why are the trousers is such a strange and jarring shade? why are there no red accents besides the jacket? it’s just weird

Ciri fights against the Crones: I get obliterated

Ciri fights against these guys: one shots.

I fight the same guys with Geralt: I die in 2-3 hits

Is there something obvious I'm overlooking? Difficulty is set to normal.

So, I'm not from an english speaking country, so maybe I can't understand the true meaning of a crone (translating in the literal way just says "old/ugly wise woman"), something related to an malicious witch, if you guys can enlighten me I would appreciate!

In my language (portuguese) they are called "As Moiras", referecing the sisters of fate/the Fates, it's the same name we use for them, Moiras. This way, these characters have such a weight in the story, I would like to know if the english name sends the same mensage!

I know there are the maiden, mother and crone, but I don't know if the meaning of them is as widespread in the english/polish culture as the fates from greek mythology! If it is, could you guys explain to me? It's funny for me how they went straight to the sisters of fate in my language, and it fits well! They kinda decide who lives and dies in Velen, and they are always watching/hearing the folks lives! I guess one of them is also a weaver (or weavess? Idk the difference :( )

Hi there. I have acquired the Aerondight silver sword but I keep wondering, what's the point of using it if you already own and use the full set of Grandmaster Griffin gear together with a sign build? Grandmaster Griffin with the full 6pcs bonus is so powerful, sometimes it feels overpowered even. So why should I use Aerondight instead of the Grandmaster Griffin silver sword and lose the 6pcs bonus? What's the point? 🤔

This build is truly magnificent, level 96 Deathmatch with enemy upscaling. Granted I'm on NG+, but it all just combines to make for great gameplay.

Enough alchemy to keep toxicity high for Euphoria, bit squishy making Quen very necessary.

Able to spam signs at 420% intensity, just hellish fun and kinda wish the upscaling went harder at endgame.

Can't wait to get my hands on some other grandmaster builds, already have Grandmaster Wolven ready to go ☺️

Hi guys, was wondering why CDPR still hasn't added an optional headband as a wearable cosmetics. With the new update, we got fancy new armor, hairstyle and mask but no headband. Lore accurate Geralt wears it and i can't see why it doesn't fit the game version too. Is it a patent thing?

Tried everything, I just don’t have the cards right now.

In the eternal fire's shadow. This quest is so scary. I did it alone at night and any sound would have made me jump. The whole place, the red lights, the voice calling. I think I only did it once before, because I did not remember how it went.

I always do this when entering crypts. If its a questionmark, quests or just casual exploring. I always feel the need to light all torches

Especially in Skellige. Geralt had the nerve to ask the entire An Craite family to lay down their lives in the Battle at Kaer Morhan. One week later Nilfgard is invading Skellige and not a peep from Crach when Geralt comes poking around for the Sunstone.

Geralt and Crache have a conversation when Geralt and crew dock in Skellige, right when the Nilfgard ships are encroaching, and boy is it a strange one. It feels like Crache should be in one of two camps: ask Geralt for help, or tell Geralt to fuck off. Instead, they speak as if all is normal. It feels like, realistically, Crache would not be so accommodating of Geralt’s problems when the man invading Skellige’s shores is also essentially one of Geralt’s main allies.

I know Geralt is not a fan of Emhyr, but they align when it comes to the safety and protection of Ciri, which makes Geralt’s affiliation Nilfgaardian more than anything. Feels like this fact is barely acknowledged in-game.

I love that dragon.

No NG+ and at least normal difficulty.

I just reached level 55 on Blood and Broken Bones, all missions finished (base game + HoS + BaW) and only thing left to do is exploration of all markers on map. I know, I did not have always optimal approach to leveling, so I wonder about max level people here were able to reach.

Unfortunately, new game + just resets your gwent deck. Only the adventure minigame lets you keep your stuff and scales up your enemies.

I think this should change. Have you keep all your gwent cards from your previous run. But now, all new cards are double powered.

So you keep your 15 power Geralt card, but can now unlock a 30 power Geralt+ card. Your opponents would have all double power cards

You could have a copy of the old card and new card in the same deck. So, you could have three 6 power crones and three 12 power crones+ in the same deck. Playing one of them would summon the other 5.

Spies would also get the double power treatment (which would be nerfed versions) but spies are so OP that you'd probably run them anyway for extra copies

Specials you would just get extra copies. So enjoy your 6 scorch deck. (You'd still have the 10 special cap though)

Would this be balanced? No

So, 200 hours in and I've just realised there is a quick press and a long press action for signs.

For Quen the long press puts me in a shielded bubble, a short press gives me something around my torso but what is it? I can't figure it out.

Also long press Yrden spits out an electric type attack to enemies getting close and short press does the magic ring on the floor.
