If loud visit the dwarf, if quiet visit the human. Go and see the halfling break in artist first too. Heist is fun.

I usually end up killing them both too, because they are both terrible people. Everyone, except Shani, is some shade of terrible in this. Fulfilling the 3rd wish is a great quest and has 3 excellent boss fights in it. Just great all round. In fact Hearts of Stone is just excellent all round. My favourite moment was at the end of the first boss fight in the 3rd task where I went “What the gently caress?” at the exact same moment that Geralt did in the game.

Oh god, I had to look up what you meant. I forgot about that fight. That was the scariest boss fight in the game. The whole quest is so atmospheric.

What's the worst quest in W3? Extreme Cosplay where you are immediately assaulted by half a dozen high-level dudes with ranged attacks. Never beat it. The Card Tournament where you are forced to win that loving hard fist-fight with that racist paradox. Playing the Crone fight on the harder difficulties.

Morkvarg wins for being the most irritating quest in the game. The crone fight is frustrating because Ciri hasn't gone full Devil May Cry yet and they operate on a 2-hit KO. But Morkvarg? It takes forever and he is easily the most annoying character in the game. If you lift the curse he's even more obnoxious than he was as a wolf

Agree with this. Morkvarg was the next to last quest I did in the entire game and all the runbacks, getting out of that loving garden, pulling switches. It just sucks. At least you can still kill him if you lift the curse.

Morkvarg's area is an okay puzzle the first time around but yeah it can be a bit annoying.

Where the new Assassin's Creed games fall down in comparison is that they rely far two heavily on the amount of question-marks. Skellige aside, you'll breeze through all the open-world fluff in a handful of hours in W3 while the real meat is the questing. Whereas in AC those question marks ARE the game and they are copy-pasted to a breaking-point.

Does anyone have a gif of Geralt catching a bag of coins after finishing a contract? I can't remember which contract it is but it's one where Geralt gets pissed off at the contract giver. I know, that narrows it down so much.

Helith posted:The Nilfgaardian commander in White Orchard? No, I thought it was that one at first but if you accept the coin Geralt just takes it from Gwynleve's hands. I think it's either in Skellige or Novigrad. EDIT: I found it. It's the ending of "In the Heart of the Woods" where you help Sven by killing the Leshen and he tosses you a bag of gold. Actually the elder tosses you the gold in the alternate ending as well, but Geralt doesn't have the same annoyed look on his face. EDIT EDIT: Toss a coin to your Witcher.

There’s several quests where he gets tossed a bag of coin and catches it like that.

I know, I'm just terribly sad at the outcome for my efforts. It was a great story, just I was invested in stabilizing the situation and was actually hoping I was going to turn it out better. Ah well, another try, another time!

It's not that things don't get better, it's that you can't know what your actions or inactions will cause, and you have to find a way to live with the results.

Yeah I let the evil tree spirit go for 2 reasons: loving crones don’t tell me what to do. The immediate outcome is IMO preferable to the alternative (slaying it). The bothersome part is the unknown entity of the spirit and what it can do in the future. But, a problem for another day.

There are a lot of different flavors of evil in W3. Bloody Baron, the Crones, the tree spirit, Menge, Radovid, Ymlerith, Gaunter O'Dimm etc all have their own motivations and are evil in different ways. O'Dimm, for example, is Irish. I think the tree spirit is some sort of ancient force of nature. Sort of like a leshen. Are leshen evil, or are they primordial guardian spirits of the woods? They're not good or benevolent but I'd argue they're not truly evil either. The main motivations of the tree spirit seem to be freedom and revenge.

I guess I got lucky that the Irish people I know show no interest in fulfilling my wishes in exchange for my soul and drawing up impossible contracts while being pedantic about wording.

Hey, are there any must-see quests in Skellige? I'm worried I'm gonna burn out on this game and I'm kinda thinking about pushing through to the ending. I'm doing the Lambert quest that ends up out here, and I already did the Yennefer quest. I kinda want to see what happens with these Irish viking people but I want to make sure I finish the game. I also did the Practicum Alchemy quest for the rear end in a top hat druid and he didn't sell the White Gull recipe, so I guess I'm just hosed? Although trying to beeline stuff is hard in this game -- I stumbled across a village with a really shifty guy that said nekkers attacked his mate on the road, and then it turned out to be Endragas?? but there were a ton of them and they were way over my level so I'll have to come back or Youtube it or something because I wanna know why he's so shifty. Or there's a random house that I check out because what's it doing out here? And there's a minor quest or a treasure chest nearby I need to find. Everywhere I go there's something that pulls me off track.

The first ten levels of the game never felt right. It's difficult to tell where on Velen to start exploring as you may run into foes five levels higher, and outside of the odd moonblade it's difficult to upgrade your silver sword. AC may have been more gamey by strictly dividing the world into leveled regions, but I did appreciate the option to upgrade old equipment. Who else has tried to get every quest done in Act 1 before Kaer Morhen? I appreciate RPGs that frontloads all the side-content at the start, so you end up spending 80% of your time in chapter 2 of BG2.
