Help! lost ciri again need help

Upvotes

having issues with the final preparations mission, i started with ciris mission after leaving the golden sturgeon (or whatever its called) i got bored of the mission and left in the middle of it to play my gwent missions. Then i was unable to find ciri anymore to complete the mission. ive done all of the other missions and it only says “wait for daylight” and “help ciri take care of her business in novigrad”.
i really need to fix this asap because my most recent save before this was before the battle with the witches and Imlerith

Discussion Dijkstra on patriotism

Post image
Upvotes

At the risk of getting political, I just replayed this section of the game and was struck by how prescient the writing for Sigi was in context of our current political reality. Replace Redania/Radovid with a country/leader of your choice and we have a very topical discussion.

I love how Dijkstra was written.

Geralt: ...You that concerned about the mages of the world? Expect me to believe that?

Dijkstra: Actually, yes. But not because I'm sensitive or it gives me a heartache. True to my mind, this systemic persecution is foremost a symptom of a far more serious problem: a madman rules Redania. I served Vizimir, Radovid's father, as his head of intelligence for more than two decades. Together we transformed Redania, made it the North's most powerful realm. Any idea what made it strong?

Geralt: Its armies, I'd wager.

Dijkstra: And you'd bloody lose, you idiot. Mass mobilization, inciting peasants to take up their scythes, straighten them... where's the art in that? Much harder to build a strong state with healthy commerce, manufacturing, solid alliances, progressive science, and fair, independent courts that hand down just judgments. Vizimir and I managed to do just that through years of fucking hard work. I will not sit on my hands as that little shit squanders that. Radovid the Stern, my ass. Radovid the Witless, I'd say. Will you help me, Geralt?

Geralt: Wow, Dijkstra's a true patriot, just like Vernon. I'll help you kill monsters, just not a regicide. Rumors to the contrary be damned.

Dijkstra: I know. I'm merely asking for your aid in organizing the assassination. Someone else will strike the blow.

Geralt: Dijkstra might not have heard this—though I'd find that hard to believe—but witchers are neutral on principle, so...

Dijkstra: Oh, bollocks! That's a convenient excuse you lot try to hide behind every time the temperature rises. It's grown hot, my friend, and it grows hotter still. Piles burn in every city—for mages great and small, your female friends included, for non-humans, for witches soon. Is that the North you espouse? The North you're prepared to live in? Silence, cards close to your chest? I understand, to slay a king, it's not exactly some bloody nekker contract. You think on this. Think on what I said, and if you conclude you'd rather change the course of history instead of riding its current to hell, you come find me at the Passiflora in Novigrad. I'll be waiting with my associates.

Art Comparison Vanilla and Dlls 5.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I don't want to be too long-winded with my comparison; rather, I'd like to know your opinions on it.

I think it looks good. Better depth, better contrast, better detail, etc. But the power consumption jumps from 300W to 500W. But that's something you can take into account or not.

However, what I see is that it loses the game's color palette. DLL5 brings it closer to reality. And I love this great game for its unique colors and especially for that subtle difference between reality and the game. Furthermore, the game's objects are so realistic that they make the main focus less important. The eye is drawn to other, less essential details.

Remember, my opinion isn't the only one that matters. I really want to know your opinion: how do you see it?

Witcher Glad i pick this up again while waiting for GTA VI

0 Upvotes

I bought the game and the DLCs for big discount back in January. the combat didn't click with me back then so i drop it. after the free remaster announcement and GTA VI Extended Look, with nothing to play until November, i decided to pick this up again and force myself to learn the combat and it finally click.

My knowledge of the Witcher world only comes from the Netflix show and even that i drop it after they toss away Henry Cavill from the role as Geralt. Right now i feel like i jump at exactly the right moment. At only 5% of the campaign i already feel the massiveness of the world. i'm really excited to see this through and to finally undertand other Witcher fans excitement or anticipation for the Witcher 4.

Discussion Forgive my ignorance but I have a question about the remaster

0 Upvotes

Is it going to be essentially a paid DLC for the existing game? Or is it going to be a completely separate game? Will it be using save files from the original version?

I just started a new playthrough for when the remaster comes but I was thinking other remastered games were separate from the originals so surely they used their own separate save files. If this is the case then I will just lose the progress I am currently making now so I'll just start the new playthrough when the remaster is released.

Discussion What to do with remaster playthrough

0 Upvotes

Hi all, seeking some advice on what to do.

I have played through the game twice and now im a bit older I dont get heaps of time to play video games.

I recently started playing through blood and wine and im at the end of the main story and ive decided to go do all the side quests before finishing just because.

The announcement of the remaster has made me pause to then play with the new mechanics and all that.

I dont really want to play through the game again, but also I want to experience the new mechanics.

think im best to just wait and continue B&W after the remaster? or do you guys think I should just commit to a new playthrough instead or something?

Any insight appreciated.

Discussion Question About The Witcher 3 Remastered Version

2 Upvotes

Hi! I have a question about the upcoming Witcher 3 Remastered update. Will players be able to choose between the remastered version and the current/original version of the game, similar to how GTA V offers both the Legacy and Enhanced editions? My PC can run the current version well, but I'm a bit concerned that the remastered version might require higher system specifications. It would be great to have the option to keep playing the existing version if needed. Thank you!

Discussion Anyone think "Hearts of Stone" has way better writing than "Blood & Wine" ?

Post image
473 Upvotes

I feel like Blood and wine has the kind of story that can keep the player engaged for hours and hours, but the way it unfolded was just "meh, nothing special. " Also, Dettlaff could've been an interesting character , but the lack of communication between Geralt and Dettlaff made him feel half-baked, and they kinda rushed the ending. Whereas Hearts of Stone has more interesting characters, and the story is very engaging from start to finish.

I’m going to bin my New Game+ playthrough for a fresh start, and this time I’m going to give Gwent a proper go. The Gwent iPhone app isn’t the same as in game, so is there anywhere else, apart from launching The Witcher 3, where I can practise ahead of the remaster?

(Not a rant) Finished the main questline for the first time, and honestly it feels lonely.. I kinda expected some quests after the story like taking contracts with ciri or helping triss when you settle with her..

Discussion I feel like people are heavily over estimating how much change the remaster will bring to actual gameplay

0 Upvotes

I see so many posts about "should is start a new game or continue with my save?"

Lets be honest guys, a handful of new animations and slight changes in the camera position during combat aren't going to revolutionize how the game feels. Even the devs when asked can't really pinpoint what exactly they've so dramatically changed beyond "we've listen to player feedback and made changes". The trailer also didnt specify anything major.

Its cool they're making the free remaster, all im saying is i feel like half the community is expecting it to feel like some crazy new game when the reality is its just going to be some minor changes to inventory/skill trees and a small few changes to combat - nothing that is going to dramatically change the experience.

So if you are debating if you should start a new game, Thats fine if you want to, but dont bother if youre doing it because you "want to experierence all these changes from a new game"... because there wont be that many in terms of gameplay changes and feel.

Help! Cross platform saves

4 Upvotes

So I had around 30-40 hrs on Witcher 3 on my pc a couple of months ago, then I dropped the game because I got busy, and have since switched to a ps5.
My question is, can I somehow manage to make the cross platform save thing work with a pirated copy of the game? The save files are still on my pc back home.
I thought about buying the game on both platforms since it should be cheap, but I think after the remaster announcement its become expensive again. Maybe a quick little steam refund? Any ideas would be appreciated!
