Witcher III : PT III : Blood and Winos

[McPuritania]

I wear Witchee gear because it looks really good.

Most of the generic armour looks too realistic to be good lol.

Bear school gear looks great

I loved Cat school gear. Then they gave it that stupid hood with the Grandmaster armor.

Wolf school, and Viper school with black dye looks rad as ****. I also like the Bear school with red dye. The Skellige set looks pretty ****in' cool, too. Definitely one of my favourites.

 

[Harbinger]

I've forgotten how much of a babe Triss is. Definitely gotta giver her a sploosh.

 

[McPuritania]

Don't forget to look at all your items you can break down at the vendor. The name of the actual process evades me at the moment, but it's a good way to harvest materials as well.

Dismantle was the word I couldn't remember, lol.

 

[aleshemsky83]

Went to the "Cat Gear" scavenger hunt thing, done the first part.

Weird thing: can enemies hit through Quen? I was pretty underleveled (level 8 or 9 I think), and I swear I got oneshotted with it on. Or did it just run out?

Yep, they have to be a waaaay higher level but they can still break it and kill you in one hit.

 

[Harbinger]

Triss or Yen?

 

[Bocephus86]

Yen. I'm a sucker for dark hair.

Plus books and lore and blah blah.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Yea Yen

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Yen AINEC

The fact that she is legit annoying is a testament to the quality of the writing

 

[SpookyTsuki]

I like yen better but it's hard not choosing triss

 

[Section337]

As someone who nothing about this world before playing the game, Yen on my first playthrough and Triss on a recent second playthrough with the DLCs. Like others mention, there is so much that points you towards Yen as the "right choice". Even after picking Triss on the 2nd playthrough, it still feels wrong, so much shallower than it would be with Yen.

 

[Harbinger]

I picked Triss and stuck with the choice for several hours. Then I reloaded the game and went with Yen.

 

[Warden of the North]

This thread has had a min-resurgence of late, on what is very near the games 2nd anniversary. Impressive that the game is still going strong

 

[ArGarBarGar]

I always felt Yen was the better choice. The backstory with Triss turned me off of her as a potential mate.

 

[Whiplash27]

I'm replaying TW2 again before going on to do TW3 for a replay. I still love TW2 so much. It's funny how I remember where everything is still. Flotsam is one of my favorite gaming areas that I've ever come across, I only wish that there was a bit more content (for example there's a decent sized area past the bridge with the troll that's completely unused). I'm going to do Roche path and pretty much not bother with Triss so my Geralt can run into the arms of Yen. I picked Triss in my first playthrough of TW3. I really just want to get my Geralt the Blue Stripes tattoo .

I went out and bought TW2 to prep for another TW3 play through - I'm looking forward to that play through more than I am towards any new game out there right now (and I haven't played many new ones so it's not like I've done the "best"). Funny enough, similar to the person above me.

Maybe it was just the right kind of game for me but I haven't been that engrossed in a game since I was a kid, nor have I looked forward to a second play through (or made the time to do one) in years.

I tell myself that this time I'm playing on PC (vs PS4) so its like a new game but its the same game

 

[Harbinger]

the wolf school gear quest is bugged for me.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

the wolf school gear quest is bugged for me.

Trying to find the gear in the tower? That happened to me, once. Forgot how I fixed it.

 

[Harbinger]

You are correct sir.

 

[Warden of the North]

the wolf school gear quest is bugged for me.

It was bugged for me to (Im assuming you mean the tower) After I beat the main quest and downloaded the DLCs it worked. I dont know if thats coincdence or not.

So Quen is totally overpowered, right? As soon as it breaks you can just dodge away until you have stamina again and recast it.

Think I'm gonna not use it anymore. Hopefully it'll make combat less monotonous, which so far is easily the weak point of this game.

Just about any sign at its highest level is OP and broken.

Except Axii. I feel that one had a bunch of potential but isn't really useful against monsters.

Yup, makes heavy armor useless as quen makes armor irrelevant (and the second level makes any health potions irrelevant)

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I love the rune that you get in Hearts of Stone that makes your heavy armor act as light armor.

I meant Quen at base level with no upgrades. Seems to me you can't ever die if you play smart.

Feels like it's just a plain first order optimal strategy to spam Quen.

I played yesterday using base Yrden and stuff got more interesting.

Yeah, but then it turns into a boring grindfest if you are really underleveled.

Combat can be enjoyable without trying to spam quen. Yrden, Aard, Igni, and even Axii are all great in different contexts.
