Such a gorgeous game.
Trying to do grey sidequests cause of the XP bug (don't think I've got it) and all that and trying to get to like level 23 for Superior Griffin Armour. Sorry, maybe next game I'll do a sword/potion build with Bear armour because I have to admit that looks badass as hell. I wish Griffin Armour didn't make Geralt look fat as hell, but I can't give up the buffs the set gives for signs.
I kinda wish CDPR put in set bonuses for the witcher sets to see how people would trade off keeping the whole set together between upgrade tiers or mixing and matching off-set pieces. I guess that's sort of what the cat/griffin/bear perks are there for in a sense though.

Where was the post that showed all of the Armor sets again? I'm trying to compare which ones I'd want.
You also hear a lot about their supposed lack of emotions. Basically, you should never trust anything people are lead to believe about the witchers. That includes the things the witchers are taught to believe about themselves, because if there's one thing those guys love, it's self-deprecation.
The games probably should make this clearer, because we're taught to believe our protagonists, causing many players to develop a poor understanding of what really makes Geralt tick. Which is a shame, because his insecurities and self-delusions are some of his most endearing traits.
You gotta use bombs man. Just all the time abuse them.
It's not really a fix, more that grey quests don't give you XP anyway so there's no harm in doing them.

Good self-control if its Yen you're after. Though you do miss
one of the funnier scenes in the game involving a lighthouse
I caved on both. Results weren't good

I love this game, im still a lowly level 6 , exploring every inch of Velen when i just found this island (no quest yet), its so mysterious and coming to the island in a small sail boat feels amazing.
I am so glad its not fenced off until a quest is required e.t.c, ive explored so many areas of Velen, many i have to turn around due to the monsters, but just getting there and exploring feels awesome.
As someone who normally cant get into rpgs, this is the best game i have ever played . Exploration is amazing, i am about 20 hours in and barely even scratched the surface.
Yeah I've been clearing the Velen ones but if this fixes the bug I'll clear the Skellige one also
Yea, I really liked that about Fyke. The conversation just seemed natural.
And if you're taking your time on normal or greater difficulty, you easily have another 40 hours ahead of you.

Kind of confused about a quest called Ghosts of the Past which is about
, which takes place during a quest called The Fall of the house Reardon. I completed that quest ages ago, but never even saw anything about ghosts of the past. I just saw it is a missable quest too, so am I screwed out of doing this if I already finished Reardon? I downloaded the save file from the original OT, which I thought would allow me to do this quest.
Letho
didn't OP fuck up with the save files and what was described wasn't actually what was in the links. he fixed it later.

lol shit...really?
im going on like 100 hours of gameplay...this makes me want to start over
You sure you downloaded the right save file because...
You get sent to do the House Reardon quest and Letho has already taken care of it and is hiding out inside. Its impossible to miss him.

Well, did anyone here do the Woodland Spirit or Eldberg contract?

yeah, that definitely didnt happen for me. As the poster above said, I guess I got it before the OP fixed it. This fucking sucks. Might just start completely over

Just constantly impressed with how this game looks.

So I just beat the game, my ending was a bit bittersweet.
What ending you guys got?
Ciri became empress however she had to say goodbye to Geralt. Geralt lived a peaceful life with Yen and Nilfguard continued to prosper.

Didn't you get the interview thing at the start of the game after leaving the starter zone?
Not when you pick "No" to "Simulate World Save". That defaults to the "canon" world state. The save import wording is really not clear.

Anyone noticed some of your mutagens going missing from your inventory/character screen?
I'm thinking if you get over 30... the last ones you got a just deleted... I definitely had a Werewolf/Griffin/Wyvern (multiple in fact) mutagen, but now... 30 exactly, and none of those ones are in there...?
You can't use the named mutagens in crafting as far as I know, so I didn't meld them to make a better Red one (but I would love to).
Edit: Made decoctions, forgot that uses up mutagens
- my bad (thanks to sidkid on reddit for the heads up!).

Does anyone else think Skellige is a significantly better designed world than Velen/Novigrad? There's more verticality, a greater sense of space and locale, it even runs better.
Yeah and it has the best music to boot.

i'm team yennefer all the way but yeah his attitude around her is jarring lol, completely different character.
It's the same as 2's. Different recording equipment and direction.
Letho sounds different too.

Finally got to Skellige at lvl17. Headed to meet yennefer and the 1st thing I did was loot a crate and get spotted by a lvl31 guard.
Tough fight but managed to win with a sliver of health left.

One hasn't lived until they have bested a few level 43 guards at level 30. Took forever but damn if I didn't own 'em.

I used them as training dummies to try different builds - the three guards in the square in front of the store that sells the respec potion. They're not that hard once you learn how to dodge properly.

What time is it?
So the game just erased 60k crowns from my inventory. I guess there is an in game cap and if you go over your money gets erased the next time a save is loaded. I think I'm done with this game.
edit: Checked my saves and I'd need to roll back 2 days get the money back, no thanks. I can't take anymore of this unpolished game.

Just slightly less than 2/3rds, and yes you can

Nah, but I do see it as a very welcome change. Velen is suitably bleak and miserable the further south you go. It's flatter, yes, but I think that's a topographical necessity given CDPR pay attention to mostly realistic scale and land layout. Just wouldn't make sense for it to have a ton of mountains or what Skellige is like integrated into the same map.
I think that's one of the game's greatest strengths actually; topographical and ecosystem diversity, yet realistic blending of these and distinct separation where necessary. What I love about Skellige is it doesn't just feel like they took Velen/Novigrad assets and dumped them into a new map that just so happens to be mountainous with snow. The Skellige forest is different from forests on the prior map. Its shorelines are different. Different towns. Different colour palette in the foliage.
Where Velen is often wild, it's also ravaged by monsters, war, and people. Skellige's wild comes across more as unspoiled and naturally beautiful. It's a great difference.

Letho spoilers and Radovid spoilers follow:
Why did so many people let Letho live in Witcher 2? Secondly, given that the Witcher 2 made such a big deal about Witchers not supposing to operate as assassins, did anybody else thing long and hard about taking on the Radovid mission?

I don't remember very well, it's been a good couple of years since I played Witcher 2 but
I think I felt sympathy towards him at the end, when you have that talk. He wasn't a bad guy, he was just used, same as Geralt was in the second game. Plus I quite like his character. He's a badass. I especially liked him in W3.
He came from an understandable place in trying to revive the Witcher school, and he took care of Yen when Geralt was with the hunt. He didn't seem like that bad of a dude, and I felt like Geralt wouldn't be spiteful enough to kill him.

Skellige + Ursine set = can't stop pressing the share button
Yep.
I was ready to kill him after hearing the whole story I just wanted to ask him to come looking for Yen with me. Best bro.

You weren't kidding about this. Beat her at level 5 and she never even laid a finger on me. The best part of alternate Yrden is that the shocks kill all the little clones for you and she never gets to heal.
I have all the ingredients for the Viper swords except the Emerald Dusts. Is it still worth it to make them at my level (level 5, just about to start the Baron's questline) and where can I either find some Dust or find enough things to sell to buy the Dusts?
Oh Dijkstra, you glorious bastard. Endgame spoilers:
This game. There will never be one greater.
I don't know what I was expecting. But at least you went down fighting.
His heart was in the right place but one has to know when they're achieved a step towards victory and when they're merely grasping beyond their means. And of course I couldn't let him murder his honorable comrades just to have a shot at taking down the last king.

Alright I think my game bugged. Profound sadness.
I'm doing the Count Rueven's treasure quest and I left Bart and went back up to the entrance of the Bathhouse. Now that path is closed, the quest dialogue points me to talk to
in the office, but I can't re-initiate the quest.
I even tried to get smart with it, and followed the sewer path back to the poisonous canals, and used potions to stave off the effects, and have a body to examine but nothing happens. Anyone have this issue? Damn.
