Geralt: Yeah, it's right there. Run, Roach! Roach: What the fuck do you think i'm doing?! GOAT tier quest. Wait, where's this? Sounds awesome. Like what nfi42 said, but you'll love the expansion. Had a rap battle in there too.

If it's of comparable quality to Hearts of Stone which I'm about to finish, I'll absolutely love every minute of it. This is already probably my favorite DLC for any game I've played, at least in terms of ones that are story driven and add quests. I wish there would've been some characters and villains during the main game that were as fleshed out as Gaunter O'Dimm and Olgierd von Everec. I'm looking at you, Eredin.
Speaking of Gaunter O'Dimm...he's pretty much the Witcher equivalent to Satan, right? Or at least an incomprehensibly powerful demon that's way, waaaayyy beyond things like the cat & dog that Olgierd summoned to keep his wife company or the caretaker

And about O'Dimm... all we know is that he's ancient, is arguably the most powerful known being, and is similar to a crossroad's demon in regards to his wish granting and soul collecting. So far what we don't know is if he's a native of the world, true appearance, or what he does with his collected souls. Also keep a look out for Gaunter references in B&W though.

For those of you with a NVidia graphics card on PC, Ansel is now up with patch 1.24 of TW3
When you feel like taking a gigapixal image, just press ALT F2 in game to bring up the Ansel hud

Not nearly done yet, but Blood & Wine is amazing.
Toussaint as a whole is also right up there as one of the most beautiful locations I've ever seen in a game.

RE: Hearts of Stone, on top of reviewing this expac(with spoilers),Bunnyhop here goes into detail about how it's based of the Polish version of of the Faust tale and how Oldgierd's design is based on an actor from the Polish film adaptation of said Polish version.
And like myself, Bunnyhop prefers this expac's story to the base game's.

Still one of my all time favourite games. I love how all the animations are done, Bioware could really learn something. I wonder if TW2 is just as good... I have yet to play it.

The Witcher 3 is so good that it makes me feel different while playing the game. It feels like a game that people will play forever and say how great it is.
The melancholic atmosphere in Velen or the first time you visit Skellige and hear that music... I love this game so much.

Thanks I found it easier than I thought it would be. Using Quen makes it easy. The only times I had trouble was running into packs of dogs and wolves. Very annoying. Even when fighting Eredin, I had no problem.

I thought gwent was hard until I saw a video showing how to play it. After that, I never lost a game.

I definitely am going to play The Witcher 3 again, and this time on a harder difficulty, and play both the expansions. I haven't yet  too many games to distract me. Geralt will come back to me in the next gaming lull. Probably around Christmas.

How often to you use the Quen sign? Its basically tech armour. I find it rather OP. Quen, Quen and more Quen! I focused my Signs on Quen (for protection) and Aard (for crowd control)... Oh, and quite a lot in Axii as well for "mind control" in conversation events. I had a little in Yrden for dealing with Wraiths but basically none in Igni.

If you can get past the wraiths in the baron quest in death march, then the rest of the game is easily achievable. do it.

DM in the main game is very achievable and makes the game more enjoyable as there is now a reason to use the signs and potions. DM in B&W and HoS is harder though. Edit: imo DM in NG+ is easier.

AHHH! I almost missed this threads existence! I'll just be mostly lurking. But I do have a question about the ansel thing. I didn't really understand it. It's for the newer cards right? My card is a 970, so not available for me, right?

My card is a 970, so not available for me, right? It should work with the 970, press alt F2 in game to get it to work. not it doesn't work in cut scenes. If that doesn't work, make sure you have the latest TW3 patch an latest nvidia driver, go to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Ansel\Tools and run NvCameraConfiguration.exe

Finished Blood & Wine. What a wonderful send-off for Geralt. That final boss fight was something, I never want to find out what it would be like on Death March. Even managed to stumble into getting the best ending a bit by luck, seeing as how it required a bunch of dialogue choices being just right earlier in addition to choosing the right quest branch at a certain point and fulfilling some optional objectives that are easy to miss/ignore as you're sort of unaware of their true importance. I do wish Syanna would get punished for what she did even in the ending where they reconcile, or that she'd at least show some true regret over how far things went and not just be angry over how she was treated as a child and how she feels betrayed by her sister. The people that died as a direct result of the chain of events caused by her actions must at least number in the hundreds. Though I suppose since nothing is implicitly stated otherwise, I'm free to headcanon something like her being locked up for life but with Anna Henrietta visiting regularly.
After looking the Yen cameo up on YT, I'm a bit disappointed in that Triss seems to be intent on them both going back to Kovir sooner or later while Yen just moves in. Wish there had been one more dialogue option added there to have Geralt suggest that they stay in Toussaint for good. I mean, a cozy home in Kovir isn't bad, but... it's no Toussaint. The weather is great, the duchy absolutely beautiful, I have a large estate, 99% of the people love me instead of spitting at me and calling me "freak" as I pass them in the streets, I have a lifetime supply of a wine named after me that I get regular deliveries of, my own cook and a loyal manservant who will play gwent with me whenever and as often as I please. Why would I ever leave? Surely she can easily travel there and back by portal daily if she's intent on keeping her job as a royal advisor in Kovir, unless there's some limitations to portals that I'm unaware of.
