He's just a plain sadist, the morgue guy (who is, incidentally, a vampire) planted clues to lead you to him.

Level 7 here, and nope. Alchemy isn't my style. Signs and Swords all the way.

That...is incredibly stupid design. I'm all about choices mattering, but it's hard for me to understand why listening to that story should determine Triss not staying.

That looks good.Finally got superior feline armour. Now to work my way up to mastercraft.
I finally crafted the first level yesterday and was a bit "eh" at the medieval Fist of the North Star look, particularly in dramatic cutscenes.

Definitely.
I was so overwhelmed by the amount of POIs as soon as I read the first notice board in Velen. No, the game's not going to tell me where to go next, it has to be me the one in control. I still need that minimap intact though, or else I'll have to open my map once every few seconds lol. I turned off everything else, action hints, potions, durations, and even health bar. After playing the game this long, I've reached that point where I can feel when I need to use my potions.

I'm not even done and I think this has finally surpassed Mass Effect 2 as my favorite game of all time.

Yep that's why I said it's the stupidest thing in the game. It's like
"well If you tell her you love her and she leaves then you will be sad so you will want to hear another sad story, but if you are confused and want to try and make it work and she leaves then you are mad and don't care about damn sob stories" Really weird.

Spoilers for a late game, world changing side quest.
I think it's really silly that protecting Roche from Dijsktra and his men forces you to kill him, especially given your odd friendship. The character should have known he'd have no chance against Geralt and stood down when you made it clear you wouldn't stay neutral and let Roche and Ves die.
Dude, what are you doing? What's with all this nonsense speculation?
I've played much more than you. Almost every assumption in your post about my build is wrong.
Your hypothetical about bombs and signs are wrong.
You've moved the goal post again. First it was detractors just like to mash. Then it was I'm losing out on efficiency. Both are wrong, so now it's... A bunch of wild speculation?
I have no interest in being talked down to by someone who openly has less experience with the game while simultaneously implying I can't understand this incredibly simple system. Feel free to continue making up details about me, what I want, or how I play. Know that I won't be reading it.

In Novigrad doing the story quest
Get Junior, went to his casino and played two opponents before his men descended on me and I had to kill them. Failed the step labeled 'play opponents at the Casino.' Is this unavoidable, or do you have to lose a game or something?

Honestly,
I just wanted to listen to his story because I love hearing him talk. He's so sarcastic and snappy. I loved him, so I wanted to listen.
Yeah he was a little upset about that for some reason.
I definitely feel like Alchemy is a second play through build unless your completely committed to it. Not great for the first run since most people don't even touch it for a couple of levels or frankly don't know where any of the recipes are, or don't have the patience to prepare before each fight. But the tree itself is extremely good you can have multiple Decoctions while still chugging down potions, Oils are really good aswell.
Im considering doing a second playthrough of the game really taking my time with it much more slowly and doing every quest and point of interest. definitely going to go alchemy.

The quest involving Sarah the
Godling
What did you do?
Did you tell the banker the house was forever haunted and Sarah get to live with the Dreamer Corrine in Novigrad? or did you tell the banker a Godling was causing trouble. So Sarah has to go live with Johnny? I think Sarah would be happier living with another one of her kind?

I'm level 20 and I haven't used a point there either. I think a few of my final points might go to oils though, because I use those like crazy.

Won both times I got to play, was interrupted the second time with the fight before i could play the third opponent.
I did it the other way. Was pretty happy with the resolution that way. Worth following up on the nearby message board for postings after you complete the quest, if you take it that direction.

Tips for what? Narrowing the content down? Don't pay attention to the question marks on your map. You can even turn them off entirely, if you like. The quest log indicates which are required for story progression. Main story quests give oodles of XP, so you don't have to grind sidequests just to keep up. If you just want a fast, enjoyable playthrough, then focus on those, and only do those sidequests you find immediately captivating.

I assume it stops if you kill the right person. Who'd you kill?

I did put some points in the poisonous oil skill at the start of the game. Being level 3-4 on death march, any shitty drowner could take me down so this helped speed up combats. I'm still benefitting from it dozens of hours later as poison can help a lot.
I think Shouta made an alchemy build and it can apparently be pretty badass. If it's anything like W2, the key is to raise your toxicity to become a force of nature.
To be honest, I'm improvising when it comes to spending points (I've fully maxed the first two rows of Quen and Axii) but I figure I'll respec at some point.

Heard that even after you beat the quest, the ritual murders still continued on.
Wonder if that was true?

FYI, starting the "Ugly Baby" quest fails the "Following The Thread" quest.
I understand why now, but there's no indication of that before advancing in Ugly Baby.

I came back awhile later to the house, got a scene with the

was a happy ending.
Man this game is beautiful. So glad I purchased a new 27" IPS monitor for it. The part in
And then the sun rose and all of the colors became vibrant. CDPR has to be the best developer out there from a technical perspective. This game looks better than even The Order: 1886, and that game is drop-dead gorgeous.
Skellige where you and Yennifer use the mask - amazing, even the cutscenes.

That was the one I was so pleased with! It's nice to see such positive resolutions, they're sort of infrequent in this game.
I mean, sucks for the banker, but at least all he lost was his investment.

Spoilers about correct identification:
If you question Nathaniel, you'll find that he doesn't actually murder anyone, and he says that the murderer must be the only other person who knows that he does his sick torture...So since you killed the wrong dude, you actually let the murderer get away. Kind of cool that it actually allows that to happen actually.
Yup. I was level 18 when I entered the island. Way overleveld for quite a few things here.
How did you guys manage to kill the wrong person, didn't you at least question him before pulling out your sword and trying to murder the guy?
I ran in there and chopped his head off. He had that rod right next to that girl, I wasn't gonna let him lay a finger on her.

In trying to save one girl you ensured that more girls would be murdered.

I hope it's another hairstyle pack. Seriously.
I need that Witcher 1 'do; long and loose just doesn't cut it.
Well, the ini files reference DLC costumes for Ciri and Triss. Also, more Gwent cards.
Fight from a random ! quest so it isn't much of a spoiler, but here's a decent example of how hilariously strong Axii is.
