Wait, there are already official Gwent decks out there? So why don’t we have a real analysis of the card game outside of the videogame instead of all this speculation?

5324

In before-

Fuck.

5325

I felt the same way. I’m all about team Triss but it was quite a bit of a let down that Triss and Geralt only say all of 3 sentences for act 2 and 3 of the game. Meanwhile, Yen is pretty central for the entire last half of the game. Just a small disappointment in an otherwise excellent game.

5326

Apparently they’re planning to patch in more stuff into the Triss romance option, per a story today or yesterday on RockPaperShotgun.

5327

So after re-starting my TW3 game in June, I’m now at 58 hours played. I have so much to go, I know.

I’m at the point of no return with Triss, and I think it will end up being an easier choice than I thought, though.
not quite as tough as I thought

Without reading too much into things, it just seems like she has a life awaiting her, with interesting and exciting things to do. Just feels like happier things await her, and those things don’t necessarily need Geralt or sound like his thing. Team Yennefer, I think, is an easier choice than I thought.

I will say this: whenever I see Triss’s deserted, defaced mansion house in Novigrad, sometimes I take Geralt there to just hang out. At sunset, alone, watching through the windows. I think about her in terms of this fictional world of the game and universe, about what kind of happy life she was hoping to carve out here. It’s like visiting a very sad museum of a life where things catastrophically didn’t pan out. Many feels.

Oh also, my Gwent deck is UNSTOPPABLE. Foltest 2 Northern Kingdoms deck FTW.

Is it just me or does the internet suck for RPG guides now? I tried looking up the missable quest Warehouse of Woe, nothing on Gamefaq’s first page, the wiki pages are empty stubs, and Googling for sidequests returns gaming site guides. Didn’t gaming media get out of the strategy guide business back when CGW was still around?

I remember being able to lookup all sorts of info from the Dragon Age wiki after the first game had been out for a few months. IGN has the best guides by far, but unfortunately they seem to dabble randomly in video. That leads me to the worst Google results: Youtube videos. I really would prefer not to have to sit through a Youtube ad followed by “HEY GUYS HERE I AM with some Witcher 3 tips…”, just to get the quest info I’m looking for.

It may be time to start buying official guides again. I’m gonna get Prima’s eGuide and see how useful it is.

I’ve been stuck with a 560Ti for some months, but I thought to myself, what the hell, I’ll try W3 anyway. Runs just fine on high/medium settings. How about that?! Now I get to see what all the fuss is about. ;)

The big question, should I go controller or m&k?

5330

Awe yiss, thanks rhamorim!

5331

Oh cool! One of us! ;)

I haven’t used M&K at all. Been loving it on my wired 360 controller.

5332

I went controller. I used to be a M+KB guy, but have started using the controller for many types of games. W3 played just fine with the controller.

5333

Well, let me just chime in with my 2 cents. I do own a controller, but was very happy playing the game with M&K!

5334

Ok, the Prima guide seems good so far with a map that displays side quest locations. Sweet.

5335

Thanks for the recommendations. I think I’ll stick with controller, although I do like the idea of hotkeying the signs and being able to quickly access F5. Movement feels better to me with the controller; that’s the deciding factor, I guess. Back to the Orchard!

5336

I kinda wish they didn’t take so long to get that 1.06 or 1.07 “fix all the broken shit” patch, as I haven’t played since 1.05 or 1.06 when I stopped playing in preparation of the ‘will fix everything’ patch.

I suppose I’ll get back to it eventually.

5337

By the time that patch comes out, they’ll drop the Hearts of Stone DLC and need another patch!

5338

There is always a “next patch”.

5339

I usually use gamepressure, find it to be good enough, although I did not use it for TW3 specifically (it was not finished when I played it in may)

“If I wanted to see white mice, I would just get drunk.” – G of R

5341

I got stuck pretty well last night. I was escaping through some sewers with Triss, and there was a door. We heard mice on the other side of the door. “Mice are my specialty”, she says, and blocks the door right after I open it.

I tried Aard, hoping it would knock her out of the way. But the game keeps saying I can’t cast that against Triss. Obviously I can’t burn/startle her out of the way either. I tried jumping on her, or talking to her, but that doesn’t work.

Didn’t I just recently (within the last year or two) play a major RPG in which you could push aside NPCs, so that just such a scenario could never happen? I miss that.

5342

Sounds like a bug to me. Most people move when I bump them. I had Keira get in my way a few times in one mission.
