I think the alt-mode on Aard is great, but you don't need any of the other abilities for it.

I've installed the mod that makes the yellow traits active without slotting them in and I thought that was a good balanced approach, overall.

Taffer posted:I'm late to the party and just recently got Wild Hunt. I'm a good 30-40 hours in and starting to think about mods to ease some of the more annoying aspects. Unfortunately the OP makes zero mentions of mods and (as usual) the nexus site is terrible. Any recommendations? I just found a couple that make the minimap less poo poo (thank god) and I would like more nifty things like that. I used Fast Travel from Anywhere (use it carefully. if you've just done a quest and are in a building or a cave, you might want to run out first in case they were going to hit you with a cutscene), Perks Always Active, Display Quen Duration and Quen Visual Fix. I recommend them all.

Kill some bandits, sell them to the armorer in the Novigrad market square or, like, any other armorer/blacksmith. You get more money when you sell the loot to appropriate merchants.

Baronjutter posted:So I'm level 11 but can't kill a level 6 quest werewolf because it has insane health regeneration. I'll run in, stun, potion the gently caress up to buff my self, but even hacking away at it full speed it heals faster than I can deal damage. It's nuts. It's a regenerating enemy in a fantasy RPG. Set it on fire.

Baronjutter posted:I can't never get bombs to work, uses the same terrible interface as the crossbow so it's totally useless to me. The few times I tried to bomb him he'd kill me while my character would fumble in the interface and bomb-equipping animations, only to of course wildly miss because the bomb has to be aimed manually, doesn't lock on or anything. I wish it was just "press B to throw bomb at targeted enemy" and it just worked. You're at level 11, you should be collecting a Witcher gear set, not buying gear. Come to think of it, you should have gotten a better silver sword in the first village as well. I believe it was in a crypt where the

http://www.usgamer.net/articles/best-armor-and-swords-in-the-witcher-3 You should go get a Witcher gear set that suits your playstyle right now. (I recommend the Sign build from the second page of this guide and Griffin armor for a fun, versatile experience.) Then just clean out a few bandit camps and sell their swords and armor in Novigrad. Personally, I just dumped both at the armorer at the central market square near Vivaldi.

Assholes. I wish they could just do twenty hours of wedding-style content. Just Geralt hanging out with his buds in Disneyland, chillin'.

I've beat the entire game with the fast travel mod without breaking anything. You just need to, y'know, not teleport out of obvious quest areas. Baronjutter posted:The more I learn about sorcerers the more I think Radovid did nothing wrong. Wanton use of mind control and manipulation, extreme selfishness, arrogance, often claiming they have some grand moral code and then loving everyone around them for some nebulous "greater good" or personal goal. No, Emhyr's approach is reasonable. Radovid is just a oval office. Hieronymous Alloy posted:Ahh, OK. So which runes are the typical favorites? http://www.gamerevolution.com/features/a-guide-to-building-geralts-skill-trees-in-the-witcher-3-wild-hunt I played with the sign build on the second page and recommend it. I also used the Traits Always On mod with it, though.

I've legitimately stopped and dismounted more than once because there was so much yelling and wailing as I pushed peasants aside as I ran. No, it's about a dialogue choice in one of conspiracy-related dialogues.

Vitamin P posted:- Kiera's cool and I love how absolutely done with the whole village witch thing she is. Definitely gonna bro out with her as much as possible. Well, not to spoil too much, but this is a big-rear end reactive RPG and since they're both major characters you get to affect how their stories end. I'll be honest, I'm a big sentimental babby about these things and I always look up how to achieve the best possible outcome for my precious babby NPCs, so in case you're like that as well: For Keira if you want the best outcome tell her to go to Kaer Morhen. I think both choices regarding the research are okay as long as she goes there. For Ciri there are five major scenes that will affect how good an ending she gets. Her being an Empress or not is a separate thing and the choice you have to make to affect this is pretty obvious when it comes.

Vitamin P posted:I 1000% want the best for my children too but think the reactivity will be more fun if I'm spoiler free, plus I'm going to do a new game+ when both DLCs are out for a Perfect Playthrough anyway. The only things I already know are that I have to choose if Geralt really loves Yennefer or just feels that way because of a spell and that there are some gwent games that can't be repeated. Weeeeeeeell. It's slightly tricksy. Think really carefully. Good luck!

Supreme Allah posted:The way they handle Djikstra in that questline is one of the few disappointments in the game for me Well, it's two things. One, for in-game reasons, it's a calculated risk for him. He could try to get them now, while they're alone in his domain where he has a poo poo-ton of assassins to make the attempt, or he could wait for them to disappear and try to find them somehow in their own hideout surrounded by their troops. Geralt is a badass, sure, but Dijkstra is incapable of seeing the giant invisible "I have control over space and time and it is impossible to defeat me in combat" sign hovering over his head. Two, and that's a storytelling reason, that plan wouldn't involve Geralt, your protagonist. It'd just be "oh your friends died off-screen weird huh".

Now here is that child as a woman. Go turn her into a trading card"? hth

GuyUpNorth posted:Novigrad is gang politics and the like, in stark contrast to Peasant Misery Simulator so you just have to get used to that with perhaps new perspective. Skellige's main plot starts a fairly consistent tone. Yeah, I dunno. I thought Novigrad was similar in quality to Velen.

Jack of Hearts posted:Outside of his voice (which I think works well for a century-old dude who has Seen Some poo poo), I don't even think Geralt fits within that category at all. E.g., if Geralt were confronted with some bullshit like Riddler challenges, he'd roll his eyes so hard that they'd pop out of his head, possibly make a terrible punny joke, then go see if Catwoman was up for a quick shag.

v1ld posted:Useful suggestion, thanks, but digging around makes it seem like I may end up missing some quest triggers so I may use the mod after the first run is done. Just make sure you've actually left a quest area after you're done with it. Ask yourself "have I reached an area from which the devs would have trouble anticipating in which direction I'd go next?" and if yes, travel away. Never failed me. The one quest people have problems with is leaving Whoreson's hideout after having your chit-chat with him and, personally, I found it pretty loving obvious that I might gently caress myself if I teleport out of there. Just don't travel until after you've completely exited his compound. Run to a fast travel sign if you're really paranoid. Otherwise you'll be fine and you're literally saving yourself a day's worth of life not spent on tedious bullshit. You really, really want to use this.

Yeah, it's not exactly a recent debate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_human_experimentation#Modern_ethical_issues Me, I'm of an opinion you shouldn't be an evil oval office, but if you find someone else's research you might as well at least take a look at it.

Supreme Allah posted:Skellige is diluted because most of the water ?s are a waste of time. The land ?s are still solid and there are some real gems. I wonder if whoever was placing all those water ?s in Skellige was like "why am I doing this? who the gently caress will do these?" Or was he staying at work on voluntary overtime, enthusiasm burning in his eyes, going "yeah, people will LOVE this poo poo, can't let them down!"
