In the South, there is ONLY one kingdom here... It's Nilfgaard.

Sort of. For the game as it stands it's probably not worth going totally into it and naming off all the provinces, but the expansions will be traveling to a Nilfgaardian province, so maybe it wouldn't hurt to say that there are kind of kingdoms in Nilfgaard. They're just provinces and Nilfgaard exerts some control over them, from a little to a lot depending on the province. The 2nd expansion is heading to Toussaint, a province that is part of Nilfgaard, but not terribly controlled by them.

Also, I suppose it's important to note that Cintra was a Northern Kingdom, and a powerful one at that, but it fell to Nilfgaard during the last war (so, not the current aggression wrecking things in Witcher 3). It's a province of Nilfgaard.

Wowsers, barely level 12 and was considering giving it a shot.

Speaking of which I was playing yesterday and beat a level 20 leshen and I was a level 11, my heart actually raced during the fight. I have never felt my actual adrenaline kick in for a video game battle especially when it made level 22 wolves appear. At the end I felt pretty good like actually accomplished something.

For your first question, the location will unlock later in the game. I wish the game had made that clearer too.
For the second question, there's a pathway that will lead you to the cliffs in the temple island area. Don't look for the sewers or shit like that, it's on the far left of the area. Stay on the edge of the cliff, keep going down, you'll end up in a cave. Don't forget to pick up the Witcher Hunter armor on the way, it has pretty neat stats.

Thank you.

To clarify the second, If I am outside and walk to where the marker is from the outside (which ends up being behind a house next to a cliff) is that where I am supposed to jump down from the cliff face or is there a path or something that leads to it? I tried sliding down the cliff a dozen times and died each time or made it to the water and got stuck there.

Velen / Bloody Baron / Family Matters quest spoiler question:
I let the evil spirit out in the woods and both Anna is dead and the Baron hanged himself
What is the alternate outcome of this?
Click to expand...

Make sure to send the kid's spirit to the beyond with the Baron's help on your next playthrough. It changes a lot, even for Anna. Then it collides with Ciri's quest.

Don't want to spoil it too much for you, unless you don't plan to beat the game a second time.

You have to continue to the right, you're not supposed to slide down the cliff. If you continue to the right you can jump down and continue on a downward path.

I'm terrible at giving directions. Sorry lol

Er, what gave you that idea?
The exact wording of his wish is never stated, but it's
something that binds their fates together. The wish saved her life and impressed her enough that she became infatuated with Geralt, but she's a free spirit and a huge asshole, so she'd rather free herself from being attached to one person, magically or otherwise.
Click to expand...
I thought I'd read it somewhere lol.

Anyway
somebody said that she reversed the wish in the witcher 3 but she still loves him?

I'm so torn between Triss and yen :(

Lol just did a speedrace to a save prior to the point i was mentioning earlier that seems to be bugged because one and only one character won't speak to me. Gonna mention it to CDPR.

Anyone have any tips/suggestion on what I should make sure I DON'T sell or drop?

Should I hang on to any of my starting swords or anything? Any specific ingredients or items I shouldn't break down?

How about those things that seem to sell a lot, like necklaces and rings, should I sell them? Break them down?

anyone got any suggestions on this?

Anyone have an issue where the smith in Oxenfurt vanishes? I cant get him back and I have no way to craft my weapons now....

Meditate for an hour. Sometimes NPCs don't appear for me if I sprint into a location that isn't fully rendered yet. Other times the NPCs are there but don't talk to me. In both cases meditating solves the problem.

finally started going thru the main story line after finishing all the secondary quests at my level and finishing up the majority of gwent....


and Wow.....
Whorsun Junior is a real peice of shit... it was so satisfying when Geralt was beating the shit out of him. but I didnt kill him. I really wanted to because he's such a peice of shit but I felt like it's not Geralt's place to do that as a witcher. Its not what The Geralt Im playing would do rather...

Am I the only person that double crossed the people in the Woodland Beast side quest? I kind of want to do it over again but 200 crowns is hard to pass up. Of course I could just buy the fake pass from the guy a few feet away for 100 crowns and use the money glitch to break the game anyway. Hmmm.... decisions, decisions.
Click to expand...

I should have asked to see their leader to see where it goes probably but I didn't like their attitude so straight up murdered those fools. You get a few passes for free if you
knock out the Baron quests and I also got one from either a bounty quest or a regular side quest but I don't remember the specifics but the point being that you don't need to waste money on that guy's pass nor do you need to get it from the place you mentioned

Worth noting that, as much as I'm a sucker for Geralt and Triss, the short-lived romance between
Skjall and Ciri
is a fantastic example of how CDPR can do this sort of thing subtly as well.

I strongly suggest that people go down that path when it's presented to them. The late game payoff is very heartwarming.

Will keep it in mind.

I was just talking about Anna.

Obviously,
if you get the baron to hang himself, I assume the revelation that his wife is actually alive and is a slave to the Crones has little to no impact.

I meant the stillborn baby's spirit. Bad wording on my part, sorry.


Okay I've been confusing the tree spirit with Anna's baby this whole time. Just forget what I said. It's late.

i just found another romance opportunity in a side quest. it is the quest called
iron maiden, you can even fail the quest if you use potions or signs while in combat, but if you play it right and answer the right stuff you can get laid with this girl, she's hot too

sigh.

Guess now I wait for the PS4 patch to hit the US to see if it fixes my glitch. Funny enough it's such a minor fucking thing in the grand scheme but I don't wanna be left wondering what the conversation would say.

Goodness gracious, Triss is so hot and I like her personality. But I also like Yennefer as well and I might go with the canon story. These decisions are killing me. Good job CD Red.

Went to a barber who didn't look like the others. But
everytime I ask him for a hairstyle, I have a random one... Gerald tried to threaten but it didn't work.

there's no 'canon' story. The game makes it explicitly clear there's(light spoilers)
a possibility to end up with Triss too that makes sense with the canon

So choose as you like

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Novigrad has been a buzzkill for me so far.

"Cultural Capitol of the world? The fuck it is!"

Can't wait to be done in Novigrad and back out into the countryside.

I'm going a bit nuts. Trying to upgrade my Griffin Gear, and I can't find anything that drops or disassembles into Monster Tissue.

Anyone know what I need to kill / get for that?

in the story. Is the game going to be over within the next hour or two?

I'd give it another 3-4 hours depending on how many side quests you have. On main quest alone? Probably 2-3 hours depending on how fast you are.

Is it possible to plough
the Novigrad girl to whom you can give sword fighting lessons
?

I thought it was going somewhere interesting with her but it got interrupted abruptly when we ran into a couple of rude peasants.

If you have other sorts of tissue, dismantle it at a smith
