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. Quality over quantity, hundreds of swords 5 levels lower than me and tons of useless junk only annoy me and distract me from quests and story. Oh, and what retarded desing it is, have 2 pockets which are virtually useless and 2 slots for potions and food, while 10 wouldn't be too many.

Still, so far the best game I've played since Dragon Age Origins and probably the first one since DA:O I'm gonna finish.

At one point I just stopped looting everything that didn't look like a rich treasure chest.

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.

[Overdriven]

Anyone else get annoyed with the repairing system? It isn't really needed in my opinion and half the time just sidetracks me from playing the damn game.

Also agree with the loot. I'm only just starting with Velen and am already skipping looting 90% of the stuff unless its the hidden treasure or in a chest.

Did anyone leave Yennefer to bang Triss instead?

Already decided that's what I'm going to do. Yennefer is quickly getting on my nerves.

[BASNAK]

I chose to stick with Yennefer since theyve been together for a long time. Lords know I'd smash Triss irl doe.

I had frame drops with the gtx960 even after tweaking the game a lot, jumping between 50 and 60 fps, especially in bigger cities in a way that caused a lot of micro-stutter. Switched for a gtx970 and now the game runs a stable 60fps on high settings. Was a lot more expensive, though.

Because fable was released 11 years ago

Finished the game after 76h. Didn't do all side quests, skipped some quite important ones too. Got the bad ending also, feel like i fucked up really bad.

[Angantyr]

80 hours in, level 22, doing a lot of side quests, exploring and just taking the world in. Mostly with my mouth agape over the sheer quality of it all.

I've made a cat school fast attack witcher using only swords and quen in combat, and otherwise parries and dodges. It's pretty interesting on the higher difficulties.

For Death March and Blood and Broken Bones players I can recommend the active shield in alternate mode for the quen sign, as a good alternative to gain health besides Sun and Stars, if you don't feel like hunting for food all the time.

[Overdriven]

I'm only playing on medium difficulty so not even thinking about character levelling properly.

That said I've gone down the Quen route more in terms of signs. It just seems OP to me. Jump into the middle of a group and absorb hits or use it to kite and strike more powerful enemies.

I haven't really decided on the difference between heavy and light armour either. Anyone here have preferences and reasons for them?

[Angantyr]

Subjectively; light armor, among witcher gear I find the Feline Armor from enhanced and upwards is one of the best looking armors in the game, it favours offense (better fast attack and crit damage with cat school), and forces you to use dodge and parry more than with the more damage-absorbing medium and heavy. I think the agile swordsman play style is more challenging and more rewarding.

But basically you can just mix and match as you like, for appearance or power, especially as relics level scale.
