You're well beyond half way, but still have around 12 missions before the end.

Click right thumbstick. (If you press it out of combat it will switch off/on the mission 'breadcrumb trail' feature on the minimap.)

I really hope this is an advert for a Gwent game taking up space usually reserved for the biggest AAA game of E3. :lol:

What that actually does is change between primary mission objective trail and optional mission objective trail. Er, it may also switch it off if there's only one objective, I'm not sure. :lol:

Finished the main game, finally!

As was pointed out to me last night though (glowers at SoK), I still have millions to see, even before getting the DLC. It was good, really good, but I think I'll leave it for a while before going back to it.

With regards to *ahem* "companionship", I should have realised that enjoying the company of both Triss and Yen would have had consequences. I ended up being left chained to a bed and thoroughly embarrassed after unlocking a quest that seemed to promise a very different conclusion... :oops:

A price worth paying to see them together in a state of semi-undress. :toot:

Felt bad about killing a side mission monster last night, but ended it feeling worse when I decided to go look for a lady who wasn't marked on the map, nor the quest log after handing in a mission to her husband. (Who was a total bag of dicks and I wanted to kill many times over.)

Gwent needed to be changed for a multiplayer environment. I'm pretty sure I remember an interview where even the lead designer of it said that the game wasn't good enough as it is to work with other people.

Impressive work. I had not realised how massive a challenge this quest is. But I'm loving it.

Ta :)

You'll win the majority of them by playing people you'd interact with anyway, such as mission NPCs and vendors. But it's worth noting that the two cards I was missing had to be purchased from a vendor. So they are easy to miss given how many out of the way villages and vendors there are in the game.

The site I used to check which cards I was missing: http://gwent-cards.com/ (a bit laborious but worth it, imo.)

Started game on death march setting. Won't see it out (should hopefully start Dragon Age: Inquisition expansions on Friday or Saturday) but it's nice to have the reminder of how much the game can kick your arse early on. (Not that I needed to start on hardest difficulty to get the reminder. :slol:)

I slowly nudged it up to Death March over the course of the campaign but the expansions are much, much harder. There's a fight early on in Hearts of Stone where I actually had to push it down to the easiest setting. Didn't help that the aurosave was before a long dialogue scene.

But yes, I finished the campaign, finally. I think it's fair to say this is one of, if not the, greatest RPG ever made. There are flaws for sure, but the story, characters, world and presentation (not to mention Gwent) are strawberry floating phenomenal from start to finish. I have absolutely no appetite for Mass Effect Andromeda or the new Fallout 4 nonsense Bethesda are pushing, simply because I know there's no way they can rival this.

Cyberpunk has a huge set of shoes to fill.

Credits for main campaign rolling as I write. Stunning game, the second DLC awaits but I'm going to be sad when that's over. One of my favourite games of all time.

gooseberry fool. I forgot to say, finished Blood and Wine and loved it.

My favourite aspect was how the main story within it concluded on a very grounded, everyday element. The big, suspenseful, omg-everyone-in-local-proximity-is-dooooooooomed!!! element was there too, and I enjoyed it, but I enjoyed the small scale end to it. As for the final scene before the credits rolled... :wub: :cry:

Last thing: Hearts of Stone dialogue :wub: That gooseberry fool was so good. Best VA performaces in the whole series, imo.
