The original is the one I prefer only because it more closely matches her original description.

She has a nose that is "slightly too long," lips a "touch too narrow," "irregular brows," and hair in "curling disarray," but is still extremely confident, domineering, and sexy.

I have read the books, and the way I pictured Yennefer more closely resembles the new model of her.. the old one was weird, and there she looked like a teenager and not like a confident woman.. the new model is when it comes to this parts, way better and she just looks better overall in my opinion..

I recall the novels always emphasizing how beautiful she was. And the one on the right is more aching to that 'way too beautiful' description.

So nobody has any idea where the superior northern wind bomb diagram is? Enhanced version does plenty but I'd really like to get the last upgrade. No luck so far.

I agree.
 
As far as I know, the post is correct. She will show up.

Thank you sir!

Yes like I said I tested it, extensively. It doesn't work like that for me so I assume there are other variables than that conversation alone. Or it's a bug.

Can't really say with this game, too many vague things that effect stuff.

EDIT: This shit bothers me now, I'm going to redo the whole quest with different choices and see how it works. And the entire questline if necessary.

Please tell me what happen, brb in 5 hours !

it's the makeup application, honestly. The original has the same features, just different hair and makeup (or lack thereof).

Yes she just has far more make-up on the right. Left is face without make up.

My gf is actually slightly bothered by how much makeup many of the women wear haha. She loves the game though.
 
And the ice. Witches 3 isn't a platforming game, they shouldn't have forced this in here.

The desert part is awesome though.

Don't know never really had problem with that part, I think most people don't realize that you can light a fire and then stand near it to regain all your health.

It was cool to see the apocalypse that both the wild hunt and the people of earth are afraid of

I found it in the Ancient Crypt in Skellige Isles. It's only accessible during the Sunstone story mission though. Unfortunately for me, it didn't show up in my alchemy menu along with the enhanced northern wind recipe.

My worst nightmare has come true, I think I've got the no XP bug.

I'm on level 13 and I just completed Pyres of Novigrad and I didn't get any experience whatsoever for completing it (although I still get XP for killing enemies). I'm pretty sure it's not a grey quest 6 levels below my level.

I guess I'm gonna have to learn how to play Gwent.

I don't really want to play until the XP bug is fixed on Monday so I'm playing Gwent, won a few cards so far, last game was a nail biter. I need one more Nilfgardian unit card and I can switch to it, it's my strongest deck by far.

Its not hard, its boring; running from place to place in Witcher 3 is not a good gameplay experience.

This scene should have been a cutscene or - if they had to have it playable - half as long.

The ice section took me about 3 minutes. Were you THAT bored in such a small amount of time?

[edit]

I wish there would've been more planets, too. Loved seeing all the alternative worlds Ciri could visit.

Destroy your Northern Wind bomb, go to a herbalist to get the ingredients if you still need them and craft the normal, enhanced and superior version in one go. It's a known bug, you can work around it that way.

Yes. Three minutes is a long time in a story. It can make or break the pacing, and it most certainly broke it.

I'm not interested in slogging through bad sections and just saying "oh well;" its the developer's job to craft the experience, and part of that is recognizing when parts belong on the cutting room floor.

I love when you're wandering around a swampy area and fall into a deepish water part, and are completely unable to climb out because the game just constantly says "You cannot do that now."

I've lost more time because of that than any other bug, I think. I seem to be constantly falling into 'deep' puddles and end up completely unable to climb or get out. Even had that happen right outside Novigrad!

Annoying.

I'm glad it wasn't cut, I found those areas extremely interesting from a visual and story telling prospective.

Yep, completed it not too long ago and didn't seem like I got any XP either.

Except that part had great importance to the plot and had story bits that could not have been told through cutscenes. I found it very integral to the entire crux of the final act and I didn't find having to run to be very taxing.
 
Man, all y'all ragging on Triss. I can't support that perspective.
Geralt had no memory and she was in-love with the man for years before the memory loss. Can you blame her for finally taking her chance with Geralt now that Yen was seemingly out of the picture
? The heart wants what the heart wants.

Anyways, in light the XP bug, I spent last night's game time clearing the already greyed-out quests from quest log. I'm lvl 17, so as basically 5 contract quests. Wow, I had no idea that those quests reward you with
a level appropriate silver or steel "relic" sword
! I'm definitely going to keep up with the contracts going forward.

I really wanted to work on clearing out the later half the Novigrad quests this weekend. I guess I'll try the next main story quest with copious save states to see if the XP bug is affecting me or not.

I'm only 45 hours in and I'm so thirsty for more.
 
Didn't CDPR at one point said there were like 16 hours of sex in Witcher 3? lol

I think that if we took a poll a surprising amount would be protriss.

I replayed the whole Now or Never quest, with different choices and still
anything I said before or after "stay with me" resulted in sex.

A question for those who got Triss to
stay without sex:

Did you kiss her in the masquerade?

At this point I'm sure it's either that, or then this crap is almost as complicated as the whole date system in FF7.
 
How can I tell if I have the xp bug?

Ill stop playing if I get it until the patch

Also, framerate doesnt seem stable when I got to the border of the North city, and the port city

Will that get optimized on PS4 or am I screwed?
 
Geralt couldn't perform under that kind of pressure.

I think that was how much mocap footage they recorded lol. I'm guessing not all of that made it into the final game unless I'm completely blowing it with every woman I talk to.

Probably not all of it made it into the full game considering that
most sex scenes use the Keira one but copy/paste the characters with the mocap

Yen wasn't "out of the picture." Triss just failed to inform a freaking amnesiac about her relationship with Geralt. So yes, I can fault her. "The heart wants" is a shit excuse.

Anyways, just finished Yen's Last Wish quest. Freaking sweet.

Watching the sex scenes makes me wonder. We have hair, cloth, water simulations. When are we going to see flesh simulation?
It's awkward seeing stiff (no pun intended) bodies clipping through each other.

Really wish I didn't miss the Baron's card, and the first Innkeepers, my deck is a bit weaker than the quest NPCs.

it's especially awkward when characters in games kiss and it's more like two faces going close to each other, never making contact. Funniest example I can think of is Heavy Rain.

A couple get separated from war, the girl friend is waiting for her boyfriend to return and even think at some point he might be dead. But the truth is that an harpy lied to her boyfriend who lost his memory to keep him for herself (pure speculation, I didn't played Witcher 2 and 3).

So the previous girlfriend will just wept all her life for loosing her boyfriend and we should show sympathy toward the harpy who lied because she helped the poor guy during his convalescence and adventure ?

I'm sorry but if I was Yen, I would just go kill Triss and has Geralt, I would feel betrayed if I regain my memory.
