Still really early in the game ( did a few side quests but I'm still on Lilacs and Gooseberries for the main quest).
Haven't read the thread at all so I don't know if has been mentioned but found it really adorable when I saw ( I don't really consider this a spoiler but somebody might
awwwwwww. Too bad they attacked me and I killed them

I'm poor and bad at dodging, rolling, and blocking. It's the perfect skill for me.
which other games have needed this system?

Yah, totally agree, dodging in large groups is cumbersome due to the sloppy movement in the game. I get really frustrated with both the dodge and camera/lock-on during large group situations.
And yes, I also had a horrible time with that WW. Made it much easier once I popped Cat, but my biggest trouble was handling him AND the wolves at the beginning. Healing items in this game also aren't very generous ;/

Every open world game with mounts or vehicles. But I suppose a lot of them (intentionally) trivialize travel so that it isn't as big of a deal.

So should I sell or break down all that stuff that says those two options? How do you make money in general? I'm assuming ingredients and such should be hoarded?

I generally only break apart stuff that labled under the name of "Junk" unless it's a high valued item like animal pelts that might warrant worth selling instead.
Or useless rusty swords in which the item sold is worth less then the sum of it's parts for crafting materials.
As for making money - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=164994411&postcount=15045
An early game money maker is to use Igni and burn any bee hives off trees to loot them and sell them to the herbalist.
Merchants slowly get their money back over time, but as long as you keep a heathy stock of honey combs you can always go back to the herbalist in White Orchard and unload the honey combs.
Also have no compunction about killing any rabbit or pack of deer you come across they drop raw meat or skins. It's basically free food and money. Rather then waste your money to restock on food use the roaming creatures as your constant food source.
Haven't received a proper answer to this but someone on the Witcher forums said no. Only the choice between Yen and Triss affect anything.

So I'm playing on the "default" difficulty - I forget what it's called and its odd to have a 4 point scale where there is no proper "middle" - but anyway I find it just right. Coming off Bloodborne, I feel I've had my challenge for a while and I expect Geralt to be more of a proper badass. Even at this setting I find if I get careless I'm gobbling ham sandwiches and chicken legs like a maniac, so I still have to be careful against groups. Anyway the more I play the more I appreciate these quests, in the middle of Family Matters right now and this is some heavy shit. It makes the small moments of humor more appreciated (herding the goat, Geralt had some choice comments, it's subtle but I enjoy when he gets frustrated/impatient with situations)

Given the fact that my inventory still crashes 50% of the time when I open it... I'll probably be there sometime next week
I actually missed them all in white orchard.
Just got them 6, saw some vid in youtube regarding the locationa. Thanks.
While I still find some of the side activities too repetetive, the quests, both primary, secondary and contracts, are pretty much the best I've seen in a game of this type. When they announced that it was open world, I expected it to be at the expense of the storytelling, but here I am liking pretty much every quest besides the frying pan recovery.
.
The Bloody Baron and Johnny/witches in the swamps were particularly good
Plus it honestly takes the fun out of needing to keep yourself healthy with food management.
In Velen, there is a town in the deep southwest of the map called Condyle. Almost straight south of that town is a bandit camp, has anyone been able to clear that camp so that the icon turns grey? When I first got to the camp, the humans were being attacked and were eventually killed by drowners. Afterward I made my way to the camp and looted the chest and boxes which should have triggered the icon to turn grey but its not doing it.
Edit: Did some googling, I'm not the only one running into this bug with this camp. Hopefully no trophies associated with clearing those PoI on the maps.

There is actually a PoP in that cave you leave out in the quest though I'm not sure about how to get back there.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Folk asking a lot of "should I X instead of Y" and "how do I get my waifu". Just role play, dudes. Witcher games are always the best for that and the reality is you can't see all outcomes and get all results in one playthrough. Not knowing the consequences of your actions is half the fun. If you wanna end up with Yen but are lusting after Triss, maybe stop thinking with your virtual dick.
Where's the fun though? You need to switch to inventory, set a food item to the slot, press it, wait, press again etc, go back to inventory and reselect the potions for quick select. Otherwise you use swallow and meditate purely to replenish health and use up an alcohest.
I think I'll grab the skill.

I do have a criticism of the game. I don't like using food to heal. You can have 30 chicken legs and spam them in battle with geralt magically consuming them invisibly in battle. Of course you don't have to use food this way. I guess you can just use Swallow and sell the food. Maybe you can make meals like in Skyrim that heals you over time but can't be consumed in battle. I'd prefer that.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
There's 5 that can be missed in White Orchard:
Find the brother, the arsonist quest, the merchant asking for the box, the herbalist on death's bed quest, and the frying pan lady quest.
I think a good rule of thumb is complete any secondary quests that you can but contracts don't expire and can be completed any time.

Found some ruins.
Wow. What a game.
Elven ruins in Velan.
Wraiths several levels above me, struggle to end them all, manage.
Look around, nightwraith, guarding something, kicks my ass and I barely damage so I fall back a bit.
Hang about for a bit and hear a weird noise that sounded like flapping, wait around, still continues, looks around and a level ??? Griffin is here.
Flapping around an area bit away, go there to scope it out and it chases me, I retreat back and then head to it again to spy it some more. Chases me out and one shots me.
Respawn nearby, with my last save, hear flapping again and I race off in another direction.
Very soon after, pack of red dots and howling. I'm being chased by a pack of like 8 wolves and a Warg.
Hang back and pick them off, take serious damage, and hurry off to safety at last.

Assuming you have the right rune types (one type for armour and one for swords) you just double click the rune, I think. You only need a smith to remove runes (they are destroyed in the process).
The game does have a few mechanics that are far too bloated. In a game this huge it really does not need the added padding to make it "better". Some of the girth should have been cut in order for a much more streamlined experiance- especially since it will last about 200 hours.

I'm new to this series but I'm glad the consumables dont fill your life to max, makes you think in the battle instead of hacking away. It's the perfect blend of a JRPG/western RPG. At first I played like a hack and slash, but realized it didn't work and now hang back and wait for an opening and make a move. i was iffy on the game at first but once I understood the combat I appreciated it a lot more.

Am I the only one who finds Yennefer
totally off-putting? Triss has a manipulative side, sure, but Yennefer comes off as very femme fatale and I don't find her interactions with Geralt to be nearly as romantic as the ones with Triss.
As a minor example, there are two party quests in the game that require you to get dressed up, one with Triss and one with Yenn. Triss will compliment the hell out of you if you choose to abide her request to wear a doublet, but will also be very understanding if you refuse. Yenn, on the other hand, moans about your choice unless you do exactly what she instructed. Why so pushy? I don't see Geralt being all "wear this bearskin loincloth when we go adventuring," Yenn.
Bottom-line: Triss is more Tali/Liara. Sincere, respectful and warm.
Yenn is more Morrigan/Miranda. Controlling, calculating and cold.

im new as well and im still unsure on how I feel about the combat. One thing for sure its not the reason why I play the game. If anything its the only crutch in terms of the game being perfect. I would not mind if it played like a hack and slash considering the situations it throws at you.

I've spent so long poring over the skills. There are so many cool builds you can do but I think I finally settled on something. I'll have to sit down and crunch the numbers to make sure it's possible tomorrow. I originally was going to do a sign build but I wasn't enjoying it. Saved up and bought a respec potion at level 4 to start working towards my oil based alchemy build.

Yeah, a lot of people blow at actually providing context to what they're spoiling.
