Yo I need to buy more Northern Realms gwent cards, where should I go? My deck is okay but I want to overpower that sucker and everybody keeps giving/selling me Elven or Monster or Southerner cards.
 
act II, but you don't get to have a heart to heart with her until early Act III.

Also fyi when you reach Kaer Morhen (Late Act I/early Act II spoiler)
it'll be mentioned that Yen did something. Inspect what she did to get an item you can give to Triss for an extra dialogue option

do you mean
the bed yen tossed out the window? is it out on the ground somewhere? how do you even get to Geralt's bedroom, or the room you started the game in?

Finished the game and man, what an incredible experience!

The ending I got
was great as far as Ciri was concerned - she became a witcheress. However, the love story was a debacle - I tried to romance both Yen & Triss and got neither in the end. Sigh... Really wanted to be with Triss - seeing her resplendent face in the garden earlier in the game made Geralt want to bite! :)

A couple of snaps:

yes. it's located
go all the way through kaer morhen up until the doors that actually take you to the inside hall. Do not enter. Go to the left of the wall and you'll find the destroyed bed outside

DLC quest was cute. Short but sweet. Book callout too I think.
 
Lambert quest
Did you guys kill Karadin or spare him? I felt like he was lying, Hammond talks about Geralt "interrupting their business", and his letter just says I don't want to do business with you, but it was signed Karadin and not his fake name.

Spared him. Even if he was lying, killing him wouldn't achieve anything.

I let Lambert kill him by himself while I watch him from a distance.
He's more than capable of doing that.

Been pretty busy lately so haven't had much time to play. Just got to Novigrad (level 13) and, damn, it's big! The fist fight (you guys know which one) is definitely the worst fight in the game so far. I ended up cheesing it with
tawny owl + igni to make them burn in place + 2 enhanced grapeshot bombs.

50 hours in, it's still incredible!
 
lol I totally forgot about that little detail.
He seemed fishy but I believed him.

I didn't believe him,
Hammond alludes to them currently doing business. And his fake name was suspicious, as was his letter to Hammond telling him to do business with OTHER (wink) merchants. And the dude basically killed a fellow Witcher for money :/

So I chose to side with mah dude Lambert over him.

ERMYGERD!
I love scoping out a bunch of monsters you've never encountered before, taking a best guesstimate as to what they and their vulnerabilities are, applying the proper preparations and going at them. Struck down a wyvern and a bunch of harpies in this manner yesterday, without taking damage.

So, I'm still not that far in the game, but I've heard things.

Regarding the Witcher 2. Is there any reason in retrospect to
Spare Henselt? I let Roche kill his ass and was happy about it.
As it seems so far that Radovid had him killed no matter what?

Also I read that the Roche path is seemingly considered to be the "canon" path, since supposedly
Characters from the Iorveth path do not appear at all, and none of the events of that path are supposedly mentioned

That part is fine by me since I only played the Roche path and felt satisfied with how it played out.

Roche's path felt more canon too because the story focuses on Foltest. Iorveth's path is more about Philipa and new plots other than what started the story.

I think the real question is, is there any reason to kill Henselt? There's a great weight put on the act of being a regicide, and Roche doesn't seem to take joy from the act if you let him do it.

Yeah, that's sort of why I stuck with Roche. His path was all about finding the killers of Foltest which led them to Kaedwen and Henselt/Dethmold who turned out to be less than helpful and then betrayed us. So I was more than happy to follow Roche to get his revenge, and then double it in Loc Muine.

From what I heard of the Iorveth path, it was more about Saskia and trying to create a new "utopia" land. But in the end I felt it was an unsatisfying path because Philipa got away.

The quest is bugged
there's a letter on the big guy from Karadin basically saying "I'm done, leave me alone" but when you meet Lambert in Novigrad, Geralt acts like the letter didn't even exist. Really does feel like there should be another dialog option. Killing or not killing him doesn't seem to impact Geralt and Lambert's relationship iirc. They still seemed buddy buddy later on
 
Started up the first game and its kind of interesting seeing everything after finishing the trilogy

In case anyone is wondering why Yen threw out that perfectly good
bed

Haha I remember that part. It is so strange to roam inside Kaer Morhen, it looks so familiar with the first game. I remember the cauldron where I brewed my first potion. Pretty much everything.

End game spoiler.

Sad as shit that everyone left/died and it is empty now.

Got the Zerikanian Saddlebags/Saddle. You don't have to buy it from that merchant in Novigrad, you get both of them from Skellige races.

There's nothing left to do now :(

And the Wolven Glade is such a serene and lush area. Just stumbled on it as the sun was rising, and when the music stopped playing I thought something was about to happen, but then....nothing. Just the wind.

Looks absolutely amazing at noon. Isnt that the place where there is
about 4 different packs of wolves and a leshen. They all came after me, it was a tough fight but I beat them all. Thanks to Alt+Quen.

Spared him I didn't feel like making a widow of his wife and leaving "his" children without a father figure, after all Geralt is searching for his own "child" at the moment. Plus that one letter off of the dude's body seemed to suggest he wanted nothing to do with his slave trade business. I wasn't 100% sure of the dude's guilt so I let him go, I figured that if Lambert really felt strongly about it he could kill him by himself. I wanted nothing to do with that. I also just don't like the idea of Witchers killing Witchers, it's why I spared Letho in TW2.

Woops, double post.

Need help guys.

I ran out of those antidotes Reuven gave me. How can I get some ?


Did you use them outside of the mission? I barely went through one of the potions, and I explored most of the sewer available.

Damn it felt satisfying razing that Witch Hunter place to the ground.

I set that in motion within seconds of walking in lol.
Witch Hunter slapped Triss and I was all, "You know what? I really don't care if literally every other person in this building dies. So fuck it."

LET THE MASSACRE BEGIN

I would've thought
by burning their HQ they left town or something but nope, with the mages gone they just burn elfs and dwarves instead :/

I managed to
constrain myself after the first slap. Got to the stair when the hunters hit her again and said fuck this shit.

Massacred and teabagged every single one of them.

I'm disappointed I left for Skellige as late as I did (17). That quest to get there is incredibly misleading branded as a lv 16 quest. I get there to discover a much lower level Novigrad quest has cancelled out a quest (Flesh for Sale) I could have done had I left for the islands much earlier. I really hope there isn't many others you can screw your self out of.
