27:24 Actually You can take part in those fights, just talk to a guy who sets bets 53:50 Well they actually do, Witcher 2 calls for attention 1:48:57 ye, from books specifically, (pretty most of the characters actually) Geralt broke his leg back then Fun fact 1: you can later come back to the banker's "haunted" house and visit Sarah and Corinne Tilly living and having fun together. I don't know how long after tho Fun fact 2: those descriptions that you are reading in bestiary, characters entry and that short narratives when you load a save game are actually written by Dandelion and from his perspective. He's a poet and that's his notes or some kind of novel. You can see that when he writes in those about himself in the first person. "a dear and loyal friend to me and Geralt" ~a section from Zoltan Chivay's character entry.
@@patricemenard8819 Im certain he would never came back there, as me after so many years since i played the game. Then i discovered it by making my next playthrough recently.
13:46 Sarah is a 'Godling', like Johnny in the bog. Had you thrown her out she goes to live with him, so this quest is good either way. 18:10 The banker where you can change coin is on the SW corner of the main square, where they were burning mages. 22:05 Yes, it's good and interesting to get all the back-story. The books end with Geralt's and Yenn's death, as described, Ciri taking them to [heaven?]/[another planet?]/[IDK!], then going 'travelling' between worlds. CDPR set Witcher 1 5 years later and made up a handwavium story of how Geralt didn't actually die, etc. ... W1, W2, and here we are in W3 with Ciri returned, chased by the 'Wild Hunt' [dramatic music]. 27:20 Those fights that go on 'the whole time' in Velen, Novigrad, and Skellige are boxing championships you can enter. There are also horse-racing championships. 1:27:30 Priscilla's song, 'The Wolven Storm', is about Geralt on the path, dreaming of Yennefer ('your scent berries tart, lillac sweet', etc). The lyrics are in the in-game book 'Ballads and Hymns'. 1:48:59 Dijkstra is a book character, former head of Redanian intelligence. 'Events' sometimes put him and Geralt on opposite sides. Once, instead of having Geralt killed, he held him captive to keep him away from trouble, because he respects and even likes the witcher. Geralt saw things differently and shattered Dijkstra's ankle to escape. 2:30:52 All mages can teleport - Yenn teleported away from Vizima remember, and offered to teleport Geralt to Velen. Theirs is a much more limited ability than the Wild Hunt's though, and certainly can't go to other planets. Not even the Wild Hunt come close to Ciri's powers. Dandelion [Book/Game lore]: very briefly, Dandelion is Geralt's best non-witcher friend. He's a 'normal' human, poet, singer, storyteller, and a completely different character to Geralt. He's a big-head, dandy and a womaniser, useless in a fight and most other situations. Nevertheless, he is both famous and the reason for Geralt's fame, because a lot of his stories are about his travels with Geralt, and while Geralt sometimes gets exasperated with him, he is a genuine friend. According to Dijkstra, Dandelion "is almost 40, looks almost 30, thinks he's only 20, and acts about 10". Sidenote: the character descriptions in the menu and spoken loading/epilogue scenes are written by Dandelion, so that's who 'me' and 'I' refer to in those. IIRC: Geralt (obviously), Triss, Dandelion, and Zoltan are the only characters to be in the books and all three games.
@@Bloczek7940 That's only what most fans of the books think about but it not really known if they are in the Arthurian legends. One is actually known and that is Ciri can't follow them(but she would if she could) with her power so they are definitly death but where they spirits go is unknown and a readers fanatsy ;)
@@Bloczek7940 Ciri certainly goes to Arthurian legends (Sir Galahad, Lady of The Lake, et al) but she left Geralt & Yenn to do it. There's the whole ferryman-underworld thing and no hint/explanation of them being saved from death, they don't know where they are and Ciri cries about it, so I've always read the place as 'heaven'. On the other hand the unicorn gives Ciri her powers back and she did 'something' to the Witcher (and presumably Yenn) so perhaps she resurrected them. In the end it doesn't really matter - somehow Geralt's alive for W1 and we just have to take it from there.
IIRC the barkeep at the bar where Pricellia sang can be beaten in Gwent for a pretty powerful card. Can't remember which one, but I remember seeking him out to acquire it.
Pricilla song was about Geralt and Yennefer and the wish that bound them together. You should read the book you just picked up: The Last Wish..will give you some background story about them
Few things you may have missed: - Dandelion asked Moly for cash to hire boat... and thief loaded gold on boat - He asked Vespula about girls working in washhouse and some work in the baths too - talked with Rosa and her sister about margrabe Heckel - and this one, dead margrabe appeared on place in day of explosion - read book about fungi with Marabela - and thieves had antidote of muschrooms in sewers - Zoltan mentioned he take someone to look how people break rocks and talked about troll's habits - Priscilla told you Dandelion wanted to rob Djikstra/Rouven (and you have seen part of it in dream with dreamer girl) Guess now you know why you looking for stolen treasure :D
You should check the books - there are many references in the W3 dialogues/quests. The first two books consist of short stories, so you can even read them out of order if you're not into reading the whole. It's not long reading, and you can probably find it somewhere in internet to "get the taste" At this point i recommend: "The Edge of the World" - Geralt & Dandelion meting, also about elfes situation in this world, so you can better understand game, "The Last Wish" - Geralt & Yennefer meeting, this lore will be important in one quest later in game; To this you can add Geralt & ciri backstory, thoug you probably wont understand more without finishing whole series: "A Question of Price", "The Sword of Destiny" & "Something More" Bonus, with information needed probably in next few gameplay episodes will be: "Eternal Flame" - this short story takes place in Novigrad, and conatains next story-realated character
2:21:35 If I was you I'd select the rest of your books/maps/notes when they pop up on that panel. That way you don't stay locked out of scavenger hunts, secondary quests, and bestiary entries.
Please go to the Casino first but ingonito and then Play as long as you can! Why? It is good training and the opponents are not as hard as the Baron...oh and you can get some coin and cards... Good luck J 😄

If you need new formulas for oils and potions in novigrad I can tell you exactly where you can go when you and Tris talked to the guy about that package if you recall and that immediate area outside there's a herbalist shop he has a lot of the missing alchemy diagrams you will need there's also a herbalist Hut outside of oxenford as well I would try to do those pretty quick it will really help you out also if you want to level up fast and get a ton of XP toward the bottom left of villain there is a liberation zone we're a bunch of drowners that are special type of drowner that spawn in their level 15 but they give you a crap ton of xp you can kill them then go back to White orchard and wait 1 hour then come back rinse and repeat as much as you want t
Your card are ok for random players, also its about strategy, far from me the intention of being mean, but it left to be desired against baron😅 tho its normal at the start, gotta play to get better
@@patricemenard8819 yeah for sure! I’ll be doing more research on gwent to better understand it bc I do love it so far and collecting cards will be a lot of fun as well
@JxStn. There is a separate quest to play a gwent tournament in Velen. Its good training against different strategies and tactics, and if you win, you get some good cards to fill out different decks. I used to frustrate my friends, come into work "played Gwent this weekend." "You mean you were playing The Witcher 3?" "Well, yes, but I was playing Gwent. A lot." The expansions added the Skellige Faction cards to collect and master as well.
Not trying to spoil anything but you can only pic yeniffer or triss. You can't romance both or you won't get either in the end. You can sleep with other women and it won't affect your relationship with either of them but you can't romance both so be careful with your dialogue choices when you're talking to either of them.
it's really hard to make the "better" choice with the godling girl they way the issue is presented. the loss is not as dramatic as with keira, but still... ps: "being nice" to the girl, but to the banker - not so much :)
That song from priscillla was about geralt and yenn if you didnt notice
Such a great song!
@@patricemenard8819 That makes more sense now! Lol such a great song
A lot of these characters you meet such as dikstra and Zoltan are from the books. That’s how Geralt knows them.
27:24 Actually You can take part in those fights, just talk to a guy who sets bets
53:50 Well they actually do, Witcher 2 calls for attention

Most clitems cap at 100 in inventory. When you hit 100 in most crafting items, sell like 70 of them for extra money.
The banker is in the square where you watched the witch hunters burning people at the stake.
Pricilla song was about Geralt and Yennefer and the wish that bound them together.
You should read the book you just picked up: The Last Wish..will give you some background story about them
You can trot. Run and gallop. When you stop galloping to regain stamina, run. You seem to walk instead, and they pass you
It's not "guys from another games" this setting is built upon a book series.. which's a way more superior basis for a good story.
When you get all your armor and weapons upto grandmaster you’ll be able to slot 3 runes into your gear
Few things you may have missed:
