Last Wish quest:
My desire to do the No Yen, No Triss, (already said no to Keira) playthrough is being sorely tested right now.

Someone help me with this math, please? Wolf hides sell for 121 crowns a piece yet the merchant gives me 11 crowns per hide. Is there another vendor that gives more money for wolf hides?

I'm still in Velen lollygagging about to completed Wander in the Dark.

*EDIT*

I'm four days in and just relaxing enjoying the game.

Only one guy seems to give full money for things. Church northeast of novigrad at the back. An alchemist. Ony ever has 500 coins, replenishes around every 5 days.

If you sell the right kind of item to the right kind of merchant you'll get more. Eg swords to blacksmits, alchemy items to herbalists, etc

Haha, just overheards ome kids discussing what whores do and why their dads like the Passiflora the most because they got the dirtiest whores.

The
spirit gives a perfectly good answer to this if you ask it - Nature doesn't care. Which makes perfect sense since you fight a bunch of wolves to get there, wolves don't care if you're a man/woman or a child, they will kill you to protect the tree
Spoiler regarding Crookback Bog:
Is that a good explanation though? She mentions nothing of the nightmares the Ealderman mentioned, nor does she explain why the people are drawn towards the tree. Her answers are riddle-like, which seemed too suspect from me. After getting tricked in Fyke's tower, I decided that this spirit had to go.

The book, She Who Knows, seems to have it right.

Amount of small details like that, things that actually may happen etc. in world, in W3 is mind blowing. You want see it all and hear it all because it just sucks you in.

Yeah, I was about to walk on but then heard a bit of info and though, hell why not stick around and hear what they say.

The characters in this game are so much more interesting and unique than the majority of fantasy RPGs. I already knew this from the previous games, but this game just excels at it.

The
Crone's
design stands out as particularly great. I love how freaky this game can be. Also the trolls are amazing.
 
By the end of the game my fast attacks were critting for about 1800 damage. This was with just one red mutagen branch. Whirl was like a freaking blender. Next run I'm gonna do alchemy and swords on a lower difficulty than Death March.

Even with that crazy damage some stuff still took a while to kill.

I'm about to start this. I want to romance Yennefer but keep Triss and I on good terms. Is that possible? I mistakenly kissed her at the party, will that screw me over?

Isn't Whirl only unlockable through the skill tree?

EDIT: Nevermind, see your edit.

It won't.
At the end of the quest you make a choice that basically decides what you leave your relationship in

I want to replay Witcher 1 & 2 now, but the memory of the damn Witcher 1 swamp level is keeping me from doing it. ...I may just be having Witcher withdraws.

Edited to be a bit more clear. You can get a 160% boost to attack, sign intensity or vitality depending on the skills and mutagens you tie to them. I only used one branch and hence 3 skills for swords stuff. If I used all the branches with red mutagens it would have been way more.

I still had to put 20 points to get whirl but I only had room for 3 sword skills. Had that, fast attack damage and the crit skill.
 
Ugh I haven't played this masterpiece again in over 4 days. I put it on hold because I'm building a new computer in a few days but I've had to send two defective parts back and now I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting.

Although I'm not sure if that's a good thing depending on how bad the XP bug is.

Yen's face changed a lot from her original concept art and model.

so about Deadly Plot chain quest

I've stupidly sent Roche to Kaer Morhen before I trigger any of this, will the quests trigger now? what will happen? should I just reload now? it's not that long ago.

Well, Ciri has a very different version of that tale and I trust her more

Any reason you're doing it?

Triss was hiding stuff from / lying to Geralt for two games. Yen didn't bother to contact Geralt until she had a need of him. And generally, I'm not particularly fond of how she came off in the game so far. Well until now lol,
her acknowledgement of feelings for Geralt surprised me
and I'm having a hard time breaking up the book canon pairing.

Decisions, decisions, maybe I'll flip the coin.

I really wish it wasn't so confusing to get this outcome. I originally killed the spirit first before starting ladies of the wood. Then a while later its like oh the kids are dead now because of that but you weren't given the slightest clue they would be related.

I like that aspect of the game. Gives a sense that the world does not revolve around you and some consequences are out of your control.
