That's one place where the writing really felt off. Ideally you'd have an optional way of finding out Djikstra was planning to kill Roche & Co and then confront him over it, but the way he does it is just asking to get shanked, specially when in one of their first encounters in the books an unarmed and subdued Geralt beat the crap out of his guards and broke his leg.

Fooz posted:I think i cheesed most of the HoS bosses. Quen & potion chugging ahoy. The first fight with Olgierd hosed me up. Oh yeah, I actually found that fight the hardest one in the game, yeah, even more than Iris' Fear, since they at least had the decency of having less health and they'd sometimes interrupt one another.. I think it is the only time you fight someone as mobile as Geralt and while having all the bombs and most of the signs made useless. On the other hand, I did the Caretaker in a single try, attract him to the gazebo, as that as an easier place to find the spectres he will use to try to heal himself. Grapeshot is your friend here. Apart from that his attacks are pretty easy to dodge and leave plenty of openings to hit him through.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Thanks, that's a big help. How different is the third act depending on which path you take? Or are most of the differences in the second act? The main quests for the third act are different, but you can get the same sidequests, and they share the same endgame boss fights. Also, congrats on game of the year and best developer!

Harrow posted:Is Hearts of Stone a totally separate side-story, or is it connected to the main game's story in some way? Is it supposed to take place during or after the main game? (Same questions for Blood and Wine but I imagine nobody actually knows exactly yet.) You can play it as a side-story or after the main game, some of the conversations change depending on how far you are into the main story and the things that happened there, but that is all. That said, the expansion content is for a higher level Geralt. It has been implied that Blood & Wine is supposed to work in a similar way.

Pyromancer posted:Probably, you have exactly one chance to get armor blueprints and depending on your choice can miss one of the swords completely. Anyway it's level 39 gear so you're likely not getting to use it before blood&wine. Speaking of which, turns out I missed the Viper Steel Sword in open sesame? Is there anyway I can go back there to get diagram for it? Though I'd be fine with just summoning it with a console command to.

8-Bit Scholar posted:So I have a quest that tells me to go to this shoreside ruin, a lighthouse I guess, but the drawbridge is up. Is this something that I unlock later? I tried swimming around it but nothing caught my eye. If it is the place I am thinking of (with a place of power at the base), then there is an underwater cave near the place of power you can go into. It is not really obvious, but it is there if you look around and from it you can climb into the tower.

Game wouldn't even boot for me until I uninstalled all my mods so I'm gonna wait to play for a bit in the hopes that a couple key ones get fixed quickly. Performance is worse because the patch resets post-proccessing configuration and turns on nVidia Hairworks.

8-Bit Scholar posted:Huh. It's a weird thing coming to this game with no real knowledge of the world--I think they banked on that to try and set up moral choices for you. I'm in Novigrad and I accepted a Witcher contract Guards gettin' murked by some mysterious creature, as they were out a whoring. I track it down, determine it's a succubus, think "okay, it's probably gonna try and seduce/deceive me like all those rear end in a top hat lady ghosts did." so when the dialogue tree begins I just choose to straight up murder her. I mean, succubus, kills guys with sex, just a monster with a pretty face. But then I read the glossary entry after turning the quest in and I saw that in this world, succubi are not murderous at all, and don't steal souls or suck blood or anything like that. They're just super nymphos. Look at the bright side, you won't have an unmade Succubus Decotion in your alchemy list forever taunting you.

DevCore posted:As cool as that sounds, it just seems like I'll be way too OP by the time I get to the end of the game, the level pacing was way better pre-patch IMO. Well, there's level upscaling now as an option at least, so that should prevent Geralt from trivializing everything at high levels for the players worried about it.

Levantine posted:Finished Hearts of Stone before going to the Isle of Mists in the main game. Holy poo poo that was some high quality stuff, though I have one question regarding a person: Who was the Oferi Prince and why did Olgeird curse him? He said it's because his beloved was married off to him but that isn't right (if he's talking about Iris). The events of the third wish made it clear that Iris never left the house, or so I thought. The girl in question was notIris, but someone whose affections he was competing for with the Prince. Since Olgierd is a sore loser he casually cursed the Ofieri. This is more recent than the whole thing with Iris.

Same. Also, picked up the Manticore Armor and decided to respec to mainly Alchemy instead of the Dilletante Geralt I've been playing and goddamn. Synergy is easily the most powerful skill in the game and has done more for my attack damage than anything in the red skills, then I added Euphoria and it is like the difficulty has been turned from from "Death March" to "Just the Story".

Ragingsheep posted:Finished the main B&W storyline least night. Personally I felt that the best ending was a bit too neat and tidy. Except for what happened to Regis Honestly, I think the best ending is letting Syanna die and letting Dettlaff walk free. Sure, Geralt doesn't get a medal and has some unpleasant time in jail, but I'd rather make Henrietta sad than Regis, and I'd consider Syanna more responsible for all the poo poo that happened than Dettlaff. Sure, you might say he's an unstable monster, but dude is literally hundreds of years old and this is like the first time he tries to destroy a city, so I can't help but praise his self-control.

I still say that the one that causes alt-Yrden to cast normal Yrden on hit can trivialize a lot of the fights in Blood and Wine.

So, I see they have added a limit to level scaling. I am thinking of starting a New Game+ after setting Geralt to level 100 and using level scaling so I can play the game without levels mattering. Good idea?

Sometimes I look at the Witcher 3 in my Steam list and I think about starting it over or doing some of the things missing from my save - a few sidequests in Blood & Wine and particularly the Hanse Bases, as well as the alternate ending to B&W -, but the ending I got felt so perfect after seven books and three games (Yennefer and Geralt happy in their little house with Ciri as the future Empress, plus the final scene with Regis) that I can't bring myself to start playing it again. It is like, it is just perfect the way it is and touching it again would dimish it.
