2 is pretty awesome, and worth playing, just know the scope is much narrower.
Harder to recommend 1. I think you should try if you have a PC to play it. It's not like it's expensive.
Also, read the books!

1 is really uninviting and a completely different beast, but some people love it the most. 2 is a little more accessible, but feels like a less accessible 3 all around. Also the story is very very political.
If that sounds ok, then by all means.

Where do I go to access the dlc? It says to look in tutorials but I don't see anything there.
Really beginning to get a bit bored of this. Im playing through it but I feel im forcing myself to and not really enjoying it.
Im at novigrad doing the
. Haven't been to skellige yet but I look at my map and see all the ?s and just think I cant be bothered.
Cant put my finger on it. Maybe just a but repetitive.
Will keep going though.

Pretty elaborate considering she didn't even go into the house when thinking of stuff
What's odd about that whole quest is that
according to Geralt to trick the Hym the person has to feel genuine anguish over what they've done, which would mean Geralt had to actually believe he threw a baby into an oven and not know it was some kind of trick?

Just when I thought I couldn't find an armor set that looks as good as the Mastercrafted Ursine set, I crafted the Mastercrafted Feline set, oh my.

Yes and yes.
If you finish everything in Novigrad and Velen, you'll be at level 20+ or even 25 and way overleveled Skellige quests. Some quests in Skellige start at 15-17.
Yeah, you're still far away lol.

the circumstances and arguments they bring forth towards him are enough to convince me that
for him it's the best option to help due to his friends being threatened

Was actually dissapointed by mastercrafted feline, I feel like that set looks less special the more you upgrade it.

I actually think the opposite, the lower levels of it looked really bland to me, the first level was basically just a vest. I love the collar and mix of chainmail and studded leather on the mastercrafted version.
I have not played a game this much (non-multiplayer) in ages. It's definitely a great game. I don't know how much game is left, but I'm at the quest called Final Preparations. I'm already contemplating a second play through so I can make different choices (romances among others) and do different secondary quests and contracts. I let so many secondary quests expire because I got sucked into getting enthralled with the main quests. I'm definitely going to get the season pass when it's time as well. I had zero intention of even buying this game as I own Witcher 1 and 2 and never put more than a few hours into each, but I got it for free with my gtx 970 and thought why not buy this brand of the card because free ain't bad. Best free bundled game ever.
Some semi-spoilerly Novigrad level 15ish questions regarding Triss and a couple other quests around there.
She's already left and I asked her to go to Kaer Morhen. Doing other quests Geralt has remarked on asking Triss about items (a figurine in Zoltan's quest, an item in Phillipa's abandoned hideout). Am I going to get a chance to ask her (or say, Yennefer) about these items or am I screwed with her not being in Novigrad anymore. I presume I'll see her later in the story, just want to know if I've missed out on a couple quests.
Your taste in women is lacking.

There's a point in the story where Triss returns to Novigrad, and you'll have a chance to do them then.
Ewww... I actually did that one for a bit. I now regret looking like that during the Triss missions.

There should just a be high ponytail without having to shave the sides, I like the default look the most but I don't like how it clips through the collar on some chest armor.
It hasn't been confirmed but steam outed a new set of Gwent cards and a "Fool's Gold" Quest as next week's DLC. Besides those we also still have DLC references in the game's files to :
Ciri Alt Costume
Triss Alt Costume
New Game+

Just a quick question for those that finished the game, does the game end in a way that it makes sense that Geralt would continue doing side quests after the main quest is finished?
Sweet, thanks!

Over-leveled most quests, I'll have to switch to death march, I guess.
Turn off the "?s" and only do them if you run across them in the world. They are completely unnecessary.
I like the viking marauder look.

I've tended to get my hair and beard styled to go along with whatever my adventures are at the time. Novigrad always means a fresh shave, and usually one of the shorter hairstyles, like the mop top. Thought the same thing about channeling some inner Jaime Lannister. But once I head to the isles, the beard grows out, and the hair gets long.
The only one I can't stand is the shaved on the sides, short on top with ponytail cut. That one is never in the rotation.

The trick to beating wraiths:
Before triggering the fight.
Coat your blade in Spectre Oil.
As soon as the fight starts:
Go into the inventory screen.
Take a Tawny Owl potion to boost stamina recovery.
Take a Thunderbolt potion.
Make sure Moon Dust bombs are equipped.
Now back to the fight:
Use Quen immediately and once the wraith approaches cast Yrden.
Stay near the trap and coax the wraith into it. It won't damage it but it will make it become solid so you can hit it.
When you get a chance throw a Moon Dust grenade at the wraith.
Smash it with fast attacks. Keep triggering Quen and Yrden. If you take damage use Swallow, cast Quen and try to recover some health.
I've demolished wraiths a few levels above me using this method so it definitely works.

Should I wait for ng+ for the second playthrough? I want to carry my character over to the death march difficulty.
It was so great. I'm on Team Triss so when I was being mean to her she
pushed me into a portal which teleported me 100 ft above a lake... I had to swim back to Kaer Morhen. So fucking good, I was laughing pretty hard.
well the reason I wasn't, at 70 hours or so, was that I was trying to do all quests around my level, and I had a TON.
The suggested level is general. You could be level 18 with shitty gear and have trouble with a level 17 monster, or you could be level 18 with enhanced witcher gear and good character points and breeze through level 22 stuff. That's why it's important to not only level up but explore and find good gear and mats.
Yeah true but it's a little bit extreme considering his "witcher code", isn't it ?
Witchers don't really have to be neutral and Geralt certainly isn't, it's just smart to not get involved in the political intrigue of people you have no allegiance to
and I really doubt that a plot such as this would ever work outside a goofy video game where you can repeatedly keep murdering henchmen of a king who hires you, even in the center of a large city, and get away with it. Every step of that plot sounds like asking to become somebody's puppet, if not straight-up suicide.

Is it worth it to do the enhanced etc armours or just skip to masterclass?
you need the previous version for the next version.
There is no witcher code, it's just a basic set of guidelines which are going to help these developmentally challenged killing machines survive in the real world and prevent people from taking advantage of them.
Geralt's witcher code is his own and he still finds ways to bend those rules.
