I also spent a very stupid amount of time locating Witcher armour diagrams. I think maybe 5 or 6 hours because it's a weekend and I don't want to go outside and play with all my friends. I've picked up diagrams for Superior and Master by stumbling upon them but holy poo poo actually sitting down and decided to look for them all is a crazy trip. Playing HUDless makes it so much more fun too. Have all the sets upgraded to Enhanced now and sitting in my stash waiting for NG+. I think it took so long because I kept getting sidetracked - you just don't get the chance to wander off if you have the minimap up.

The most frustrating part is finding out that one of the armor parts in a a place you already explored, but you did a bad job and missed the one chest that had the diagram.

Had that with the Ursine thing. I went straight up past Rogne and found a ruined keep with a level 30 Ice Elemental (I was level 22 but it dropped like a sissy crybaby for some reason when a level 29 Golem took 4 attempts and this is BnBB) and thought that was it for the whole area, surely there'd be nothing else up that road! Few hours later I check the map for Ursine stuff and would you bloody believe it...

Delacroix posted:I think the wild hunt doesn't play a part in the miserable peasant simulation. Geralt and the politics of a continent in the hellhole age was an enjoyable experience but only consisted 4/5ths of the game. Bringing a satisfying conclusion to the series with the first appearance of character and a faction (that were only alluded to before) is a very tall order so I don't expect most writers, let alone a game to accomplish it. I think the problem is that 4/5 of the game is a very personal "Find your daughter" story and the last bit turns into Whelp, time to save the world The shift isn't handled very well, imo. It's sort of a commentary on how badly games are written. W3 is very well done, but it _still_ has major flaws in its writing. Yennefer is a great example: she's always going to be prickly and a jerk but she legitimately loves Ciri like a daughter. If I hadn't already read the books I wouldn't have been convinced of this at all - I think it's one of the weakest parts of the game and stands out more because it's generally so well done.

A non-halfassed anachronistic time travelling game would be a nice spinoff though!

This is on sale atm for nearly half price on greenmangaming via a GOG key, are these guys legit?, because that seems like a pretty huge discount Vs what I've seen on steam price tracker. I'm tempted to just get it on steam anyway for completeness sake

The amount of alternative dialogue impressed me. I loved being able to roam the world and accidentally bumble into contracts and quests with different responses based on what steps you took or missed.

Never a game that did this AND was fully voice-acted. There's a few places where I think old dialogue options should have been removed after in game events made them seem out of place.

One of my favorite instances of this is in Skellige. I found a random little spot I could hit with Aard and it led me into a cave then a crypt. When I came out, an NPC screamed 'A ghost!' and it turned out to be a quest to clear the crypt I was just in.

You can gently caress yourself out of rewards or different endings if you sequence break. Case in point the first sidequest you get where you find the guy's brother you can just go straight to the hut without wading through corpses. Since you don't have the brother in tow the Nilfgaardian soldier ends up dying. Doing the Hillock before Ladies of the Wood ends up making everything turn out better for everybody. The kids get saved and Anna doesn't get punished for it, so she get's the 'killing the tree' ending where she goes insane instead of dying.

Holy gently caress i hate Sirens. They are such crappy enemies. They pose like, zero threat but are just a complete nuisance while trying to sail around Skellige. Just this stupid time consuming bullshit you have to do every couple of minutes. Pull out the crossbow and pop off shots until the stupid things are dead, or jump into the water to make the controls even more awkward but you can one shot them. Also that noise they make is queued up twice as loud as everything else and become like nails on a chalkboard after you have heard in 10,000 times.

If you can't tell she loves Ciri from her badgering Geralt to go train with her in the prologue (even though it's a dream) or the voice work when she talks about Ciri as a kid in Ermion's lab, then I don't think anything could convince you besides the character turning to the camera and directly addressing you, the player, about how much she loves her adoptive daughter. Also she basically tackles her at Kaer Morhen, but that's near the end of the game, so I guess that's a moot point.

So I found that same quest someone was talking about a few pages pack, "a land far away" and I still have no idea what I did or what happened. I didn't even get the option to give the lady the stuff or say the code words. What the hell is this stone she gave me? Edit I guess I'll reload because the warrior guy was there right away I didn't get a chance to talk to just her JetsGuy fucked around with this message at 09:24 on Aug 2, 2015 |

Ok. First impressions are mixed. Kinda clunky a bit when trying to go up stuff but it's a small gripe. That and I feel like I always have to have my witchers sense goin. But it's nice. Haven't gotten really used to combat, learning to dodge and roll. Hardly ever use the sigil because I forget, and have died a few times. Nests, do I need bombs or can I just run in and go gung-ho?

You need the right type of bomb to blow it up at the end after you kill all the monsters. Don't forget to loot the items from the nest after you blow it up.

I just finished "Where the Cat and the Wolf Play" and revisited Millie in Oreton. The emotion in Geralt's face when he sees the present is so touching.  I then sold the picture for some extra gold like the monster I am, can't have junk cluttering my inventory.

If you don't sail straight through their spawn points there's usually just one of them who gives pursuit and you can fire your crossbow while going at top speed. Or maybe you are trying get all the locations? Actually fighting them sucks, cliff racers and all that. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Yea I knew about that.

Not-vikings and Nilfgaardians ought to have sleeker, faster or more durable boats.

Yeah I'm just sailing around Skellige hitting the question marks and it gets old having to deal with them every time I approach one. Also agreed some boat variety would have been nice. Or even just a boat item slot that makes them faster or more durable or whatever.

Illegal Username posted:Two questions: What does Alternative movement response actually do? It's the same controls just a bit more responsive (imo). Turn them on they make it way better. I think finishers just sort of happen? I'm pretty much at the level cap and it just seems random and maybe partially based on %chance to decapitate items? I never really looked into how those actually work haha.

Illegal Username posted:Just got the game, seems to own. Alternative makes things a little more immediate vs the original styles weighted feel. Might as well spend like 10 minutes with both. Neither is really better, it's just another option. I've only had 2-3 issues with the standard movement and I highly prefer it to the alternative. As far as I can tell on the PS4 finishers are fairly random. They'll happen and when they do you'll feel like an ultimate badass just like a Witcher should.

Then walk on over to it and hit attack when you see the option "Finish Off" show up. You are also invulnerable while finishing off an enemy.

OAquinas posted:They're the cliff racers of the Witcherverse. I thought this too. There are always 5-8 of them at every smuggler's cache. They pose no threat whatsoever and exist purely to slow me down. I have found it easiest to dive underwater and just one shot them. But what annoys me more than anything else is losing boat durability to random debris in water. I've lost a boat and had to swim this way. It has been a long and slow process but I nearly have all the points of interest in Skellige. The ones on the tiny islands are my favorites, especially level 43 archgriffon.
