Geralt. What the gently caress Geralt. I mean, just...oh my god.

Fighting the Crones was fun, but Geralt's clearly got the tougher of the two fights. rear end in a top hat kept wrecking me in his final phase. I got good and reshuffled my potions and attributes a few times and finally got a set up that works. Now that food will constantly heal me, I can overdose on potions to my heart's content now!

Imlerith is a great boss fight and the frustration of his teleport assault phase just makes giving him the ol' spicy helmet even more satisfying.

Does the armor enchant that makes Igni killed dudes explode also work with the Dancing Star bombs? Or is it strictly fire damage from Igni?

Those respec potions are infinite in supply if I can find and afford them, right?

Also because I don't mind cheating a bit is there a command or cheat or something to reset skill points on a save?

Yes, compared to White Orchard, the ? in Velen are far more varied in level ranges and you'll hit level 10, 15, and 20 mobs not too far from where you start out. Additionally, far fewer of the ? area in Velen are Places of Power, compared to how every other one was in White Orchard, so they aren't even particularly useful to getting you ability points right now. Quests will pit you against level appropriate challenges and you can rack up experience quite quickly just by going into the Baron's questline and following it to its end. I don't recall it being terribly difficult either. Once you start to get close to level 10, you'll have a lot more freedom to not die to just about everything. Getting an upgrade to your armor should be one of your top priorities as well, I found that helped a lot.

Making the Gwent traditionalists salty about getting wrecked by Skellige feels good, man.

Haven't tried the new armors yet, but I'm digging the Viper armor dyed black:

For some reason the scales on the gloves don't get dyed black like the scales on the chestpiece, but it still looks pretty good IMO.

I remember reading that someone had Triss show up during the "epilogue" but I got to see Dandelion's rear end instead.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get Yen at the end instead? And what would I have to do for that?

The cinematography in Witcher 3's cutscenes are loving amazing. I didn't even notice the fact that they reuse sooo many animations until the end of the main game or so.
It just all looked so fluid that it didn't catch my eye.

Character animations are one thing, but the camera work is so clever it makes me wonder if there isn't a trick to it.

Yea I got Yen. Looks like it's just your romance option from the main game. Since you got Dandelion, I'm guessing you got the threesome ending for the romances.

It's based on the fate of characters from the main game's ending. There's four possible characters there.

Yen or Triss appear if you have an active romance with one of them (so don't try to have both)
Ciri appears if you have no active romance and she became a witcher
Dandelion appears if you have no romance and Ciri became empress

It's on Youtube already if you want to see it. She brings a trophy from the latest monster she's hunted (a vampire, appropriately enough) and they talk about her experiences as a rookie witcher.

If you gently caress up enough times Geralt wonders out loud the obvious solution, which should make short work of that ordeal. If that never happened it would be a lot worse, for sure though.

Weird graphics bug that made me laugh a bit. Dyed Manticore armor. The set is awesome but pretty ugly sadly.

Also I just finished Equine Phantoms. What a cool quest :)

Man it sucks you can't have Yen and Ciri, because I would qualify and I want the whole family hanging out there, CD Projekt. :colbert:

Actually I was playing on my HoS created save, cause I lost my main save. So I probably got Dandelion cause I didn't actually have any romance endings on that save.

It still took me a while because the first two rooms looked similar enough that I thought it was the same room and the correct portal had to be on the second level, because obviously I was advancing up the levels!

So I just got this for PC, and I play on a 2560x1440 monitor. However, the game apparently thinks the monitor is 1280xsomething. Scaling the resolution up just zooms in. The selected resolutions that fit the screen are playable but look like poo poo. Anybody here had this problem?

Edit: switching from borderless window to fullscreen fixed it.

Popping in to say Gaunter O'Dimm makes an appearance, in the quest La cage au fou

The lady is cursed because she didn't provide food to a beggar, in her diary she writes that she cannot recall the beggars name, only that he sold mirrors. When the curse was made the beggar broke his spoon, and when you finally bring her to Corvo Bianco you will hear Gaunter O Dimm's theme song playing. Really cool easter egg

So, I figured out why I can't recruit Triss. It's because I never did A Favor for Radovid because I fast-traveled away from Junior's estate after I killed him. Welp. And the :nexus:'s stance is,of course,"Too Bad,so Sad,gently caress you." Looks like I gotta start a brand new game,with no way to get my stuff back since they still haven't fixed the dev console or whatever. gently caress that. I guess I can start playing Doom. :sigh:
