Nycticeius posted:What scene? The one you get when the Nilfgaardian commander orders the ealdorman flogged? Or is it a scene in the huge Nilf camp SW of Velen? In the Nilf camp in (SE  ) Velen if you run around you'll run into the fiancée of the woman you saved in white orchard with the swallow. She sleeps most of the day, recognizes no one and says nothing. Geralt says "I wanted (herbalist) that witcher potions can have bad side effects". He suggests the dude find a Mage.  I think he's right by the ! quest just outside the camp where the noblewoman has you find her son.

Is it possible to use modding tools to add items to a merchant's inventory? I'd like to, if possible, make a mod to add the doppler and succubus mutagens to the inventory of the master alchemy trainer, since the only way to get those decoctions otherwise is to be an rear end in a top hat and kill off otherwise non-hostile creatures. The troll mutagen, at least, can be acquired from the naturally hostile ice trolls.

Only reason trolls should be killed is when they're rabid or too stupid for society. Sort of like dogs.

The doppler was a kleptomaniac and the succubus probably had herpes, playing it safe there. Now their precious mutagens are mine.

At any point in Blood and Wine do you need a strong Gwent deck? I like the game but I didn't have my old save so I started from the pre-built one and don't really want to grind out a deck again if it isn't needed.

It took a bit of grappling with the tools (it's been a long time since I've had to wrangle a command prompt) but I made my Buyable Doppler and Succubus Mutagens mod. I ended up giving them to the halfling herbalist in Novigrad, so that you'd get them at around the same time as if you murdered those poor creatures. Literally the first mod I've ever made.

Not really, though the gwent content basically has you collecting cards for and then building a deck with Skellige cards. So it's good to have strong supporting cards to win the games to get them and the subsequent tourney.

I love the fact that the trolls are also apparently excellent artists. They also have some culinary skill (I guess). They marinate the one guy before cooking him which was funny to me.

I just got to the Lady of the Lake, and the Hermit told me I have all 5 virtues. A bug, or did I just complete the relevant quests at some point? Really love how the various caves you clear in B&W actually have new furnishings and stuff as a result. Wonder why some of the expansion stuff wasn't backported into the main game. Why are the first boars I've ever seen level 30+? Why not have some of the B&W foods and junk present in fancier Novigrad homes?

You just did a virtue at some point. They're not quests, just little flags for some choices throughout the expansion.

Hey Xander, people were pretty good about not spoiling the main game during your playthrough, it'd be cool if you could do the same with the DLC. Some of us haven't gotten around to them yet. Just put it under a tag!

I don't remember how it works with Stepjan, but if you simply can't beat the Baron if you advance to the end of his questline then regardless of what ending you get for it I'm pretty sure his unique card will be lying around in his room at the keep and you can just pick it up.

Took off Geralt's cloths to get into Dr Moreau's machine, and his hair was removed along the way. Sadly, only in the inventory screen.  Wasn't sure if this woman was supposed to be in the barrel, but a quick threat got her to hop out.     Roach has finally done it. He finally got us into a pose that required a reload.

What a bummer. Even with manticore armor, bombs barely did anything in the final quests of the main game. Since I was 10-15 levels higher than the enemies I thought that grapeshot would crit the heck out of the final bosses but nope. Instead just smashed them with euphoria. The best part about this alchemy build though is chucking poison bombs then standing in the poison with golden oriole for extra healing. Makes water hag decoction even stronger. As to gwent , I've shockingly lost a few games in touissant to randoms. Some have had 3 scorches + villen come out which is insane vs my northern realms deck that's pretty much all tight bond.

Kind of bummed by the fact that since I enjoy exploring and doing side quests and seeing the world so much I'm so loving overleveled for the actual "main" story-line quests and their branches. Doing a level 12 "Redenia's Most Wanted" quest while I just hit level 18 is BLEh. Good thing the writing and environment and everything else is perfect and keeps me going.

It's designed for more than one playthrough. You aren't supposed to be able to do all the quests without being over leveled.

He also said he leaves the game running 24/7, even while he sleeps, alt tabbing out when not playing. Bugs tend to appear and pile up over time, by not quitting and reloading they can stack up and start getting weird.
