I think I may have killed that guy at some point in w2 but I don't remember some sort of punishment. Philippa was the craziest punishment I remember.

There is no subtext. What was done is entirely in character for Roche, who is an ultra nationalist, torturer, son of whore (literally and figurative). Also stop trying to make the drat game appeal to your sensibilities.

Willfrey posted:Figured I could try out other armors, swords. Noticed a lot of high level stuff I never tried because of witcher gear. Plus I found the diagram fetch quests a bit tedious Yeah, there were a bunch of cool looking armor sets that I basically never bothered using because I was sticking with Witcher gear, so I wouldn't mind wearing some other stuff for a change. It sucks you can't apply dyes to non-Witcher gear though.

Roche owns. I like when he throws his sword at a guy. Also all of his plot stuff. Going with him in act 2 of Witcher 2 is good poo poo. So is Iorveth, though.

So as I understand it, monsters do 'monster damage', meaning the slashing/piercing/bludgeoning values of armour are useless against them, but obviously monster resistance and the actual armour value are still worthwhile. Correct? What I'm now wondering is whether animals that you kill with steel weapons, e.g. bears, count as 'monsters' for this purpose.

Just want to reiterate how amazing the equine phantoms quest is. It's very rare for a game to make me laugh out loud but that and the tax collector in HoS did the trick. Comte needs a raise. Also two bugs I encountered that I haven't seen mentioned in the patch notes: In the big feet to fill quest the game doesn't recognize when all the bandits attacking a caravan are dead. (ending spoilers)I was visited by witcher Ciri instead of empress Ciri even though I never got the witcher ending in the base game

Spite posted:I realized I missed the gwent card during the heart of stone party. Can you get that another way? Yeah it's still there, just go back. It's in the barn, in the attic I believe. Or do you mean you missed the gwent game, and thus the rear end ears? If so I think those are gone  Mizuti posted:Has anyone tried The Appearance Mod? Stealing Roche's hat is tempting, but it looks super complicated and I'm not sure it's worth it. It's not that complicated, you just need to copy paste stuff into some settings files, copy paste a few folders, and probably merge the scripts - Friendly HUD has a couple conflicts, at least. The script merger (it's on nexus) is easy to use. AMM hasn't been updated for 1.22 yet though. Also get Dandelion's hat instead

Probably a dumb question but do the different tiers of Abilities stack? So if I have the Yrden sustained glyph ability equipped would it make the magic trap tier last longer too?

Okay, time to knuckle down and get through this main campai- Pellar: White Wolf, Wise Wolf, please help the Pellar! Geralt: OF COURSE I WILL! It's just so easy to get carried off on a chain reaction of quests in this game, even when you've already done all of them before!

Just had the dumbest death during a guarded treasure hunt, managed to kill all but one of the monsters guarding it with about 2 vitality left then dodged into a swarm of bees on a tree and died.

How are HoS and Blood and Wine integrated into the main game? I'm a little ways past white orchard, and I'm just curious what kind of introduction or whatever they have, if any

Lore question. Vesemir is stated to be the only survivor from when the peasants sacked Kaer Morhen, and that happened when he was a young Witcher. Now I am under the assumption that at least a few other Wolf School Witchers were away from the fortress at the time, but does that mean that Vesemir was responsible for training Geralt and Eskel as children? And would that make him complicit in the Trials of the Grasses and the extended mutations experimented on Geralt?

Think so but Vesemir was just the sword master, he would have been present but they had actual alchemists and potion masters doing the mutations back then.
