I finished everything today and now I'm sad. I hope their next game is even half as engaging as The Witcher

I played this for a while when it came out and got to Novigrad (I think I was looking for Dandelion?) and stopped for some reason and never played again .... reinstalled today and decided to just start a fresh save and I'm really getting into it.... also I never touched Gwent the first time around but now it's starting to click for me and it's great. The interface improvements they patched in with the inventory and stuff are a godsend too because that poo poo was miserable at launch. Oh yeah is there any reason to buy the DLC now or should I just wait until endgame? I know the second expansion takes place in a totally new location but I think I remember hearing that the first one is mostly stuff in Novigrad; is it like Souls or Bloodborne where it gets integrated into the main story or is it its own thing that I won't be messing with until the end of the campaign?

Lunchmeat Larry posted:nah wait until the end. The second expansion is 99% officially set after the main story and the first one is, uh, whenever, but imo still makes more sense played afterwards Yeah, I agree - I think other people say that they always play HoS during the main story, but I think it's better to be left until afterwards, when you aren't also dealing with a heap of other poo poo like getting Dandelion out of yet another mess. (Plus it allows you to focus entirely on the HoS story, and I think it's better that way, rather than splitting it with the main plot) Otherwise yeah, BaW is definitely after the main story and HoS, as it paves the way for Geralt's eventual retirement.

cool, thank you for the heads up. is there anything cool/missable in white orchard that i need to do before killing the griffin? iirc i'm pretty sure you can come back afterwards, i just don't remember if beating the boss locks you out of any side quests

The trigger for leaving White Orchard is speaking to Vesemir in the inn after going to the Nilfgaardian garrison for a reward.

Lol I love what a big dope Geralt is... the convo with the hunter who's implying he's gay where Geralt thinks he's talking about being a werewolf is really funny

the most important gameplay tip is to ALWAYS let Geralt get as hammered as possible, especially if one of the magic girlfriends is like "seriously don't get as hammered as possible, Geralt."

The section where you can turn down sex in favor of getting way too drunk with your buddies, and then dress up as a lady and magically prank call sorceresses so they will come and party with you is the best part of any game ever made. Geralt's voice actor does fantastically in all of the weird situations he gets forced into.

If you're with old timee college bros and some magical ex girlfriend is like "yo don't get TOO hammered I wanna bone" and you DON'T turn down the vague sex possibility to remember old times then I don't know what the gently caress is wrong with you now replace "old timee college bros" with "grew up as forsaken orphans who were like 1 of 400 babies badass enough to not just totally die from pain when the most poison as gently caress posion got mainlined into your baby rear end veins just to see, even knowing that you are a literal baby, if you were a bad enough dude to be a PROTAGONIST in this Witcher poo poo." If you mediate on this post pretty hard, then you will BEGIN to understand why Geralt needs to get REALLY hammered with his friends at all costs.

This game is so freaking good ... i was worried about getting burnt out replaying all the Velen stuff but honestly most of the side quests I'm doing are ones I didn't even know existed my first time through.

The one that increases your toxicity cap depending on how many recipes you know is great if you keep up with it. Alchemy is prolly the funnest tree but it's also the most effort.

I haven't touched alchemy at all. I put points into all the fast attacks and quen, axii and yrden plus the stuff that gives you a boost if you wear feline stuff

yeah apparently alchemy is gamebreakingly good at higher levels but the descriptions of all the skills were a bit too abstract for me to bother with lol

A lot of it hinges on the Blood and Wine mutation that gives you .75% extra damage per point of toxicity, so you raise your cap super high, chug a grab bag of decoctions and pwn everything in sight.

Should I do a replay in NG+ or is it better to start a new game? I'm wondering if its significantly harder as in it's not just vanilla enemies with more hp.

Why does the voice actor for vesemir sound so similar to the Bard, Dandelion. For the first 25 hours I thought they were the same person and was like, oh cool this guy is my buddy and will write about me but then, oh well

The play questline in Novigrad is really funny. Definitely making an effort here to put on the worst show possible like some hosed up bastardization of the FF6 opera scene
