yen got that sass.
triss sounds so bland in comparison tbh. it's cool that she's been in the whole trilogy but i immediately found yennefer more interesting.

It's because Yen is totally awesome and Triss just lives in her shadow and thus acts as so.
Yen is one of the most powerful mages in all the world while Triss is one of the weakest and she's even allergic to Magic.
Yen is so powerful that she snubs the Lodge (which in the books seems like a pretty crazy thing to do) and decides to go it on her own. She's one awesome biyatch and wants what she wants and forget anyone who gets in her way. The Last Wish quest was one of my favorite moments in gaming, especially with the choices I decided for the whole thing. Such a great full circle.
But Triss is a red-head (gotta love red heads).... and IMO they made Triss look worse in this game than she did in W2. Her character model looks better in W2 for some reason I just can't quite see.
Same with Roche. He looked better in W2.

Ugh. Glad I didn't let that happen. That's horrible. I saw that used as an execution method not long ago in a manga series called Wolfsmund. I don't even...

There is a Fiend you come across on Skellige during a contract that is a little bit more tricksy than the normal ones... be prepared to die. He's a tough one.
Or, you know, just burn them
Well obviously he's not playing on Death... nvm.

That was one of the last contracts I did. I was ridiculously overpowered so I missed out on the
hypnotism
Glad this game isn't pulling any punches. Finally got to Novigrad and witnessed the first scene in the main square. Just goes to show there's no "good guys" here with all this being done with Radovid's blessing, despite the fact he's the only one standing against Emhyr. But then again anyone who played the first games knew he was always a bastard at heart from the Witcher 1 being a silent supporter of The Order of the Flaming Rose to Witcher 2 and his implied threats. Of course Phillipa's craziness had a hand in making him even more paranoid and deranged no doubt.
Man, has anyone asked or heard how long it took Geralt's VA to do all his lines? He's just got so much dialogue I haven't the faintest idea how he managed to do it all. Must have taken a long time.

lol. same happened to me as well. luckliy, i didn't have many more problems with races after that incident.
Unfortunately I do, the quest is still in my active quest log even though there are no more objectives for it, so I'm guessing it's bugged. That's what I get for caring about things like this, lol.

Need some help. I'm in Velen and yet to get to Novigrad and have all the Griffin armor ready to be crafted but I can't find a master armor in Velen. Is there one in Velen or do I have to go to Novigrad to find one? If so, will that ruin any quest lines in Velen going to Novigrad early?
I was so confused until I realized that you're trying to craft griffin level 1. You don't need a master for that and you should really have already visited Crow's Perch, which has a journeyman armorer, at this point. You're doing a bit too much side questing if you haven't been there yet.

Even for the level 1 Griffin weapons all I need is a journeyman blacksmith also? Thanks for the help.

Crow's Perch for Armorer
Oxenfurt for Blacksmith
You can go to Novigrad or Skellige even, and it won't affect your current quests. Just that the loading video might spoil some things if you do go there. Just to be sure tho, have a backup manual save before you go to any new areas.
So glad I bought this game. GOTY by a mile for me.
The story is fantastic and even the sidequests are fun. Normally I am not into exploration but its alot of fun here. Its especially rewarding to explore since it makes all the stories come together. This truly feels like a living breathing world.
If it keeps on beeing this good it might become my no 1 GOAT.

They're as interesting as you want to make them. Signs, bombs, potions, decoctions, oils, etc, make fights go really quickly.
Yen > Triss many times over.
:/ Turns out the achievement is for Human and non-humans only (So humans, elf, dwarves, etc)
Have to do it using the Devil's Pit respawn but I finally got it. 52/52 done, now I can leisurely roam the lands for POIs and then I can be done with this game until the first expansion is out.
What a ride, what a game, thank you CD Projekt Red.
Errr, hehe, that's the exact one I used the strategy on. Finally got the Even Odds achievement thanks to it

My god this game finally clicked with me. I think I just needed a whole spare afternoon to get into it, because damn the world and quests are amazing.
Just finished "Wild At Heart". Damn.

Read your beastiary and to learn about what you're fighting, each monster is weak to specific oils, bombs and signs.

beat the game today, got a pretty content ending,
, and i immediately started a new game lol.
but i'm a little confused about some things, like
also,
Ciri became empress, Geralt and Yen live together in stress free lives, etc.
but i'm a little confused about some things, like
what did ciri do about the white frost? first they show her facing it down, then she's back at white orchard with geralt?
also,
wtf happened to avallac'h after all this?

Seriously just ruined that part for me. Kinda assholish
Griffin master shematics are in skellige iirc.
But anyway, if you're still in Velen, I doubt you'll have the required level to equip the superior, let alone master gears.
The master armorer is in Crow's Perch, but to unlock it you have to do a side quest that leads you to skellidge.

So has anyone else given up on calling Roach? Seems like his pathfinding AI rarely brings him to Geralt, and actually riding him is plagued by collision detection errors.
Almost everytime I call him he spawns at an unreasonable locations, outside houses that has fences, street corners that has walls, behind the tress in an open area, etc and he always get stuck on those things. They really should spawn him in open areas. Hope they fix either the pathfinding or the spawn point.

Upgrade crossbow slowdown skill, craft some sharpshooter bolts, put low level bandits on fire with igni or slow them down with yrden and headshot them.
Northern Wind bomb might actually work on mobs as well. It freezes them giving you enough time to headshot.

Everytime I go ride on Roach I get so frustrated. They need to sort him out. Keeps straying from a path when ever he decides to follow it. Also gets stuck in stuff and completely stops at times which is annoying especially when doing races.
Damn, that's horrible. I decided to
and I regret it. I'm definitely gonna do a replay so please tell me there is a way to
?
Damn, that's horrible. I decided to
kill her outside the Fyke Island tower
keep her alive throughout the entire story
So stop using the auto feature and just ride him normally like you would any other horse in any other game. That feature sucks so there's no reason to rely on it.
edit: Maybe you should add end game spoiler there
Don't think so.
Would be most ironic though if Geralt can kill Radovid himself, seeing how The Witcher 2 story went. But I guess it's ironic enough seeing Roche and Geralt plotting to murder a king.
edit: Maybe you should add end game spoiler there
Good thinking.
I hated Radovid from the beginning, but after seeing what he does to Keira I really want so see him suffer even more...
Level 20 on PS4 now.
Instead of wrapping up the Novigrad stuff, I ventured to the Skellige isles and gathered up the Ursine armor set diagrams and crafted that. I have to say, the cloth animation on PS4 actually looks better than on my PC. On PC, the dress of the chest piece flaps around too much. On PS4, it is nice and subdued.

Just booted up the game and crafted 40 normal and greater mutagens. So definitely fixed for me.
Really? So I guess someone is wrong on CDPR forum :S
A user opened a thread to say the problem is still here. Well, if it works, better
Alchemy is fixed for me, haven't tried making a runestone though.
Well, there's the
missing miner
cockatrice? guarding a treasure in Novigrad
wyvern on Skellige flying around
Anyone who kills that monster is a bad person who should feel bad.
But, yeah, I'd be very surprised if we don't get a couple more contracts in the free DLC. Paid expansions are guaranteed to have a bunch, but those are a ways off...
