The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I feel bad that the standalone Gwent beta has me totally addicted so I haven't come back to my playthrough of TW3 in the last 2 weeks! :eek:

I'm also worried that going back to the gwent in game won't be as engaging having played the standalone game.

I've finally committed myself to starting the game again. The furthest I've been is just beyond White Orchard after killing the Griffin. The main problem is how daunting everything seems, largely because of the wealth of content etc. I'm steering clear of Gwent for this reason. I just want to get down to the meat of the game.

Up to you but I think its worth playing, it doesn't have to take up that much time and it adds variety to play the odd game now and again. I loved it and I'm not really bothered about that type of game generally.
 
If you don't want to sink tonnes of time into the game then turn off the question marks on the map so you don't get that compulsion to go and check out absolutely everything!
 
Cannot begin to describe how much I hate gwent, it's a terrible game but I suppose I don't like playing cards in real life so that could be it.

Just managed to get to level 34 so I now have the Master-crafted feline armour set, my my does he looks smooth.
 
I was about to replay Witcher 3 with the DLC. I only played the base game last year, but have instead decided to read the 6 books first. 5 are 'officially' available in English.

Having just finished the first book I can already sense how much better the game will be. From what I have gathered from book reviews the games are set after, but many of the characters (from the side quests too) are featrured in the books.

For anyone interested the first 2 books are short stories, followed by 4 novels.

Perhaps this has already come up in this thread?
 
I have a question I need answering please guys but it contains spoilers and I can't see how to add the spoiler option with the new forum format - how to you add a spoiler now?
 
Just done The Whispering Hillock/Family Matters/Ladies of the Wood quests (they all seemed to tie into one).

Did you free the tree spirit or kill it? I tricked it then killed it and remains to be seen what happens as a result.

I still have of yet been unable to craft the Viper silver and steel sword. The blacksmith required to do so requires me to do a question that is level 24. I'm level 8 and the sword is only level 1 (but still better than what I have). That can't be right surely?

If you are talking about Hattori in Novigrad, his quest is 24 but I did it on level 12, it just requires a bit of persistance.

Get the guy at White orchard to craft them, that's what I did last weekend for an improvement in gear.
 
So the question I have is:

I told Triss I loved her whilst she was getting on the boat out of Novigrad and she came back to me. Does that mean that I will not be able to indulge in the delights of Yennifer later in the game?

Yeah think that's who I mean. I got sent to him by another blacksmith as they didn't make swords anymore.

I'll hang fire and wait till I'm a higher level then give it a go.

The dwarf? I tried him first and it said he wasn't the right craftsman. Will double check though.

You will be able to indulge in some of it, but there will come a point where you will have to make a decision what to say to Yennefer. And if you repeat what you said to Triss...I will let you discover that :D

You can but then they 'double team' you and leave you tied up in bed with Dandelion having to rescue you and you can't have anymore frutiness with either
 
when you guys do a new play through are you doing new game+ or just standard new game?
I'm going to do a play through of witcher 2 then import my save as i feel I've missed quite a bit of the story and references by not doing this but i feel like playing witcher 3 again everything will feel the same and i won't get a kick out of it as I've already done the story + first expansion meaning everything will come back to me as i play. Much like when i try watch a series again i get bored because i remember it all.

Also i feel it might get a bit tedious starting all over again if i don't do new game + but at the same time boring having all the starting gear in new game + i can't win haha

When I replayed the game, year after first finishing it, I did it in normal new game. I do not like NG+ since it means all skills already unlocked etc and the game then remains fairly static in character development and skill use etc. But to each their own of course. I did enjoy my second playthrough just as much as the first though, the game is so big that I already forgot lot of it, did some different choices etc.
Definitely a good idea to finish Witcher 2, I would play even Witcher 1 btw, still a great game even if production values are bit lower.

Do you know if any of your choices in the first game carry all the way over to number 3? like import 1's save into 2 then that save into 3 and say for instance a character that died in 1 is still dead in number 3 maybe?

I own all 3 of the witcher games so it is something i could give a go.
