Let her know she will die if she refuses. Try to bribe/Axii her. Tell the other villagers of her crime so that she can face some consequences. Kidnap her and force her to reverse it at sword-point, then cut off her hands or something. Ask for more money from the kid's Father if you think the coin's not worth the effort. Nithing Isn't there another ending for that quest? I swear you could get her to lift the curse if you convince him to go back to her, and everyone lives.

Nithing I see it more as poetic justice - she put a curse to kill on one person, so it's fitting that she gets killed by the very same curse turned back on her. Also slicing down unarmed people is bad PR for witchers.

I agree, but I was under the impression that poetic justice is something that doesn't really exist in the Witcher universe so I dismissed that option. I also don't think Witchers, especially Geralt, care for PR. He might actually be losing jobs because he is so picky about who or what to slice down.

If you do that his wife and child are disgraced and live in poverty and misery, perhaps dying next winter for all you know. I'd just kill the would be child-murdering rapist, honestly.

Story ( i think or the one above it don't know) because harder difficulties rarely means much besides health sponges that hit like tanks, and while the battle system is serviceable its not great.

I started on Story and Sword to ease myself into it, and then I moved it up to Blood and Broken Bones when it started getting too easy.

Having played both Deathmarch and Blood & Broken Bones it really does feel like the only difference is how many cycles of the exact same combat it takes to defeat an enemy. That being said I do think combat is too easy in general but that is just because many enemies dont really have any kind of uniqueness to them. After the 150th pack of Nekkers or Drowners or Wolves or Wild Hunt Ice Wolves or Ghouls or one of the other dozen generic "Rawr I am a monster and I jump at you with claws" enemies it gets a bit old Combat with Humans, contract monsters, other unique bosses, and other semi-rare wild encounters are top notch though.

I have a weird problem and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I have all the wolven, griffin, and feline gear recipes *except* the superior recipes, which I have no quest for. Does anyone know how I get the quests for the superior recipes for these sets? Kind of cramping my style since I can't upgrade my items. Google hasn't helped at all either.

Kind of cramping my style since I can't upgrade my items. Google hasn't helped at all either. There are 2 ways to start the quests for the witcher gear sets. First way is to just randomly find a diagram in a set during gameplay when you notice the chest and loot it. The other way is to buy a map from a blacksmith or armourer which will then give you the quest when you read it. This page here has locations for the vendors and that site also has guides for the actual diagram locations of all the sets too. Should be easy enough to chase down the superior sets.

I think I'm going to have to mouse & KB this guy-movement feels way better with the alternate scheme, but the only way I can get the analogue stick look controls to feel natural is to unplug the controller and use a mouse with hardware input on

Usually the scripts for DLCs and expansions are done at the same time as the main game's so that the VAs can record all their lines in one go. Or are they introducing altered VA in the patch for the base game?

Yes, we call back the actors to do new lines. It's actually not that difficult, most of them all live in London. EDIT: Some of these may be lines we recorded and didn't get in for one reason or another.

So the 1.10 patch installed last night, and when I loaded up the game, it automatically failed the mission Novigrad: Closed City II. I am 100% sure I did this quest and that it was in the Completed section. I also read about other people having quests auto-fail with the new patch. Is there a way to delete this patch only? I had a perfect game until it auto-failed. Also, I get a pop up saying there is a new mission available called Mysterious Passenger, but doesn't do anything when I say to track it, and I can't find it in thr quest list. Edit: I should note that I am on the quest Isle of Mists, and have done literally everything else so far. I cannot stand this failed mission.
