PaybackJack posted:Just to warn some people, I was trying to finish up my Gwent collection in the post game and found some random shops and such had disappeared. Not sure at what point this happened but there's not even a marker on my map or anything of where the shop is supposed to be according to the interactive map. There aren't any persons in distress in the area so I don't think that's the problem. It's the vendor in Claywich that's not showing up in my post game if anyone can shed more advice on why they might not be there. Claywich vendor isn't there by at first, more info: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3720352&pagenumber=179&perpage=40#post445824407 I've found two merchants who buy crossbow bolts in Novigrad: On this map: https://i.imgur.com/f0npjsH.jpg 1) Empty bottle seller on the docks, the northwesternmost one on the map 2) Alchemist in the hut in the northeast. It seems this guy will actually buy anything, for full price.  Shame he doesn't have much money and nothing very worthwhile to buy.

I finally got into Gwent at level 20, and after not liking it a first, it's really cool. Act 1 spoiler Gwent question: The Baron is dead, and I didn't play him for his card. does that lock me out of the "collecting them all" quest?

Nope, go back to his room, there's a chest with his card inside. There should also be a note somewhere that tells you this. (Same applies if the baron leaves instead of dying.)

drat you, albedo.  I need it for the superior ursine silver sword but I just cannot find any for the life of me. Tried the alchemists I know of, including the master alchemist, and there's nothing to be found. Irritating.

You can get one superior potion if you make a certain decision after finding Ciri. Tell Vesimir that you'd prefer he brew potions and he'll just gift you a Superior Swallow for free.Aurain posted:You have to craft Albedo, Rubedo, Nigredo, Rebis etc yourself.

Hoping the Monday patch also fixes the NPC pop-in/floating drowners (in the air and underwater, they show up before they get animations applied)/missing art assets (lots more floating props than there were before, dunno if Radovid's chair was always levitating over the Oxenfurt harbor since I didn't get to that point in the game prior to 1.04)/chunks of the world map sometimes disappearing/music cutting out randomly/etc. Didn't see this stuff with 1.03.

The way the announcement sounded, it won't be a numbered patch. They called it a hotfix by name and will be added on to the 1.04 patch for consoles. It'll probably only have that specific bug patched up.

Do all spoils and loot that you don't pick up persist in the world? Do merchant's stock and coin change? EDIT: I'm curious as to if I can just leave spoils on the open map to save on space and just pick up the stuff in areas I will never be able to get to again or are hell to get back to again.

If you drop something however, that will persist. Merchants do resupply coin after a couple of days but I'm not sure about stock.

Minor update on the XP bug front:some dude at CDPR posted:One more thing regarding this issue. It doesn't affect every quest but only some of them. That's how we know the experience loss is not that big in total numbers. poptart_fairy posted:Christ, I'll hold off then. This is a fantastic game but I don't see myself playing it for quite that long. Isn't the DLC from the season pass supposed to pick up after the main quest? I mean, I'll definitely take a long break from the game soon, but that's not stopping me from going back if the DLC turns out to be good.

I've been having a ton of fun just running around cutting random monsters in half, throwing superior dancing stars and grapeshots on everything that moves and using my boosted aard to knock over crowds of bad guys. What's your beef? Edit: To elaborate for those who haven't experienced it yet. Using dancing stars to lower a mob's health and then finishing it off with a grapeshot is maybe one of the most hilarious ways to make everyone's upper body explode.

Grapeshot is ludicrous once you get Enhanced/Superior. It will just blow human enemies into chunks and stumpy blood-spewing waists. By the way, in the "Following the Thread" quest, I killed the guy at the end and he had two unupgraded bombs on his corpse, I believe Grapeshot and Dimetrium. They're still in my inventory right now, alongside the Superior versions I already made. It seems like I can just use them at will. Can I upgrade these? Having like 18 Superior Grapeshots would be loving absurd.

It will just blow human enemies into chunks and stumpy blood-spewing waists. You can't have multiple of the same tier of bomb or potion, but you can have one of each tier. It won't let you make a second superior grapeshot bombs. Though maybe if you're given one as part of a quest it's ok?
