DLC still isn't up on Steam, I really want that wolf school armour, the mastercrafted version looks great. Also, the Xbox One and PS4 both have screenshot features, why don't people use them?
 
Been catching up on the main quest after finishing every side quest i could (And having loads of POI in Skellege left) and just wanted to see how far in i am for the main story.

I have just found Ciri and we have gone back home in preparation for the Wild Hunt attack

Any help would be great.

Well you are pretty much nearing the end, that's ~half of the last act.

Speaking of the DLC, anyone know an RSS-subscribable source for the latest releases?

Neither their official news site nor the client offers the latest DLC images or details on time, and is usually found on third-party gaming sites first.

Question about the "gear" treasure hunts.

When you track them in the quests page, they have no marker on the map?, is that correct?, the idea is to just stumble upon them (as I have a couple of them)?

Even though I have brought the maps from merchants, no marker appears on the map when tracking them, and I just wanted to know if this was correct.

Normally there will be leads with trackers, which after you find the treasure will give you further leads which enable the trackers for other parts.
Make sure to read what you get or buy as well.

did anyone else have the problem that dlc cannot be downloaded and you get a "not authorized" message?
I read that "buying" the free dlc pass would solve it, but I have that already.
 
lmao. don't even need to argue using the practicality angle, this is just comical

It just seems one of the concept versions of the dress she was going to use in the ball with the masks, but in the end the other dress was chosen and this was scrapped. It doesn't make ANY sense to use this as a "daily" dress.

70 hours in and that's me just about to go to Skellige. Didn't plan on going just yet but I have a few quests here in Novigrad that need me to go so I'm just gonna go over for a while. Some of the quests I have left here in Velen/Novigrad are high 20's/mid 30's. I'm level 20 at the moment so not gonna attempt them yet. I'll come back once I've leveled up a bit. I need a change of scenery. Velen/Novigrad is cool but been here for 60 hours now.

At what level do people usually finish the main story? I'm lvl 22 and just started the "Ugly Baby" quest.

I guess it varies from one player to another, depending on how many sidequests we do, but let say I do all sidequests I find that are lower level than the main story ones...?

Great, thanks for the help.

Another quick question, can you go back and finish all the points of interest after you finish the main story? I know it mentioned the 'you better save here' before going
to the mist island to find Ciri
so i saved a separate file but wanted to know whether i would need to do the POI on my previous file or continue to finish the main story.

Woo finally beat the game on B&BB difficulty. Spent a lot of time doing all the contracts and quests and earning all the trophies I could before finishing it up, which was pretty cool except a glitch that happened against the final boss.

Trophies left- Collect em all (ugh), Trophy for Deathmarch difficulty, and the Marksman crossbow trophy.

Regarding the glitch,
when you are fighting Eredin, after taking off about 10% of his health, he will create a portal and throw you through it. You will then fight him until he has only a sliver of life left, and he will escape back into the portal which leads back on his ship. Well my first time fighting him, I must have gone through the portal ahead of him somehow and he never teleported back onto the ship, so he proceeded to spam me with ice meteors over and over with only a sliver of health, while I couldn't reach him to finish him off. Finally I died, and had to do the battle over. Very frustrating, but it's a pretty easy fight with Troll detoction (constant health regen for 30 mins)

Regarding endings:
I got the Ciri becomes empress ending, which was sad, but at least she lived. Settled down with Yennefer, Dykstra is dead, and so is Radovid. Love the way the multiple endings thing happens. Think I'll go for the Ciri dies ending next so I can kill that last Crone.

Anyone on the PC version using GoG Galaxy and getting "Authorization failed" when trying to update the game?

Think using the "Run as administrator" option on the GoG Galaxy client solves this. Remember I had a similiar problem a couple of weeks back and that solved it.

Do I really have to go to a big city everytime I want to get Geralt shaved? I hoped you'd be able to do it on your own.

Also god damn Velen is just awesome so far, some truly "What the fuck is that!?" moments.

Novigrad, Oxenfurt, and a couple of locations in Skellige as well. Gotta go to a barber though, can't do it yourself.

Got the plat last night, collecting the gwent cards was the last one now waiting on ng+ and dlc.

Do you have to save/reload to get all the random cards from the NPC players to finish your deck, or will just playing everyone eventually guarantee you the entire set? Clarification, I know you can get duplicates of cards that you already have, and you can only win 1 card from each player, so stands to reason if unlucky, you may get too many duplicates and be unable to complete your set. Just want to know the best way to tackle this awful trophy.

That Triss outfit is terrible. It's even more revealing and elegant than her Ballgown and we're supposed to think it's her everyday outfit.

The fight with
Imlerith
is maddeningly fucking stupid.

Seriously why do games put piss easy but long sections before a boss just goes nuts. I have to spend 10 goddamned minutes getting to the piece of the fight that actually fucking matters and then I just hop around like a fucking idiot and if he stun locks me oh well try again.

How is it even possible to reach 30? I'm near the final mission and only level 24. Sidequests give me zero xp.

If you ignore a lot of side content, you will outlevel it from the main story and it will only give 5xp for completing. I reached level 35 (Munchkin trophy) on the 2nd last mission- right before the final boss. And I had a lot of quests I was overleveled for and got 5xp.

Basically if you are 6 levels higher than the quest it will be "grey" in your list. If you are within ideal range (+/- 5 levels) it will be green. If you are 6+ levels lower it will be red. Onec a quest turns to grey, its worthless for xp.

Although 24 is very low, and I can only assume you had some story missions not give exp due to the glitch. Even if you only do story with minimal side content, you should still be around level 30 when you get to the end. Story missions start awarding 900xp later on.

Quen + roll like a mad man. Axii helps as well to slow him down.

Damn, double post sorry.

You don't get XP from quests that are too far below you level, and the main quests give more XP than side quests. To have a high level Geralt you need to do most or all of the side quests you have available before you do your next story mission.

I'm a completionist so it's working out like that for me. If my next story mission is level 16 then I'll go and do every single side quest I have that's under that level. Rinse repeat. I have over 100 hours logged now and I only just
met up with Yen in Skellige
. Level 19 at the moment.

Not even a little bit bored. Probably my favorite game ever.

Upgraded Quen is what finally did it.

Still annoying that the first part of the fight was so damned easy and yet long... made repeating it even the measly 4 times I needed to really annoying.
