Thanks, will try later in the day, man this game is definitely great and I was very cautious as I lost interest in Dragon Age Inquisition due to fetch quests.

I don't even remember which one I'm wearing now.. it's the one with white and blue diamonds. Ugly as fuck. The rest of the outfit doesn't look bad, but man, that shirt is hideous. Can't wait to replace it, but I haven't picked up anything better yet (and I keep forgetting that crafting is a thing).
You're gonna be wearing a blanket armor at some point for a few hours more than likely.

I downloaded the free OST that comes with my GoG copy of the game,
I listened to the entire soundtrack and it's fantastic, however there are some tracks that are seemingly missing.
For example I can't find the song that plays when you visit the village of Lindenvale
Perhaps I missed it, it's a dark and sad melody, befitting of a

That village that was destroyed by the Wild Hunt and basically turned into Winter

Man, I'm so bummed there wasn't a free OST with the PSN digital download of the game. The music in this game is amazing.

Just started the "matter of life and death" side mission,
you have to go to a masquerade party to escort an alchemist from the witch hunters.
That's not Lindenvale. I forget the name.. starts with an "H". Heathglen or some such. But yeah, I know the one.
I really like the little grimoire that comes with the guide. It's a nice summary about the major players and lore and it has an awesome art style to it.
The guide itself is just ok. It's got good general info, but not as helpful as it could be. For example, I'm having a bastard of a time with a certain werewolf fight. Turns out a certain bomb might be able to counteract its ability to regen health. The guide doesn't bother to mention it. It just summarizes the steps and possible outcomes. But, like I said, the grimoire is pretty neat.
Can't speak to the World of the Witcher. I'm kind of curious about it myself.

I was wearing this rad heavy armour I found for about ten hours (Armour of Mag Deira, I think it's called), but then I found some plans for a Bounty Hunter Gambeson that gives me +25, but its bright yellow and blue and not exactly stylish. I took the opportunity to get a shave and a haircut and reinvent myself until I find something better.

I murdered that troll. Couldn't understand what he was saying, and that Trollololo may may shit made me wanna execute him.
So I did.

Yeah that's what I'm wearing now-- such good stats....such ugly clothes.
That's the basics but they also play into the talents you take. There's talents that improve your Strong Attack the more Heavy Armor pieces you wear for instance.

Every piece of armour tells you exactly what it does... Light armour has improved stamina regeneration and mobility, and the other two offer better protection. Which is better depends a lot on the enemy you're facing and Geralt's current build.
Level 100 armor:
I am mostly wearing the griffin set and I actually do look like a witcher. Seems like the witcher school gear is your typical leather and chainmail look, while most other stuff is random tabards and steel plate and renaissance fair gear.
Perks associated with each and then yeah, light should give more stamina regen, medium should give more sign intensity, heavy is just a lot of defense. I don't remember the perks offhand, light armor gave crit chance and heavy gave more health I think? Blanking completely on medium.

I still need to psych myself up to even start TW3. I feel like I'll ruin the experience if I'm not in the proper mood. It's a bit of a bummer, because it means I've spent far less time playing it than I would other games... though on the other hand, the whole thing has been rather transcendant so I guess this strategy's not all bad.
Geralt looks weird in t-shirts. Do not dig.

So, Wild at Heart quest,
you guys kill him or spared him? I felt I had to kill him, if only to end his suffering and he might harm others in the future.

So I encountered both the major bugs, as far as unable to load from the start screen and wiping save files. In my experience, it seems to be related to the suspend/resume function on xbox one AND playing straight from when I could with the installation from disc. It's all good though, since I went back and cleared the starter area.
Without a doubt, if the monster has killed someone then it dies. No two ways to go about it.
Spoilers for other ending to that quest (are there only two?):
I let him live after the sister showed up and spilled the beans. Nillen says he'll kill her for what she did to Anna, and I took the "This is between you, I'm going to stay out of it" choice, but Geralt warns Nillen that he'll kill him on sight in the future. Nillen kills the sister and, despite Geralt's warning, follows him outside afterwards and begs Geralt to kill him, which he does without giving the player the choice (I would have done it at that point anyway).
Notice in pictures that geralt shows up in the inventory screen. Im playing on ps4 and he showed up on it the first time I looked in my inventory. Ever since then where he's supposed to be is just black. Weird.
I've barely gotten into crafting am I better off just selling stuff right now rather than dismantling stuff?
Also is there a storage locker or something? I got a feeling ill be over encumbered sooner than later and will find something good and be stuck with a tough decision.

some of the quests in Velen/Novigrad are too high for me I guess I should head to Skellige and finish some there and come back later..

A little disappointed in how quest rewards scale. Managed to do a quest about 10 levels above me, my reward from the master blacksmith who was going to forge me an amazing weapon was some shitty sword actually below my level.
Because he has. The loading screens are being told in a flashback format, so he's telling the story to someone when he's older.
Yeah definitely I think too many people put off Skellige for too long, it has alot of quests that are lower level then Novigrade.
Tbh, the grimoire that comes with it is what has me most interested, but it sounds like the World of the Witcher might essentially be a bigger, more in depth version of the grimoire so I'm considering just going for that... I wish I could just pick up the grimoire for cheap separately though, I'm not sure I want to buy the CE guide just for that.
The dwarf at Crow's Perch. The Baron's town. He can craft journeyman armor, and the blacksmith in the southeast part of Oxenfurt (not the guy in the building) can craft journeyman swords.
Is there a non-Hattori blacksmith in Novigrad? The place seems too big for just one.
Joke post?
Skellige is much higher level than Velen & Novigrad. It's still showing a skull for me on that quest at lv10.

Never played any other Witcher games and Geralt sounds exactly like Solid Snake to me lol its actually kinda funny in some situations.
I went through this thrice, eventually decided to prevent the sister-in-law's death because the werewolf's loot was limited to that key alone otherwise.
I really wanted that Werewolf Mutagen.

Axii really trivializes 95% of the fights in this game. Everything is a joke lol.
I can even Axii some "bosses".

Can't have a troll that close to the town. Sorry.
Plus his name is shit, his theme is shit, and I didn't want to do some dumb puzzle for him.

So yeah, I'm pretty invested in this game, had trouble making a pretty minor decision.
A Greedy God quest:
A Greedy God quest:
Do I reveal to the peasants that the god their village has been worshipping and giving offerings to for over a century was just a selfish dick or let them live the lie. In most games I would go with the obvious option of revealing the misdeed because whatever, but these are people who are having super tough times with the war, why destroy one of their few hopes by showing how they and their forefathers were exploited.
