It's a real shame you don't get to see
the bloody baron again after he disappears. Would love to know what happen to him and his wife after they went away

I feel like I've pretty much run out of stuff to do except the last main story mission and a bunch of Gwent quests. I'm only level 24. Is that normal? Or have I missed a lot? I'm hearing about people being level 70 but I just don't see how that's possible?

Just count completed quests - there's 280 quests in total in this game and while some won't appear in your playthrough based on your decisions, it should still give you a good idea of where you are.
 
So I am looking of videos of the other endings of the game and man the console versions look terrible. The PS4 version has low res textures and a frame-rate in the low 20s.

Yeah the FPS is a real pain on the PS4. During the final sequence it's even below 20, really takes away some of the awesomeness of it.

You don't think it's strange for this traveling man who wanders all over the place to have a permanent home? Nothing out of character?

If they're going to have a storage system, they should just make it like in The Witcher 2.

Maybe read my posts before replying? I said a place to use as storage not a home.

Travellers having lock ups is an actual thing.

Just did Reason of State, spoilers
dammit Dijkstra, why do you have to be such patriotic fool. I do not want to kill him but obviously I cannot let him kill Roche and Ves. God dammit. This is one instance in the story where I am not happy with either choice here. What I would like to be possible, is defeat the Dijkstra's entourage, cast Axii on Dijkstra himself and punch him unconscious, knock some sense into him without killing him.
Dammit.
 
Speaking of "Reason of State" could anyone else not complete it? I did what the above poster did and was told to
wait until things calmed down. But after that I never saw the market for the secondary quest ever again. By the time I went to do the final mission it says I failed the quest.

I can now see why so many PS4 owners didn't think The Witcher 3 had the best graphics out there in the thread I made.

Meh, i think it looks incredible on the PS4. However, the graphical fidelity of games isn't something i really pay much attention to.

Yeah, i agree. Dijkstra is one of my favorite characters in the game. I thought he was more of a bro to Geralt than that. But like you, there was no way i was going to let him murder my other bro Roche.

Just out of curiosity, what did you do in the great Woodland Spirit quest ? It's a very good Witcher quest, without any
perfect ending
.

Not all quest parts give xp. Which one was it?

The end bit
after which he went to Kaer Morhen
. Maybe that's the reason, I just had the feeling I hadn't been getting exp. points for ages.
The beginning of Death March is rough, very few quests around your level and very little XP for the ones that are.

Battle Preparations quest:
Thank God for the dialogue option "I don't even know what Sunstone is" because it accurately describes my sentiment. I feel like I've missed 3 minutes of exposition dialogue and sailed on an escapade for a Mcguffin I don't have a bloody clue about. And it seems no one else other than Avallach knew either.

It's really one of only two problems I have had with writing in this game...first was
the absence of Saskia and Iorveth, I was so much looking forward to meeting them again (especially Saskia, even cured her in TW2). And now this, Dijkstra just behaves too stupidly here, and I lack a non-lethal option of dealing with him. Really such a shame.

Wondering how much I have left.

I just got to the quest where I'm gathering friends to go to the misty hidden Isle looking for Ciri.

so question on the outcome of this...

im on my second play through and I let djikstra do whatever he wanted. the reason was I read that if you side with Roche ciri is more prone to become an empress. I wanted her to become a witcher. which she did. I am now hearing you CAN side with Roche and have ciri as a witcher still. and that the only difference in options you make is whether you choose to have ciri meet the emperor or not. can anyone confirm this?

Yes, I did exactly that and ended up with the ending you wanted.

You're in the middle of Act 2, so I'll say somewhere from 5 to 10 hours left depending on how many side quests you have left to do.

Character spoilers for, uh, the dramatic sequence that takes place in a castle (the name of the quest itself is a spoiler!):

Does Lambert die if Keira is not there to save him? What does Letho do if you recruit him to the fight? Can you get Dijkstra to come at all and what does he do if so? And I presume Cerys joins up if you make Hjalmar king?

Hehehe no, in fact
Cerys is too busy with the busywork Hjalmar has assigned to her so Hjalmar comes even if he's king

Yeah I sided with Roche, and kept Ciri always away from the emperor and she became
a witcher
in the end.

After knocking off almost all the remaining quests in my log I figured it was finally time to set sail for the
Isle of Mist
... it just happened to be during a serene sunset and the long voyage offered bittersweet reflections of a hundred hour journey all punctuated by perfect musical accompaniment. Man, it was moving and I don't want it to end :). This game!
 
Done after 117 hours. What a ride. Now the wait for Toussaint.

First this guy

Trying to grind out the 50 headshots achievement.

What a fucking nightmare. I have no way of knowing what counts as a headshot and what doesn't.

Feels like I killed 50 of them long ago. Probably something CDPR threw into the game without actually play testing to see if it was practical.

Apparently the screen shakes for a moment when you kill someone with a headshot.

Damn this game is way too big for me. I can't find any quests or contracts that are suited for my low level. I think I'm just going to power through on easy.

You can do contracts and quests a few level above you without much trouble, especially if you start investing your skill points in signs, Igni, and Quen being the best. I think dropping it down to easy will really stifle your enjoyment of the game.

Not sure about Lambert cause I had Keira there as well but Letho just helps out and doesn't cause trouble. Roche and Ves are pissed that Letho is there but they all still help out.

Lambert dies yeah

Letho joins you and Lambert on the hunting party

Dijkstra sends financial aid

No idea about Hjalmar/Cerys

So I found a MAJOR bug in
Reasons of state

When you need to kill Radovid, you can get stucked just in front of Radovid, with no cutscene triggering after you defeated all soldiers. To avoid this, I found only one way: when the fight starts, just run directly in front of Radovid. Here, kill all opponents. Yeah, it's BLOODY hard because there are a LOT of shielded dudes, but you can manage to defeat them by playing safe and control their minds, plus Igni. When all soldiers will be gone, the cutscene should trigger.
Not a new/unknown bug. Had that happen on my first playthrough. Just restarted the quest and it fixed it.

Just finished, really happy with how the ending works in this game, hope the guys at Bioware are taking notes, this is how you build a story with choice and not have the ending feel like a multiple choice test.

I could nitpick a few things but there's not much point, this is easily my favourite game of the last 10-15 years.

I only hope that paid the DLC is good because I want more.
 
There's a quen spell effect cast inside the oven, look again.
He may be fooled but doesn't mean he can't make some sort of back plan for the baby
The Quen is just
so the door can't be opened by the possessed dude. There's a dramatic close up of it thwarting his attempts to open the door a split second after Geralt casts it. If Geralt didn't feel guilt/anxiety over the death of the child then the plan wouldn't work.

That whole sequence is just amazing. Easily one of the best quests in the game.
