No. I think you're taking the "Witcher setting is literally just fantasy Poland" thing way too far now guys. I mean there's references and elements of their mythology but it's a much broader pastiche of late medieval/early modern Europe than you're giving it credit for.

I've played enough to get a feel of how my Geralt is being played. He won't kill anyone unless he has to, but if you gently caress with him you're not going to like it. He'll take the money from contracts but won't try to get more than what was offered. Oh and he really, loving hates Witch Hunters and their church.

Use a torch instead of cat. Speaking of white honey, I used superior white honey when fighting the super high level spider boss and every attack healed me.

That one witch hunter who hangs with the Baron's daughter is OK. But I derived an unreasonable amount of pleasure from accidentally luring a level 30-something basilisk (from the "Dowry" treasure hunt) into Oxenfurt, where it slaughtered hundreds of Redanian soldiers and witch hunters.

I'm playing Hearts of Stone for the second time and I went back up to Olgierd's room where you speak with him for the first time. (really minor spoilers) I found a letter which is from the Borsodis' Auction House. Oh and also (ending spoilers for the base game) In the witcher Ciri ending, you can spot a dwarf in a bush who runs away as you get close. If you chase him, you find out it's one of the dwarves from the Isle of Mists, and his buddies are here. He runs away again as Nilfgaardian soldiers run up. If you choose not to betray them, the dwarves tell you that they stole a chalice from the new Nilfgaardian lord for Mr. Mirrory. I wonder if there are any references to Blood and Wine in the game already.

Yea, the two of them seemed sensible, like Eternal Flame actually brought the poor girl comfort, and the Witch Hunter seemed more reasonable. But i get the feeling the rest are a bunch of jerks who want to burn everyone they can.

There's no way that reasonable witch hunter's cough wasn't meant to come up later, possibly as a disease that can only be healed by magic or something. Same with the House of Respite that you can enter if you wear Nilfgaardian clothing but there's actually nothing to do there. I'd love to hear what the original plans for that place were.

Did you check the unmarked troll cave in western Ard Skellig? It has three hostile easter egg trolls and I think one of the Wolven gear quests takes you there.

I feel the same way about the Sorceresses' Lodge. End game builds them to be very important, you rescue a couple of em, and you need to do some quests here and there, but most of them barely factor into the narrative. The blind one was important but the ones we saved/died? The Lodge never even got one of those little off-shoot endings, we basically have no idea where Phillipa goes or what happens to the others. I hope the next expansion is involved in the Lodge and in those two folks you mention, a bunch of interesting characters we heavily invest in with little pay-off.. I need a Witcher 4.

You can always just pass and conserve it for a third round if you've won the first one and they bust out their big stuff for round 2.

Now that I've finally reached the end game I can play with non-north decks. A fun thing to do with monsters has been to play most of your tough single (non-muster) creatures in round 1 + cow, then even if you do nothing in round two you'll give them something to waste a few cards on. Or ideally have one of each muster group and plonk down an army each round. With full vampires and the three crones you can make every round into a haymaker.

Went with him to the swamp and found his wife transformed into a water hag. Killed the monsters, then went and freed her from the curse after finding Johnny. But she died in front of the Baron and their daughter. Baron told me to meet him back at his castle for my reward, and when I got there he was dead. Something tells me this will screw things up a lot.

"This is my story, not yours. Now let me finish it." I'm late to the party but that line gave me loving goosebumps. First game in awhile that I've actually been kinda bummed to finish since I became so involved in the world and the characters. Oh well, time for Hearts of Stone!

I feel like I missed something in Towerful of Mice. I took her bones to her lover, where she showed her true self. But what of the talking mouse in the notes? The experiments? Where these just a backdrop? I found a mouse that squealed like a human, but couldn't find a way to interact with it (mind control resulted in another shriek).
