    I was expecting a terrifying cry of "OOOOO LAAAAAHH" to burst out of nowhere the whole time I was in that red moss world.

    I really feel like that quest was a missed opportunity
    to tease the world of Cyberpunk 2077

    Or at least to show a crazily technologically advanced world and blow Geralt's mind

    It might've broken the fourth wall though, I guess? Alas

    Isle of Mists
    That scene with Geralt and Ciri on the Isle...

    Wow, so weird! It seems like there's a leak in my roof, and also like somehow despite there being a clear sky the rain is just pouring down onto my face! Imagine that! Ha! Ha ha!

    Just starting the siege but I have to leave the game for a few hours, agh.

    I've said it before and I'll say it every time that quest comes up

    Isle of Mists
    Geralt holding Ciri's body and rocking it back and forth is probably the most heart-breaking thing I've ever seen anyone do in a game

    I can free roam again! I got the master crafted cat set. Gonna finish off contracts and a bunch of question marks before diving into the end.

    Also rock trolls remain the best.

    I thought they did though?
    When Ciri was telling Geralt about Avallac'h taking her to a world where people had metal in their heads, fought from long distances with things like megascopes and travelled in flying ships.

    If you choose antagonizing dialogue options she can be meeeeeeeean

    Which may be surprising to those who mainly choose friendly and sometimes sexually suggestive dialogue
    Similar to how people who have a jovial chat with Keira and send her on her way to Kaer Morhen may be really startled that the other options are a) murder her and b) let her be burnt at the stake by Radovid

    To get her into a mood that antagonistic you have to start off by making a joke about how she's trying to blow up everyone, or else needle her about your relationship with Triss and then say you're not going to beg her forgiveness

    Your choices at that point, the beginning, are "Something wrong?" and "Calm down" - if you choose Calm Down she's pissed and the conversation is like 95% different

    It's kind of surprising how differently that conversation shakes out

    And how like 95% of the people who don't like Yen end up getting dropped in the lake

    Yeah I did that and nothing shows up at all. Ran around for like 5 minutes trying to find the trail. At least 1 other person has seen this on /r/witcher since 1.06 hit.

    Ah, that's rough.

    The next step is
    Talking to the villagers, in particular the herbalist. But if that isn't activating either, I guess you are indeed stuck

    It's not a very long quest and it doesn't have any far reaching consequences, if that's any consolation

    I'm not too worried, I have days of stuff to do before I start into Ugly Baby. I imagine 1.07 will be hitting soon with that DLC announced, maybe they fix it.

    My brother just finished the main Bloody Baron questline and he is freaking out at how much he's enjoying it

    His exact words were "How is it that the Bloody Baron is a character I care more about that anyone in any Dragon Age?" which from him is stupidly high praise

    It's so fun watching him go through it, and I got him to read Sword of Destiny this week so he's caught up on the most important story beats and he is at maximum hype

    I really hope future RPGs pick up on Witcher 3's quest design, cause goddamn, this game set a precedent. I haven't felt bored once while playing this game, and so far, i've probably clocked in about 70 hours. Everything I do in this game has heft to it and seems meaningful.

    Like could you imagine a Dragon Age game with Witcher 3's quest model? please Bioware, take note!

    So my point of reference for Geralt has always been Raylan Givens

    I have now heard some people compare him to Brock Samson

    and okay that's pretty apt too
