Jerusalem posted:Welp just finished the game again.... already thinking about playing it again  You are not alone. I'm just doing stuff on Skellige before going to fetch Uma. I started a whole fresh game and I'm already wondering if I should NG+ it when I finish. Maybe Andromeda will save me when that's released in a month. Otherwise maybe we need to start Witchers Anonymous and instigate a 5 step programme.

I'm probably about to replay but I always go with Cat Style and Feline Armour, someone persuade me to do otherwise.

This latest playthrough I deliberately avoided getting the Witcher gear just so I could try out some of the many other armors that come with the game. The Nilfgaardian Armor set you can get from the Quartermaster at Crow's Perch is pretty nice and you can get a low level version or save it for late game (which I did):  The Redanian, Witch Hunter and Undvik armors are pretty good too.

An Alchemy build means you are drat near invincible and can wear whatever armour you like. I switch based on location and what level I am. Bear armour for Skellige is thematically appropriate. I'll build and wear Wolf when I get to Kaer Morhen. Maybe swish out in the Ofieri when hanging out with Olgierd and then maybe don some Manticore or even Viper when rolling around my vinyard. Basically, forget armour bonuses. Build a Geralt that can wear whatever rocks your style mood that day. Have fun, experiment and play Witcher dress up! (Don't forget the rear end ears and/or professor glasses!)

You could also install the appearance mod and just change your looks at whim, while wearing whatever suits your build.

During the Crookback Bog questline, is there any way to definitively establish the identity of the spirit below the tree before you choose whether or not to release it? So far my only clues are that it appeared three years ago, that some random NPC has been having dreams beckoning her to the tree, and a refugee east of Novigrad who speaks of a dead hero buried beneath it. There's another thing to be aware of: the crones are lying to you. They tell you the evil in the tree awoke as a result of the war, but the ealdorman of downwarren says three years. They want you to get rid of a problem for them that's been around much longer.

SirSamVimes posted:The only book that talks about the spirit in any detail also paints the Crones in a positive light so I'd take it with a grain of salt. What's wrong with the crones? They only demand a couple sacrifices once in a while and for that they provide protection and honest, american living.

unless people mention what difficulty they're playing on and whether or not they turned on upscaling there's absolutely no metric for comparing how hard encounters were between anecdotes

That difficulty spike is unreal You have to use grenades - Northern Winds or whatever. That was the first time I died in like 20 hours of playing the game. It was loving ridiculous. They pretty much instakilled me (well, like two hits) three or four times in a row. Grenades, Quen, and just Charge the mages first. It was such bullshit.

I really like the GM Wolven set, it's fancy enough not to make me stand out with all the Posh folks in B&W, but also looks like armor. I wish i had the Enhanced Feline so I could make the GM feline. That worked really well with my sword build, as it was all dodges and quick sword strokes.

I have bitched about this before, but considering he got a pitchfork in the belly, you would think Geralt would be very, very, conscientious about protecting that part of his body. Let alone witchers in general when monsters would take swipes with their claws at exactly that part of them. WoodrowSkillson fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Feb 20, 2017 |

It felt kinda like you upgraded swords too often in general. I swear I'd constantly be looking in my bag and realizing I was carrying two or three upgrades, because loot really wasn't a huge priority.

You can add slots to any sword without them if you have HoS, so there's no reason not to pimp out Aerondight since it's one of the best swords in the game. At the end I was still using it and the steel sword you get from the Ofieri guy in the Beauclair Gwent tournament.

When on earth is an open world game going to realize how much we doofus children love playing dress up with our avatars and put a spell or crafting component in the game that does "Has the statistics of the armor you like, but the cosmetic aspects of a different armor you like?" I want to dress my Fallout people like sitcom characters and put Geralt in a hippie robe, but still get my defensive bonuses.

I can't get the rear end ears because not letting ghostman win at Gwent and boast merrily about it would make me too sad, which is why I should be able to make a helmet which looks like them.
