Gaius Marius posted:You cannot take anything with you except your choices. And apparently not even your choices sometimes, given that I spared Letho specifically so I'd see him in TW3, only for him to be completely absent despite me importing the save.  Pro tip: simulate your Witcher 2 saves instead of importing, people.

No but if you're particularly attached to the look/story of any of it there's mods you can get for Witcher 2 gear.

So it turns out this game is excellent, and I kind of wish I knew that six years ago but I wouldn't have been able to play it until it was on the Switch anyway.

Both. I am retired in a vineyard, drinking wine someone named after me. Okay, actually after the last set of credits finished, I wandered off to do some more sidequests and then I immediately rolled off a cliff by accident and died. I figure that's the ghosts of CDPR telling me to stop. Here lies Geralt, he beat the devil and some vampires and whatever the gently caress the groundskeeper was but I guess weak ankles did him in

I'm actually partway through Hearts of Stone right now and I have to say this poo poo is awesome. Gaunter O'Dimm is sus as all hell but in an as yet unclear way, and Olgierd is a fantastic character, just living his best minor gentry turned cossack mercenary or whatever. Olgierd in particular (minus whatever magical curse is surely involved) is the type of warrior aristocracy that should be far more common in the setting. Which brings me to something that I think the game misses hard on: the character models for the Bloody Baron and Dandelion. Now I haven't read the books, so I have no idea if these characters are depicted the way they're written there, but:

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Dandelion moisturizes. Alternately, he fell into a 'fountain-of-moderately-delayed-ageing' and there's a running bet on how long it takes Geralt to notice.

Dandelion is on the wrong side of 40, looks like he's 20 and acts like he's 10.

I know you can't think for yourself. I know you're almost forty, look almost thirty, think you're just over twenty and act as though you're barely ten."

The greatest thing about waiting to play awesome games is how much cheaper they are by the time you get to them and how many of the bugs they've worked out. This strategy has served me well and has really done wonders for my gaming budget and kept me from wasting probably thousands of dollars over the years/

Olgierd in particular (minus whatever magical curse is surely involved) is the type of warrior aristocracy that should be far more common in the setting. The baron has been there a few months, but he rapidly descended into banditry following Temeria's initial defeat at the start of the third war. He was already a bandit before the fighting in Velen happened. He moved in after the Nilfgaardians conquered White Orchard after they smashed the rest of the Temerian Army, Strenger included. He then set up in Crow's Perch and pledged allegiance to Nilfgaard, so they were not attacked when the Redanians and Nilfgaardians fought there. He has been a bandit for a little under a year by the time Geralt meets him, plenty of time to go from a portly but competent field commander to a drunken slob.

Wait, how long ago did the Nilfgaardian Army reach Velen? It really looks feels like that whole situation is less than a month old, with the battle in White Orchard barely occurring beforehand.

Aedirn and Rivia fall in late 1271/early 1272, and Temeria's army is defeated in the field shortly thereafter, which is when the Baron is left without an army, and his unit turns to banditry. He makes his way into Velen, which is leaderless following the collapse of the Temerian state. White orchard is officially conquered in late May after a battle between the Nilfgaardians and what remnants of the Temerian army could be mustered. The battle in Velen is between Redania and Nilfgaard, and that happens after the battle of white orchard. Since the Baron is already in power there and pledged to Nilfgaard, he is left alone. Geralt is lagging behind those events due to travel time. He gets the white orchard not long after the battle there, but then has to travel to Vizima with Yennefer, and then to Velen. There also has been enough time for the Baron's daughter to to have been recruited by the witch hunters, and Anna has been in the swamp for at least a fair amount of time before Geralt arrives.

I thought the battle in Velen happened in the late winter early spring and when it began to thaw out the fighting stopped because the whole place was a bog. It's definitely been a few months stalemate.

It's definitely been a few months stalemate. It's hard to determine, this is just how i interpreted everything. Regardless, the Baron has been there at least a few months, and a bandit longer, so to the OP's point about his appearance, he has had time to get sloppy af.

Bought this game when it first came out. Bounced off it within 2 hours, it was just boring. Just started it again the other day, about 8 hours into it now, and it's unbelievably good. Will installing a graphics mod run any risk of breaking my save-games?

No Levels. Makes all the equipment usable off the bat with scaling more akin to Fallout rather than having multiple versions of the same armournwith moderately better stats at higher levels. Still makes unique items and Witcher gear superior but it encourages you to actually use rare swords rather than just Iris and Aerondight.

This is awesome and a lot of fun. https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/5007 Auto apply oils is a must have imo. Coloured map markers. Friendly wolves if you're as sick of fighting wolves in video games as I am. Gwent deluxe makes gwent a little more interesting. HD reworked and nitpickers for graphics. All quest objectives on map. No mud/water/blood/toxicity on screen. Someone needs to talk to CDPR about putting loving screen filters on their games. They've got that stupid dark haze when you sneak in Cyberpunk too. No fall damage. And whatever petko wind is called on the nexus because that makes the wind effects a little less over the top.

Yeah either this or Ghost Mode so you can either eliminate levels or make everything scale to your level. That way you can do stuff in whatever order you like.

I've never tried FCR3 might on my inevitable next playthrough! Don't do Enhanced Edition though. Unless they changed it a ton it plays very different from the base game you'll need to relearn a ton. It's very tryhard. You even have to farm ingredients to craft charges of alchemy items, there's no "container item refilled with alcohol on meditation" which loving sucks. gently caress grinding.
