Apparently he regenerates 125 crowns every 5 days.... up to a maximum of 500. So if you have lots to sell, you are going to have to meditate a lot
Good to know!
Well played, CDPR. Making sure we never quite have enough money, ever.
Geniuses.

I feel like the quality of the side quests drops off pretty hard in Skellige. Almost everything I've done there has been follow the GPS busywork. Velen seems like the high point of the game thus far.
Thanks for the quest replies. I realize that as much as I think I'm paying attention, I'm missing key clues in some quests.
To be fair, despite his good intentions, Graham is at fault for letting in all the peasants. He's the reason for the massacre and deserved to die regardless.
yeah i'm not gonna argue with that, i just wasn't sure if there was a PSN trophy or something for keeping every trophy you get.

Gwent is pretty tough in the beginning, but once you scrape your way through enough victories to assemble a good deck you just become a stone cold fucking murderer. I'm destroying all these named motherfuckers. Leaving goddamn radioactive craters all up and down Temeria. These lands won't be inhabitable for a thousand years by the time I'm done with them.

Most of the time I don't bother with the horse, I prefer to go on foot.

How do you activate Yen's alternate look on PS4? I'd like to download it so I can activate it some time later, but I wouldn't want to have it activated by default.
And then you try the gwent tourney and get reverse nuked.
I have over 19000 crowns. Stop being lazy with your looting, son.
My Northern Realms deck is pretty solid at this point, but I don't even have playable decks for two factions and my Nilfgaard has some shit cards (like 2 damage with no abilities shit) in it. I need more cards!

Lol. So he is in White Orchard then? I downloaded the DLC after I left for Velen already. Is the armor worth it for a level 9 Geralt? I kinda rushed through White Orchard, usually like to get the story going a bit in the beginning in these kind of games.
It's polished enough for me to be having some of the best fun I've ever had in an environment and world which blows my mind every 15 minutes, even after 35 hours, with only issues very rarely.
You can say it's not GOAT material because of its lack of polish, but that doesn't mean it's not a very polished game in general. The amount of content which is totally of fine in terms of polish outweighs the broken moments 50:1 for me.
Also, opinions opinions opinions. Other games do certain aspects better, but TW3 is on track to be my GOAT just because it's such a holistically well-realised universe and experience. I often can't actually believe what I'm playing. They only left out minor things which you don't notice because everything else fits so well.
Shieeeeet
Do you loot everything and sell it all? I don't even. My main source of money so far has been selling sign glyphs I don't plan on ever using. They often go for 50 a pop. Then I'll have 500 for about 15 minutes before I find a blacksmith or armorer and it's all gone again as I try to craft my stuff of buy new diagrams.
This, for some reason I always hated horse riding in games well except RDR but here on foot feels the natural way. Was walking around in Velen in some forest when I hear Geralt noticing the wind intensifying then all of a sudden thunder crashes, sky blackens and rain starts pouring. Amazing atmosphere.
Yes, he is in White Orchard. Should be no problem, you can return there any time you want.
Also level doesn't necessary represent yoru gear, you need to look for yourself. I think the armor isn't that hot and doesn't worth the price. Generally I am good with looting armor and swords until I can craft one. But if you dig the look, it might suit you.
temerian set, right? worth to get?

Not awkward enough
at least compared to my previous breakup experiences, lol.
CDPR really wants you to love Yen even if you decide to dump her. Triss unfortunately gets the short end of the stick regarding interaction and screen time.

Yes, And no. I would generally advice against buying equipment in RPGs. Before even paid it of, you already find a better one in some chest in the mud or clenched between the cheeks of a bandit.

The only quest that this event failed fot me at this point was the one related to the
dwarf gangster from Novigrad.
On foot is great, and on horse is only really great when you trot. Canter and gallop is too fast.
I had a weird revelation the other day. I don't mind being over-encumbered in this game.
I got over-encumbered for the first time while doing the Viper set quest. I was down in a tomb. I just plodded on because I knew my horse was nearby and that I could get to a fast travel sign to unload my stuff soon.
However, I found that being forced to walk was kinda nice. I walked about in the tomb, feeling like a badass. I had to experience the world at the pace someone would in real life. Then a wraith spawned and I panicked "what if I can't dodge and my movement speed is gimped?!"
But sure enough, even when over-encumbered, you can fight as normal. Fast-walk, roll, dodge, attack. I took the wraith out with ease, then I strutted out of there like a badass.
It was almost like switching off auto-run in the open world. Walking felt like a much more natural pace. (But obviously a lot of the time one wants to get about quickly, especially when in the wilderness.)

Every Wednesday. Not Tuesday.
You don't.
Also please post some context to youtube videos in general or you will see that msot people will ignore them in fear of spoilers.
Yeah, I loot literally everything that glows when you use witcher sense, but I don't sell most of that stuff. Most sacks and crates just have alchemy ingredients and I don't generally sell those until I have 99 of them and see no reason to have that many. The main source of income is weapons, armor and animal hides, mostly looted off of killed humans/animals.
CDPR have been very good with hiding some good stuff among the countless sacks full of alchemy crap, so it's generally pretty rewarding to loot everything. You will get new diagrams or unique weapons often enough to not feel like looting random sacks and crates is stupid.
I agree with the fact that encumbrance isn't much of a problem here, and can even be nice in the right area, but it certainly does gimp your combat abilities. I can't roll and run and stuff in combat when I'm encumbered.

You can't. But it appears embedded if you're using the mobile GAF site.

Found a haunted location, but seemingly couldn't do anything there...? Do I have to aquire a skill or some item first? Don't tell me what, just yes or no.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Should be an option on the main menu or under options. Pretty sure you cant change it mid game, has to be from the menu.
One of the Best OT Titles i found on GAF !
Couldnt stop laughing for about 5 minutes !
OT Post itself is amazing ! Nice Work
The Game itself is Like Skyrim 2.0 - you just cant play the main story. You pass a Village on your way ... oh ... a sidequest... oh ... the billboard ... oh ... played 60 hours straight... still main quest from start.
And the downgrad isnt that bad that it was menioned - just turn saturation with sweetFX a little bit lower and its like a charm

Can someone give me an idea of what the loading times are like in Valen on PC? Coming from ps4, they feel like they are over a minute.
Like 5 seconds on PC but that doesn't help you and I'm just bragging.

So many question marks, soooo many in Velen and Novigrad. I am now working to clear them all, but I am afraid that I am going to be way overleveled for the main quest and other side quests..

Main quest question, quest is in Oxenfurt, right after a playable flashback in Novigrad, when you interrogate
the guy I don't know the name, the one killing the girls. You are looking for Ciri and Dandelion. There are many dead girls in his room. My question, how do you interact with the girl hanging ? She's highlighted in red. Is there a way to get her down ? Also, there is a cave beneath the house, but a metal gate keeps me from going onward. Key somewhere ?
Ah, don't lend those guys an ear. There is lots and lots of salt.And the downgrad isnt that bad that it was menioned - just turn saturation with sweetFX a little bit lower and its like a charm
lol, you're like the worst kind of fairy godmother.

If you kill him the peasants get unhappy, you're better off reasoning with the 'God'.

Fyke Isle? Been there done that. You'll get a quest to go there later. And then another one. And then a freaking third one.
