How can i Jump/climb while in combat?

 

[Lashley]

I've failed one quest.

I'm so sorry Lena, the quest was confusing ffs.

30 hours later I learned the fate of the wounded lady on the table at the herbalist in White Orchard. It kind of blew my mind. I suppose I'd have learned what happened way earlier if I'd gone to a specific area earlier, but I didn't. And I'd forgotten about her. And now I know what happened. Amazing.

How do you learn about her? I did the mission but there is no talk of her.

 

[Certinty]

Put the difficulty down to the lowest one and I still couldn't beat the

once he got back up so had to choose the other option and let him

kill his wife's sister.

Hopefully the main missions aren't this hard, wish I never did that side quest.

My journey has just begun, but it looks freaking amazing:

Finally finished the Bloody Baron quest

I've gotten less out of full games.

 

[PodcastFips]

This game sends you in all directions possible, holy shit I still feel like I haven't even seen shit. So amazing.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

40 hours in and I feel like I'm nowhere near the end. Dat value for money.

 

[hobblygobbly]

I'd like to know this too. I thought it was just "lesser" that was 0 for some reason, but "greater" is too. I tried putting one in my sword, thinking maybe the 0 was like relative to base damage and couldn't show a number in the inventory or something, but it's still +0 damage...

Bonus points to CDPR for making sure that the tower interior is pretty dark regardless of time of day. It's impossible not to get the right atmosphere there.

I just did the bog quest in broad daylight and that ruined it a little bit. :/

Indeed, I spent quite a bit of time outside looking around so it added to my immersion before entering, it was awesome + looking at the

Spoiler

tower with some lights on at the top

there was quite a bit of fog for me at the time + clouds, plus the backdrop of the moon behind tower. Gorgeous. A loooot of atmosphere in this game and it's quite dynamic.

I'm about to go do the bog quest myself now.

I failed this quest. What happens to her?

 

[BrandonPckrfn]

Shit, just found out there is a missable gwent card in the first area. Must resist urge to start over.

He's in Velen in a quest that you totally think is filler when you get it.

 

[therealminime]

How do you learn about her? I did the mission but there is no talk of her.

In Velen at the very south of the map is a Nilfgardian encampment, there you will find out what happened. I didn't end up exploring down that area until just this afternoon.

I failed this quest. What happens to her?

Spoiler

If you give her the risky potion, she seemingly disappears. In the army base in the south is a guy who talks to you. He is her lover and says she has survived, but is not 100% recovered, it's unclear what her condition is, but he curses you for not letting her die and goes on his way. Both ways, it's a bummer quest.

 

[ColonialRaptor]

I've failed one quest.

I'm so sorry Lena, the quest was confusing ffs.

Spent the whole day clearing question marks yesterday and cleared only 30% of the bottom left of velen, I did some minor quests as I came across them as well but hot damn what a massive massive game.

How is anyone already at skellige? I've been playing heaps and heaps so I don't understand how people have the time.

 

[BrandonPckrfn]

The innkeep, can't get it once you leave!

yea its bs... but apparently they are gonna patch in a new innkeeper so u can get it. they need to hurry cause that card is so strong and i could use it

Cat gear question:

It's a questline, the questline opens up after a quest from the

If I remember correctly you don't need it for the Cat gear

 

[Brandon F]

I failed the bitter harvest mission am I missing much?

Nah. I failed it too being lvl 4 at the time which was too low to prevent the NPC's from dying.

Completing it will get you a few more crowns(50 vs 15), and there is an attached quest that lets you get a ticket across the river you miss a big discount on if the NPC dies. There are other quests to get that same ticket though, so its not a big deal at all.

You can go back to white orchard...

Welcome to a fantastic game and OT!

 

[Bod]

This game is quite simply put....stunning.

The way the main and side quest weave in an out off each other is amazing.

Don't get me started on Gwent, i am getting stupidly addicted to this simple but brilliant card game.

25hrs in and i have only scratched the surface of this wonderful game.

 

[senahorse]

to the person asking about the 70 weight saddle bag. I found it.

Spoiler

its in the Baron's castle area... a lady next to the dwarf crafter sells it.

You can also buy it from the

armourer in the market in the centre of Novigrad

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Witch Hunter Geralt looks pretty badass (though I need better pants)

There's a quest that explores this.

Witch Hunter set looks quite awesome. I wish we could wear the hood cloak from the first CGI trailer. I know it's in the game because an NPC listed as "shady person" walks around in Novigrad wearing it. Geralt looks SO badass in it.

Don't remember the town name but

Spoiler

it's north of Fyke. There's a lady and a guy fighting and the lady asks you to clear out her old manor

 

[BrandonPckrfn]

You can go back to white orchard...

You can, but you can't get the card.

 

[Ikuu]

You can, but you can't get the card.

They're going to add a way to get them in a patch/DLC.

Second big area side-ish end of questline :aside from the obvious moral questions, are there negative consequences to

sleeping with Keira and letting her go to Kaer Morhen? With or without the notes?

 

[littlemagician]

Arrived in Skellgie.

 

[ecurbj]

I just bought this game today (Xbox One version). I just installed and will play it sometime tonight. But do I need to play any of the previous entries (the original Witcher PC or Witcher 2 Xbox 360) to understand the story at all? Not sure if this was asked or not.

By the way. I wasn't sure which version to get between the PS4 or Xbox One. I own both. I figured the Xbox One. But is there any notable differences?

The leader one you can buy off the innkeep girl? Or beating the tutorial guy in the same inn?

Novigrad.

You can't miss it, but

it stems off of another seemingly unrelated quest.

Continue with another main quest. Whenever a quest ends in a dead end, that's the answer.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

You can go back to white orchard...

yea but the innkeeper selling the card isnt there anymore because story.

but again, projekt red said they will patch in a new innkeeper with the cards

 

[Lashley]

Which ones that? thanks

Lindenvale, first village east of Crow's Perch.

yea its bs... but apparently they are gonna patch in a new innkeeper so u can get it. they need to hurry cause that card is so strong and i could use it

Not to taunt you, but it's the best card I've seen. I rely on it in every match.

 

[Shouta]

For folks wondering the witcher sets do evolve in the game, I just upgraded my Griffin set and it has some changes to it for sure.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

I'm fixing to play

 

[darkwing-buck]

I failed this quest. What happens to her?

Spoiler

The cure you give her ends up being too powerful and loses her mind.

 

[Emperor_Uriel]

Which ones that? thanks

Ladies of the Wood.

Speaking of which, a question for those who finished all of the Velen quests:

Spoiler

I killed the forest spirit and rescued the Baron's wife, but the kids are gone (dead, presumably). Without spoiling what happens during the unconfirmed but heavily foreshadowed moment where you go back and take down the witches, is there any way to save the kids and help the Baron?

 

[Nbz]

Ok, so I just failed the Fake Papers quest, but paid the guy 100 for the pass. But when I go up to the guard there is no way to get through, he just repeats the same dialogue. I can't find the pass in my inventory anywhere, do I have to equip it?

Any help would be appreciated

Anyone able to help with this?

 

[littlemagician]

Novigrad.

You can't miss it, but

Spoiler

Spoiler

whats the quest called?

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

I got both of those, i didnt miss any others did i?

no and if u did ull be able to get back and buy it. the leader card and the one u win from the first guy are the missable ones in the beginning

Never saw or imagined Geralt looking like this.
