The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[Banok]

So much content in this game but whats mad is how much you might miss completely.

I found I failed a pretty awesome sidequest when a character required for it was killed during another side quest.

Whats more is that failed sidequest was unlocked through a series of events trigged by a witcher contract.

So essentially I think most players go through game will miss out of whole plotline which was pretty cool, especially considering how many players wont know it exists. Makes me wonder what else like this exists and what I've missed out on.

a skellig contract (lighthouse I think) causes you owe some favours. one of these is a quest called cav of dreams, however this quest fails if you complete other skellig sidequests which tie into mainline.

Seems to me like 1.04 improved grass a bit again. Doesn't bother me at all anymore.

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.

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.)

Ha! Just arrived in Skellige. LOVE the place already. The guards at Ard Skellig even compliment me on me axe. 
Best thing is sailing around, fighting pirates. Don't plan on doing the main quest for some time -

I hope there are a lot of optional questlines like the one with Keira Metz. This is secondary quests done right. They probably had an army of writers or something.

And the amount of voice acting in this game...

All the quests, all the branching options, all the different answers, all of it voice-acted. Wonder how much dialogue there is in the game in total.

Thinking about to start over :3

Now that I know the ropes, I'd might play more elegant... What to do... what to do...

Adrenaline and casting:
adrenaline is shown below stamina, 3 chunks. each chunk increases attack power/sign intensity, I think 10% each totaling 30%.
I did think casting using "flood of anger" would be epic, and make specing signs pointless but its not. it does mean you can be full combat spec and cast the occasional fully speced sign, but most the time it will just be your lifesaving quen so you won't even notice a difference and you just lost 30% damage for it.
"rage management" does seem really good for full combat specs tho, since with 3 adrenaline you could cast quen 5 times in a row and that will literally save your bacon on hardest difficulty where enemies can1 shot you.
flood of anger and rage management do no combo well imo, so you'd have to pick one, and I'd pick
rage management personally. even if it means less attack power since its in the general school.

BIG EDIT
some of what I wrote about signs was wrong, and I CBA to rewrite it so I deleted it.

In other news, 10/10 attracted a goat with a bell. And Botchlings got to be the most fucked up thing. Even the Maiden Astrea stuff back in Demon's Souls wasn't as horrifying.

Funny that he seems to have exactly the same personality too.
