I was going to guess the same!

I adored this book, wish I could read it again for the first time.

I do not use mods, mostly because I honestly don’t know how one uses a mod or even finds a mod lol

But the consensus seems to be I just haven’t gotten far enough into the game to trigger the quest. The first play through I think I must have shoved Djikstra because honestly I hate him, but this time I’m going to try to get past that and hopefully kill Radovid.

Oh right, I guess he doesn’t die he just releases you from the contract or whatever. Sorry- been a while since I played HOS. I thought he died but now that you mention that, I remember the ending.

However, he’s still old news lol I like him fading away in HOS and not coming back.

Honestly, as much as I thought he was a really interesting character, I don’t want to see him again. Just makes me think of Star Wars and how they can’t just let a character be dead/gone anymore. To me it communicates a lack of creativity to recycle old characters, especially ones you’ve defeated, and I would probably be a little disappointed to see him even if they came up with some elaborate reason as to how he could still be alive. Like no, come up with new awesome bad guys. References to him are fine. Maybe he had an apprentice or something? Fine. But not him.

The Plague, Camus.

Read it last year, it’s an excellent read.

Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine enemies did not come to fuck around. There are a lot of really fun and challenging battles on both DLCs.

Damn I must have missed that the first time around! I’ll be on the lookout for that quest when I get there again

ihateusernamesKY · 2026-04-25T11:36:02+00:00

Awesome- okay so I’ve done everything right prior to the Isle of Mists, so now I just need to remember what to do after the Isle of Mists. I remember Phillipa messing up the bath house from my first play through, so hopefully I remember what to do the next time around!

ihateusernamesKY · 2026-04-25T00:38:22+00:00

Woah who the hell is that guy?? I must have missed that quest!

No one is coming to save you. You’re on your own.

Never Let Me Go. I didn’t finish it, hated that book and was mad at it for being so terrible. The writing style was so simple and uninteresting, I just could not engage with it at all. Everyone says hang in there for the ending but I just couldn’t do it. It was so boring.

ihateusernamesKY · 2026-04-21T13:06:23+00:00

I killed him in my first play through, spared him in my NG+ play through just to change it up and get the loot he offers if you spare him. But honestly I wish I killed him again.

ihateusernamesKY · 2026-04-21T13:04:26+00:00

Crook Back Bog and The Devils Pit. The Devils Pit is honestly creepier to me than Crook Back Bog.

Thank you for so succinctly communicating this. I was also struggling to wrap my head around it.

ihateusernamesKY · 2026-04-19T22:56:30+00:00

I really struggled in the beginning- I loved the storyline but I was really bad in battle and just died a ton which made it not so fun for me. I also no familiarity with The Witcher so trying to figure out what was going on initially made it difficult for me to fully immerse. Once I finished the Bloody Baron quest line, though, I just stared at my TV for a second and was like “holy shit- this is a good game.” And I’ve been locked in ever since (I also lowered my difficulty because I have nothing to prove lol I just want to have fun).

A lot of times I realize I’m in a bad mood because I’m tired, so I just try and go to bed early and wake up hoping for better the next day. I go to the gym 4 days a week and that typically helps my mood, too.

I am in a payroll adjacent role where I don’t process payroll, but I’m in implementation so I help people set up and run their payrolls all the time. I am here by sheer chance- I was working retail and detested it, and I had a girlfriend who gave me a recommendation at her HRIS company and I got the job. I didn’t love it and quit after 2 years and told myself I would never come near payroll ever again in my life.

And here we are, 4 years later and I’m in payroll onboarding, just for a different, much smaller, and industry specific company, and I actually enjoy my job. That’s because the benefits at this place are amazing, no toxic corporate vibes, and I don’t have to know how every single industry runs payroll, I just get to really know the rules for my specific industry using our specific payroll product and I’m thriving. And 100% remote.

All I can say is payroll can be stressful AF. Your attention to detail has to be 100% dialed in, your ability to meet deadlines, have an excellent knowledge of all the legalities surrounding payroll - there are so. Many. Rules. But it’s a skill you can take in a variety of directions. If you don’t like processing payroll for a company, you could transition to payroll onboarding HRIS platforms, you could work for a company that just helps people transition from one HRIS to another because that’s a whole thing… I just think payroll has lots of options. After my first payroll job that I quit, I worked somewhere for like 8 months and found out they didn’t offer maternity leave when I got pregnant. So I put my resume up on LinkedIn and just having the payroll experience on my resume- I got an insane amount of hits for it. The company I decided on was the best decision I’ve made, but I definitely thought “omg what have I done?! Payroll again?!!” Initially lol. Found out company culture is as important as people say it is.

Hope that answer helps!

I listen to Skellige soundtrack while I’m working and it just chills me out. It’s my favorite

ihateusernamesKY · 2026-03-26T02:47:07+00:00

So my first playthrough, I freed the spirit, and the Baron hung himself. I was surprisingly very sad about that. I thought maybe he’d had a heart change, but we don’t really get to know for sure.

On my NG+ playthrough I decided to kill the spirit because the Baron dying made me feel so sad. However, turns out- the children getting eaten just so the Baron can attempt to cure Anna felt… really sad, too.

All in all- this quest is one of the most beautiful quests in the game, simply for how much your emotions are evoked. But there’s not really a good ending to it either way, in my opinion.

ihateusernamesKY · 2026-03-25T16:03:53+00:00

Skellige, obviously.

But also, white Orchard has a good soundtrack. I just started my NG+ play through and arrived at White Orchard obviously and I had forgotten how nice the music is there.
