Well. Where the time went?

I was about to go make lunch, telling myself just one more quest.

5 hours past and now I might as well make dinner.

Isn't it ridiculous? Haha. This game will literally consume you if you aren't careful.

It's like that Pringles commercial... You can't have just one.

Will Triss appear at

Spoiler

Kaer Morhen if I didn't kiss her at the party and let her get on the ship without telling her to stay?

 

[Audioboxer]

Heard back from an email to CDPR... The Get Junior quest bugs involving Roche haven't even been tied down yet, so no luck for next weeks patch. Think I'll just start over....*sigh*

 

[V1LÆM]

Finally left White Orchard! Damn, I thought that area was big. This new area is freaking massive. I don't know where to start.

 

[Nameless]

I do wish you could abandon or at the very least delist quests. Gwent matches and horse races are cluttering up my already massive quest log and I don't plan on doing any of that stuff.

I think she does but don't quote me on that.

Yes she should. As long as you finish her questline, in any way.

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

This is about as close as I could get.

Edit: I should note that I have several .ini tweaks present for expanding draw distance of foliage and shadows, along with a few other things.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I'm regretting choosing Yen more and more. She treats Geralt like utter garbage almost always.

 

[| Praxis |]

Anybody know if I should be getting xp for "A Costly Mistake" quest?

 

[AmateurHour212]

Finally left White Orchard! Damn, I thought that area was big. This new area is freaking massive. I don't know where to start.

I had the same reaction... Seeing all those quest boards pop up... Wowsers.

Quick question: what level were you when you got to Veren (the second area)?

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

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:

This is about as close as I could get.

One more just because. Basically foliage quality and distance are the biggest differentiator.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I'm regretting choosing Yen more and more. She treats Geralt like utter garbage almost always.

I chose Triss and all but Yen has always been a sarcastic 'independent woman'. She's even infamous for being an asshole basically haha. But her relationship with Geralt is that more of a married couple whose past the honeymoon phase but still like to flirt.

 

[Sifl]

Anyone else having trouble collecting the Gwent cards? I finally found a bunch of merchants I haven't played, but they aren't giving me any cards. I also looked over a list and can't even figure out which cards I'm missing, so it might be bugged for me.

 

[Moff]

You can technically ignore them yes. Whichever you ignore you

Spoiler

simply won't be in a relationship with that person

.

well thanks for the heads up anyway, I am tempted to replay the last six hours before the last wish quest. are you sure I can still romance triss after

Spoiler

the unicorn scene?

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

dude, the xp you get from main quest is stupidly crazy no matter how crappy or eaasy the quest is.

 

[ironcreed]

I'm regretting choosing Yen more and more. She treats Geralt like utter garbage almost always.

See, that is why I ended up changing my mind to try going with Triss.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Spoiler

the unicorn scene?

100% certain as long as you tell

Spoiler

Yen the magic is gone during 'The Last Wish'

and go for it man. You still have a lot to play anyways what's replaying 6 hours?

 

[toastyToast]

I'm regretting choosing Yen more and more. She treats Geralt like utter garbage almost always.

There always seems to be a dialog option to pick a fight with her for some odd reason. It's pretty easy to figure out where she's coming from. I found her personality a lot more interesting than Triss' and I enjoyed her pragmatic no BS attitude.

Yen too fierce for some of ya'll

 

[Moff]

well I will just ignore

Spoiler

the last wish quest because I did a reload just to see yen's reaction when you say the magic is gone and it was just heartbreaking

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

Isn't it ridiculous? Haha. This game will literally consume you if you aren't careful.

It's like that Pringles commercial... You can't have just one.

As a madman who plays TW2 7 times, I had way, way too high expectations for TW3. Yet it still manages to surprise me, times and times again, with its high quality quests and world building.

 

[Nameless]

Madness.

Gwent <3

I'm sure it's fun, but I was never a Magic/Yugi-oh/Pokemon guy and rather spend my time on this [ridiculously massive] world witchering and exploring.

Plus 'never again' after FFVIII.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

well I will just ignore

Spoiler

the last wish quest because I did a reload just to see yen's reaction when you say the magic is gone and it was just heartbreaking

lol. You can just skip through the scene and

Spoiler

she gets over it

decently quick later in the game. Better to make things certain. I have no way of knowing if what I told you about ignoring is 100% guaranteed to work but theoretically it should since that's what those personal quests were designed for.

 

[Rhaknar]

man all the good loot is in the ?s isnt it

even this lvl 5 stuff im getting from clearing ?s is much better than what I had (im lvl 9), finding a bunch of relic quality stuff

ppl that cant find good loot, go do them ?s!

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Last Triss quest spoiler

Spoiler

Some tough choices in that storyline. From whether to kiss or not at the ball and having to choose between saving the two mages or the rest was probably one of the more difficult choices to make ha ha. Later, as I was watching Triss and the mages leave on boat, Gerelt just stood there and a sudden feeling of "I just fucked up" lingered over my head.

If you meant to

Spoiler

romance triss

then that feeling in your head is right. If you didn't want to, then you're fine.

 

[fantomena]

I'm regretting choosing Yen more and more. She treats Geralt like utter garbage almost always.

That's partly because in the past (books) Geralt left Yen in Vengerberg without saying goodbye which broke her hearth. There's many things that happened in the past with Yen which the game doesn't tell you.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Oh, I so didn't. I just put her down.

God dayum. You might be somewhat groovy, but there's no doubt you roofless.

If it helps

Spoiler

Yen has a bigger role in the game anyways. I still went for Triss though

 

[Psychological Intellect]

anybody have the glitch where your clothes are always wet?

 

[TimeEffect]

One more just because. Basically foliage quality and distance are the biggest differentiator.

This is about as close as I could get.

I haven't finished the books yet but

was that their last meeting in the books? Games suggested otherwise.

I don't know. Ive just read lots of summaries form the books, Im planning to read the books and novels pretty soon go in more in-depth.

Hey Geralt, haven't seen you in forever...how about I make you travel alone from place to place and emasculate you when you get there?

Yen did grow on me, but Triss epitomizes the term 'ride or die'.

 

[VE3TRO]

Whats better Active Shield or Exploding Shield?

 

[Sifl]

Whats better Active Shield or Exploding Shield?

Active by far.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

That's partly because in the past (books) Geralt left Yen in Vengerberg without saying goodbye which broke her hearth. There's many things that happened in the past with Yen which the game doesn't tell you.

Oh, I'm aware. I just still think she treats him like utter garbage even when I made my choice.

 

[ironcreed]

Oh, I'm aware. I just still think she treats him like utter garbage even when I made my choice.

Even Cerys is quick to point out how Yen has Geralt on a gimp chain.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Whats better Active Shield or Exploding Shield?

Active. That huge vitality boost you get when hit and upon depletion the shield breaks and stuns your enemies.

 

[Ghostmaster]

Even Cerys is quick to point out how Yen has Geralt on a gimp chain.

Every sorceress has Geralt on a chain. Lambert the truth preacher.

Just in this game you got: Yen, Triss, Keira and

Fringila Vigo

 

[SnakeLinkSonic]

Hey Geralt, haven't seen you in forever...how about I make you travel alone from place to place and emasculate you when you get there?

Yen did grow on me, but Triss epitomizes the term 'ride or die'.

If I wanted ruthless and ice cold independence, I'd go for Philippa. She's a much better catch in that regard. Yen is tame in comparison.

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

$&@% loading times on PS4 and theses gawd damn trial and errors which makes you wait, but it's ok, I had plenty of time to make myself a protein shake...should've went on medium &#128553;

 

[TimeEffect]

I guess the best thing to do is turn the minimap off and pop open the big map and memorize the road (or auto pilot with horse)

I think Im just about ready to turn my map off. Finding myself looking at it too often.

 

[Einchy]

Cerys spoilers, maybe?

Spoiler

Was it just me or did Cerys have a thing for Geralt?

 

[ironcreed]

Every sorceress has Geralt on a chain. Lambert the truth preacher.

LOL, I don't see Geralt complaining. But seriously, Yen is the kind of woman who would be too hard to love and be close to. At least for me. Very off-putting attitude.

 

[zonezeus]

Skellige > Velen. Dat music, oh man!

 

[VE3TRO]

Active by far.

Active. That huge vitality boost you get when hit and upon depletion the shield breaks and stuns your enemies.

Thanks guys.

Cerys spoilers, maybe?

Oh defo. I prefered her out of all the women.

 

[ironcreed]

Cerys spoilers, maybe?

Spoiler

I kind of felt like she did, but she also

Spoiler

bluntly told what I felt was the truth about Yen.

 

[Zakalwe]

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

This quest and the surrounding quests are a wild ride. The characters are so well written, and their arcs give them real depth and growth. The emotional impact of this entire quest line was heavy, easily one of my favourite moments in gaming.

Also the Whispering Hillock quest was terrifying. The sense of horror and dread atmosphere was intense. It's stuck with me.

Spoiler

The spirit itself and the crones

, the dialogue and the music,

Spoiler

swimming through the water underneath the tree while the heart beat and the ambient sounds wrapped themselves around me like a strangling root....

really rare something affects me like that.

Amazing, no hyperbole.

 

[Rhaknar]

damn it, in a small camp that wont go "gray" in the map which usually means there is a chest or something with valuable loot in the camp still, but I cant find anything. and the camp is tiny. this wrecks my OCD

Enhanced Starting Armour
-

Can upgrade the base armour and rune slots ate specific level intervals, or transmog Master Griffin so it looks like the starter set.

Doesn't cater for everyone, and it's limited, but it will allow you to use the starter gear at certain points (or if you choose Griffin then when you hit master you're set).

Only a matter of time before someone writes a true transmog mod.
