have you tried coming back later? i remember saving some people on the road from bandits, returning to see them all eaten by drowners, and then coming back to see them in tip top shape praying again.
Since my friend is having a problem I thought about asking you guys if you know if this is a bug or he is doing something wrong.
But since is far ahead of me in terms of completion, I can only explain little of it to not spoil myself.
The quest is called:
Great Escape:
He is stuck trying to
Help appreciated
Thanks

Find sorceress Margarita
He is stuck trying to
climb up a hole. Pressing the jump button makes just that. Making Geralt jump, but not climb outside. Bug or is he missing something?
Help appreciated
Thanks

Stand against low wall for a few seconds before pressing jump button, if that still doesn't work, reload a save.
This is a known glitch that they haven't fixed, I got the same thing.
What he needs to do it run against the wall on the left side of the wall and try jumping into it that way. If he is able to time it right, he will glitch it and jump straight up.
There's another section he can get stuck in depending on a choice he can makes.
If he says he'll steal the horses, he's going to get stuck trying to get inside the barn. There's a barrel on the left side of where you're supposed to climb. To get on the farm if he gets the glitch (which he probably will), you need to get on the barrel, jump towards the ledge and in the midair try to move Geralt to the left.
After a few tries he should be able to glitch it and land on the top of the farm.

This video shows how to do the first jump.

And one for the second.

That's likely, given that CDPR removed Arena from vanilla TW2 prior to the release and made it available later on.
Deus Ex:HR Missing Link reset your character stats.
And that's a mighty fine DLC.

Good lord. Today statistics popped up by accident. I thought I had 40 hours in only, I actually have 4 days and 13 hours! Holy shit. I'm still lvl 13.
How did this game did that to me? I'm a father & husband!
Now I understand why me wife is upset with me.

No reason the expansions couldn't be built around scaling. And they should be.
Anyone know how to get the Source of Power at the south most area of Velen? The area right around the place that is guarded by 3 Wraiths and a Moon Wraith (guarded treasure) and also around the area where you went into the caverns with Kiera.
It's marked as below the ground but I can't seem to get to it. There's also another Question mark by it that I also can't seem to get. I tried to go back into the cavern which was story related but couldn't get to it still as it was a dead end.
On a side note it's kind of bull shit that you get lvl11 weapons from beating a lvl24 Contract (I was lvl16).... what the fuck man.

I am pretty sure this game also counts the time you have been paused. I played it the first day, with 3 hours of it being paused and it counted 6 hours instead of 3.

That's awesome. I'll take it.
Agreed.
Anyone who complains about TW3 lacking content with a straight face is pretty much insane.

That was a damn fine review.
But I really don't get how you were able to finish the game with most sidequests in 130 hours.
I am 120 hours and barely started Skellige.

There's a shocking lack of Shani content.

turn off hairworks, instant +10-15 fps
I get 50-60fps on a 980 FTW
hairworks off
1440p
everything ultra
AA off in game, foced through Nvidia
Glorious.
Significantly less impactful if the audio samples stutter a tiny bit inbetween every line - weird PC glitch that I got.

How expansive is the expansion supposed to be?
Also, the new area in the expansion, what kind of world is it? We have islands, flatlands/marshes, mountainous area...what's the new area about?
yes I hate this shit. The second you get near enemies you start walking in molasses. I realize it's to get rid of the "lock on" manual button but come ON.

I just beat him.Such a quick Jab! caught me off guard quite a few times.
My pic after i got him.
I couldn't beat him after several attempt lol.
Yeah, I just got this and it looks great. Has more of an 'adventurer' feel than a lot of the armours.
However, I'd absolutely kill for a cloak armour like the 'Shady character' guys who walk around Novigrad all the time. Having a proper cloak which Geralt throws off/unhoods once a fight starts would be utterly badass.
Is there any armour like this in the game? Like with a cool cloak/cape?
Someone said a few pages back that they will intermittently get rid of your stuff.
I've never seen this.
Personally I just find an abandoned house near a fast travel sign, call it home, and drop all my unwanted-yet-wanted stuff. Not had anything disappear yet, after 15 hours of playing all my books and some valuable but underlevelled swords are still in Reardon Manor.

Game just crashed/froze during Pyres of Novigrad when tailing a thief. PS4 is totally unresponsive. This a glitch for anyone else?
Sad thing is that i believe the sleeveless is removed upon upgrading the armor. Almost makes me wanna skip upgrading it, lol.

So I finally started the game last night.
I failed my first side quest. I failed it in such a way that it felt like it was bugged and kinda ruined my first impression of the game.
It's the quest where...
Thanks.

It's the quest where...
you come across the broken wagon and the guy asks you to find his little box out in a wooded/swampy area. After some investigation, you learn it was more of a set-up than a random ambush.
Anyway, I go back to confront the guy, after almost getting killed by Drowners 3 levels higher than me (I just grabbed the box and ran away from them - they can 1-hit me to 50% health, so I'm not messing with them), and before I know it, he goes from standing in front of me to being on a horse galloping away - the second the dialogue screen ends and goes back to the game screen. It was very quick and unrealistic. One second he's on the ground, the next he's galloping off on horseback. Odd I couldn't just reach out and grab him before he got a chance to climb onto a horse, but whatever. So, I call for my horse so I can chase him, but by time I even get onto it's saddle, the other guy is long gone and the quest fails. But I do see his horse just standing in the middle of the road ahead by itself.
...? I'm hoping it was SUPPOSED to fail because I literally had NO chance to even attempt to pursue him. I was expecting a fun chase, but it never happened. I had no way to catch him on foot and the quest had failed as soon as I got on my horse to chase him.
It was very disappointing. I reloaded my save and tried it again, but the same result. Failed right after I got onto my horse to chase him. Is that supposed to happen? Was I supposed to chase him on foot?
So, I find myself still low on EXP, only level 2 and most of the creatures I come across in the starting zones are destroying me, so I'm just basically skipping past everything that looks threatening, which is kinda boring to be honest. I gave up and went on the easy fetch quest to get the Swallow Potion to help the lady who was injured by the Griffon. That one I was able to complete for some EXP. But still, the first quest annoyed me because it felt like the game bugged out on me rather then let me even have a chance to pursue that guy. I know we're not supposed to beat EVERY quest in the game, but good grief - that was the very first quest I undertook! Left me feeling cheated, but not by the game designer's choice, but rather a bugged/glitched line of programming code.

I did that quest 2 nights ago and didn't have the same problem.
Great idea, thanks.

That's not a bug. You either had to kill them or not kite them to where the NPC could see you. Think of it this way, if you're a regular ol' peasant and you see 5 monsters charging to you, are you going to stick around to bandy words with the asshole who lead them to you?
You can't think of this game like Oblivion or Elder Scrolls where the NPCs will go aggro dragons. They're EXTREMELY fragile. Without getting spoilery, that tidbit will come in handy for you later down the line.

Yeah. That happened to me. Took away from the impact for me.
Geralt mentiond Shani in a side quest. That's something.
If we're talking about the same, I read you can reach it during a quest.

So wait, - I was supposed to kill the Drowners? As in, I had no choice but to do it in order to complete the quest?
I was able to inspect the carts, the arrows and the bodies. Grabbed the box and fled back to the road.
So, by not killing the Drowners, and feeling them instead, the script for that quest was to be forced to watch the conspirator flee me without even chance to pursue?
I didn't kite them to him, bTW - I ran out of the "aggro circle" and then they went back to their original spot.
I then walked back up the road to where the guy was sitting by the fire. When I confronted him, I had the option to just give him the box or point out his lie. I chose to expose his lie. After that convo ended, he was already on horseback fleeing before I could do anything.
Was I supposed to lay a "Sign trap" on the ground before confronting him or something?

I wonder if the xp bug is a real bug, no one seems to know how to trigger it and confuses low xp gains, by design, with the bug

No you were just too slow.
Of course it's real, I just did a main quest yesterday that was supposed to give 1000 xp and I got 0. And yes, I was within the level range, it wasn't a greyed out quest.

No, you probably didn't notice you were kiting them into his range of view. I know this one because I did almost the same exact thing. I circled around the long way so they lost interest in me and everything went as normal. NPCs and monsters do not mix well. You are a badass witcher. They are basically just sort of covered in shite.
I just met Cerys and I like her, I want to help her be queen (since that's so obviously something you can do considering the conversation) over these other louts. Should I intentionally lose the race and then have drinks with them if I want the best outcome for that? I just smashed her in the race and declined the drink, but realized that might not be the best move.
