Supreme Allah posted:That's the whole reason I love this game, you sometimes make 'wrong' choices and the ramifications are often not what you expected at the time. Would you tell someone the right or wrong choice at choosing between the tree spirit or the crones? I agree, literally the only choices I suggested making for a player were not shoving (assassination plot) and doing the HoS wedding quest by losing a card game to the halflings immediately at the wedding in HoS. Maybe those are sacrosanct stuff I should spoiler, but I only mention them because they're not the obvious options. Witcher gives you numerous options to be a ruthless shitbag or whatever, those few in particular are not what they might seem. in this case, the non-obvious actions are the "best," so I suggest them without actually detailing their consequences lose to the halflings at the HoS wedding and see what happens, I dare you  rear end

Digirat posted:Hey person who started the game, here's some spoilers! Here you go! While I agree with your post for the most part, the assassination one is something I'm glad I asked about when I played and got spoiled for. It would be a shame to gently caress that up. And unlike the other choices it isn't at all clear what Geralt is actually gonna do there. That said once it happens it's easy enough to reload I guess. Also I'm now replaying on death march. Finding all the oils and bombs I want is kind of a pain. edit: Spoiling the other things is pretty pointless and annoying though. Who wouldn't make the obvious choice for the drinking night? All telling someone about that spoils is the existence of it which is a nice surprise (and it's on the main path so it can't even be missed).

I don't understand this justification where X has been out for "insert time here" therefore spoiler tags stop being used. It's like people can't comprehend that a person doesn't buy the game or see the movie immediately after it's released and it's their own darned fault if things are spoiled for them. I've only just picked up this game and it's been nice seeing that most of the posters here are still pretty mindful to hide anything that could be considered a spoiler.

Hmm. Well, since I only have lovely cards I started with, I'll have to see when I get more. Like right now my spy is likely to draw me lovely 1 power guys which does not make up for the stuff I gave my opponent

Yeah, there's a difference between small actions having unintended consequences and what the game says you're going to do being vastly different from what you actually do. Witcher 2 had a few bits where a simple choice of "no" would result in Geralt going on a gently caress you frenzy - I got flashbacks to that playing LA Noire.

Any tips for levelling up Aerondight? I'm not sure if everyone's dying before I get enough charges or what, but it's falling behind my level.

Gwent for idiots like me. Buy every card from listed merchants. The Harviken innkeeper only appears after meditating. Another merchant dies in a side-quest so do this early. Win cards from no-name merchants. You can win a random card from a fixed pool from each merchant once until the pool is exhausted. I missed playing the Downwarren merchant because he got hanged for some reason but I didn't lose out any cards. As long as the collect Em All quest is active you cant fail it. One slight error in the Gwent book. The White Orchard Scholar's card is found at Hangman's tree if you dont beat him in the prologue. I found a card as loot in Following the Thread. You can forgo playing some dudes as they may die or disappear due the plot. Their card drop will be in a quest-marked location. You can choose to sell the Cards found in A Dangerous Game if you're a bigger idiot. The cards can be found in a late story mission. Stick to using the 3 spies found in the Northern and Nilfgaard decks if you want the easiest ride. Commanders horn, Decoy and Scorch are invaluable for their synergy. Using spies, try to get the opponent to exhaust most of their hand before they pass. You may need to lose a round to do so. Hold off on doing A Matter of Life and Death until you get a better deck. This may stink if you're close to doing the Isle of Mists. Don't do High Stakes until you're above level 30. Use no more cards than you have to. 22 normal cards, 10 Special cards.

Find something numerous and weak, like pixies in Land of Thousand Fables or drowners. If you land perfect Whirl, you'll have killed most of them and taking out the last stragglers for permanent power is relatively easy. Other option is slow but durable, like golems.

sebmojo posted:'don't do all the ?'s in Skellige unless you are literally autistic and hate fun' is like the #1 quality of life tip in this thread. I guess I'm "literally autistic and hate fun". EDIT: lol at this being called autistic right as people had a huge meltdown over minor "spoilers" in a year old game. The most "major" one was dont shove Dijkstra and people have directly said several times "don't shove a person when given the option" in this thread not sure why people were so mad about it this time.

My character in The Wild Hunt is only level 20, grew tired of the game on Skellige last year but I'm interested in playing the expansions. Is there a really quick way to level/cheat my way to the 30s? Would I miss out on anything by just starting a new character for the expansions? And is it recommended to have finished the story in W3 before playing them?

PirateBob posted:My character in The Wild Hunt is only level 20, grew tired of the game on Skellige last year but I'm interested in playing the expansions. There's an option when starting a new game to have an expansion only character, provided you have at least one of the expansions, natch. There's some dialogue differences depending how how far along, or what choices were made in the main plot but nothing major.

The "quickest" way to level in the game is the quests, particularly story quests. Some of the PoIs give great XP. The abandoned villages are like 150 XP for liberating. Mobs give near none, so that's a different thing from RPGs.

Your not even halfway through the story (though kinda close). IIRC the quest after that one is considered the halfway point and you get a boatload of levels at the halfway point quests.

The dialog, characters and world as a whole is great, but the game play proper re:combat and getting to dat fukken quest marker doesn't really change from what you experienced in White Orchard, ever. Part of this is simply because dodge is actually kind of broken and you should do it all the time.

If you follow the main quest it will dump tons of levels on you and there is some very cool stuff coming up. Like JetsGuy said you're about halfway through the main plot and game overall depending on how much side questing you've done.

The point of no return is at the beginning of act three. You get locked into about five hours of main story but then it opens up again.

Where are you supposed to get the bulk of your experience early game? I did like 5 sub quest and all the story stuff up to helping the bloody baron and I'm still only level 5 with most quests being from level 10 and up.
