Question that's not really a spoiler I think - since I'm gunning for the grandmaster gear, can I just go ahead and break down all my masterworked gear? Unless I missed something, it doesn't seem like it's a material for the grandmaster stuff.

Also also, I sold all my spare mutagens way before Blood and Wine. Wish I hadn't. I'm an idiot.

No, it's not required for the grandmaster gear, so you could probably break it all down. I haven't done a NG+ playthrough though so I don't know if the master gear is required for the first upgraded set in that mode.

As far as I know, it's a blank slate. You just get the base level diagrams same way you do in the normal game, and they're identical apart from being bumped up another 30 levels (don't know if that's changed with the new level cap though).
Holy crap do I ever have a reason to be interested in Fallout 4 again. This new contraptions DLC they're coming out with sound really cool. And we can build our own freaking Vaults. And run experiments on our Vault dwellers. Tell me that almost everyone who has ever played these games have not imagined the kinds of things they would do if ever given that opportunity. I know I have. *rubs hands with maniacal glee*
The new Skyrim remaster looks really lovely. And giving us mod support, that will be awesome to. That game still has my favorite ever musical intro to a game.
What I think has me most excited though from what I have heard about E3 though, is the footage I saw of Dishonored 2. It's really looking good.
I've actually been kinda disappointed with Fallout 4. All the settlement building and crafting stuff is nice, but the main story and setting aren't all that great, and it sucks that most of the DLC has focused on the former rather than the latter. There's been nothing approaching the quality of The Pitt or Old World Blues, just more gimmicks. I will agree with you about Dishonored 2, that looks awesome.
I am skeptical too. I am keeping an open mind and hoping they really looked at all of the feedback and absorbed it all. I hate to say it, but no matter what I see and like, I doubt it will be a day-one purchase. I will most likely wait for reviews and decide whether I want to buy it then or wait until the price drops. However, I am incredibly excited about Dishonored 2 and the new Walking Dead.
Agreed. Between Inquisition and ME3, Bioware games unfortunately aren't a pre-order purchase for me anymore, though I wish it were otherwise.

Gotcha covered on the Bioware titles, for if pre-orders are reportedly poor ones, easy enough to cancel well in advance. Thus far, no such problems.
I read this twice, and I can't figure out how it's relevant to anything at all, let alone the post you're responding to, aside from also containing the word "pre-order." Is the fact that you can cancel pre-orders on Bioware games also a feature? Should they include it in their advertising?

I junked my bear armor only to find that it's required for the grandmaster bear gear. But it's NOT required for the grandmaster wolf gear. Got to be a bug. Annoying.
A great 'critique' of B&W's main story.
Gotta say I pretty much agree with the narrators critique of B&W.
I had a bug in my playthrough where I couldn't complete the statue.
Still all in all I enjoyed it, but thought HoS was the better of the two.

No, you need the mastercrafted gear to upgrade the feline, ursine and griffin sets. The wolven grandmaster gear (and the manticore) is made from scratch tho.

Agree, HoS has the second best main story next to my favorite RPG of all time - Planescape: Torment. I agree with almost all points he made except the fist fight part. Come on, For Gwent!

I've got to admit those impromptu fist fights got a little frustrating for me. Although it's nice that the only thing that hurts is pride should we lose, but I gotta win 'em all. LOL.
That does remind me though - I got a PS: Torment play through to finish off. Before B&W arrived I'd just made it to the lower ward.

I want to strangle whoever devised the crafting system. I have to be doing it wrong because it took a bloody hour of fiddling in the menus to get my grandmaster Cat gear. This better f*cking be worth it. I can see how gear upgrades are meant to be a 'long game' kind of approach now, especially if you plan on playing the expansions in one ( insanely long) playthrough. And now I'm poor again. 
edit- wait, you can craft grandmaster wolf gear from scratch, without prior sets? This would be great.

Yep. Only the wolf gear, though. So I did that, and pulped my bear gear, and then lost an hour because I had to reload. It makes no sense.

Ahh crap man, I'm sorry. I only made the Wolven grandmaster gear so I figured they were all like that.
Meh, I got to say that I am one of the few nablets that actually liked ME3. Yes the endings could have been better handled than all 3 colors ends almost the same but I still choked. So it MEA is a pre-order for me. The series has not let me down yet unlike DA series. But... I am also going to be one of the few nablets that would pre-order the next DA "IF" there's going to be my first husbando which is Alistair.
Also nice video Pan!
I was disappointed in the endings beyond just the color schemes. I remember how in the first game Sovereign made the Reapers sound as if a puny human mind could not begin to comprehend their existence. Then in the end we find out they were created to kill organic life before it creates an AI that would then destroy all organic life. Uggh.

Yeah, there's more to ME3's issues than the ending: the general lack of single-player content, the lousy way they did side missions, the general lack of squadmates (you didn't get a Sentinel analogue unless Kaidan survived, and you didn't get a Vanguard analogy unless you were willing to shell out for first-day DLC), pretty much everything to do with the Jacob romance... It wasn't a terrible game, I had a decent amount of fun with it, and the multiplayer was surprisingly enjoyable, but let's not pretend that it was a perfect game aside from the last half-hour.
But getting back to Wild Hunt, did anyone else really love the Novigrad quest "The Play's the Thing"? Besides being really funny and quite unlike what we get in most RPGs, I loved how it served to further flesh out the setting of Novigrad, and illustrate how far the Eternal Fire's influence is being felt over the common folk. It's a nice little world-building bit as much as it is a chance for Geralt to win a Razzie 
Slimgrim pointed me here. Said this was a thing. Is this a thing?
Lol, notice how nobody is saying, "Be more like DAI...."

Yeah, that was a major let down. BW should have kept the Reaper's agenda a secret and just never resolve it. If it's meant for humans to never understand then it would have had a larger impact if was left open.

I took that play so freaking seriously. I learned the lines and everything cause I didn't want Geralt to screw up. 
I loved those little quests the most because of how it gave us some insight into the mindset of the common folk. Another quest that did that was in the Tavern while listening to Priscilla's song. After the old woman accused Geralt of being a killer, no one wanted to hear it because they were just tired and wanted to relax and enjoy some music. Those small details are what helps create a living world.
In order to commemorate the 600th page of this fine thread, I wanted to do something special.
So, here's a picture of the new drain catch that I bought today for my kitchen sink. I think it looks like Vesemir's hat.
What do you guys think?
