Charlie Brown posted:I've came across a few untranslated crafting things, I'm assuming they'll be decent. If you go talk to the merchant outside the Runecraft guy (his related quest should pop up when you first load up the DLC) you can get the quest relating to those - they're level 38 and slightly better than the top of the line Witcher gear from the base-game (and have a related achievement I believe).

DLC is awesome so far but it gave me a lot of weird graphical bugs. Like it will randomly switch focus during cutscenes and normal gameplay and now when I go to the inventory there's a black square behind Geralt that blocks all the stuff at the top of the screen like weight carried and all that. Also it seems to me like the framerate dropped a little.

Jesus Christ, the Iris's Fear boss. Even with the alternative control scheme the last part of that fight is an infuriating bitch. I like the design of a lot of the DLC bosses, but the controls still aren't quite sharp enough to prevent some bullshit deaths.

PantsBandit posted:I actually found the Yrden secondary to be the strongest of the signs. It lasts a long time, does decent damage, and almost always makes enemies flinch on hit. Quen overall is pretty broken. Regain chunks of health by being attacked, 25% damage reflect, splash damage and knockdown chance when pierced. Max out intensity and it's very nicely op.

I wonder if they will continue expanding Velen in the next expansion or if will be exclusively Toussaint. There's still a lot of space that could be filled out in Velen.

StoneOfShame posted:Caretaker was much, much worse. Caretaker glitched out on the last stage for me. He summoned the dudes he heals from, but he and said dudes all just stood there while I took out the last chunk of his health. Iris's Fear on the other hand I just quit after dying several times from the one hit strike at the end because Geralt dodged forward even though I was holding the directional stick in the correct direction. Was even being very disciplined and moving in that direction ahead of time to ensure the direction would be correct. You can't have sludgy controls for the sake of realistic animation and Souls-lite punishing precision-demanding bosses at the same time, CDPR. I mean, you can obviously, it just sucks.

I finally bought Witcher 3 and started the prologue. I'm at some tavern asking about Yenn. Before I get too far in this: are there any decisions to watch out for that mean you can't return to a place and you'll permanently miss out on some item that can't be found elsewhere? I hate making choices that are irreversibly regrettable, especially when it comes to neato gear. Thanks, all.

I haven't gotten to the expansion stuff yet but for those who have read the comic that came with it: we all agree it's pretty dumb, right? I hope it's not canon to the games. It's really poorly written and seems like whoever did it worked on a really broad outline at best of what happened in TW2. (Vergen is suddenly a democracy, everyone knows Saskia is a dragon, Iorveth died on the way back to his home planet, Geralt is just kind of hanging out in the six months between games instead of looking for Yennefer, etc etc) Also holy poo poo Saskia's tits. Holy poo poo.

Just finished the DLC, and I have to say overall I liked it even more than the main quest (I felt it went too far off the rails at the end). They did a good job painting Olgierd as an evil rear end in a top hat and they never really backed down on that while leaving you at the end of question what kind of person he'd have been without the pact, someone worth saving or not.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Was this on PC? Because it went away like instantly for me. AND I DRANK ALL THE BOOZE Yes and I found another dude with the same problem after yesterdays furious googling. So if you are on PC and still drunk in the morning - reload the save because console command doesn't work. Getting drunk again offers only temporary solution, Geralt sobers up but the effect returns after every cutscene or conversation.

Sidequests are good, treasure hunts and points of interest should just be done when you feel like it. Even the actual sidequests though...there's so drat many of them, I'd think you'd get burned out trying to do every single one of them in a single game.

It is, but even so, he doesn't sound like an older Dandelion. I actually thought he was Vesemir at first.

Palpek posted:When it comes to gear you can't miss out on much but also you won't care about 99% of unique gear in the game as the only thing that matters are the Witcher sets. The thing to remember is to collect everything with Dimeritium in its name and never sell it because you'll badly need that stuff to craft the final sets and it will cost a fortune to buy from the couple of merchants who sell it. I finished up selling some relic swords (but not before checking down if they could be broken down to dimerwhatsit) to raise the funds instead.

Just did the very long wedding sequence that is the first of three things you get tasked with doing and everybody was right, it's just tremendous fun from start to finish. Taking a moonlight stroll with Shani at the end of that and seeing everybody/everything that I'd encountered throughout the day was pretty cool too.

DLC armor stuff : So I found two pretty cool armor but none with the stats I'd like. Ofieri armor: solid defense and good sign bonuses, light. Viper school armor: very good defense nd that's all, medium. Is there any new armor with melee or mixed offensive bonuses ?

Goddamn, the boss fight at the end of Scenes of a Marriage is absolutely kicking my arse on Death March right now. My hand is aching so much that I physically can't finish it tonight. I'm getting about 3/4's of the way through and then getting one shotted because I get sloppy for a second. I'll crack it tomorrow, but bravo to whoever designed that fight, it's genuinely hard. The caretaker was pretty easy once you figured out what was going on, it just took a long time to wear it down.

gently caress, super pissed to learn that you can't get the viper gear if you don't buy it the first time. I wanted to save my money for the auction and the game gave no indication that the vendor would disappear afterward. That doesn't happen for any of the other important diagrams and there's really no reason for her to, other than to dick over players.
