Really hope they do implement some fast travel if it's going to be open world. The Witcher 2 already had me walk around a little too much for my taste on occasions.I enjoyed the beautiful environment too much to care about the running around tbh...

Hmm not sure about open world. Seems to be a bit of an obsession these days. I actually liked the linear aspect of Witcher 2. The environments were so beautiful and what was included was very detailed and well thought out. To many games attempt open world and then lose a lot of the detail as a result in place of scale. Scale can be nice to...but not so sure in this. Nothing wrong with being handed the story on a plate if it is well told.
We shall see anyway. But it'll have a lot to live up to against Witcher 2.

Interesting stuff. What's the source? Is it from the leaked Game Informer stuff or what?no idea, and not actually interested to search for a source, maybe someone just compiled bits and pieces from everywhere
It's not all new (last game had hairstyle changes already etc) but together it sounds almost too good to be true. Exploration by boat gives me flashbacks to Wind Waker. Man I loved that game. There was a truly exciting and engaging open world if I've ever seen one.
Ciri :)hope not, also I hate yennefer as well and we'll have to resque her :(

20% bigger than Skyrim? Bye bye, detailed environments... :(
- Combat system: three big changes to solve the problem of being locked into long animations
- Every button press mapped to a single strike
- Each move takes a roughly equivalent time to perform
- Can always interrupt your current action to immediately dodge or block
- Can block/dodge when out of stamina, but you’ll be staggered
- Team wants to make the combat “more intimate”
- “You don’t run – in the Witcher 2 you were running constantly. You walk, but your attacks are very fast. Your opponents also walk but they have charges and things like that.”
- Geralt’s dodge roll replaced by a pivot move
- It retains its defensive utility without game-breaking mobility
- Attacks faster than in The Witcher 2
- Enemy AI completely rebuilt

You think? Why would she have white hair?
The Polish seem to do things a little bit differently than the rest of the world. They ride horses into battle against legions of tanks, they create submarines with screen doors, and they promote their video games by having lead characters featured nude in Polish Playboy Magazine.:mrgreen:
I liked Roach. Would really love to see more of him.
I'm what I'm guessing is halfway through chapter 2 on the first but so far "mature" games always seem to mean women have their breasts out and people swear a lot. Also, humans are racist and sometimes non-humans retaliate. The story isn't bad so far from the "little" I've seen but the tedium of going back and forth through each area is starting to ride on me a bit.
Broche was the greatest. Fuck that Iorveth guy, elves are the worst.If only elves would have been less gay in Witcher. Iorveth also wanted to shag that dragonlady but got friendzoned.
Really hope they do implement some fast travel if it's going to be open world. The Witcher 2 already had me walk around a little too much for my taste on occasions.
Im little sceptical about the "open world" part. Open world by witcherlogic isnt same as by TES logic. Despite this the games havent disapointed either.
What he probably meant is that in Witcher 2 the world was comprised of instanced large-ish open areas, where as in TES the open world is non-instanced, except for the dungeons/houses.
What exactly are you talking about when you say instancing?
Yes, and he's retarded if he means that: they never marketed Witcher 2 as open world. They're saying the open world is a new thing. That's their biggest promise of change, going from linear to open world. So using previous, non-open world Witchers to determine what kind of open world TW3 will have is stupid.Yep, you do make a fair point there. They never said it was open world. I have a right to be retarded from time to time. I quess I was so sure they did market it as open world, since lame publishers like EA for instance would do that. Say its open world cause it has little bit of freedom and call it a night....I quess the publishers for Witcher were smarter than that.
instanced as in you have loading times between different areas as opposed to no loading times in TES games
“35 times the size of The Witcher 2.”
My jaw dropped when CD Projekt Red told me just how much bigger The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is when compared to its direct predecessor. The upcoming role-playing game will take place across seven islands, each of which is far bigger than the entire world of the Witcher 2.
about 20% bigger than Skyrim
Skyrim also suffered of having very little in the way of interesting equipment to be found, outside the tiered sets of armour :/
Well the Witcher series was always more of a heavily storytelling one.
Sounds really, really good. Especially since CD Projekt RED is the best developer ever.
Anybody who is openly against DRM like that is just great.
That was the first game. Witcher 2 had tons of crap, but the system was pretty shallow and uncool. Hopefully they've improved it some.
Plus the whole enhanced edition deal. Adding as much new content to both Witchers for free as most developers add in expansion packs.
There'll be a new Witcher novel in a couple of months too!!11
Also anyone who sides with Squirrels is a motherfucker, how could anyone not side with Roche?
Also anyone who sides with Squirrels is a motherfucker
I played Roche on my first play through and then Iorveth on my second. On my most recent play through I went with Roche again because that's the one I want to use for the save game.

If the screenshots and in-game footage are anything to go by, it's certainly got nothing to be ashamed of.
Too good? It looks so good you can't even handle it? Wat.
absolutely on your page - but didn't they say its gunna be open world? And since they're not realeasing a game with worse graphics than in witcher 2 i think thats really gonna stamp my frames to the ground...
I'm not worried, probably I'll have to turn some settings down but no big.
Hmm, interesting. Nilfgaardian Empire though, they're the Elves lovers though, right? Says something about them having blood from Blood Elves in the Wiki..
Not too sharp on my Witcher lore sadly :(
Hope Vernon Roche makes a comeback, coolest character in the last game
Was an obvious choice between him or Iorveth, mehlf.

Well then u are going to be really disapointed. The games plot continues where the books end. If u were serius about reading and did some simple research you would know that. Well technically the games arent a sequel, they are free adaptions of the novels. The point is u are really missing out on a great story here and u wont be getting these parts from the books or anywhere else for that matter.

This looks so fucking awesome, and because it's CD Projekt RED, I even believe it will be awesome.
I love that patronizing attitude towards games and gamers from a guy who writes books about a macho monster slayer.Not sure about patronizing. He is pretty respectful towards CDPR and says he doesn't play video games, so it's understandable he doesn't understand them.
The visual effect will be stunning, the players delighted - some might even consider it to be better and easier digestible than the original book, because in the book the letters are so small.... Some will never even reach for the original book; as for them, the game will be enough,
the idea to write 'adjuvant content' and create something 'complementary' to a game or a comic is an absolute pinnacle of idiocy.
A story can only be contained in a book.
I believe it is the success of my books that significantly affects the popularity of the games,
Seems pretty patronizing to me. Especially last bit considering that ie. Torment is lightyears ahead of everything he ever wrote in terms of good storytelling.Uh.. yes... and how would he know about Torment, having never played video games?
Yup, patronization and ignorance. Games dont have stories, btw. never played any of them, lel."Ok"
And thats coming from a guy who tried so hard to milk the franchise by rushing the release of another Witcher book after games made those popular even though he said previously he wouldnt even write it.

Actually, from what ive gathered from people who read his interviews and saw him in conventsions, they say that Sapkowski is a bit of a douche. Not a gigantic one. He's kinda popular and he knows it all to well. Humble isnt really the word people who have seen him, describe him as.
when he got drunk at conventions
As to those of you itching to find out what happened to Witcher 2 hero Geralt: you'll probably be waiting a deal longer. "You aren't supposed to know," Sapkowski pointed out. "And you will never know. Or at least until I write about it and I'm not sure if I'll find the will to do so."
[...]I haven't. I watched trailers and fell in love with the setting, background and the rather mature dialogue/theme of Witcher 1.
Question at the end of my post. Has anyone ever heard of Wiezdmin before the first game came out?
Other than some hardcore fantasy loving people and esp. Poles, I'm not sure.

I quess I get it when GRRM says he hates fan fiction. Imagine whatkind of retarded shit people would write, if they had the permission to rewrite GoT. For example Star Wars adaptions and fan fiction are generally completely off the rails stupid.

You're wrong, he said he would not write continuation of The Witcher's saga, but in "History and fantasy" - interview book with S. Bereś - he clearly says that isn't out of question new novel settled in witchcer's world, just not a continuation or sth like that but a spin-off.
lul
I dont think I'm wrong. Book youre mentioning was released in 2005, last time I heard him claim that he wont write any more Witchers was at Polcon 2012.

I much prefer TW2s combat to traditional RPG combat. The main problem was that it was not SATISFYING. It looks like they might've fixed that in TW3: the better animations, physics, and blood/decapitations might make combat cooler.And a more fluid use of the signs. I thought there was no incentive to go the "magic" skill tree cuz it was so... breaking the flow... to switch signs and use them properly. It looks overall more fluid now, quicker and more responsive...
Looks... pretty good I think.
Something seems off to me about graphics in this one. They look completely same as W2:AOK.Yeah, it seems real off to me as well when a massive open world game has same graphics as the railroaded RPG with the best graphics in any game of its genre.

(If that were the case - TW3 clearly has better graphics than TW2 as is obvious to anyone with eyes. I'm replaying TW2 with all on highest, plus ubersampling, and even in its current state TW3 has tons better gfx)
Monster hunter'ish for those who played that game, god thats a great game. That forced you to individually prepare for every hunt.

Thanks for the public service announcement. Could've said what you thought was wrong with it or something.
so when 4 bandits try to rob a guy but that guy kills 3 of them by shooting magic fireballz out of his hands, wouldn't the last bandit you know try and run away?The definite answer is: not necessarily. It's really stupid to speculate on the psychology of fictional bandits. You could easily craft a scenario where the last bandit wouldn't run. Would it be nice to have there be a chance of them running? Sure. Necessary? Nope.
it kind of irks me in games when you are the only one running around throwing magic around like harry potter and nobody else even seems to notice or care. sure there are games where people do make a big deal out of it or its legit common since your enemies are using it too. but then there are so many others that do it wrong, witcher is definitely by no means the worst.Magic isn't magical in the Witcher universe, there are sorcerers and wizards, crazy monsters, the Wild Hunt, etc. It's pretty much the same as some US soldier having NVGs, a Taleban fighter isn't going to completely freak out over it.
bioshock anoyed the shit out of me. oh right ok its not magic its explained by these potions laying around everywhere but simply nobody else wants to use.
Great choice of actor! One of the Great Danes in acting (we only have 3 who's good enough to act internationally; Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Ulrich Thomsen)

Started reading "Last wish". There are some quite suprising details. Like how in the games Gerald seems mentally unshakable. Turns out he has some decent degree of depression due to being a social reject, which isnt suprising, I quess, but it never really showed itself in the games. Generally whenever someone told him to go fuck himself he was all like "k, whatever", deep inside he does cri evry tiem. :rolleyes:

He also displays extreme measures in order to avoid sincere social contact with strangers, always acting antisocial badass.

Would have agreed 2 years ago or so. Does get kinda boring now. Too much dark grumpyvoiced heroes. Everyones basically Batman. It does get kinda lame now. Im not saying they should be emotional crybabies, but atleast have some degree of originality in your personality. There are issues in your characters you could potentially milk for a sick story. Dont turn em into a grumpy voiced brickwalls. Like how in the "Thief" series, Geret for instance had totally his own thing going on and than the last game the writers just fucked up his personality and turned him into Batman. Im not the only one whose noticed this. Sticking Batmanish protagonists in the games seem to be the latest thing these days by many reviewers accounts.
Turning Geralt into some emotional twat is something only Americans would do.
It's just not very realistic for someone like Geralt to be, as Leshma so eloquently put it, an emotional twat.
Aaaand Geralt is a fucking superhuman with the hottest girlfriendS ever, several great friends, "daughter", hasn't done real work for a day in his life....
Just got myself a copy of "The last wish" which is supposed to be the first book...
Is it worth to get W3 without playing the first 2? :?
I'm on chapter 4 in the first game and it only took me 3 years to get there.Chapter 4 is the best part of this game :shock:
One quick question:
Is it worth to get W3 without playing the first 2? :?
First game, was really great as well, but at this point the gameplay mechanic and graphics (if you care about it) may seem a bit outdated. Anyway, I highly recommend to play it.

honestly i never understood why it got so acclaimed; it wasn't worth half of what fable 1 or 2 were imo :l

Wonder what "recommended" really means? That's pretty much my PC, I hope I can max out most settings at least...
Did I mention that I am in the process of upgrading my PC atm? :mrgreen:
Preparation for this and GTA5 for PC...
Minimum requirements are obviously a bit higher than they actually are, just look at cpu's i5 2500k and Phenom II X4 940, so I am pretty convinced that with my rig (i5 4590 and r9 270x) I'll be able to play at medium with decent fps. Was thinking about buying gtx 970 from MSI, but the prices in Poland are just crazy... 430$. It's nearly 100$ more than on neweeg.What about German prices?
What about German prices?
I would think some smaller e-shops will deliver to Poland.
Minimum requirements are obviously a bit higher than they actually areBy quite a lot too, probably. They just have to play it safe.
What, you have to pay customs for ordering from another country in the EU in Poland?
Holy shit, GTX 970. I think you good, bro. And enough RAM too. I dont know, but it has always appeared to me that CPU isnt really that important when it comes to games, that it can be run on recommended or high aslong as your GPU and RAM is jacked up.I can tell you from experience that this is not true.
I can tell you from experience that this is not true.
Just switched from a Q9400 to a E3-1231v3 and before I could not play AC Unity, Watchdogs and the likes... simply couldn't... with a R9 270x.
Now with the new CPU I run them all on Ultra. It makes a huuuuge difference.

Witcher 3's combat looks like a good enough improvement on TW2's combat.

I just hope it is a real open world. not with all kinds of artificial barriers like thick bushes or rocks or fences that keep you on certain tracks.Witcher 2 wasn't open world and wasn't advertised as such. Witcher 3 is real open world.
I was really angry about AC black flag for example. they announced open world as well but delivered very restricted islands.
As far as i remember the last witcher had a lot of walkways that you couldn't leave as well.
I do hope this does become the standard for rpgs. Probably sounds retarded, but this kinda looks like Skyrim, exept its not shit in all the parts Skyrim was. Adult humor, no pointless censoring, decent combat, choices that matter more which result in more than just npcs wearing a slightly different hat or saying a slightly different random line.And actual open world gameplay hopefully, instead of the open world being a mere travel hub inbetween dull dungeons.
This fucking requirements... I bought new pc 1,5 year ago and allready not even on minimum...I built mine 2+ years ago and mine reaches the recommended specs, except for GPU (GTX 680 when the recommended is 770, though performance between those two is pretty much identical). So I dunno, not too surprising you don't meet minimum reqs if you built your PC using bad parts 1,5 years ago. High end parts from 2012 = enough for recommended system requirements.
like what about it comes out and then see? there's really no need or possibility to compare them nowImplying it'll ever make sense to compare them.
Sense? More implying there could be need or possibility laterWhat?

I decided to stop watching videos about this game some time ago, because, otherwise, I would know half the game already before even having played it. It's the same with films for me - I hate trailers.They've only shown about 15 minutes of meaningful gameplay so far, and it's supposed to be a 100-200 hours game.
Something for Falka:
Good thing that Yennefer will be in game.
To be honest I dont see what all the fuzz is about. Its a bit false advetisement sure, but they are selling a game, not a painting. Aslong as they delivered everything they promised on gameplay, theres nothing legit to rage over. Mybe slight disgruntlement, which is understandable, but nothing major.
"Played over 200 hours and had fun, but the lighting and the textures on the buildings roofs were off, so 1/10" - Some dork with bad hygiene on Steam
Yes also about graphics, it's 2015, graphic has rigthly its importance, it helps the immersion and I expect it to be decent, at least on par with current time...
I don't think you can reason with somebody who thinks like "graphics do not matter to me, therefore graphics do not matter."I think you misinterpeted my posts meaning on purpose to sound more edgy, since well, its kinda what you do. K than. If its mud on in the eyes, like Warband, yea sure it matters. But if its W3-s case, were some daaaamn impressive images, now just look impressive, id still call that a win. Graphics dont matter, if it still looks fine. And I think it does. So would everyone else, if their minds werent stuck on the trailers.
Da fuck are you talking about? Decent? What are you blind. The gameplay looks very nice, even with the downgraded graphics. It could handle even more downgrading imo. The point is that we are supposed to be mad that the trailers lied. The game can even look uglier and still decent. And "par with current time" is very subjective and highly depends what you compare it to. Like every year, out of hundreds of games like 3 are mybe graphically revolutionary and taking full advantage of the current times best performing hardware. So yea...
now you can't ask people to just get over it because it was obvious there wouldn't be graphics like that, it's bullshit.
now you can't ask people to just get over it because it was obvious there wouldn't be graphics like that, it's bullshit. if you do so don't put any preorder first of all.
and as for the gameplay, lol it looks shit. maybe half decent, but certainly not good, and more surely not memorable.
Yes, let's judge graphics based on Nvidia promo screenshots and the gameplay based on videos even before playing the game. Way to retard, Darmaster.
I dont agree. The game looking prettier on trailers and pictures than what it actually is, has always been the case. Jokes on those people who still believed. Its a shady businessmodel, but it is what it is. And CD project was praised to skies by the fans first. And based on that they called themselves "player friendly". Technically the costumers gave them that title, not they themselves.
it's not about being better in trailer, it's talking shit about others, considering yourselves different and then doing the exact same thing as other evil software houses. not entirely sure about costumers giving this their title, i thikn they mentioned it in the dlc statement, being themselves "gamers" and doing what gamers want
For a meleecombat fantasy RPG thats also a sandbox, the gameplay(by that I assume you mean combat) seems more than adequate. All sandbox games have crap gameplay, if you think about it hardly. Its the world, characters and the different things you can do while roaming around that leave the memorable impression.
come on sandbox is quite heavy; the franchise is 80% rpg/action, the open world has been added now, good choice ofc but it's also 2015 and we have much better machines that can handle it. still the main thing is the action, not the story, it's the action and the settings mostly./b]
i don't see what's the problem in judging not graphics but the downgrade that there has been between two legit screenshots, and what's wrong with comparing them?Because there's literally no point in comparing them when you don't know the conditions they were taken in. Or the build. What's the point of getting all angsty beforehand? Imagine if there will be no downgrade compared to ultra settings on PC and you've been all indignant here. Why not whine when you're sure there's a good reason for it?
hmm i'm pretty sure that if they show you any sort of screenshot it's in their interest it being maxed out.
Darma is working hard to get the same "mad about everything" skill set that Oberyn already acquired ages ago... slightly leaning towards Nightmare here... :xYup, people are just robbing themselves by thinking they're cool and edgy by being cynical.
I'll judge it when I start it on my PC for the first time. And I am pretty sure that I'll still be impressed and immersed. I am also pretty sure that I'll enjoy the game way more than Darma will. :)

What I've never understood is why they need to downgrade the PC versions to keep it in line with consoles.

What I've never understood is why they need to complain even if the game looks awesome.
Because of this:
Quote from Adam Badowski, member of the board at CDPRed. In short: because they couldn't afford - they didn't have enough resources; manpower and such - to make separate builds for PC and consoles. That's why there's one build for all 3 platforms. CDPred is still pretty small company in comparison to Ubisoft and other western companies.
As I said before, I don't care, but that's how witcher looked like:

What I've never understood is why they need to complain even if the game looks awesome.Some people have beastly rigs and were enormously excited to see top notch graphics in such a large open world game in footage from two years ago. I myself was rather stunned by it. I don't see how you have to wait for release to conclude that the game looks significantly crappier. They have a clear incentive to make official gameplay videos look as good as they can, and even from those the downgrade is crystal clear. What reason do you have to assume that official pre-release videos look worse than the game?
just because they decided this will be the rpg game (which is not lol it never was)

lol, what?
If you paid a lot of money to be able to experience the best graphics the industry has to offer, why wouldn't you complain if a game that got marketed as a stunning game turns out to have console graphics after all? It is a case of false marketing, happens all the time, but it is very easy to understand for me that it is upsetting for certain people. That said, I was sure as hell that my crappy rig would not be able to run the game at all, but now I got hope.
Quite often the best high-end graphicscards themselves are always much better than all the games during their release and you have to wait a couple of years to use their full potential anyway. I think the game demanding a higher minimum that was promised is a lot worse than a lowered maximum. Cause despite the cries of some spergs with a lot of money to afford computerrigs from space acing to put them on trial of fire, most people, like yourself are gunning for the minimum. So yeah, not much harm done there.
Ubisoft did it for Watchdogs and everybody is still at their throats for no more, no less than that.
How dare you compare a champion of the PC Master Race like CDPR with console loving Ubisoft???Let's see...
[...] People sponsored it as one of (if not THE) best rpg game (despite having seen only 2 ganeplay videos)
[...] Not to mention that every single test I've read, they all say it's one of the best RPGs ever made. [...]
Let's see...
Ubisoft:
- WatchDogs: Fucked up cuz unplayable till patch 5
- FarCry 4: Fucked up cuz unplayable till patch 4, 5 broke it again, 6 works
- Assassin's Creed Unity: Fucked up, still barely playable, never fixed really
CDProject:
- Witcher 1: good overall
- Witcher 2: good overall
Yea, now I see it. They're like twins really. :rolleyes:
Edit: Just found this...
Guess Teeth can safely assume that it will run for him. Seems to be very well optimized.
All the Witcher games are universally accepted as good. Them not being good is your subjective opinion.
http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/the-witcher-enhanced-edition
http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings
More important than that, CDPROJEKTRED have been great to the players, making enhanced editions for free, taking out DRM, etc., etc.
As for TW3 reviews
http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt
34 so far, average of 92. But don't let the facts get in your way.
Lets face it, metacritic is not the most reliable reviewing site. Most of their reviews are outright bullshit. Not that this says anything abut W3 though. U just expect them to give it high score even if it doesnt deliver what it promised.
a prefix added to the name of a subject and designating another subject that analyzes the original one but at a more abstract, higher level:
a person who judges, evaluates, or criticizes:
http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/halo-3
halo 3 has 94
http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3
mw 3 has 88
let's put it this way, if witcher 3 was good as witcher 1 and 2 were in their times i'd consider it a big failure tbh. because to me it was certainly not memorable, to ign tho..
as for cdpr being friendly to gamers before, ofc they were (i'd expect a reason for people liking them) but now, now they surely haven't done much for the gamers, more for their wallet (rightly imo), i just don't get this "patriotism" towards them after delays, downgrades, only console build (despite being pc gamers the ones that brought them there) and day 1 patches.

Trailers are advertisement. Why on earth would anyone expect it to be 100% true? How naive. Grow up. That's why I can only shake my head in disbelief by the rage Darma displays and why I poke him. It's just silly.
....since when did CMP become so involved.......
...since when did people start referring to cmp as CMP.....
yo
Yeah, but it's a bit more than that when their developer states that the game will look exactly like that or better. I'm not saying it looks bad (because it doesn't), just that I don't like how they handled it.Alright, then I simply misunderstood you. That is something else than most complains in here were about. Tho I might have misunderstood them too.

To be honest I dont see what all the fuzz is about. Its a bit false advetisement sure, but they are selling a game, not a painting. Aslong as they delivered everything they promised on gameplay, theres nothing legit to rage over. Mybe slight disgruntlement, which is understandable, but nothing major.

However, remember that we had a reason to change it (and these effects have nothing to do with performance). Sharpening only looks good on screenshots and short videos. If you stare at the game like that for a long time, the eyes really start to hurt.
Can't help but think the trees and grass look terrible though.
Is the graphics downgrade shit made to hide that they havent changed the combat barely at all? Or did they, so far all i see from watching streams is that its basically the same shield-spell spam. Could be very different control wise, not that i really had any issues with 2, but it got boring.Combat is nowhere near Witcher 2 - way more fluid, dynamic and responsive.
Been playing like 5 hours. Doing sidequests, watching the cutscenes, catching up on the lore and just messing around. Im practically nowhere in the main questline. Game is good. I wouldnt say its revolutionary. It doesnt do anything that games similar to it havent done before. But it rather combines it all and does it well. Also I kinda get a Gothic series vibe from this game. Anyone else?

He's a witcher - big swords it is.
And true, you can't spam the spells anymore - instead you can spam food for endless healing tho. Granted, it heals over time but it still feels... well... dunno how to put it.
Well as far as I've read every problem reported can be easily fixed by mods, that's nice. My biggest concern along with graphics were combat system (which seems nice) and fetch quest fest, like DA I (one of the most boring games ever)
So as someone who absolutely hated Witcher 1 and 2 because of its clunkyness and shit tier combat I have to say they really cleaned things up. I couldn't stand K+M controls and swapped to a PS4 controller which feels a lot more natural especially the movement with the analog sticks as I couldn't stand WASD. One major thing I'm having a problem with still how sometimes there feels like a delay in turning around or 90 degrees. Overall games fun, nothing new level but fun.I agree with you on the turning. Also the dialogue is off- the characters in cuts scenes mouths still talking after the voice actor stopped talking is kind of irritating. But all in all I am having fun.

Somehow I don't think pedophiles will be too excited about a woman that looks like she's 30.

Fin gave me the tip yesterday evening and I went for the 2013 E3 settings. Less bright, less bloom, more contrast, less saturated, looks way better to me without changing it too much.
Thanks Fin :)

I assume you are quite pleased with yourself over that one.
I feel like I should be in the episode of hoarders. Im so scared of selling anything. Theres so much stuff in this game that you will never be able to keep track of what you might need in the future and how expensive these items really are, so its just best to hold on to everything. Like for instance I needed some emerald dust to craft a powerful sword. I figured, eh how expensive could it be. The damn thing costed 500, which is quite a lot so I called it off on hoped I come a cross it. 30 minutes later I had bucketloads of it.Well, in all open world RPGs you should keep stuff that might be useful.

Didn't play a singleplayer PC game for 10 years on mouse and keyboard, exceprions are Civ 5 and such games, shooters involved
Is anyone else having trouble optimizing this game? I have ok specs and I can run other games fine it's just that this keeps dipping below 60 fps on medium-low settings.(click to show/hide)

Adapt to a simple fucking xbox controller?
Oh right, Nightmare is speaking from the perspective of a 50 IQ person.
You do know that in the other thread I posted a link that links to the profile of whoever clicks it, right?
That wasnt in the discussion and you know it.
Your main point was, atleast how it sounded like to the majority of us, was that a controller is hard to use spacetechnology for PC gamers. Its really not. How hard is it to adapt to shooters however. That, in this current discussion is irrelevant, especially considering that this is a thread about a 3rd person cameraview fantasy rpg. And everybody here already clarified to you that shooting with a controller is inferior to mouse and keyboard combo.

Might soon add this to my list of "play a couple of hours without finishing then never bothering to pick up again and instead go back to crpg"lol you do that too :P
Turn off NVIDIA Hairworks, switch all other options to High (if you were using Ultra), and turn off all the other visual settings in the other menu. The biggest framerate killers apart from NVIDIA Hairworks are Ambient Occlusion and Antialiasing.
Antialiasing used to consume a lot in games, but I don't know about this one. I run it on High, Hairworks off, SSAO, and every other option on except Chromatic Aberration and both Blur options with 60 fps all the time (with a GTX 970 and an FX-8350, which is worse than your i7).
Xant - whats the fx7 settings you are on about - i'm a complete noob when it comes to graphical knowledgeLink on page 35, follow it and there's everything you need, install directions etc.
Link on page 35, follow it and there's everything you need, install directions etc.
Grass looks better yeah. Also I think your preset makes the game a tad too dark Xant. I use this one myself: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/3691/
Yeah. Remember when Xant said he got his ass handed to him in towns by common thugs. I didnt have that problem. Like in rpgs, patiently scavenge and do most of the secondary quests(those that dont have an absurd level requirement) in the world you are in before you move on to the next, otherwise get ready for an asswooping. Secondary quests given by people who are in the main story are a must-complete. Not only are they fun and lengthy quests, they also give bucketloads of xp, money, decent equip and most definately I think they contribute to the main story in the end aswell.What level and difficulty were you? I was level 3 and the thugs were 25, did almost no damage to them.
Tbh the game even putting those extremely important secondary quests right next to those common secondary quests given by peasants is a crime. Some of them probably have gigantic inpacts on the world. Like the one that has you kill the king, the guy whose massively related to the world and the lore in general. Accidentally overlooking something like that might suck.

Wow 25. Extremely bad luck in that case. Where were you? Novigrad, Velen, Skellige? Im play on that default difficulty. Occasionally you can wander accidentally into enemies who are extremely op. Than you just leg it and come back later when you are stronger.Novigrad and playing on Blood and broken bones.
On a phone so can't edit, what skill points from power places were you talkint about Vibe? How to get them?
You get a skill point when interacting with Places of Power or whatever those stones that boost signs are called (hold E on kb when close), at least in White Orchard. There's 5 total there, each gives a skill point, which is pretty OP considering how slow you level normally.Yea, I went to all of them. They are eventually all marked with a "?" on the map or are in close vicinity to a "?". I was surprised how many are in the starting area although it makes sense considering the difficulty level overall.
Why do you need 60 FPS for a single player RPG? I'm on 680 GTX and got everything on ultra + hairworks except for foliage distance.
I've found plenty of stuff on the map that had no markers, including some pretty hefty sidequests.. Spoiler inside!(click to show/hide)
Don't sidequests appear on minimap when you're close enough though? Well, at least you have to get close.
I'm sorry but I think finding that pan for that poor nan was an extremelly important task.
Running all Ultra and On except Foliage Distance and Hairworks atm. Vsync on, frames capped at 30fps. Smooth as silk on my R9 270x! <3
Everyone is a high level and im just sat here at lvl 6 like....uh hey guys.I keep doing side quests first, otherwise I get beat up too much in the main quest line ^^
Lvl 8 shrieker took me a good number of turns, as did a lvl 10 werewolf (love story quest, where he talks). Only just finished the first part of the Bloody Baron questline
Uh? you playin on 1080p?
Vibe what's your fps, you have r9 290 right?
I keep doing side quests first, otherwise I get beat up too much in the main quest line ^^
And since I love the atmosphere and sound - nobody said anything about the atmospheric sound but I think it to be exceptionally awesome! - I don't mind riding around for 5 minutes. And I take the level advice on any quest very serious by now :lol: Death and me are tight friends by now...
And I like Gwent tbh. I keep playing every single beggar I find. And still lose quite often. Wish I had more decks playable already but in Velen it's hard to find cards from other decks than North... I want a Monster deck but the only unit card I've found yet is a Vampire :(
Gwent seems ok.
So this "witcher" job don't seem that economically viable on hard.
did quest lost huge % of HP
lost % of weapon durability
quest reward 31
cost of repair 60+
cost of bread 40 (bread heals like 7% of my hp bar)
I'm only level 3 sure but I've done all the side quests and most the map markers so far and still poor as fuck.
Get Swallow or whatsitcalled healing potion ASAP. After that you get health when meditating thanks to alcohol filling potions. I was broke as fuck too when I was buying the ridiculously expensive food.
Yeah I got swallow now, makes me wish I didn't spend skill point on tiny passive hp regen call day and night.
yeah its quest dude, I drawed a couple times but his ability is than he wins when its a draw :?
Alright, I need to vent a little here.
WHO THE FUCK AT CD Projekt RED THOUGHT THIS MOVEMENT WAS ACCEPTABLE.
As I play the game more and more I'm enjoying it more but holy fucking hell this movement is borderline awful. To start, moving Gerald anymore than 90 degrees is a fucking hassle. Not to mention the fucking Horse that I've diagnosed with autism because it's so fucking retarded. I've called for my horse only for him to run away from me as I try to get on his stupid ass, I've also had him stop multiple times while in full sprint because even the slightest of down on the analog makes him halt completely (extremely irritating if you try to push left or right on analog to turn as the slightest down will stop him). Don't even get me started on the fucking fall damage in this game, holy christ. I've jumped on a ledge and have died, I've dropped 4-5 feet MAX and lost 3 quarters of my health, other times I've fallen from 10+ feet and have taken nothing it's so fucking inconsistent it's unbelievable. Not to mention the fact if you spam jump you can glitch up certain terrain.
This game would be quite literally 100% better if the movement didn't suck such huge dick. Which is ironic as the reasons I hated Witcher 1 and 2 was because of the Combat but now Witcher 3 really polished that up and now I have problems with the movement.
P.S - Controlling the horse while it sprints only to hit the smallest of hole/ledge/anythingreally in town or out and about makes me want to punch a small baby.

Alright, I need to vent a little here.+100, If only they put in something that would keep the camera directly behind you no matter which way you turned and also a button press that would center the camera behind you after using freelook, like every other rpg and mmo game I have played.

Son of a bitch. My game bugged out and now il never get to unlock the upgraded witcher set I wanted to so badly. :( The quest screwed up and it took me a while to figure out what the hell.There are lots of automatic save points. Check your load list and replay the last bit? :o(click to show/hide)
Instead of giving me the diagram for armor and silver sword it gave me double for steel sword and pants, which is pointless. So il never get to upgrade the most important parts. I could live without the pants or gloves. But the body armor was a very important piece. See, this is why you always add an ingame console for debugging things like this.
noSame.
I dont get why meditation does not recover HP on higher difficulties, considering alkehol is limited resource and food is so damn expensive.Because it's supposed to be more difficult, maybe?
Alright, I need to vent a little here.You're playing on a controller? It's better on PC I think, because you can toggle walk which makes the movement "alright." If there was no toggle walk button it'd be unplayable.

There are better ways to do that. They could just increase the difficulty of AI, or make them hit harder.They've already made the NPCS more difficult, the meditation thing is just another thing to make it harder...
It is stupid to not be able to heal any other way than to wait stupidly long ammounts of time, especially considering you heal up after standing around for like 5 minutes, yet you dont even heal an inch of your hitpoints after meditating 10 in game hours.
It just doesnt make sense.
They've already made the NPCS more difficult, the meditation thing is just another thing to make it harder...
It makes sense. And alcohol is easy to find.
The reason meditation doesn't give you health on higher difficulties is because it's too easy to meditate and to add some resource management.
The problem is that most of the quests give you less money that what you can repair your armor for.Then don't accept the quest. Peasants not being able to pay you 2000 gold for taking care of a monster isn't actually improbable if you can use your brain. And maybe you should get out of White Orchard if you're not finding quests that pay more than 20 gold.
I mean what? Quest giver is like: ¨Thank you for killing that big evil wraith in that well and saving my daughter!¨ *gives you enough money to buy one bread*
That is the definition on trying too hard from Projekt´s side. But whatever, guess they have to compensate for the simplistic AI somehow...

Anyway, moving on from 50 IQ concerns, I love that the combat, especially on higher difficulties, is take-and-deal-high-damage. Much more interesting than 20 minute fights. Also found the 6 places of power in White Orchard now and it effectively doubled my level. Think I'd be able to take those level 25 bandits now as long as I don't get hit.
Haven't had any problems with repairs really. -14 damage from 95 damage isn't THAT devastating, and it's gotta be in a really bad condition for that.

It doesnt work like that. Levels give hp and increase your damage aswell.
Those skillpoints you earned in Orchard will help, but you have to be atleast lvl 18 to even have a shot at taking out someone at lvl 25 nomatter how much extra skillpoints you earn. The only proper way to decently level up is doing the main quests and side quests given by the important characters in the main quests. Everything else is for loot. Atleast thats how it works in medium difficulty. Mybe the rules are different in Blood and Bones.
It doesnt work like that. Levels give hp and increase your damage aswell.I already killed one level 25 bandit when I was level 3 and with no places of power stuff + crap sword. Level 7 now with 7-8 places of power and a good main quest steel sword, should be no problem.

Pffft, calls someone stupid and doesnt know that Levels increase HP. That would be like pot calling kettle black, except me being stupid is forced opinion from xant to establish his sense of superiority.
Thats odd. Whenever I tried to take someone even 10 levels higher than me out, I did no damage at all and instantly got my ass hammered with 3 swings.

50 IQ nightmare thinks that intelligence = knowing specific game mechanics, not to even mention that I never said levels don't give HP. I think he might be even dumber than Tovi
That is because you are not on xants level of obviouslyThat's called projecting. You being shit in everything you do doesn't make others as bad as you.awesomebullshit level of playing field.

That's called projecting.
I love that the combat, especially on higher difficulties, is take-and-deal-high-damage. Much more interesting than 20 minute fights.
I dunno I playing on hard and can feel pretty dam grindy sometimes, the wild hunt guy fight was seriously like 35 minutes of me tickling him. Thats partly because he heals up like twice, also by time I get to him my sword is down to ~80% after tickling him to death its probs like 50%.That fight was super annoying.
I'm not so sure they really considered and balanced for the fact that hard difficulty = more enemy hp = more durablity loss.

Wild hunt guy? You mean the werewolf? Cause thats the only enemy I can recall that regens health superfast. You have to play it smart. Use poison sword, thunderbolt potion, igni sign and some bomb and he goes down easy. Each enemy has a very massive weakness, which you need to take advantage of. I had very hard time with those spectrebosses. I gave them no damage at all and I couldnt figure out what I did wrong. Turns out you had to do that trap sign and lure it in there. It loses its spectre form inside it and you can kick the shit out of it easy. If its not a level issue, its the issue of applying the right tactics to the right kind of monster. Which I really like about this game.That's why you actually read the beastiary before you go into "boss fights" - it tells you the weaknesses.

Especially useful when using oils.
Keira is real help in taht fight. Her spells do no damage, but they stagger enemies. Still that that regen is real douchebaggery. I had to resort to rolling after every strike, wait for her to stagger him, then hit him and occasionally throwing in igni, rinse and repeat.
personally not sure why I anyone would use any sign in combat other than quen. quen quen quen quen quen.

Igni on horseman is all one needd.
Works on wolves as well!
Why would you use fire on horse? Aard knocks them off for an insta kill
Funny, igni does the same thing...You obviously haven't fought a Golem yet. Aard makes them kneel for a moment... easy 4 hits in. :)
Never thought about using aard, as it normally barely staggers enemies. Thought horses would not even flinch...

Yrden for Wraiths is a must.
Axii feels a bit useless but that's the only one really.
I actually use all of them more or less.
Yea, just tried it and it actually is very useful for crowd control and gives mentioned 1 hit kills. It actually good :shock:
On a different note: Those 3 witches in the swamp with the children? That is great great character design if I ever saw one. They actually gave me a shiver :D

Am I alone thinking the Milfguardians really are the good guys here, especially considering their name, clean shaving and bowing techniques?
Game is gorgeous running on SLI 760s. There doesn't seem to be too much micro-stuttering although I'm fairly sure there is. I'm not getting good performance with Ultra settings at 1440p, but the game is stunning with a mix of high and medium settings anyway so I don't really mind. Seems strange considering what other people have said though.

Like Sequel said, the movement controls can be frustrating. Whenever Geralt moves too much or too little, or the horse gets stuck galloping against a fucking tree, I pull my hair out.Yea, it can be annoying at times. The walk toggle helps but it's far from being good.

I now strongly believe this game uttely wiped the floor with all other games similar to it. Even the fucking minigame inside it is a massive hit. Better than anything Ubisoft, EA or Bethesda has ever produced.Bethesda can hardly take credit for Dishonored.
Okay mybe not Bethesda. Fallout and Dishonored are very dope.
The atmosphere seems a bit shifty. One moment you're roaming the wilderness, feels all sandboxy a stuff. Next thing you know you're stuck in a Skyrim-like dungeon.What... do you mean by that? Dungeons are part of the sandbox world.
Molly I basically started roaming and exploring and came across the quest, like I said good loot and I didn't have to fight a lvl 33 boss. Only just entered oxenfurt and am leaving the witches till laterYeah but that sucks, I have to go back for the boss later now....

Turns out I can play nicely with everything on Ultra, AA Off, foliage distance on low and most of the post-processing bullshit turned off (except Bloom as it actually makes things beautiful)This thing is pretty neat if you want to optimize and are not sure what some options do or if they affect performance. http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-graphics-performance-and-tweaking-guide
This thing is pretty neat if you want to optimize and are not sure what some options do or if they affect performance. http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-graphics-performance-and-tweaking-guide
What I have learned about post-processing is that light shafts is very nice and nearly free, though there is a spotty texture in there that made me think that my screen was dirty. Bloom is pretty cool and nearly free. Chromic Abberation is fancy language for having colours not line up correctly and thus creating blur and distortion, no idea why anyone would want that. Vignette are just darkened screen corners which are free and I am very surprised to find that I actually like the effect. All in all this game is really well optimized. On my dodgy 3,5 years old 400 euro PC I actually have a reasonably pretty game. With my settings though there do seem to be very pronounced lines, as if I have the sharpening effect turned on, but I don't and I don't really understand what else is causing it.
any else on AMD? whats your performance like? for me game runs like absolute arse, unsure how much of it is my pc's age or just shoddy optimisation.
But seems to me that computer game system requirements are going up way more than the graphics improvements warrant.
Don't even get me started on the fucking fall damage in this game, holy christ. I've jumped on a ledge and have died, I've dropped 4-5 feet MAX and lost 3 quarters of my health, other times I've fallen from 10+ feet and have taken nothing it's so fucking inconsistent it's unbelievable.You can press jump button before landing to do a roll lol.
anyone tried flood of anger yet? looks super OP in combo with other adren stuff. I was thinking of respeccing from combat to signs spec for fun, but flood of anger surely makes points in signs obseleteAny other way to obtain the potion other than buying it from the witch?

It's actually quite handy, if you're swarmed by enemies and don't manage to dodge/roll out of the way. Knocks them back, or stuns them so you have some time and space for yourself to think up on your next move.
with 3/3 exploding quen, which seems a bit pointless never really noticed knockback or damage doing much, maybe because sign intensity is too low. infact don't really see how "sign intensity" benefits an unupgraded quen at all because on hard difficulties you're rarely going to be taking less than what 7% hp to not trigger shield.

its one of the first things I got, but like I said don't think its that great. I mean I spam quen so its ok I guess but better to get 100% damage reduction when dodging for example. maybe @100%+ quen intensity it will actually knock people to the floor but I've not seen it.I will definetely respec. I've managed to start at the hardest difficulty then put it on Blood And Broken bones, when I got to Velen and finally in Novigrad settled for Story and sword...I might be in a hurry. Only found like 5 places of power, got some nice cards, but all in all I haven't ventured into the countryside too much. Maybe a second playthrough. Don't know, yet. Or do you think it'd be better to start anew, right now?
Broken bones seems like a good difficulty level. The fact that meditation doesn't heal forces you to manage resources somewhat.True, but only 3 Swallows? The fact is I am even bored having to meditate to refill them, can't imagine going through that Alchemy menu to make new ones after every fight..

Yeah, Broken Bones seriously gets too easy after level 13+ when you have good gear. Or, well, depends on the suggested level you're doing. Death March for anything your level or under, Broken Bones for 5+ levels, "Just the Story" for 15-20+ levels seems good.
Dunno, I wouldn't say the starter armor and the pants I found fifteen minutes into the game is minmaxing.
That's one thing though, are there seriously only two good looking armor sets in TW3? The starter one and Bear one(s). The rest look either retarded, too colorful or are like full plate.
This so much. Every single armor I crafted or bought looked like Warband's Beer Belly Plate and that just doesn't fit a Witcher, at all.It's because of the story. They shouldn't have made it open world, if they were going to make such a linear story. I would be much more content with Geralt just wandering around doing "side quests" like killing regular monsters, saving children, what have you with something big once in a while. Say you go to Velen. You go to the first village, get some contracts, level up a bit. Then you happen to stumble upon some other quest which leads you to Oxenfurt. Go to Oxenfurt. Find other quests. Some time passes, maybe you upgraded your equip, suddenly a dragon attacks the city.. and such, not this ridicolous heist after Ciri. They could've started the game in Kaer Morhen, too. First quest train Ciri, then have her go into the world...I don't know.
Oh yeah and apparently there's a problem with Kepler GPUs so I might get improved performance with the next driver update.
As for the leveling system, I think the system itself is good. Scaling like in TES games sucks. The problem lies in the fact that the actual differences between levels are huge. It doesn't make any sense from a lore point of view. Endregas are basic enemies in TW2 but somehow will destroy you at the beginning of TW3. In fact the whole "get hopelessly raped if you don't have the stats" thing is silly. It's okay to learn new techniques, potions, get mutagens etc. it's not okay to transition from weakling to superman. Outside of the lore the reasons to avoid this are even more obvious, as it means needlessly restricting players and creating "left out" content that becomes much too easy as you progress.
I think one game which did that about right was Dark Souls indeed, even though personally I think increasing stats should have been weaker still.
I found a monster which has no level. I was gona leave it for later since its way too stronk and I couldn't even scratch it. but theres no fast travel nearby, So I turned difficulty down from highest to lowest, and it still 1 shots me LOL> be me
Griffin set looks nice :(
I like it... :oops:

I thought the game was lost when the beard was forcefully removed from his face. I was like 'wow he's just gonna let them cut off his manhood, might as well end the game now'. GG devs only 2 hours of gameplay

That actually looks much cooler than the stupid heraldic beer belly I have, I give you that.It's the best armor aside from the starter one I think.
Seems to me like 1.04 improved grass a bit again. Doesn't bother me at all anymore.That reminds me, after installing new drivers I can play on Ultra without much framerate issues.(only aproaching the Hierarch square and speeding on a horse through the woods makes any noticable drops.)
Oh yeah, and updating to it dropped a lot of people's texture quality to low, so good thing to make sure yours is set at what you want it to be after applying patch.

Jup, all armors kinda look like crap on Gerald. Finally masterworked my cat armor. This is what the best(afaik) light armor in the game looks like:Bear looks great in all its forms. But you don't need to "make a heavy armor character"... just get the best light attack parts, grab the Bear talent, grab some strong attack talents and you're done. Now you can use both attacks effectively.Meh. Bit underwhelming might I add. Would recommend respecing and making a heavy armor character and going for bear armor. Which probably looks the best in its final form.(click to show/hide)
Except no 25% damage bonus for the light attacks you would gain when using full light armor also really crappy stamina regain which cripples your chances to spam quen more. Also strong attacks suck when fighting anybody who isnt holding block for very long. But yea, overall, you dont need to make a heavy armor char. There isnt that much difference.Yes, but 25% isn't that big a loss overall, light attack is still great with the tree upgraded and considering all the mutagen boni (what do they add up to, 100%+ possibly) the 25 isn't a gamechanger. Especially when you get it back in strong attack damage. Strong attack definitely has uses even against people that don't hold block for very long, in particular if you've upgraded the tree. My plan is to 100% unlock both strong and fast attack trees.
btw ATI beta driver came out for witcher 3 and seems to have improved my framerate phenominally. On medium before I think I was about ~25 fps in novigrad, now I'm at ~33.Downloading it now. I play around 45-55 fps in novigrad but don't like sudden FPS drops.
Just started the game, lvl 3 so far, playing on Death march difficulty and get my ass handed to me. Dark souls seems to be almost like a walk in the park in comparison with this game. But I like it, really feel that I need to prepare myself before every fight.
Hardest part of death march is the fucking fist fights. Especially when you die in a fist fight where you can't draw the swords off you back for no fucking reason. I mean if you are unarmed in a boxing match then fine, but if some guy is trying to kill me its stupid I cant pull a sword off my back and smack off his head.The game is really random with this, btw. Sometimes you can just draw your swords and the aggressors will flee/give up/die. Sometimes not. And it's not consistent at all either, Geralt gets ambushed by 5 people, too chivalrous to use Signs or swords for some reason... and other times, not.
I like the combat in general, but what is shown in this video annoys me sometimes (random automatic target switch):You basically switch targets by movement keys+looking their direction(like having them in the center of the screen), you'll get the hang of it.
Been doing way too much of the Gwent cards questline.Does the dragon have any special ability?
Can now play as Nilfgaard with a lot of high grade scores and 2 or 3 heroes.
My Northern Realm deck is pretty beastly, 3 heroes, lots of specials and a dragon
Does the dragon have any special ability?
Where can you get respec potions if Keira's met an unfortunate accident in your game?
You basically switch targets by movement keys+looking their direction(like having them in the center of the screen), you'll get the hang of it.
I have a question: is there a way to change targets once you lock-on with mouse and keyboard?yes, I rebound it to tab, its lock on target in the keybind menu, I think that's it anyways. I think it cycles thru targets when pressed. I don't like that you cant lock on a target though til the target sees and attacks you.
yes, I rebound it to tab, its lock on target in the keybind menuBut can you change the target seamlessly or do you have to hit Tab again and again? That's my question.
But can you change the target seamlessly or do you have to hit Tab again and again? That's my question.You have to hit tab or whatever key you have it bound to everytime to change target. I don't quite understand what you mean by seamlessly though.
By the way it's still far from perfect.

The dodging DR reduction thing seemed useless so I went full strong/fast build, makes the combat a bit more fun when you vary the attacks (and it's worth it) instead of just smashing mouse 1.
its the bloody level system. your probably better off doing only main quests on 1 character, then doing only side quests on 2nd character, etc. otherwise everything just becomes a complete cakewalk because your higher level than everything
Even on Death march difficulty? I've heard somewhere that you gain less xp/level slower on Death march. Dunno if that's true.
Maybe if you'd stop overanalyzing every little tiny bit of the game mechanics and avoid min-max'ing and instead went for a less specialized and more versatile character build, you wouldn't feel "overleveled"... just a thought...
I hope they make a mod where, not only Geralt is deadlier with his attacks, but also the enemies. As in two swings could kill a human enemy, and two swings could kill Geralt as well. Hardcore!

Have these been photoshopped?No idea.
"If the consoles are not involved there is no Witcher 3 as it is,” said the studio’s co-founder Marcin Iwinski, definitively. “We can lay it out that simply. We just cannot afford it, because consoles allow us to go higher in terms of the possible or achievable sales; have a higher budget for the game, and invest it all into developing this huge, gigantic world.
“Developing only for the PC: yes, probably we could get more [in terms of graphics] as there would be nothing else – they would be so focused, like if we would develop only on Xbox One or PlayStation 4. But then we cannot afford such a game.”
I'm unsure if I should believe that statement or put it under PR blabber.

Would've loved to play TW3 as a member of the Scoi'atel or something. Geralt's boring, from personality to backstory to how the world reacts to him; there's some "omg hes mutant" but it doesn't go beyond some spitting and whatever, like, it can be totally ignored. He's like an observer to the world, no real motivation or belonging to anything. As a scoi'atel there'd be so much more stuff and agency and motivation to do things instead of just "I kill monsters guys."I agree, they should've made Geralt a npc like Conan is in AoC, and let you as a player create your own member of the witcher school rising up through the ranks, like how skyrim let you create your own character- regardless that they were all "Dragonborn".
Go to bed with Lambert is my fav option.... :shock:
The amount of references in this game...That's a little too much, I think.
Just found a sky cell with a dead dwarf that has a disfigured face and Geralt says "shame he didn't know how to fly."

Welp, I guess we could just use The Witcher 3 to illustrate the rest of our #tropesvswomen series because it includes all the sexist tropes!

In The Witcher 3 you get to play as Ciri for short segments but be warned enemies will yell nasty gendered insults at her while she fights.
Feminist Frequency @femfreq May 30
The Witcher 3 does to Ciri what Arkham City did to Catwoman. Thugs yell “bitch” and “whore” and sexually harass both women as you play them.
Feminist Frequency @femfreq May 30
Also the "it's realistic for enemies to sexually harass female characters” excuse is nonsense in fantasy games filled with ghouls & wraiths.
Feminist Frequency @femfreq May 30
Dear gaming industry: If you want to appeal to women maybe consider not having your game yell “bitch" and "whore” at us while we’re playing.

Enemies in Witcher 3 yell gendered insults at the playable female character but insults thrown at the male lead are decidedly not gendered.

Enemies call Geralt “freak” & “mutant’ due to fictional prejudice against magic. When they call Ciri “cunt” it’s rooted in real life sexism.

Games like The Witcher 3 use sexism & sexual violence for “gritty" world-building, presenting it as regrettable but natural and inevitable.
Feminist Frequency @femfreq 3h3 hours ago
In fact, Witcher 3 is a particularly egregious example of this problem. The game repeatedly uses brutal sexual violence as window dressing.

If fantasy fiction is serious about addressing oppressions like sexism then the narrative should be focused on struggles around that issue.

My biggest gripe with the game (playing with kb/m) is the targetting. Switching targets is retarded as fuck, almost never selects the one closest to me. Unless I'm doing something terribly wrong.
In short: I have a problem with how TW3 manages "lootable" stuff..(click to show/hide)
That isnt too wrong doe, but that is the point. That the people are intolerant against absoultely everyone. It represents racism, nationalism, anti-religious messages, sexism etc etc. If they removed all that, the world would be Candyland.People like Sarkeesian don't understand that fantasy needs inner consistency as well and that there's a reason we're not playing pink squares adventuring in a land of yellow circles. The point of most all fantasy is taking our world and inserting it somewhere else, or vice versa, which creates the "magical" feeling instead of just being bizarre and absurd if they made nothing make sense. This is especially true in the Witcher setting where the conjunction of the spheres happens, it's just "our world + magic and monsters."
There is a key for "change combat mode"... what it the point ? Can't see a fucking change when I press it ! :shock:
Tbh, I kinda thought about it aswell. I've always considered Witcher in general to be anything but demeaning towards women. The women are much more capable, characterized and independent, than probably any other actual game(that wasnt directly built for femnazis) ever made. And yet still someone manages to find SOMETHING. There is no pleasing some people. Whatever you do their group and the people they represent are always harrased.
Well, it took me a few hours to figure out that double tapping WSAD lets you make dodge. Lack of info about it is ridiculous.an oldschool feature
Gameplay wise I think the fact stealth is missing is a huge minus, really limits your options and it's kinda stupid you just have to waltz into huge groups of bandits and monsters etc. "Realistically" a Witcher's #1 method to kill single monsters and complete contracts should be stealth-kills.
Well, it took me a few hours to figure out that double tapping WSAD lets you make dodge. Lack of info about it is ridiculous.Lol wat, I didn't know that either, not sure if thats better than using alt though.
"Realistically" you cant stealthkill animals. Ever heard of hunters who sneak up on deer and slit their throats open? The very reason you need a steroidbuffed Witcher to solve your monsterproblems in the first place is because monsters/animals have hightened senses, not only speed, strenght and giant claws.Just because you have hightened senses aswell does not make you a ninja. "Realistically" its not really possible to sneak up on them. Stealthkilling bandits and people? Sure. Monsters? I will never believe it.Witchers have heightened senses just like the monsters they hunt. More importantly, they have access to other crap, like potions. In one of the quests, Geralt drinks a potion to conceal his scent from a hag that has extremely good smell, and hides in its lair. Witchers also move more quietly than normal humans.

Does anyone else have Geralt pull out the correct sword for the right mob automatically but then at times, quite a few times actually, not pull any sword til pressing the key to pull it several times whilst damn monsters are beating you down? I want to think its some kind of interrupt from the mob but it still happens even when I get away from the mob a bit, and the fact that sometimes He will automatically draw his sword on his own when a fight starts and sometimes wont makes me think its a big or something.
Since they stick pretty close to the books and their characters, I don't think Geralt is sneaky in any of the books either... so...
Besides, he is so much more advanced than mere humans, there is simply no need for him to be sneaky. Just waltz in and slay 'em all... like in that trailer...

So many great looking armors. Shame that in game there's so few :(
You mean walk in, fold arms, grunt some & then cut them in half?They're not your real friends, obviously. Disregard their advice.
:D god i love this game. I even considered applying some of Geralds Dialog skillz to RL - my friends told me to stop though. :(
I guess they were holding back some of them to still have blending sets for the free dlcs + addons.

I was holding off on Witcher so I could play it in all its splendor. And that's finally going to happen on Monday. Here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487142) is the exact card I'll be using. I know I'm pretty much a beta tester by getting this card but I'm still pretty hyped. :vYou know the AMD stuff is coming out in like 10 days right?
You know the AMD stuff is coming out in like 10 days right?This card? I don't think so. They don't have any reason to drop it considering it's their premium card and it's the same price the GTX 980 used to be when it was released. Are you sure you're not confusing this card with a GTX 980 because those DID just drop, actually. Also why would I want to buy AMD?
It'll probably drop in price.
which quest was this?
done every quest/contract I can see on my map, and don't remember that.
[...]Told ya!
By the way, using Axii's Puppet skill is hilarious.
Is Iorveth in the game?
Being an open world game, The Witcher 3 is prone to exploits and glitches. But this little fix, added with today's patch, takes the cake. In order to keep players from exploiting a particular money glitch (by killing cows, meditating until they respond and reaping the loot they drop), the "Deploys the Bovine Defense Force Initiative" part of the patch makes sure no cheaters get away with it. Now, when you try the exploit, the game spawns a massive, certain death-level monster.
That candle part had me on the floor. :D
Now that's a creative anti-cheat :DThey just made it worse though, people are using that monster to farm red mutagens
Reviews have lavished praise, perfect scores and awards on it. While some reviews have mentioned issues such as sexism, none I read mentioned another crucial misstep: Not a single human in the game is a person of color.
You’ll often hear "based on mythology" as well as "historically accurate," in the same breath, even though it can’t be both. If it’s based on mythology, then it’s fiction. If it’s historically accurate, then we must talk about our ancestors’ legendary fights with sirens on shores of Arg Skellige.
It is incredibly unwelcoming to be shown the door by the same people who open it for fantasy creatures. Gamer culture needs to improve its diversity — not of magical beings, but of the people who are part of its culture. That is, if it wishes to be a safe, open, tolerant space for everyone — regardless of race.
It should be mentioned the game deals with "racism," but other races literally means different species: Elves, dwarves and other non-humans face bigotry.
Indeed, it shows again that humans are white humans and everyone else is non-human and oppressed. I’m not against racism being depicted; the game actually shows racism and bigotry as bad. But even Elves have the opportunity to exist. People of color don’t.
Again: This is literal dehumanising of people of color. We are relegated to non-human species, their treatment is supposed to mimic real-world racist policies. This sci-fi/fantasy trope of dealing with racism by showing inter-species treatment could work — if all the humans weren’t all white.
If anything, making us short, bearded white Scottish men, or very white, pointy-eared thin people reinforces how dismissed we are — by not even being considered human.
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the newest installment of the award-winning fantasy video game series, is hyping itself as the most racist game ever.
In this most recent trailer for the game, the theme of racism is repeatedly mentioned.
There are two ways to look at this: either racism is included in the game to lecture people about racism, or they are picking up on the fact that #Gamergate folks think racism is cool. The fact that the game is developed by a Polish company, CD Projekt RED, and based on a Polish novel series by a non-Jewish Pole implies that it is probably the latter.
http://www.polygon.com/2015/6/3/8719389/colorblind-on-witcher-3-rust-and-gamings-race-problem
That’s why whitewashing — casting a white actor to play a character of color — is not the same as race-bending — casting a black actor to play a white character.
As Anjali Patel highlights: "Whitewashing takes over the limited space people of color have to exist in the entertainment industry as complex, multifaceted individuals, and then shuts them out completely.
"Whereas: "Racebending... counters that, in a way. It demands a space for people of color to exist in franchises where they are severely underrepresented."
One of the things i find most ironic is that they are pretending to preach multi-culturalism... whilst attacking a Polish game studio and a Polish writer for basing their work in their own culture...
That's sort of the Soviet version of "multi-culturalism", aka no-culture, where actual individual cultures are diluted and mashed into a gray, identity-less blob. Soviets did this by killing off artists, poets and cultural workers, whilst trying to erase national identities and languages. These fucks are doing it by hypocritically calling everyone racist and trying to white-guilt Eastern Europeans of all people. :mad:
As Oberyn said, have some decency and archive this shit: https://archive.is/MuLl6
Also, the author is comically, openly racist. And I do mean the actual real world race-based-discrimination kind of racism, not the tumblr variant:
I.e. it' s fine if a black person plays a white role, but the reverse of that is turboracist.
Makes me think of LotR where they cant be accused of similar racism cos Return of the King features a person of colour... you can spot him cos he's riding a giant elephant, covered in tattoos with bulging white eyes going 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, ahahahaha, me like crush skull! Bongo bongo!'. Also his kind are referred to as the 'wicked men', and they removed the scene where Faramir felt bad about killing a whole load of them.
If only Witcher 3 was as culturally sensitive as that... Instead they raise issues of race, discrimination and intolerance without filling their damn quotas of 21st Century western Europe demographics! For shame!
The cunts whining about this represent maybe 0.01 of the people buying and playing the game. Any game devs bending over backwards for these fanatics constantly trying to insert their political dogma in media are wasting their time and money.
Of course when you have ppl dumb enough to keep giving Polygon and Kotaku and all the other utterly useless, obsolete and superfluous "gaming" websites their clicks, it's never going to stop. These places are staffed entirely by culture warriors who believe their humanities degrees are absolute and unassailable moral guidelines, that they have a right, nay a duty, to spread the Good Word. The only reason they write about video games is because video games have become such a gigantic industry with such a lot of reach. They could give two shits about actual video games, they only see it as a useful medium to wage their unending culture war, against the various 'isms which are their equivalent of cardinal sins.
The real irony is that gamers as a whole are and always have been "left-wing" as fuck, and the people attacking their hobby were traditionally the "right-wing" traditionalists and conservatives. In fact the criticisms leveled at people who identify as "gamers" haven't changed at all, merely the type of people it's coming from.
TL;DR: It's a political religion and they're proselytizing. Protip: don't link to clickbait. You're feeding them.
Tsk, you obviously aren't up to date on the jargon. In the 70's the american academics from whom this entire delusional ideology spawned had to find a way to justify and legitimize the black supremacist groups such as the Black Panthers (again, note the deliberate ignorance of anything outside the US). They did this by redefining the social "science" definition of racism. Hatred of "white" people can never be racism, it is merely discrimination. Racism is always institutional and systemic. Therefore, black people can never be racist towards white people, because they lack power in any institutions and systems. Of course "institutional" and "systemic" here are meaningless buzzwords, since even in the US there are no racist political institutions, haven't been since the KKK had political power in the South, in fact the exact opposite is true, there are dozens, even hundreds of mechanisms at various government levels specifically designed for the exact opposite, but reality has never been a barrier (I'm not even going to bring up the fact that literally the most powerful institutional position in the entire country is held by a half black man put there by a white majority). There is an undefinable, nebulous, and ever present racism in anything where white people are a majority, their belief in this is as inescapable as the religious belief in original sin. White people are always racist, "POC" (the ironic amalgam of every single non-western culture and ethnicity in one monolithic group) are always victims of this racism and can never be culpable of it themselves, and if they are it is usually a justified reaction to their oppression.
Yes, that's a perfect impression of one of these stupid dishonest cunts criticizing a piece of media with their political ideology on the forefront of their minds. Good job. One guy on an elephant with tatoos is totally a racist stereotype. All the other guys with badass golden plate armor were obviously an oversight, they should've been dressed in loincloths and stonetipped spears. You should probably mention how orcs are totally an analogy to black people too, that's the usual goto.In fact I'm fairly certain I've already seen you say something along those lines on these forums before.I went and looked and it was Smoothrich. I apologize for mistaking you for him.
I agree with one thing, a hugely important scene from the books is when Sam and Frodo are trying to enter through the Black Gate, and Sam starts thinking about these "evil" men, and how different they are exactly to other men, and comes to the conclusion that they aren't. Of course someone who never read the books can safely ignore this and pontificate at length how Tolkien was just a white old shitlord. Also completely ignoring the evil numenoreans, the pirate guys, who are "white" as far as we know, and the northerners who also served Sauron, who have slavic type flavour to their descriptions.

Feminist Frequency @femfreq 5. kesäkuuta
Portraying women of color as exotic, hypersexual and animalistic like the succubi in The Witcher 3 is part of a very long racist tradition.
Feminist Frequency @femfreq 5. kesäkuuta
Found the ONLY women of color in The Witcher 3. Hypersexual animal hybrids with tails, horns and "tribal" body paint.
What makes this even more hilarious is that she's talking about "women of color" while completely ignoring that there are no men of color. Feminists and racism-shouters, two most retarded and hypocritical groups ever.
"feminists"
Get a 980ti Hybrid. Those things are cool.
At this point most self-described feminists actually think like that so whatev. The word itself is not worth saving anyway. It never made sense that something called "feminism" would be pro-equality.

TIL cmp is a feminist
Most? Of the Tumblr population maybe.
I think you'd be surprised. Academia in the concerned "fields" is beyond repair. In fact it's the main reason that shit ever took off, back in the seventies.
At this point its just not tumblr. Its mostly everybody related to these "fields". People who self-consciously demand more respect and authority for their groups and not equality, muzzle the voices of the people who really do only seek equality.
I think the best solution would be to take every sidequest you find in the game, even the ones that are waaay above your level. Than start doing the main quest to level up properly and often check your questlist if you are leveled up enough to do a sidequest. Oh and if you get some sidequest right after finishing a main quest part, do it instantly.?? :shock:?? :rolleyes:
I've seen a quest require lvl 6 after the previous one in the chain required lvl 10, so maybe it's just a mistake. Anyway, you get a bit of xp with grey quests now, since the last patch. Most quests are ok I think.This.
What I do is do green quests of the lowest level first, because, once you level up and they become grey, you'll get less xp, and red ones can be too hard.
It's funny that this supposed to be misogynistic Witcher is based on books in which you can read this:Classic misogynist propaganda, make women appear evil and condescending towards men so that men are given a reason to hate women, books like this are just teaching men to be misogynists.I have nothing against men. In fact, I love men, and life without them I cannot imagine. But ... After a moment's thought ... I believe this to be a wise concept. Men are mentally unstable, too sensitive to their emotions and you cannot count on them in times of crisis.”(click to show/hide)
“It is true.” admitted Margarita Laux-Antille calmly. “We constantly compare the results of the of the Aretuza adepts to those boys from the school in Ban Ard and the comparison falls invariably in favor of the girls. Magic requires patience, delicacy, intelligence, common sense and tenacity. It needs one to bear calmly and humbly their setbacks and failures. Men lose to ambition. They always want what they know is impossible and unattainable, and they do not notice what is possible.”
“Enough, enough, enough.” Síle pouted, though not hiding her smile. “There is nothing worse than scientifically manufactured chauvinism, shame on you, Rita! Although ... I agree also with the unisex structure of the proposed convention... or, if preferred, Lodge. As we understand this is for the future of magic, and magic is too serious a matter to entrust its fate to men.”
“If I may,” Francesca Findabair said in her melodious voice, “I would like us to stop the rambling speculation about the nature of the domination of our gender, this harbors no discussion.

I've almost done every solution I could find on how to fix this. None have worked. I was hoping I'd get to play this game but NOPE.
My game used to crash every 5-20 minutes before the last patch (1.05) unless I underclocked my 970 and increased its power limit. Now it's all good, with my 970 untouched, as long as I play in fullscreen mode. If I play in borderless fullscreen, it crashes sooner or later.
And since I tried different things when it used to crash a lot, I still use GTAV drivers (350.12) and not Witcher 3 drivers (352.86), and the game is smooth and maybe it has to do with the crashing as well.
It's not just Witcher 3. Computer is crashing/getting tdrs in every heavy 3d application. So far cRPG and Crusader Kings 2 work fine. Thanks doe!Weak PSU?
Weak PSU?
Seriously though, I've played quite some hours now and the sidequests just don't end. Why can't they be more boring? My main quest is at like fucking level 7. I want to progress the story ;_;

Doesn't stop to amuse me how CDPR could get most of things so right and at the same time some of them so wrong. They did understand that fetch quests don't add anything of value to the game, if anything they make games worse, so they get rid of them completely. And still didn't figure out that the same rule applies to looting and items.
Did anyone leave Yennefer to bang Triss instead?
That's what happens when you add open world mechanics to a game that didn't need it, and don't have enough resources to populate it with meaningful/unique content.
Can't have it all, I guess. It still beats pretty much any RPG released in the last decade.
I find you get super OP after level 15ish anyway and it doesn't really matter what you do, everything works.
Like in many newer games normal difficulty seems like what used to be easy difficulty, especially if you take quests with the lowest levels first before higher level ones.

The cave Keira brings you to in early game which I thought would be a short mission, which was the reason I didnt buy any food or prepare myself, was probably one of the hardest parts in the game for me.
What about this messed up kiddo od Red Baron? TOugh bastard he was.
I'm level 16 in Novigrad, doing the treasure quest along with a bunch of side quests and have to say nothing there is even remotely challenging.
You really should increase difficulty to death march. Everything then becomes a challenge. Being able to randomly meditate in the midst of a quest isn't even so much relief either, because you aren't regenerating hp during meditation.What difference does it make when you regenerate Swallow potions anyways? None.
What difference does it make when you regenerate Swallow potions anyways? None.
Plenty. It took me a while to finally brew and start using potions (I had to run from most fights and was having a hard time gathering ingredients and resources). I didn't also immediately realize that stocks were replenished using alcohol in inventory. Before that, it was all about consuming what little food I could find.Overdriven is level 16, so presumably he has more alcohol than he can ever use. You not realizing that meditating replenishes stocks also seems to have no bearing on the difficulty, considering everyone else knows it by now.
Swallow alone isn't immensely helpful as it only slowly regenerates hp. It was only after I upgraded it to be available in batches of 4 and also brewed white raffard's decoction that potions made life easier.
for now settling on a pure swords build with both Whirl and Rend, Fleet Footed, Razor Focus and Resolve.

A massive open world game like this should have an auto run key, I'm destroying my fingers.You mean auto-sprint?
ohh, that one. yepp, then i was in the jail, too.
geralt gives a hit to avoid this (never take a detour to a tavern :P )
well, my version was that we have nearly won the fist fight, then someone had drawn a knife and things turned ugly.
Not for sprinting, just a key that you can press once and your character will run by himself until prompted otherwise. Like in other open world games.There is also a key for that. Toggle Always Run or some shit. It was added with one of the patches but key kinda feels unresponsive. Sometimes toggles it, sometimes not.
I mean a key that makes Geralt move without you having to press any keys.If you have a gaming keyboard, you could macro it.
A massive open world game like this should have an auto run key, I'm destroying my fingers.
Well, I think it's because you started playing the game with the minimap on and got used to it. In the game series Gothic you had to find people with very little help and it was fun.No, it's because it was made with the minimap in mind. Otherwise they would've scripted asking-for-directions conversations everywhere. It makes no sense that I have to explore a massive area only to find the guy that I was asked to urgently help because the asker wouldn't tell me where to go.
What's the name of the battle music where they're all like le le le le le ? I fought the archgriffon while listening to it. It pumped me up. Every time the archgriffon attacked, I'd be all like, "le le le le le le" and then dodge successfully.
Your tip works pretty good. I am just tired of clicking through the cutscenes everytime I die.Pretty sure the sweetspot to roll was exactly as he starts materializing behind you. A left or right roll should then make him miss. Don't start doing series of rolls after that, but center him again and wait for his next try.
GTX - try again Tomorrow.
Personally I prefer the music in Skellige. Very little of those annoying female LEL LELE LELEL ELE or AI IAIA IAIAI shit found in every fkn fantasy game or movie.
Fucking Imlerith makes me GTX. I can't even roll as fast as he teleports.
Btw Vibe wtf is going on in that gifVibes man.
Level requirements on items in RPGs generally feel rigid, like playing on rails. You never get that feeling of truly stumbling onto a great treasure, through luck or skill.
Ties in with my only real complaint of the game, the whole leveling thing. They really should have done it differently. No level 35 guards, no level requirements on items (what's the point of even finding a legendary sword then), quests not so strictly level-locked, etc.

Pretty sure it was. I had chicken breast with fresh chili, red and green and yellow bell pepper, onions, garlic and wild rice. And water.Will try. It would be thematic, at least. Sort of a Witcher potion.
Slice the chicken, then fry it in some vegetable oil, take the chicken off then fry the vegetables in the same oil for ca. 5 min. Put the chicken back in and pour some boiling water from the rice into the mix ideally with a bouillon chicken cube and let it simmer for 5-10 min. Add salt and pepper.

How is it different? Does it change the controls in a big way? Have to relearn anything?It's minor but noticeable. It's mostly felt when you run from side to side or do a turn, Geralt will react much faster, previously there's was an animation where he slows down a bit, I guess for realism or for it to look better but which felt clunky. Inertia is also slightly changed, for the better, and you no longer feel like you're steering a vehicle when running forwards. It's no problem adjusting to and it is an improvement overall.
it is an improvement overall.
... but I'd really like to know how the game ends :(
... being quite busy irl these days, I just don't have time to finish the game.
Have to replay in Polish one day, voice fits Geralt well.I strongly disagree. The voice sounds very odd to me coming from Geralt's... well, face.
The Polish guy sounds more mature and weary in a way that he has seen it all and came out mature, collected and somewhat indifferent.Yes, this is the same vibe I get.
PS. I'm a huge fan of audiobooks, have heard them multiple times and in there Geralt is voiced by some other actor, who's by far my most favourite Geralt. So that's kinda annoying for me to hear Rozenek as Geralt, even though objectively he's very good :wink:I've heard many others say the same, are these the Polish or English audio books?
Have to replay in Polish one day, voice fits Geralt well.and now in german :p
I've heard many others say the same, are these the Polish or English audio books?
and now in german :p*stops horse* GRRRRRR
I've heard both of them, but I was talking about polish audiobook, where entire text isn't read by one... nomen omen reader, but every role is voiced by different actor. But I quite like english audiobooks, you can find them on youtube.Should I go for the short story collections before the novels?
*stops horse* GRRRRRRits not grrrrr but brrrrr.
That's enough German for me for the whole week I think, :mrgreen:
It's extremely rare for me to find a female character that I find really interesting in fiction - in fact I can't remember a single one even when trying. I like women so that probably says more about the types of women you mostly see in popular culture.
But Yennefer of Vengerberg is such a character. Strong personality, well-written, intriguing and multifaceted. Composed, intelligent and cultured (if only women had more role models like this). Badass sorceress.
I don't like Yennefer. Except for a few hints of normal here and there she's generally a cold bitch.Same. She took her cold-bitch act way over the top and just became annoying.
The annoying thing about the English version is that it very much feels like playing Batman of Rivia.
Well that only means she's the "badass woman" cliché if you listen to the radfems.'There is a fine line between celebrated tradition tuned to masterstrokes by its crafters and cliche'd demons underneath volcanos', Michael Kirkbride on Morrowind. Hence I wrote 'badass sorceress'. It's a fantasy ARPG after all.
Should I go for the short story collections before the novels?
She isn't a Morrigan-esque character that can only act with contempt and sarcasm to everything and everyone crossing her path.

Next DLC will be New Game +.Sounds good in theory, not sure how it will work out tho...
I just fought Imlerith on my second playthrough and this time I killed him before he even started teleporting. Getting behind his shield with enough stamina and adrenaline you can keep continuously whirling him from the side and back while making sure to circle him (while whirling) as he tries to turn and block you. With decent damage output it can be done in a matter of seconds.
I am really bored of this game. Haven't played it for a while now. I am at where you gotta get little human creature from bloody baron. How long until i can finish the game just by doing main quests?

Witcher 3 really doesn't fail like that.
For me it failed exactly like that. Started very hard, then got progressively easier until there was no challenge whatsoever (on death march). I kind of expected it though, most games are like that nowadays.
I guess that's the inherent problem with everything in video games having level gains these days.

Dragon Age Origins was pretty difficult. Gaxkang was a killer!Everything is difficult to you. I wonder how you manage to dress every morning.

Usually it's your mother.Yeah... she did tell me she works in a mental hospital.
New game plus on death march. Things kill you fast, I recently got to Novigrad. Met some bandits level 44 me 38, I got 1 hit killed by one... Fun times. Quests that are low leveld for you give like 4 XP.
That aint true for me cos i've had a ton more free time this year for gaming and i'm constantly playing the same older games. I think technology has just overreached my desire for sandbox.
I first experienced this as a student when i got skyrim. It was INCREDIBLE for aboutone entirenight of gaming
Which one is Eskel again, the one whining about what a tough life he's had because he's a superhuman or the other one?
NG+ does what it's supposed to - just don't start a NG+ if you're planning to play Hearts of Stone any time soon, it will set the starting level for the expansion at level 60.
Btw. with Hearts of Stone we finally have a simple black leather jacket and gambeson, high boots and gloves for Geralt with no plate or chain, like in the books.

Just got Hearts Of Stone. Unfortunately I don't have any of my old saves, so I will either have to start anew or play the expansion only. Ugh. I was hoping, they would add a new location not just questline.There's no new location? :o
The Sean Daniel Company [SDC], an established American production company - known for ‘The Mummy’ franchise, a new adaptation of ‘Ben-Hur’, which is currently in production, or the television series ‘The Expanse’ – has become Platige Films’ official partner in the preparation of the production of a full-length feature film about Geralt the witcher, the hero of Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels. The film will be based on themes from the short stories ‘The Witcher’ and ‘Lesser Evil’ from ‘The Last Wish’ collection. Tomasz Bagiński, who had been nominated for an Oscar for his film, ‘The Cathedral’, will be the director.
The film will be an introduction to the Witcher’s world and is planned to be the beginning of a series. Thania St. John, an experienced Hollywood scriptwriter, author of such television productions as ‘Grimm’, ‘Chicago Fire’ and ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’, is working on the script as well as on its film and television continuation.
The film is intended for international distribution, its world premiere is planned for 2017. Jarosław Sawko and Piotr Sikora will be the producers from Platige Films’ side and Sean Daniel and Jason Brown from the SDC’s side.
witchers are like glorified plumbers, wandering around the countryside and taking shit from plebians they service for a few coins.
But then guilds ect would be out of place. How would a Witcher fit into a guild. In some sense they almost are that on their own.
What I don't understand is how more people don't recognise Geralt or shit themselves in fear rather than fight him, the guy has a 15 power Gwent hero card in his name!!!!!!! He must be strong.
Also, how can Djikstra + others be any good at being subtle? They have their face posted on a Gwent card that everyone plays with 'SPY' written on it.
Erm, I need your help. Could you send me unedited input.settings file from Documents/The Witcher 3 folder?
If you also think Geralt is too much of a pretty boy now, and not pale enough, two mods I can recommend;Nice. Using both?
Geralt Weathered Face
http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/729/?
And Lore-friendly Witchers
http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/390/?
Only using the weathered face mod right now, but you can use them together. I used the lore-friendly witchers mod previously, except for the eyes part, I think they were a bit too much and also not part of the book canon.
Added weathered face stuff into my TW3 folder, TW3 won't launch anymore, fml.
Added weathered face stuff into my TW3 folder, TW3 won't launch anymore, fml.Did you create a folder inside 'The Witcher 3' folder named 'mods' and put the 'modweathered' folder inside that?
Did you create a folder inside 'The Witcher 3' folder named 'mods' and put the 'modweathered' folder inside that?No, I put the "content" from inside "modweathered" to the TW3 folder with "content", and replaced the existing files... guess I shouldn't have done that.
Using any other mods? If you're using anything outdated it will also crash the game.
It happens naturally, depending on the light source Geralt's iris will expand or contract.
If anyone wants to upload their newest patch+HoS The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\content blob0.bundle, metadata.store and texture.cache, they would be a pretty swell guy. 10 KB, 1 KB and 4145 KB, respectively.
r0fl did u pirate the gamehttp://forum.melee.org/and-all-the-other-things-floating-around-out-there/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt/msg1184527/#msg1184527
Steam - repair your game, lol.GOG. :mad:
What are you, non-steam peasant?
If anyone wants to upload their newest patch+HoS The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\content blob0.bundle, metadata.store and texture.cache, they would be a pretty swell guy. 10 KB, 1 KB and 4145 KB, respectively.Trying to find these for you. Found the texture.cache (4.12KB) in the patch1 folder. And found the metadata.store but that is 31MB, however there's another called metadata.store.stamp that is 1KB.
Trying to find these for you. Found the texture.cache (4.12KB) in the patch1 folder. And found the metadata.store but that is 31MB, however there's another called metadata.store.stamp that is 1KB.Thanks, I checked "what I need" by looking at what was in the "modweathered" folder. I just put the "content" of that to the "content" of the Witcher 3 folder and hit "copy and replace." It's possible I only overwrote one file, I guess. So might be the texture.cache is all I need.
I can't find the blob0.bundle, though I have a blob.bundle in a folder called 'content0' (and separate blob.bundles in 'content' folders 0-12), but that is almost 300MB.
When doing a search for these files they only show in my mod folder, but you said it asked if you wanted to replace files when you put them in the Witcher folder?
edit: wonder if the texture.cache would be enough.
Seems the bug was reintroduced last patch, until they fix it use the secret escape tunnel:
This game really really needs an ingame console for debugging stuff. In a massive sandbox game with somewhat dynamic elements theres a huge threat of your progression getting screwed up. In my first playthrough I couldnt get any of the special armor sets because all the scavengerhunt quests were bugged. I had to replay it fresh. Not even any of the old saves did anything. The entire playthrough was probably bugged from the moment I started it.http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/143/?
Seems the bug was reintroduced last patch, until they fix it use the secret escape tunnel:Hah, had the same issue. Thanks!
Like the last DLC they will probably include an option to start the campaign as a standalone without meeting eventual level requirements.
Yup, Golden Oriole makes Toad Prince ez-mode. Golden Oriole is rather OP at top tier anyway, makes all poisoning bosses a walk in a park.
...but how do you do purchases on Steam w/o CC nor paypal?
Ahh, debit card. You wrote VISA/Mastercard before tho. That's what confused me.
Debit Visa works with Paypal (so should Mastercard), these cards basically function just like normal credit cards online. Unless Turkey does some weird shit which wouldn't surprise me
Umm, what? Isn't that how most people do things anyway? I only use my debit card for online purchases, both GOG and Steam...
Look good, but ugh, why do they have to wear a frigging ugly plate mail armor in these previews when it's the least witchery armor possible?
No youtube-button anymore? QQ
Blood and Wine looks like it has content in the dimension of a completely new game :shock:
Damn...
Edit: no button but the []-youtbe still works manually - weird
I didn't find him that hard, top tier Golden Oriole just meant I healed everything pretty quick. Took ages though.Yes, Golden Oriole would have helped a lot, didn't have it at the time on that playthrough. To be fair I also tried to play through the game with the first tier Ursine armor, because it is one of the few non-metallic armors in the game. It may also have been on NG+, not sure, been through it three times.
Umm, what? Isn't that how most people do things anyway? I only use my debit card for online purchases, both GOG and Steam...
I'm going to buy the dlcs as I have not yet done so, but planning on doing them in ng+. So how do you start the quests, are they introduced after installation like the previous free dlc quests or are there more to it?
One thing that's bugging me this play through. All the mastercrafted gear is lower protection/damage than some of the stuff I've stumbled across. I'm not even fully exploring on this playthrough because cba but it's irritating because the mastercrafted witcher gear looks so much nicer than the general stuff. So at the moment I'm just downgrading on damage and protection.
Probably repeating myself from earlier on this thread, but this game continues to amaze me. Not only is the sheer amount of content amazing to the point of feeling overwhelming, it's also all extremely high quality, with unique stuff and Geralt speaking to himself, etc. I don't understand how they could do all this when you compare it to literally any other RPG. I must have like 200 hours over 2-3 playthroughs and I'm pretty sure I've only explored 30% of the map.
Still, though, the armor design tends to be pretty horrible, sadly, for Geralt. I've seen some pictures of Hearts of Stone armors and they looked pretty good, but there's a very limited amount of Witcher-y armors to be found overall. And most armors look pretty silly on Geralt, even if you disregard the "witchery" requirement.
If you start the DLC quest, can you pause and go back to doing other stuff without ruining anything? How early on do you get the New Moon armor?You don't need to the start the DLC, just find it as random loot. It exists both in relic, master and magic versions. If you want you can go for some of the probable drop spots: http://www.gosunoob.com/witcher-3/new-moon-armor-set/
Found the armor but the requirement is 10 levels higher than I am, fuck my life. And all the "remove level requirement" mods cause script errors.What version of the armor did you find? Perhaps there's a lower tier version with lower requirements.
What? You don't like that pretty much everything she says to you has an underlying tone of "you fucking retard"? :D
I'm more amazed that she's so popular. She seems to be more popular than Triss. Clearly a lot of gamers like being treated like they're a retard!
To me atleast, it seems the guys in CDPR are kinda the main ones that like Yen the most. Hence the popularity.
Yennefer just needs (and wants) a firm hand and some intellectual opposition.
overdriven why so defenseYou questioned his choice of waifu. Some people take that shit seriously.
what's the most beautiful place in witcher 3 and why is it skellige?
overdriven why so defense
I might have not paid enough attention in the game but Yen's motivation is pretty well explained in the books.It's not so much her motivation but the way she treats people. It's as if she owns everyone and gives no thought for others.
She's running around with whole lot of trouble...
Haha she just pisses me off too much. Every time she speaks I want to slap her. Maybe because I've dealt with girls like that in the past and they are a whole lot of trouble! Have to get Geralt to gtfo as fast as possible.
It's not so much her motivation but the way she treats people. It's as if she owns everyone and gives no thought for others.
I went with Yennefer on my first playthrough due to her and Geralt's past. At first I also found her too bitchy, she was entertaining to a degree but she could get on my nerves. But as you progress there's a lot more nuance to her character, especially towards the ending. A lot of it is just posturing anyway, she acts lovingly towards Ciri, respectful towards Emhyr, and tender towards Geralt (increasingly so if he romances her) . She isn't a Morrigan-esque character that can only act with contempt and sarcasm to everything and everyone crossing her path.
Most of her bitchy facade towards Geralt is her sense of humour, which is made clear in many scenes, it's part of their roleplay and he is happy to play along. You can find it annoying or humorous - I mostly find it humorous. Geralt will take control when it matters.
Maternal instinct and a sense of urgency also plays a part in her aloof and no-nonsense demeanor, as she seems to be the only character whom (mostly) shows consistency in taking the main quest seriously.
She isn't entirely sympathetic, but personality flaws makes interesting characters.
Besides, she carries around a stuffed unicorn for... reasons...
Triss is boring and a crybaby in comparison.
The Geralt-Yennefer dynamic also changes a lot depending on player dialogue choices. Most of the time you're given the choice to not explain yourself to Yen, just state how things are, and she's fine with that. Or you can choose to lie in the hopes that Yen doesn't get mad, or explain yourself like a puppy. I find Yen tolerable if you go with the first option.

Double post but my god do I hate Yen. She's such a controlling bitch.
‘Enough,’ hissed the sorceress and the blaze of her eyes caused Ciri to hide her face in horse's mane. ‘You've become insolent. I would like to remind you that the time when you could resist me has long gone. It was your own decision. Now, you must be obedient. You will do what I say. Understood?’
Ciri nodded.
‘I know what's best for you. I always do. And so, you'll listen and obey. Is that clear? Stop the horse. We're here.’
‘This is the school?’ grumbled Ciri, eyeing the impressive exterior of the building, ‘It's already...’
‘Not a word more. Get down. And show proper manners. This isn't the school; the school's in Aretuza, not Gors Velen. This is a bank.’
‘What do we need a bank for?’
‘Ponder it on your own. Dismount, I said. Not right into a puddle! Leave the horse, service will take care of it. Take off your gloves. It's not proper to enter a bank in riding gloves. Look at me. Adjust your bonnet and collar. Stand straight. You're not sure what to do with your hands? Then don't do anything!’
Ciri sighed.
On a side-note this game runs so much better now that I've a new motherboard and CPU.
thread has been moved to a superior platform http://forum.ofkingsandmen.net/index.php?topic=53.0 (http://forum.ofkingsandmen.net/index.php?topic=53.0)
Not that the DLC's premise as a whole makes much sense - Geralt agrees to fulfill three wishes of a bandit because.... uh.... I got nothing. There's some hesitation on Geralt's part before he agrees to it, he even says he's not agreed to anything, then the next time he speaks he's like "oh sure I'll do whatever you want bruh."
That's the ending I got as well. Reached an alternative one by reloading a save. Suffice to say it didn't end pleasantly either. There are no 100% happy endings as usual. No blacks and whites, but grays all around the place. I don't know though. Maybe there are other alternative endings? I didn't want to google it. I have just started a new game+ and would like to try other options to see if I can change things this time.
It is because he owes O'dimm his life at that point and although his darker identity is unknown during the initial conversation, I think Geralt already has an idea about what he is up against. Besides, there is the strange mark that is burnt on his face. Who knows what it might cause, in case Geralt hesitates to agree with O'dimm's demands? That also explains the possession business and why Geralt deigned to accept it.O'Dimm hardly carried him out of there on his gentle palm, Geralt had to fight a dozen bad guys while tied up to get free. And in any case, even if Geralt "owed O'Dimm his life", that doesn't mean it makes sense for him to become a complete puppet for the guy, especially when it's clear he's evil. A strange mark on his face that "might potentially maybe" cause something is hardly enough reason to let Shani get raped and murdered. It's just not in-character for Geralt in the slightest, considering everything else he does. He's more of a "fuck it, let's roll the dice" kind of a guy than a timid "o-okay, I really don't wanna be hurt, I'll do whatever you say sir" kind of guy.
Well, you asked about another example of "that's so not Geralt". There you go. Not about to compare scale of examples (this sounded like Geralt though :D).I have literally no idea what you're talking about.
I have literally no idea what you're talking about.
As expected.Yes, I often don't know what Turks are talking about. But please, do go on talking about how Geralt spending 10 minutes finding a goat to in turn find his lost daughter who's in mortal danger is the same as becoming the bitch of Satan for no reason. Mayhap you could offer more similar experiences to prove your point, perhaps the time Geralt walked to an inn instead of running there?

And now the Turk card. Again as expected. I just don't have time for this.That's right, boy. Run along.
So finished the main story myself and it was awesome. Easily the best game of the series and I can say that it was the best RPG I have played in a long, very long time.
This dude is easily the best endgame boss, more of a challenge than Eredin himself.
Still have the expansions left though, CDPR has done an awesome job at this.
It was a great adventure from the beginning to the end, even though the game is heavily Yennefer-centric it didn't disappoint and I really enjoyed her character.(click to show/hide)
Really? I played on Death March and Imrelith was hardly a challenge.
Already heard that it's irritating.
Still, I can't believe that Imrelith is a challenge, especially with his "OKAY I STAY ON THE GROUND FOR HALF A MINUTE, ATTACK ME NOW" swing into the ground that accomplishes nothing at all :mrgreen:
Carantir on the other hand is darting around the place like a motherfucker and you only get two hits every single time.
