Gaming

The horn just makes them fall from the sky, so you still need to hit them after I think I used the horn a handful of times.

So Ciri slow blinks? I guess she's a cat person, then

It only needs eyes for the slow blinking.

I decided to try to improve my weapons and armour for once, and especially since most things I encounter seem to ill me way too easily unless I happen to be accidentally stuck on a cliff somewhere which is impossible for the enemies to get to.

Well, some of my items were enchanted so I couldn't do anything about those. And I figured I should improve my crafting skills, too. But all I can make are things that seem useless now - they were good like 15 levels ago. I googled for a crafting guide, basically hoping to understand the tech tree a bit better. What would be best o craft to quickly improve skills and get new options? But the guide I found basically requires to be followed from your character's day one, and is hellbent on maximising everything to the point where I don't see the fun in playing the game.

I've never quite understood people who just play games to "maximise profit" as if that profit/gained skill/treasure/whatever is something they can later use in real life. I prefer learning through exploring...

Oh well. Guess I'll make me some nails for that house I can't build yet and then stuff all the ores and ingots back into my barrel because I can't get the house because I can't do the quest because....

(I'm starting to feel tempted to start over again... One of my major flaws when it comes to gaming...)

I've been rather scroogy with training

and I have come across yet another quick death.

Tried Mr Quick-Death again, somewhat better prepared, but while my death was rather slow and agonizing instead, I still died. I feel like there's no way to "move on", as I can't get better gear than what I have - at least not without defeating all the baddies that are lining up, but I can't defeat them without better gear.

It's frustrating

I do have several scrolls and some spells that sound promising but whenever I try to use them pretty much nothing happens or it just takes too long and I'm dead before the casting is finished.

Maybe I should do something else. Like dinner.
