Somebody explain merchants to me because their prices are insanely weird for both buying and selling.

If you have to just tell me the best merchants for each class of item.

I'm using Hanzo and the journeyman armorer in Novigrad for gear. Where do I sell crafting stuff and junk. Innkeepers?

Cheapest Runes I've found are from the skelligrade druid from the master alchemy quest. Also, what's the point of that quest, just that he sells re-spec potions?

Rerun script merger? It may still have the scripts baked in.

I run it, but nothing shows up. It just detects that I have three mods loaded. I have it pointed to the correct directory. Refresh and Merge don't do anything.

hm. Maybe you don't have any that conflict anymore? Try reinstalling the mod and then opening up Script Merger and see what it shows you. I had some weird things happen with deleting mods before clearing merges once, and that's all I can think of that would make it stick around.

I fixed it, I think, by dragging the modautoapplyoils folder out of the witcher 3 folder entirely and placed it in my desktop. I'm not sure if that was it or not.

Where can I find lesser red mutagens? I have a few dozen blue and green, but only four reds.

Another person asked this, and I also had trouble getting red mutagens during my run so I guess they're really rare. I only managed to make a Superior Red by the endgame.

Pray for death. They are super drat rare. And if you're like me and you have the DLC bug out and not grow the plant you need to transmute them, you are boned.

Honestly, I got a mod that lets me convert them with more common items.

If you really want to get them legitimately, the recommended strategy is to go to the whale graveyard in Skellige, kill all the drowners there, fast travel away, maybe rest, and go back. Repeat. You might get one a trip! you will get many more green and blue.

They tried to gut the Cat Witcher with a pitchfork when, based on the village elder's fancy-rear end digs, they easily could've afforded to pay his fee. Way I figure it, Geralt would've had some sympathy for a Witcher getting stabbed with a pitchfork by a group of assholes for no reason.

Cat guy definitely went overboard, but what's done is done. Killing him won't bring those (lovely) people back.

It will prevent him from going on another murder spree, considering that it's implied that he's done this multiple times before.

There are grey moral choices in this game. That isn't one of them.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

He's a Cat, they're all assholes at the end of the day. Not saying he's a good person or it's the morally just thing to let him go, but killing him for what he might do is poor justification. By that logic Geralt has a whole laundry list of people he should kill ASAP.

Just saying that I can see Geralt, or a certain version of Geralt, letting him go.

Geralt murdering innocent bystanders is fine. Sometimes he gets mad, we've all had our homicidal rage moments. Who can blame a guy for slaughtering some villagers? A subset of those villagers tried to screw me out of my contract money and kill me, which was very lovely and they deserved to die. Also the rest of the village needed to die because whoopsie! Sometimes you're just a witcher and slaugther entire villages on a whim. :shepface:

---

Geralt kills monsters.

Gaetan butchered a whole village because a few of the men hosed him on a contract and tried to kill him. I would have no problem if Gaetan just killed those who went after him, stole a ton of loot, and left town. Instead he had to kill a bunch of innocent women and children because his feelings were hurt. Gaetan suggests this isn't the first time, you need to put him down before he slaughters another village. Yeah it's lovely to get stiffed by the village elder but that doesn't justify murder. *unsheathes silver sword, slays Gaetan*

Geralt doesn't kill innocents. Sure, if you draw a weapon on him you'll be dismembered before you can blink. Don't gently caress with Geralt. But, he also does NOT kill innocents.

The plants needed for that DO NOT IN FACT GROW in my game. No matter what I do, those plants will not grow. Not anywhere in Touissant, not in the greenhouse, not in the upgraded garden, nowhere. I can find the broken plants and not harvest from them. Can't find a fix either. No mods seem to add those drat winter cherries or any of those other things to stores either!

The mod uses a mutagen of one color + mutagen of another color + generic monster blood/bone/claw = mutagen of third color. So kinda! But it does it with stuff I can actually find, so I can live with it cluttering my alchemy menu.

The mod, for the record: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1452/

notice the useless plants in the outside part of the garden on the minimap blooming fine, but gently caress THESE PLANTS HERE, I spent way too long trying to figure out how to fix them

Has Geralt ever intentionally killed a single innocent person? Not as far I can recall from the games or from my (admittedly incomplete) knowledge of the books.

It's ridiculous that some people suggest that Geralt can't judge Cat Witcher for what he's done. Of course he can, Geralt is a saint compared to Cat.

The whole Renfri deal in "The Lesser Evil" was a complete moral clusterfuck. Depending on your point of view, Geralt may be responsible for the loss of life that occured. In fact, apart from Stregobor being his acquaintance, he had no business or point interfering in the first place and should've just walked away from the situation.

Geralt slew three people that tried to throw him out of a tavern in Vizima because he wanted people to fear him and stay out of his way. Geralt's was the only weapon drawn.

While Renfri had a legit beef with the wizard, slaughtering random townpeople to get at him put her in the vilain category so Geralt was morally justified in stopping that I'd say.

It at least means that Geralt isn't being a hypocrite if he kills him. But one way or another Cat Witcher needed to die (or rot in prison for the rest of his life if you prefer but that wasn't an option) and the sooner the better before he has another chance to go on a rampage.

Yes, it's from The Witcher short story, the first one Sapkowski wrote. That's the one where he cures Foltest's daughter of her striganess, and it's the intro movie to W1 as well.

That's still a magnitude different than Gaetan. If Geralt had killed those three (aggressive) men, then murdered the rest of the village because "what else could he do", that'd be the same thing.

If it happens so early in the series (the very first story in the very first book from what I've gathered) I'd just chalk it up to Sapkowski not settling on Geralt's personality yet because that incident sounds pretty out of character with how he's later portrayed.

I kind of just write that scene off as Sapkowski just wanting to show how much of a badass Geralt is and not having his character locked down yet. The story also features Geralt using the guy who seems to have cursed her as bait, which IIRC was completely pointless in the actual process of fighting the striga.

Goddamn is fighting as Ciri annoying. The 3 crones were such a boring fight. Also I left the acorn on top of the mountain because I'm a dummy and it took forever to find my way back up there. HOWEVER, there were some great sword diagrams up there after the fight in the caves and around the mountain.

B&W ending spoilers: Maybe I already forgot about the details because of my terrible memory, but the path I took (free Syanna) seemed to explicitly be the one that had the largest chances of ending without killing Detlaff, but then I don't think was never really given a choice. He just tried to kill her and the boss fight started.

It's weird to reason letting the Cat Witcher go because Geralt would've done the same in his place because something similar does happen at the very beginning of the game at White Orchard. Some dicks get angry at witchers, draw their swords and you kill them all. But not the Innkeeper who kicks you out or the entire village who had nothing to do with it.

It's not that Geralt did the same thing, its that he has done close enough to the same thing that being Gaetan's executioner may not be something Geralt feels willing to do.

If you catch him in the middle of the slaughter you could maybe save some people so there's a much stronger case to intervene. If you catch him afterwards, what's done is done. Regardless of what you choose, you won't save anyone.

I think we can just accept that the game is willing to let you make bad choices (like kill trolls). If you do your Geralt is a bad person but rear end in a top hat Geralt is a valid choice, games letting you be evil is nothing new.

If you try and justify it as anything else, yea no, this is like siding with the legion in fallout new vegas.
