The main cast animation is great, sure, but many incidental NPCs and quest givers have the usual bland fantasy rubberman look. Great also sometimes seems to be randomly moving his face about as if he'd double dropped. Edit: mods, please rename me to Bland Fantasy Rubberman, tia

I have a really horrible OCD tick on this game. I refuse to sell any slightly rare or above weapons / armour. I just stick it in my stash and never sell it or get rid of it. I'm only level 17, is armour / weapons at this stage that important, or can I just sell it all for a nice cash boost? I think it all started when I got rid of my griffin armour and then realised a few levels later I should have kept it for upgrades. I'm also hoarding a lot of those glyphs (the quen, igni, +10 armour piercing etc) in my inventory, waiting for the day when I learn to make them into greater glyphs. Is that worth it or should I sell those too?

Until expansions sell everything that doesn't have green background. Expansions have several unusual swords and armor sets worth to keep around as wall decoration.

insider posted:Oh gently caress. My wife just finished the game and I asked her what ending she got. She seemed confused so I asked her what happened to Ciri and she just said "What? She's gone I guess? I thought at the end the end there would be something about Yennefer too..." Then I realized she got the bad ending and don't know how to tell her without pissing her off

She says a lot of bad things to throw Geralt off balance though. Considering how even O'Dimm doesn't know where Ciri is because she's "hidden from his gaze", what can a random witch know about her fate on a different world?

It's kind of weird that the entire point of the choices that determine the ending is to 1) let Ciri know you, as the closest thing she has to a parent, trust her to make her trust herself, and 2) not let depression eat her up, but the final choice of what you say to her before she enters the portal/whatever doesn't have any impact.

One of the expansions.. Well, expands on the Glyph system and it helps to have a stock of them. Granted they're not super uncommon, but it's better than making more/buying them. Also, keep the duplicate monster mutagens. You'll thank yourself about partway through the other expansion.

Before the snowball/drink choice, you have an option to tell everyone that Ciri is an adult capable of making her own decisions, or say that she should just listen to Avallach. This doesn't matter at all, even though she's right there.

Sell glyphs and runes you're just not interested in, they're pretty good money. I went in the second expansion never selling them, then I unloaded it all and wound up with another 9k+ crowns.

Ok update for the thread. I didn't have the balls to tell her but she figured out she got the bad ending so she was able to revert her save and choose enough of the correct options to get the positive ending. Now she is happily onto Hearts of Stone. She agrees she is a bad dad though haha.

Aren't some of the options like 20 + hours from the end? Was she just pushing through the main story and nothing else?

Restrained Crown Posse posted:Aren't some of the options like 20 + hours from the end? Was she just pushing through the main story and nothing else? All of the choices are after The Battle of Kaer Morhen, so you can get through them in less than 4 hours without rushing. Also, going off on side adventures during the end-game feels pretty out of place and I got bored of side missions (+ most of them had grey level indicators by that point,) so I sort of just powered through the endgame from the point you find Ciri to the epilogue. One thing I did regret not doing, though, was murdering the gently caress out of Radovid, since I sort of figured his inquisition bullshit would turn into even more of a holocaust, but I didn't know that particular mission would become unavailable when you go to the Isle of Mist.

If you make one 'bad' early Ciri choice you can reload a save right before you go into Avallac'h's hideout. There are 2 more choices from that point. That's how I was able to play through every ending pretty fast.

Level 32, on quest Final Preparations. should I go do Heart of Stone or keep going through main storyline? I'd feel a bit odd leaving them hanging...

In Blood and Wine, Prof. Moreau's lab had had an intruder before Geralt, but nothing seems to come of that in the story or anything. There're just the clues along the path into the lab and then nothing. Did I miss something, or did they really just have those clues there without any sort of conclusion or anything??

I kinda wish the expansions would fit themselves to your level >35 once you initiate them. I did Blood and Wine at the recommended level, which means Hearts of Stone is much easier than it should be.

The fact that they added the ability to turn level scaling on and off is the sort of QoL decision that reminds me of all the little ways Witcher 3 completely trounces Bethesda games. Setting aside all the big, obvious ones.

Also higher level enemies in Witcher don't just turn into ridiculous bullet sponges, which is the main problem with Bethesda scaling.

It is! But personally I!d recommend playing it after the main plot and before Hearts, because then it feels a bit like Geralt's Mediterranean vacation between assignments.
