Interesting.
That her mom?
Alternative turn out spoilers
The way it worked for me was that we saved Anna, but her mind was broken so the Baron took her off to see a healer to try and help her, after swearing to his daughter that he'll never drink nor hit her ever again. The daughter wanted to go with them, but the Captain of the Order wouldn't let her due to now being a member of the Order and having duties elsewhere.
EDIT:
Oops, missed that someone already said as such.

That's exactly how they claim it works. Is this another broken thing then?

It's great, i've turned the music off because i find it gives the game a more relaxed and spacious vibe.
Have you managed to do the hidden treasure up the top of Velen on the island part? The monster there for me is ??, just wondered what level it is.
Wow nice. Maybe that's the patch with those ~600 fixes/changes they talked about.
Use your weakest cards while letting him use his strongest. You'll lose the first round, but with a little bit of luck you should win the other two.

Is this a secondary quest? i did a few quests on an island in Velen, but there weren't any ?? monsters.
Hidden treasures are not really quests, just points of interests. But yes, optional.

roleplaying as geralt with the dialog choices, and the general prep for monsters with the beastiary/oils/bombs is so much fun.
opted for a fast attack build and am loving the combat, you have to be a slippery bastard and not get greedy but when the opening is there just go to town. feel graceful as fuck dodging and killing.

It's a treasure hunt quest. I am only level 6 tho so maybe it is just ?? for my level?
You should be getting close to making it once in the second area. I think there's enough in the first area but you'd have to scour almost all of the place. Didn't take too long into Velen to craft it for me (around level 4ish and not many quests done).

Can I come back to that gwent player in vizima palace? The guy is just stacking my front row with spies so he ends up with loads of fucking cards and when I do have him on the ropes he pulls out a lvl 10 card that is unaffected by the environment. Should i have found more gwent players before this point? I've only played the initial guy in the bar in white orchard.
Edit: shit, it appears my question was answered on this very page. Sounds like the same guy. Fuck that guy.

Damn I dont want to, because the game is awesome so far but man,I might wait to keep going on the PS4 because some of the cutscenes are a choppy mess...small spoiler of the end of the tutorial area...
...might wait for the console patch,still not up this morning.
Just grab all the notice board things and it should lead you to a treasure hunt or something like that to get some...there's 2 sets of notice boards quests.
just after the fight in the tavern,the cutscene when Geralt cuts the guys head off and it goes rolling on the floor,it actually froze for 5 seconds during that part,really taking some of the ooomph out of the whole thing.

FUCK. THAT. GUY.
I had him dead to rights last night tied 1-1 on our last round. Dude plays a 10 strength archer as his last card that has a special ability allowing him to pull a card from his discard deck and plays another 10 strength card. I lose 21-2. I gave up until I can get a deck together and destroy him.
I need to try more Gwent. Lost the tutorial game and haven't tried again. Any tips?
And that's great to know about the beehives/honeycombs! I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with them.
I just finished prologue, all the question marks and man I love this game. The feeling of exploration and discovery is incredible, some of the best I've experienced in a game. I've read a few of the books and the devs did a wonderful job of making this feel like a real world, with its deep lore and intriguing characters. The combat takes some getting used to, but it feels better now. I'm playing on the 3rd difficulty level and I'm glad enemies aren't a total pushover.
And it's barely begun! Tonight I'll meddle with some of the HUD settings, craft my 2nd viper blade, don my goofy ass, jester looking jacket and leave White Orchard behind. I told my wife last night, this game is exactly what I was hoping it would be.
Guys, the last two nights...I've dreamt of Geralt. Not that kind of dream mind you (he was a patient I was trying to help), but still. That's how deep this game has its hooks in me.
Glad to hear so many others are enjoying it too.

Just curious, since I will end up replaying this on a harder difficulty down the line... do you just need to stock up ona fuckton of food to heal yourself, or is there any sort of rest in an inn mechanic I just didn't notice on Normal?
Just played about 2 hours so far. I'm really overwhelmed by all the menus, millions of markers on the map, the controls, combat, etc. It probably doesn't help that I don't really play that many open world games either. Enjoying it, but definitely a steep learning curve, at least for me.

Main square. Left of armor shop
No rest at Inn that I saw so far...you just need those alcohest whatever thing,it tells you quickly what was used in the bottom left corner when you meditate.(on normal)
I'm kind of shocked that my 970 doesn't seem to be struggling AT ALL with this on max settings, but then I tend not to notice anything short of a moderate framerate drop so I guess I'm an easy audience.
I wish I wasn't doing anything this weekend so I could enjoy 3 days of witching, but alas.

That game is more deep than it seem at first. The goal is to win 2 rounds so if you can force your opponent to have no cards left at the last round and you have 1 left, you win.
I want this game to be real.
There is a skill that slowly regens health when the sun is out. It is a lifesaver. Also eat a lot of food and have Swallow ready to go all the time. I'm on the second hardest level and haven't really had much troubles so long as I'm facing appropriately leveled enemies.
Hopefully this new pc patch takes care of a good lot of the menu freezes and crashes. GoG galaxy is taking too long to DL it. D;

I've heard from some that it takes 30-40 hours minimum, just for the main quests.

That I know, it uses that to restock bombs/potions etc. Im on normal, and quite honestly I dont meditate as often as I could... I eat a lot of food to heal. Without Meditate as an option at all, seems I would need to stock up on a LOT of food when I reach town in order to deal with the damage.
Edit:
Ah gotcha. I saw that, also a potion too... Troll-something. Seemed useful, iirc a pain to craft though, could be wrong.

This is a very typical feeling for this type of game. Don't worry, you'll be spending dozens of hours with the game, give it a few more and it will all start to come together.
