So I noticed that I have started to get 9xp on all the quests I do.

This game is incredible. Will Western devs be able to retake the torch? The only group I can see putting this kind of care and heart into a game anymore is Rockstar.

I like Bioware/Bethesda but man, CDPR has changed the field.

They've been doing so since The Witcher 2. Bethesda can go kick rocks really. Bioware hasn't let me down yet either (I know...I know...)

Do you eventually find the treasure maps to these at vendors?

Sine I reached Skellige, I haven't seen treasure maps to Witcher gear other than Ursine.

Found the original Griffin set out in the wild, somewhere in Velen I believe. Found one piece and that started a treasure hunt quest-chain. I then looked up the Enhanced and Superior set locations online. I wasn't about to find that shit by myself, frankly. You can find all the stuff out in the wild, in different locations. If you explore a lot I can see how you'd encounter all the basic sets, as you only ned to find one to start a quest-chain to find the rest. Enhanced and Superior seem to be better hidden tho. I think the basic sets are found on POI question marks.

They're sold around Velen. Can't remember which vendor specifically. I know the cat stuff is sold in Midcopse.

Oh, so they're maps that tell you the locations. Didn't even realize it.

Did you guys pick Triss or Yennefer?

I think the decision comes too soon. I know absolutely nothing about Yennefer to commit to a decision. :(

I'll ignore the "Now or Never" sidequest for now to see if I get more of Yennefer. How long until she appears again? I'm about to go to Skellige.

Also, if you
let Triss go, will she appear again? Is there other chance to romance her after that?
(romancing Triss spoiler)
Triss, but if I could do it again, I'd choose a solitary life for Geralt.

Yennefer plays a major role most of the main quests on Skellige, so she should be there right from the start.

Whomever you choose, Triss will have a minimal presence in the game after her side quest.
You won't get another chance. Both relationships are based on a single dialogue choice.

I fucked up going for both lol.

My Geralt is a whoremonger, that's just the way he is. The Triss part seemed out of character though, wish I had redone that bit.

Where do the low level quests start in Skellige? I know a lot of yall said that they're easy to miss because the game doesnt really push you to go there until you're a lot higher level.

Yeah they're square maps that have folds through them so you can tell what's a witcher map. If you read the first map it'll run you through the original owners background story as well. Parts 2-4 are upgrades.

Can you equip more than one saddlebags? I see people with huge inventory capacity and I only got the +30 saddlebag.

Or are there skills that do it?

On my second play through I skipped novigrad and went straight to skellige around level 9 or so. I just wandered around, picked up every quest I came across, and did a bit of the main story with Yennifer, I'm now level 14. Most will be too high level for you, but there's enough out there to get by.
 
Just finished the campaign, game was incredible. Great story from start to finish, I usually give up on open world games half way through. I'll definitely come back for more, still have a gazillion side quests to do
 
Welp, just finished "The Last Wish" (the quest, not the book) and that was the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen in a video game.

After seeing how much the politics of the Northern Realms drove the narrative in Assassins of Kings, I was worried that the more lighthearted, personal tone of many of the stories in The Last Wish (the book) and The Sword of Destiny would completely disappear from the franchise. I couldn't have been more wrong, and frankly, it's staggering to see how diverse the various subplots in Wild Hunt are in terms of tone, scope, and subject matter. CDProjekt RED delivered. The Witcher 3 isn't a perfect game by any means, but thanks in large part to the great writing, it is one that will linger in my heart and mind for years to come.

Started today on Death March. Still not very far. Largely exploring for the most part and trying to unlock the various sign posts for fast travel. Got one Place of power and found another, but it had a wraith that was way to powerful for me to handle. Will tackle it once I've managed to get the necessary tools.

Doing the Twisted Firestarter mission and unsure what end scenario to go with.
Saw what happens if I turn him over and the consequences of that. Not doing so didn't seem to lead to any problems, but I'm convinced if I don't turn him in the whole forge will be burned down for good.

Some time ago I read someone talking about a level 40-something witcher contract. What was that about? I'm level 33 and I've exhausted all contracts, I haven't finished the game yet though. Is there post-game content or something?

I'LL TELL YOU WHEN I'M OVERBURDENED. *hic*

I think I'm out of smuggler's caches

I guess you're using some sort of cheat.

? Nah, overburdened doesn't do shit in this game. You can ride the horse, fast travel, heavy punch and spam dodge, etc. I just wanted to clear out the bullshit in Skellige.

It doesn't let you run though.

I have so much money right now I open those shitty crates and either leave everything inside or pick it up and drop it. :p

Running is for scrubs. Heavy punch and dodge roll is faster than running, and if you get the right rhythm you can do it indefinitely.

Hello everyone! I have a quick question, How many hours do I have left before I beat the game? I just started the
Final Preparations
Main Quest line. If I ignore most sidequests, how much more gametime am I looking at?
 
Some enemies do that when they lose enough hp.

Ghouls and vampires for sure.

Werewolves too. Maybe elementals as well.
Yeah it's a f'ing werewolf. Hard to kill something when I'm doing something like 100 damage and it instantly regenerates 101.
Edit: Fucking bulll shit!
Edit 2: Fuck these load times!

LMAO...poor Roach. That's animal cruelty right there. I find that heavy armor pieces, weapon and armor repair kits, and pelts are the primary culprits to why your inventory weight gets maxed out so quickly. That and monster trophies. At one time they accumulated an extra 19 pounds to the inventory. Time to sell those heads, Geralt!

I have no clue how I am supposed to win these high stakes games of gwent. My first opponent dropped 5 spy cards on me and had about 20 cards in his deck before I finished the first round.

This will be fun.

I've no idea how you'd beat a Nilfgaard deck except with another Nilfgaard deck. The sheer amount of cards they can throw at you is crazy. Though, with spybombs winning the first round should be a priority.

Gwent's so good.


And just a general reminder for everyone: there's a Gwent |OT| for discussion and such right here.

Read the bestiary entry for werewolves. If you don't have that yet, the bomb
Devil's Puffball
will stop its regen.
 
well i just finished that tower quest for kiera and (spoilers for her questline)
i can't believe i had to kill her. i made the sex with her to be sure but then i demanded the research back at the tower after and she starts going all in on me.
i did not see that coming :eek:. this game continues to blow me away

Heard that there's a really amazing quest only available if you made a certain choise in The Witcher 2.

What is it, and will I be able to play it if I let the game use the "standart" choises in the beginning?

I wonder if I was scripted to lose that first match. Not only did he get freakishly good cards, I was given the absolute worst possible cards that gave me no chance. I just laughed it off.
