The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt |OT2| Wanted to find Ciri, but everything Gwent wrong

Status
Not open for further replies.
Man 3 days of playtime and none of the armour I've found looks nearly as badass as the starting armour

I'm level 13 and I still haven't found anything that looks as good as the first armor set. I still keep that in my inventory for screenshots :p

Griffin armor has amazing stats, but it's all green and gives Geralt a huge beer belly. I don't like it.

This is the only other armor I can tolerate, but the stats aren't that great....

This is still way better.

So, who else chose to tell both Yen and Triss
that you love them and ended up getting screwed out of either?
I still got a great ending with
Ciri stopping the White Frost and going on to be a Witcher with me,
but that still stung and really makes me want to play it again.

lol you should have considered that possibility man. Everybody in here was warning against it either in hints or light spoilers.
 
Really thought I'd be up for starting from scratch after having finished the game. I wouldn't say I'm bored at all but I had a terrible hollow feeling making my way through White Orchard.

I guess the wild ride is over

Does anyone remember where the PC/PS4 graphics comparisons are? Not video, but just images.

I'm curious to see how the PC version looks, especially with draw distance, but I cant find anything except videos, which are harder to compare. I saw some images a few days back but didn't really track down what site it was from.

This is on PS4, I"m curious how the PC version looks:

I did that and I'm doing a second playthrough right now. I'm still happy about my original ending though.
Geralt is a witcher. He's gonna be a witcher till the end of his days, not rot in some hut.

It took me a week to get over it. Talk about emotional impact.

lol. Yeah, that's why I'm trying to do everything I want to now. If I beat the game first, the trek from the start would be a long one. Haha. Though could anyone tell me if the game allows you to continue after the end? (With padding underscores!!)

Feel free to spoiler the answer

I am not through yet
, but you can't have both?
so I already told triss I love her before she left novigrad, does that mean if I tell yen I love her I'll end up alone? is that in "the last wish" quest with yen? or later? because I told her there that I love her, too :O

(spoilers about triss ending)
All it means for you to end up with Triss is that you can still do Witcher contracts but you have somewhere cozier/more welcoming to return home to. You can tell 'witcher's life to me' to Triss and she'll still happily tell you she wants you to consider her cabin home. You agree too. At the end it says that Geralt still took the occasional Witcher contract but lived very happily with Triss

you dun goofed IF
Triss stayed behind and you had sex with her
. Yeah you're fucked.

Definitely. I was doing the Devil by the Well contract and the whole thing hit me way harder than the first time. Even a basic ass side quest has such a gut wrenching story behind it.

This track puts a lump in my throat every time

really?
those are like level 13 and level 15 quests and they seriously already decide what romance ending you get? I read there was a possibility for a threesome later?
so I was supposed to dump yen in the last wish quest with the genie?

Awesome, was walking through a swamp, heading towards 2 monsters and oops..I fell down a tiny hole. Water isn't high enough to swim in, but too high to run/jump..spent 10mins attacking and rolling trying to get out before giving up and reloading a 20min old save file.

80 hours in, just reached Skellige, and only because Lambert asked me to go here to avenge his friend.

I still haven't met Zoltan/Dandelion/Ciri.

Christ this fucking game. So huge. So unparalleledly good.

Man, i've said it before and i'll say it again. The bloody baron storyline is among the best in gaming, period.

You could've done many things
1. You could have gotten to the 'Now or Never' quest for Triss and gone to the Islands and gotten to know triss. Then decide who you wanted. The quests were close enough level wise.
2. You could have told Triss to 'stay' then 'go' if you wanted her for the battle in kaer morhen and to end up with Yen.
3. You could have told Yen the magic is gone and already have told, or later tell, Triss that you love her

The
threesome
is a joke title. If you had asked about it we would have probably warned you haha.

I was talking specifically about my Geralt

Sorry if this is old news, but did you know that signs do double damage if you cast them without having your swords equipped (as in, not even on your back)? What the fuck?

seems the progression in this game is more open ended than i thought.

So how many of you have the EXP bug?

I think I have it, sort of, since one main quest (pyres of novigrad) gave me no XP.
But sidequests and witcher contracts give me XP, so I am doing those until they fix it completely.

I don't mind.

is this XP bug recent? because i've always found myself 1-2 levels over the recommended for the main quests. and i actually went up 4 levels following the climax of act 2.

ready to tackle most of the high end quests , treasure hunts and contracts now before its time for the last stretch

what a game.



edit: somebody made a mod for the starting armor so it can be upgraded and viable for the whole game, might be worth checking out. i quite like this feline armor though

Cheers. I will have to leave it until the fix then, I have done all side quests/ contracts near my level all the rest are crazy high.

I avoided (ignored) any spoilers like that. The playa got played, lol.

Seriously, what happened was
I originally decided on Yen, but later did the Triss quest, changed my mind and figured that I would just get the chance to be with Triss instead. Lo and behold, they get together and discover that I told them both I loved them and played me like a fiddle. I got handcuffed to a bed and left there, with neither wanting nothing else to do with me afterwards.
Talk about harsh.

Oh master of relationships teach me!

I have ended up kissing Triss, telling her I love her and sleeping with her. She left for Kaer Morhen. Since I have met Yen and slept with her, but I don't remember their being any "I love you" dialogue yet. I haven't went to area of cataclysm with her yet. Did I fuck up my changes to get together with Triss?

Poor Skjall.

Do you think he would've scored if not for his abrupt and unfortunate fate? We all know he already got to second base. Also, the whole bit with necromancy was creepy as hell. I thought that part was well done. Probably would've given me nightmares if I saw that as a kid.

My poor innocent pupil let this humble virtual lady killer guide you.

Was it the unicorn sex scene? If so you're fine. When you're doing Yen's personal quest, titled very aptly after a famous Witcher short novel, that's when you should know that you have to say no

If you really want to know the name of the quest it's
The Last Wish

Now go my child. Spread your wings.

well I always did the quests in level order and always immediately finished them, so I did "now or never" and told triss I love her, then traveled to skellige and had sex with yen, I don't even know if it's possible to avoid that, then I did "the last wish" and told yen I love her, because she is much cooler than triss honestly, but I only interacted with her after triss was long gone. and I always thought this doesnt destroy anything in the ending because I kept reading about a threesome here, and of course I didn't ask, I didnt want to be spoiled back then. only now that I read you can actually end up alone in the end and I want to avoid that.

well anyway, I arrived a kaer mohen right now and triss is nowhere to be found, just like keira and letho although I sent all of them there
 
It's been interesting to see people complain about the open world being segmented, I actually wish more games of this type followed suit. I think it helps to add a sense of scale to a world, there's always this weird Disneyworld feel to some open world games where a continent/large region is condensed down into this one area that you can run across in 15 minutes.

I'd love for the next Fallout game to be designed in the same vein, it would actually make it more similar to Fallout 1 and 2 which covered large sections of the west coast rather than just one city. I guess New Vegas with all its DLC included kinda accomplishes this.

Thank you master, your wisdom shall guide me!

And yeah, I'm good to go where I want to. Thanks :)

The option I mentioned above in the list
Where you kiss triss, tell her to 'stay' and then tell her to 'go' should work. As long as you don't get a sex scene. She should appear in Kaer Morhen

Well lesson learned dawg. Shit happens you'll know better next time around.
 
the lesson is I should not believe GAF when they write a threesome is possible and makes me think I can have both and not act like a reasonable human being :(

Well the few people who were saying it I believe were doing so in a joking manner. If they told you it's possible they're dicks.

Both Yen and Triss
appear in Kaer Morhen no matter what as long as you complete "Now or Never". Yen invites Triss from Kovir even if you decide not to romance her. Yen will always be there either way because of the plot.
