jim truds posted:It is a mix of a sense of duty and that there generally isn't another life for them to move into. The Witcher life is going to come back to haunt them. And I don't think every Witcher hates it. Geralt whines about it but it is sort of obvious he wouldn't want to do anything else. Geralt would be an excellent assassin, scout, or witch hunter if he weren't such a bleeding heart anti-establishment hippy type. Foltest has offered him a job repeatedly in books and games.

AHH I remember. I don't think I even really grasped the gravity that he left the path, I just wanted my sweet armor sets. Good gravy.

drat it's painful trying to build all the mastercrafted sets...I've got both Feline and Griffin done, but I'm out of basically everything. Hopefully there are a ton of materials in the expansions.

The main problem is that most of the stigma comes from the mutations, so even if they leave the path they'll still be spat on and hated.

How good is the bonus from Arachas Mutagen*? It sounds nice, but I don't know how big the bonus is supposed to be. * (Gives +damage and +damage resistance depending on how much weight you're carrying)

Hey CDPR, mind not making quests missable in your next game just because the player happens to be in somewhere in the vicinity and left? That's such a huge dick move.

All this talk of what actor should play him got me thinking... what relative age is Geralt meant to be? I know he's actually like 100-something, but has an extended lifetime due to the mutations. Would you say he's about in his 40's? 50's? The white hair always makes me think he's a lot older than he should be, but then you realize he's roughly the same age as Eskel who still looks fairly young.

So is there a place that lists all the non-notice board ! quests? I mean, I'm sure CDPR has a master list but I can't help but feel I missed a few as i got lazier about fast traveling as the game goes on. Some of them are listed in your secondary quests but it seems some of them aren't.

JetsGuy posted:Maybe it's a NG+ thing, but I have noticed that that poo poo sells for considerably more than it did my first playthrough. One of my few complaints about this game is how needlessly complex the crafting system is. While it's true that making stuff saves you money, it sometimes is so much work to figure out how to make it that it doesn't matter. For example, let's take enriched dimeritium plates. 1. I don't have an enriched dimeritium plate, so I need two enriched dimeritium ingots. 2. I don't have two enriched dimeritium ingots, but I see each can be made with two enriched dimeritium ore. 3. I don't have enriched dimeritium ore. To make that I need dimeritium oreand green gold ore. 4. I don't have green gold ore, but... At that point, I may very well have the base materials, but I honestly can't tell and can't really be bothered to follow the thread. It seems like half of the crafting supplies I so preciously hoard never come into use, and know which ones I will eventually use and which I can sell becomes just impossible to figure out. It's easier just to buy the plates in my opinion. That and the fact that there are some many things you can craft that are just absolutely useless. In making it rich and robust and realistic, it became so complex and not streamlined that it becomes cumbersome to use. I second selling EVERYTHING you find though. Loot and sell. Nearing the end of my New Game +, I'm at almost 200k gold. I've crafted about half of the Grandmaster gear already and just need to grab the diagrams for the last few. Money should really not be an issue if you're looting every bandit's sword.

Also big agreement on the crafting system being needlessly complex, I only dismantled a few things but it just seemed like a big timesink.

Unless there was another crafting alternative (like with many of the ores/ingots) that I missed. The only things I sell religiously are swords/armor I find off my foes. All alchemy/crafting poo poo stays in my inventory forever. I actually *spend* money breaking down the valuable junk.

drat the caretaker fight. I beat on him and danced around for a while, breaking my sword before I figured out what to do. (luckily you can use repair kits in battle) I noticed almost every attack he hit on me would heal him, so I abused rolling to just not get hit at all. Worked perfect I can be a little dense about game mechanics sometimes. In fact I'm sure there's more to it than that, especially with those little dudes he summoned.

Finally finished the main game and it pretty fantastic all around, but I felt there were some threads left dangling, just off the top of my head: The Baron and his daughter don't get a proper resolution to their story, Priscilla never gets out of the hospital and one of the crones stays alive with Ciri's medallion. I could probably think of more if I looked at the list of characters, but these are the ones that bothered me. Does any of this get a proper ending in the DLC's? On an unrelated note, is there any point to the Dragon's dream bomb? It just seems that since you need to get close and use Igni anyways, you might as well stick with Igni and not bother with a little extra bit of flammable gas.
