I suggest you leave the quest until you get some Dancing Star bombs, preferrably enhanced version. It's much more reliable at inflicting the burning ailment
which should stop the regen

I love the game but the inventory is a fucking disaster. They really need to add some sorting options.
Goddamn CDPR deprived me of on opportunity to finally meet Field Marshal Duda. ._. And Percival.
I wish the map clearly marked where the explorable area ends cause an straight forward rectangle it is certainly not. The area in the east north on the level of Novigrad is unexplorable.
Finished the Family Matters quest but I've to say I'm not quite sure what all the was fuzz about. I hope I will "get it" in the optional continuation of the baron questline.
To not sound so overwhelmingly negative; game is very good and I dare say even now, clearly best CDPR's effort.

I need to know this as well. Why should I just horde letters and books?
Yeah, does it even do anything? I can't see a difference with the base version. Still use them because with my current build I recover 20% max HP every time I drink something

Currently lvl10 after 29hrs and family matters was just a fantastic quest.
released the whispering willock and agreed to help the baron get Anna back. Chose the flower doll which allowed them to say goodbye before Anna died. Went back to see baron and he had hung himself.
I know he was a wife beater but felt sorry for him near the end

Loving this game.
found an abandoned town covered in bandits. Killed them all, and then the townspeople showed back up to start rebuilding! I totally did not expect that, and this was my first "whoa" moment in the game. I wonder if they'll actually rebuild over time and go back to normalcy. Probably not, but still awesome.
Loving this game.

Didn't people say there was going to be a proper Day 1 patch? I just noticed I'm on 1.01, I thought there was supposed to be another patch in addition to the one reviewers used pre-release

After reading everything it should update bestiary or quests and then they are safe to sell.
Anything quest related will be in the other part of inventory.
do it? 2 levels below is nothin
quest name changes color depending on how apt you are to do it

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Certainly the furthest I've ever got in a Witcher game so far, off to Novigrad after a few more sidequests, so they've done some things better this time round.
As usual, story and world are excellence, combat is amongst worst in the industry. Hitboxes are some of the worst I've ever experienced, the animations are ill-matched to the flow of combat, and its just... christ. Popping the same boring set of spells on, using crap spell wheel to swap if I want an offensive one, accidentally lose shield, enemy takes half of health off, rinse and repeat to boring victory or cheapshit death and massive reload.
If they ever make another Witcher, please: Fire/politely let go the combat and movement staff. Theyre shit and holding the entire outfit back. Its also not a case of budget as well, as other smaller devs managed to clone Dark Souls combat in things like Lords of Fallen.

Just do them. As long as there isn't a 5 level difference or more, it's doable
Can anyone help? I'm sat at the dialogue option!

You dont have to be exactly or above the recommended level of the quests or the monsters you fight.It just has to be green for you to be able to beat it even with some diffculty
I've sadly only had the chance to play the game for a few hours total the other day, but at level 1 on Death March I've pretty much done nothing but roam around after reaching White Orchard. I've been killing level 3 ghouls, level 5 wolves. If a quest is level 3 I'm sure you can handle it on any difficulty.

Okay, hitboxes on larger enemies are not that good. Basilsk hitting me with shadow swipes.
So earlier I stumbled over this yellow exclamation mark quest where a bunch of people are being attacked by ghouls from a cave.
I was too weak and decided to come back later.
Now I have arrived at the big city I went back.
Instead of triggering that short cutscene the guy with the exclamation mark just attacked me...
What happened?

Yeah, I'm lvl 3 and said "Fuck it" once I saw these drowners were lvl 10. Guess i'll come back to finish White Orchard once I'm lvl 6 or 7.

Triss: I heard that before
Geralt:
Bioware is amateur hour compared to witcher. W3 has triple the content of bioware games yet none of it is filler. Half the quests in DAI were of the "hey I know you are busy saving the world but take this medicine to my sick mom across the map so we can make the game longer" variety. It is not even a contest, CDPR is the best when it comes to games like this.

So I have played nearly 40 hours of this, about two of those hours on Skellige, and I still have 14 side quests in Velen/Novigrad and 11 Witcher contracts. And that's presuming I've discovered every quest, which I doubt I have. And I've hardly touched points of interest. This game just goes forever. And I have still yet to do a boring or poorly written quest. Madness.

Dijkstra has a history with Geralt. (Book spoilers: Time of Contempt)
Geralt broke his arm during the coup by Vilgefortz on Thanedd Island.

What sort of bombs do you need to destroy monster nests?
Having played through W2 again recently, there are a couple throwaway conversation lines and books about Keira Metz in that game describing her reputation as being the most lustful among the sorceresses. So awesome you get to meet her in this game, didn't expect that.

Grapeshots work. I think any bomb will do, although it says can be used to destroy nests in the item description when you try and craft it.

I stopped playing Inquisition when an NPC asked me to find a ram that escaped from his farm called Lord Woolsey. The quest was as simple as walking to the marked location on the map, seeing a ram, my character literally saying (along the lines of) "Lord Woolsey? Your family misses you. Please would you go home now?" Then walking back to the quest giver for a reward.
What
the
fuck?

That fine. you could probably go up to level 4 maybe 5. The ones with a red skull just avoid because it will probably destroy you.
Grapeshot, Samum or Dancing Star work for me.
I'm about to get this. It's the Whirl attack unlockable under Combat. You need 20 points unlocked in the branch to use it.
Whoa that's bad ass. Don't recall reading about her in 2.
Glad we got to meet in any event.
Bomb descriptions tell you. Grapeshots and Samum certainly work so just have one in available. Also, make sure to walk over and interact with the nest to destroy it after killing the enemies. Throwing bombs at the nest won't destroy it. Geralt needs to plant the bomb inside manually.

The Witcher 3 has a similar mission to be honest. Although it is executed much better.
(Times of Contempt spoilers)
A leg I think. So that he couldn't go after him. One of my favourite bits from the books.
This really looks great.

That probably the skill you unlocked if you invest enough in fast attacks.
