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:

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

Gaunter O Dimm also has a thing for spoons. He kills someone with one and is seen talking with them in hand like two or three times.

I have the ingame VSYNC turned off but I have it on in my NVIDIA Control Panel. I'll try turning that off and see what happens.

Man I've been scouring Beauclaire to find this artist I keep hearing exists but I haven't found him yet. I found two places with paintings on display but no painter. Google isn't helping. Does it activate after some other quest or something? I've only just finished the wine quest.

I also spent forever trying to find the Belles, only to learn that I can't give them my business?? They're the belles dang it, Geralt's got some ding dong needs >:[

I like bossy Anna H a bunch tho. I know it's unlikely but I sure hope Geralt gets to find out how bossy she is in the sack. Already know the lady likes to ride :kimchi:

I experienced a weird audio crackle twice, both times while in the midst of a giant battle with a Hanse (which are awesome fights) so I figured it was something to do with all the characters on-screen at once affecting something.

Jesus loving christ the final fight. Evening after dropping it down to "Just the Story" his one attack one shots you? With this games janky controls? Then after two minutes of loading on the PS4 the save is before the cutscene? And the second cutscene that happens after the first stage is unskippable? I'm approaching three minutes of waiting before I can retry figuring out the timing of the dodge of that one absurd move.

You might be a little underleveled/underequipped.

For me, first and third stages got completely chumped. The second one gave me some trouble, because my framerate drastically dropped every time he did that move, so for me it went
"okay, he is winding up, try to dodge"
*framedrop*
"welp, third of my life is gone, time to chug swallow and eat"

and in the end I got through by chugging raffards, white honeys and all that jazz. What almost got me was my silver sword getting close to disintegrating from the ending sequence without repairs.

Don't think so. Did all the available quests in both base game and both expansions beforehand, so I don't know how I'd be leveled higher? And Grandmaster gear. But it was dealing more damage for me than you, dunno why. If I had Quen up I'd still be left with 1/3rd of my health after getting hit. [Edit: Might be because I'm on NG+?]

Anyway, got it finally. Third phase was a joke, oddly enough. A Bad Fight.

I mean, aside from the one move in one fight, they are. Heh.

Anyway, that jank aside (Really hope finally getting combat controls and fight design to work smoothly is a top priority for Cyberpunk) it was pretty solid everywhere else. The size of most full games too, very cool.

I have a question about witcher lore, and the wikis, and in-game bestiary are pretty underserved for these kinds of questions.

Vampires are like the other sentient beings in this game, they showed up post-conjunction in this world? They aren't made from the living as in traditional vampire mythology? How do they propagate? Are the extant vampires all that there ever will be? Do they breed? Are they dead or alive?

These questions are better answered for vampires honestly, I have a sense and intuition about what the answers are, but I REALLY have questions about necrophages/corpse eaters- Are they actively created by some unseen force from the newly dead, or are they, like many post-conjunction things, creatures without a real niche, with their own breeding habits?

Ghouls and alghouls eat the freshly dead, and for a long time I assumed they were made from the freshly dead, but if they're being consumed by these creatures, what the gently caress is there left to animate? Why are recent battlefields just a buffet of a dozen corpsers when it seems like those conditions would be more prone to creating a zombie horde?

Yeah, vampires are post-conjunction. They must be propagating, since Regis is, I think, around 600 and the conjunction happened 1500 years before the events of the games and books. As far as I remember the specifics aren't really touched upon.

I just beat stepjan and it took a few tries mostly because i wasnt paying attention. I culled every useless card in northern realms down to the 22 minimum, and i stacked in all my horns, the ranged weather card(?) (stepjan favors ranged or melee- thwart the gently caress out of that whichever it is and lean on artillery) and it became a matter of getting a lucky draw plus with my spies and decoys managing to win the back and forth spy stealing minigame that sometimes happens in gwent. But i did win.

From what I understand, anything that can be hurt by silver is post-conjunction. Vampires definitely can breed, though I'm not sure if they breed themselves; vampires can make other people into vampires. There's a quest in Witcher 1 where you investigate a knight's sister in a brothel to find out she's been (willingly) turned into a vampire.

I think the stuff like necrophages, drowners, nekkers, etc. are all just weirdly humanoid-shaped monsters that breed on their own independent of human corpses, since they're affected by silver and thus a transdimensional being. It's probably just a bunch of superstitious hokum that makes people believe they're reanimated corpses instead of what they actually are, wild animals.
