Man, this is beautiful. Are the islands easy to get to? I'd love to visit.

It's making the In Wolf's Clothing side quest impossible, and to be honest I'm not sure I want to continue at all in case there's any underwater section in future main quests (My next main quest is to head to isle of Mists, so got all of Act IV to go, plus the two expansions). Really frustrating. Sounds like it got introduced with the 4.0.3 patch in May.

That sounds like a really annoying bug, hopefully it'll be patched out soon! As for underwater sections, I don't think there is any mandatory ones in the DLC from what I can remember, what are you playing on? Switch?

Series X. I've seen some people say that they fixed it by switching back to Geralt's default hair and beard, but I've never changed mine. I know the beard grows so I shaved that back to the original one but no joy.

From Ofier's Distant Shores - Fixed an issue where the diagram in the chest at the bandit's hideout could be missing.
Hard Times - Fixed an issue where Geralt couldn't talk or give the letter to the blacksmith.
Echoes of the Past - Fixed an issue where, after defeating the foglets, the quest could get stuck and it wouldn't be possible to talk to Yennefer.
Wine Wars- Fixed an issue where the quest couldn't be completed if the player destroyed one of the required monster nests during exploration.
Fixed an issue where the Grandmaster Wolven Set wouldn't require Mastercrafted items.
Various small fixes to quests and cutscenes.

I first encountered it during a side quest, and waited for the patch (which listed it as a fix), but upon resuming, I still had it. So that side quest got abandoned and I continued with the main quest. Just come across a situation where I have to dive into an underwater cave and thought oh great, but my breath has returned! Now to finish this off before Starfield. Not going to have time for the DLC expansions, but I can come back to them later.

GrinWithoutaKat wrote:After more than 8 months, the credits roll! At times, the run to the end felt a bit of a slog, but probably my own fault as I looked up the quest names on IGN's walkthrough and saw I only had three quests left. Of course, two of those quests actually involve needing to complete about five other quests so I was a lot further from the end than I thought I was. Definitely ended up more invested in these characters than I'd realised too. I certainly didn't get the best ending I could have, messed up a few things, but was very happy with the one I got right.
