Get Junior is way more interesting if you don't go with Cleaver's men. Too bad I messed up the casino part and had to just kill everyone right away. EDIT: Just noticed his men are called henchdwarves. RatHat fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Jun 25, 2016 |

Hearts of stone question: On the way to the herbalists hut near oxenfurt I triggered a cut scene with a big boar who was injured and geralt said something about tracking it because it seemed like a hunt gone wrong but I couldn't find anything. Is it linked to the people banging on the herbalists door?

Runewright question Just got the runewright quest and I'm only level 14, but it seems like it doesn't have any combat in it. If I do it will I even be able to use the runewords at my level? EDIT: It costs 30k to get this guy to max level and then 2k each runeword?! Do the expansions give you a ton of gold or something? I don't see how I'd get that much money without grinding or an exploit. RatHat fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Jun 25, 2016 |

Loot every corpse you create, sell their weapons and armour to the armourer in Heirarch Sq in Novigrad, hey presto. That'll keep you at 50,000+ all game long even if you craft every Witcher set and upgrade them.

Speaking of selling stuff, who should I be selling miscellaneous valuables (jewelry, etc) to? I usually just sold them to random merchants until I ran out of shiny things or they ran out of gold but I'm sure there's a vendor or type of vendor out there that gives the best prices for them.

I decided to try the Piercing Cold mutation. First, I think the additional dmg is bugged? It doesn't seem to happen. Second, I ran into 4 rotfiends and instictively Aarded. RIP Geralt. Also the double cast from grandmaster griffin makes it even more hilarious. Xarn fucked around with this message at 09:45 on Jun 25, 2016 |

I'm stuck at level 26 and can't find any level-appropriate stuff to do before swinging to the dlcs. Any good questlines I can find around that range? Everythings just skull-named monsters, fallen knights and poo poo-tier stuff I missed before.

Okay, really dumb question; in Velen, if you open the world map and look in the lower-left hand corner, you have the Byways fast travel point, then north about 300m and a little to the east there are three question marks in a very tight triangle. One of them is a noonwraith guarding a hidden treasure, but it looks like the other two are underground somewhere; how the heck do I reach them, is there a cave I'm not seeing nearby?

It's probably the place of power and guarded treasure at the very end of the dungeon - on the same branch-off where you went to get the magic lamp. You must have turned back instead of following the passages to the end during that bit.

Just started a playthrough. The game told me it's going to simulate a save game of TW2, even though I'm pretty sure I have one on this computer. How do I find it, and how do I make the game find it? The mouse cursor feels really float / laggy in menus. A way to fix this? In game impression news, I read the novels and played the previous games, so obviously the game’s attempt to summarize things for newcomers feels a bit unnecessary, but seriously – it takes the form of a preacher sermonizing fire and brimstone at a peasant crowd, and is really bad as a sermon, and not that good as a lore dump. Edit - Haha, is Geralt's medallion supposed to vibrate when Yennifer goes "You've known many [women]"? Xander77 fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Jun 25, 2016 |

What are all the triggers for the amulet vibrating? I feel like it's done so when I'm looting gear and also riding over map, but I didn't see any places of power.

You need to shove your saved game into C:\Users\your name\Documents\Witcher 2\gamesaves then when you start a new game you should get the option to just use that.

Impressions: First active use of the jump key – leapt over the balcony of my castle room, to my death. Ok, but seriously – dropping the tiniest distance kills me on the spot. Shades of Call of Juarez Gunslinger. The game comes with artbook and map pdfs in different languages. Several GB of totally extraneous space-wasting nonsense. Wonder what else I can / should delete. The tutorial messages actually stop the game until you click them away. Annoying. Decided to fight a Nilfgaardian soldier, and got two-shotted. I’m fine with elite/skull enemies being extremely dangerous, but them being hitpoint sponges is less ok. I slashed that fucker a dozen times, and barely took off a quarter of his healthbar. Interesting how the games reminds you of what you were doing when you reload. Really should be kept to one reload per hour though.

You shouldn't ever be fighting 'skull' enemies, that means they're so far above your level that you need to get away. This also applies to guards, you're not really meant to be going on a crime spree.

Xander77 posted:Is there a way to change VA's on the fly, without changing your steam language? I see text options under "Language", but not voice options. Wait, you want the game to remind you what to do only once per hour.. or you only want to be able to reload once per hour? Also the tutorials are generally pretty wordy so having them stop the game was probably the only way they could ensure players with short attention spans would actually read them and not be like "the game never toooold me!" hours later when they can't figure something out.

Verranicus posted:Wait, you want the game to remind you what to do only once per hour.. I think some of the promotional materials touted something like an organic world - you clear the monsters in a location, and people will be naturally attracted to it. What that actually means is apparently a cutscen, and a bunch of NPCs spawning in.

Xander77 posted:Yes. I'd rather it didn't, but I can see the point - not constantly though. There is a lot of other stuff that feels pretty organic with the world-building, the abandoned locations you can clear out are one example. You can fight skull monsters, they're just huge sacks of HP so it will take longer. You're really not supposed to fight guards though. Keep in mind that the first ~5 hours of game in White Orchard is the tutorial zone. I think it's a well-done area, but it's fairly simple and there's not a lot of "depth" to it. Once you move on to Velen is when you'll get fully immersed in Peasant Misery Simulator. By the way, when you end White Orchard you'll have a conversation with a steward that allows you to simulate your Witcher 2 save. Mostly you tell him who lived and who died, the only character with significant content is Letho so definitely keep him alive. For better or worse there's not a lot of carryover from your actions in previous games to Witcher 3.

Weapons dropped by enemies are higher level so they sell for more.

I want to love it, but it seems like a really good relic sword or witcher sword will outclass it because of all the bonuses (sign intensity, crit chance and/or damage, etc) that Aerondight doesn't get. The base damage does stay competitive if you keep up your hit streaks, though.
