bro what are you even talking about
Apparently "ikebana" is japanese for "flower arrangement".
I wasn't. I did get the XP bug, I didn't even think it was a bug honestly until the devs confirmed it. I only did Keira's questline before doing every single available contract and side quest in Velen/Novigrad and Skellige up to like level 22-24ish. Geralt was about level 17-19 when I went back to actually start the Baron, Bog and Pyres quests. I got no XP whatsoever for dozens of main quests straight up until I had to go and get
Uma.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The first "point of no return" retains the open worlds but locks off a few side quests and warns you by literally having the game pause and a pop-up appearing telling you as much.
The second "point of no return" towards the end game has a character openly specify that there will be no turning back once you start the next quest arc.
You can return post game to clean up minor side quests if you happen to finish with quests unresolved, as long as they're not major secondary quest arcs concerning important characters.
I will always find this moment hilariousGeralt: Potesta...Potestaquisitor? Sounds fancy, complicated.
Yen: Yet it's ever so simple. Grasp it firmly, move it around, the louder it squeals, the closer you are.

sorry, my auto correction strangely twisted what I wrote and I didn't double check.. I was talking about those comic-like sequences, much like the ones that you get when loading a previous save state, that you sometimes, very rarely in fact, get at the end of some quests.

man, i'm really glad they released that useless armor and crossbow dlc this week.
There is an instant health recovery potion called White Raffard's Decoction (not a decoction despite the name) but that's quite later.
Usually, they're used to summarize the way your choices have affected the world or to clarify some world state change that's not immediately apparent.
I'm not sure why such a tiny side quest got a
Triss, Yennafer, save reloading questions.
So I romanced Triss and told her so love her. She still seems to be going to Karen Morhen? That sucks.
I reloaded an old save and romanced Yennafer. I assume you can choose to tell her you love her later on. Should I wait until then so I can flirt and etc. before I do the Now Or Never romance with Triss again or is it fine to go now?

THIS.
So much resources. I prefer games where the player is a bit more constrained. It doesn't have to be like a survival, but I had like 300 alcohol, crafting material to do two of each final armor of each type (griffin, cat, beat), 30 unused repair kits, 20k of extra gold even buying a few major runes and glyphs, and only in the last hour I drink all the water I had picked during all the game.
And I still had 100 question marks to explore, it isn't like I cleaned the map.
I feel like they should've committed to either choice: either make resources actually rare or, if you want to make a loot-filled game with stuff everywhere, make the things you can craft actually cost a worthwhile amount. I have like 200 leather and making the most badass armor in the game costs, what, like 15?
Trying to appeal to everyone on the planet, like they did here, just never works out. Pick an idea and stick with it.

Not sure what's happened to them, they seem to be out in the U.S but not where I am in the U.K, last couple of weeks they've arrived on the Wednesday.
Yeah, seems that they are not out in Europe yet. Should be available later today
Definitely not on the Euro PSN, and there was no mention of the in the PSN store update for the Euro region either.

So I got to the first area after White Orchard (where you have to dress up and meet the king dude), then decided to return to White Orchard and clear up. Well I've been going around, finding undiscovered locations, doing treasure hunts, killing enemies and so on and I don't think I've received any XP. I'm still on Level 3.
Is this the XP bug?
Is this the XP bug?
Doesn't sound like it, no. I did everything I could find in WO and I left at level 3.

Oh, I guess that's cool then. I kind of prefer it when RPGs hand out XP for everything though.
Anyone ?

Unless you're doing main story/secondary quests you won't get a lot of XP. Doing what you're doing you'll get something like 10, 20, 50 XP. I think I must've been lvl 3 or 4 when I left White Orchard and I cleared the entire area before moving onto that mission where you meet the King.
Yeah, I checked yesterday evening and no sign of any new DLC.
Then turn back now, because you're headed for 150 hours of fairly unconvential RPG gameplay. There are quests where the only reward is the well-written story and dialogue, no +10 sword of deadly doom or anything!

No man, I love what I've played so far. Even listening to the stories told by the incidental sidequests is fun. Still nice to receive 'stuff' for your efforts though!
No there is a potion that just restores a chunk of health instantly.
Is there a guide on missable sidequests anywhere? I had no idea that the game had time-sensitive quests. I apparently missed a crap ton in White Orchard (such as Twisted Firestarter) and I dread to think how many more I've missed.
I just started "The Play’s The Thing" in Novigrad and I've largely been focusing on the main story while only doing side quests that seemed really important. No clue how far into the game I am but I really hope I haven't missed much.

It's hard to say?
Insult - yes. Beat - probably, since that was her plan going in, if they've agreed on it. RIP OFF HER FINGERNAILS? There's just no way.
I agree. Do they think everyone is still on Level 1 or something?

Correct, the DLC is not out on EU PSN.

Yeah. Felt more like a fight with the camera. I died three times in frustrating fashion but killed him pretty handily on the fourth.
I locked on and just reacted to the sound of his teleport. I think people will be able to do that fight on DM blind pretty easily.

It's just damage control for all the fanboys getting angry over CDPR charging for the expansion pass.

Most fanboys were pretty happy with the expansion pack as far as I recall.

Had no idea about that either. Would like to know too if there is a guide.

Cut content or not it's all made pretty goddamn irrelevant to me given the content is nevertheless free and Wild Hunt isn't remotely in the ballpark of lacking content as it is. Assuming the paid expansion packs will add as much content as CDPR are advertising, they'll each easily eclipse the free additional content added to both The Witcher and Assassins of Kings. CDPR were very generous with their Enhanced Editions, but arguably outside TW2's arena mode the added quests were relatively short and sweet. Nothing that would consistent as an "expansion". Much of the free Enhanced Edition content for both games was aimed at presentation.
A quick google came up with this.

I'm pretty stoked.
I have a feeling having a new area will mean around the same amount of content as an area in Witcher 3 right now. So probably about the same amount of quests that Velen has. I'm also stoked because Toussaint was in the books, and it'll be interesting to see it! We'll probably be seeing a lot of mines and wine cellars. Oh, and I hope (book spoilers)
Dandelion's duchess past love is there!
Shit, my quest is bugged with the
he's stuck in the mountain and can't reach it , damn it .
I had to come back because when I first tried this quest I was way too low level and now stupid monster is stuck in the mountain .
Also got a Stupid question, how do you unlock the key binding on pc I am using a DS4 and want to set the touch pad as the map button .

Goddamn I'm really running out of shit to do before the patch. I don't want to advance the main story without finishing the King's Gambit (bugged as hell till the patch hits) quest so soon I'm gonna be out of available quests and contracts and treasure hunts and then its back to ?mark grinding.
