Where'd you get that armor?
The comparisons are going to get ugly, I foresee a lot of horrible locked threads around here :b
Bethesda's next game is going to get compared to hell and back to this if it's being announced this E3, I'm sure they have something good though, Bethesda always steps up their game majorly game after game even though there are still plenty recurring issues every time. Skyrim had a huge impact on everyone, CDP included and we can see how good that is.
Whatever, I think exciting times are ahead for RPG fans, this game seemingly having a big impact unlike the first two games which were like just cult classics. It is sure to influence a lot of upcoming games with its design and that's great to me. A lot of open world games are just so poorly designed and that's the genre that's in high demand right now and could use a lot of new good ideas. It's just that you don't simply make a game like this. Not with ten thousand men could ubisoft do this. It is folly.
I got the impression that that quest was a direct piss take, tbh.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
This game is really something. I can't believe how good the sidequests and just writing in general are. been absolutely in love with it for days now.
But the auto-center camera still annoys the shit out of me. I wish I had this on PC, cause I know someone is going to mod that straightaway, and it'll be a much better game for it.
Btw people... turn off the mini-map and question mark icons on the big map. So much better. I even turn off enemy health bars.

Bethesda's next game is Fallout4, pretty much confirmed now.
I really like the combat. I'm playing on the 2nd to hardest difficulty and it truly is challenging. I HAVE to use potions, traps, environmental explosives, and buffs for what should he mundane fights. Standard enemies are more difficult than what you fight in Sound games, but I think Souls games have the edge on bosses (well maybe not DS2).
Killing that Griffin felt great. Dying to wolves, not so much.

Yeah pretty sure it was a parody of that quest (or at least escort quests in general)
Weird quest to get mad at actually. If you read between the lines, that ram was a demon. If you knew that you'd then know it was ok to attack, kill it, and have an alt ending to the quest.

Potion of Clearance. You can get it from this vendor in Novigrad where the red dot is.
There probably is other places but this is the only one I know of.
Might have just been on the Iorveth path as I don't recall much discussion about the sorceresses on Roche's side. Can't recall who it was, but somewhere I had a long conversation about the Lodge of Sorceresses and they went into slight detail about each member. Keira Metz stuck with me since her description was along the lines of "she is too busy fucking to get involved with the events here" or some such. She is mentioned a few other times too along similar lines.
But yea, mostly came away surprised how many little clues and snippets for W3 were embedded in W2. Even Ciri is brought up several times, usually surrounding Geralt regaining his memories of Yen and the Wild Hunt, but the "Ashen haired girl" was always a mystery to me until now. Really confusing at the time though unless you read the books I guess, I had no clue.

They didn't clone it well, though. Game played like a clunky mess.
I hope soon someone can piece together an Ultimate Gwent guide so I wont miss any of the cards.
I'm running out of dudes to throw down with and steal their cards, people look at me in fear.
MFs be lookin at me like I'm a main character of Yugioh.
So much work trying to check every nook for my next victims, it's pretty sad when almost every game I get ez 100+ point rounds.
City maps with all the merchants would suffice I guess too.

So, I have a couple questions.
How do you upgrade witcher gear?
I've seen this mentioned a lot.
Also, I love this game and the feel of it; just the fact that it feels like RDR+Old School 90s RPG makes it incredibly fresh and an automatic masterpiece.
I'm 70 hours in or there about and I've just recently gotten to novigrad and I have a long list of high and mid level contracts. I've done most of the Family Matters questline, and I am assuming that it probably weaves into the Hunting a Witch questline.
I've also encountered several random events and quests that have surprised me with their depth, none of the content in this game is filler. NONE.
Which is amazing when you compare it to something like DA:I which was so awful because I realized everything was literally fetch quests, the characters were boring, and the story was plodding and eventually amounted to nothing.
The story in this game is like, not even comparable, it's leagues ahead of anything in the genre currently.

I also met a singing troll. Well, this challenges my potential GOTY/GOAT nomination of MGSV:TPP.

To be fair I liked that mission for how dumb it was. I disliked the game overall though, didn't get far into the story at all.

Man,
Triss and Keira are already on Kaer Morhen, I assume Yen is gonna be there too, this gonna be awkward.

I had trouble on my first try, but beat him easily on my second. You've just gotta keep attacking without getting hit too often, and you'll easily outdamage his regen. I'm playing on Death March, so it's not that I have made things easy for myself. Just gotta figure out his pattern, and then he's not too bad at all. Basically I think I just did dodge-attack-attack every time he lunged at me, and he was soon downed. And of course Quen, Cursed Oil (I think), etc.
EDIT:
Oh yeah, I did have that. Very nice upgrade over your starting sword.
For fucks sake, don't spoil story shit in this thread!
It took me about an hour to do that fucking mission. It was buggy as shit.

Anyone know if there are weapon sets similar to the
around level 7-10? Feeling due for an upgrade and I don't want to miss anything.

Do characters I decide not to kill come back later on? Would like to know, I'd like to take out most of these guys but want to run into them again.

Are names of people spoilers now?, ok sorry...
It definitely was. For anyone that's wondering, it involves
bringing up a goat whose name is Princess.

The ambition to bug issue has me forgiving whatever small things I've encountered. Elder Scrolls games and Dragon Age were way way worse.

I'm totally rebuying this game on PC once I've built a new one later this year. Not that the PS4 version doesn't look great, it definitely does (would be even better if they could get the hitching out though), but I'd like to experience it with everything cranked to the absolute max.

"X and Y are at important location Z sometime later in the story." That's definitely a spoiler, yes. I haven't even met X yet in my adventure, and now I already know where she'll eventually end up (which might not be a shocking revelation, but still). That kinda sucks.

Are there any .ini tweaks to remove the "dirty camera" effects? Like, when you look at the sun and you see spots on the screen. I find it rather annoying.

I'm literally bankrupting every vendor, I have 20k coin, and I'm always running out of space.
I wish there was a permanent storage somewhere.

No, I told her I didn't want to be with her anymore. Geralt now has all his eggs in the Triss basket.

I'm not very far yet (level 7 I think), but so far I've been doing mostly Fast Attack and Quen. Those are just invaluable.

HOLY SHIT! I knew the map/world would be huge, but I just got to VELEN and am astounded at how large it's area alone is on the map.

I love the way they put the forest in the game, like sometimes are very dense others with empty fields, i love watching the sunrise through the forests.
Been trying to kill the griffin, but having some problem, playing on max difficulty dont know if thats it, but even taking advantage of his weakness and using some oils, i still lose every time...guess i have to level up maybe one level or so.
His vitality takes way too long droops.

Got most in alchemy and a bit in magic as well.

Well, Geralt did break his leg a while back ago that hasn't healed properly and requires him to wear a brace. Still, he likes Geralt.
They didn't need this game to tell them that their quest and combat design was braindead.

Its a fairly realistic armor design. There are plenty to choose from though.
You definitely made the
..right..
didn't have great consequences in the long run.
thank god im saving points
havent invested much in combat this time around since red mutagens are scarce
after taking a longer look at the skill trees I've been doing some thinking on how to plan my build out.
These two skills seem like it would be extremely powerful when used together
Rage Management
Levels: 1
Description: If you don't have enough stamina to cast signs, you'll use adrenaline points instead.
Adrenaline Burst
Levels: 1
Description: Increases how quickly you gain adrenaline points. On top of that, signs now also generate adrenaline points.

Thanks for the advice guys, I've given up for now but I'll return later.
It's a diagram right? Where can I go to craft swords? Everywhere I've been so far in Velen/Novigrad just crafts armour.

So I've seen some notice boards pop quest again after a while, wonder how much that happens, I'll probably just continue the main quest or else I'll be doing secondary quests forever, also I seem overleveled for everything now.
