Re: The Witcher 3

Anyone else think the text for inventory descriptions is tiny? I mean I have a 60 and I have to lean forward to read some of it.

I got the long and free hair cut with long gotee.

Bloody Baron Spoiler my ending

Spoiler

Well I freed the spirit in the tree and saved the kids but that made the hags mad and they cursed the barons wife. I found the right doll and the Baron and his daughter said bye to each other. I went back for my reward and found the baron hung by his neck.

Talk about dark...

So in your game....

Spoiler

is the wife alive or is she dead too? Did the daughter seem to have forgiven the Baron? I wonder what ends up happening with the spirit in your guys games. I stuck with my decision to kill it and I definitely have a different scenario playing out. So awesome how they made this game

So about the Keira Metz subplot...absolutely amazing.

Spoiler

How did you guys end it? When you first walk in after retrieving the stuff from the cart I could tell something was up and then at the dinner as well. We bumped uglies and then I confronted her at the tower, I ended up killing her.

Also stumbled onto the Allgod quest, takes like five minutes but is pretty funny.

I'm JUST about done with these quests. Must. Resist. Urge. To open. Spoiler tags.

You and the rest of the Internet.

I'm actually ok with the text size, myself. I'm just convinced that the entire planet sits about 10 inches too far from their TV's in general. Check out The Show forums and see all the threads about how hitting is too hard for reference.

Re: The Witcher 3

I wish they would've done a better job of guiding you to the Gwent tutorial. I didn't realize there was a guy at the tavern in White Orchard you need to talk to. So once I did I left Velen to go back and find him and now he's gone.

Otherwise this game is awesome. Really reminds me of RDR

After the 1.04 on PC the text is bigger, so it will be somewhat fixed for consoles too.

There are good Gwent tutorials on YouTube. It may seem complex at first but it's easy to learn.

Re: The Witcher 3

Only Barber I've seen thus far is in Oxenford, horse armor dude is back in white orchard he's the guy you saved from the griffin in the beginning of the game, he's set up adjacent to the bridge in that main town there.

There is a barber that is captured by a group of bandits around Claywich. Once you free him he will be available near the dock and will give you 3 styles for free (clean shave w/ default hair, clean shave w/ short sides and pony tail, and clean shave w/ long flowing hair).


Yesterday was my first day back to work since I started the game last Wednesday and I am having withdrawals bad. I'm reading as much as I can about Gwent, reading the vaguest descriptions of decision differences in quests I've already completed, and researching trophies. Unfortunately I was unable to get any real time in yesterday so the pains are even deeper today. I can't really remember the last time a game had me hooked like this - its like I'm a teenager again jonesing through KotOR.

For me (38) the last game that hooked me so much was KotOR too. Basically both KotOR 1/2. And before this Gothic 1/2 ofc.

Re: The Witcher 3

Not sure if a patch made geralt's hairworks-generated hair look better or if it just got longer so it doesn't look as off.

It's amazing that's something you can even wonder about in a video game.

Re: The Witcher 3

Reading about the hair and beard mechanics before the game released I always thought it would just be a throwaway thing. I didn't think it would be something I would care about, but the beard growth is implemented so damn well. It somehow adds to world-building and character growth. You can look at the beard and see all your travels in its length. I hesitated when I shaved Geralt the first time because I felt like I was losing some of those early game memories.

Re: The Witcher 3

Hey quick progression question, guys.

General consensus is to pretty much do all you can do in Velen before moving on to Novigrad. The problem is defeating The Baron's mission requires (I think) for me to go there. That, and some really low level missions are in Novigrad too so I'm afraid if I spend too much more time in Velen, I'll be way too powerful for a chunk of Novigrad's missions.

I don't want to get ahead of myself so what should I do? Finish up Baron's quest line and keep chipping away at Velen, or go between the two? I'm a level 9 right now, by the way.

I made the mistake of going to Novigrad a bit to early and pretty much got destroyed...I'm currently a level 14,and while sure there are enemies you can defeat,there are others that are simply waaaaaaaay to difficult.

In all fairness though,I have run into a few enemies like that in Velen as well,so I think what I'm going to do is clear as much of Velen as I can before moving on with the story.

Re: The Witcher 3

I finished that quest last night. My ending to the Bloody Baron/ Family Matters/ Witches Bog quest line..much different, read at your own discretion.

Spoiler

Wow... you got some dark endings. It played out a whole lot different for me.

If you didn't read my earlier spoilers..heres a recap. I ended up killing the spirit. I figured this was a mistake, but lived with it. After that I progressed the Bloody Baron quest. I found out the the daughter and the Gran in the Bog was the wife. I went to Oxford and told the daughter that I know where her mom was, she left immediately to kill the witches. I return to the Baron told him the same thing, and asks me to come help kill them.

Last night I go to the bog and it all plays out. Baron reunites with his daughter and they get into a verbal shouting match. We search the houses and we find the mom who seems to have completely lost it. We don't find the witches but we fight the fiend.

After the fight the daughter agrees to let the mom go with the Baron. The Baron wants to bring the mom to a healer to try anything to heal her. They all go their separate ways. It was pretty cool to have witch hunters and the Barons guards fighting together. No one died except a few guards.

You and I have the same story in this regard. I hope we see the family again down the road and the Baron becomes a powerful ally. We shall see how it all plays out.

I don't know if killing the spirit is a mistake. I am cool with it so far

Re: The Witcher 3

After the quest I went on a Gwent binge. I took out all the Velen players and Inn Keepers without trouble.I beat the banker to start the Big City Players qwent quest line.

I got my Northern Empire deck to 126 strength. I am no longer scared by the monster decks and their power that summons all card of the same number and power. Just make sure to stack biting frost in your deck before you draw to combat that power.

I want to play my Nilfgard deck but I need more spies before I think its good enough to compete. I am also looking for a scorge card.
