Senjuro posted:Also just want to say bravo for the tax collector bit. Not often a game causes me to actually laugh out loud. It's Geralt's bewilderment about the whole thing that gets me. I like that his reactions of "Me?? Never!" could be taken as earnest confusion if you're telling the truth or sarcastic ribbing if you're lying.

Expansion spoiler, but I loved the conversation in the painted world up until the conversation with ghost lady's ghost when Geralt is trying to get the rose from her, and he plays it like a loving pro rather than get emotionally involved in the conversation. He just seems to draw up a "Ok, you're this kind of wraith. That must mean blah blah blah, and banishing would require blah blah blah.". Its very methodical and professional, and seems 100% befitting of a Witcher given what we know about them. He doesnt just kill 'em, he diagnoses em in a way. Witchers being able to deduce the overall "type" of a creature is awesome, as well as how they can pretty much just mentally reference the nature of their origin and any non-silver-swordy methods of banishment, if the Witcher feels so inclined. There are still a few abominations and entities that dont fit the descriptions, and Geralt will throw out a few guesses now and then to spitball it before the final decision. That part of the expansion stood out to me as very well written.

So I'm trying to sperg a bit and figure out what causes stamina regen to be glitched and increased in NG+. So far, I've determined that if your save has griffon school arts equiped and are wearing medium gear you gain an additional 10/s stamina regen in NG+, during the fight with the ghouls. I think this is because in the Kaer Morhen scene your stats are imported, and you are forced to wear 2 pieces of medium gear, but your stamina is not-recalculated. When the game restores the rest of your gear, you now are wearing two more pieces of medium armor, and thus your stats increase by 10/s. However, I have a save game where I actually get 15 extra stamina. I have no clue what is causing this extra stamina, but I'd like to figure out how else to glitch extra stats. (perhaps cat school for extra damage?)

I just got to the painted world last night and stopped. I absolutely love this DLC. I don't know if the wedding quest tops the Bloody Baron quest, but it comes drat close. And I love that the Caretaker is so screwed up, even Geralt of Rivia is like "the gently caress was that?"

Adds a large new quest line and a number of sidequests in the Oxenfurt region. Some of these quests have some minor changes to dialogs in some areas of the main game, and they added some dialogues here and there in the last few patches too.

I played it from a save I made after finishing the main game. You can technically start the DLC quest anytime after leaving the prologue area, but I've heard that it remains scaled for a level 32 character, and you might have a tough time reaching that level without completing the main game in the process. Regarding how it affects the rest of the game; It seems that there's multiple points in the DLC where your options are affected by what point you are at in the main game's questline, and potentially offer information that is helpful to making the right choices in the main game, but it doesn't really change how the story of finding Ciri plays out. It is essentially a large, high-quality and very elaborate side-quest. Gameplay-wise, it does add in some new and unique options for enhancing your weapons and gear instead of the normal runes and glyphs from the main game, but it feels more like an afterthought to the actual DLC content.

TheTrend posted:What you choose to spoil or not is very interesting. Thanks. Come on now, don't be a baby; I said there was a monster in a location that anyone that has ever played any RPG ever would automatically expect to find monsters (and it appears on the first notice you find that begins the whole expansion) and that at some point you fight a wizard in a completely nondescript location, plus you see a building on fire at some point. That's hardly plot-spoiling. I put the dumb strategy in spoilers just in case there are people that like to figure out such puzzles by themselves. And if you hadn't noticed, there are dozens of posts directly above mine that give away the ending and a romance plot, so it's really weird that you single out my deliberately plot spoiler-free post.

Playing on PS4 and have run into an issue in the painted world. I'm being told to kill the wraiths (large smoker spider with many small ones. No matter how many times I do I cannot proceed. They'll keep respawning and I'll keep killing, but cannot progress the quest any further. Anyone run into this? Also, I've twice added the pyerog and tvarog runestones to swords, and noticed that both of the runes completely disappear at some random point. At first I thought I may have accidentally sold off my sword with them slotted, but confirmed I did not. Anyone know what these to runes do when combined with each other (other than disappear)?

I beat the game and these dudes were hanging out in my yard. Can't kill or interact with them at all.  Edit: I picked up the ear ring that fell out with the pile of bed stuff in the corner and 2 of the 3 disappeared. I made my way out to the main entrance/courtyard and found 2 more standing in the bushes. Nerolus fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Oct 18, 2015 |

This may be a weird question but does anyone have a save before the Olgierd Von Everec nightmare fight if you do could you PM it to me or send me a link to one? I want to do that fight again to go for an achievement. I just don't really feel like going through a bunch of stuff again to get to it. I have the Steam version if it matters.

Speaking of the DLC, there's been some great humor so far. Like in the vault heist quest, I got a good laugh out of Geralt being annoyed at the drat candles in the way when he's trying to loot some treasure. Or the gwent-crazy merchant. Or the soldier and his commander bickering. Or ... the whole wedding. It's all just lovely.

I chuckled when you finish the runechanting vendor questline, and after you drop all those crowns, the vendor goes "now I just need some rare-" to which geralt cuts him off and says "no way, outta the question, not gonna happen, you're gonna have to make do" and the vendor is all like "fair enough"

I'm less than five hours in, but since I have a long and shady history of doing stupid things with my witcher builds, where should I be focusing my skill points? Right now I'm just pumping fast attack bonuses, because nothing seems that great and fast attacks are 90% of what I do.

Right now I'm just pumping fast attack bonuses, because nothing seems that great and fast attacks are 90% of what I do. If you're playing on medium or less, yeah, fast attacks and whatever you find fun in terms of signs is fine. On BBB or DM, you're going to need to plan a bit more. You're almost certainly going to want the alchemy skill that increases maximum toxicity so that you can combine decoctions and chug potions, plus alt Quen is amazing to heal yourself up. If you like signs, then Igni with increased burn chance is mega useful against groups of downers and nekkers, plus it'll make short work of a lot of contract monsters. Wraiths, golems, elementals and a few other things really suffer against yrden and strong attacks, too. I just finished ng+ (including dlc) on death march in griffin gear, going igni, quen and yrden with fast attacks for most of the game, switching out yrden and igni for strong attacks against bosses that resist signs. Always had max toxicity increased plus the alchemy skill that heals for every potion drunk.

Why would they bother? You'd have to have four in your hand to make each worth 4... in a game where 5 is the absolute minimum for inclusion in a decent deck. You're literally better off with Sheldon Skaggs.
