DLC armor with variable levels?

Does that mean that I could go back to WO and buy the Temerian armor again, and the level would be different?

It doesn't get scaled to your level all the time like other items, there are only two versions. A basic one, and one the merchant sells if you're level 28 or higher.

Alright I have a question about two quests that seem to intertwine, in Novigrad. One is a main quest, the other a lower level secondary quest. Without hopefully spoiling to much, the secondary is called Gangs of Novigrad.

So, the question is, is there suppose to be a fail state on one of the quests if you do the other? It seems you can't do both, and doing Gangs seems to mean you might lose access to a Cat school diagram later, unless the post I read is wrong.

Regarding Question:

If you choose to help the werewolf (morf-something) he rewards you by visiting a loan shark in Novigrad.

What I did:

Lifted the curse trhough a wolf fang so he rewarded me by telling me who to find in Novigrad. Then I killed him because he was a sadistic bastard and got my reward from the preistesses of Freya. You can collect both rewards.

Can someone please explain the relationship debacle between Triss and Yennefer? I am close to decide if I want a relationship with Triss and I am unsure, what negative effect it has to start something with both sorceresses.

I mean, as far as I understand it, it is possible, to have at least sex with both of them. First with Triss after "Now or Never". Then later the first time with Yen shortly after you arrive at Skellige. Later in Act 2, you are able to have a cozy time with Yen a second time, I guess in Kaer Morhen. But the scene in which both sorceresses "punish" you comes rather at the end of the game.
I got all information from the official prima guide.

So, what disadvantage do I have, when starting a relationship with both of them?

Going by the Termerian Armour being light, and the Nilfgaardian Armour being medium, and both sharing similar resistance type distribution, logic would imply we'll get Redanian Armour that is heavy, similar stats.

That would leave remaining known DLC.
- Ciri alternate outfit
- Triss alternate outfit
- Fool's Gold (mission most likely)
- Ballad Heroes neautral gwent card set
- Redanian heavy armour (assumed)

Well debug console commands also reveal hair 2 and hair 3 dlc, as well as something called wolf dlc, which is assumed by many to be Wolf School witcher gear, since wolf witcher items can be added via memory editing. They're currently blank items but the fact they exist along with that command is good enough reason to believe.

I don't understand the question.

If you tell both of them you love them then you get the "alone" ending. I believe you can have sex with Yen and as long as you turn her down later you can live happily ever after with Triss.


But I don't think there is any advantage/disadvantage there.

The gear scaling is really starting to get on my nerves. I'm currently lvl 15 and have been running around Velen checking out all the POIs. During this time I must have found at least ten different relic swords with cool sounding names, but they're all lvl 9 or 11 or whatever and rubbish compared to my feline and enhanced griffin swords. All the armours I've come across in the last four hours or so have also been useless. I ended up just selling everything and now I've got over 10k crowns and nothing to spend them on.

The end result is that I end up feeling like I'm playing the game incorrectly and wasting my time since, I'm assuming, all this gear I've found might have actually been useful if I had found it earlier or later when my lvl was closer to whatever thresholds the scaling is based on.

Thats not gear scaling and you are doing anything wrong, the crafted sets are the sets in the game. I have no idea why there is such an overabundance of other stuff when its largely useless.

So basically the way this quest works is that you can either follow the main quest line, which allows you to tackle each scenario in different ways. For example in the arena you can try to pay off the guards and prove yourself in the arena.

Following the Gangs of Novigrad quest line means that Cleaver will pay you to help his guards assault the locations. Cleaver will pay you depending on if you helped or not. If you only helped one set of dwarves then you get half pay, etc.

Failing this side quest doesn't really change anything. It just means you won't get paid for taking the assault route with the dwarves. Not sure about the Cat diagram but I don't remember receiving anything for finishing the quest aside from money.

I'm pretty sure there isn't but just to make sure, there's no item storage box or something like that in this game is there? I'm getting annoyed at having to sell cool looking armour and stuff I might want later to get my weight down

Ran it as an admin and that fixed it. But of course I'm waiting for the patch anyway to fix the broken Kings Gambit quest line. Stuck as a loading screen.

Sell them all to one vendor, buy them back later.
But lets be honest, 90% of the armor in this game are garbage looking.
All of them make Geralt into a fat pot-belly character.

So I like how the vegetation looks different and just overall prettier on Skellige, and I like the accents and that they've put care into making them have different vocabulary and such as well.

What I really can't fucking stand about Skellige is that it introduces verticality on a massive scale and I'm running around mountains for 20 minutes trying to find the right path, having traumatic Skyrim flashbacks. I loved how flat Velen was, I could just go anywhere I saw by heading straight for it and not have to worry...

So does the game add additional combat animations as you level up? Because I feel like Geralt is pulling off moves in combat that I don't' remember seeing at early levels. I feel like CDPR said something about this when the game was revealed...

About what level should I be after White Orchard? I'm level 4 just beginning the real meat of the game but loads of enemies around here seem to be significantly higher level than me.

That sounds right.

Just watch for red skulls on enemies and run away from them

Sun & stars + focus + 2 points in Quen + the rest in fast & strong attack abilities = OP most of the game on BBB. This on top of wasting 3 points in AXII for the extra dialogue options.

RPG# 463727845 where Alchemy can be pretty much ignored completely and I'm fine with that. Fuck Alchemy.

Your level is good, just check for places of power to get some extra skill points.

They seem to disappear from my map at times, are they just not there or not showing up on the map? The one in Novigrad isn't there all the time, so I will meditate a few hours and he shows up.

That whole story arc bored me to tears and ended anticlimatically. It literally ends with the one character laying down saying
"sorry, geralt, my throat...talk later"
and the quest ends after a 2-4 hour endeavor. I thought it was a low point especially coming after the Baron thing. I think it doesn't help that those characters just annoy me.

The entire Novigrad stuff just bored me.

Yeah that would definitely fuck things up, not being able to craft better gear. I'm keeping multiple save files because of these random bugs I keep hearing about, like this and not being able to craft bombs you bought recipes for.

So, after being fine yesterday, there's like a 2 second lip sync lac on my game today. Restarted to no avail. Have also had floating wolves and a drowner swimming on land.

Is the game particularly buggy? Kinda spoiling things a bit.

Completed all contracts. Finished almost all quests. All that remains are some treasure hunts, racing, and Gwent. And obviously any ! I've missed and will need a guide to find.

Looking forward to getting stuck into Gwent, but a part of me is depressed the journey is more or less over :(.

How many hours did it take you?

Also, I'm still waiting for the patch

You won't, but there is an event that will change his future

Early/Mid-game spoilers
If you don't invite Keira Metz to Kaer Morhen, Lambert gets killed by the Wild Hunt. She doesn't really help your fight much there anyway.

Is there any quest arc that takes you to the guarded temple thing area near the Nilfgaardian camp in the south east of Velen? I never went there, and can't get in.

~139 hours, take 10 maybe for idle, to do majority of side quests and all main quests along with a significant portion of points of interest. Took about 5 more hours to clean up leftover contracts/quests.
