And yes this does have implications. When pc gamers are wondering if they should upgrade for the best experience and they can run it with the best settings with a GTX 570, and it equals a console. Also, I have a choice between my PC and a ps4, chose the pc and was going to bring this into my theater for the effects I saw with in game footage from 2013, now knowing I could have just bought the ps4 version instead. We are all buying it anyway but this is pretty loving stupid.

There should be a gamergate thread where all "those people" can post and then the mods should just permaban anyone from that thread that posts anywhere else.

Which difficulty setting are you all playing on? I tried Death March and couldn't hang with it, so I bumped it down to the next one (I think Blood and Bones), but even this seems like it's fairly challenging. Then again, I'm still in the starter area.

What's everyone's opinion on the different Witcher armor sets? What's the difference between them all? I'm level 12 and I finally went and did the quest for the Griffin set. From what I've gathered, the break down is something like this (for the initial sets):

Cat: Light armor, focuses on attack power.
Griffin: Medium armor, focuses on sign power.
Bear: Heavy armor, focuses on adrenaline.

Is this correct? Seems like cat armor would be the "best" overall.

Harrow posted:

There isn't really a "best," from what I can tell, which I find really refreshing. Cat is the best if you want to be a glass cannon who blows things up with fast attacks (and is probably the best on difficulties lower than Blood and Broken Bones); Griffin is the best if you want to melt things with Igni and have enough Stamina regen to cast Signs pretty much back-to-back; Bear is the best if you want to be a berserker who builds Adrenaline quickly and then blows it on super-powerful Signs or cleave things in half with heavy attacks.

Ah. I've been playing on Blood and Broken Bones, though my focus has been on light attacks/dodging.

I'm 35 hours in and I still don't get adrenaline points. Can someone please explain this concept to an idiot like me.

Are treasure hunt quests supposed to give experience? I finished the cat quest and didn't get any xp. Was curious if I'm affected by the bug or not. Was doing the Gwent quest and getting 25 xp here or there. I guess my main problem is being unsure when I should and shouldn't be getting xp.

I had made a Gwent checklist the other day. Well it turns out a ton of the information on locations/names of stuff is just flat out wrong. And the Prima guide information is filled with misinformation. I scoured my checklist and went over all the online info I could find, so this should be pretty error free:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I20FoiznECcPGB24RRkPfQxd-2Pym5vI9QbTqYXsBAw/edit?usp=sharing

Also, if you're looking at the items with different face cards, you can cross reference it with: http://www.gosunoob.com/witcher-3/witcher-3-gwent-cards-list/

I haven't verified all the information on the second link, but it should be fairly accurate.

As for the achievement, I'm pretty sure you only need one of each card (which adds up to about 120 unique cards). So even though there are five Mahakaman Defenders in the game, you only need one.

That seems to be pretty update.

Apparently you can lose cards as I don't have one of the 6 cost Ballista that the game says you're supposed to start with. So never lose a game, I have no idea how to get it back or where I lost it.

That link is okay, but I don't like how they format their list. I went with a google sheet because I can easily hide cards I have.

Yep useful sheet that, cheers.

Still some bugs or imperfections somewhere. For instance, I seem to have 4 Poor loving Infantry cards for some reason. I also don't have a second Ballista or a second Clear Weather.

(Typo: "Black Infantry Archer", first one should be 1/2. Also some card names are wrong, e.g. "Archer Support" should be "Etolian Auxiliary Archers" etc, minor things)

Yeah, the Prima guide was pretty well loving poo poo with misinformation and being completely incorrect on the number of cards that exist. http://www.gwentcards.com/ and Prima both listed there being 2 "Albrich" cards. There's only one card in the game.

Hey fellow Gwent nerds. I found an awesome list of all the cards and where to get them. http://www.gosunoob.com/witcher-3/witcher-3-gwent-cards-list/

Also, holy CHRIST this game is long. A character in Novigrad sums it up pretty well.

Priscilla: You mean you have to find Dudu to find Dandelion to find Ciri? That is a lot of searching.

That list is nice since it shows pictures, but it doesn't list all the cards. It actually has some pretty gaping holes in the list.

Hate to go :spergin: for a moment, but they really don't look exactly the same and if you think they do, you might be kinda blind.

My wife loves watching RPG stories so she was has been watching a lot of me play through Witcher 3 and she's even commented on how most the women have different body types. This is nowhere more evident than in the bathhouse in Novigrad the first time you go in there. I'm genuinely surprised that they seem to have modeled multiple different size bodies shapes.

But if you look between Yen, Triss and Ciri, they all have very different body shapes.

So I just got done with Whoreson junior. The end of the quest kind of irritated me because I wanted that gently caress dead, but Geralt's soliloquy is all "you hurt Ciri you gotta die." No Geralt, motherfucker has to die because we are standing in a room with the bodies of the like 6 women he tortured and killed.

I just did that quest today too and I had the exact same reaction. For me it wasn't for Ciri, it was for all the women he killed. Plus, he would have been dangerous if left alive. He still has a loyal gang and he strikes me as a vindictive little bitch.

Blue Raider posted:

really only geralt triss and dandelion are rough. most characters are noninvasive at worst

I feel like I'm the only person in the world who has never had a problem with Geralt's VA (or Triss's for that matter). Geralt was stiff in W1, but that game had more rough edges than smooth ones (I say that as a diehard W1 fan), but in W2 and W3, I really like Geralt's VA.

Unfunny Poster posted:

Edit - Old Dandellion's voice actor sounds better than young Dandellion, Triss sounds odd and I can't place my finger on it. Geralt sounds devoid of a personality, which is weird given that the other Witchers seem to have a personality so I don't know if that's really necessary for him.

I only dislike old man Dandelion voice. I like younger Dandelion voice. Perhaps they felt that younger Dandelion voice couldn't give the recap scenes proper gravity or something? Who the gently caress knows. I wish I could disable those after seeing them more than once.

No, they don't look different. Tris, Yen, and Keira have the exact same mid sections, their hips are the same size. Yen may look a little thicker but that's because she's in the foreground. The only one remotely different is Ciri, and she's pretty clearly more lean and muscular with a few token scars because of her pseudo-witcheress status. Other than that, Yen, Tris, and Keira are all the same. They're just identical barbie dolls. I'm not about to devolve into an argument about naked video game girls so you'll just have to accept that you're wrong and I'm right :shrug:

Kiera and Yen are pretty identical, but Ciri is leaner with smaller breasts and Triss has larger breasts. And now I'm pissed that I typed that out at all.

In the quest "Count Reuven's Treasure," how did you all handle the situation with Triss and the witchhunters?

For me, I was escorting Triss into the place but as soon as they were going to take them, I told them to back off and murdered them all. Felt so good doing it and had no remorse in the situation.

Also, I've yet to go to Skellege yet, so I've only really had interactions with Triss this game and while she's been manipulative in past games and in the book, so far they've done well to make her sympathetic and it makes the whole Triss vs Yen choice a lot harder.

So I'm stuck with the quest "Redania's Most Wanted." I got the crystal and it tells me to talk to either Triss or Radovid. The problem was that I was already progressed in the Triss masquerade story so I can't ever talk to her about the crystal and now when I return to her place, there are guards there and it automatically fails the Triss side. I heard you can also take it to Yennifer, but she's in Skellige, and I haven't even been there yet. So it lists the only option as taking it to Radovid. What happens if I just take it to him? If I go do some Skellige plot, will I be able to eventually take it to Yen? What is the fallout either way?

Yes, if you progress far enough with the Skellige questline you can have a chat with Yennifer and ask her about the crystal. It took me quite a while to get to the point where she would talk to me about non-quest stuff though, so you're in fir a long haul (or I just missed an opportunity

Are there any major repercussions for just turning it in to Radovid? I never had an opportunity with Triss and I don't want to wait through 20 hours of Yen questline to turn it in. I still have a mountain of stuff to do in novigrad/velen before I plan on heading to skellige.

Basically, I pretty much have my mind made up but am just curious how much I'm loving myself.

Nobody really knows what causes it to trigger but as far as I know you're probably safe until you get quests turning grey at around level 7 or 8 maybe.

I thought it was pretty clear what causes it to trigger: doing gray quests. If you have a quest that says "Recommended Level: ##" and that wording is in gray instead of green or red or whatever, don't do that quest until the patch. You're not supposed to get xp from gray quests, but the bug is that doing gray quests flags you as not supposed to get xp from any quests. Note: some quests just don't give xp (treasure hunt quests for example). So when you don't get xp from a quest that isn't gray, don't panic that you're bugged. Also, quests without an associated level like races or gwent quests will not bug you.

Basically, you only have to worry about quests with a recommended level that you are 6+ levels above. So if you're level 16 and have some level 11 quests in your log, knock them out before leveling up or wait until after the patch.

Goddamn I hate it when I'm forced to do a quest. People have been saying that Triss goes away after her final quest Now or Never, and there are other side quests where you could use her help if she's still around, so I had been avoiding doing that final part.

Just now decided to do some of the lingering side quests, and why not do a Triss quest as well since it's not yet that final one. So I go to the masquerade, play a lot of gwent, fight some witch hunters, good times. Later go frolicking around in Philippa's lair and do some other fun stuff.

Doing all that I encounter one of these things where I could use Triss's help. Now it turns out that once you have the final Triss quest Now or Never in your quest log, you cannot actually choose to not do it. That quest will start automatically as soon as you get within 20 furlongs of Triss. So either you do that quest and then Triss leaves and gently caress you, or you reload an earlier save from before the previous quest in the chain and just put off doing that or any other Triss stuff ever until you've done everything else. What the Christ. :psyduck: A couple hours of questing wasted, I now need to reload since I don't want Triss leaving yet.

That's my problem right now. I'm just going to say gently caress it and give the gem to Radovid without talking to Triss or Yen. Hope it doesn't have major repercussions.

Ok let's clarify here. The statue quest is a 1 minute cutscene and 3-5 lines of dialogue per statue. There's no actual quest, that's it so don't worry about it.

The quest with the crystal does actually make a difference but that won't be evident until the end game, so it really does not matter when you turn it in. If you do give it to Radovid, I suspect you'll miss out on one of the better snarky companion quests at the end of the game.

Yeah, I just said gently caress it, went to Radovid and lied and told him I had nothing, he was pissed. The end. It doesn't matter though cause that fucker will be dead soon.

Spent some time just browsing the Witcher 3 section of the Nexus site. Some stuff I just don't understand.

Saw one mod "Just my personal mod of random cheats to power through the game on Death March difficulty." Like... what's the point? Why would you care? If you need cheats to play through Death March, maybe you shouldn't play through Death March?

Also, saw a mod that hoped to "Rebalance monster trophies"
