Think how these things play out in reality. You really shouldn't commit to multiple women and neither should Geralt.
Still far from a end stretch when he just arrived in Skellige.

Yeah still a huge way away from the end. The game took me 65 hours and I rushed through the main quest. For what it's worth I think Acts 2/3 are the best part of the game and pay off all of the work you do in the first. It's extremely rewarding in the way it's structured.

So quick question, Related to triss and yen

Does having sex on the unicorn stop you from winning triss? it count against you at all? I hear yes and no. I rather have a definite answer
There's a moment with both ladies that makes it clear if you want to be with them or not. For Yen it is literally a yes or no. So at that point no I don't believe it has any affect until you reach The Last Wish quest.

In regards to romance,
I wanted to go with Triss, since she's been there for me since the original Witcher. Yet, Yennefer seems like the right choice for Geralt.

It was difficult to let Triss go while Djikstra was goading me, lol.

Yup, same here. I'm so far behind and have missed so many cards and one-time-only matches, I'm not gonna bother on my first play through.
No missables anymore. Pull your deck out and get your ass back to the table.

STILL DOESNT answer the question considering gaf says the choice doesnt matter while reality and common sense says it does.. I just want a definite answer instead of a lecture kay?
It does matter. Choose one or choose none so to speak.

They patched all the missables on PC. Still waiting for NA console patch. Now if only they can patch broken quests so my OCD can go away.

Count Reuvens Treasure
can we actually find the treasure? My quest ended with it still unknown...

I think it's implied that
Geralt set him down the path he needed to find it. I'm guessing by the time this wraps up that loose end will be concluded. But to answer directly, I don't know, I didn't locate its exact location either.
 
Holy shit at
Velen, Novigrad & Skila-watcha-macall-it on being the FIRST act of the game
!

I'm 35 hours deep and
still on Novigrad about to deal with Junior
. Then I want to go back into Velen and focus on contracts because I haven't even done ANY outside of the two in White Orchard.

This damn game... I love it.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
If I keep playing every damn merchant and peasant at Gwent that gives me the opportunity, I will never find Ciri...

Realizing that I did it wrong when I ignored Gwent to go adventuring. Should've done it the other way around.

I feel the exact same
It's not too late, brothers. The Eternal Gwent can still sace your souls.

My headcanon is that the Wild Hunt is going after her because she has a rare card and refuse to duel them in fear of losing it.
actually it doesnt. Dev stated that choice doesnt matter. I wanted clarification since Gaf is either one or the other with no clear answer, you just lectured me for nothing. Thanks. http://forums.cdprojektred.com/thre...s-and-others?p=1693083&viewfull=1#post1693083
I stand corrected then. Hard to argue against a dev.

I sitll don't know why we can't store things, display trophies or change horses for different colors and stuff. Little RPG things like that.

Holy shit just finished Witcher 2 on Roches side, is Saskias any less depressing? I guess either way the realms have to go to war with Nilfgaard but still. Heavy stuff.

Helping out Dandelion and a certain victim:
classic gothic horror detective story, complete with the person helping being the killer and a vampire to boot - in agreement with the church no less. It wasn't a difficult fight seeing as I was level 17, but great story.

I love that they used a unique character model for the doctor.
 
Game refuses to let me save. Any ideas? Xbox one version.

It's a bug. Don't use suspend resume and always save before you turn off your console. Always hard quit from home. They are working on it.

You will lose a lot of progress pretty much all since you last effectively saved.

When it says that you can't save.

Yennefer was the canon choice throughout the book saga, but it's only the "right" choice if you want him to be miserable. Though I guess that's what he'd want, too, because Geralts gonna Geralt.
 
God, I need this game so badly. How is the combat? I liked the second game a lot but sometimes (especially on harder difficulties) the combat felt a bit janky.

Saskia/Iorveth's story is actually more "light-hearted" and "pleasant" compared to Roche's. And yes, the North will still end up getting invaded by Nilfgaard regardless of the choices that you make.

Iorveth's path can be great or also depressing. It depends on if you go after Triss or not.

Ab hour and a half of progression lost... I'm severely pissed.

I have to respectfully disagree regarding the default hair.

Sorry, that's a terrible screenshot of a screenshot as I'm on currently at work. But that "short & loose" hair cut paired with a clean shave that gradually grows out in full looks awesome to me.

Shit like this makes him look like an aging member of a boy band trying to recapture his youth. Slicked back + goatee for life.

TW2 choice impact is trivial outside of a couple of events.

Hitting that 40th hour, feeling like I haven't even scratched the surface. That thought that "this is the best game I've ever played" keeps repeating in my head. Like it's absolutely staggering how much content is here, and how well it's written.

Astounding.
 
Finally got to Novigrad after 55 hours of play. After an hour or so of wandering around there I experienced my first bug in TW3... the headless people floating around with their arms extended glitch. How horrifying.

This game is so awesome! I play it all day, when im not, i think about it all the time and this song:
http://youtu.be/HMBCi45Y7k0
is stuck forever in my head! I'm whistling this for few days now everytime i'm not playing. Am I the only one? So proud to be polish. Praise CD Projekt! :D

Quick question:
I've completed all main quests in Velen/Novigrad. I'm lvl 16 right now, but there are still many side quests left for me. How far from end is Skellige main quest line? I don't want this game to end for me anytime soon. :(

My counter says i have played for 3 days and few hours, but it's impossible. I know that there are some issues with counter on PS4, so it would be 48h max for me right now.
 
Novigrad city quest spoilers beyond:

Does anyone know exactly how all the gang/Roche/Dandelion hunt quests stack? I was making headway with Sigi, which got me to the Get Junior quest, which split off separately from the Gangs of Novigrad quest. Then I got a tip about Roche from Sigi and went to check it out, but once he introduces you to Radovid, Gangs of Novigrad fails. Am I going to have to end up failing at least one of these quests, or is there a way to approach them that lets me see what everyone is up to?

Well crap. I just managed to get myself trapped in a sunken boat hull. Thing is they make it look like you are supposed to be able to go inside and look for treasure. But if you go In it you can't climb the stairs back out and since you are standing halfway in water it won't let you jump. What's annoying is they made it look like you are supposed to be able to explore inside but due to game rules you get stuck if you do. I think I am going to have to reload a save. Which means having to re loot all the Pirates I killed and kill the downers cause I just leveled up. Grrrrr. Least my save isn't too far back.

That's good to know, I have the tattoo so that's the main takeaway from 2.

From the sounds of things they had enough on their plate making 3 without having to put in a bunch of variables from a previous game.

Just figured something out, I don't think it's been mentioned here.

If your holding L2/LT to block, you can press left or right on the Dpad to quickly select your signs.

No more slow down menus... YAY!!
