You can choose to ignore all. It's a game. You don't have to do any side quests ig you don't want.
An in-world justification for Geralt drifting is that he knows that he is going against the Wild Hunt and needs ressources to secure Ciri, thus taking requests to bolster coin and assets.
For gwent... Geralt is a gwent addict. Don't judge him.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
You'll meet her as part of a quest
Oh wow this game is gorgeous.
I'm away from my gaming pc at the moment but does changing your trophy change the head that Roach is carrying? I had the Griffin for a while then after another Witcher contract it changed to a giant chicken head but I don't know if that's because you auto equip new trophies.

I know you can ignore the side quests, which is why I mentioned doing so. But from a game design perspective it seems kind of silly to have all of this stuff to do that the main character would not be bothering with most of the time. Geralt may need resources, but he wouldn't need that much. It really seems like they laid out a pretty good main quest line and then just decided to fill in the rest of the map with random shit to do.
I'm saying if you actually play the game, it kills the pacing of the main story. Hey, let me stop what I'm doing that's super important and spend a week hunting monsters now, instead of waiting until after my primary mission is completed! Yeah, that makes total sense.
It's a game. But at the same time it really kills immersion.
Yes, exactly.
I can't agrre with you at all. There is not a single generic quest in the game. Everything has it's placebin the world. Don't grief that developera actually gave you options to do stuff in a giant world. It's a roleplaying game. If your Geralt don't need stuff and hates people you can rush him through the main story, my Geralt is a nice one that helps people, don't steal from peasants and occasionally breaks his legs when jumping into a cellar. It's an RPG, it's the story of a character you influence as you think it would fit.
It will appear when the time is right, though you can find her earlier it doesn't open up any quests or conversations until the game gives them to you

Alright, kinda dumb. But I know what you mean. Thanks.
So cool just as soon as you think you have seen every beast the world has to throw at you..you go to skellige and discover some real nasty things. And hell even discovering things in previous lands later on, love the beasts and magical creature this game has, I almost want a fully fledged Art and Information book on them, like a old looking book a Witcher would use.
Roche is a cool guy who got your back and Iorveth smells like fish.
Neither will impact W3 heavily or even at all, really.
The choice impacts W2 itself very heavily, though. Iorveth is said to have the better path as far as gameplay goes, but I sided with Roche because he's the better character.

You mean in The Witcher 2? You MUST play that game twice, once with each path. Both paths are well, well worth playing and offer very unique content.

you have the option to not kill immersion by only do the main quests.
also..you really can't have both in any way imaginable..you either have a big world full of things to do..or a sense of urgency and the imperative to not waste time..

I just finished Family Matters. Quest ending spoilers follow.
What a punch to the gut. Entire village dead, Anna dead, Baron hung himself, Dea no longer has any family to watch over. I feel like I helped absolutely nobody here. Was there a better resolution for those who choose to kill the Spirit of the Tree? That seemed a grave error on my part. It promised to 'free the children,' but where they went to or what became of them? Also, what was with the one creature, Uno or whatever it was called? I was having a chat with the Baron at one point and he and the sergeant spilled in there, didn't see it before or since.
I'm finding the leveling system impenetrable.
White ochard area is pretty much cleared. Done tons of question marks and every quest I could find there. I've just barely managed to scrape to level 4 though.
The newer area i'm in, Velen, past Vizima, is offering me quests that vary wildly in terms of level requirements. Some require 30+, some 7+, but barely any are around my level. I've went exploring for question marks and every time i'd be punching above my weight, encountering enemies clearly higher than me.
I've gone back to white ochard to try and scrounge some XP to level up multiple times but it's just not paying off at all. The XP rewards are often so minimal or absent completely.
Am I missing something? I want to explore and do a lot of sidequests before advancing the story, but it seems like the game is discouraging me to do this. So, is there anything worthwhile to do that'll reap me some XP? I have no clue how to even reach level 7 seeing as running around white ochard for at least an hour managed to barely bring me from 3 to 4.

Yes.
can anyone give me an indication of how far though the main game I am?
I've done mostly side-quests and completed the existing plotlines. If I'm not far though I might sink some time into the campaign, or if I am I might put more time into side quests
completed the baton plotline, currently in novigrad now, just met the dreamer woman

Don't worry too much about finding wrong-leveled quests. The high level content is mixed in with the low level. There's things for a level 3 or 4 to do in Velen, just keep poking around. You may end up punching above your level, as you say, but so long as it's not TOO far above, you'll probably manage. Some points of interest may not reward much experience, but here and there you'll find quests you can do or monster nests you can clear. Steadily make your way down to the main story quests in the region and you'll probably be appropriately leveled for them by the time you arrive, or shortly thereafter.

Ladies of the Woods quest and the 'Return' quest you can do after... Wow. Some of my favourite moments in gaming. Stunning - atmosphere, writing, gameplay all top notch.
Yeah, the characters are great, as is the whole build up that makes you really shutter about you have done, no matter what you have done.
I killed the spirit and this is what happened on my end: The kids in the swamp were killed, Anna is basically broken/insane and the Baron took her to a healer in the mountains. There's some scenes with him and his daughter as they meet up fighting enemies in the swamp to find Anna as well.
I'm not sure what happened to that weird thing since I only saw him once as well. I actually forgot about that completely.

I just did that quest, and he actually did ask me to come with him. He said he and his men would wait for me at Downwarren, and it started a new quest for me called 'Return to Crookback Bog'. Kind of dreading going and doing it, because I didn't exactly leave things on great terms with the crones 
Just been experimenting with graphical settings. With my framerate capped to 30 in Rivatuner Statistics Server, I was actually able to turn on way more stuff than I thought I could and my 670GTX is still holding strong. Shadows up to Ultra, HBAO+, NPC density up to High and a couple of the post-processing options.
No, no, after that.I just did that quest, and he actually did ask me to come with him.

Where did he go after you saved him?
Someone posted this image and I went from there. The trick with DS4 at least is you need to make sure to check box the "Scan Code" button checked when putting in the keyboard keys. It'll be on the top when you double click an input to change it.
So for me, it's like M for right touch, f5 for left touch. Swipe Left is 3, Swipe right is 4, etc (since the hotkeys for spells are 3-7, swords are on 1 and 2.

Actually, that's the main issue right there. It's a "role-playing game", but you aren't playing as YOUR character, you are playing as Geralt. If you are truly role-playing, you wouldn't play the character as you would play yourself. I never mentioned the quality of the quests either. I think the majority of them are entirely worthwhile to do from a gaming perspective.
But for role-playing? Uh no, especially if you're a completionist. It would be like Luke veering wildly off course away from the Death Star trench run to go get a lap dance at the cantina. Because reasons.
I mean, I just found out some vital information and need to act on it NOW, but I'm going to take a detour for a full day to get my mack on after a horse race. What?
This is exactly right. That's all I was really talking about. There's this huge disconnect for me if I actually enjoy exploring the world.
