Yen is a bit tough, but at least she's honest. Triss was untrustworthy(if you've played previous games).I'm off work for 2 weeks following surgery so have had time to play this again.
I can't believe it's taken me 10 hours to get around to completing "Ugly Baby".So much exploring and stuff to do, this game is crazy.
As for Kaer Morhem... I really like Lambert now, he's my fave witcher
The whole series of events at Kaer Morhen are brilliantly written and executed. Really enjoyed peeing off Yen and getting teleported above the lake and of course, had to annoy her again by trying to get some bitches in
Triss is far nicer than Yen IMO; Yen is a real cow.
BTW did they introduce scaling to some quests or something, because a few I've done that are below me were actually quite tricky. Or maybe I'm just really rusty.

Corrected my post, I meant 100 hours, not 10! Jesus what a time sink.
Once thing I notice about this game is that you're rewarded for exploring. I've found some great stuff just looking around where there weren't even any point of interest markers (question marks).

So there is loot around the world apart from where the question marks are?

I'm currently in Velen at level 10 and I've just finished the Bloody Baron quest line. Should I go to Novigrad now or do a few more side quests first? I don't want to be over-leveled for Novigrad or Skellige.

Do the quests at the suggested levels and you cant go far wrong. Do them a few levels under if you want more of a challange.
And quests, yes. Generally I follow paths that don't seem to lead anywhere or look for things in the distance and follow them. I love exploring and grabbing screenies.
Botanical garden in Kaer Morhen is one example

Anyone playing ng+?
Was doing the last part of the Bear School(part 1) treasure hunt and got stuck. In the castle where you pick up the last 2 parts, the gate does'nt open when you pull the lever, so I am unable to get out. A couple of wraithes are meant to appear as you walk towards the gate, but they don't. Have tried replaying this, numerous times and the result is the same.
I never had this issue from my last 2 play throughs in normal game.
And since patch 1.11, I have had the game just completely stop working, a few times, no crashes, no BSODs, just closes. Also find my cursor changes sometimes when I'm in Inventory, etc., and items flicker when the cursor goes over them. Having more issues in this one game, than I did in my 2 previous games combined.

I've just finished the main story and I know what you mean. I can't believe how good this game is.

Has this game got more CPU intensive?
Running a 4670k and 970 both at stock (1080p), they both hit 99% just looking around the square in Novigrad.
Running a 4790k and 980ti at stock (1440p), and the CPU hits around 75% in the same area.
I can't remember it being so tough on the CPU?

At 1080p, in the Square in Novigrad, my CPU hits 100% and bottlenecks my 980 Ti. The game can utilise 8 threads so my 4 thread processor is now showing it's age. Same goes for GTA V.

I'm enjoying the DLC, however...
Is it just me, or does every ? now have the same set of soldiers to kill? I must've fought that wee group about half a dozen times tonight.
I'm off work for 2 weeks following surgery so have had time to play this again.

I generally dislike these stupid "waifu wars", but Yen is much more interesting character and Geralt's true love, even if she can be abrasive and unpleasant at times. However she always has a reason for that. Geralt did some stupid/bad stuff to her. Calling her "real cow" is reductive and shortsighted.
