Mainlined the story mode with some distractions along the way, took 72 hours.

Still got over a 100 question marks on the map and I did NONE of the notice board quests.

I don't get it either. I did the fight today in one try. It's pretty much a standard wraith-style fight. If you've got your sign, oil, bomb and maybe a potion, it's a breeze.

I don't know i had a few problems with it myself. I think the wraith just hits harder and inflicts a bleeding status i don't recall the first wraith having. Also seemed to move outside the ward more often making it difficult to get solid hit.

That said i went back to it today and did it easily in one go.Might have just gone in expecting a harder fight and played more conservative in the fight than i normally do.

2015 and we still get games where you can't pause a cutscene....anyways

Phone rang at work and I always miss out on the biggest story exposition bits, can anyone spoil the scene that begins when you meet the Baron in Velen....
and ends with you playing as Ciri? What happens to lead to that?

Why are you playing games at work?

Work at home. Nothing really going on tonight so Witcher 3 it is.

Anyone with a rundown of that scene?

This exp bug is making the game basically unplayable. Absolutely ridiculous. I bet hundreds of you have the bug and haven't even realized it too.

If we have to wait 2 weeks for a fix to clear Sony QC I'm going to be pissed. One day someone will release a game that isn't chock full of game breaking bugs.
 
First time meeting the baron spoilers
the Ciri flash back is pretty cool.damn people sending there kids to die in the woods
really enjoying this game, never played any of the other witchers

You're accidentally swiping up on the touchpad. I do it constantly just by the way I hold the controller and it's annoying as shit lol
Wait... swiping up brings up the map? Are there other swipes? They said something about that in one of the interviews, but I never saw any of it working, and the manual doesn't even mention it. I've been pressing the touchpad to bring up the in-game menu and selecting the map from there.

If you hold the touchpad i believe it opens the inventory.

wtf. attacked out of nowhere.

In Velen and just liberated an Abandoned Site below Devil's Pit. I'm level 11. All of a sudden 4 armored guys show up out of nowhere level 25 and chase me out (well, I ran at least)

I just confirmed that a green sidequest did not give me any xp. I'm lvl 14 and the quest was a lvl 12 quest. Gonna put the game down until this is fixed

I love trolls in The Witcher.
 
This entire quest line in the swamps so far is incredible. I haven't finished it yet but damn. The atmosphere and the creatures here are crazy. The
Creepy ass meeting with the witches
for the first time and then
meeting and seeing the godling kid
are just amazing moments.

This game has more atmosphere and sense of place then anything I've ever played. Its just so deep man.

Did the update 1.03 did that? I haven't updated yet.


Damn that herbalist lady. Goddamn...just goddamn. Can you romance her?

Yes.

Play Gwent while waiting for the fix!
 
There are too many quests. Not in total, but coming all at once. Can't walk ten feet without tripping over another quest. An annoying trend in videogames to pack maps so densely with quests/areas of interest.

Witcher 3 is better than most in that the quests are actually pretty good, but I get tired of RPG's not giving the player any room to breathe. The more shit piles up in the quest queue and the less a game feels like a coherent story, and just turns into a poorly paced laundry list.

It quickly feels like chores. Really wish a dev would figure out how to do this stuff in a more organic way. This game is better than most, but it still suffers from quest creep (for lack of a better term).

Agreed. My first 40 plus hours were golden but definitely getting fatigue from the vault full of quests in my journal. Then again I've never really been one for games of this kind of length content wise so I can see how others would enjoy it. I'd easily take half the quests on offer if more of them were of the Baron's caliber quality wise.
 
I'm absolutely certain this has probably been asked, but I haven't played since the patch and I noticed that on my saves it says 1.01. What happens if I play these since it's now on 1.03?

Ah gotcha. Does that interrogation scene about what happens after White Orchard still happen if you simulate a Witcher 2 save instead?

I dont think so. Its really not much
Guy just introduces himself and asks two quick questions about how his men died. Seems like its just to introduce you to this particular character

The herbalist from white orchid was awesome
 

Papercuts

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
Reuven Treasure quest, how'd it go for you guys.
I had Triss brought in, but just didn't have it in me to continue the charade to the point of torture. Tried an Axii somewhere and shit went south and killed everyone.






Probably thinking of
Keira
.

I held out the whole time though partway through almost gave in, I figured might as well not half ass it and keep it up. Triss ends up stabbing the guy right in the head, went out the back and burned the place down. Her hand was all bloody from her nails getting ripped out.

I've been in Skellige for a while and just realised, I never found Reuven's treasure, I think. I killed the AntiMage man and burned the place, Found junior all stealthy, and got Dandelion through an ambush instead of a break out*don't know if this option is actually playable* did I miss something else or did it fly over my head?

I can't remember the exact details but I think pretty much
Geralt just describes Ciri, tells the Baron he's looking for her, and wants details on if she came through here. The Baron says she did and then describes the situation in which Ciri came to end up at the Crows Nest. The gameplay session as Ciri is him "describing" or retelling her story of how she ended up in her condition and at Crows nest. And then he says he wont tell Geralt anything else about where she took off to unless Geralt helps him find his family.

Like I said I can't remember exactly, but I think that was the gist of it.

The side quest resolved itself for me as well via the
Get Junior side quest
. I'm not sure why, it's completed and definitely not "failed".
