The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[Xant]

"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.

Lol wat, I didn't know that either, not sure if thats better than using alt though.

Tells you about it in the tutorial if i am not mistaken.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. And there's definitely no info about double tapping in game manual or glossary. Just like with F5 being a quicksave and some other keys which also aren't described.

not sure if thats better than using alt though.

FOr me alt+wsad combo was almost unplayable. I blame my keyboard with tiny alt key.

yeah you can become invincible with a potion build

Yea, but just because you have hightened senses doesnt mean your opponent loses his because of it. Its like, if you have hightened smelling and a monster has hightened smelling, you can still smell eachothers shit a mile away. And how do they move more quitely? With all the gear and 2 swords and everything, id expect them to cling like hell. I dont really see the stealth on monsters thing as a good idea at all. Story and realismwise. Gerelt is a grunt and everybody in the Witcher series knows it and always reminds him of it. In W2 those assassins, were the only witchers who appeared even remotely stealth oriented. Everyone else who is a Witcher is a simple grunt.

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...

[Xant]

Yes, Geralt isn't sneaky in the books. Doesn't change the fact that stealth would have mixed up the somewhat monotonous gameplay up a bit. I dunno, my dream RPG would be an open world like TW3 with the gameplay of Dishonored.

Very impressed with the world crafting and environments. Can't remember when I've seen a game that's impressed me this much with it's visuals, even though some stuff lack attention, it all fits together very well.

As for the actual gameplay.. It's alright. Very clunky at times but enjoyable, not it's strong side tbh.

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.

Summer sale on gog.com including Witcher 1 for 1,49 $ and W2 for 2,49 $. W1 is pretty outdated but if someone haven't played W2 that's a good chance to get it.

So many great looking armors. Shame that in game there's so few

Yeah. It's annoying. Post here if you want. I guess the more posts the more attention it will get.

By the way, I've started over after finishing the game, and I decided to try out the mod E3FX. I didn't like v8 much so now I'm using  v7 - NO Bloom No Fps loss version and I'm loving it. More natural colours and no fps loss to overdone shiny effects. It's a good mod.

I am confused.

I was under the impression that only those skills are active which you put onto the tree on the right side where the mutagens go too.
I just assigned a point into the Quen sign for that bubble burst. Need only a few xp to get another level and then I wanted to put it into the right-side tree to activate it.
So, from my understanding, it is not yet active.

Just fought a few drowners and when they destroyed my Quen shield, it exploded.

So, now I am unsure if that right-tree is maybe only to manage the mutagen bonuses and the skills you put points in are actually always active?

Edit: Everything I've found to this point tells me that only tree skills are active skills. Weird... maybe I got a wrong impression.

You mean walk in, fold arms, grunt some & then cut them in half?

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.

They're not your real friends, obviously. Disregard their advice.
