Slashrat posted:You're a bit off-track. The Tree Spirit quest is in the witch branch of the main questline in Velen, not the Baron's branch. Both questlines eventually merge when you've followed up on them both. Keira Metz will point you in the direction of the Crones, and through them, the tree spirit. Yeah, basically following the Baron, all you learn is that his wife and daughter ran off, and some bigass monster ran off with Anna, while the daughter went off on her own. You don't actually find out what the monster was until you go through Keira's stuff.

cerious posted:Alright so I finally redeemed the code for the Witcher 3 on the PC from the Nvidia bundle. Before I start playing it though, is it going to be worth it to play through the first 2 in the series? Or should I just read up on the summaries and dive right in? As somebody who has played the other two, just jump right into 3 after reading the summaries. The other games I liked, but Witcher 3 I looooved, and the decisions that carry over don't effect much, and you can just have the game simulate carrying over a save anyway.

I went with her because I, the player, wanted to know what she said, not because I thought it was the right thing to do. Nope, Geralt and Yen stand outside the room and debate whether it's right or not to try and listen in. Well, Geralt debates. Yen pretty much immediately puts her ear to the door, but isn't able to make out much.

Also you shouldn't really be comparing what you did versus what you could have done, just do what feels right and consider that your story.

On the one hand, new DLC apparently may have leaked, and you shouldn't download it because it may gently caress with your game. On the other hand, it's new costume DLC for Ciri! On the other hand, it looks kinda dumb and features an exposed midriff. http://www.irishexaminer.com/technow/games/the-witcher-3-ciri-dlc-accidentally-leaks--developers-say-dont-download-it-340996.html

Not sure what to make of it. Yeah, the first book isn't a complete novel, but a series of short stories about Geralt. After that they turn into a fuller series of novels, but I actually like the first one the best just for how it jumps around to all these different little vignettes.

exquisite tea posted:There is officially too much stuff to do in this game. I'm 15 hours deep and have barely cleared out even half the question marks in Velen. Yeah, but even better, you can take the bribe and then immediately turn around and continue the investigation, make an extra bit of coin, and the only person who can judge you for it is already a terrible person, sooo.... Also maybe I just rushed ahead too quickly in the story on my first playthrough or my skills have improved since then, because I'm doing a Death March playthrough and I'm finding it easier in parts. The botchling fight still absolutely sucks, but the gargoyle in Keira's quest and the werewolf in one of the contracts both took forever on my first playthrough, and I was just cleaving through them like a hot knife through butter this time. Assuming you're willing to be patient and cautious and constantly cast Quen, it's not too bad outside of certain tricky segments.

You'll come back to it, don't worry.

cheesetriangles posted:I am aware. What I mean is they could release it on PC and consoles get it later. Yeah. Or they could do it the way they're doing it too. Which is what they're doing. I mean, they're still fixing this game for free and releasing all sorts of DLC, again, for free, along with two expansion packs that sound like they're gonna be as big as the previous game in the series. So, like, at this point I kinda feel like if they want to wait a couple days to release a patch, that's okay. Especially if the cert process catches something that might also affect the PC version, so they can release a fixed patch instead of having to scramble around to get parity between different versions of the game.

Yeah, I'm not arguing you can't send emails or give negative feedback or whatever you need to do, but...like...they're not gonna put the patches out earlier. In a few days the patch will be out. And then the patch after that. It's a video game, man. Chill, they're fixing it, give them time to do their jobs to fix it right. People complained about PC getting the patches earlier than consoles, now they're releasing them at the same time and people are complaining that PC has to wait for the patches to hit consoles. So what's the answer?

Besides, if they were in this to just make ludicrous amounts of profits, they wouldn't be rolling out patch after patch, free DLC content, and holding an incredibly lassez-faire attitude toward piracy. I mean, we COULD go over to their offices and dress them up in little outfits and make them dance for us until the end of time. Maybe that would be a better use of their time.

Yeah, it's shocking how quickly Death March levels off, or at least you start learning how to play appropriately for it. The beginning is an absolute slog until about level 7 or 8, and suddenly you're laughing in the face of danger because you're dodging and Quen'ing all over the place. The only thing more satisfying than (late game boss spoiler) roasting Imlerith's head inside his own helmet (seriously, that bit was impressive) is doing it without taking a single hit. Because if you do, you're pretty much already dead.

cams posted:I don't really have a problem switching signs in battle. I do, however, have a problem playing and not dying on Death March. Only level 5 so I dont have too much to work with but holy poo poo it's rough. As someone about to finish their Death March run, I promise you it gets easier in a bit. My main stumbling block at that point was dealing with the Botchling. Just be patient and you'll get through. Also bear in mind that when spectres disappear, you can tell where they're moving by the light of their lanterns on the ground. The game starts to level off at around level 7 or 8, and then so long as you're careful to keep to things within your level range, you're pretty much golden outside of a few trouble spots.

Then again, it's been a long time since I read the books.

I mean, it's reckless and fucks up an entire community, but without consulting Skjall, who she knows was the last person to see Ciri alive, which is a thing that Yen knows, they would have no leads. Their only remaining witness is dead, and she knows how to get information from a dead person, it's not like she randomly picked a corpse to resurrect.

Also earlier in the game Geralt makes a call to either help a cult of witches who kidnap and eat children and take human ears as payment, or else to help a creepy tree spirit that immediately murders an entire town, and all of that just to find the location of one old woman at the behest of a drunken wifebeater. Who is standing about 30 feet away the whole time

To argue that this is objectively good is It's not objectively good. I mean, Yen basically destroys a community and tears a soul screaming out of the void into a rotting corpse and tortures it into revealing the location of a girl he had a crush on before he died in agony, but it's the only recourse left in the story. There's no such thing as objectively good in the Witcher universe, but from Yen's perspective, Skjall is already dead but there's still a chance to save Ciri, and from that perspective, she's totally correct. Again, Geralt himself is making choices just as terrible left and right for the exact same reasons as Yen, only he tries to wrap it up in a Code that doesn't actually exist and pretending to be neutral in a world where neutrality just gets people killed, whereas Yen has the audacity to be upfront about the fact that she's doing terrible things for decent reasons.

Gobblecoque posted:How is the death march difficulty? I just finally finished my first playthrough which I played on blood and broken bones and some point around 1/3 of the way into it I felt the inevitable power creep of all open-world RPGs where I was able to bash most everything without much thought or difficulty (I noticed this when I completely stopped fussing with oils and barely used potions and bombs). Probably not going to play through the whole game but I'm thinking of starting a go on death march as I like the thought of really having to think about every encounter and actually using the resources I find rather than tossing them in the bottomless alchemy backpack. I just beat it on Death March yesterday and it's exactly like this. The beginning of the game is a loving slog, and then by the time you reach about level 8 or so, things start to level off, partly because you have enough abilities and equipment to carry you, and also because you've developed the skills at dodging and blocking to survive. Quen is basically mandatory, though, since you can probably take like two or three hits from an enemy at your level, and the boss fights turn into wars of attrition where you dodge around just to have an opportunity to do a couple of light attacks. But honestly, after that initial hump, it's not bad at all.

10 Beers posted:Is it possible to get the Wolf armor at Kaer Morhen in the beginning? The lowest level armor is 14, I'd you can't get it before you rally to the fortress, it seems kinda silly. That being said, I wish that all the armor was available at the same levels. Making the bear armor available so much later than the others is kind of a drag. You can't leave the grounds of the actual castle in the intro, so no, you can't get the armor schematics until you visit after following Ciri's trail. That being said, it does at least take you to some cool places on the Kaer Morhen map you would otherwise have no reason to visit, so that's neat.
