B&W throws cash at you like crazy between the quest rewards and loot, so unless you need to craft all five grandmaster sets you'll be plenty rich without ever touching a smuggler cache.

Of course you need to craft all five sets. What sort of monster wouldn't?! I bet you kill sentient trolls, too :mad:

Yep. There was also the scene after Yennefer interrogates Skjall's corpse. If you say she needed to be more compassionate before asking if she's okay, she gets upset you didn't ask after her well being first. If you then ask if she's okay, she admits she's fine, but less so for having to remind you to ask.

There are some things I like about Yen and Geralt's relationship, but I can really see why some people have unkind things to say about her.

That is one of the things I love so much about the conversation system, it tracks what dialogue choices you do and then alters some lines if you ask them before or after other lines. It makes conversations flow much more naturally because it has Geralt slide into changing subjects, rather than abrupt shifts from topic to topic like in Mass Effect.

I had several oils I couldn't upgrade forever because I needed troll livers, and who kills trolls? Finally I came upon the farting ones, and they decided they wanted to eat me outright, but I still felt sad about it.

There are some permanently hostile and non-talking trolls around Skelige and even a sneakily hidden re-spawning one in south-eastern Velen, it replaces a bandit camp under a bridge after you clear it. If you don't know about it there's no reason to come there again.

poo poo where is this?

I think I remember finding a respawning auto-hostile troll in the northern Skellige island but it has been forever since I played so I cant remember the name of the island or the exact spot.

I killed the ones who were semi-holding the cobbler chap on my current 2nd run through, as I'm going down the alchemy route and needed troll livers. Sorry.

edit: I was told off by the cobbler (not Adam Sandler) by going "bleedin' bloody bloomin' 'ell, you didn't need to bleedin' bloody kill 'em!" if that makes it any more tolerable.

That pitchfork gets so many nods. I remember Geralt brings it up in a conversation about pride and ego with Lambert, there's a witcher trainee corpse with a pitchfork in it in Kaer Morhen, I think Gaetan got a pitchfork in the back, and at one point I think Geralt warns some people about the pitchforks coming out.

You can't. 'Return to' comes after Family Matters.

If you do the other quest that takes you to Crookback Bog before Family Matters, you don't know who Anna is so you just leave her there to look after the kids.

I don't know what happens if you do the Whispering Hillock before either though.

I'm going to second this. In a game full of emoting they absolutely nailed Geralt's expression and body language here. Even though you knew that surely she wasn't really dead, it was still an ohhhhhh....fuuuuck moment.

As far as awesome moments go, Geralt using igni flamethrower on the 2ic bad dude until his helmet melted to his face was just so :krad: I was almost out of my seat cheering. So satisfying.

My favorite thing about that scene is that it actually shows some decent cinematography. The wide angle shot with Geralt in the door, the close up of his slow footsteps, and the perspective shot in that gif are all excellent.

Hey guys, The Mantis here. Hope all is well.

Just wanted to let you know i bought this game and it's currently downloading. At 103 kb/s. Because j live in the :airquote:third world:airquote:. It's going to take about seven days.

But I've never played it before and I'm looking forward to it. Okay well see ya.

Hey, The Mantis. Wish I could have the experience of playing this game over again. Recommend you take a glance at the Before I Play for some general tips. One of the most important ones, imo: whenever you make a potion/oil/bomb with alchemy, you have a 'base' then prepared. You'll use alcohest or mahakam spirit to replenish these automatically when you meditate, without having to prepare that item out of constituent ingredients.

be thorough about searching for the best price for these things. The price for Mandrake Cordial, for example, can be about half of the usual if you find the right person to buy from.
