Typical Roach. Always up to no good getting stuck in things.
There weren't even bandits there for me. I've noticed some weird event triggers in this game where sometimes I'll come to a spot like a guarded treasure or whatever and there won't be any enemies there. I'll have to leave and come back a few times to get them to pop up. Same thing with trying to talk to people like merchants and the prompt to talk to them won't appear.

This game is so so beautiful. The last hour or so I just walked around in the forests while overburned. The atmosphere...
Really is amazing. Feels alive. Been playing since day 1 and I am still constantly wowed by the atmosphere, vistas, and shear beauty of this game.

I would assume Philippa is the most powerful since she was leader of the lodge, and Radovid considered her the most dangerous of all the Sorceresses. She is also the only AI companion in the game that actually kills enemies without Geralt's help.
In regards to Triss and Yen, I can only go by what was shown in game. Which leads me to believe that Triss is more powerful. We only ever see Yen open portals and use defensive spells, yet we see Triss kill
Menge without even trying
drop Meteors from the sky during the Battle at Kaer Mohren
Nah, man, attack power alone isn't everything. Yen has the best sorceress card and since she's the only one to actually have an ability, that implies that she's the most versatile and skilled sorceress.
It's true, Gwent is canon.
Don't they pretty much say outright that
Triss is the one throwing fireballs because what Yen does is far more difficult? Even Geralt can do stuff with fire. Plus, in another scene, Triss damn near passes out from killing a dude.

Yen
is much more stronger than Triss. Remember the same defensive spell Triss did in TW2? She feinted after even though her sphere is tiny and for a short while.
In the books it's depicted that way too.

In my exciting Witcher adventure for the day, I haven't had too many problems with the game/framerate on the PS4, but I did accidentally manage to create the perfect storm of disaster re: in-game effects. It was a rainy day on an island in the middle of the ocean, I happened to reapply Quen as a Noonwraith died whilst it was in a Yrden sign. The PS4 went I'm not getting paid enough to deal with this shit, and the frame rate immediately dropped to about one frame per four seconds. (I counted.) I watched in horrified awe and fascination as the Quen light and the rain moved in glacial pace around Geralt in a magical fairy light slideshow. Even alcohol couldn't have even made it better.
It would have been beautiful if it didn't get stuck like that. I had to restart the bloody fight again.
The poor, poor PS4 really doesn't like dealing with rain. I won't do that to you again, baby, I promise.

I see, Yen's sphere was impressive but I do wish they would have shown off more of her power. Still, Triss will always be better in my head canon.

True, let's hope so.

In books, age is very important (experience). So Yennefer is more powerful than Triss (~100 years of experience vs ~40). Philippa has more than 300

You can play every quest to every level, it's just a guideline. It's just going to be a harder than average quest.
...which is good, given that the game is too easy.
edit: though as EatChildren reminded me, it will mean you need to be level 41 to use it fully upgraded!

Sounds just like Geralt. No wonder they get along so well.

I should have mentioned I have the XP mod installed that gives me more XP per kill, but the quest XP I have set at default.

Finished the game after 129 hours on Death march, and absolutely loved every minute of it!
One of the best games I have played period. Played it on pc (gtx 970, i5-4670k, 16gb ram, SSD)
I got one of the good endings and I am happy with how things turned out after playing all 3 games.
The quests and writing are some of the best in any rpgs I have ever played, not since vampire bloodlines have I been so invested in characters and dialogue.
I had a great time with the combat, I love playing a agile bad ass where 1-3 hits would kill me if not paying attention.
A few minor cons:
Loved the difficulty until lvl 11-13, but after that it became a bit to easy even on DM.
The interface is cumbersome in a few areas, like crafting, shopping, consumables and quest/book items.
Its kinda crazy that after 129 hours all I want to do is start a new game, but I am gonna try to hold out for the rumored new game plus.
What a game, what a game, bravo CD Project red!

I feel ya on this definitely. I'm not even done but I just keep thinking about running a new game with different armor / build / haircut / girlfriend. Probably will wait for the DLC to launch once I finish the game and then do another run. I could just slowly gallop around in this game FOREVER.
The last time I felt so motivated to explore for the sake of it was probably Morrowind, no joke. I guess it's what happens when you put faith in the developers to cram every inch of the world with detail and little implicitly told stories.

It's kind of funny that Philippa is supposed to be the most powerful of all the sorceresses in the North, yet all her plots always seem to blow up in her face. In The Witcher 2 she's outwitted by Letho and - even more embarrassingly - Cynthia and also walks right into Radovid's trap. And before the events of The Witcher 3,
a former lover basically manages to imprison her in her owl form.
her ambition to become an advisor to the imperial court, the only thing I could think of was: "Ok, this definitely isn't going to end well. And it's a given that, in contrast to Radovid, Emhyr won't just take her eyes when he's had enough of her."

If we talking about power as sorceresses she isn't. Francesca Findabair is probably more powerful. But if we talking about political power, then is different matter
Oh... Why? I don't really see the point of a mod like that in such an easy game. You're just gonna overlevel yourself for the expansions (unless they scale freely and not in tiers like the DLC items).

Been so long since I last read the books, but I have always had the thought that Francesca is more powerful than Philippa.
She sure is the most beautiful though, shame we can't meet her.

I don't mind being overleveled, the leveling and scaling of items is kind of weird anyway in this game so if some parts are easier because it that doesn't bother me, I started using it when the XP bug was a thing and just kept using it since.
Thanks for the advice! I went around and bought Commander's Horns, Scorch and basically every card I could get my hands on. Exploiting the AI with spies has proven to be an effective strategy, though there's been a few very interesting games where decoys and spies were flying back and forth. I wish I hadn't missed some of the cards to this point, but I'm sure I'll still be able to build some impressive decks.

In some games I've played the spy cards are the only things used for like a 1/3 of the game. They're so useful though.

It works if you wait a little while. Using witcher senses helps too.
Just meditate is enough? Damn, I used to just quicksave and reload my game...

Hehe, it's always fun to see how a little less experienced gamers approach glitches. As you play more and more games you learn how to unglitch them, as it's usually the same patterns across games ;b

How did you get to level 36? I'm at level 21, just went to Skellige last night and completed everything in White Orchard, Velen and Novigrad except for a few quests that require going to Skellige and a few random quests.
There are tons of Sirens in Skellige, just look around beaches and such.

I finished at 35 and I didn't do any of the horse races and fist fights. Main quest gives a lot of xp
Oh, by the way, the new quest gave me 200XP despite being greyed out. Nice one, CDPR.
Any question mark that's on the sea in Skellige has a 99% chance of having Sirens. If you got unlucky and found one with drowners, just head to the closest next one and you're guaranteed to see them.
The specific guy in the cage sells 2 cards that you can't get anywhere else, so it's something you'll be stuck with until they patch it. The merchants/innkeeps all take from a set random pool that won't cover everything.
the cards he sells are terrible, too.

I just started playing Arkham Knight after finally completing this last night but I already want to go back and replay it lol. Going to wait until I'm certain whether there will or won't be a New Game + added.

I imagine they'll patch the missable cards.
And I think the random pool does cover everything. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you? Obviously they don't include the cards that you can buy or gain from quests.
Yeah, I meant aside from ones you only get from quests or certain merchants. The guy in the cage is the only merchant that sells Sweers and Puttkammer.

I'm using a mod that gives additional XP for every kill, it adds up pretty quickly.

Yeah, but if the random pool included cards that you can also get from merchants, that means you'd be able to get doubles (there's a certain specified amount of cards in the games).
Hopefully that merchant gets patched though; I'm sure he will be.
Yes. Go.
Got mine yesterday as well. Just in time to head over to

Yeah I'm itching to go back and start my second playthrough, but I'm happy to wait for a possible NG+.
Awesome! How many hours would you say, roughly?
