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.

It is a small scene but straight to the heart.

wedding

. That was one of the best quest I ever played.

Btw, Shani is awesome. Never particulary liked her in Witcher 1, but in Witcher 3 I wished she would have been a a fully viable romance option like Triss and Yen. Tbh I like her much more than Yen and find her more interesting than Triss.

The writing is excellent as always. The two main characters are fascinating.

Very satisified with the dlc so far (+- 5 hours)

That was indeed very sad and it came out of nowhere. I absolutely love all the references to the rest of the game and to Witcher 1 and 2. This whole dlc seems to be more addressed to the "hardcore fans" (the ones who played witcher 1 especially), while the base game felt rather standalone.

The wedding is hands down best quest in TW3 so far. p.s processed Geralt is so awesome!

He looked like a grinning dork the whole way.

the ghost was soo charming and endearing that I kinda wished he got laid. But maybe i missed an option for that. Or Shianni fell into his net. But alas she's too smart and only got eyes for my Geralt. I don't.know why as he's been treating her like a sister the whole time.

I hope bioware will write something as light-hearted as that. Mark of the Assassins was close-ish tho. I enjoyed the party.

Indeed. I would rank it as my third favourite quest in the game after the Battle of Kaer Morhen and the Ladies of the Wood.

I just wonder if

Vlodimir's behaviour towards Shani changes depending on if you told him that Shani is only a friend or if there is more. I told him that she is only a friend and he flirted with her during the whole wedding, which was hilarous. Shani's responses were adorable.

Deep down Voldinir is a decent lad, and the party is the most humane moment in the entire game. basically he is the totally opposite of true Geralt but still has the heart of gold. as for Shani, she might enjoy the dorky Geralt more:)

That really depends on the character which CDPR is really top notch at the moment.

I went through Hearts of Stone in two looong afternoons of about six to seven hours each.  It's such a great bang for the buck. It had a bit of everything - funny, spooky, thoughtful, all with some well placed sprinkles of action. Like the main game, I couldn't help but feel how much effort was put into it, and I thoroughly admired its writing. Seeing Shani again was the icing on the cake.

 

The new craftsman and sidequest were also very welcome additions, but they kinda pale next to Hearts of Stone's main story line.

 

To think that this is the smaller of the two expansions...

Yes can't wait for Toussaint now! CDPR has done wonders with Shani and all original characters (man of glass is such a badass) in this "teasing" expansion, can't image what they would achieve with proper new area with awesome characters like Fringilla and possible Regis ' "friend".

Any one took the rose from Iris? I could not do it, so I take Iris's painting and carry "her rose" to her love.

That quest makes me mega sad to see a lovely couple's marriage dead in front of me.

Is the new crafter worthwhile? I'm reading it's a 30k gold investment to get him going. I've got a hair under 50k to my name, and that's only because i've been buying a ton of mats to craft my outstanding formulae.

Ooh, i like what you are saying. Stuff like that might make me want to buy it eventually. One of my biggest gripes with TW3 is how little it connected with the two earlier games. I didn't expect a huge save import or anything like that, just wanted them to be more tied into the overall story arc of 3.

yeessss it's so worth it. It's the only one that saved my ass from the caretaker. He's so borking hard. Make sure you got some money left for the auction though. Anyway you can earn some of that money back there too

I never got around to buying any of the new upgrades - despite spending all the money to fully upgrade the runesmith. I just always had to see the next story segment instead of messing around with my gear. 

 

In the end I used the "acquired tolerance" perk to get my poison tolerance to somewhere in the higher 200s, gulped down three or four concoctions and went in as some kind of alchemical super mutant.

It's about Vesemir, isn't it? Yeah, I am definitely playing before Kaer Morhen. His death was so heartbreaking. I am not a crier, but that scene had the water works going. Ciri and Geralt were so pitiful.

I have about an hour or two left of quests I want to wrap up before getting back into HoS, but it's a constant effort in will power. Especially after reading all the praise here.

I did

[Onecrazymonkey1]

Spoiler

I took her rose as well. I felt that it would be more of a torture for her to keep reliving her sadness. There also seemed to be no guarantee that she would cease to exist; it just seemed like speculation to me at that point. I also remember Geralt saying that "she was only a danger for people who decided to enter the house" and I thought that was also too much of a risk honestly. Maybe I heard wrong though? so feel free to correct me If I am.

Also..... I might be a sucker but I felt pretty bad for the bound demons. the whole situation just felt too unnatural to go on.

Great expansion though! Maybe I'll write some more coherent thoughts when I'm not on my phone

what happen to Iris then? In my ending. She lives in her painting to see her love.

Ha that's why they most likely appeared as a cute puppy and kitty; to trick people like me! but then I figured that if they were evil I wouldn't sweat it because they would probably be small potatoes for my Geralt.....and just in case you didn't finish the expansion.

 

Spoiler

I did have Geralt outsmart the Witcher worlds version of the devil after all

 

as for what happens to Iris, jump to 12:24 of the video.

I have to tip my hat to CDPR again, HOS really sets the new standard for pay expansion, as TW 3 does for RPGs.
