I'll just say it now. It'll be crazy if this game somehow doesn't garner the same amount of awards, let alone nominations for GOTY that DAI got.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
So err, Possession spoiler question:
how exactly did the "put baby in the oven only it's not dead" plan go about? I must have missed a line somewhere because I don't get how it played out.

hidden choices?!! damn this game is completionist's nightmare

In Redania's Most Wanted

the game tells you to bring Philipa's crystal to Triss.. but you can actually bring it to Yen instead. I wonder if Keira works too if she's not gone or what difference it makes. I left the crystal with Yen let's see what difference it makes...god damn there is so much voice acting in this game for all of this stuff maybe 0.00001 percent would ever see...

I don't remember exactly, but there was some comment of Geralt about something that#s weird with the oven if you checked it beforehand.

Has this been posted here yet? From reddit.

Lol, this happened to me though on a much shorter fall.
I busted out laughing how Roach looked like he was running the hill down.

The detail on the various armours in this game is insane. The faces of random NPCs and merchants are fantastic.

It's not revolutionary or anything, but everything just is rendered at such a high fidelity and it makes such a huge difference.

I strongly believe that DAI would have been fucking dead to award shows if it had released in the same award year as Witcher 3. The direct comparisons are immediate and obvious and Witcher pretty much trounces DAI in almost every single area.

Are the DPS sword stats broken? my Silver Sword was 1006 then it jumped down to like 960. Nothing changed. I then removed an ablity from the tree and put it back and the stat went back to 1006.

I'm curious how that gets used, when I did the mission I gave the crystal to Radovid because I hate Phillipa and did actually want her to die, so I had that in common with Radovid at least. However, the crystal never really came back up.

Villentretenmerth is the stupidest card to get in the entire game. Literally every single oppenent has the card now, and I'm still missing it. And I've almost collected all of the cards.

I stumbled in a fight with around 15 or more wolves that were hanging out in northern Velen, all because I saw one dot on my mini map and decided to chase after it. I'd never seen that many enemies grouped together previously, and it was not an easy fight. I love this game.
 
will do tomorrow, all junk will go.

Keep in mind that some "junk" can be dismantled to good stuff, and some other "junk" is kinda valuable, so you want to sell them to the right person. Different merchants pay different amount depending on their economy and how interested they are in the item.

this is too complicated, i'm not gonna finish this game in 2 months :p

really gotta buy that collector's edition guide.

You can tell by what area they're in and how much money they have etc. Like, I find armorers pay more for swords & armor than a regular merchant. Haven't been to Novigrad yet but the armorer in Oxenfurt pay more for my armor than anyone else I've met so far.

Nah man, don't worry about it. The money difference isn't THAT big and you can just use common sense. And don't worry too much about dismantling; just keep some "other" items just in case you'll need them later.

Not sure how some people day this game is ugly on consoles. To me with the rain and the lighting it's probably one of the best looking games I've ever seen on a console. Don't get me wrong my 970 is crying to be used but the hyperbole around some people reactions is just mind boggling.

Also when do the side quests stop in novigrad dear heavens. I have spent almost 2 days now in that city alone lol
 
Anyone here fought that Ifrit yet? You light him on fire and the framerate goes to 10fps and stays there until you die or kill it. Never seen anything so egregious in my life, how can they possibly let that go? This game has wayyy worse framerate issues than Unity ever had.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Aww, the game actually has a bunch of pretty adorable kids. So much unlike those little insufferable cunts in Skyrim...



Is this

a joke?

No, I'm over-leveled for pretty much all the quests I have atm. I try and play the game organically, and in as chronological order as possible. But it seems like every time I finish a few quests at near the recommended level, I'm too high for the remainder of my list. I'm definitely out-leveling the main quest line atm.

Alright. i do try to stick to selling armor and weapons to a blacksmith or what not. Lately money is not an issue, so i just like to dismantle stuff. Never know what i should keep or what.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!

I just stick to selling the stuff to whichever type of merchant sells it. For instance don't sell a sword to an herbalist or bartender, etc. That's about as deep as I'm willing to get with it unless the strategy guide has more info.

Jogging through the woods and came across some enormous humanoid thing with huge deer antlers. It did some kind of shockwave attack that one-shotted me from across a field.

That was unexpected.

Some of the side quests in this are so fleshed out. This game is so wonderful.

Now I have to go to class for 4 hours and I can't play lol that will be torture.
 
i almost never have shit in my inventory. All the swords expect the ones im not using are sold. Ill just buy ignots when i need them. You get more than enough money. Got to travel light.

Question about the Quest "Deadly Plot"

SPOILERS
Does taking part in Radovic's assassination lead to good outcomes? I also have the quest where he wants me to find Philippa for him so I wonder which one is better

Come on now. Unity is on a whole other level when it comes to framerate issues.

Fuck monster decks.

Frost is your friend. Though if you can't draw frost you're pretty much screwed. The best you can do is to bait the opponent into wasting all their cards.

I also want to say that this game has one of the most impressive Day/Night Lighting and Weather systems I've ever seen.

I'm not sure I'm saying it is the "best looking" in a game (on a technical level). But to me, well, it's the best looking. :p

I couldnt give it to yen, on skellige at least, maybe later
 
Fuck monster decks.

Aren't they usually pretty melee heavy? I usually either plop down a biting frost card or if they've done something like drop the three sisters I sit on my Villentretenmerth card and whip it out at the end. But yeah, without those two options those matches usually go south in a hurry.
