Just realized I screwed myself out of getting the wolf armor due to a bug. Would reinstalling the add on help at all?

Dirt posted:I am playing on PS4, currently totally stuck at this stupid quest where you take the Peller into the woods and he does some ritual that summons an apparently infinite amount of wraiths. Is this the one where you have to keep the torches or braziers lit the whole time? I think you have to keep them lit in order to hurt the wraiths or finish the quest or something. And, like everyone else suggested, Quen, Yrden, and dimeritium bombs. e: whoops, should've finished the thread before replying. 10 Beers fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Apr 26, 2016 |

John Charity Spring posted:The PAX sets are the Scoia'tael/Monsters decks they produced for the Hearts of Stone expansion. Northern Realms and Nilfgaard decks were made available in limited editions when the game was first released. The decks are all intended to work together, and there's your answer. Not quite. The nilfguard and northern realms are coming out with blood and wine. They haven't made it easy to buy them all. On that note they gave 400~ copies to con goers and enough was left over to give enforcers like 3-6 copies... I hope my coworkers are appreciative of the 6 copies I snagged for them... Edit: apparently the Xbox version had them, lol. GreenBuckanneer fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Apr 26, 2016 |

With some work put into it Gwent could really become a competitor for real card games. At this point it's just a concept that somebody built in 3 days, unbalanced and obviously lacking but the main idea behind it - 3 distinct rows, commander powers, spy/medic/dummy mechanics, different deck strategies - is really solid. The base idea like that is crucial to a good card game and it would be cool if CDPR expanded on it and developed it into another Hearthstone/MTGO.

If you're looking for a real-life and mostly balanced version, there's a pretty similar game already out that's a lot of fun called Condottiere. http://www.shutupandsitdown.com/blog/post/how-play-condottiere/ Tirranek fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Apr 27, 2016 |

Morality check question about the Nithing. Just wondering how goon justice would apply here and what people ending up picking. This was actually one of the tougher decisions I remember having to make the first time around and I am stuck again on this one. The first time around, I went with forcing Lothar back with the bitch and everyone stays alive on the least amount of harm done principle but I can't shake the feeling the herbalist deserves to die for targeting a kid even though the Lothar is a slimeball. I don't need any recipes from her so that isn't a factor atm.

The child is innocent. And making Lothar go back also makes him have to denounce his kid so he'll have no family. gently caress the herbalist, she went too far.

Thats cool, she lived last time so I guess she can die this time. I still can't help but think the 0 death count solution is messier but less vindictive.

Speaking of morality questions, is there a general consensus on evil hags vs evil tree? I've only played once and took the former.

Depends on whether you wish to doom dozens of people for the futile hope of saving one.

The base idea like that is crucial to a good card game and it would be cool if CDPR expanded on it and developed it into another Hearthstone/MTGO. I think the main idea is flawed actually. The core mechanics are too shallow. A basic MTG card has: 1) cost, 2) attack, 3) defense, and these three variables compete to produce interesting strategic options - high cost and offense with low defense, etc. A basic Gwent card, though, is just a number and a rank. A deck with bigger numbers is simply better, in this system. The depth only comes from hard-coded augmentations to the ruleset, like Scorch, but this requires a lot of developer effort to implement and balance, and they have a shallower basic design to work from. It seems like they were going for a kind of Raise/Call/Fold educated guess system, but in practice the decks work more like a Rube Goldberg cannon that either fires or it doesn't. It's fun for a side-quest, but I don't think it could support persistent interest like Hearthstone.

Of course you turn it back on her, how is this even up for debate?

Destroyed the tree due to a combinaton of reading She Who Knows and botching the Fyke Island quest which made me hesitant about accidentally unleashing another evil power on the world.

Depends on how much they fill it up, I suppose. The HoS is also big but it doesn't have that much poo poo to do outside of the main storyline.

Meskhenet posted:I went the evil tree. The kids are innocent, so keeping them alive was my reason. The hags can die for all i care. Just curious, but I feel like I missed the part where the tree spirit actually spells out that the kids are going to get eaten and it will save them if you free it. I know it's insinuated that the kids are pretty hosed and the hags aren't to be trusted, but roleplaying as Geralt, I never felt like I could justify siding with the spirit as it's such an unknown evil. As much as Geralt would like to help everyone, I also feel like he's smart enough to know he can't release an ancient evil on the chance that it might be slightly less evil than the Crones.

There's something about this game that makes it really easy to pick up and put down over a long period of time. So often with long games I end up putting on a podcast or something while playing or just get bored and never go back to it, but with this I can just jump on for 45 minutes, do a genuinely cool little quest and then not play again for a few weeks. It's like a TV show and I'm tuning in for the latest episode of Geralt the Warrior Princess. Also, absolutely awesome little detail, I never realised Geralt's face gets all creepy and ill looking when he takes potions during a fight. The game jumped straight into a cutscene after hacking up some monsters and it was like oh, yeah, witchers must look pretty scary to normal folk.

That's actually linked to toxicity, so if you use decoctions and sit at high toxicity consistently he looks like that all the time.

I was gonna make fun of Geralt's hair in that picture, but really it just reminded me of a strange bit of non-reactivity in a game that otherwise does reactivity brilliantly. Yen will compliment you on your beard whether or not you have one before the banquet.

There are also different levels of it, so if you just chug a potion of swallow right before talking to someone, you've got some weird veins on your face and stuff, but if you've been using decoctions or just got out of a potion-heavy fight, you basically look like a skull with some skin stretched over it.

Yeah, I downloaded a neat mod that makes Geralt look more pale and after downing drat near every potion in my inventory I went back to the quest giver looking like someone turned me inside out. Scared the gently caress out of me when I first saw it in a cutscene. Also who else (possession quest spoilers) threw the baby in the oven?  God what a hosed up quest that was.

I fixed it!  I honestly froze up 'til the last minute and just said gently caress it and hope I didn't gently caress up too badly. I really wasn't expected that.

It wasn't a hard choice for me because I figured out exactly what the plan was. Which means it's a good thing I wasn't Geralt or it would've failed
