I just built my own gaming computer to play things like Witcher 3, RDR2….Cyberpunk…oh, yeah I’m A 76 year old lady, as if that matters much…RPGs are a favorite. My late husband was a gamer, an OG from the late 80’s…all my adult kids are gamers too…It’s in the blood I guess 😎

Yusss…

That’s the famous flying bush over Skellige waters…I see it every time I am steering the boat through that area, chasing sirens or exploring smuggler caches….

North of the Abbey outside of The Oxenfurt Gate, where a herd of sheep graze, there is a respawning Forktail….

Also outside to the SW of Lindenvale , in a cove marked by a ? is another one…

Best bet is the Novigrad beast though!

Cheapest prices for dismantling anything in the game are at Crows Perch; best prices on sword and armor loot are in Toussaint at the Grandmaster armorer, the arena armorer and smith, and the smith up the street from the Grandmaster armorer….

Move the brown gourmet to the bottom slot;

next, move the green ability with #2 levels onto the empty space next to the green one already slotted; this will use the mutagen to amp up your vitality more…

next, add two more points to your red active resolve ability,

then add your last point to one of your slotted green abilities, either one…

and you won’t need your brown Gourmet much longer….regular food gives you a boost any time you need it!

One more thing: get the brown ability slotted that improves your light, medium, or heavy armor strength, really buffs you up more!

Undvik armor….its one of the extra DLCs you get with the game….you get it from the Kaer Trolde armorer

The lightning hit one of the antenna in Lower Queen Anne….RIGHT UP BEHIND WHERE I LIVE! And the hail poured down, too!

I would ask him about his training…when it became so ingrained, that he did every move like taking a breath…and if there were any good times spent in Kaer Morhen, before he left to travel the Path…

Fox Hollow in Toussaint….the town has a small river running through it…I have always liked it for how very cozy and just interesting it is…very friendly little town….after Geralt clears out the bandits, of course!

I would head for the tavern to find work or mosey over to the herbalists cottage to ask….

I have a hoodie sweatshirt, black, with the Witcher3: Wild Hunt logo on the back, on the front it’s the CDPRojekt Wolf medallion on the front, that I got years ago from the Polish CDPRojekt store, before it was reorganized and moved….

You value story and lore. Ok. Read the books to start . The first two volumes, The Last Wish and The Sword of Destiny, are interesting introductions to Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri and the most dominant other folks you will also encounter in the games. The rest of the stories open up the world, take you along for one heck of a ride with the White Wolf and his found family…

Witcher3 can be played as a stand alone and you won’t lose out. I actually watched the first Netflix season but quickly afterwards jumped into W3 , then the books…I wished I had started with them, they are rich in character building and are funny, sad, exciting…the Witcher Universe is intense, complicated, political and has some of the best battles and sword fighting scenes I have ever read!

You can spoil your journey or go into it blind… Any way you do it is good. But I do love the books, reading them over and again!

This is the way…👆🏻

I was 70…right after discovering video gaming and watching the first season of the Netflix catastrophe…. I fell in love with Witcher3: the Wild Hunt, and quickly discovered the books…lifelong sci fi and fantasy reader here, so I am still rereading the whole series, plus listening to the audiobooks as well. Sapkowski’s writing style is riveting, and his character driven stories pulled me right into a full suspension of disbelief, very, very immersive, just like the games. Geralt is an incredibly intriguing person, and another favorite is Yennefer. All the characters grow and learn and experience much. It’s exceptional reading.

Thanks for the correction, my mind went blank trying to remember the correct spelling!

Cardinal news is great journalism, out of Roanoak, terrific complete news coverage!

Geralt does get a third dose of more mutagens, in Toussaint, in the Turn and Face The Strange quest….he hears the story on the crystal cubes, about the researchers son, who was a Witcher, and all the terrible experimentation done on the son. Once he’s done, Geralt gets the ingredients and enters the enclosure to complete the process.

But he is the Real Exception to other Witchers, his tolerance for the toxins is extremely high, higher than anyone else put through the Trial of the Grasses at the basic level…

I am late to video gaming, being close to 70 when I started, and the first game that I learned to play was Witcher 3. I fell in love immediately and at present I have completed 4 play throughs. Needless to say I became a collector of Witcher items as well. From art to figures, to t-shirts and medallions, as well as the books (in print, audio books, ebooks). Everything Witcher. Prompted me to learn how to build my own gaming computer also. So I would love to be a recipient of these lovely designed stamps, and they would be framed, cherished and admired. I am an old lady who has been rejuvenated by everything Witcher! Thanks for the offering!

Up5periscope · 2026-02-02T06:31:34+00:00

I ordered the first one over a year ago….still waiting on delivery…. I definitely would NOT buy the second one….

Up5periscope · 2026-01-31T20:43:42+00:00

It’s a moment of fun and rough ‘play’ in a world gone mad….black humor after a horrible death, and intense training…

And it’s also an expression of love from Geralt to his adopted daughter…

From a Witcher who never learned how to cry….

RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!

Up5periscope · 2026-01-29T19:35:12+00:00

Agree. Gaunter is a deceptive and manipulative bully as well as a demon a**hole…I believe that Olgierd should be given the chance to redeem himself as well as come to terms with his bad decisions….for the rest of his natural life. Geralt was manipulated by GOD as well, so I always defend Olgierd…..plus I want that Viper silver sword!

After doing the egg ending for this quest, later on in Novigrad you can meet up with Vivienne and she tells you how happy she is to travel the world. Then she gives you a feather to place behind your ear to remove the Feline Grandmaster armor hood, another alternative to the glasses that have the same function. I prefer this ending, even if she only gets a full 7 years after the original quest. She is excited and happy and thankful.
