Great trick Molly, the cost of Hairworks without AA (yeah, I removed AA altogether) is pretty reasonable, and it still looks much better.

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.
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.
@Banok Thanks mate! You have to launch it as a non-steam game(https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2219-YDJV-5557) then hit F12 for a screenshot, good luck!

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..

You can just hit backspace, meditation adn set it to one hour. It takes like 5 seconds. I still wish they handled it differently, like allowing player to sleep at inns to recover health or something.

You don't make new ones, they refill automatically when you meditate, same as with other difficulties.

Had a really random encounter today.

Was riding my horse - seabiscuit - and I start hearing all these shrieks - don't hurt my poor arse - etc. Run up to the area to see a Giant Arachas (big leaf on its arse, some minor boss thing) slaughtering all these bandits. I just stood there until all the bandits ran to me for help haha, then I was forced to kill all the bandits and this beast.

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.

Sounds like you people are min-max'ing.
I'll stick to my medium difficulty and wear the cool looking gear :D

Although, I got the full Griffin Witcher set. No idea how that impacts my survivability. I used a heavy metal breastplate and other random legendary gear before and especially the heavy torso armor had a huge impact and the damage I could soak but it actually had a noticable impact on my striking speed. I really liked that tbh - that there actually is a difference with impact. Especially counter-striking became noticably harder to do on projectiles.
Yes, I do have 2 points in arrow reflecting and I always try to leave one ranged guy as last survivor to reflect him to death for lolz :lol:

Entered my first big city yesterday: Oxenfurt. Hence why I crafted the Griffin gear - Journeyman Smith. Haven't found the weapon smith yet. Another thing I like - you actually have to discover shop in cities instead of just getting the full city plan by only entering. Love the thick atmospehere with the smalltalk between merchants, music band playing in the middle of the market square, the refugees in the harbour and so on. Really cool.
And I got myself a haircut... loose and shot with the biker mustache <3 I'm the best looking Witcher around :lol:

And I used the respec potion. I had my points put in wildly, not really knowing which combos are fun. Switched from nearly everything in Sword fighting to a combination of Sword (fast hits, dodging) and Axii on full galore for making enemies my allies during a fight which is hilarious to watch when suddenly a Nekker backstabs his own buddy and rips him the shreds due to my sign :D
When west germany annexed east germany, nobody moved a finger too.

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.
