Around 15-20 hours I'd say, more if you decide to finish all of Skellige.
Oh my god. Almost 70 hours played and I never noticed the difference in spelling. Well, I guess my Geralt is now into horse lovin' LOL

Really ? God damn. I just reached that quest. How many hours would you say ?
Yeah just went through this quest, one of the most awesome sequences in the game. I loved it haha.

So is the ALT Axii bugged on PC? I cannot cast it no matter what, even with it at level 3 and slotted properly. Can never seem to "turn" one of them to my side.

So glad I exercised a little discipline and stuck with this before getting batman. Just did a quest that was incredible. I'm a level 9 in Velen for spoiler safety. It's the
So it's the usual fare, detective mode and I found something that I thought triggered the quest's completion. So,
. The final choice in that quest really got to me. I let something happen that I immediately was beating myself up for doing. But on my way to work I thought about it some more, and I was okay with it. Wow. All that for a freaking secondary quest.
Plus my gwent deck has dudes making the sad face when I challenge them, so this game really has taken ahold of me. Can't wait to see what's next.
side quest where there's a missing woman and you have to ask her neighbors what happened.
the sister of the missing woman finds me and offers me double my fee if I stop the search. At this point, I'd done enough good deeds and I was tired of playing out of character (witchers don't do shit unless we get paid!), so I took the money and said eff it. After she left I noticed some tracks I hadn't seen before. Followed them, and the rest was amazing.

Yeah, that was a shame to see. Skellige is my favorite area but that stuff is pretty trash.

Try it again with the first Axii upgrade not put in a slot.

Wonder if I have missed some content by doing Kings Gambit in Skellige before visiting all the Isles. I just got to the feast and MAJOR FEAST SPOILERS
Would people recommend visiting all the isles before proceeding with this quest? Even just for backstory reasons. Speak to the other Jarls etc before the new ruler is sought at the feast.
Bears killed a few npcs that I'm wondering could I have spoken to on their islands. I haven't visited Lugos' island yet

The answer to your question is...
If you didnt do the "Cave of Dreams" yet then yes, you missed one

I saw this all throughout Velen and Novigrad
Posted it on the official forums, along with others.
Finally finished the game. Got the ending where
One big thing that I'm not happy about is that
Also, on a side note: I've read that in one of the endings
? What exactly are the criteria for that to happen?
Ciri and Geralt traveled together for a while, doing witcher stuff along the way. Was expecting Triss to pop up more though, instead of just a small mention of how she and Geralt ended up living together.
Radovid beat Nilfgaard and ended up controlling the north. I expected him to get assassinated since I did the quest where Dijkstra, Thaler and Roche plotted to kill him.
Also, on a side note: I've read that in one of the endings
Ciri can end up dead

IT'S ALL THE SHADY INDIVIDUAL'S FAULT!

STOP STARING AT MY FISSTECH SUPPLIES YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY
That's one of my favorite glitches. Cracks me up as much as HUAWWWWW does.
But that quest does
end with Radovid dying. You must've chosen the "I'm not into this" option that ends the quest early...
Well so ends one of the best games I have ever played
I realised after I had made a certain choice to go to
, that I had set into course events that I didn't initially want for my ending, but after seeing the whole sequence of
I was very overleveled by the end, so the final fights weren't too taxing, but I was all in for the story at the end anyway, so its good that the game didn't put up much resistance (unlike the end of Witcher 2 -
)
Anyone else end up with this ending? If so did you like it?

Nilfgaard with Ciri
Geralt and Ciri walking around the snow covered White Orchard and the bittersweet goodbye, I'm so happy that I ended up with the Ciri becoming Empress ending. She will inevitably become and amazing ruler and Temeria is restored! As someone who played Witcher 2 and wanted that nation to become whole again, I feel like I made the right choice.

Water is not wet!
i had no problem getting him to the cutscene but after that i would have issues finishing him off. Took me a few tries but basically it boiled down to not panicking that he was regenerating and taking it slow and methodical. Of course use hybrid oil and potions.
Hybrid? Why would I use that? Cursed is the oil you use for something like him. Or do they both work?
water_wendi
Water is not wet!
err cursed oil you are right.

Have you upgraded your silver sword already? That did the trick for me. Igni also works very well.
Ah, okay.
I've got the Serpent one right now and enough materials for the Griffon one, but I'm a level away before I can use it. Not too far from leveling up so I suppose I could just go do something else for a bit.

I just could not beat that werewolf, but I also had never killed a werewolf before, so I didn't know Cursed Oil is what you used against them (I thought they had a specific oil). That fucking health regen.
Ended up coming back 5-6 levels later and wrecking him.
Hahaha, this is pretty great.
"So dive into a franchise whose biggest flaw is having to quit your job or drop out of school to experience it all"
Man, I really want to play it now.

Yes, it's that damn health regen. I've had him down to nothing, but then he gets away from me long enough that he heals too much.
Doesn't help that I'm pretty sure I waste some of the oil on those stupid wolves of his. Them being there just further complicates things.
There's a second quest later in the game where you actually help carry out the plot. Did you
attack Dijkstra after finding Phillipa? Doing that locks you out of the "Kill Radovid" quest.
Knocked a griffin out of the air with a Dancing Star bomb, got LUCKY and sensed the kill coming so I hit the share button right as it connected (video isn't recording for some reason so I otherwise would not have a snapshot of this)
The griffin died from bleeding while in flight and the game glitched and left him in the air, but I still got lucky with the share button timing as I didn't expect him to fall, and video really isn't recording. I was surprised that the bombs didn't clip through his corpse. Here's another photo of me hitting him with a Northern Wind bomb: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CIN5HbtWoAABXet.jpg:large

I'd just call that a good start.
Good one
Anyway, I love that I can read about the places I discover right in the map ... but I don't understand why there's no codex section (like there is about monsters and characters) about the regions, races, etc. in the game just like in Witcher 1 & 2 .. yes, we have books but some neat place where the player could have had all the important informations about kings, kingdoms, etc. would be great - so they tried to make this part the most welcome to newcomers, but they don't bring a really cool thing which was in previous games that could really helped new players to understand the lore and world in the game.. strange decision
So I finally got to that scene with Caleb Menge (not his intro).
Man, that was tough to sit through. But it had a great ending
Gotta love how this game pulls zero punches and gives no fucks. Most other games/media would have probably chickened out with something like

Triss faking her screams or play-acting at being tortured
I agree,
I consider the Empress ending to be the best outcome for Ciri and Geralt. The throne is her birthright and it's only reasonable to allow her to make a choice between empire management or the Witcher's path.
With her as the Empress, I'm sure she'd focus on consolidating her rule over Nilfgaard and the North, instead of expanding into Skellige which Emhyr wanted to do.

Someone mentioned Cave of Dreams, which is a Skellige quest I never got. I did some reading and it mentioned that prior to that Geralt was
I never did that either, how did I miss out on that? I understand that what I did later in Skellige
renders Cave of Dreams a moot point, but now I'm wondering what else I might have missed.
in prison as part of some other quest line.
getting involved with succession, and the feast
I ran into the Ministry of Silly Walks in Novigrad last night!

You can get into a (preceding those spoilers spoilers)
brawl in a pub which lands you in prison if you kill the two who started it.
Taking my time with the game, and love the feel of a nicely coordinated horse look. The Zerrikanian saddle offers 5 more stamina but the mastercrafted Cavalry saddle looks better. Not a fan of the other gear's high front/back.
Yes, it goes well with Tawny Owl.
I've noticed it a few times. Last time it happened my bomb count did not change so I guess the game didn't register the throw despite the animation taking place.

Do this to fix the problem:
There are three entries of this, and this fix works with all signs, so you'll encounter no issues. If you are playing with a controller and use RightTrigger instead of Q key, look for something like "pad" and "RightTrigger" instead of "IK_Q", and change the same 0.2 to 0.01.

I tried but not that fun, sadly. Only 2 potions in quick-slot means you have to do a lot of inventory management which is annoying, to say the least. Switched to a more all-round build which worked much better.

This game man...
I thought that it would just be a small question of gathering my reward for killing a monster at a l

Just a couple of seconds, in and out from the bar, maybe kick the bar mans ass in Gwent and then leave.

Sometimes these twists become kind of a parody, I've gone into the mindset that absolutely EVERYTHING has some kind of consequence in the future, and I love it mostly, but I have just played for so long that it's become kinda comical to an extent.
For example with the killing of a monster in some woods,
There is two NPC's
If you talk
Kinda depressing lol.

get thrown into fucking jail for some shit I haven't even done, and know I gotta do a task for some Jarl because he paid the blood money that I was wrongfully judged to pay.

arguing for their own case, one arguing for the death of the monster as it's a danger for the villagers and it kills them regularly and one arguing that the monster strengthens the village in that it challenges the warriors in their skills, valor and courage and it should therefore live.
If you talk
with the NPC that want it dead and accept the gold reward and kill the monster, you return only to see all the village elders dead. The NPC and his crew has decided to massacre them all to take over the village .

It only happens to me when I toss them in water on accident. The swamps are the worst.
