I gave up after Blood of Elves because the translation was awful and the story wasn't keeping my attention, but weirdly I thought The Last Wish was fine

So I don't know if it was fixed in some path or in B&W, but this expansion has now given me both the superior oils I was missing even after looting literally everything. Cursed and Dragonid if you care. Finally was the Countess quest in vanilla or HOS? Because I certainly had to give her the bad news.

GOTY Since this post I have finished the main game and HoS. That was probably the best RPG I've ever played. Gonna shelve B&W, save it for a quiet holiday or something. Anymore Witcher in the pipeline or was this the finale? Because I will blind pre-order whatever.

Do any of the characters ever comment on the fact that there are Gwent cards based on them, especially the ones you can play with like Dijkstra?

The only thing keeping him from going down like the last higher vampire I fought* was his giant bucket of HP. *used all my stamina on fire stream, then while he was burning I cut off his head with one swing  (I may have been over-leveled for that fight)

Do you mean the serial killer who attacked Dandelion's girlfriend? He also got housed. And for those that did it before Igni got nerfed it must have been a casual slaughter.

Alright, I just refinished the game from my Battle of Kaer Morhen save to get the ending I wanted; I haven't played either of the dlcs yet. I am at level 34 and Hearts of Stone is recommended at l32 and Blood and Wine is l34. Will I trivialize Blood and Wine with the levels I gain from Hearts of Stone, or does it scale to your level?

I'm pretty sure there's an option in the menus somewhere to make enemies scale up (but never down) to your level. So do HoS first (it's much shorter) and turn that on if you're breezing through everything.

There's a lot of flash-forward stuff in the last chronological book, although all I remember is that the guy with the goofy accent is the next emperor of Nilfgaard (it's suggested in the game that he might be arranged to be Ciri's consort), and that Philippa Eilhart is eventually tortured to death by witch hunters, and is remembered as a martyr.

Just did the Eye for an Eye quest, and in the immediate aftermath it seems that village life has returned to normal pretty fast, complete with children playing and frolicking around Nilfgaard corpses. Strong kids too: one of them is splashing around in a - presumably blood and poo poo filled - puddle one of the corpses is lying in, and swatting the body around like its made of paper.

Let the record show that he was in fact the one that was, saved. I hate this too. This particular instance isn't that bad, because Detlaff doesn't actually harm Geralt at all during the cutscene, you might even be able to argue that Geralt would have been able to react in time or something idk. Far worse was fighting Dethmold in W2, beating him, only for a cutscene to happen where he knocks Geralt unconscious by waving his hands and summoning some fire. Also, cleared B&W: I got the bad ending. I figured I would. The game practically loving begs you to have Syanna and Detlaff talk things out. But I *really* *really* wanted to see what the Unseen was all about and I wasn't disappointed at all. Those quests were loving cool. I at least figured that since I did the investigating that I would save the Duchess, but apparently having proof in the form of a letter that spells out a horrific death for the Duchess wasn't enough to convince her Syanna was trying to kill her. Anyway I have a save point at the exact spot you make the decision to take one path or the other so I think I'll try the other tomorrow. Finally, this game loving owns. The expansions both own. It's just really really good and I'm sort of upset that no matter what I say I can't get some of my friends to play it. Ugh. Well done CDPR.

Bob NewSCART posted:I've heard that there are some talents that you shouldn't take because they don't function properly, have these all been patched or is there any thing I should steer clear of spending points on? I'm pretty sure that Hunter's Instinct, the crit damage talent at the end of the oil line in alchemy, doesn't work. I have five points in it and never notice that my crit damage increases once my adrenaline is full. Apparently it hasn't ever worked since the game was released. Fleet footed seems to do nothing. You get so many iFrames on dodges anyway that you'll almost never take damage mid dodge. I've seen people report recently that flood of anger doesn't work, but that might be because rage management still causes it to break.

I've found on deathmarch that enemies are still a challenge, but not unbeatable. Except for one pair of Slyzards in Toussaint that keep kicking my rear end. It's a Slyzard matriarch and wounded slyzard, and the pair is just killing me even with superior draconid oil. Beastiary says Aard works best against slyzards, but I am having a bitch of a time killing them. Any tips?

Aard is mostly good for knocking them out of the air, I wouldn't bother with it on the ground (unless you have the aard freeze mutation, in which case aard always owns). Keep quen up as much as you can and maybe try yrden? I play on a lower difficulty so I didn't need more than quen, oil, and lots of rolling but anything that can slow them down is going to be incredibly useful. I don't know if or how well yrden and northern wind work, but I'd suggest trying them out.

Is it still recommended to only do some of the sidequests to avoid being overlevelled, or does the enemy upscaling option make it alright to do them all? I'm not far in but the quests I've done are very good and I'd hate to miss any amazing ones because I'm at a higher level than is suggested.

I'm trying to work my way through the Novigrad quests but they seem to mostly be about level 10-14, and I've been level 18+ for all of them, which has destroyed any sense of challenge (still enjoying the story for the most part, though). Very easy to get sidetracked in this game.

I tend to set dudes on fire with a cluster Dancing Star and let them burn to death while picking my hits. If you're immune to bomb effects on top due to that perk, you can just dance in and out of the fire and fight with impunity.

It's great that unlike in your standard game dialogue event, he _will_ murder you if you don't stop wasting his time and ask more questions after he says "okay, one question". You know, in every other game his threats wouldn't mean anything and he'd just repeat the same thing until you exhaust the dialogue options.

Just turn level scaling on so they remain a challenge and do them anyway, you weren't going to get much XP or "tangible" rewards for doing them at-level so what does it matter?

There's one that adds a card merchant who sells any cards you don't currently have, especially handy as there's some you can't get if you missed the specific NPC you need to play for them.
