i wish you could attack npc's and get away with it, anyone who starts singing "pam param, pam pam param" would get their face smashed in.

But you drop it in the hot oven. Even if the baby sat there for 2 secs, it would have hurt.

Lmao. They deliver that line so well.
I'd take out the ones that go, "What? Want a hug?" when you bump into them. Creeps me out.

Witcher 3 made me retroactively look back at DA:I and realize what a piece of shit that was despite having a decent time with it when it first released.

The first Time I finished the game was on Death March, now on my second Playthrough I play on easy, and well it's like you are way overpowered and beat the crap out of everything that comes your way.

I don't know why that's so in the english version, but I'm playing the game with Polish VO and he has the same voice in the game as in those scenes where he is the narrator - he doesn't sound older or anything
CDPR definitely changed the narrator because Dandelion's VA isn't very good but they don't want to dump him due to continuity and maybe loyalty, yet still don't want him to be "the voice of the game" that you hear all the time.

The ones that get my goat are the Skelligen warriors who talk about smearing honey on your arse. WTF.

Not like those loading screens are any better acted.
English VO is recorded first, so Grandpa Dandelion was likely what he was supposed to sound like until they discovered that the Polish actor can't do a halfway decent old man voice (I'm guessing here, but it wouldn't surprise me as the dude can hardly emote in his normal voice).

How do I get contracts? I've just started the game by the way, haven't even started researching on the griffin though I did just finish the Lady in the Well quest.
This game just keeps delivering. Finished off most of the quests and contracts I had (That were around my level, anything left is red) in Velen and finally headed North to Novigrad at around Level 13. And wow, the tone of the game just did a 180 when I arrived in the city, it feels really different. Still getting my bearings, trying to find stuff, it's huge.
The combat really clicked for me in the last few hours, especially since I've learnt my way around alchemy and whatnot. Feels so satisfying setting up a plan of attack with oils, potions etc. Felt great taking down Jenny O' the Woods after being destroyed by her the first time I went in unprepared.
Still haven't even touched Gwent beyond the tutorial stuff. I am probably missing out but card games have always confused me.
At the point you're at I suggest just doing the quests in that first town, then taking on the griffin. And after that you should be right to explore a bit more.
Not everything on the notice boards are quests. Some of them are just town news, random postings etc. Some of them will give you quests, others will place a question mark point on your map for you to investigate later on which may lead to quests.

Devil in the Well was a Contract. You'll get most of them (From what I've seen so far) from Notice Boards, occasionally you'll get them from a person directly (Marked with a yellow exclamation point on the map). Basically contracts are just quests to hunt a specific type of monster, and they're sorted under that tab in your quests log.

This. The only part in the game I thought the acting was off. Would have actually preferred Dandellion's voice.

I think theoretically the best or a better one?
Ciri became empress and Geralt and Yen got to live their lives together. I'm satisfied, even while heartbroken about saying goodbye to this game.

lol i immediately started a new game afterward. i got the same ending, seems like the best overall one.
you'd think so, right. there's still a bit left to do.I think I'm near the endAt the table drunk with my witcher buds lol funny stuff
So, I'm in the middle of Act 3 and switched on question-marks to start doing clean-up before the end. In Velen I had like 21 left, went pretty quickly.
Then I went to Skellige... I turned them off before going there the first time and have apparently not explored enough, because I have 112 left there. :|

You're getting close(ish). I think I still dragged the game out another 15-20 hours after that though to finish some secondary quests I had forgotten about lol.I think I'm near the endAt the table drunk with my witcher buds lol funny stuff
I've got a huge backlog, so I think I'm going to take a break for now. I'm going to come back and do a Death March playthrough eventually. Maybe in another month before classes start again. Oh and actually play some Gwent. I only played like six rounds!

could never
Great xD
I also just beat this. My ending
I didn't really care for Witcher 2 and dropped it after act 1, but I'm really impressed with this game. I feel like if I went back I would understand a lot more and get into the series more, but I'll have to wait on that awhile.
was Ciri becoming a witcher and a nice scene with Geralt where they did some contracts together, and he ended up parting ways to laze about with Yen.

I like that there's no bad/good/best ending, the simplicity of that would ultimately feel like a betrayal of the Witcher games' ambiguous morality and "grey" world.
It's just that different things happen depending on your choices. How these are perceived is up to the player and ultimately, subjective.
I'd consider Geralt ending up with Yennefer as the worst outcome for the poor guy. :lol

lol yeah,
i'd prefer Triss over Yen, but Ciri dying would be the worst thing for him.

I think the other ending
having Ciri die would be considered by most players to not be a pleasant outcome. Not that it's "good" or "evil," but that's certainly not the "best" ending. I guess her becoming a Witcher is fairly decent too.
Can't imagine wanting to be with Triss. Bleugh.

Oh crap ending spoilers:
If Cirri dies you don''t get a romance ending, faaaack all my work with Triss for nothing. Ending was great though; finishing off the last Crone but then just sitting there waiting for hundreds of ghouls & drowners to kill you was crazy.
All hail Emperor Dijkstra though. Free(ish) North without all the mage/elf/dwarf/hobbit burning.

Of course I did! As much as I love Roche and Ves,
selling out to Nilfgaard is treason and inexcusable.
Disgusting! Someone should ban you for this filthy opinion.
Are there any well hidden side quests I might have missed? I'm currently on the Sunstone mission which is pretty late in the game. I finished all Witcher contracts and have no side quests in my log except for collecting all the Gwent cards.

Treason over the lives of friends and allies. Uh that's a...unique opinion you've got there.
Holy crap, how'd you get there in 100 hours? Took me like 140.

It's hard to say since you can only get some of them by finding them, like I was exploring an island in Skellige and just randomly found a lady who is apparently the strongest fighter and challenged me to a fight.
:-*
Dijkstra is/was as much of an ally as Roche and Ves. They latter being nicer can´t be the measure stick when the fate of whole countries is being decided.
And I think it is more canon, that Geralt doesn´t meddle in politics if he doesn´t have to.
