Huh. I'm trying to import a save that I downloaded from the link in the OP. I dropped it in my savegames folder with the other W2 saves, but it keeps erroring out on me when I select it--import failed. Anyone have any tips?

Kopijeger posted:You know, if you choose the "answer questions to determine the events of the previous game" option the question of Stennis' fate never comes up even if you chose to have gone with Iorveth. Also, the ambassador you can ask about the political situation claims that Aedirn offered practically no resistance. I suspect they simply decided that the events of the Roche path are canon (where Stennis is automatically killed by the battlefield wraiths at the beginning of Act 2). Thematically, that works for the world too. Roche patch is crapsack world cranked to 11. Iorveth is all "free vergen and equal rights and brotherhood and happy drunken dwarves" which doesn't work in the witcherverse outside of fever dreams.

Solartide posted:I got like 20 pounds/kilos of crossbow bolts, on the one hand I don't want to drop them because they seem to be very versatile, on the other hand, I never use them because Igni. True, but you could use them to start the fight. Crossbow something, piss it off/kill it, then have it eat magic flamethrower when it closes. Win/Win. Edit: There doesn't appear to be a central church analogue as we'd know it. The closest is probably Melitele and the Maiden/Mother/Crone iconography it runs with. Dwarves appear to follow this to an extent; not sure if "Mother Creatrix" is another term for her or is another deity altogether. There are a number of smaller cults/Old Gods in the remote areas though--Veyopatis from the flotsam area is a good example. Edit2: You want "Dragon's Dream"--there's even an achievement for tossing one, Igni'ing a guy and then igniting the DD gas cloud. (then repeat it 9 more times) Because Geralt is a colossal dick like that. OAquinas fucked around with this message at 18:59 on May 26, 2015 |

Rant time: Agreed that CDPR is very consistent in creating great games with utterly hosed inventory systems. The inventory from W2:EE was more functional than this one, but on release it was total crap--I think they folded in a sorting mod so you can at least do alphabetical, weight, value, or time-acquired sorting. "Press F to sort by latest acquired/type" is pretty damned limited and not terribly useful outside of reading the latest note I picked up. And when I'm trying to make coin, being able to sort by value so I can sell off the best-price stuff first would be really useful.

It's like I put it before: CDPR makes amazing games, that have janky interfaces. Every single Witcher game has had questionable elements to their UI, inventory especially so. W2 got an overhaul with the EE, and I expect them to do the same here. The game is loving amazing, atmospheric, and just impressive on every level otherwise. The combat is a bit iffy, but once you get used to the flow and get some talent points in you'll be carving and roasting your way through. But it's a semi-open world, so with any game of that sort it'll have a bunch of bugs. Most are not game-breaking, just annoying. It's also a game that rides the bleeding edge of what video cards can do, so tweaks are being found and made to make it more forgiving for existing cards. Most of the video-related crashes are patched (I think). But that inventory system...there's really nothing redeeming about it.

If Adda is his wife, he takes Anais "as his ward" ostensively to set her up as a puppet later and to rule Temeria as regent/a vassal state. At least, that's what W2 claims. W3, it's irrelevant as Temeria rolls over like a wolf eating an Igni to the face. (never. gets. old.)

Haven't had too many problems with Drowners, but then I'm still rolling around more than I should; W2 habits die hard. Seriously, rolling around a drowner pack makes them a lot easier to deal with; even rolling backwards lets me dodge their lunges most of the time. If you get stuck in the middle then you're screwed or at least going to lose a lot of health, but that's true of anything. Roll around, get them clumped up, then feed them an enhanced grapeshot to the face.

Avalerion posted:What a joke. At least they could say what triggers it, I definitely leveled up doing quests last night so there's more to it than quests just not giving XP, or maybe I'm just not affected (yet). The reigning theory is that the bug gets triggered the first time you do a "grey" quest (that is, one 6 levels below you). Quests you overlevel by that much are not supposed to give you XP by design, and I guess that state gets locked in and breaks rewards for other quests. So until you hit Level 7-8, you're 100% safe from the bug. Consoles are getting the patch later is likely due to the patch validation process that Sony/MS require.

Actually, everything is spelled out between Letho's plotdump at the end of W2 and the beginning of W3. -Yen dies but knows the Lodge exists -Upon capturing her, -Letho is sent in to kill kings, kick rear end, and chew bubblegum. -Letho buddies up to Sile to frame her later. He bemoans the plight of the underclasses and the derivation of chief executive power. -His intended target is the King of Kovir. He was to plant evidence pointing to Sile and the Lodge at the scene/if he was caught. -Sile and Phillipa come up with the underpants-gnome-grade plan of destabilizing the north to create a Sorceress state. -Sile decides that her dumb witcher friend would be a perfect tool. -Letho hides a quiet titter as he axes his plan against a minor state to gank the leader of one of the four main northern powers at the behest of someone he intended to frame in the first place. After that Letho goes on his RAMPAGE and the Lodge is in damage-control mode (which involves creating far more damage, because they're the Lodge). Presumably, Yennifer regains her memory after the Probe, and then nominally works with Nilfgaard because the choice was that or  . Given that Ciri was detected, Yen is all too willing to use whatever is at her disposal to locate her.

GrossMurpel posted:Did the Lodge really want to destabilize the North? I thought they just wanted Demavend dead because he hosed with Dol Blathanna. You can't carve out a new nation in the midst of four big players without the cover of some chaos. They were hoping to keep it contained to Aedirn and just replace Demavend, but at some point they had to have some sort of ace in the hole to keep the other rulers off balance a bit to shore up their rule. We saw how quick Radovid and Henselt were to gobble up Temeria when Foltest died, and even more pertinently Henselt was about to take advantage of the Lodge-planned assassination to annex upper Aedirn at the least. I mean, they might have been so monumentally dumb as to think they c-ould neatly off and replace a king, but I doubt they were that blind. Well, until Loc Muinne at least.

Finally dove in and started using boats. Suspension of disbelief on the convenient directional winds aside (headcannon of a subtle constant Aard effect), the one thing that is really starting to grate on me is how Geralt turns from a guy with arms, legs, twisting body with inertia into literally part of the rudder during steering. There's no turning delay as he moves the rudder, no leaning, no reaction at all except LEFT! RIGHT! CENTER! There's a little of this with horseback riding, but its far less pronounced (when Roach isn't actively trying to glitch out and kill you, anyway). Not a major issue, true, but to see this gorgeous game and to go from great animations to that is a bit jarring. Edit: Also, gently caress that tavernkeeper in Oxenfurt and his bullshit 1 point gwent wins. But now I finally have my first hero card, AND Yen's a medic!  Edit2: VV What are they going to do, hire someone to rough up/kill Geralt? Get in line, guys. OAquinas fucked around with this message at 16:02 on Jun 3, 2015 |

Booya posted:If you go over your max you start losing health really fast. If you get close to the max you get really annoying screen effects and Geralt looks like a sith lord Pretty much that. Before you're able to dump skills into the alchemy tree to unlock those handy benefits, a good strategy is to take all your combat potions when appropriate, then when they wear off down a white honey to totally flush you and immediately drink up those potions again. Otherwise you'll have to wait until your toxicity goes down enough to redrink, which can take a while, depending. Edit: Death march has an increased XP penalty, so you level slower. I think there's also a damage penalty as well.

Survival guide: Welcome to the open world! You'll find that there's A Lot of Bad Things around that can kill you with a second glance. Sometimes even with just the first one. The way to survive is to do quests close to your level, and if you see red dots on the minimap, eyeball them and see what level they are. If they're not close to you (or are skulls!) RUN AWAY. You can come back and they won't chase you forever.

NeurosisHead posted:Where does the Temerian armor show up in game? The merchant stall in White Orchard of the guy you saved in the prologue. If you have it installed; you have to check the box in Galaxy if you're using that. Run the installer otherwise (or it should be auto-added if using Steam). Blacksmiths are in Novigrad (the mastercraft one is there too) and a Journeyman-level one is in Oxenfurt. Probably one in Skellige as well; haven't been there yet. For crafting Witcher diagrams you'll need a Journeyman level dude. You can find amateur blacksmiths around villages but they're only good for basic sword diagrams. Blacksmiths have an icon that has a sword in it. Armorers have a tiny suit of armor icon.

Campbell posted:That's true, but I've run into some times where my weakest is a 4 point card and I REALLY just wish I had a 1 pointer to finish baiting a pass from the AI. Pretty much every first round for me is an attempt to bait a pass or 10pt drop. There are two versions of PFI - the ones with close bonds are definitely worth having in your deck for just the reasons you put above. Great for baiting card drops, and the bonus stacks on top of blizzards so they're actually worth MORE than regular cards. Edit: VV If you have the cards to round out the 22 unit baseline without using them, then yeah it's probably not worth using them for their very situational benefit. But given the choice between the 1 pt siege engineer and the tight bonds PFI, I'll keep the PFI. OAquinas fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Jun 5, 2015 |

That was the point of the delay--they had the XP fix upwards of a week ago, but they didn't want to alter the code base this close to a big patch--better to wait a few days and roll it all in together. Kinda sucked to wait the extra time--especially with the uncertainty of the Polish holiday possibly screwing the release date--but I'm really glad they were able to get it out the door this week.
