Seems weird that we're sending Ciri alone against the Crones in order to reserve Geralt for Just Some Elf. Pretty such the Crones are way more dangerous.

If the crones eat Ciri, big deal. But if the elves get her, welp.

There's a reason that the Crones are entertaining Imlerith. He's way out of their league, and the gifts he gives them are a major source of their power. That's why Geralt, arguably the greatest swordsman alive, is the one to fight him. Besides, Ciri can obviously handle the Crones now that she's not bleeding from the abdomen.

Just starting Blood and Wine at 39 and I feel like I need to redo my build...I have the potion for it, but I have no idea where to begin. I mostly use Feline gear, and more alchemy than signs. Any links/ideas? Hell, if nothing else I'm sitting on 15 unused points as it is.

I use the following (also at the start of blood and wine): All the strong / light attack skills maxed up till whirl and rend, Griffin techniques, cast signs with adrenaline, and the two green skills that poison your blade when using oils and the one that ups your toxicity when you learn recipes. I threw in max axii first skill for dialogue options as well. I think that caps out all the basic skill slots you have. I run with 1 green and 3 red mutagens. I wear full wolf gear with that. With light armor you can switch Griffin tech to cat tech I guess, doesn't change much.

I tried Rend and I just could not use it. By the time I've finished winding up they've hit me. Is it useful?

LIke when someone starts to wind up or you roll behind them, start pressing the button for rend immediately. I had no issues with it. It's not a "reactive" skill like whirlwind because of the wind up.

It synergises well with maxed out Quen as you can tank several hits while charging up a big hit with Rend, which is probably why the Ursine grandmaster bonuses are both focused on Quen (chance for a free Quen shield when yours shatters and a 200% increase in Quen damage) edit: full grandmaster Ursine, get the sword rune that increases the reach of Rend, get the armour rune that gives you a free Quen on entering battle, pop the superior version of Tawny Owl, and go have some fun with the Hanse bases in B&W. kim jong-illin fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Aug 13, 2016 |

Rend is best used after a couple of fast hits stagers them back, it's incredibly satisfying timing it just right as they recover and attempt to attack again. Also it cleaves through the shields that some guys have, which is helluva useful. In other news, I just respecced to try getting a bit more out of my decoction collection and it's all kinds of fun. Within a couple of seconds of any fight I'll have about 6 or 7 on the go at once.

Been working on a mini-mod to rephrase some of TW3's poorly-paraphrased dialogue options. The game generally does an excellent job of paraphrasing what Geralt is going to say/do, with a couple notable exceptions - that one late game quest where one option simply reads "shove someone down" is the big offender, you know the one. Now, a few simple tweaks have rendered that same misleading option much more clearly. I plan on going through the game and rephrasing the few dialogue options that are misleading like that and releasing it as a mod. However, while I can think of several other bad paraphrases off the top of my head, I figured I'd open it up to suggestions for ones that should be included and rephrased. Little or big, it doesn't matter - they don't all have to be as consequence heavy as the aforementioned "shoving" paraphrase. So if you folks have other misleading paraphases in mind, let me know. I don't want to clutter up the thread with it (unless you're all OK with that), so I guess just send me a PM or hit me up on Twitter.

Am I supposed to gain 32 (!!) levels during the initial conversation cutscene that kicks off Blood and Wine ? I went into the conversation with a lvl. 40 Gerald having finished the main quest and HoS. I re-specced just before setting off to start BaW, but I spent all the points and was good-to-go. Is there some way to de-level, or should I try going back to an earlier save and replaying the beginning of BaW ?

Sounds like you may have used the default save instead of your own. If not, enjoy your levels.

Thats the way i feel about how money is handled in this game. Geralt will barter and bitch over 30 crowns, but doesnt think twice about spending 30,000 just to get accese to mediocre rune upgrades.

redbackground posted:Guessing how you think a dialogue path will go and how it sometimes doesn't is all part of the fun I get the appeal of not knowing exactly what will happen from your dialogue choices, sure. But I'd argue that you need to have a very good idea of what each one means before it crosses the line from "cool surprise" to "what the hell I didn't want Geralt to do that". As I said, TW3 generally does a good job of this, but the sheer number of times I've seen warnings about that dialogue choice in guides and conversations about the game was the impetus for tinkering around with the game's text, and I do think there are a few areas where the phrasing could be made clearer. However, I'll concede that I may have made it a bit too obvious. What about phrasing it as something like "Attack Dijkstra"? Then there'd be no question that you're not just shoving the man aside and are crossing over into "grievous harm" territory, but you wouldn't know the details. Anyways, I don't want to get too hung up on that one dialogue choice - I said there were a few other options that needed tweaking (telling Ciri "Relax, you can't be good at everything." translating to "eh whatever walk it off" strikes me as another; likewise with "Calm down." in Avellac'h's lab) and I wanted to open it up to input. However, if you folks don't really think such a mod is necessary, then I won't waste any more of your time. Cirosan fucked around with this message at 09:50 on Aug 14, 2016 |

Has anyone been experiencing a crash since 1.22 came out? I'm not using any mods etc and the game has always run fine when I played around half a year ago. I can play for about half an hour and then the thing completely freezes, other than the audio, which will play sounds as if the controls are still being received. Drivers etc are up to date.

Does anyone have any tips on running a good Scoia'tael or Monsters deck? I end up falling back to my Northern Realms one as I can't find a strategy that's as reliably effective as spies/decoys/medics.

I think that problem was related to the Nvidia streaming service, which is active regardless of whether you actually have a device that uses it or not. Try stopping the service and seeing if that helps with the crashes.

If that doesn't work change your card's power management to 'prefer maximum performance' and also change from borderless window to fullscreen.

I end up falling back to my Northern Realms one as I can't find a strategy that's as reliably effective as spies/decoys/medics. Having a bigger hand trumps all strategies basically, so yeah, Nilfgaard/Northern Realms will always be the best. A bigger hand gives you more moves so you can react to the enemy and save cards for later, and also more cards=more creatures=more damage. The only cards that can do the same for Monsters/Scoia'tael are the muster cards. They are very vulnerable to scorch though, so try to bait that out before playing your muster cards. Monsters are better at mustering, but Scoia'tael have more flexibility and medics. My advice for monsters: - Put in all hero cards, especially yen, avallach, geralt n ciri - decoy, scorch and champ horn are important - I would take clear weather over other weather cards - use the leader that can play weather cards from the deck, after that fog is p. good - put in vampire, crones, arachas muster sets - dandelion & Villentretenmerth are good - keep your deck as small as possible don't forget you can play a strong card in the first round even when planning to lose to keep him around (faction ability).

So, I've completed all the Gwent quests, as well as the tournament. Miraculous Guide to Gwent says I've gotten all the cards in Velez, Novigrad, and Snelling, but there are still 20 cards that can be won from other Gwent players. Do I just have to go play 20 randoms? Just trying to Collect Em All!

I would suggest using a guide! You need to buy some, win some from certain named NPC's, but also a pool from generic merchants. https://www.vg247.com/2015/05/29/the-witcher-3-how-to-get-every-gwent-card-collect-em-all/

As long as you are getting cards, you're not done. There are a finite amount of copies of each card in the world.
