If you play HoS first you'll most likely be too over leveled to have a real challenge when you finally decide to wrap up the main quest. Hearts of Stone. I quite liked my new black Roach with his weird eyes. If you do the DLCs before finishing the story, you get overleveled for the story.
Geralt then participates in a heist to steal Maximilian Borsodi's house from its vault and finds that it contains a will that would grant the entire Borsodi fortune to charity, fulfilling von Everec's revenge and second wish. Geralt then kills the toad monster, only to find it was actually a cursed Ofieri prince. Hearts of Stone is also designed to be played during the main campaign (though, it doesn't make much sense), however Blood and Wine is fully intended to be played after as it chronologically takes place afterwards anyway (even contains spoilers for main story) There, he learns that due to his "Heart of Stone," von Everec could not genuinely love Iris, and she died neglected and unhappy. There's only one problem: the rose is Iris's last connection to her husband and the world, and without it, both she and the painted world in which she waits for Olgierd would cease to exist.
While being handcuffed and taken as a prisoner by the Offieri, Geralt manages to escape. He then tells Geralt his three wishes: to entertain his brother Vlodimir for one night, to get revenge on the Borsodi family by obtaining Maximilian Borsodi's house, and to obtain the violet rose he had given to Iris. So... you guys suggest to complete the game and then do HoS and BW? You can do both expansions before main story, if you want. B&W definitely comes after.
Hers is not only the sad story of a woman trapped unhappily in a marriage with someone she wholly loved who couldn't love her back, but also a bit of a horror story: in death, Iris's painted world has become warped by grief, and is haunted by a ghoulish caretaker, a wraith in a painting--who both At the end of the quest, Geralt can indeed take the purple rose that Olgierd requested; though it withered in the real world, it's still fresh in the painted world.
Am I too far into the game to stop and do HOS and have that affect the plot/ending in any way ?

You get a cryptic answer that actually contains hints about how to get the good ending of the main story This isn't really much of a reward on it's own but it's kinda neat to hear it said & it shows that the developers at least planned for when players finish Hearts of Stone before the main quest. If Geralt intervenes, he challenges O'Dimm by wagering his own soul to save von Everec. He admits to cursing the Ofieri prince since he was arranged to marry his true love, Iris, and that he wished for immortality in order to be with her.
It is all up to you. New Cyberpunk 2077 Trailer Shows Off Lifepath Choices O'Dimm brands Geralt and tells him that according to terms of his contract with von Everec, he must fulfill three of von Everec's wishes. All rights reserved. Personally I prefer to play HOS before the end of the main game. O'Dimm banishes Vlodimir when the task is done, implying that he has powerful magic.
And should Geralt let the couple live and lie, he'll find the old man mourning his wife upon a return visit, as she has died from hunger. To obtain Iris' rose, Geralt enlists the help of two demonic entities that resemble a cat and a dog to gain access to a supernatural realm where he witnesses von Everec and Iris' past. The go-to source for comic book and superhero movie fans. When does Hearts of Stone take place? People usually suggest main story first, then HoS, then BaW because of the level you earn goes naturally this way.
Neither will have any effect on the main quest, except you will be hugely overleveled of course. Geralt takes up a contract sent out by a noble named Olgierd von Everec, who tasks him with eliminating a giant toad monster in the sewers of Oxenfurt.
I'm guessing it can be played after the main story in which case it won't affect the, but I prefer to do it before the end so will wait for more information Shani was my romance option in …
O'Dimm helps Geralt escape, but in return, Geralt must help O'Dimm recover a debt from von Everec, who had set up Geralt knowing the toad monster was an Ofieri prince. If Geralt takes the rose, then the demonic cat and dog offer him a warning about Gaunter O'Dimm and he leaves Iris's world as is begins to crumble and vanish around him.Geralt can stay out of it and let O'Dimm do his soul-reaping work; in exchange for his help, as promised, O'Dimm will reward Geralt with one of several boons: to be swift as the wind, to never go hungry again, a never-ending bottle of vodka, On the one hand, players might not be feeling too sympathetic to Olgierd, given everything he's done, but much of it was due to the heart of stone that O'Dimm's deal gave him. However...that never stopped me from taking a good dozen full contracts on the side, getting cozy with several girls, general exploring a la meandering about the waterways in a boat, slogging through swamps, and charging up mountains with creatures well above my level like the Light Brigade in Crimea.Someone, somehow pointed out, based on the date, that B&W is set about 2 years after the main game.Not sure about Hearts of Stone, but Blood and Wine takes place after the main story.
But as for BaW, it is like a epilouge kinda dlc. When the time comes, those who play I finished heart of stone recently after completing the main story. Also in Skyrim the dlc's affect the free roam as well as they add new random encounters etc.
