If you like a Gwent quest, I tell you I'm your man, You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me, The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say, I don't share your greed, the only card I need is Sigismund Dijkstra

klapman posted:If you're interested in Gwent at all, you might want to start now. Apparently if you wait too long the Gwent difficulty will scale up and even Swamp Farmer Bob will have a top tier deck. That's just what I heard though and I never bothered with it myself It's not so much that, like the first couple of games are always hard no matter who you play, it's just that you kind of need to build a collection and keeping track of who you've won cards from is easier if you just kind of play Gwent as you go. Plus it'd be kind of boring to play it all in one stretch, riding Roache around to find every dang blacksmith or w/e

P-Mack posted:Gwent seems kind of dumb, like there's not much strategy compared to real card games, since bigger numbers are always better. It's easy but it's not really about the bigger numbers. Like all card games, you win when you have card advantage, so you just play one of the two factions with spies, pack decoys, and play with your whole deck. Sometimes the AI has the same strategy but they're not as good at it so you win anyway.

rediscover posted:Anti-Goomba Stomp: Failing a quest or even a side objective and having that red X next to it forever, in this game This happened to me with Ciri's race with the Baron, and it was a glitch. It showed me the movie for her winning the race, then showed me the movie for her losing and gave me the big fail X.

I like the brawls on the controller, because it's basically the very, very easy version of the satisfying counter attack from Bloodborne over and over again, with your opponent never landing a blow as you repeatedly punch him in the face while a small crowd cheers.

Scrub-Niggurath posted:I know what you mean but I feel like that has as much to do with the fact that I put dozens of hours into this awesome game, so the music was going to get repetitive eventually no matter what Yeah, like the sad Velen violins got tiresome because I kept going back to Crow's nest to sell armor and the Skellige music grating on me is my own fault for finding all the ?s, but it does a decent job of mostly being subtle enough that 100s of hours later, you don't want to murder the person who wrote it.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:the game world feels so lonely after you're finished, it made me too melancholy to clear up the remaining points of interest and stuff. B&W kind of helps with that but I wish there was some way to hang out with Geralt's buds in the wild Yeah, I tried to clear the POI about halfway through B&W's Main Quest, so the very last thing I did was the actual epilogue, then buying a few things for New Game +

I mean if you're used to stuff like Bloodborne, even only swords Deathmarch is going to be a breeze, probably. I don't like that kind of difficulty in games with random encounters, but I'd still believe the horse races are the hardest part besides maybe two bosses in the DLC.

It's a well known fact that most Witchers die by drowning while looking for treasure in a sunken ship, falling off a cliff, or committing rage-suicide after losing a horse race.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:im playing this for the first time, what should I be putting ability points in? Start out with the physical stuff if you feel overwhelmed and then maybe switch to signs or alchemy when you Respec. I'd recommend the first few points in Axii so you can use it for hilarious hypnotism in dialog options

Being able to take one hit without it doing any damage is nice

I'm on a console so i can't get the mod that puts the oils on automatically but I don't think it's that's hard to throw an old on your sword before combat.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:the whole oil thing is sort of silly because you can reapply it during combat. honestly they should have made it just stay active the entire fight until you change it, because there's no penalty for pausing the game and reapplying the oil. yeah. like i guess they did it so you'd have to make the improved versions, but they could have just incremented the damage a little instead

Don't you get extra XP if you don't negotiate for $ most of the time, though? Money grows on trees in this game, I'd prefer the experience

The weeping and buzzing flies you hear in most Velen towns is actually just a recording of the working conditions at CD Projekt Red.

I did most of main game up until just before the end, then did Hearts of Stone, then the end of the Main Quest, then B&W, and I think Main Game, HoS, B&W is probably better. The only good thing about doing the latter is you get to do it dressed as maximum Geralt Cool Dad in a huge robe.

Everything about B&W is pretty well thought out. Like it doesn't even have as good of a Main Quest as HoS IMO (it's good, just HoS's is better), but it takes all the stuff from the base game and both celebrates and laughs at it in a really satisfying way to close out 100+ hours of Witcher 3. The horse quest, the one where you negotiate for potatoes, the testicles quest, the Gwent Dwarves, the postgame quest that sums up your choices... Plus the overworld music still gets stuck in my head whenever I think of a similar setting anymore, and it's been at least six months since I played B&W. That and the Gwent music really stand out.

I wish B&W had added the dies to the base game instead of just to Touissant. My brother is playing through it now and I keep wanting to make the Griffin Armor red.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:I'm near the end of B&W, thinking about doing another play through and actually playing gwent. I'd do NG+, and buy a couple of potions of clearance before you switch over. That way, you can change your playstyle a ton in White Orchard until you find something you want to stick with for a little while. Plus, you probably haven't finished your mutations and stuff. Stuff any gear you want to take with you in your stash.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:Sounds good. I've bought a few mutations already though, the first combat one, first sign one, and 2 of the alchemy ones (using euphoria at the moment), so I have 2 of the extra ability slots opened up. It actually will. You keep your potions. You get weapon and armor diagrams again, but they're upgraded to reflect your higher level.
