Thought the interview with Cavill was the most interesting part. Seems really passionate about the whole universe, and knows what he's talking about - a genuine fan.

I keep hearing that some people disliked the show, but I actually rather liked it. So far anyway. Look forward to season 2. And keep hoping they won't "GOT" it up. But for now it's been good, and hopefully they learn from what mistakes were made and improve on it, instead of crapping all over the rest like a certain other series did.

I too look forward to seeing Vesemir in the show, and hopefully they do him justice.

Yeah, the interview was interesting. I think the show could be better in some ways, but in general they are doing a good job.

There is also animated film about Vesemir and sacking of Kaer Morhen coming out in August - Nightmare of the Wolf.

Don't know about you, but I wouldn't feel safe here with no railings or anything, and the wind biting in my shoulders


(I hadn't noticed this path before)

Hopefully Geralt has Aard at the ready, because this could quickly get out of control




This one wasn't that well-hidden to be honest, but I've never come across it before. Think it even showed up in the journal.



I'm sure there must be different ways of handling it, but I ended up killing the bloke inside.

Yeah, the best way to handle it is not to open it the second time.

Quoting: ShmerlYeah, the best way to handle it is not to open it the second time.

Nice. Just by waiting then? I just had an "open sarcophagus" or "exit/do nothing" conversation option.
Oh well, something to do for a next playthrough, if I do yet another one. For now I want to do the expansions again, as I've only played them once.


Don't mess with Geralt, or he'll turn you into his favourite race: dwarves.




Also, we're working on Roach's stairs descending ability


(this was Holmstein or some place like that, and we walked down a bunch of stairs.)

I'm trying to learn Roach how to walk down more stairs. Sadly she completely locked up here






With Roach refusing to carry me down that long, winding path, let's change strategy. Let's skinny-dip!



I died about 8 times, but finally.... success!

Unfortunately I can't turn the camera up when in the water, but that's a loooong way up!

I see you went with Cat school armor this time.

Quoting: ShmerlI see you went with Cat school armor this time.

I like how it looks. Plus, it goes well with Ghost Mode with how I like to play the game, because in Ghost Mode all combat actions have a stamina cost (surely intended for vanilla too, but they dropped it at some point, it's half-implemented for enemies). Light armour has lower stamina costs, so then I'm able to dodge and cast the odd sign while using Cat armour, while with Medium weight and especially Heavy weight, this would be a big problem. When you run out of stamina, Geralt will struggle to move, and you are more vulnerable to attacks. This aspect is one of the big changes with the mod, and it took a little getting used to, but it makes for a more realistic and fun combat experience now when I'm used to it. With the vanilla game, apart from looks, you're kinda incentivised to go with Heavy armour, because it has better protection, with no real downsides. But when the game has stamina costs for combat actions, this suddenly is a factor to consider, and the game is probably turned on its head in a way, by incentivising Light armour instead.

It's a funny old game. I keep coming across small things here and there that I haven't seen before, or only rarely. Like currently, I want to do the Cery quest, but it's on the other side of the world. The marker shows 3000-something to travel by boat.... So I stop here and there on the way, probably going ashore to small islands I've never set foot on before. And I really did explore thoroughly before too, it's just that the game world is MASSIVE, and they've left small bits and pieces everywhere. Truly a labour of love, despite all the faults with CDPR and its development process, crunch forever and so on.

Quoting: MohandevirThe last run I did was a couple of months ago... I paid special attention to that shadow... When Udalryk raises his arms, while speaking to you, you should see the Hym doing the same, on the wall behind him, but no, it wasn't there. Anyway, it might be a problem depending on the Proton version used... I think I'll create a save point at this special spot and test different versions of Proton. Who knows, it might be solved with the latest builds?

Remembered there was a discussion about that shadow, and I recently played that section. Took some pictures that showed the Hym. Now I see you meant during conversation when Udalryk raises his arms, however. The room is very dark here because all lights and candles are off, so it's possible I missed it, but more likely there wasn't a Hym shadow during that particular sequence.

Unless it's this one? Think this was while talking to Udalryk, but I'm not entirely sure as you can't really tell what persons are part of the screen.
