    What? Did I have to try to kill her or something?

    EDIT: I looked, every guide to the mission had the same thing. Are there multiple of those in the game?

    Apparently, he was not interested in my witcher charms.

    You're pretty close to where I am, also I randomly talked to him after, he's a shopkeeper, sells clothes. Interestingly he also sold masquerade masks. I hadn't seen those before so I bought one, its now a quest item. I guess I got it early?

    I swear this is the longest fucking game ever. I'm lvl 18, still in Novigrad and have like 2 wrap up missions to do. Granted I've done basically every side quest possible aside from gwent and horse racing before going to Skelly land but I feel like I've been playing for weeks.

    I'm still playing this game. At least there's no shortage of content. I think I'm near the end?

    I believe it's about 100 hours long or something like that.

    Well, finished the game, I got the 'good' ending that I'd like (didn't look up anything just ended up with it). FYI to anyone playing the ending does depend on choices made throughout the game, so just keep that in mind.

    Hard to exactly clock my time spent, GoG tracks at 55 hours but I only installed GoG Galaxy when I was like 1/3 into it, so I probably tracking 80+ (90? 100?) hours to fairly completely complete the game, I have a few quests here and there that i didn't get to and a fair number of ? points in the maps I never cleared. Probably another 5-6 hours of gameplay to clear those if I wanted. But I also didn't do Gwent and horse races.

    Overall? Best RPG I've played, period. By far the best open world RPG I've played, where my previous bar was at Morrowind. It is freaking huge though, and apparently two giant expansions (20+ hours) are on their way. But what this game captured well were the little moments in the journey. Those moments were well crafted and made you actually care more than usual about the ending. The ending was fairly straightforward, but the enjoyment was in the journey, but again the ending was totally fine in wrapping it up.

    Somewhere in the top 5 in my list of games all time. If you like RPGs, open world, good narrative, fantasy setting, play this game. The early game quests are some of the best I've come across, the ones a bit later are not quite up to the high bar set early on but you won't come across anything bad. If you don't have 50 hours or don't like meandering narrative, then don't play this game .

    Combat to me is sufficiently good to never become an issue, major annoyances are inventory management (bad), which will be apparently fixed next patch to give easier access to oils, potions, etc, and to reduce alchemy ingredient weight. In general crafting and alchemy were I guess fine, but at no point did I ever really run into an issue, past early mid game, where I didn't have every ingredient I needed always from just picking stuff as I went along so the materials part became fairly pointless. I would've been fine with just having the potions/bomb/sword/armor diagrams and formulas and being able to just make them without the ingredient factor. However even at end game there were a few basic potions/oils I still didn't have, its a bit luck of the draw.

    In terms of character building you're better off focusing, even at late 30s level at my end game I still hadn't unlocked any tier 4 talents in the 3 major talent sections (weapons, potions, signs). I also put points in all three areas, so I didn't focus on one specifically. Went with light armor, lots of bleed talents which synchronized well with the Feline gear and weapons I was using (bleeding is a bit OP on some stuff). Its worth buying a few of the talent reset potions and playing around with stuff as well.

    Everyone who has an interest in Witcher 3 really should give the game another look. Among all the neat (FREE) little DLC packages, we also have a New Game+ mode where you can carry over stats & equipment from your previous game! Hooray for replayability!

    http://store.steampowered.com/dlc/292030/

    EA? Are you paying attention? YOU SHOULD BE!

    (rumor has it that the next DLC won't be free, but will be a major expansion)

    fucking fantastic. im currently playing through on my first run, searching for dandelion atm

    pissed me off with W1 and 2 that you work so damn hard to get the sweet-looking armor and then play in it for 5min and the game is over. aggravated me off to the extent i went ahead and downloaded a couple mods that lowers all the witcher armors to a lvl1 requirement and couldn't be happier (here and here for the curious). i still find it balanced simply by the fact that all the witcher gear diagrams are spaced out amongst the different regions, are usually guarded by high-level monsters, requires high-level mats from high-level monsters, and you still have to go through the trek of traveling all over the damn map to get them. if combat somehow becomes too easy i'll just up the difficulty another notch but more than anything else i find the oils to be borderline OP in combat, not the pretty armor i'm wearing

    at any rate, already looking forward to a 2nd playthrough to check out other decision paths (RIP baron :crying:) and even moreso knowing i won't have to worry about getting all these damn diagrams again, lol. here's hoping i can squeeze it in before FO4 arrives...
