That’s a very abstract version of feeling good, in comparison to the most concrete one known to man.
I found a pimp, with a cane and everything, walking lots of style with two harlots at his side. That was something.
I’m just trying to make you feel better about the pleasure-denying life choices you’re making for Geralt.
I appreciate the effort, but oh, man, it isn’t working.
The Witcher 3: Wild Oats
I’m very biased toward swords with runes on them. To the point where even if I get a really good sword that doesn’t have runes, I’ll keep using my worse one that has sweet glowing runes on it.
edit: holy shit…I can’t believe it took me this long to realize putting runestones on swords actually put the glowing runes on.
edit2: I just reloaded a save, spent half an hour getting the potions and bombs and shit that were suggested for HoS toadman, and he’s still fucking bullshit.
Hey! Also playing HoS , toad battle was indeed bullshit. I was lucky enough to kill him on my first try thanks to the Yrden alternate I have been using for the last 5 hours. It eventually stunned him allowing for 2 heavy hits. Took awhile but it did work.
HoS has a really good story so far. :)
Also I came across a tax collector that brought up the 2 money exploits I recall back when the game was released! So cool to see that. This is all probably old news seeing as how this DLC has been out over 6+ months.
The HoS story is just fantastic. I worry that future generation latecomers will skip over it to get to Toussaint and miss out on the wonderfulness.
I beat toadie by…
toadman strategies
building up Yrden is definitely worth it. Make sure you have superior Golden Oriole. The poisons he spews will HEAL Geralt. I’d even let the toad hit me with poisons so I could get HP regenned. Finally, he’s a relict-class monster, so I went with Superior Relict Oil. A combination of that oil, the Super Golden Oriole, and Superior Swallow and I was able to take him out.

Blood & Wine is SOOOO good. So many references to things in the books, too! So many clever “twists”, with just the right “feel” you get from the books as well. They even manage to get that perfect blend of epic and mundane that many RPGs completely fail to achieve (or don’t even try).
I love this game so much. And I’m loving Blood & Wine so much so far. There are so many moments there that I wish I had recorded, because this is the only time I’m savoring it for the first time. I’ll certainly play the whole thing more than once, but I’ll always treasure that first time.
Toad was bad until I learned the secret that starts with I.
I turned a botchling into a lubberkin!
The Witcher 3 expansions are a great 1-2 combo together, they complement pretty well. HoS has a magnificent tight story, and B&W it seems have a less spectacular storyline (from what I read) but it has a new scenario with cities and towns and castles to explore, more sidequests, more treasure hunting, more crafting, etc in other words more “sandbox rpg” experience.
For me toadie was hard but not that hard, Olgierd’s fights and the mage fight were harder. Toadie fight’s problem is that isn’t very interesting or fun to fight, it follows a tight pattern which have narrow windows of where it’s possible to attack.
B&W citizens are loaded, so many jewels and silver and gold. After cleaning up the entire capital and a pair of villages I ended with some good 8000 gold or so.
Now I have 4 grandmaster pieces, but two are from Bear school and two are from Griffin school :/. I need 3 of one school to gain the bonuses!
I thought he was a Cursed One?
I as in Igni? I try, but generally my stamina/adrenaline exclusively goes into Quen because he just one hits me otherwise. Hell, he hits me for 85% hp through Quen.
Knocked a bunch of stuff off yesterday. Almost to level 10 and now I’m banging through the Witcher contracts. I hit a few quests I missed the first time. Most notable is fools gold. Quick little quest, but I found it amusing.

Finished the main quest last night and I recall someone said upstream about Kaer Morhen being depressingly empty. They weren’t kidding. I high tailed it out of there never planning to return.

Hey I’m right there also! Turned mine yesterday…
I did that already as well. I found that quest really disturbing the first time. Think I’m a good 3-4 weeks from hitting any DLC. And that might be me being optimistic. ;)
You know what I love. The effort on the writing not only on the big character and quests, but in everything. Even the miscellaneous NPC traders in random villages usually have a unique thing. One herbalist ticked Geralt off though he apologized later, and one bartender in a inn asked about the war on the North, as she had family on Aedirn.
