a greedy god quest

Spoiler

I dont know which to do, kill him, tell the peasants or compromise

what are the pros and cons of each! I feel bad

Spoiler

killing him, but then at the same time I feel bad for the peasants

Spoiler

I was okay with demanding he accept the offerings the peasants could make for the duration of the war. He seemed to be, for the most part, a benevolent force in their lives. A protective creature, if a greedy one. I figured they were probably better off with him guarding them, as he had.

Why isnt there any side quests in Oxenfurt? I have been looking forward to do the quests in the academy for a very long time.

It feels empty compared to the rest of the places in the game.

Probably because of the Expansion. First DLC will take place in Oxenfurt.

 

[RoadHazard]

Fyke Isle? Been there done that. You'll get a quest to go there later. And then another one. And then a freaking third one.

Ok, but why does the "haunting" icon even pop up there if there's nothing I can do about it? Oh well, I'll come back when someone tells me to I guess!

Radovid closed the academy. Still, kind of disappointing there's nothing much to do there.

You've done the first part of the quest with the mage, I'm assuming? You might be able to use the thing she gave you -- I'm not sure -- otherwise you need the

Is this game anywhere as good as New Vegas?

If you kill him the peasants get unhappy, you're better off reasoning with the 'God'.

Yehhh, this seems the most reasonable option.

Cheers guys.

the peasants about the underground lair? lol

It's better in every way imo and I love New Vegas.

because it's the place where the first dlc will took place.

Yea... but they still could have added a few sidequests. Not complaining though.. Expansions will be done really well.. I can wait.

 

[Moff]

Can someone give me an idea of what the loading times are like in Valen on PC? Coming from ps4, they feel like they are over a minute.

it's everywhere the same, about 5 seconds
the worst part was that you couldnt abort the cutscene when you manually loaded a save, but the last patch made that possible

Surpasses it in basically every way but I'm not really a fan of Fallout, I find it bland, repetitive and non-immersive.

 

[aku:jiki]

Wait, it's just straight-up closed and you can never go there? Huh, I thought for sure it'd open up later... That reeks of "DLC cut from the main game".

Yehhh, this seems the most reasonable option.

Cheers guys.

It's the path that gives you the most XP so it's what CDPR intended, though I don't feel like they really sell you on

Spoiler

the "god" not being so bad. I wanted to murder him for being a dick to the peasants

but I googled it and it is the best outcome.

 

[Majukun]

different kind of rpg IMHO..here you don't have as much freedom in actions and combat as the bethesda games,but you have a more consistent world ,better narrative and more interesting quests (although a bit repetitive in nature)

all in all is a really good game,you should pick it up regardless

 

[J4g3r]

The Missing Miner contract that came with this week's free DLC is on a notice board in Blandare (Skellige Isles) for those wondering.

It's a level 27 contract, about to try it as a level 24 on Death March.

Eh, don't think so? I just went there as I was exploring. Found his notes and such, but nothing more happened. Guess I got a bit ahead of myself there!

I've done the quest where you and

Keira run around in the elven ruins, yes, and the short magic lamp quest before you leave. But she has the lamp, not me. Ah, maybe the "inivitation from Keira" quest moves this forward, haven't done that yet. Right after leaving the ruins I set off boating, and ended up on that island.

 

[Majukun]

do we know next week's dlc?or are they a surprise?

and how do we select between the two yennefer's attires?

 

[JJD]

Can I sell all my books and contracts? I'm afraid to lose any quests or other stuff by selling then.

I don't want to carry all that stuff, and the menu is getting even more laggy.

 

[UberLevi]

Anyone know where I can get my hands on that damn Dimeritium ore? Stuff seems hard to come by, but all the Mastercrafted gear requires it. So far I've only had luck with dismantling rare swords.

 

[Yibby]

You can change it in the main menu.

I have about 10 ingots of dimeritium. Try to look at all chests and barrels on quests. That's how I found then. I'm not that far on the campaign, only now I'm doing the first Novigrad main quest.

Maybe some vendor sells then later.

No, he closed it for political (or paranoid) reasons. There's witch hunters on the streets yelling that now is your last chance to surrender contraband books. Can't have those freethinking philosophers running around.

Yeah exactly. I did the exact same thing as you in the exact same order. That quest will allow you to progress.

Where do I find the DLC on PS4? Tried searching but came up empty.

Go to the PS Store --> Witcher 3 --> Add-ons.

You can buy the horse stuff on the first vendor you meet on the village on White Orchard.

And you can change your hair and beard style on a barber on Oxenfurt and Novigrad.

 

[Cerity]

I really wish they'd spent more time tightening up the combat, right now it just feels like a bunch of nice ideas thrown together and not the fine tuned, well oiled combat that I'm used to out of MonHun and the souls series.

Witcher contracts especially feel like a bit of a crapshoot, it's like they've put together a moveset and just made sure nothing was broken about them.

Idk man, killing that Lv 14 Basilisk at Lv 4 felt a LOT like MH
Granted, I play on difficulty 2/5, but it still took me 20min and the damn thing could kill me in 3 hits.

What's the charge attack called that goes through guard?

 

[usp84]

Can you store items somewhere or have more than 130 weight limit?

 

[smudge]

I have a question about being under leveled, I am level 14 and have done main story quests up to the one which takes you to Skellige which is marked as level 16. All of the side quests and contracts I have range from 20-33. I have tried a couple of them, but just get 1 or 2 shot so is very frustrating. I have done a tonne of ? markers in Velen. I feel like I have missed something major, or perhaps I just need to explore Velen more?

I am concerned that if I continue with story quests I will be close to finishing the game before I am high enough level to do the side quests? I understand there is still a lot of story to come and I will back and forth between areas, at least I hope so.

It just feels odd to actually be so under leveled in an RPG as I am usually over leveled.
Did anyone else experience this ?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Drop your stuff at a fast travel point, you can retrieve it at any time.

on hard difficulty usually your sword breaks before you defeat an enemy with >10 your level..believe me,i tried

some are straight up impossible due to the fact that they can heal themselves

 

[Zomba13]

You can "store" items on the floor anywhere. Just drop them and they will stay there forever (or at least are still there after 40+ hours of playing in different zones and areas).

On PC you can mod it so all items weigh 0.01 each.

 

[Pooya]

I'm level 18 and I feel I can take on everything now, my swords are way OP. I have enhanced oils and bazillion potions. I explored most of Velen, it took ages but I found some fat loot. The game is kind of easy now, even level 20 something monsters. Hopefully there are stuff in the game that really need a max ability character.

I bought the +100 saddlebags, 160 carry limit feels endless. Selling armor and weapons net you a lot of gold, it pays itself back quick.

This is the best. No worrying about what you're picking up.

 

[aku:jiki]

Zerrikanian saddlebags allow 160.

This is the best. No worrying about what you're picking up.

Nah, there's no reason to worry regardless. I loot everything possible and hitting the limit is just a reminder to go off and sell it, which is a reminder to keep my economy going and also a reminder that I should probably equip any better gear I found along the way. Most things weigh very little, only armor fills your inventory up quickly.

 

[Scrawnton]

I spent last night crafting a new set of griffin armor (I'm level 8). The game is still full of surprises. I barely do story missions. I just discovered you can buy letters from blacksmiths that contain treasure hunting quests for armor sets. That's how I got the griffin armor plans lastnight. I am really starting to get into the loot system more and more.

I found a sword that is curved back and forth like a snake with neon green inscription on it. I am happy with the way the armor is starting to shape up.

The word is so awesome to walk though that I feel I will miss out if I dont ride Roach everywhere

I checked with the Master armorer and blacksmith, and neither seems to keep it in stock. I used to have a lot, but I'm trying to get the Mastercrafted version of all 3 schools. All I lack is one now, but I've used up all my dimeritium.

 

[KHlover]

Thankfully I had just repaired that sword before the fight and also had some of those mobile repair kits so that wasn't a problem.

What WAS a problem however is that goddamn scream. Stuns you and breaks Quen, yay. Just like in MH

I avoid the fast travel points whenever I can. The only time I use them is if I want to go to the city real quick for crafting. But I always walk back from the city to where I originally was.

[Drama Zed Nod]

is the new DLC out on PC? The new look for yen.

Also, how to you change her look?

If it's a spoiler on how to do so, just say.

I'm still obsessively trying to clear out Velen.

 

[Dmax3901]

Just got to Skellige after roughly 30 hours. Shit's crazy. Good to get out of Novigrad again and just explore the wilderness with Roach.

 

[nbraun80]

And then you try the gwent tourney and get reverse nuked.

Yeah I just tried the tourney a little awhile, was only lvl 16(it's 26?), figured it's just a tourney who cares. Won the tourney, but uhh other things transpired that won't let me beat that damn mission til i level up...
