Here we go!

And I'm just about to dive back into the game until the season finale of Sons of Anarchy comes on in about 45 minutes!

See you at the Inn, Drac!

Hi

Way, way into chapter 3 and only just completed the "dog tallow" quest - but - managed it without killing any dogs, which was my aim !!

I am finding fighting on the side of "The Order" (the first time for me) to be very strange though and and it's really taking me quite a while to get used to it

Not that it's altering in any way my enjoyment of this superb game, of course ....

But what could ?? It's simply superb !!

Cheers.

Mad

Good for you trying that out, Mad!

Well I'm playing again for the umpteenth time and have finally learned how to get both Yaevinn's and Siegfried's quests in before the bank robbery in act III. In the past I was only able to squeeze either one or the other in because once you do the bank robbery both those quests are dead.

Just got to the bank, so now I have a decision to make. (Hmmm I really don't like that pompous *&%&*.)

I just finished the bank, oldman. And you're so right... I had to hold my nose to go with the Order. But I'm promised myself I was going to play the Order this time and so far I have managed to keep playing in spite of it. There is just so much else about this game that is great!

Just set my Witcher Christmas Card from last year as my wallpaper...

If you talk to someone and choose the wrong dialog option and they won't talk to you.

If you come back later or enough time passes, will they talk to you again?

Also, is there any way to make your alcohol intoxication go down/away aside from meditating? Sometimes your not close to anywhere to meditate.

Never ran into any choosing wrong option so you'd have to be more specific. Which person did you lose dialogue with?

As for intoxication, there is a potion called wives tears. There is a waitress in the New Narakort Inn that will give you the recipe or you can just make it yourself as shown here.

Thanks oldman.

Off of the top of my head, one example was the blacksmith near the inn in the outskirts.

I asked him about selling to the squirrels (I think that's what it was), then he wouldn't talk to me after.

Hi Templeton Peck

Some of the characters who "take offence" will speak to you again - after they've had a good night's sleep

Cheers.

Mad

Ah I'm feeling mighty lonely out here ... I've gone with the Order every time.
I just can't bring myself to side with the Squirrels, and I'm too cowardly to go neutral! Well, I do want to try neutral! Maybe I can do it this time (play #4)!
But the Squirrels seemed to be too violent and too rebellious, unmindful of consequences.

Maybe I should find a way to hook up with that Kikimore Queen - she's vicious!

Templeton, I found a couple minor characters that won't speak to you again if you say the wrong thing. One I recall was a merchant in chapter three. I think the main characters will respond to you again, although their response now may not be as helpful to you as before (such as if you accuse Vincent). If something is important to the main story line though, you'll get the conversation.

Aw Looney, don't be lonely! Maggie did that too (kept picking the Order). It's sure interesting to hear why people chose the side they did.

Thanks Mad & Nickie

Another question, I think something is glitched maybe? I went to Shani's house and her grandma keeps saying "welcome, make yourself at home" every time I try to talk to her, or even go near her.

Also, when I talked to Shani, she acted like I should have had trouble getting past her, but I didn't.

I also found 3 items related to her grandma, but they all went in my inventory as quest items? I don't know if that was supposed to happen or not?

Well, different things happen in every game, so I can't say if it's a glitch or not. The only time I think grandma said welcome to me is after I gave her money. But you don't need to talk to her. What items went into your inventory? I'm only aware of her diary, and that would be a quest item.

I got a diary, some alcohol and I think it was lard & something or other. They all went in as quest items.

I can't talk to grandma at all and this was the first time I went into the house.

I got 3 items of Grandma's go into my "quest" item storage too :

Diary, Lard & Pickles and Alcohol, or something like that

Huh. Well, she may change her attitute towards you in the future. Mad, there wasn't anything to do with the pickles and lard was there? Maybe a quest that got cut out of the final.

I had Granny's pickles and lard and some kind of liquor that "kicks like a mule" go into my quest items inventory too and never could figure out why as I've never needed them. She kept throwing me out until I game her money too. Then she always either welcomes me or is not there.

Drac-

You know I never found a quest or anything to do with the pickles and lard, but I stayed with the order, maybe that is why. Next time I am going to go with the squirrels, might be interesting. Drac, I found by giving granny 100 in gold she will not throw you out.

Take care

Hi nickie

No .... Squirrels or The Order .... I haven't ever found any quest that required Granny's goods

Cheers.

If you take the dwarf to Shani's party, he will ask for Pickles and Lard to eat as he is hungry. At least, he did for me.

Well yay L4L, for solving that! I never took the dwarf to the party. Pickles and lard???

Yep, didn't sound too appetizing to me either, but he liked it

Same thing happened to me L4L and the good part is Zolton doesn't charge to go to the party but he does ask for granny's pickles and lard. When I chose the prostitute Dandelion wanted granny's diary. I already had both quest items in my inventory taken prior to the party.

I also find the different songs dandelion sings quite amusing. I reloaded each save game to take all 3 to the party to see the different results. Shani gets jealous when the prostitute is chosen for the party. however its not worth the price she charges Geralt. She should be grateful she was invited.
