You may need an item from the story quests, if this is the place I am thinking of.

She's worth it man. Plus you're still early on in the game relatively, you'll be spending a lot of time doing other shit what's 5 hours? lol. It'll probably be a bit shorter if you skip dialogue.
I know that feel, Geralt.
Even if Geralt does, he won't really ever be at a loss for companionship - even into his old age. Geralt is player number 1. They hold a grand pageant each year in Novigrad for the top players of all the realm. Geralt wins every year but never even has to attend. He just accepts via illusory projection.
The stats update on that screen when the sword is unsheathed.

Ok, so is there a reason that the Chernobog or whatever runes all have +0 attack power? I thought maybe it was a % thing and applied one to a sword to see but nope, it shows up at +0 attack power. Are they broken? A joke rune? A bug? Something because I use the 0.01 weight mod?
edit: wait, is it something to do with bald mountain?

Supposedly that's a bug and they add 2 attack power or something.

hm it doesn't mention an item. i have the one from k.metz.
There is an item that dispels illusions. If you are in the cave I think you're in, you're going to need it. Hidden doors in walls.
Edit: I just realized you have it (the name was lost on me for a moment). Maybe you're in a different location.

Velen is supposed to be disgusting. Skellige Islands are beautiful.
How is this even slightly comparable to a ubisoft game? 48 hours is a long time to be 'bored' in.

Entered Oxenfurt for the first time today right as the moon was hanging low and then soon the sun began to rise as I was crossing the bridge. With the birds off In the distance, the tall buildings, the shooting strea and all that. Was quite spectacular. Would think it was scripted!

Yeah. Plenty to do and explore. Maybe Velen you'll spend a bit more theoretically main quest wise but plenty to do and explore in SI

yup. a couple hours into an AssCreed game is when the boredom sets in. with this game, it's just exponentially more enjoyable.

I think that's one thing I'm really impressed with even early on is how characters from The Witcher 1 look all nice and updated graphically yet at the same time look really close to how they looked way back then. Even just in the tutorial area,
seeing Lambert and Eskel
Its refreshing to see after playing something like DA: Inquisition where they gave so many returning characters from Origins or DA2 massive amounts of reconstructive surgery for the hell of it.
So kudos to the character artists at CDPR for that.

I just beat the game and I'm curious how long it took, but the Galaxy client just keeps saying 1hr 14min and I imagine it took a bit longer than that. I thought I saw somewhere in the game that tells you how long you've been playing, but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?
Also, utterly amazing game that needs to become a template for future open-world RPG's. In fact, this game has made me anticipate Fallout 4 less now than I did before it.

I don't think it counts when you are alt-tabbed and paused.
looking back, the last half of the game suffers in comparison to what came before, specifically the main storylines in Velen and Novigrad. My favorite part about the writing there was how it shaped up as you interacted with the characters involved, the interlocking, interwoven feel of it, and that's obviously gone once you embark on the rather linear path to W3's endgame.
It wasn't bad, but it stops being like, best fucking thing ever.
yoana ofc
one last thought - i really missed the feel of being in danger anytime i ran up to a mob of drowners, or the satisfaction of taking down a tough contract
game just gets too easy, for any build, even on death march. XP rewards for main quests are overly generous while the side content is too miserly with their rewards, and crafted gear breaks the game in half. 94% resistance to monsters probably shouldn't be a thing.

We must be playing a different game, im 90 hours in and constantly deciding between doing sidequests and the main story as i enjoy them both immensely.
Also i havent climbed any radio towers or tried to follow a checklist on journals and relics that they give you for completion.

Agreed! But on the plus side, we can experience this game over a longer period.

I have the same problem, any help would be appreciated.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
I don't have many Crowns now, but I've been fortunate to get everything I needed just saving up and selling extra swords, armors, and other junk. One time I past the weight limit, so I literally walked over to my horse, drove to the nearest town with a merchant, and sold the extra weight. I didn't once consider dropping any items I had on me just so I could move again.

I need help deciding which of the following two spells to spec into: the Axii alternative (convert enemies into allies) or Quen alternative (life-regenerating shield).
I was initially leaning towards Axii since the idea of turning enemies into allies seemed so cool, but after performing some tests, I'm actually more impressed with the Quen one. It seems like an awesome ability to cheese in order to regain health in dangerous areas. For example, you can kill off a pack of enemies until there's just one remaining, then bait it into attacking your shield and giving you back all your life before slaying it as well. It could also be invaluable in dire situations in which your health is really low and you need to pull something out of your sleeve in order to survive. Near death? Evade enemies until your stamina is full, pop the shield, let them whale on it, then roll away!
The Axii alternative, on the other hand, seems way more situational since it takes forever to cast and doesn't last very long.
So what do you guys think, especially those of you who've spent time messing around with both spells? Is the Quen life-regeneration shield the more useful of the two, and is the Axii one as situational as I'm thinking it is?

You'll be doing yourself a giant disservice if you think this is a Ubisoft tier game and skip it.
Seriously. Not even in the same fucking league.

Is crit damage a good build? Like a sword that may be -25 damage but has +75% crit damage? I guess that's only good if you have a high crit chance yeah?

You'll have to download a 3rd party app and start that app up everytime before playing. But it's hassle free other than that. DS4Windows works well.

Can anyone answer this for me who has beaten the game?
Is Iorveth even in the game? I sided with him in Witcher 2 so I'm surprised I haven't seen him yet.

Crit is nice but I did just fine with crits when I made a strength build as some abilities there grant more crit chance/damage.
No

Act 2 and three aren't individually as long as Act I imho, but still a large amount of playtime so no worries.

You have to commit to the build. There's a skill that gives 25% crit damage boost for every piece of light armor you have (cat school I think it's called) + upgrading your light attack skills + having swords that give a better crit chance and damage. I have the build and I crit a lot, the game is fun with it for me.

How do I defeat the fire golem??? I can't even get near it without taking fire damage.

The game isn't really broken up into 3 acts. The structure is more like
4 parts.
part 3.
That's good to hear. I might just do more side stuff then before moving on then.
