Archimago posted:I have this with completionist autism on sidequests. But I did not save Saskia (she's alive but still mind controlled or whatever), I saved Triss. But I did get the dagger with the Iroveth mini quest after the fact (which means potentially can be saved later and the city doesn't turn into a blood bath and you get to kill all the Nilfgaardians). I can upload it if that's close enough. Trying to decide if I want this or my own - better to kill Henselt and leave Roche to be a fugitive, or break the mind control on Saskia? Hard question and I feel like I (appropriately) have no clue how it will affect things in TW3.

net cafe scandal posted:Looks like the game unlocked early for me... but I'm sorry to say, the graphical downgrade really is loving atrocious. This is not a joke - the game is visually indistinguishable from 1996's The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. no doubt the game world is smaller than daggerfall's as well

Quicksaves did overwrite each other in witcher 2 (autosaves didn't, they do now). It actually really sucks and lets you trap yourself if you don't manually save. A circular buffer of ~50 quicksaves is like the best way to do it.

No Mods No Masters posted:I enjoyed playing the guy in Vizima castle with his ridiculous nilfgaarde deck of 10 power assholes versus my bunch of garbage temerian 1 power fucktards. Just gotta find and buy less terrible cards than the starter ones I think. I totally beat that dude by using weather on his cards and using power-boosting cards myself. Go starting deck! No Mods No Masters posted:If it's the one I'm thinking of I had a level 10(!) drowner camping it and I just gave up until later. Short of arduously kiting it onto shore I don't think there's much you can do. This is really stupid but as a 4th level autist I had to get the treasure. It took a bunch of tries to get away safely for a reward of...a pair of pants. I couldn't fight them or get them on shore at all, just had to swim past them and back.

Megasabin posted:Are the dialogue choices you get with the axii delusion skill tree actually meaningful or get you special items/rewards? Or is it basically just opportunities to avoid fights? It's going to be pretty hard for anyone to be certain about what's worth it or not. I do know it is super annoying that there is an incentive to switch around your skills before every dialogue if you don't use axii in combat. Hopefully they make that part passive but I'm not holding my breath.

No Mods No Masters posted:Go to the question marks and sell any swords that aren't an upgrade to a blacksmith and any armor that isn't an upgrade to an armorsmith. Sometimes you'll hit the jackpot, even some of the dinky swords (the gnomish gwemyr or whatever comes to mind) will sell for several hundred gold. You'll also get a ton of formulae and other cool stuff in the process. Also once you get to Novigrad you can cash out your nilfgaardian and temerian currency for the actual currency, which amounted to a ~1700g payday for me. After doing this for a while I ended up with ~7k gold and the biggest issue became finding a vendor with enough money to sell additional crap to. Yeah I think I should always be crafting/repairing/dismantling at the same shopkeeper to make sure to up his gold amount - it's no use all spread around. (It is cool that shopkeeper gold goes up when you buy services.)

Broken Cog posted:Yeah, I didn't trust the ghost either, and as the situation stood the plague was at the very least contained to the island. Bringing a plague wraith to the mainland sounded like a really, REALLY bad idea. I didn't know it was a plague wraith, though I guess I could have figured it out based on the wizard working on disease stuff. I had explored the tower already so I think I missed a bunch of exposition with Keira on that. Hopefully plaguing the city doesn't happen in-game, I feel guilty.

Anyone else bit by the disappearing alchemy formulas bug? A bunch of mine have disappeared. I finally got the last nekker heart and can't make enhanced white rafford's any more. Also no one sells them because something in game thinks you have them. I have enhanced northern wind bombs but I guess no formula for it, somehow. Comte, please fix.

I can't imagine any gwent deck being better than the north - I guess nilfgaard has higher numbers but fewer abilities. Low level things that need to be paired don't do it for me.

Novigrad quest stuff: Do you never actually find Djikstra's treasure? That seems like a weird loose end. I'm still in "act 1" but yeah. I feel like it's super easy to miss Novigrad stuff because of all the unlabeled places and unmarked quests.

I ran into some guys I thought were assholes but not worth killing and I punched them all out because they were weak and lovely, but the combat log says they died. Jeez Geralt, show a little self-restraint. I like how you get into fistfights where you die if you lose, but still aren't willing to pull out your sword or use magic on them.

So I did the possession quest in Skellige: So uhh, I threw the baby in the oven, because I felt it was going to be some sort of trick as the game described, and I wouldn't actually be doing something bad. They reveal the jarl's son to still be alive, but they never show the guy taking anything out of the oven. I guess the implication is somehow it was unharmed? To me it seemed like, in game logic, you didn't ACTUALLY do something bad, because uhh, that was some other baby you roasted? I don't get how the baby lived.

Baron Bifford posted:There's a trait called "Rage Management" that allows me to substitute Adrenaline Points for Stamina when casting Signs. Is it good? It's okay - it's bad for signs where you need stamina to keep them up(like alt igni) since obviously if you're using adrenaline, you don't have as much and there's an opportunity cost to draining it anyway that makes it not worth it. It is still in my list but I'm going to take it out soon - my increased stamina regeneration has kind of made it feel obsolete. Maybe it would be better again if you took the one that made casting signs give you adrenaline or any sort of increased adrenaline gain.

I thought it was 10% each slot, not 5%, but it's definitely questionable since you are sacrificing a 10% sign intensity increase for your mutagen as well, so it's only a net 10% (assuming the 20% people are right). Who sells the griffin upgrade maps? I have been to every shop and only found one of them. I have a feeling it might be a trapped person but I haven't any idea which.

Does higher burning chance affect anything if you're already at 100%, like burning higher level enemies? I know I'm probably not going to get a definitive answer here but I may as well ask. I don't have the skill because I'm already at 100%.

Xavier434 posted:That...sounds OP as hell. Is there a catch? Does this make the game boring? there is a large opportunity cost in that you could have spend all that stamina and time hitting monsters with igni and your sword instead like, you're low on health, you get smacked around some, maybe regain some health, maybe take more on the last hit than you got back, you're in roughly the same spot with the monsters having the same amount of health - compare that to just using igni instead Jeffrey of YOSPOS fucked around with this message at 20:04 on May 27, 2015 |
