arroia

Enjoy!  I got 36 hours in the first 5 days, but only 5 more hours in two nights this week.  So glad I used the vacation days last week and that there haven't been any serious bugs, aside from having to research the Steam launch problem and delete a file in my Steam directory to get it to start in the first place.  Very few minor bugs, too.  I'm happy with it, but I think Witcher 3 will be my game of the year.  Fallout 4 is more my style, but Witcher 3 was a really amazing game.  I might even put Pillars of Eternity in 2nd place.  It's been a good gaming year for me.

Have you yet to come up for air? If FALLOUT be the food, then play on. 😉

Arroia is in hermit gaming mode? :3 haha

The Game all that you hoped that it would be?

185 hours and I have no more question marks, except for the arch griffin that is still two hit killing me at level 39.  I saw something about it being the highest level monster in the game (was either 46 or 48).  I'm not sure there is enough left for me to wander around randomly trying to gain another 7 to 9 levels.  :/ 

I've finished the fighting quests and two of the riding quests (Skellige and Novigrad, don't know if there are others), though lost in the final race in Novigrad.  The dwarf was not happy.  Neither was I, because I happened to misread which path I needed to take at the first Y about 8 seconds into the race and ran into a barrier trying to turn back at the last second and it ended the race right there.  None of the others were that harsh.  I've wandered the wide marker-less areas and found a couple of missed points of interest in Velen.  I found 6th level and 16th level quests I had missed earlier.  I'm maybe halfway through level 40.  Maybe I can go back and look for areas I missed in Skellige.  I was disappointed to find the really pretty siren-like things have implants when one of them just happened to land tits up next to my boat.  Oh, and the whale is a lie.

The armor in Witcher 3 with 100% protection against poison is fantastic.

If you haven't already done so, there are good reviews of Birding binoculars on the Audubon Society website; break down by price ( US $ ). Hope the info helps you. 

So now you know what Periscope is.  Enjoyed listening to the replays.  The Dragon looks great and so healthy.  

They've done things with it, but not all improvements.  Deathclaws should not be able to get into the vault.  Just sayin'.  You need to have your highest level folks with the best stats, weapons, and armor in the upper rooms and you will probably need to actively heal them during the fights to keep them alive.  They used to get through to the last of the rooms on my second level, but now they are only getting to the second to last room.  But, I still need to move better dwellers up to my second room.  I made the mistake of making it living quarters in the beginning, so have to keep it all one sex to avoid pregnancies.  The pregnant dwellers just run from fights, so are useless there.

happy holiday

I don't understand how you score points in the birdwatching game.  :p

Monday does that unfortunate dilemma.  Thankfully my own week is looking fairly pleasant as I am taking a 4 day weekend beginning on Thursday.

Cute!

good lord that's epic

Where's this year gone? Seemed like yesterday you showed it first time...

perfection missed.

As they say: "Get all dressed up and go nowhere". I hope that you enjoyed the sense of occasion. ;p

Good to hear Moses is fine now.  Yeah, I slept around in 1 and 2, but once I knew there was something specific with Yen I've remained faithful.  That is, until I discovered what a cold-hearted asshole she is.  And that's coming from a witcher.  I'm open to playing the field now, I think.  I was interested in Cerys (I don't care h0w young she is compared to me), but haven't gotten the option yet.  And it sounds like folks were disappointed with the romance options with Triss, so the designers are working to fix something with that in an upcoming patch.  Did you complete the main quest line yet?

Oh, another bug seems to be that there are times where I am getting hit during a fight, but not taking damage.  I'm not complaining.  I haven't found any consistency with it, though.  I'm currently experimenting with the apparent bug that grants 100% of whatever sword bonus you have (stun, stagger, burn, freeze) if it's already at 10% by default and you put a 2% poison rune and then a 3% poison rune in the available slots.  I've only tried it a couple of times, but I think it may work.  If it ends up being that easy, I'll probably go back to something more challenging.  But, I'll keep that holstered for life or death situations.

A photo that could even make Monday better.

The usurped queen of the universe should always be obeyed! So happy you acquiesced!

No blame there.
