The Nobleman and Soldier statuette quests weren't completable for me until she was staying at the Chameleon. While she was in that couple's house, it definitely gave the impression of being broke.

The only quest I failed was asking Cleaver for help. I did the first two parts without him thinking I could accept his help for the third part but, nope. I didn't bother loading a save to fix it because I didn't really care about him.

GOG Galaxy is DRM free. You can uninstall the program and the game will still work fine.

Triss refused to stay with me before setting sail and I decided to stick to Yen from that point on. I can't help but wonder it had something to do with importing a Witcher 3 save. Of the three, only one I rushed to save Triss on and I'm guessing it wasn't this one. Even then, I'd be conflicted staying with Triss knowing what I know now--for Ciri's sake.

It's not the imported save. You did some things wrong in the game to get her to stay with you. Both times I've jept Triss and been exclusive to her and gotten relatively good endings with Ciri. I can tell you that the only things that influences Ciri's ending are things you say and do to/with her.

If you want I can PM you a link on what you need for different endings?

@Ferrum Master I agree with you about Galaxy. No reason to install it and have another platfirm when I can play all games from desktop shortcuts, just like the old days.

There is one catch... you have to make registry backup... because you won't be able to patch the game afterwards due to missing paths if you reinstall OS a lot. Otherwise... yea... FTW.

PS. I saw you playing skyrim again.... old habits die hard

I have a separate HDD just for GOG, and what I've found is that with OS re-install or upgrade, I run the game installer (I keep all the installers and game files on a storage drive so I don't have to re-download), the installer only runs briefly to basically complete the registry links and it's done. It's very quick!

Yeah, playing Skyrim again because Inigo and Arissa were updated, and I'm finding areas and quests I STILL haven't done. Level 53 and have still managed to die a couple times, which makes me glad (no cakewalk)! Inigo is now hands down the best mod in the game, with thousands of lines of unique dialogue, and he is witty and funny too.

I discovered Steam didn't install any of the free DLCs so...more content for the next play through! XD

I was wondering about that, because in our discussions you never mentioned looking for the wolf armor or any of the other free DLC.

One of the DLC missions is just plain silly and will have you laughing out loud.

The funniest part in the game was the flatulent trolls in one of the caves. :roll:

Ye the finger part was a bit over the edge... but I laughed hard

FordGT90Concept · Feb 3, 2016

I found this link (spoilers) which sums up the Prima Guide about what import decisions impact:
http://forums.cdprojektred.com/thre...cher-2-decisions-and-content-in-The-Witcher-3

In short, the save I played WAS Iroveth path. Iroveth/Saskia/Anais have been almost completely written out of Witcher 3. There is zero chance of them being added in an update/DLC.

It goes without saying that all my interest in replaying the game right now has vanished. There's not much more to see.

Edit:

And what of the Striga, Princess Adda? She wed Radovid and she was Foltest's offspring--a much stronger claim to the Temeria throne than Anais. The outcome of Adda was completely written out too.

The impact of your choices in the games matters extremely little. It's not like Witcher 2 where one choice can cause you to miss half of the game. There's only a quest here, a few lines of dialog there, or a fight that wouldn't have otherwise happened there.

I believe I will be following the same plan!

Devil-Walker · May 11, 2016

i been meaning to finish my game plus but im just to damn lazy to put all them hr in again. i got a pretty good ending so i'm happy how they game ended for me. if i would have gotten the one of the bad endings i would force myself to re play no matter what.

The Manticore armor set looks familiar.

Sounds good!! I really.like the UI and map changes which will apply accross the board to base game as well. Only a week more!

SonicZap · May 23, 2016

Looks awesome.

I can't wait to upgrade to a Polaris GPU or GTX 1060 and re-play the whole game with both expansions and all free DLC, this time with 60 FPS and high / ultra graphics instead of 30 FPS and Medium

Haha same here, though witcher 3 + rivatuner framecap is smoother vs other games capped to 30, good frame pacing from the engine and RT perhaps?
