Just travelled to Skellige (now at lvl 12) to find this merchant:

Mother tucker wasn't selling any meteorite ore. Bloody waste!! Back to Velen I go. Still haven't come across any vendors selling it throughout Velen yet

I just walked into the armourer in oxenfurt. He's got meteorite ore and ingots/plates which you can buy and dismantle into ore.

Maybe try Novigrad as well, or the dwarven smithy at Crow's Perch (Bloody Baron's place). Also try a few Contracts, the weapons the monsters drop relic weapons that usually can be dismantled into rare items.

I'd say their merchandise is random enough, so keep trying.

Tried all the above suggestions. Unfortunately nada. I'll keep trekking on and loot as I go. At this rate, I'm nearly level 15, will need to look at upgrading my Griffin armour to the next level.

It's strange that the ore isn't appearing anywhere. At first I thought that maybe I needed to be level 11 (the required level to equip the Griffin gear) and that I might start seeing more drops.

Seems to be a common problem when searching online for answers.

Are there any weapons in particular that dismantle into meteorite ore or ingots?

sheep? · 22-11-2015 10:02pm

I can't think of any off the top of my head man, sorry. Yellow and brown weapons/aromour (as in the backdrop colour of the item) tend to dismantle into good stuff. And remember, the things they dismabtle into might be able to dismantle into the items you want. I just did a round of question mark hunting in velen and raided a few bandit camps. They had a few meteorite ores. A bit of looting might be in order for you! It sucks when one ingredient is stopping you get the armour. (And it is deadly armour if you're going with a focus on signs).

On a side note, I love how this game is surprising me on a second play through. On the Reardon Manor quest in Velen:

I didn't know there was a hidden entrance to a cellar below the barn, where you can discover the woman, Dolores's dead brother walled up by Roderick, her husband. Yikes!

FINALLY!! Found meteorite ingot. Completely stumbled across it by chance during a main quest. Just finished crafting my armour. Have the full Griffin set now!!

I've just started Hearts of Stone on my new game plus deathmarch run. Is it just me or did they really up the difficulty for the expansion? Some of the fights are extremely hard, even though I'm at an equal level to most of the enemies.

Yes, I too found that, especially the

Prince / Toad fight

. And I was a couple of levels above that boss going into it, along with some pretty serious gear.

Saying that, I'm not complaining as the only challenge I found at the end of my run before the expansion was that level 46 Arch Griffin. So its refreshing to have to think about each battle again.

It's not, it's labelled as being Hearts of Stone.

Except the text description is for Submerged, which doesn't exactly scream professional to me.

sheep? · 23-11-2015 4:59pm

That's just the first full DLC Hearts of Stone, sorry mate!

That's the wrong CD Keys. I've never seen that one before.

Look at www.cdkeys.com

Absolutely.

Thargor · 27-11-2015 3:19pm

I played the first 2 and honestly had no idea what was happening when I started this game, who/what was Ciri and where did she come from and all that, it was like they pretended the first couple of games had never happened except for a few references I barely remembered.

I played 2 right before 3, there is definitely zero mention of Ciri in 2.

Yennifer isn't even in the second game. Geralt spends a lot of the second game suffering from amnesia so don't worry.

You can import your W2 save game, on PC at least, and this will determine how some characters respond to you. Also in my play through of W2 I ended up getting Geralt blind drunk with some solders and waking up naked with a tattoo. He's still got in it W3!

Yennifer is in W2 in terms of the plot. You are trying to find her for the entire game. She mentioned an awful lot.

It was bizarre at the start of W3 when you find her and then just leave straight away. I had just spent 30 odd hours looking for her.

If anyone is on the fence about getting this, it's €28 in argos (presumably just today). On the consoles, no idea about the master race.

http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10152&catalogId=14551&langId=111&searchTerms=witcher+3&authToken=

Might be cheaper elsewhere, haven't looked.

EDIT: Witcher 3 is €30 on Steam, but Witcher 2 is only €3. Yes please. The trilogy is €35.

RoyalMarine · 27-11-2015 8:05pm

finished the game today

FUUCKING EPIC! JESUS CHRIST THIS GAME

Picked Triss. bang on right move

Thinking Ciri died when she teleported at the end almost had me in tears!

willmunny1990 · 30-11-2015 8:52pm

Was thinking of buying this on the psn network, its going for 25 dollars on the U.S site, with the expansion pass its going for 74 dollars...do people think thats worth it and whats the difference? On the European store its going for 58 euros with the expansion pass..can anyone tell me what the best option is and whats the difference?

So far there's been one expansion that cost €9.99. There's another one due after xmas sometime.

The base game will keep you going for ages anyway. It's superb and so is the first expansion.

RoyalMarine · 30-11-2015 10:24pm

normally I'm a cheap skate when it comes to buying games, but after forking out 80 quid for this, I am 100% satisfied and absolutely love it.

well worth 80 euro+

Thargor · 30-11-2015 10:39pm

How did you manage to spend €80?

Game + expansion pass maybe?

RoyalMarine · 01-12-2015 1:42am

yeah it was 80 quid for game and expansion.

just looked at the steam store... prices have dropped so much!

Robert ninja · 01-12-2015 10:50am

GOG recently had a massive sale with TW3 @ 50% off. TW is GOG's most-sold game and the expansion pack isn't out yet so I've no doubt they'll bundle them together in some kind of promotion. Then you can play the waiting game again if you want such a bundle to go on sale.

Paying for unreleased and unannounced DLC's seems absolutely bonkers to me

Its all announced and sounds fairly substantial but not all released.

FreudianSlippers · 01-12-2015 12:31pm

HoS was a pretty brilliant expansion, and I'm not usually one for expansions once the game has ended.
