I have put in probably almost 20 hours at this point and I am still only level 4 but I did prettymuch everything you can do in white orchard and doing every sidequest/whatever I wander into in Velen. I was also stuck in that well for a while. Swimming in this game reminds me of like, dark forces 2: jedi night or something. .

This game reminds me most of Ocarina of Time. I don't game much - maybe that's why. But if you think about it...

I didn't know anything about the Witcher coming into this game and I just figured Geralt was like this world's Judge Dredd, or at least that's how I play him.

I now have 75+ hours in this game. Level 19 and just rescued Dandelion and I have like 20 pending quests going down to level 11. Not been to Skellige yet. I have been prioritizing non-main quests to an extent but mostly prioritizing by doing the lower level ones first while I can still get exp. Basically I wander around instead of using fast travel if there are still ? items in my path and do whatever I run into unless it is too high level. I think I might be avoiding the main quest too much, though. Getting too OP.

The game is kind of an essay on the idea that neutrality is not actually neutral, which is why so many peasants must die. By steel or by bog curse. I probably shouldn't have murdered the Nietzescheans, though, but I thought it was only a brawl until I punched both of them to death.

Sometimes it is easy to know when Geralt will have a choice to murder, but other times you just go with "Well, huh" and an entire village dies.

I've got like 100 hours in right now and I finally got into gwent. I've barely been to skellige. I sailed around a bit and came back for gwent. Still playing through Velen but I think I have gotten through just about everyone here. I forget what the ultimate goal is here. Something about a wild hunt? Level 21 now.

Ainsley McTree posted:The nilfgaard deck gets pretty nuts once you get all the spies going I just got enough cards for a Nilfgaard deck, it's only a little weaker than my Northern Realms. Winning if there is a draw is a lame bonus. My leader card is better, though, I got the one that lets you spy an opponents deck vs the lame impenetrable fog foltest. I missed getting the white orchard in foltest, unfortunately. Siegemaster or whatever.

So I am finally doing Skellige quests and in the middle of searching for a wizard mask, Geralt pulls a page from the Hulk Hogan school of seduction and just walks into Yen's room nude and then there's a unicorn...see this is why I don't need sex in video games.

lite_sleepr posted:The sorceresses are all literally terrible and awful for Geralt. The best ending is when Geralt goes MGTOW red pill and just lives his best life as a solo witcher. I just did the Djinn quest and it was great that after Yennifer gives this romantic speech one of the dialogue options was "I don't want to see you anymore." Was tempted, but I already killed Keira and blew off Triss so I figured I am probably screwing something up if I don't "romance" anyone.

Both Keira and Triss had racist anti-witcher books on them. The one that says Witchers are useful for errands but otherwise scum.

I really liked that Lord of Undvik quest. Really made you feel like you were hunting a monster. Great sound design with all the ambient noises makes you think the giant is just right around the corner. Too bad you can't just kill the giant by yourself. He wasn't really a match by the time I started this quest. I let Hjalmar take the credit.

I think I am playing Geralt too soft. So far I have spared the allgod, the godlings, both succubi, and every troll. I did murder some students for knocking over those shrines. Got a few peasants hanged.

The humans are the real monsters. Really only feel bad about the guy from the pig quest. Maybe I should have stuck up for him in the end.

I saved a village then accidentally killed several people trying to igni a beehive. I thought the peasant I accidentally burnt would live but he flailed his way into a Doom barrel and took some women and children with him when it exploded. "whoops"

Tried to play Geralt tougher and threw the baby in the oven but turns out that was the nice thing to do wtf. Plus what kind of leader is this Cerys? Tricking me into killing a baby and not battling the hym like a true Skelliger. Got me to murder those guards because of it. She is no queen.

In other news I redid my ability points to ditch ranks in firestream and melt armor, which are useless as far as i can tell, and picked up magic trap and puppet mastery. So I can just stand in one place and throw fire bombs at bandits.

I encountered the bugged "Hidden in the Deep" quest on Faroe. Found a corpse with a letter and key and the quest completed before I could even catch what it was. So I go into this cave and slay the monsters and find the loot, but there's also an area with a fancy looking door my witcher senses highlight but I can't do anything with it. Does that actually go anywhere? The map was bugging out, switching between cave and surface, and Geralt even started swimming through the air for a while.

The wolf school was originally some rear end in a top hat who found a cave, probably a serial killer.

I must have like 200 hours in at this point but I still have to kill Radovid and then start the whole kill Eredin thing then there's the DLCs. I finished Fists of Fury last night. That was kind of weird. It's actually easier to punch a bear to death and knock out a rock troll than beating up humans. Go figure. Also I think I am stuck with the bad ending already because I got drunk with Ciri instead of throwing snowballs. Sometimes you choose an option and it's like whoa Geralt, that's not what the dialogue option said you would say. You dick.

Arc Hammer posted:If you don't mind posting where you're currently at in the main story I can gauge whether you're locked into the bad ending or not. Right now the main quest is Final Preparations and the only thing I have done so far is talk to Triss which led me to Blindingly Obvious/Reason of State. Broke off from that to finish some contracts/treasure hunts.

I screwed up "Without a Trace" and just reported back to the herbalist to say wolves got his apprentice. I immediately realized I misseed something when I saw the bloody ribs on his table. I thought the story was going to be that a gang of halfling cannibals led by the herbalist chased him and ate him. Read the spoilers and was disappointed. Early on in Velen I also got attacked by some cannibals and even took out what looked like a whole cannibal meat market, yet no quest or explanation of what the deal was.

Fritz the Horse posted:mage geralt is my go-to for early-mid game, I haven't tried it in the new version as I'm waiting to move to a new place and get set up I probably overdid signs and went into the Eredin fight without twirl or rend, but I still won first try while Caranthir killed me several before I figured him out. Playing HoS in front of my brother he was a little surprised I was able to wreck certain fights with signs. He did cat gear/melee and he said fallen knights, boars, and even those two necker fields messed him up. I just aard and blizzard potion and one shotted every necker or night. Boars I think I did yrden or something.

Spergatory posted:I'm not even talking about the damage, I'm talking about the actual process of fighting the stupid things, which just teleport away from you and spam ranged attacks and leave behind bombs. I have never died to an Archespore, I just groan every single time I see them because I know I'm in for several minutes of tedious repetition. Hit it with something, watch it leave, see where it pops up, dodge its attack and try to maneuver Geralt's glacial rear end to where it appeared before it teleports again. Repeat for far longer than is enjoyable. It's even worse on uneven terrain, since their teleport seems to ignore elevation but you are by no means afforded the same luxury. Can any bombs or signs stop it from teleporting? Haven't fought any of these yet.
