Thanks! Looking forward to seeing the new stuff!

And meh, didn't like Shani in the first one.

That is kind of the point, Shani has clear understanding of their relationship. She also completely understands Geralt's passion towards witcher's path and She excepts nothing less vise versa. In short, Shani and Yenna love Geralts for who he is not who he could be.

 

As for the expansion, it is so well done. Hearts of stone brings in so many awesome characters with great humane intrigues and complexity , yet it is just sort of a teaser for next major expansion.

I don't know what to expect when Blood and Wine releases, especially Fringlla plays major role there.

My Triss accepts Geralt just fine--without the old maid nagging and yelping. I have a clear understanding of their relationship.

I am really excited about both dlc. I am wrapping up the master armor quest now and then I am off to start it. I'd like to be a bit deeper into the story, but I can't wait any longer.

Shani is fine. Nicer than Yen. Still <Triss.

Her new voice is nice.

I'm aware of the option and I appreciate having it, but that's not my preference. I want it to be part of my adventure, with a history of choices I've made behind Geralt. It's hard enough as is pretending he's my character already, as immensely enjoyable as the game has been.

This. And specially when Triss and Yen does comment on your HoS adventure.

Edit : I can never look at a tax man without smirking ever again.

He is a really wonderful civil servant.

Man, those boars are no joke lol.

I lied like a rug. Wonder if it'll come back to bite me.

"The witcher code forbids it!" exclaims Geralt as he empties some dumb farmer's liquor cabinet.

The boars stomped me into the ground.

I don't see any passion for the witcher's path in my game. Geralt is bone tired of it, and is quite possibly every bit as resentful of his lot in life as Lambert is, albeit less annoying about it. And in the end, he's chasing a normal life and family that he can never have, ultimately settling for an approximation of it, whether it's finding peace and happiness with Yennefer and Ciri, or with Triss far away in Kovir. For my part, considering the traumatic history he shares with Yen, I understand why he'd want to cut her out of his life, regardless of any affection he might still harbor. Meanwhile, Shani seems to have plenty of her own stuff going on. If Triss and Geralt love each other, and she's supportive of leaving the northern kingdoms (and all that tragic history) in the dust, and taking Geralt with her to seek a new path, that works pretty well for me.

 

This is my reading of it, and it's actually well supported from the very first game. I haven't finished TW3 yet though, so subsequent events might preclude that interpretation, but it's what I'm going with at the moment.

Don't know if it made it into the game or not (with the romance patch?), or if it was just something else, but I remember that at some point Geralt had lines commenting this Yen/Triss situation to Ciri. Might've been true since at least half of the stuff that I read ended up in the patch.

 

Edit: Never mind, found it. It made it into the patch.

That's awesome (and vindicating!). Without spoilers, can you tell me roughly where it appears in game? Hopefully I didn't miss out on it.

[TmTapani]

It was during a quest called "Payback". Haven't got the slightest idea of a timeline but obviously after finding Ciri.

Neat, thanks.

 

I'm actually on that quest, just haven't dove into it yet because I'm doing Hearts of Stone first.

I suggest u wait Tommy and see for yourself because it's really very sweet specially what he said about triss.

Spoiler

it happens after you steal horses for Ciri's friends.

Incidentally, at the end of the game, is it like DAI, where the events have happened you're able to free roam, or does it dump you out at the penultimate mission, a la ME3?

 

Just curious. I started HoS last night, but I'm thinking about saving it for post game if there's a narratively sensible way of doing it.

[TmTapani]

ME3 I guess? There is supposedly a point of no return in the game but it could be that you are taken back to that point after finishing. Haven't experienced it myself and heard very little.

After the main story line, you're free to wander the land as you see fit. I'm currently playing through Hearts of Stone with a post-main-story save game. Side quests remain active post main story too.

That's good to know, thanks. I might save it, in that case.

 

So to clarify, after the main storyline, you're wandering around with the endgame events behind you. You're not popped back out into the world prior to the final mission (as with ME3, where you're post game saves load prior to the assault on cerberus' station).

[KBomb]

I am thinking of saving the dlc for later too. So far, it has been amazing, but I would like to be deeper into the story and it is bugging me that I'm not. I'd also like to raise my level some and get better gear.

Exactly.

Gah. Next time I'll do HoS before the battle of kaer morhan. The auction broke my heart.

I agree with this view of Geralt.  I remember in the first book how he talks about the time when he first started out on the Path.  How excited he was, how eager he was to do some good, and what happened the first time he rescued someone.  He definitely sounded, to me, like he was growing weary of the whole thing.  I can see how heading off to Kovir with Triss would be really appealing to him.

Hmm, how to answer that...

 

The end game events are definitely behind you. You don't go to some point that's like "And tomorrow we're gonna mess up Cronos Station". However, the area where a few devastating things happen during the endgame looks as it was before..though that might be a technical thing. At least one event happening during the main story is recognized by the Hearts of Stone dialogue, so overall I'd say yep, you're definitely in a post-main-story state.

I don't know what this means, but I think I know when to restart the dlc. I don't like heart breaking.

Does he die like a witcher?

No, he died like a hero.

Don't know what this means either, but it sounds like it could lead to some sadness. I am torn between wanting to avoid it and wanting to see it.
