I've already passed that quest but did a different choice. What happens if you let her go? Do you have a link?

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I was able to cheese my way through it. I just shot arrows and kept them away from me using knock off. Took 30 minutes but I finally killed everyone.
That was shit.

HOLY JESUS FUCK
I.... I have no words. That's gruesome. Especially after seeing the (late act II spoilers)
happy ending with Lambert
I don't counter, usually take damage. I don't play like you, and for me Quen Shield is godlike. I pop the shield to restore my health that I lose. To be truly reckless means to suffer mistakes from careless approaches, of which I make frequently. Being able to just hold down R and get back a bit of health is cool, because I take a decent amount of damage because I play overly aggressive.

God damn
Keira spoiler
Couldn't go with any other option than sending her to Kaer Morhen the second time around. You've gotta expect a sorceress is up to something and if you think about it her reasons were innocuous and fairly rational for someone in her predicament. She's a total sweetheart. Too bad she chooses never to voice her plan to Geralt until the very end (a trait damn near every sorceress possesses) so he could talk her out of that terrible idea sooner.
Good lord.

I hear what he's saying - it's not about scaled vs non-scaled I don't think, it's more about logic. In early Velen I've come across a handful of deserters in a huge camp with full palisade walls and they were only level 5 and 6 guys. Then at another sleepy hut in the middle of nowhere there's a massive group of level 16 deserters with full plate, etc. To me it would have made much more sense to switch their positioning around, for example. It's all a bit arbitrary I guess, but you also expect the monsters to become more fearsome the further from the beaten path you stray; that doesn't always seem to be the case in Witcher 3 though. It's a pretty minor quibble though, I'm loving the game
Consoles have limited save slots

Damn I killed
On my second playthrough I'll try to get the happy ending.

Yeah, this seems to be a trait common to all sorceresses. It always gets them in a shitload of trouble even when their goals are ultimately good.

Darkest timeline averted.
Yeah my bad, I'm still only level 5. I shouldn't have spoken like I'm deep in the game =P

Holy shit that was a fun ride alone! Especially when fighting

The Wild Hunt guy. He was actually easier than I expected. While Keira had him cornered against the wall, I just spammed him with Igni

Wow. That actually happens too? That was one minefield of a conversation wasn't it? Geez

Oh yeah, that's a fair point. I recall one place in Velen - with a waypoint and everything - that leads straight to a death pit filled with ghouls of a rather high level. That said, there are definitely good challenges off the beaten path, more where you would expect.
And limited save slots on consoles? What a bummer. You'd think with the PC-like hard drive space they could come up with a better solution than that nowadays, with memory cards being a thing of the past.

Merchants don't buy items at full value. They'll give a better price if its part of their profession (i.e. blacksmiths and weapons; armourers and... armour).
There are multiple slots that they can use, but you also have to remember that cloud saves are a thing, so they have limited space to use.

Oh, right... Good point.
Cloud saves are the next generation of memory cards. Still better than not having them, though.
You're practically near the end. The next story sequence leads to the end.
Hey wow, this is disgusting! Two other instances where the game made me feel pretty nasty was when
you find Whoreson Junior and when you fight the three Crones as Ciri in the human stew
Rad, I'll start getting my side quests sorted out.

okay so I just finished the Bloody Baron main quest and i saw what.....many of you saw as well. *sniff*
Is this the hardest hitting/emotional quest in the game?
My girlfriend and I were in absolute awe at how it all ended.

Wow, seriously? I might just wrap this up tonight then.

Either stay positive/understanding and send her to Kaer Mohren (take the notes or not, doesn't really matter)
Or kill her.

WHAT THE FUCK
edit; just in case anyone is tempted to click without context of his quote, very spoilery.

Radovid is a piece of shit of unbelievable magnitude.

Again it all depends on how fast you are. Do you use fast traveling often? Do you regularly reload shit? If not then you're in the clear. Finishing tonight should be an option. You could leave any non-plot important sidequests for later.
Obvious spoilers
during the conversation with her when you catch her leaving the tower of mice, do not insult her. Whatsoever. You can say "you used me" but that's basically it. Then as you're questioning her about what she's doing stay positive and use logic. Make her see that Radovid isn't logical and that she'd likely cause the deaths of thousands of people. She should say she doesn't have elsewhere to go and hates bed bugs, you guide her to Kaer Morhen

He should've been the main villain.
Damn you Eredin there are just two kings in this game and they are both evil and you're still the lamer one.
