The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[Angantyr]

I don't quite understand your problem, Overdriven. I'm on my third playthrough and armors like the Viper armor (witcher set) and New Moon armor (loot) are the best I've seen, both in NG and NG+. Especially if you enchant them to be light armor and use crits builds. But I've also only done the expansion in late-game. Other mw witcher armors are also better than what I've found in loot.

Also, remember that witcher armors in general have a lot of damage resistances which makes them better than their armor rating may suggest, especially against monster damage. What kind of master crafted witcher armors do you have?

I don't really give a fuck about armor stats, tbh. Swords are much more important -- armor you can always compensate for by not getting hit, using Quen, potions, decoctions, etc. The game isn't THAT hard after a few levels that you need to min max.

This is the armor set I want, probably with this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/823/?tab=3&selected_game=952&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fwitcher3%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fid%3D823%26user%3D1%26gid%3D952&pUp=1

The cities in this game are also the best ever, as are the forests which actually feel like forests.

And the way they handled the lighting is gorgeous, makes a huge difference, makes the city feel much bigger:

Currently using the wolven armors, with a mod that makes them brown:

If you start the DLC quest, can you pause and go back to doing other stuff without ruining anything? How early on do you get the New Moon armor?

[Overdriven]

Yeah you can do the DLC in bits as far as I can tell. You can do it after you've finished the main quest so don't think doing other things interrupts it.

I totally missed the new moon armour set.

Agree about the cities. In fact all the settlements. They all feel more alive than any other game I've played. And each is very different as well.

I spend so much time in this game just looking at the scenery, having the rig to play this on maxed out settings really is a treat. Got around 380 screenshots now and I'd say 250 of them are of the scenery

You don't need to the start the DLC, just find it as random loot. It exists both in relic, master and magic versions. If you want you can go for some of the probable drop spots: http://www.gosunoob.com/witcher-3/new-moon-armor-set/

Overdriven, what is your level and what mw witcher armors have you made that are now worse than random loot? What armor do you use?

[Overdriven]

At the moment I've got MW Cat and Ursine. I'm using the Ursine purely because it's the best looking.

I'm getting on level 50 I think. But one of the armours I picked up around the DLC area was just so far above everything else stats wise. I think it gets close to over 100 more stat rating above the MW. Swords wise I haven't found much better than the witcher ones yet. Not enough to warrant switching any how.

[Angantyr]

Alright, your high level explains the high level drops. That's also a very high level for NG I started NG+ on level 39 even though I did all quests except for Gwent ones.

Try crafting the Viper Armor, it has 475 armor rating but a whooping 60% damage resistance fom monsters.

[Overdriven]

Yeah I'm almost at end game now. But been trying to take the time to just explore. Takes a long bloody time!

Haven't quite got the same motivation I had on my first playthrough.

This is one of my favorite screenshots, game looks so good

Found the armor but the requirement is 10 levels higher than I am, fuck my life. And all the "remove level requirement" mods cause script errors.
