the games way of handling a healing spell is really cool even if it is kind of OP once you get it

one of my favorite parts of blood and wine was the devs just saying gently caress it and giving you a ton of different fun overpowered mutations like freezing aard and insta kill counters and the all time classic, every sword kill triggering a finisher/dismember

The way i approached the dodge/step thing was treat step as a more offensive move and dodge as a “gtfo” button

I use the dodge to actually dodge hits, and the roll to reposition around a fight, like if I get surrounded

Update: Got roped into like an hour long quest that resulted in me murking my first wild hunt boss and finding a magic lamp. Wearing clown pants now. Level 6. Good progress but that mission sucked the llamas rear end. I wish there would be a warning before starting long rear end quests like that.

Like that big dungeon you get elf portalled to or whatever? I like that quest but it's extremely out of place in the game and isn't a regular occurrence at all. You might enjoy the follow-up quest that your lamp hunt leads into much more, it's a total 180 and it's very light on combat and heavy on detective skills . I think you can start it by following up with homegirl whenever

I thought all that and the Tower of Mice and stuff is optional? Pretty sure all you are required to do in Velen is the Baron/Hag quests and follow them to where they intersect

Doesn't change the fact that the entire quest is fumbling around in pitch dark fighting poo poo mobs for 1xp each. Some Skyrim poo poo.

everything with Keira is hands down the weakest part of Velen storywise, and yes she is essential

Huh I don't remember why it's necessary plot-wise to do any of that . Especially given at the end of the quest chain you can just kill her anyways lol. Which I did accidentally because the dialogue option leading into that seemed way less aggressive than it apparently was

I did that mission over like 3 nights cause I just wasn't having it, so far no story mission has been that long though.

Oh another tip: Witcher contracts are normally just a short detective scene and then a boss bottle but a couple of them in velen really lead to new quests involving characters from the older games that you can recruit to your witcher castle at the end of them.

Worth looking out for if that interests you.

The tower of mice stuff is optional but the part he just finished meeting the elf is plot necessary, and the quest that it launches into investigating the ladies of the forest is too

Gwent is one of those things that is begging for a fast forward key and save states so that when you get a poo poo hand early on you can reshuffle.
