drop yrden, bait an attack, two swings, dodge back, she should attack, rinse repeat.

I find Quen is highly effective, but it's much more passive than the other signs obviously, so a lot less fun. It's definitely my bread and butter though, I don't enter any fight without the primary shield up and I re-add it as my first priority once it goes down. I also use the secondary for nearly all of my healing now. The only downside to it that I can see is that it's a lot less fun than setting dudes on fire, knocking them all on their ass, or watching them chop their buddy's arm off...

pretty much. kind of disappointing but meh, i just sell it.
The key to victory is not letting her health regen, take down those smoke doubles as asap when they appear.

has quen always been in the witcher games and worked the same way? it kind of makes the combat too easy.

While I understand and agree that what Triss did is pretty terrible, the fact is that she loves Geralt..she did not use him out of malice. It does not excuse her actions, but I cant really hate on her that much.
Still, Yennefer is The one, always has been.
It's not like she had to seduce him or tried to prevent him from regaining memory. She's in love and he's ceaselessly hitting on her. These characters tend to make mistakes, and as far as those go, this one seems only human.

I still think the most enjoyment I've gotten is exploring new places and PoI on the map, running into a monster 8-12 levels above me and grinding out a win
I kind of miss being a level 5 with everything out to kill me

Do whatever you want because most of the attack will do a tiny bit of damage.
it also gives you a bonus for adrenaline, which gives you bonus damage if they don't hit you and may allow you spam more signs.

Pesronal advantage? lol
"Establishing a normal romantic relationship between a man and a woman" is now a personal advantage?
It's not like she stole money from him.
Denton

Establishing romantic relationship with love of your best friends life because he does not remember her and deliberately not even mentioning her is pretty bad.

well,in the itcher 2 geralt remember yen exist and still don't care because as long as he doesn't have his memories,she is nothing to him..so even if she mentioned yen,nothing would have change.
the big difference is that here geralt have almost all his memories back..so he has to choose between his past with yen and the two-game srelationship with triss

you could've beaten the game twice during that time.
that's why you just reapply it after it wears out.

If you're going into the signs tree I wouldn't bother with explosive shield on quen or boosting its intensity. No matter what it seems to break in one hit.

I did always have a lot of trouble with the narrative putting Triss and Geralt together in the first two games. I do like Triss, but I've always been pretty uncomfortable with the aspect of Geralt's amnesia.
Really, though, The Witcher has a weird relationship issues between Geralt and his leading ladies. Geralt binds him and Yen together via a genie (which, unless I haven't gotten up to that point in the game, he wouldn't have asked her permission first), and Triss took advantage of a man with amnesia. Yen loves Geralt, but she'll use him, too, if she needs. At least they all adore Ciri.

I do love me some Yen, though.

Yeah, but I feel like that's the reward for upgrading your witcher gear. If the loot you found was better than the witcher gear, no one would be using the crafting system. I get what you mean though.
Got almost twice that and also still in Novigrad ;b You'll get even richer.

He doesn't remember anything. They started from zero, and it isn't like Triss raped him.
What would the point of mentioning Yennefer? From what Triss know, around Witcher 1, several years have passed since the end of the books, and Yen is a) dead or b) in another world. For all intents and purposes she is out of the equation. And it isn't like Geralt is going to feel anything for Yen just for hearing he was before in a relation with someone.
Would Triss have to respect Yen's feelings, even if she is in love with Geralt? Her love is any lesser than Yen's?
Maybe she did it for his sex card.

Did you miss the part where
the entire thing is a set-up to get information about the tower from Geralt, and where she cast a sleeping spell on him so that she can get to the tower and grab the research notes
It's just part of the rules. You can use this too your advantage too, play some "trash" cards and force your opponent to either pass or waste cards
it was useless in the first game, and even more overpowered in the second

Splitting someone in two with the unlocked power move is horrifyingly satisfying.

God damn it Sasha. Had the game done, ahead by like 50. Her last card was a spy, she had played scorch twice already btw. She gets another scorch and kills my double catapult. Last round she wins because neither of us has cards beecause fuck you Nilfgaard deck.

No need for that much effort. I had huge trouble with Jenny until I realized I could use Moon bombs. Then it went: moon bomb, go to town with sword, moon bomb, finish with couple more swings. It's like a 10-15 second fight like that.

I am not really sure how to use the DLC? Is there an OFF / ON button for skins?
What about the particular items ,in that case the crossbow and the Nifgaardian Armor?

Elena's awful, immediately found Chloe more entertaining when she was introduced
Same case goes for triss, she was Aiight until somebody far more interesting came along. The convos with yennefer are more entertaining imo.
Nearly killed it entirely with 9 cluster grapeshots. Then swung a sword once.

35 hours in and I've reached Oxenfurt. This is where I'll base myself now but probably not for too long. Got myself a nice new haircut and played some Gwent upon arrival. I'm level 13 right now. Still haven't

Any idea of how far I have left to go? Just need an idea of how much of the story I've done and how many more hours it'll take.

Wait what? You can't

That's messed up. I need those coins to fuel my rune habit.
search for the prize money so you can keep the whole pot

Come on. Really ?
Triss had no idea where Yen was. If Geralt came back, she must have suspected Yen could be back too. Yen and Triss are good, if not best, friends, with their point of conflict being Geralt. Triss knows Geralt has always loved Yen. But hey, now he does not remember her, so what ? He is mine !
Who cares that they have 20 year history, partially raised a daughter together and after enduring hardcore hardships finally got together? She is gone, he has no memory of her, I will make him mine !
As I said, I cant be too angry at Triss because she loves Geralt and unrequited love sucks.
But its still shitty from her.
And I completely understand Yen throwing out that bed

That's right.
particularly liked the ending text that suggested she'd be an excellent leader because she wedded Emhyr's political savvy with Geralt's basic human decency. That really is how I tried to play Geralt, including in my interactions with Ciri, and it was bittersweet that Geralt was robbed of his adopted child's companionship due in part to his in stilling in her decency and confidence in making her own choices

I feel like triss made up for it by risking her life to help Geralt get his memory back and clear his name in W2.Come on. Really ?

Well I guess that should be easily fixable due to DLC. I also hope they introduce housing in some kind of way. Loved it in Skyrim really.

glad this game has multiple endings that appeases of what the player thinks Ciri should become.
Yup. They could've easily add a trophy/storage room for him in Kaer Morhen or something. CD PR pls.
