Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Crossbow is a good solution for pesky harpies, just jump in the water and one shot them when they dive. That's about all I use it for.

Really? i use it to bring down anything that flies to get free hits, also you can get poison bolts. OR the exploding bolts, those are fun crowd control type.
This.
As per what I know so far, he traded his life for her (Wild Hunt), and she didn't look for him or tried to get reunited with him even though she obviously knew he was alive, and only got back in touch when she needed him and treated him like dirt becasue while he was injured and suffering of Amnesia he had a liaison with Triss.
Manipulative and rather cold, she reminds me of Philippa Eilhart in more than one ways.
Compare that to Triss who (even though can also be manipulative) risked her life for Geralt on more than one occasion (after nursing him back to health in W1), and when reunited (even though he broke off with her when he got his memory back) she goes as far as risking torture and her very life to try to find Ciri. She obviously has a heart of gold (though again she can be a tough cookie).
Imo Triss is the healthy choice, the one that makes the most sense.
Yen is the choice for the obsessive/ unhealthy relationship type. I have little doubt that if the choice came she would let Geralt die to save her own hide. We know that Triss would actually lay her life on the line for Geralt or Ciri.
Also, Triss is a fiery red head.
F* Yen.
(I know many did)Haven't really come up against many flying things yet. I am just starting to explore Skellige tho.

GOTY and possibly decade for me. Here is a "final" thought about the game:
Spoiler about end:
Spoiler about end:
On the last quest when you go hunting with Ciri, when you start walking back to the town. I was thinking, I wish I never reach White Orchard and I wanted the walk to last longer. That really hit me because it became more than just a game. I felt like I had a real emotional connection to the story and the characters.
Too many of those bolts are high level locked for some reason, so I forget I even have them once I finally hit that level.
It's been posted ages ago, but the DLC armor scales at least once, but it's pretty high level. You probably have to go see the vendor again when you reach that level.

You do know Yennefer died trying to heal Geralt when he was stabbed to death by a peasant with a pitchfork during the riots in Rivia?

"Armor scales at least once" what does that even mean? As in meaning you can upgrade it at least one time?

Quick question regarding the points of no return in the game: I'm currently in Skellige (I've finished the main quests in Velen and Novigrad) doing the "Nameless" quest (the one with
). Now, I've read that I'm almost done with Act 1, so I'd like to know whether there is anything that I absolutely have to do before finishing that quest or whether I'll still be able to do everything at the begining of Act 2.

I think:
Yen's personal quest (should trigger after Nameless)
A Deadly Plot (which you've probably already done)

What???!
I need this.
Though in actuality, maybe I don't. Because not having the full griffin set bonus is adding some artificial challenge to the game. And right now it's a cakewalk on death march
I wonder why they decided to kill Yennefer during that recap. She's described as merely unconscious.
Probably for brevity, but it's pretty dumb.
Ending spoiler:
In that final moments i felt the same as Geralt, my heart broke. The game hits you really hard quite a lot of times, the characters are so well defined that you absolutely care for them.
Witcher 3 finally replaced my top favourite game of all time, Baldur's Gate 2, which held that place for 15 years. I honestly didn't think that any game would do that, but here it is.

Depends on if you need to horde runes and glyphs like I do. Greater glyphs and runes are pretty rare, and very expensive.
Otherwise you're fine. Loot everything not in sight of a guard, plenty of stuff to be found in Skellige.

Yen likes black and white.
Mods.
For me I just kinda grouped the whole sideplot together. The possession and undvik sidequests were great.
So that's a yes then?
CarbonFire

Yes, sort of.
You'll need them two more times
In Novigrad
Going to the masquerade party with Triss
In Skellige
Going to the wake with Yen, to get the "good" response
But by that time buying the same clothes again won't be that big of a deal, and you'll be hauling those clothes around for a long, long time.

With Hjalmar you go to
the Berserker village and uncover a bizarre ritual, kill a few and come back. You never actually find out who did it though. With Cerys' path I still have no idea of what kind of leverage Birna had on Arnvald to get him to go with her plan. It also wraps up insanely quickly.
Could I just hold on to the one set and sell the others?
lol. what about Skellige? It's not like you need a certain dollar amount to go there. Actually you only need $1k but then you get it back right when you land.

Yeah that was amazing.
Don't bother keeping that clothes. You will need some fancy clothes for a few quests, but characters will give you new ones during them.
Thanks!Some new info maybe today:

Is there a way to revert the slow mo bug other than loading a save? I basically can't use the crossbow anymore.

and done. whew what a ride. 83 hours or so (juding from the steam counter) to do every contract and sidequest that I could find. im sure i missed some random sidequests. I didnt touch gwent or horse racing (fuck horse racing with buggy roach lol) but I did every fight club.
Not much to say really, amazing game, not the perfect game or greatest ever many are claiming (every time a good game comes out these days its the greatest ever it seems, maybe im just old lol) but still an awesome experience. Easy 9/10 if one was to rate it.
Satisfied with the ending I got, although now the DLC will feel weird because...well Im done with this story. Im done with Geralt. I would prefer the DLC to be Ciri based for example, where you played through all that shit she went through during the game while you search for her. Oh well.
edit: forgot to say, its easily my GOTY so far, sorry Bloodborne (which I also loved). Cant see much else beating it for me, maybe X-Com 2 (I loved the first one and it was my GOTY for that year)

I think pacing is the issue here. Act 1 is like 90% of the game, Act 2 goes so fast that you'll think you're still on Act 1 (because it's so long) by the time you're starting Act 3.
there are no acts, people are just calling them acts. The game never mentions acts

Maybe I missed out on the beautiful moments because I resented the way she treated me for pretty much the whole game. The game didn't convey to me WHY Geralt felt anything resembling love for her. If she even for a moment seemed happy to see me or be around me, maybe that would change my mind. But all of my interactions with her rubbed me the wrong way. Which is the opposite of Triss.
But that's just my experience. It's a role playing game and I chose to play Geralt as someone who was tired of Yennefer's shit. But I'm glad they put in so many different options and outcomes for everyone to go their own route with romancing these characters.
