Spoilers for 'The Ugly Baby'

drinking with the boys was such a great moment. Only game where I actually watch and enjoy the moments like this.

Quick question guys, is there any consequence for romancing
both Triss and Yen?

I'm a
Triss man
myself, but was wondering if you could try with
Yen as well and not have the story do something about it

Hah, before going to Kaer Morhen I went to Novigrad to get a beardcut (clean shaven Geralt = best Geralt), checked my quest log...hmmm everything done...except the gwent tournament...so I joined and another gem, just awesome quest all around, even met a minor character from the books, which was a cool surprise..too bad my Geralt is faithful to Yen :)

Even managed to win it, "Sasha" was the hardest opponent, she used like 6 spies against me :D
And then I get to Kaer Morhen and first the beauty of the place is just stunning and then the pitch perfect dialogues/bitching starts, with Lambert and Yen...
This game is just so masterful, Sapkowski himself wouldn't be able to write it any better.

I am 160 hours in. Just arrived in Kaer Morhen. Yeeeeeah.

I don't know about the game time left, but you can easily do that two contracts at lvl 31, especially if you already crafted your mastercraft witcher gear.
I just completed them today without any trouble, i was in the same situation.

Can't say I'm too pleased with getting half the agreed upon pay for the
dragon contract
. Having Geralt just go with it really suck me out of the immersion. He makes threats over little things but won't stand up for himself when someone threatens his livelihood.

You have to
lie to him and tell him you beat a dragon of legends
to get your full reward.

I heard there's a sepcial "quest" and various remarks in cutscenes if you do that, but didn't test it myself.

Question about Gwent progression (early game spoiler0

The Baron took off to fix his wife, and I didn't play him in Gwent before he did. Seeing how he's the first in the Gwent competition in Valen, have I screwed up this quest? I noticed I can go to his office to progress, but am I missing out on some cards because I can't play him directly?

His unique card should be in his desk, if he is gone.

So I've yet to win a single match in gwent. Didn't even win the tutorial. Preferred dice to be honest.
Click to expand...

I'm the exact opposite. Gwent is brilliant, one of the best in-game minigames in any RPG. And the fact that it ties into the main game so much, where you actually are buying cards from vendors and finding them as loot in the world makes it so much more appealing.

I must have played at least 5 hours of gwent so far, and I've barely scratched the surface.

I recommend trying to figure it out... it's a great game.

Unless they make some changes in a future patch, yes, you'll miss some cards.

Finished the game. Just in time. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and i'll stay away from my pc for a whole week. When i come back it's time for arkham knight.

Steam says i played the game for a total of 109 hours.

Well, it's a masterpiece. Janky at times. But still a masterpiece. One of the best games i've ever played. Some of the quests will linger in my mind for some time.

I believe i got the bad ending:
Geralt kills the remaining crone to recover ciri's medallion and ends inside the building while being surrounded by monsters.
After the credits roll it was sad to see him alone in kaer morhen. It felt like he is traped in this limbo world.

Back to the boss fight. I can't believe how easy eredin was. He barely touched me the whole fight. The mage before him was a lot tougher.

Massive Baron's questline spoilers
If you do things out of order, the fate of the orphans is really unclear. They supposedly show up at the Novigrad orphanage if they live, but I'm far ways off from that. I freed the tree spirit before I ever met the baron and the ladies, and the spirit never mentioned anything about the orphans. When I got to the meeting with the crones, they mentioned how delicious the orphans were, and they weren't mad at Anna. Then later in the conversation they say something like "the children got away and you exposed them to great danger". When I went to rescue Anna she was still human too. So there's a lot of conflicting dialogue in this scenario.

Alright sounds like I shouldn't tempt fate.

My real problem is I prefer
Triss to Yen, but have heard that you spend way more time with Yen later in the game and Triss is pretty much not present that much after Novigrad. Is this true, because in that case, I might go for Yen simply because it will fit better with the story arc

Can anyone confirm this?

Hornwall Horn question.
I hear it can scare off sirens. but where exactly do I get this on Undvick? I keep hearing people talk about it being around the archer you find in the the mission where you help Hjalmar defeat the Ice Giant, but I actually skipped over finding that guy, so I have no idea where it could be without someone pointing it out.

It's the truth. People have even complained to CDPR about this.

I think he actually gives it to you, so I'm not sure you can get it anymore. It's not that useful, since it only works on Sirens.

I
turned down Triss, so I can't really say, but I don't see how Triss could be more present in the story than Yen.
Story-wise, Yen, Geralt and Ciri are extremely bound together by fate, so the game naturally makes more sense if you chose Yen over triss. Despite Yen's strong personality.

It's true, unfortunately. I'm quite unhappy about this, actually.

Well, I'm cleaning up and I didn't expect Olaf the fistfighting champion to be such a great character.

Kidding. That cutscene is priceless though.

Well damn. In that case, I'm going to console command it in. Wanting to get all the smuggler's caches in the Skellige waters is a pain without it.

This game is so damn good, what did the recent patch do?

I had problems with the camera before, not sure if they fixed anything. Used to give me a headache but I feel it's a little better now?

Question about Keira
Does letting her take the notes to Kaer Morhen change anything, or does it not matter?

So what I need to do that mission?
Because on the mark there's the yellow mark directly upon him, do I need to wait for him to talk with someone else? :S
Click to expand...

The mission is
Practicum in Advanced Alchemy
, which you should have already triggered for him to have that yellow marker. It's an annoying bug but you haven't missed out on anything.

Question about the quest: A Matter of Life and Death, specific about Triss:
At the fountain should I have kissed her? Will I get the chance again to choose her or Yen?
Or did I fck up with her?

I've got a game-stopping bug in a quest regarding junior's arena:
I can't open that secret door at the basement. I've read igor's note, and i know i have to activate the torch on the right. But Geralt just enlights it or turns it off. No way to open that door where the chest should be. No way to do with the witcher sense as well.

This is the door i'm talking about:

Some people in the offical forums have the same problem, since release, but it seems CDPR hasn't fixed it until now :(

Anyone else with that problem?

You have to
kiss her. When the time comes, no matter what you say you will not be able to romance her if you skip the kiss.
