Finished The Warble of the Smitten Knight. how is it that I kept promises about secrecy and didn't turn mr knight into a bird creature... and that's the unhappy ending? Night Yup. I chose that one too. On the other hand, I'm not sure if that relationship is going to last in the other ending. Although it makes you wonder about use of feathers as a sex toy. By the way, what character build you use?

That quest was annoying, and the payout was not worth the tedium. Made me miss the banker from Novigrad.
Having since played Kingdom Come: Deliverance with its monastery sequence, trust me when I say you don't yet know the true meaning of tedium and annoyance.
I played ME1 on Insanity so yeah, I kinda do.

I didn't bother with the tourney at all. The whole concept annoyed me.

I didn't bother with the tourney at all. The whole concept annoyed me. I didn't enjoy it. Why they would make a tourney so heavily based on crossbow skills when those skills are sort of broken, from my POV. Additionally, even the dummies were far too hard to slice, I definitely saw my sword going through them and nothing. Then I am the sole survivor of the Melee portion but I lost anyway because I guess it's 2/3 *flips off the developers*
I went to talk to Regis, learned some more about Vampires. Geralt is off to find a Wight, possibly cursed. Supposedly extinct, it's a bummer to kill extinct animals. He asked a difficult question of Geralt. If he were reborn would he choose to still be a Witcher. I recalled all the stories between Lambert and Geralt. How angry he was. How much sadness Geralt had seen himself. But in the end, if he hadn't been a Witcher, he wouldn't have had much of an effect on the world. Wouldn't have met Ciri, wouldn't have met all his friends, fallen in love. It was the choice between being a nobody who at best died of old age, vs a somebody living a few centuries and all the joy and heartbreak that comes through that. SO I'd choose to be a Witcher all over again.

They absolutely nailed Regis (even most book readers like him), and finally having a chance to drink and chat with him was one of my biggest hopes for the DLC.
Regis, Iorveth and Roche are the three bros of the trilogy.

slimgrin727Well, I'd have to get know Regis more, but I really liked Iorveth and Roche forgiving Geralt for not siding with him and helping him in spite of it showed a lot of his character. So I'd definitely let those two be my bros.

Then I am the sole survivor of the Melee portion but I lost anyway because I guess it's 2/3 *flips off the developers* I had an easy time with the crossbow because I had maxed the skill that slowed down time when shooting. Retrospectively, it was a waste of an ability slot since the crossbow is woefully underpowered, but it was useful in this particular instance. Now hitting the dummies with my sword, screw that. How can something so simple be that hard? I guess mounted combat is another thing that's kind of broken, but then you're never really forced to use it outside of the tourney.

I guess mounted combat is another thing that's kind of broken, but then you're never really forced to use it outside of the tourney. You don't really need to do it to win the race either. Providing you use the most basic bolts, if you just ride fast and hit every crossbow target (easy if you have the time slowing ability) then the time added by hitting the targets is enough to win the race without even attempting to hit the dummies. For some reason, enhanced or magic bolts don't give you the added race time. If you want to hit the dummies, slow down to a walk and hit them, the extra time you gain will make up for the loss of speed, but on my last couple of times through, I have just gone with the crossbow. Phoray, you could use that potion that allows you to redistribute your skills to give you the time slowing ability, it makes using the crossbow relatively easy.

Shit boot blacking kid. 425 crowns for him to lie to me. Should have used Axii. I knew this Detlaff couldn't have been the final boss because I was kicking his ass when we first met. the plot thickens indeed.

Ah, yes, I remember Regis going on about "don't judge him too hard, he doesn't understand people well, he's too earnest, he can't control his emotions..." To which the obvious answer is "You do realize you're describing a bratty child?" The Beast of Beauclair, ladies and gentlemen Come to think of it, he does remind me of someone. But who...? Oh, right!

To which the obvious answer is "You do realize you're describing a bratty child?" The Beast of Beauclair, ladies and gentlemen Come to think of it, he does remind me of someone. But who...? Oh, right! My interpretation of Regis' defense of Detlaff:
-Aside from their Blood Bond, Regis is all too aware of the vampiric struggles Detaff faces every day, something most don't.
-Being a lonely immortal. he's desperate for kinship.
-Despite his more progressive attitudes, I think that on some level Regis still views mortals as "lesser". Like we would be sad and horrified if someone just murdered an innocent dog, but not to the degree of a person.
-Given his difficulty at relating to people and complex motivations, Detlaff struck me as something similar to Asperger's and/or high functioning autism. Regis recognized this, and felt even more sorry for him.

The main quest kinda rolls you along from one bit to the next. So when I finally got off the train (supposed to meet Damien at midnight somewhere) I decided to go do more important things. Like Winning some fist fights, playing with the new skellige deck (SO MUCH GWENT), beating the tournament, and now doing a few quests I'm now over leveled for (lvl 44). Like! A statues balls have gone missing! I let the old man bang chicks for an extra day then handed them over for a reward.
now I'm sleepy. May be able to finish this tomorrow. I notice that this DLC is more like... a true continuation of the base game. Question marks, lots of lil witcher contracts, it's own brothel.
This is the game that never ends~ it keeps going on and on my friends~

I liked him, and his pictures turn out really cool. I was surprised he was as genuine as he claimed to be. Most folks aren't in this game.
Re: the painter in the city I feel quite the opposite - I'd Igni him and all his work if given the chance.

I wanted her in the bedroom, because I thought that showed that I cared about her. But then it's also a bit weird, if she'd be frowning over my bed with Geralt and a lover. Are their paintings of Yennifer and Triss to put in the bedroom? And speaking of Yennifer--- she keeps coming up as Geralt's special someone in spite of this being the Triss file. This must have irritated people who hated Yennifer.

And he said it just the way someone was about to say Lover but then backed off. That's not ideal. The dialog responses may have needed another pass or two before release. Carrying choices over to sequels has never been their strong suit.

Are their paintings of Yennifer and Triss to put in the bedroom? I don't think so, not that I came across anyway. There was one I bought of a farm or something in the place Triss evacuated the mages to, so I put that one in the bedroom. The indoor lighting was as bad here as at Skyhold, so it really made it hard to see them up on the walls.
