I can see the appeal of remaking the potions for realism sake, but man farming nekker hearts and troll livers for hours doesn't sound very fun to me. Why stop at just suggesting potion no auto fill? Why not have swords have to be remade after so many repairs?

Ugh on this alt outfit. Its hard to take her seriously with her belly shirt.

--You can turn off the "?" that appear to make exploration more organic. Thus, you will find discoveries on your own and its more exciting. The downside to this is missing out on part of a upgradable item - if you don't find the base potion to make for example, Black Blood, finding Enhanced...

None of the people in distress have a rare gwent card. If you can play him, it would just be like playing a random shopkeeper, which there is more available than cards they can give you.

This also happened to me. I fell off the 'path' on Path of Warriors and just started exploring these ruins. Dunno if its a bug, but I got tired of hashing it out, I had to reload earlier save.

I wasn't torn up about it. Ciri's jibe to me sounded a bit downplayed any playful, considering all he's done to find her, and picking up several accolades along the way potentially (I'm the fist fighting champion of the three reeeeaaalms). Ciri speaks quite fondly of her witcher family.

Currently in my Death March 2nd playthrough. If you have the emerald dust for the serpent swords, fine, but I was not so lucky in getting wraiths to drop them, and its far too pricey to consider buying. Griffin fight was tough for me with starter witcher silver. I was recommended to get the...

In dirty Velen, use Roach. Anywhere else, walk it.

I killed Saskia in W2, so I didn't miss her at all. And overall, still better than Mass Effect's trilogy.

I have only read "The Last Wish", but I found it helpful regarding the relationship with Yen, since just playing the previous games I wasn't able to get a handle on why he's smitten with a lady that kind of treats him like a servant.

Can you craft any other alchemy, oil/potions?

One of the most boring topics ever.

For a meta-game that is fairly polarizing in popularity(I'm the only one I know that likes Gwent), I'd say its best not to worry too much about its difficulty. Gwent can be rough to some in the beginning until you either figure out the manipulative situations (you were kind enough to point out)...
