God damnit. I think I'm totally on Team Triss but I'm having doubts. I think Triss is awesome but right now it seems that I have to make the choice before I even get to really spend any time with Yennefer. I suppose I could rush over to Skellige and then come back to do Triss' side quest after but that seems odd.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
How much does the CE Strategy Guide add to the game? I just ordered it and I can't wait to check it out. I'm not sure exactly how long I've been playing, maybe 15 hours or so, just got to Novigrad last night to
meet Triss
. I'm sure I've missed a ton of stuff...

Organization is a bit rough, but it has damn near everything you need to know. The bonus lore book included in the CE version is also really nice.

Not a sword...but got it from a quest in Novigrad called Cardinal Sins.

CDPR being awesome.

Wow lol didn't notice this at all when I did the quest. That's awesome.

If you're on PS4 and use suspend/resume, I believe the suspended time is counted too.
Thanks, yeah, that's gotta be it. Almost never fully turn off my ps4. Hope they fix that in a patch soon (Sony, not CDPR). Just completed the family matters quest, figure I'm about 15-20 hours in.

If I remember correctly,
going all the way through the cavern with Keira opens up her personal side quest thread and you find a magic lantern
. Maybe leaving the cave early bugged your quest progress? Did Keira
ask you to go to a cursed island and give a special lamp?


After we beat the boss she said help go find the lamp. I took off for town to repair. After I healed I met hey at her place. She handed me lamp and we finished off at the island. Back underground though, where I abandoned her is a door with magic writting. Had I not left her I could have gone in with her. Since my quest with her ended badly, I have no way to open the door now.
 
Ehh, Keira's quest's dungeon part goes for far too long. Just
closed the rifts
though so hopefully I'm soon out of here.

Yeah, that whole thing was slog for me as it was the first main quest I tackled. I felt so weak and was constantly meditating to recover swallows. Also didn't help that I didn't understand that you can't spam food items to heal health!

But it felt super rewarding once I had finished and killed
not only two golems and a gargoyle, but a damned Wild Hunt boss.

Yup so it seems that Red Mutagens can be gotten from Drowners around the coasts of Skellige.

I'm romancing them all, hoping for the harem ending in Kaer Morhen.
 
Oh man, was it lovely seeing
Geralt reunited with Ciri. Beautiful.


This fucking game, man. Makes me sad it'll be the last one, at least for Geralt. Hoping the expansions are of this high quality.

You only needed to go through there to get the lamp so you're good since you got it anyway, and that lamp is only needed for the tower of mice. Also I can't believe you ended up killing her, dayum. My Keira went off to the witcher castle.

I'm hoping Witcher 4 starts fresh. I feel like the fanbase is bigger than ever, and a new protagonist would be a great way to get everyone on the same boat when it comes to playing off these overarching choices and characters.

So I decided to restart right after leaving White Orchard, and I'm glad I did. So much I missed out on by skipping the ? marks on the map, including some extra quests and led to good XP.

Count rouven treasure quest
Do you ever find the gold or can it be found?

There is a way, I think.

What you have to do is to ask about it when the option comes up but you have to let Triss get some of her fingernails done in to get to that point. You find out it's location but I don't know if Djisktra will go get it later. It also forces a battle with Menge though as he ends up suspecting you of something fishy.

I actually really want to play through the story again when I'm done and do it quick to see how they changed the events up based on your decisions.

But there is a tower of power in there. I have the lamp lol I want the point from the tower of power but i can't get in! Since she's gone and I stopped following her the door never got opened. I can't do it. It's driving me bonkers seeing the tower on my map and not being able to get it.

Oh right, THAT door!
Yeah, it was a quest event where Keira translates the writing and you have to figure out a small puzzle to open the door
. Shame that you're basically locked out of it now.

By the way, did you
find the sweet silver sword near the Wild Hunt boss area
?

That's what multiple playthroughs are for.

I wonder if they would ever consider adapting some of the book stories through DLC. I'd love to see The Last Wish told in game.

I did this without ever touching potions and didn't know they recovered (never meditated) on Hard. I ran out of food like 3/4 of the way through and had to do it without getting hit. It was so brutal... It wasn't until after the last fight I looked at the potions and realized how stupid I'd been up to that point.

Yeah got the sword. Sounds like I'm burnt on the tower though. Damn.
 
In the Witcher 2 there is a special flower:
that you can give to Triss as a sign of love or something, I can't remember exactly.
.

What I'm curious about is whether that choice has repercussions in the Witcher 3. I don't need to know what those might be, just whether they exist or not. I can't remember if I did it or not, so I'm curious if I'll get an in-game signal.

So doing the quest with Kiera, I took off to repair and sell stuff after beating the
wild hunt boss.
she had asked me to keep going but I left. Got a quest failed but them a new one popped up. So, I met her at her place and do dinner and all that. After we
meet at the island things go bad and I kill her.
Well, back in the cavern is a door with magic writing and a place of power. Problem is, I can't open it. I assume had I stayed with her I would have gotten in but that is not an option now, obviously. Am I screwed? Ive tried everything to get in that door.

Is that the door with the two statues on either side four total?

Yea, I mean, I wouldn't mind at all but it's still... you know. Since 2007 and after reading 3 books until now, a guys gets slightly attached.


But yes, excited for CDPR's future.

LOL. I finally changed Geralt's hairstyle after fifteen levels, getting sick of his default hair looking so stupid and magically floating in cutscenes. I ended up picking the "Dante" like hair, and an hour later some armor that looks like Dante's trench (minus the sleeves) ended up dropping. So now I'm running around with a bearded Dante.
 
might replay Assassins of Kings if only to experience the Iorveth path
also spare Letho this time
so ill have 2 completely different game saves ready to go next week
go mage build this time instead of spellsword

I feel the same way as you. Really feeling Triss but don't want to make a bad decision for story's sake..

I love that you can "load game" at so many different points. Makes it much easier if you fail a quest because Roach was 50 feet in the air instead of, you know, right in front of you.

Don't you need to own a copy of the game to buy an expansion on GOG? (GOG seems down to me atm so I can't check)

In other news, framerate seems better on PS4 with patch 1.03 (swamps)

the part i quoted is from the dlc page on gog..it says that the boxed game is only cmpatible with dlcs bought on gog,not that you need a gog copy to use the dlc

Haven't tried in combat yet, but judging from the description the alternate version of Yrden is very OP. Anyone tried?

The alternate versions of Igni and Queen are pretty cool too. Anybody using?

I was Team Shani so I had no probs jumping to Yennefer. Triss is #notmychristian
