The cat school seems like the only school that might still be pumping out Witchers. At least they seem better off than the Wolf school.

Book Geralt screws himself out of about as much work as he actually gets paid for. I think his ratio of jobs he's paid for versus jobs he either fucks up hilariously or gets screwed by the client is about 50:50.

Shame there's no way to get it on PS4. Morvran Voorhis: Have you ever been so inebriated that you tattooed yourself? Geralt: ...yes, actually Tattoo suddenly appears Does anyone in W3 comment on it?

So how ere you supposed to access the tower with the wyvern on it for the Griffin gear quest? I ended up hopping directly at the drawbridge, landing on a tiny ledge, and sidling along until I found an unlikely wall to scrabble up and over. I couldn't find any other way up and my way seems unintentional.

Also you'll want to go back and find that underwater passage, because you also screwed yourself out of a circle of power.

And don't worry about the Drowners around the tunnel, the crossbow does huge amounts of damage when you're underwater.

I got a kick out of Geralt in the books. He's just such a grumbly dweeb, I can't help but like him for it. Geralt in the games is likeable too, he's just a fun dude who loves to play Gwent. I think he's balanced out by Dandelion constantly clowning on him and telling strangers embarrassing stories. Anyway, going through the game for the first time and I just finished clearing out all the Skellige Undiscovered Locations, except for the four or five that were too high level for me still or locked away by story progression. I hope Toussaint rises in quality again, because clearing out Skellige was WAY less fun than Velen. Just way too much empty water everywhere, and all the Undiscovered Locations out in the ocean were just the same thing over and over again. While in Velen I was praising this game for finally managing to make clearing out a map in a videogame fun, but boy did they drop the ball here. Still having fun with the quests though.

I'm half way through Novigrad (I think) and I still don't have enough Gwent cards to even use any deck but the Northern realms, despite hitting up every merchant/tavern I come across. seems lovely

Do only the Gwent quest and go to Skellige ASAP to be able to play other factions early. Alternatively, install this mod that adds all basic cards to the quartermaster in the Baron's castle (so cards that can only be won from generic merchants and such): http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1054/

He's a likable character - despite his best efforts to project being a morally apathetic social outcast, he just can't help being a decent dude that misses his batshit crazy girlfriend. And Dandelion just gives him endless poo poo for it.

Accordion Man posted:There's an underwater passageway in the ocean below. Yeah that ended up being my exit point, so I worked backwards. I still found the place of power but I found it by going around the cliff and swimming there before I ever found the underwater entrance.

I did the same thing: Somehow clamored my way up to the top, and then discovered the water entrance once I made my way down through the tower. VVVV I didn't know about the cave! redbackground fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Aug 17, 2016 |

You can jump up to the entrance unless they've changed the geometry, but it's easier to just go in through the cave

^^^ It's not TOO bad if you grind the devil's pit in Velen after completing blood and wine. Fast travel to the imperial palace then back, repeat. Slow motion and aim carefully. You can also Axii them. ^^^ The only achievement I have left is the "kill two contract monsters w/ no potions, oils, mutagens" thing. Now I can still have the skill tree things, just no r/g/b mutagens or B&W special mutagen selected, right? I think I did it properly with the NG+ griffin in white orchard. Figure the doppler is another trivial one.

Might not be worth sharing, but I found this moment amusing, it's when Geralt's witnessing the burning doppler when first arriving to Novigrad. Check out the background characters.

Xander77 posted:JFC. Use the White Frost Hound in the halfing beehive farm or something instead. That seems good too. Am I missing something with the doppler fight or are you just rightly calling any Geralt that would kill it a monster? It shouldn't have attacked! My NG+ Geralt makes nothing but horrible decisions, from getting a Lemmy to ending up in prison. I got my happily ever after my first playthrough, I figure that NG+ is just a non-canon victory lap.
