linking the stories together from Ciri's perspective, it could be really cool.

That would be really weird and I think might dilute the atmosphere a bit too much, but whatever, CDPR haven't failed me yet. Except with Iorveth and Saskia.

This gets compared to Dragon Age a lot so my comparison is that while this game has a better written story I still like Dragon Ages setting better. Also the normal people are written atrociously. Honestly if I lived in that world as Geralt I would see no reason to save it.

It's in the middle of the far East large landmass near an old hut. You could easily find it with google. It's also a great spot to farm lesser red mutagens and Arachas venom. Just meditate for an hour after you kill it to get it to respawn.

The problem with Dragon Age isn't the setting, it's the people. 95% of people in Dragon Age are either Good people or Bad people, and the game is very obvious about who is Right and who is Wrong. Characters exist solely to help or impede the progress of you, the hero. People in Dragon Age don't feel real, they feel like someone assembled them out of TVTropes pages, and they spill their life story to you like a TVTropes page. The character writing in The Witcher series is in another league entirely. I can't overstate how much better I think TW3 (the best of this series) is compared to DAI (the best of that series), even if you don't take gameplay into consideration.

I am one of the people that would argue that the saga, at least, is definitely about Ciri and that she is the main character. She's the point of view character more often than anyone else and almost every time someone else gets a pov it's about her. If nothing else, she is definitely the focus of those books from beginning to end.

Once you read the books, you'll be surprised how little witchering there's in there. I think there's like 3 or 4 situations where Geralt drinks a potion. Barely any monster hunting compared to all the other stuff that happens. Geralt kills shitloads of people though.

Does Geralt ever use bombs in the books? It's a big mechanic in the games, and I can't really recall any specific instances. Hell, he rarely even uses signs from what I remember.
