The Witcher III: Blood & Wine |OT| One last contract, one last plough
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
So I was looking for some grandmaster diagrams and ran into a bandit camp that turned into the single biggest, longest fight I've seen in the game. My steel sword went from 100% to 20% by the time I was done.
I don't think I could have done it without the upgraded Yrden sign. Shooting projectiles out of the air is *clutch*

I had 12000 or so coming in to B&W. I upgraded the exterior of the house at Corvo Bianco (5000g) and now I realize I am severely underfunded. Considering going to Skellige and hitting the many smuggler's caches that I ignored.
So far the expansion seems like it is going to be amazing.
This game, man. What a fucking masterpiece.
It's called Turn and Face the Strange. Wander around in the city until you get it.

You should receive a message from the boy and the message is voiced so you know it is important. He gave it to me in one of the squares in Beauclair, not sure if that's random though
Cool, thanks.

GOD I forgot how much I hate racing in this game.
And the race in this expansion is especially annoying, because one fuck up and you lose, have to go through a million dialogue things and eventually you fucking can reload, which on consoles takes forever need I remind you.
edit: actually race isn't so bad, just don't drop your controller/move your mouse and exit the track by accident.

Are you using Quen, Aard, Igni? Cursed One oil?
The combat part of that quest is like that too. Reloading to try again is crazy long.
Tried all those signs. I actually have a sign build that uses them. They don't seem to do crap. I don't have cursed oil, unfortunately. Guess I could go find some ingredients. Still weird that these are so rough on me compared to literally anything else thus far.

I can't make Superior Cursed Oil since I'm missing a rock troll liver and that vampire thing that starts with the letter E. I don't think either of the two monsters respawn (unless they're also in Blood and Wine).
Question: I'm still working my way through the main quest. I'm at
Edit: I think I may have figured out which ones I need to do. Ughhhhh, I thought I was getting close to the end!
the Isle of Mists. Started the quest, and about 5 quests failed. Is there a list of what fails after that point so I can do them before I start the Isle of Mists?

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Combat/alchemy is so powerful.
I throw on a couple decoctions, buff myself with Thunderbolt and a couple other potions, and then Whirl every enemy to death. I'm level 40 and destroy guards that are level 54 in seconds. The damage output is just ridiculous.

So I am playing through Witcher 3 before playing the expansions on PC. One thing I am noticing that I didn't remember the last time I played (before the patch) is the draw distance for things like torches isn't very far. Is there a way to increase the draw distance so there isn't any pop in?
Lastly I am noticing a lot of items clipping through other objects. For instance hair completely passing through armor, or swords sheethes passing through armor. Is there a way to fix this?

I wonder what save to use to start this adventure.
I got 3 options -
A) Finished base game + HoS, B) finished HoS but not main game (from second playthrough) or C) save right at the last quest of HoS and last quest of the base game (from third playthrough) with crazy amounts of cash (around 125k).
I always was a bit worried to do the DLC after the base game because it puts you in this bizarre world state where suddenly everyone is gone and you miss out on some (tiny) extra dialogue. Anything like that in Blood and Wine or should I just quickly complete my 'C' save and use that?

Which ever one has the most money, so probably C
Not sure we know about any extra dialogue yet. I wouldn't worry about it though. If it is anything like Hearts of Stone, you can just look up the 3-5 minutes of extra stuff on Youtube eventually. Not a big deal
I've been experiencing a lot of bugs for some reason. More in 5 hours or so than I did in the 320 hours I played Witcher 3 last year. Just a lot of random stuff. For example; i've had Geralt and enemies enter battle in a super slow mo state, Geralt once jumped and teleported like 20 feet, sometimes can't use signs, npcs clipping through stuff, etc.
Nothing major, some funny, others silly.

I genuinely have no clue. I either got it from a message board or something else, because the way I even went to do it was because I was running around to do another quest and my quest marker switched to this without me even realizing it.

has someone figured out how to (vineyard spoiler)
I read everywhere you can do it, but I don't seen an option neither in the location itself nor with the butler, which makes me think it's locked behind story progression.
invite friends over to stay at the guest room?

Hearts of stone went from quests at 32 to quests at like 36.
Blood and wine has gone from the main quest being low mid 30s to the latest main quest I'm seeing being one level below me (I'm at 48)
Makes me think the main quests might end somewhere in the 50s.

If the OP had an FAQ this would be something worth adding to it, along with 'Do I need to have played HoS first' and such.
BTW for anyone who experienced an error dialog upon launch I found this helpful page.

Grinding smugglers caches in Skellige will net you a lot of gold if you're willing to shop around the goods to decent buyers.
There is also a gold cheat in White Orchard but I've never tried it.

Wait, what. I finished the base game + HoS at level 38. If that's the case then B&W is an extra 30% on top! O_O
I think I have found one bugged sidequest very early in the new area - since there are no walkthroughs yet, I don't know if it's an actual bug or if I'm just missing something.
It's a quest which starts by killing bandits (I think it's a "hidden treasure" point of interest). You are supposed to get into a gardener's workshop and one of the enemies drops a key and a letter/document. There are 2 doors in the area, but both give me the "it's closed" message - I tried looking around for a secret entrance but haven't found anything.
Am I missing a secret entrance or should the key be working on one of the doors?
The quest in question should something with a "gardener" (Unfaithful Gardener would be a direct translation from Polish).

Yes, I did. Interesting if that's the cause.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
This is something I've been arguing for awhile, and why Wild Hunt impresses me so goddamn much. Other games look better in the sense that backdrops are handled as just backdrops, and thus the processing cost and vision can be tailored specifically to the context of vistas, but The Witcher 3 manages to look so fucking amazing because almost everything you see is a real place to be visited and explored. It's not just a skybox. Even in Wild Hunt when standing on an edge and can see a dense forest in the distance, you know you can travel all the way there in real time, without a loading screen, and walk right up to each and every tree.
