The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

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:

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.

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.

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.

I went full light armor/light attacks only too. Spamming light attacks seems to be really effective, specially in 1v1 against nonbosses. Beat a level 15 Alghoul with a level 3 or 4 char just by spamming light attacks and chainstunning him.

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.

The stamina regen is a non-issue. Hell, you don't even NEED Quen spam with heavy armor because you take like 1000 times less damage. That opens up your signs to the situational offensive ones.

I groan every time it's Ciri flashback time.

This one was particularly bad, I wanted to spend up my level up points and do shit as Geralt, instead I have to sit in a fucking sauna as Ciri talking about giggity-giggle-girl stuff.

Like, gee, wonder why they included this stuff. Surely for the gameplay reasons, and not just as fanservice to male nerds and an excuse to show boobs and Ciri's butt?

I would say the sauna flashback was the best one. Went to take a hot/icy shower right after I fled the hunt.

Oh common Xant. Dont you think you are exaggurating? Her ass might be of a service to those seriuslly desperate fans. Its not impressive at all. Not to mention her flashback parts are quite short. If you skip all the dialog its less than 5 minutes per flashback. And theres like mybe 5 parts where you get to play as Ciri in total in the entire game(didnt read exactly). Thats not bad at all. The sauna part was probably a method to slow the pace a bit and it worked imo.

Just a couple of general tips:

you can turn on "witcher senses on minimap" in hud configuration. This is so huge, I wish I knew about this ages ago, it makes the sherlock holmsing parts way less tedious. Especially if witcher sense mode makes you nauseous (also recomend turning off motion blur for that.)

if you like me turned off music early on because you got bored of hearing that same song over. definitely turn it back on for a bit when you get to new areas, the track in skellige is epic and I nearly missed it completely.

don't be stingey like me, buy all recipes from main quest characters before they die or get upset with you.

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.

It seems i got 5 or so fps gain. Nice.

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.

PS. I'm really surprised how fluent and smooth and... fun is combat. Didn't expect it after awkward W2.

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.
