Anyone know where I can get some meteorite ore? I ran all over Velen getting the Griffin Witcher schematics and found out I could only make the boots on account of not having enough skymetal. Also, something that annoyed me today: I spent hours looking for a pass to get across the Pontar and it turns out you can get one by doing a Witcher contract at the checkpoint. I was doing all kinds of coyote shit to get in and out of Oxenfurt. I even jumped off the bridge once.

I spent every last crown I earned from a Witcher Contract on Gwent cards, once. I guess Geralt's one of those Vin Diesel-esque badass nerds. Clint, regarding the monsters, freeze them or get that dragon card that can burn close combat cards when they reach 10 or more. relevant

I think I have 3 now. As for meteorite, I had enough for the whole set, but I'm darned if I know where I got it.

Today I found a Harry Potter Cameo and a 50 Shades of Gray Cameo! HP: HP: When you check in with Zoltan in Novigrad for the second time (when the bar looks OK, but is empty) he's trying to teach an owl to talk like a parrot. Says he found outside a mage's home that had been taken. 50 Shades: When seeking Dandelion, make sure to talk to Zoltan about each potential girlfriend. One of them wanted to put reins and a bridle on Dandelion, and wanted him to call her Anastasia (deliberately mispronounced) Vernon Roche: Also, how great was the intro to Roche's Camp? "We're Birdwatchers" "Uh huh, and how's the Hornbill doing this year?" "It's not. Hornbills aren't endemic to this area."
Also, note for any future Temerian Guerillas: maybe a sign saying "Temerian Partisan Camp" isn't as helpful as you think.
Did anyone find Ves and get her mission? I know she has one, just from the video for the Roche conversation, but I can't find her.

Post Dandelion Drama - The whole attack investigation storyline was kind of unnecessary in my opinion. An artificial stretching out of Novigrad that it really didn't bear graciously.

It did kind of annoy me, since I just wanted to finish the Cabaret sidequest so I could go to Skellige, and then that happened and I had to hang around for a good deal longer.
That said, it rained the entire time I did that quest, so it was a bit like a Witcher version of Se7en, which I was down for. Also I do have a soft spot for serial killer fiction, so there's that.
I pegged the coroner as a High Vampire almost immediately, though.

Yeah, nothing wrong with the quest itself, just the timing. Have Geralt brought in to a random character or someone else, I'm cool. To add it to the Dandelion saga was what annoyed me.
Fought the Chort today. That guy was tough. The Coroner... wasn't.

DLC I want:
Gwent Shop DLC. Skellige Deck for Gwent. More people to play Gwent. An expansion that's basically the plot of Casino Royale but with Gwent.

Isn't that sort of the High Stakes Quest? I'm stuck in the middle of that shit right now.
I've won 3 games (2 of which have to be done on the same save), and this goddam mother...fella now wants to have a BLEEPing fistfight over his loss. Have I mentioned how much I BLEEPing hate the fistfights?

You'll all be happy to know I got through that particular fist fight... and even the palio which I would like to declare is an unfair race. My horse has stamina issues but theirs don't? Not cool... Today, one of the new DLC's was Gwent! I was thrilled. Then I read this. We've been had! www.gosunoob.com/witcher-3/ballad-heroes-dlc-gwent-card-set/

If it makes you feel better, I also lost the Palio. And like when that random shieldmaiden beat me in a duel, I decided to Ironman it and just roll with the consequences. Stuff like that actually makes Geralt seem less invincible.

6 reloads later, I beat them. I may also have pushed them in the creek.
Dude, you should have reloaded. She was very friendly if you managed to beat her.
Found another Game of Thrones / Tyrion reference. There is a minor location with a nest of pirates on an old prison on a island in Skellige. Check out the cells there!

Finding Ciri: Whoa. I loved the way they did this scene. No Music, barely any sound, the raw emotion of Geralt's failure, and the joy of hope. Superbly written. Battle at Kaer Morhen: So predictable and yet so poignant. Vesemir's been the irascible Grandpa this whole time, so you just knew he might go at some point, but it still made me so sad!
Bonus, I got all the possible recruits, and they all saved each other a couple times (except for Hjalmar's soldiers...I've no idea how they died, but they kicked the bucket). Though Ves & Roche were NOT happy I recruited Letho. Phase 3: Where the hell is Geralt? We're trying to do final preparations and he's gone?
Said something about getting every last smuggler's cache in Skellige... Aside from the ridiculous fistfights (I tried the one in Novigrad again, level 28 to 14, and the guy took a third of my health in one punch), this is a pretty awesome game.
