I'm sure he'll know when you get to that episode... if you haven't already.

If I have, I don't remember it. Today he turned 12.

Ah, not just yet then. Forget I mentioned it.


Anyway... I do love how the painted cows look like little pets next to the Giants.

 

But back to that age old problem. Can I (skulking in the background there) kill the one naughty Giant to collect the bounty without having to fight the others. What do you think, Arissa?
Wait- where is she? She should be with me in the background.
Arissa?

 

What's she doing way down there by the stream? Leave the mudcrabs alone! We're after the Giant up here.
*goes back to retrieve Arissa*

Now, where was I?
Ah, yes. Attack one Giant without making the others angry. Maybe I should try that newly acquired voice throwing power to distract all the others away.
"Hey, melon nose!"
No, that didn't work. Was a bit of a longshot anyway. But now that I'm looking through my shouts could I use Animal Allegiance to make the cow attack the other Giants?
"RAAN!"
No, that didn't work either. The naughty Giant did start to look more aggressive and paranoid but the cow wouldn't fight until I started so I'll let everyone calm down for a moment.

So we're back to the same problem. Can I attack one Giant without the other one coming to chase me?

 

That's a big NO then.
Run for it!
But wait, what's happening now?

 

The crabs have saved the day by attacking him.
Told you that you shouldn't be fighting those crabs, Arissa.
Of course the tiny crabs didn't last long but the distraction gave me chance to recover and then launch my own attacks. So thank you, mudcrabs. Your sacrifice is noted and appreciated.

And after all that (and a couple of other fun adventures that are too long for this post) I finally got home and found that my greenhouse now has three moths and a firefly.

 

And look at all that Jazbay growing! Won't be long now until I have enough for that other quest.

These two-on-one fisticuff battles are not enjoyable...

 

Can't I just get my sword out and-
"You cannot do that now."
Maybe I should push them away with Aard or-
"You cannot do that now."
Can I at least heal myself a bit by drinking some-
"You cannot do that now."

OK, what the hell CAN I do?
Oh, yes. I can lose.
 

That's what you get for involving yourself in the affairs of dwarves   (have you tried hitting the other people?)

I keep hitting their fists with my face but that tactic doesn't seem to work.

You'd think their arms would get tired after a while 

Managed to get lucky and beat them.
But the rest of that quest didn't quite go the way the script wanted.

"Chase the Duke!"
OK, he's gone up those ladders.
"Chase the Duke!"
Right, along this wall.
"Chase the Duke"!
Down these ladders. OK.
"Chase the Duke!"
Er, what?? Quest marker says I have to run over there but... But...
The Duke's just stood here at my side. I can even talk to him and he says only one word: "Simpleton!"
Oh, well. I'll follow the quest marker and see what happens when I leave the Duke behind to chase "the Duke"?!

Uh-oh, I have to fight a load of drowners. And now, in the middle of the big fight, the Duke is casually walking through all of us to wherever it is I'm supposed to be chasing him to.

Just the usual Witcher Glitches.
But at least I've got some more Gwent Cards to add to the collection.

They got tired  

For my castle, I have now decided that the basement you can now only access through the kitchen, which should be off limit to all guests, will be an illegal gambling den  

I can really only put in a chess board and a pool table, but still.... ILLEGAL

Illegal chess sounds fun.

Speaking of illegal I've just spent half an hour getting beaten to death by policemen in old London while Karl Marx just stood there and watched without helping at all!
Come on, Karl. I thought this was supposed to be OUR struggle and OUR fight? I'M the only one that's dying here for your cause.
