might have freed the spirit before meeting the ladies, maybe. I'm not sure on that, but I know I stumbled upon the spirit's cave by accident before initiating the questline properly.
Agreed 100%.

Another Thing is,
that after the Baron is dead, his Sergeant and his former Henchmen harassing the whole vicinity of Crow's Perch.
On a second read through, this has nothing to do with the above quest,
because the outcome with the Henchmen is the same.

I don't know if I got a good ending or a bad one. What's the differences?
If Ciri is alive, it's good. Presumed dead, it's bad.
Also,
The best ending is supposed to be when she goes back to Nilfgaard, but I like having her stay with Gerald.
Well that happens regardless of what you do, doesn't it.

I never played witcher 1 and 2, but picked up 3 last night. Its good but i don't understand whats going on really. Does anyone know of any youtube videos for people in my situation that recap 1 and 2?

That's pretty good.
If your game does not end with you hunting down the last Crone lady it's good.

Not impossible but it's a pain: you have to craft, drop it on the ground, craft , drop etc until you have all you need and then pick them up.

Get large saddlebags asap.
Also the hides were the big thief for me. They take so much space. Clearing out some of the junk in the fifth tab cleared up like 100 weight for me, lol.
I missed the start of this conversation – what is the situation here? I noticed I'm struggling to make red mutagens even though, IIRC, i've got a few in my stash
In Skellige I just found a +100 inventory space saddlebag
From the blacksmith's wife in Crow's Perch you can get + 60 or 70 I think.
If you're really struggling just find an empty house near a fast-travel point and drop your unwanted shit. It'll stay there forever. Call it home.
Act 2 question

Also how far am I into the game?

ust heading to the Isle of mists after recruiting all possible allies. I thought you could recruit Triss as well, I did her personal quest and she left with the other mages, I didn't get an option to ask her to go to Kaehr Moren. Did I miss anything or does she go to Kaehr Moren by default?
Nah, the witcher ending is the "best" one, because that's the one you get for sticking by her side all the way through.
The empress one requires you to disappoint her by at least taking her to seeDuny The Hedgehog Emhyr.
But it's not like the bad ending is without merit. It has some of the best cinematography in the game and what could have been the best characterization of Geralt if the writing were a bit better in those scenes.

Here's a retrospective for both:
Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiqMr0OvQog
Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSftIRQzYCM
You can buy a +100 saddlebag from a vendor in Novigrad, he is close to the entrance to the "poor part of the city" where you have to knock on a door to get in
It costs 900 crowns, so it is a blessing to find it
You can stop her from getting on the boat if you tell her you love her. Then she will be at Kaer Moren. I'm sure there is another way to do it as well.

Is there any clear indication what I can't do with triss if I want to go with yen?

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Heading home from a weekend vacation. Really hope patch 1.04 is available for Xbox One by then.

Wrong.
Visiting the emperor opens up Choice #2, but it doesn't give a negative effect on the ending as long as you choose not to accept the gold from Emhyr.Meaning if you don't kill Radovid, you can still have the Witcher ending like I did.

After reading on that ending, I also think the one where
ciri ends ups being empress is the better one.

There was an dialog choice for
Triss to stay, in the cutscene where you both say goodbye.

For real. 450XP. I was shocked. Teetering on 12 at this point.

Oh, that's good to know.
Making that a timed choice seemed kinda unfair, but I guess it's not so bad if it doesn't lock you into an ending.
I disagree about it being the better ending,
because it sounds rather out of character and it completely robs her of the "ending" she already got in the novels, unlike the witcher ending which at least restores one thing she seemed to be quite satisfied with.

Is the XP issue fixed on Xbox One yet? Just asking because that Target deal is looking pretty darn tempting.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
It felt like leveling up went too quickly once I started doing quests in Novigrad, like around level 10ish. Now at level 30 and everything is really easy, plus I got a shit load of side quests that have been grayed out. Wish they did a better job at scaling enemy levels as you progress, fighting a group of level 13 drowners or white wolves isn't even worth drawing my sword for anymore. I will occasionally get that level 29 mini-boss but even those aren't all that hard. I suppose I should just up the difficulty level.

Guys, am I progressing too fast?

Early game:
Just got to Velen and went to find that Hendrick guy. The recommended level for the next part of the main quest (finding either the Baron or the Witch) is level 6/7, but I'm only a high level 3. Should I slow down my pace?
sabertoothzombie
Member
I would say, slow down on the main quests. Don't miss out on those side quests and contracts. They have depth and you'll find yourself over leveled for the main quest after a few of them.
Yeah you got 500 for doing the first part, and then 150 each for each of the girls. I don't know, I kinda liked it. I was thinking of going to Skellige and that said I needed to be 16, and I'm still not there yet. For getting a boat, one of the areas has the big yellow circle around it, and there's a captain on the boat looking out, but when I talk to him he tells me to go away. The only other one I found wants 1000 crowns. Any ideas?

Yeah, I'm enjoying the side quests that I've come across. Location wise, where should I be headed for my level/this early on?

All of Velen is fine if you ask me. I would wait with Novigrad (I didn't go there until I was done with all main quests and all non-top-level-side quests in Velen). Go to some nearby village and check the message board for contracts and quests, then just do whatever is closest to your level. There are tons.

Patch isn't out yet, but you'll get more XP than you know what to do with.
The whole issue has been overblown to begin with.

I usually go to the different villages and look at the sign posts. I think I stuck near the beginning part (where you spawn in) for quite a while

You'll catch up and pass that soon enough. Being 5 levels below whatever you're doing is still ok

So I finally finished the game this morning. I have no idea how many hours I put in, better part of 2 weeks, about an hour or 2 each of the week days and id estimate about 12 over the course of the weekends. finished at level 30.
I really enjoyed my time with this game. I dont have much a desire to go back in and finish up the quests I missed but it was good adventure, lots of laughs, emotions, and fun. Best part is, it finally broke my Destiny addiction which has plagued make since release. i loved playing Destiny with gaffers but felt compforted in just going on an epic adventure on my own. Felt good.
just some critques:
-graphics are hit and miss.
Some times thsi game looks photo realistic. I remember riding up to the barons house just as the sun was comming up over the ridge practically blinding me. The light refected on the puddles in the dirt. some parts of the day looking over the hills are breathe taking. Skellige is espacally good looking However most time at night or in the cities (Novigrad especailly were so bland looking) seemed off, like the game lost all processing power and looked like a PS3 game at times. I think it looked great for the most part, but I just wonder what happened in certain areas.
-overwhelming crafting system
I wouldnt call myself a casual gamer, but compared to some of you I might as well be a 3 year old swinging at trees lol. theamount of things you can pick up, dismantling for more things, the huge inventory of items it was overwheling, so much so I stayed away from it for most of the game. I ended up trying to go after some
I chose the
and had to craft at that point. it probably took the better part of an hour or more to try and figure out what I already had, what it could be borken down into, what I would need to craft to make something that I needed to craft something else. I had to bust out a notepad to keep track of it all. I have frerinds who love this sort of thing in games to me it was alot of work. if there was an easier way to catologue and sort what you had it wouldnt be so bad.

Actually, there is a book that you can find before you do this quest. I don't remember where I found it. But this is what it says.
Edit: Whoops, wrong link. Let me find the right one.
Edit 2: Can't find a link, will take a screen shot once I get home. The book is called "She Who Knows".
