Yeah, normal does the same thing and hides merchants depending on your distance to them (though some icons stay visible at all times). Pretty sure it's neither a bug nor a difficulty feature, just a way to reduce map clutter.

The bombs can be used to cancel a nasty bug at least.
Ok, I need some help with a side quest in Skellige
In Wolf's Clothing, I'm not stuck in it per se but I've read somewhere else that this quest is related to a contract that I can take in Novigrad? Is that true? Or is that part of the reward you get from him after lifting his curse? I refuse to finish it without knowing I'd miss on another quest 
Ok i am really sick of navigating those gdamned menus in order to use potions... I am playing on death march and obviously potions are crucial to my success. And I have to scroll through a fuckton of books and notes just to use them...
I honestly dont know who at CDPR found this a good idea, and I dont get why they didnt at least put them on top of your inventory like oils...
So I am about to go and sell all my books and notes just to navigate the thing with some ease.
My question is. If i sell all my books and notes into a specific shop, will it always be there if I want to go back and repurchase one? Do vendors always keep every item you sell at them, or are items removed over time?
Thanks.

Hmmmmm. I like the game. However, it is too long. I don't think I want to play more after beating it. I will want to move on to something else by that time. Batman AK release date is getting close.

I've been skipping the horse races and fistfights quest to "save time"

That was my thinking too... but I find it rather odd since I would LOVE to keep Blacksmiths and Armorers always on and the rest off, but this way you have to remember where everyone is all the time: but if it's the same for everyone, it's no doubt dev implemented
Thanks for the feedback mate.
The only thing is that some things require a lot of attention. For example in the previous Witcher game we see a flashback where Geralt remembers how Cirilla saved him as she took his lifeless corpse to Avalon with Yennefer. But a quick reference in one game doesn't exactly do justice to the whole situation. This was his daughter/ward travelling through space and time in order to bring Geralt back from the dead. Not exactly a minor event. The information is provided to us I suppose but the presentation and emotional impact could be clearer.
I was worried about this but eventually just gave up and started dumping all letters and books that aren't marked as quest items. In my experience, the quest item system works perfectly fine and you can trust it.
Now the problem is that I have too many damn decoctions, oils and potions to dig through. Wish they gave you an equipment wheel so you could fast-equip 9 potions instead of just two.
The expansions aren't coming out next week, dude. The big one is "spring 2016".
That stuff isn't coming anytime soon. The first expansion isn't due until fall and the second one won't be out until next year sometime.

With the elementals or Geralt?
He sounds like Clint Eastwood.
Too long? Too long!?! I don't want this game to end. Ever!
But what I ask in regards to vendors is it true?
Do they keep all the items you sold no matter how much time passes?

New DLCs are up.
Nilfgaardian Armor and Crossbow Set (3 new crossbows)
Edit Can't find them in-game, though. I checked the White Orchard merchant and the Master Armorer & Blacksmiths. Anyone know where to get them?

Just finished the Baron questline. Holy shit.
What other outcomes did people get?
I ended up saving the orphans because I (rightfully so) didn't trust the witches. Had no idea that because of that one thing, a man I've spent hours learning about and helping ends up hanging himself. All because witches aren't to be trusted..
What other outcomes did people get?
Speaking of vendors, I'm betting a near-future patch will make the respec potion a one and done type of deal. I have several in my inventory just in case they do exactly that and being able to respec whenever I damn well please feels a little odd.
It's cool that you can try different builds but they might as well have let you add/remove points at will if you can just buy infinite respecs anyway. 1000 ain't shit to a kleptomaniac Geralt.

No, they don't. Some items aren't even still there if you back out and go back into the shop right away. I don't think anyone has found any logic behind what stays and what disappears.
Kaer Morhen, Post-Isle, Large spoilers:
Props for having the balls to kill off Vesemir. Even if its a bit tropey death of an old mentor, it made for some really touching moments. Haven't been a big fan of the main storyline so far but this was very well done. Cutscene direction could be better in places though. Think its something Bioware still has a slight edge in.

wow, I will let you know how this happened for me.
first of all, I did this quest twice because I replayed quite a portion of skellige because I amde a bad decision.
the first time I did not go to jail, I think it was because I solved the "penitent" quest differently, if you search the lighthouse you will find log books that show that the guy who lives there actually manipulated them, you can choose to exile him if you found that out.
that was my first palythrough and the dude in the inn did NOT attack me.
now the second time I did not search the lighthouse, I could not exile him and imagine my surprise when the dudes attacked me at the inn and I got in jail.
and the jarl released me because I did the quest with his son already, the game reacted correctly to that.

I think there's been a misunderstanding. :lol
It would've been better for your progression if you were actually affected by the bug.

The new armor and horse gear looks really nice, the horse gear I'm going to use but I'm already over leveled for the Nilfgardian armor and the 2 crossbows I saw.

The quartermaster at the Crow's Perch.
To be fair, both half-assed romance plot threads pretty much disappear after their respective sidequests and afterwards Yennefer appears more often purely due to her ties to Ciri and

it's about the journey, not the destination.
Meh, knew it. All the DLC is going to be level 10 type stuff for casual players, isn't it?
This does make you wonder exactly what they're thinking for the large expansions. Are the hardcore players just going to be buying a bunch of greyed-out level 10 quests or are they going to turn away casuals by making 25 the minimum level? Not sure CDPR thought this leveling system all the way through...
The alternate ending has the children devoured by the Crones. The Baron and Anna live but she has been driven insane after all the emotional trauma. Geralt thinks she is beyond help but the Baron refuses to give up and decides to take her to someone that can try to heal her mind. The daughter wants to go too but the Witch Hunters insist that she now belongs to the Eternal Flame.

can't they just make the quests scale to your level?

Yeah it's a bummer, I totally would have used the armor if it was even close to as good as my current gear. At the very least, the DLC stuff should scale to your level, as it's useless to a large portion of players at this point.

Funny how the armor you start off with looks the best.

Imo the expansions should continue from the level you are expected to be at the end of the game. If you didn't find the game enjoyable enough to finish it, you probably wouldn't play the expansions either. There should be no reason to play the expansions before finishing the main game.

I don't think you've seen the other Witcher armors my friend. The Ursine armor is beautiful.

So I'm in Novigrad, doing the get junior quest and I can't progress. The quest marker dissappear and when I found the arena again, can't open the secret door. Am I totally fucked at this point? I'm guess the get junior is important to the story so...
Re-read that book about the witches again. 'Ladies of the Wood' I think it's called. Might put the whole quest, and your choices, in a new terrible light.

Piss on that. Griffin looks good and Feline is awesome. Haven't done Ursine yet.

I think you're right lol, but it certainly looks better to what I'm currently using ( check 2 pages back for the gif)
This is super weird. My result seems different from everyone else's.
I freed the tree spirit way before starting the bloody baron questline. Doing the quest out of order must have messed something up since the kids stayed at the orphanage the whole time and the village wasn't affected until after the crones told me to kill the tree spirit. But even then, I got the ending where the Baron tries to restore Anna's mind by going to the Blue Mountains and Tamara has to stay with the Eternal Flame.
