The Witcher 3

Re: The Witcher 3

I ran into my first bugged quest last night at the end of the Skellige's Most Wanted contract. Apparently the newest patch broke it. Its sad because that quest is fairly interesting and previous actions affect the final confrontation.

I'm hoping I clear up Skellige over the next couple of days. I have the island to the East and North left to wander around and apparently I missed a treasure hunt piece on the Western isle.

I ran into my first bugged quest last night too . The Black Pearl. The quest giver gets instakilled as I'm trying to return to him.

Re: The Witcher 3

Not sure if anybody else has done this contract or not.....Skellige's most wanted,but it is bugged for me and won't allow me to complete it.

I've read that this happened with the newest patch (not 100% sure though) but it's a bummer that I can't complete it.

I'm sure most have already done this contract as it was a DLC freebie,but I completely forgot about it till the other day....I've seen the same issue on youtube as well...so hopefully you guys already did this one,or now you can avoid it till it gets fixed.

Re: The Witcher 3

A couple posts up, Kramer. I ran into that last night.

It's okay because I also ran through the Iron Maiden quest.

I have the same bug I think. Without the spoiler tag, is it that one character even after defeated just goes into the ground and never actually dies, triggering the mission to never finish?

Re: The Witcher 3

This is after Kaer Morhen, with the cuts scenes that were so badass and the action it really was awsome... don't think this is the end but damn sure feels like it I'm fighting

Spoiler

Imlerith and dude is getting on my nerves, been trying to beat him for awhile. Tips anyone? He hits me while dodging or whatever, what in the hell am I supposed to do?

Spoiler

For that fight I used a lot of the Quen bubble shield (second row of Quen abilities). It converts any damage to the shield to vitality, so that kept my health up. Use igni to melt his frost shield then hack away until he freezes up again.

Yes, that one exactly. Its unfortunate because I enjoyed the intrigue up throughout that quest even if the fallen boulder was invisible.

Well, I thought I was almost finished with Skellige, but I wound up finding about 4 more Treasure Hunt maps for the isles. I still haven't found the base Ursine armor, but have found most of the upgrades for it. I finally have the complete Superior Griffen set, though.

Re: The Witcher 3

I've only got the Feline with basic upgrades and the basic Ursinr armor.

I'm too attached to the Feline armor. It would be nice to find more upgrades for it.

I ran into that too, but there is a workaround for it.

Spoiler

Get the pearl before you talk to him. Then use aard as soon as the drowners pop up. Should give you enough of a window to kill them or at least make them go after you.

Re: The Witcher 3

New Game+

Details

Regarding some of the questions that appeared since yesterday, here are some answers.
Enemies will be stronger obviously.
What carries over? Player experience (if you're below level 30 when finishing the vanilla game, you will be bumped to level 30 for the start of NG+), items (excluding: quest items, books & letters, Gwent cards, usable items, trophies) and alchemy recipes.
When starting New Game Plus you can select any difficulty level.
You can obtain the Death Match achievement when playing the NG+ mode.
What's the starting level of the character when beginning NG+? The same that you had when finishing the game, if above 30, otherwise you start at 30. You also get a free Clearing Potion at the start so you can reset your skills and try a different build.

Re: The Witcher 3

New Game ?

Is that just what they are calling it or is it a new story all together ?

Not a new story,just the ability to replay the game with all your stuff against tougher enemies and such,and also the ability to try some different options this time around.

Re: The Witcher 3

Here I sit.. watching the credits to what I think is undoubtedly one of the best games I've ever played. At the end I felt like I was "emotionally invested" (for lack of a better phrase) in the outcome like I've only been for a few games over the past 25 years..

I need to find a way to rip screenshots from my PS4 without uploading to Twitter or FB. I don't want to spoil the game for anyone, but I really do have some awesome shots.

I do have a few questions with some things the story didn't answer..

Don't click unless you want to possibly read about an alternate ending.

Spoiler

I'm pretty happy with my ending. Ciri chose the path of being a Witcher after faking her death and I went the route of settling down with Triss. It felt right considering most of my time spent playing The Witcher 1-3 didn't involve much Yen.. just Triss. I was curious how Yen would react to Geralt's decision to choose Triss, but the story didn't mention her after my game completion. It would have been cool if certain important characters were highlighted on my map so I could go talk to them...

like give Geralt and Triss a house somewhere in Kovir.
