Does that spoiler mean to imply that he's one of the official concept artists?
And, awww, of course he doesn't sell the one I want. (The forest one with the elven archer.)
But he absolutely is a nobody. He's some self-appointed, through violence, fake baron who all the true men in power in the region think is some useless ant.
That's not to say he isn't interesting and his story is crap, of course not, but he is a nobody both in the political game and the hunt for Eredin.

Short Question about Gwent, are the Havekar Healer and Hav'caaren Medic cards the same or not?
What
Fuck. Some days I have a good time and others I just want it to end. It's so good though. I'm really loving it but damn. I told myself not to play anything else until I've finished it. Seeing people beat it like a week after it came out made me want to give up haha.

I'm over 110 hours into the game and haven't been to Skellige yet and still have two main story missions left in Novigrad. I also have several side quests, undiscovered locations in Velen/Novigard, several contracts and treasure hunts. I will easily surpass 200 hours in this game.
I don't understand why anyone would want to finish this game quickly as it's that good and worth taking your time.
On a side note (spoilers) -
In regards to the side note, if anyone knows or not, please let me know. Thanks.

Does anyone know if you can complete a side quest which involves Triss helping you after you show her a certain item? Using the guide, there appears to be two of these quests and I did one of them already but Triss has already left Novigrad. Any way to meet up with her to complete the second quest? The quest is called - The Soldier Statuette

I don't think so but maybe I think these designs are fantastic especially the Leshen and the winter giant.

Im like 180 hours in according to Steam...but to be fair, I restarted the game after about 30 hours. I am pretty sure im not even halfway through yet. I am doing literally everything though. Going to all question marks, named quests, unnamed quests, contracts..everything. I have a friend who beat the game in like 4 days...

More like halfway I'd say. I spent most of my time exploring Velen and Novigrad. Nearly everything in Skellige is optional content and I was a bit overleveled so I kept most for my second playthrough.

Barely 10% in tbh
Heh, Depending on how you play I'd put the Baron at maybe 5%. There's so much disparity between play styles, as if you end up doing lots of quests than the game will take you much longer than following the main quests. But it's funny because lots of the main quests branch off into side quests that you feel compelled to do since you want to see how those plot threads pan out.
Just such brilliant design by the devs to do this.

Can somebody tell me where I'm at storywise as far as how many hours of strictly story I have left? I'm loving this game so much that I've pretty much been ignoring the main quest just to do everything else. Haven't even gone to Skellige yet even though I could have a long while ago. I just
met up with Zoltan and am going to talk to all the girls Dandelion slept with.

WHAT. I've played 15 hours and haven't done the Baron yet (though I have the quest). No way am I only 5% in.
Including the side quests that are related to the main quest, I'd say you aren't even half way through.
As he said, that depends of your playstyle, i.e. how much side stuff you do.
If you've already explored most of Velen, you're more around 15% in.
You'll still get a chance at finishing this sidequest but it will be way, way further down the main storyline.

Well, consider this. You can explore almost the whole world, do a huge amount of sidequests, find and explore all the question marks and still be at the start of the main quest. So you're at "5%" in the main story, but that doesn't mean you've seen 5% of the game.
That said, the Baron is more at like 15% into the main quest line, imo.

Just stay with Triss. You're committed at this point.
Yennifer is the canon romance according to the novels, that's all.
The play time counter on my game is bugged, but I estimate I'm in the region of 90 hours played. Still haven't visited Skellige yet. I'm going to wrap up a few more side missions before I finally board a ship and be on my way... which will probably add another 5 or so hours.
Also, the loading screen narration is clearly supposed to be from the point of view of Dandelion, same as the character archive. So why is it Vesemir that speaks? Did no one at CD Projekt notice?

That isn't Vesemir, its old man Dandelion telling the story at some unspecified point in the far future.
Is it really Vesimir? I didn't found it sounds so alike. For me it sounds more like an old Dandelion.
(It's plainly stated in one of these screens that it is Dandelion speaking)
Still exploring around velen/Novigrad area.
So I was down south, happened upon some ruins, found some stuff. But then there's a point of interest up on a hill that seems to have an invisible wall all the way around it. Can't get up to this burning thing I see, and have a damn basilisk chasing me. Finally gave up after about an hour of trying to find a way up.

it's the Vesemir VA. that confuses many people.
I assumed it was Vesemir, if only because his is the closest sounding voice, and the narrator doesn't have any real trace of an American accent, unlike Dandelion. Unless he loses it in his old age...
Bahahahaha the word "far" does not even apply yet. Enjoy the ride!

Man I ended up.killing keira
Me too but I really can't bring myself to feel bad about it. Based on the information given she seemed a lunatic at best.
Take on the level 40+ Griffin?

Wasn't expecting to bump into them in this game, seeing as most places have natural barriers for places not meant to be discovered yet/ever. Found them early on in the Oxenfurt Academy area where rooftops can't be climbed over. Gah, so tempting ・-・

Anyone playing on PC has this weird "hair" pop in? Like beards and hear and stuff pop in later while watching cutscenes...
Anything I can do about that?

Some of it, not all. Dismantling the armor and weapons also gives you back the runestones you put into the slots.

You could also try spawning the mastercrafted swords you want, that's a round about way of getting them but it should work.
Master Armorers 'n Blacksmiths should be able to remove upgrades without destroying them. :I
That said, I'm trying to make use of them more often this time around; I ended up kind of hoarding even the greater glyphs 'n rune stones because I thought they could be put on better equipmentnot gonna do that this time.

Sorry if this is really stupid, but I just started this and I have a few questions after playing W2 that I couldn't find answers to in the OP it would be great if anyone could answer these with as little spoilers for W3 as possible.
So the opening scene - when (chronologically) does that take place? I know
Secondly, Yennefer - in
Sorry if these are stupid, I just can't piece together the chronology properly.

it's a dream and Ciri is a child in it but it seems to be based on a memory, just different - when did that memory happen? Before W1?
Secondly, Yennefer - in
W2 Geralt pieces together that she was taken by the Wild Hunt, and he gave his soul in place of hers. When did that happen chronologically? Before W1 again? Because it made it sound like it was an old legend, but then wouldn't Yennefer and Geralt be hundreds of years old?

Yes both of those events take place before W1. Ciri's grooming in Kaer Morhen takes place in the first book of the saga - Blood of Elves. The second eventtakes place between end of books and beginning of W1.
And by the way - Yen and Geralt are quite old as they don't age normally and I think at least the former might be older than 100 years old.

I loved it.
I was like "Screw you canon". I know the books and the games are considered separate but for the games story lines it essentially removes all that "but it's canon" crap every Yen defender uses, it was all the product of a curse.

Member
Ehh, not everyone, not me at least. I chose Yen not because she's canon but because she's awesome as fuck.

Ah, okay. Thank you! Do you know how long before W1 they took place? Also, how did
Geralt return?
