DA Fan gives TW3 a shot: Text Based Let's Play

Wut! See, I never bought a single card nor played a game except at that first inn in White Orchard because someone told me the game was totally optional. So I had my ass handed to me good come Zoltan's quest.

Did you meet Corinne Tilly yet?

Someone say Gwent?!



Aww, I'm too late

You have an unhealthy obsession with that witch!

6 rounds of Gwent, a round of beating someone in the face, and Two contracts later (I get such perverse joy from making these Eternal Fire/Guardsman pay full price while I let the monsters go free from teh city) I arrive at Corrine Tilly's place.

I find Corinne Tilly a bit boggling. They went out of their way to make her very interesting. Then seem to forget about her for the rest of the game.

I realized that I've been buying cards I can't use? Cuz there are different kinds of decks or something, so I'd have to switch to SQuirrels to play the squirrel cards. Will be careful not to waste more money in the future.

Speaking of Gwent, I resolved to get the Deed of Land back for the Dwarf by beating the guy at Gwent. Skillz. Also, the bookkeeper merchant has a Ciri Special Card I want, it has power 15 but I beat him 2/3 times and he didn't cough it up.

There is this funny moment where Geralt is saying somethign akin to how appreciative of the common folk and the common life Dandelion is, then he looks over at a painting of Dandelion. And Dandelion is like, killing a lion with a big sword in his fancy outfit. <- This irony just struck me as super funny.

I looted the entire inn, went through the Lover Clues with Zoltan, and then saved my game and logged out.

speaking of Zoltan! I don't know if they changed a line or if I just had no concept of what Zoltan said first time I played, but he brought up he and Geralt's time of doing battle in vergen. I was about it.

I may like TW2 better than TW3.

night folks.

You have to do the Gwent quest in order to get the Ciri card from the Scoia'Tael merchant.

Douche...

The reason she is rather bitter with Geralt is because they aparently break up right after the end of witcher 2 and decide to go their separate ways. And nothing upsets Triss more then knowing she won't get a taste of her favourite grumpy old man.

As for Gwent, if you think that game is hard, way till you reach matches of this level...

Geralt does say the rose is just a fable either way.

Things did get kind of messy by the witcher 3. The devs took too long to introduce Yennefer and Triss was reduced to little more then a footnote by the last game.

I'm glad Molly wasn't poor and ripped off in this world state.

I don't recall it taking too long to have enough cards to make switching to the Nilfgaard deck viable. Just keep checking every merchant you come across for cards, and playing every merchant and other NPC that you can challenge for a game and you should have enough cards soon enough.

The Scoia'tael and Monster decks on the other hand do become viable too late for me to have ever really bothered with them. Same with the Skellige deck in Blood & Wine.
