Okay so I just have to ask to because I am paranoid. I am level 14 or so, I am running around Novigrad doing mainquest stuff there because I had read that you could get some great Gwent cards from Zoltan eventually. I wanted to do that before heading to Skillige. However, there are a lot of successive quests trying to free Dandelion. I just met Roche and am about to go kill Whoreson Junior. I forgot to meet up with Cleaver for the "Gangs of Novigrad" quest because I didnt see it in the dozen+ sidequests I have, and now that I talked to Radovid and got Whoreson's location, the quest to meet up with Cleaver failed. If I continue to do this mainquest stuff before heading to Skellige is there anything else major I am going to gently caress up? I know you can go to Skellige at any time but now I keep getting this "well I shouldnt leave this quest to save Dendelion dangling because I know that once I get to Skellige I'll be there for a while" feeling.Mordiceius posted:Dijkstra has some pretty loving great writing.

Greenplastic posted:The gangs of novigrad is just an alternate way to do the casino, fighting pits and so on, where you run in with a bunch of dwarves and kill everyone immediately. If you start investigating and then go to Cleaver geralt just says he's already on it and rejects him, so I think you can't do both. Much cooler to go in sneakily and play cards and stuff.

Riso posted:May I introduce you to my good friend, the Cockatrice decoction? Dr. Abysmal posted:Same thing for crafting and alchemy, where you have to scroll through giant lists instead of just selecting tabs for the appropriate category. Notes and books should be added to the glossary once you read them. I love this game to death (best RPG I have ever played) but good god the missions you get where you need to "read the note/letter/book you found" is really really obtuse to me. These books/notes/letters should be saved to a glossary so you can discard the poo poo from your overburdened inventory. What about the notes on the plague from the rattower? Can I toss 'em or could I give them back to Keira later? There should be a chest you can store stuff you do not want to carry around. Yeah I really like how the game abstracts Geralt using saddlebags, but I have 150 Dwarven Spirit, 150 Alcholest, 200 Waters (that all weigh next to nothing) and innumerable crafting/alchemy components/ingredients, a Nilfgaardian Doublet, and a billion mutagens that I do not want to carry around on me - I should be able to drop them in a loving chest. And yes I know I can drop them on the ground and come back later but that just seems blech to me. edit: also, when shopping, if you mouse over an item you already own, it should light up in your own inventory so you can see how many you have. I like to stay topped up on the rare alchemical ingredients and crafting materials but it is such a headache to search through all of my crafting poo poo to find if what I think I may be low on is actually low, especially because all alchemy and crafting stuff goes in the same tab. Sorry for the rant. I really love the game but the inventory is driving me nuts. AAAAA! Real Muenster fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Jun 2, 2015 |

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:A chest would make it even worse because now you also have to tediously think about "what should I put in the chest?", in addition to the already existing and tedious questions, "what should I drop?" and "what should I sell?". Selling items should just be removed entirely, then there's no reason to pick up junk, and there should be a potion and bomb tab, and no weight limit. That would probably be enough. (I'd go further and remove looting random crap everywhere but they aren't gonna do that.)

Is it just me or is it really hard to find Red (non-moster) mutagens? I'm level 16 and have most of Velen's ?s cleared out and I have a million blue and green mutagens but have only found a whopping three lesser red mutagens.CJacobs posted:I've got to say I am a little bit annoyed that the Velen main quest chain, given by Yennefer, leads you only to information you already knew that was given to you by Yennefer in the first place. In like your first conversation with her before she departs, she says that she speculates Ciri was headed to Novigrad or Skellige. Then she goes to Skellige to make sure she's not in Skellige. So you hang around in Velen and spend like 30 hours of gameplay doing dual main quest chains there only to find out: Yep, Ciri went to Novigrad. Now go to Novigrad, where Yennefer already told Ciri was going. Because only now does Geralt know she was going there, and not before when Yennefer told him she was.

Voyager I posted:Nilfgaard can run with 5 medics, 4 spies, and a leader ability that lets them play one of their own spies from the enemy graveyard that nobody else has an equivalent to. Barring a disastrously bad hand, they're going to have card advantage over anybody, often by a hilarious factor. From what I've seen of their deck they can't ordinarily get the same huge numbers as Monsters or Northern Realms on a round where they try to go big, but instead they can play the same strength 10 Black Archers / Heavy Fire Scorpion every single round to constantly force resources out of their opponents while totally controlling the pace of the game by having twice as many cards in hand.

Voyager I posted:One of your Black Archers and Auxiliary Archers come from a person in distress in Velen. He's on the moderately large island a bit to the east of Claywich, and returns to Claywich after being rescued.. Your spies, unfortunately, are all random drops, and the ridiculously good Emperor ability that really sets Nilfgaard above Northern Realms is a reward for beating an opponent in the Gwent tournament. It takes some work getting proper Nilfgaard deck running.

The only limiting factor is paying the ship captain 1000 crowns to take you, and after that you just fast travel back and forth from the mainland. You can ignore the main quest stuff there until you're ready. I haven't quite finished the game yet but vampires don't seem to be a very common enemy anyway and mostly turn up in side quests. edit: Havent I seen that you can get your money back for the trip to Skellige? I have like 20k because I am a klepto so its not like I need it, but, yeah.

Going to spoil this about quest order once starting off in Skellige: Did I see somewhere that if I do "Ugly Baby" before starting the assassination plot I can miss out on it and the Gwent: Old Friends quest? Because I am up to Ugly Baby and about to go back to the continent to clear out some of the million sidequests I have piled up and I want to make sure I dont gently caress things up by coincidentally doing Ugly Baby while in Crow's Perch.

Burns posted:(A lot of good points) I am really hoping they improve the inventory and also have books/notes you read go into a special journal section or something so they disappear from your inventory just like potion and bomb recipes do. I also hope they let mutagens stack up so that reduces clutter plus (as someone else mentioned) make the monster mutagens do special things. Hell, I would like it if generic green mutagens did something other than give you health...I have potions to give me health. I am 3 slots red and 8 slots green....I dont need that much health if I am a chemistry build!

Meiteron posted:I went 0/20 on Armored Arachas, from two different areas, from ever seeing an Arachas Venom. Reasonably sure they don't drop it. I went 1/2 on the same Venom, but it was from a Venomous Arachas which is a special totally different kind which I've only ever found in two places: in a ruin you go through for like the second or third-last quest in the game, and an optional cavern that's very well hidden on one of the Skellige isles.  I am to the point that I am going to install the mod or whatever it is that lets you do console commands because I hate getting hosed by the RNG. Dont give the schematics for toys if the game does not offer an option to rectify the RNG being mean and therefore not give me the tools to make the shiny toys  I was really hoping that when they stated the game would so incredibly long (which I am very happy about; it is a great game) that it would mean I would get to use great late-tier skills, items, and whatnot (that in other games you unlock and then beat the game 30 minutes later) for more than a tiny% of the game. But if I see people saying they only hit about level 30, and my level 23 Geralt cant even dent the health bar on a Venomous Arachas just to make the enhanced (not superior) version of a basic witcher potion, I'm a little disappointed.

So in the High Stakes tournament you end up in a fist-fight with Finneas. I cant bring out my sword, cast signs, or drink potions, but the guy punches about 1000x harder than I do and about three time as fast....what in the everloving gently caress is this about?
