i can't stop playing this game every free moment i have, i will play for a long time and be like "i need a break" but as soon as i have another chance to play i want to keep playing. i usually suffer from video game burnout fast but there's just so much here. i haven't even touched battlefield 1 lately which i love. i tried to play it a moment ago but i was like "drat i suck now" and "i want to play more of the witcher" it's consuming meeeeeeeeee also i love gwent

For the first time I reloaded a save after a quest path split. During the conversation with Keira during 'For the Advancement of Learning', some dialogue option says something fairly innocuous like "I can't let you go" but for some reason it breaks out into a battle and forces you to kill her. I went back and managed to talk her out of the notes and let her leave. It seemed strange to me that Geralt would be so miffed about being tricked, or that deception was even necessary at all. Why didn't Keira just ask Geralt "bring me the notes pretty please" as long as he was going to the tower and just tell him it was so she could find a cure. In a game with a lot of good writing, this questline seemed really confusing to me.

She knows that Geralt knows that the notes are basically a documentation of a bio-weapons program, And Geralt, while he claims to be a neutral character, would never allow her to have them.

I got some poo poo on another board for killing Keira but I told her to hand over the germ warfare notes and she attacked me, nothing I could do. I'm sure I didn't see a friendlier "please hand me the notes" option or I'd have taken that. Maybe you only get it under certain circumstances.

I'm sure you always get it, but it may not be obvious, I don't remember for sure? The key is not to argue the morality of passing on those papers, it's to remind her that Radovid is going to kill her even if she presents him with an offering. Which makes sense, she has no reson to relent just because you asked nicely, but she is liable to give up upo realizing she can't restore her life as a luxury-surrounded court sorceress, which has been her sole motivation all alogn.

Yea that makes sense. Just caught me by surprise since it seemed they were on good terms, and the dialogue option didn't seem like it would escalate to violence. My roleplaying choice would have been to try and get the notes back without killing her.

On the other hand the notes aren't for a bio-weapon, but unethically obtained medical research.

I don't see any reason not to just send her to Kaer Moren. She gets to work on the mage's notes in the safety of the Withcer's castle and hang out with Triss and Yen when they all get back there, plus there's tons of eligible Witcher bachelors to get to know.

And Geralt specifically says "Radovid doesn't care about curing the plague, he cares about winning the war" and iirc Keira didn't seem too opposed to that prospect. though of course it's moot because I saw a very graphic screenshot which indicates that if you let her go Radovid isn't particularly interested in hearing her out.

Keep moving around, try not to strike more than twice in a row without moving around. Try to focus on one at the time.

I think there are three paintings you can bring in - Hemfart, Iris and Olgierd, and Starry Night from the Auction House in HoS. The B&W merchant sold paintings are found all at the item shop next to the grandmaster armourer.

I like this game best when it goes just off the rails enough that I don't know how a scene is going to go The basic strength of the game is in its dialogue. The writing is great and genuinely emotional, the animations and costumes deliver the lines well. The writing is also very self-aware and makes a habit of subverting RGP tropes. All told, you really need to do every last single side-quest and just take it easy and slow. This is an enormous game with a ton of non-repetitive content, easily 100+ hours for the base game. Skip the exploration in Skellige, honestly, but every last quest is a unique and interesting experience. The biggest mistake Witcher 3 made was to have an XP/leveling system at all because that shouldn't matter. Just do whatever quests seem cool and fun, completely ignore the XP or loot rewards because they don't loving matter. e: just to emphasize, this is the most truly "immersive" and realistic RPG I've played, and probably the best game I've played period. Abandon thoughts of min/max builds, farming XP, and so on. That poo poo doesn't matter, go play through some stories. That's what this game is about. Go participate in these fantastically directed, written, and animated stories. This game puts the Role-Play in RPG more than any other game I've played and I started in the early 1990s with Oregon Trail and Commander Keen.

I'm still playing through B&W and I went to a barber and at the screen where you choose your haircut there was an option to play Gwent. So you have Geralt sitting half-naked with a towel on his shoulders already and everything and the barber is ready to go behind him with scissors in his hand and Geralt goes "would you like to play Gwent?". I must say this was the most ridiculous "would you like to play Gwent" scene I've encountered, I didn't even know that barbers coul play. Also I got mustache and a soul patch to blend with the French better.
