So, sneaking in to Catworld. I thought wearing one of those masks would get me in. But the guard still asks for a pass. The internet seems to also think this should work which I checked after the fact. I got in my jumping on a cart and then getting off on the other side. But then all the guards realised who I was and I had to kill them. All.

ChopsenI'm not 100% sure, but I think there are three ways: 1) Sneaking in as you describe, which turns everyone hostile even with a mask; 2) Getting a pass *and* a mask, which lets you get in with no aggro; and 3) Going via the back route, which sounded hard enough to dissuade me from trying.

Was enjoying an absolutely epic fight against a chimaera, incredible creature design that , got it down to the final health bar when I took a tumble off a cliff into a deep pool of water, which I assumed would be fine once I'd spawned back up top. Cue all three fucking pawns and the beast diving in afterwards. Not how I wanted that to end. Hope it didn't drop anything too great.

Nah. Fought one earlier. Few beast manes(?) and something from the snake bit.
I lost an ogre into deep water tonight which was annoying. I did get an achievement for running over the back of it as it fell between two broken bits of bridge though! 😂
Went to elf world and helped out enough that I am now welcome there. Tried to buy stuff, but can't understand a word of it all! Dropped a port crystal there for the future.
Also fully levelled archer and switched up to mystic spearhand so we'll see what that brings.
Haven't razed a town due to pawn contamination yet.

Looks like I need to restart with a new save as the quest for the Sorcerer/Mage Maister skills is broken due to (I think) one of the NPC's dying to a random goblin attack and my not noticing it at the time. Boggles my mind how this game can simultaneously be the best and worst game ever made.

Can't you resurrect characters in the mortuary?

I'm not quite sure what it is and I'm not sure it will last (I hope it does) but I just love being in this world. In that sense it's Witcher 3 like to me.
Nothing in particular stands out about the setting it anything but not does it feel good to be in it.
I hope I don't jinx it now but if it keeps it up I'll be pretty happy

Can't you resurrect characters in the mortuary? As I understand it, there's a time limit on that and I've surely passed it by now. Anyways, it's all theoretical as to why it's broken but it is, for sure, broken for me. Just checked the mortuary and I was right. The NPC is there.

Re. sneaking in in the carriage, wait until you're round the corner and away from the guards before jumping out, after that you're free to do as you please.
Another tip, don't return the jail key, just back out of the delivery. Free perma jail key.

Bit late for that, I've murdered everybody now.
Resurrected Gordon. Poor bloke was only doing his job.

The last boss really isn't good and neither is the bit leading up to him Might just sack it off and watch the end on YouTube. On another note I fixed a bug by throwing someone off a cliff. The chap you rescue from prison, he wasn't responding at all after I killed the guards so I threw him off the cliff in his jail (sandy one). After plummeting to his death he reappeared next to me and escaped 😂

Switched to thief for a bit. Struggling a bit with archer muscle memory, but it’s kind of nice to be a bit involved. Took down a minatour pretty quick by jumping on its back and stabling it with fire daggers.
Just going round uncovering parts of the map right now. Mainly as I don’t know what to do with the masquerade quest. I’ve got the mask but not sure where to get the rest. A quick google suggests I need to complete a quest with Sven and the ornate box. I have the box but Sven is nowhere to be seen. Maybe I’ll sell the box back and see if that triggers something.

Sven should appear at some point, not sure if it's only a certain time of day. He was near the stall, though I hadn't purchased the box at that point. You'll need to meet up with him a few times afterwards, so takes a few days to get what you need from him. I believe there are other ways to get in the masquerade if you CBA with that.

You can get that outfit from a bedroom in the castle if you would like to do it that way instead.

You can also get the outfit in the posh district. Forget which specific houses I went in, but I got each part in two different houses. Didn't seem to attract any attention, so less faff than dealing with the shit stealth systems in the castle.

It is hilarious how many RPGs have conditioned us to be aware of stealing as a mechanic and the consequences and this game just has bags of gold in people's houses or chests in shops that you can just steal while they go about their business. But this game doesn't even have a functioning stealth mechanic but asks you to be stealthy at times. Hilarious Still love the game.
It becomes quite clear after a while that Capcom only gave Itsuno just enough money to get the game made but not enough for all the systems being competent. I don't think they believed it would be popular so now are a bit "oh fuck, people are buying this?! Shit get back in the dev mines and fix this!"

About the stealing from other people's houses, I found one location where it was actually commented on.

That's the problem I had, double bribe and nothing happened. If you take the keys and open the cell you will get attacked. Once the guard are dead if he won't talk to you, pick him up and launch him off the cliff. He should come back just after.

Yeah, you'll have fun in there mate It's worth it though for 3 reasons 1 - opens up a new area beyond 2 - when you've done it all you'll have some nice loot 3 - also when you've done it all, gone somewhere else and come back again, it turns into a safe place with merchants in selling stuff. Stick at it! The area beyond is great

I think I've already put more time into DD2 than DD1, and I've barely scratched the surface of the former.
In truth, although I beat the latter, I barely scratched the surface in so doing - I just beelined the main quest, doing minimal exploration in the process.
I reckon I'd have rated the first game much more highly if I'd spent more time with it, but I was coming off the back of various open-world games at that point and felt pretty tired of them. (Kind of unfortunate, given that DD1 was far less trope-y in this regard than, say, Ghost Recon Wildlands had been!)

I still adore the first one and even though I'm really liking the second one, I still reckon I'll go back the first one now and again, over time.
