what the fuck was up with the completely random
Soldier Statue
quest? o_O

Geralt just
pulls a statue out of his ass and asks Triss to change it back to human and its some random guy and thats it, nothing happens...whut
. Also its a lvl 14 quest and I only randomly got it at the end game (when Im 32 lol)

What am I missing?
It was an item you had in your pocket since Novigrad, you could get it to her than, but apparently you did not.
Dammit, just did Triss'
Now or Never quest, except I didn't mean to. I was going to her for a different quest, the one with the magic statuette and it railroaded me into her final quest and now she's gone and the quest I meant to do is uncompleteable.

Most of the time the overlapping quest design is great, really adds to the game but I really feel like it dicked me over on this one.

check the spoiler from Rhaknar :)

Having trouble with the Big City Players gwent quest, I
defeated the Scoia'tael merchant and I have the Ciri card but the quest is stuck and the objective to win the card doesn't complete.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Man why the hell do you have to press L3 twice to call Roach? It's really awkward to do and it's not like just pressing it once does anything unique on its own.

I just completed the Baron/Witches sidequest, I saw a thread last week about it being one of the greatest quests of all time and thought it was probably an exaggeration. It was absolutely amazing, the sight of
The Baron swinging from the tree in the rain
was fucking incredible.

Is there a decent guide somewhere that explains all the possible outcomes of your various quests?

Got a complete set of mastercrafted armor. My ursine/feline combo looks perfect together once mastercrafted and gives a great combo of bonuses. Really pleased.
 
Question about baron quest

I've done everything I can and found his daughter but the wife is still missing. The next objective says follow remaining leads but there's no map marker. Do I need to start the Witches quest to proceed now?

Does anyone know if Gwent is affect by the game's difficulty? I'm planning on playing Death March as well getting into gwent to get the trophies.

I don't think so. Be really careful if you are going for the gwent trophies. A lot of cards are easily missed. I just did a death march playthrough and got all the contracts, combat, side mission stuff out of the way, and now I am focusing only on gwent. I need 30 more cards, and the plat is mine.

I've been busy as hell for the last two weeks so I haven't played this game since version 1.01 on PS4. I just found time to pick it up again and now it's playing like complete dogshit. I'm extremely forgiving about performance issues too, so the fact that I'm bothered by this says a lot. What happened?

Here all missable cards.

Yeah.

Spoilers, duh.
 
I think the skill trees are almost to the point of being broken. With a sign focused character, I've had to sit on multiple skill points during the game because I have no skill slots to put whatever I would unlock in. And you can't just focus on a specific build with less skills, since you need a certain amount to advance to the next tier.
I can't wait for a mod to give more slots, or remove the tier system, so you can just get the skills you want.

Game runs better in 1.04 than in 1.01 from my experience.

The talent tree could definitely have been better thought out, but using such a mod would definitely break the games balance even more.

How long can I wait to do Triss's Now or Never quest?

I'm about to finish up the Novigrad questline, then I'm going to head off to
Skellige to see Yen and figure her out a bit more. I'd like to make a choice once I've done some stuff with Yen.
Is there an expiry on Now or Never, like the end of Act 1 or something?

I just tried to start a new game (2nd run) on Death March difficulty, is this game really telling me I'll lose all save data related my first run? Or am I being stupid?

Wow, the quests involving the son/daughter of the Jarl and the ones following were something else. I think honestly this has the best quest designs I've ever encountered in an RPG.

Just finished it, best open world action RPG I've ever played, the world feels alive, the quests are really well written and the writers also know how and when to make jokes.


The fatherly scenes with Ciri were amazing

How much of a step up is death march from the one below? Thinking about turning difficulty up to compensate for being overleveled for the main quest

One of the main reasons I don't use a lot of potions/bombs in combat. They really needed a system similar to the Souls games where you can queue up several different items and scroll through them quickly.

As is, it's too annoying to constantly jump into the menu essentially after each fight to switch bombs. It's much faster to just meditate and use the same potion/bombs over and over.

Yep. And the menus themselves aren't that quick to navigate. Maybe with a mouse, but definitely not with a gamepad.
I end up forgetting bombs even exist, and only always keep Swallow handy.

And I hardly ever use oils because I forget them when fighting regular enemies, and fighting bosses often starts with a cutscene/meditation which resets them anyway :/
(just beat
Jenny O' The Woods
and the
Merry Widow
and yeah, thanks for letting me prepare for the fight, game)
 
I'm well into the game but still haven't used adrenaline points yet. You need to use your ability points to unlock skills that utilise adrenaline points/adrenaline meter?

Yeah, but they passively increase your melee damage without any talent unlocks. Skills that use adrenaline as resource mentions it in description.
 
Ok I did the cat treasure hunt quest and it was exactly what I needed. For once in the game the quest let you actually think for a moment, it didn't hold your hand like every part of this game does. Minor spoilers
it tells you to go under temple isle but the marker is not specific so some exploration is needed
. To me the "how do I reach that" moment in video games is one of my favorite things so I was so thrilled to finally have one of those moments in this game.

First I took a boat around the back of the island to see if there was an underwater entrance, there was not but I did see the entrance on the cliff . So I went back up and found the path to the side of the cliff and in the cave. Then inside the cave was an actual puzzle! It was simple, moving some statues but still a quest where actual thought is needed and I am not simply following red glowy stuff. And it ended with
fighting a horribly mangled witcher,
totally awesome. If the whole game was like that I would be in heaven.

I find it useful to use the skill that lets you use an adrenaline point to cast a sign if your stamina is too low.
