Do you have a link? Because that's a pretty absurd idea.

I think I saw some XP numbers come up for defeating enemies in trailers. If anyone has a trailer accessible, they should be able to check this.
I do not, sorry friend. Maybe Tovarisc does?

Yeah, I changed from easy to normal in that cave and got rekt so much lol. Eventually struggled past those enemies while still in normal. If I knew I could stop them from infinite re-spawning, I'd have done that first lol.
Still, that slow animation locked combat system of Witcher 2, that doesn't let you use potions inside of battles is just not a great system for me. I've changed back to easy and just focusing on the story.

I cant remember the last time I played a western rpg on a difficulty lower than hard so I might as well start there again. Definitely not going for that top setting the first time through lol.

A lot more responsive with short (& cancellable?) animations and can use potions in battles too. Seems to be at least serviceable.
Im loving everything except the combat so far
And i actually heard it was even worse back then. it just got patched a lot

So I guess this is the first screenshot of (returning Witcher 2 character)
?

Thanks, awesome news. Hope we're still bros even though i picked
Iorveth
Quite an upgrade to his model. Looks great.
Guess I'm helping every Temerian I find, even that guy from the released quest footage.

I need numbers to validate my wins. Souls gets it, Fallout gets it, Dragon Age gets it, Borderlands gets it, Dragon's Dogma got it.
I hate the idea of seeing an enormous monster with a huge red skull icon over it's health bar and not immediately thinking: "I should leave now... but if I kill that thing I'll gain like five levels at once." That's such a huge draw of RPGs that lack level scaling.
Some lighting with a torch on PS4. Nice and crisp 1080p footage.

That's my

This really is the only channel we should pay attention to, as PS4 footage goes.

My man, Roche!
Anyway, what's with those npcs on the back. One with hollow eyes and the other one is headless.
What version is that?
Wow, caves are pretty dark.
Love it.
As a tradeoff, I hope you will have the chance to obtain a rare item or material that will validate your triumph over said creature. That would be just as rewarding for me, personally.

Roche is looking a little bit TOO beautiful there.

Hey, do you guys know any source that can prep me in a good way the whole story/background lore of the Witcher series? Because I haven't played 1 and 2 but I am really interested in playing 3.
Do you folks know perhaps any Youtube Let's Player that perhaps do a good job showing off the games?
Witcher 1 is out of the question since I don't do PC gaming (at least not beyond playing simple games here and there) and I guess I can play Witcher 2 if I really wanted to but I just don't have time to do so.
Thanks guys.

You'll get a powerful weapon...
...scaled to your lower level so it isn't that powerful

Wait, what? I've just started playing TW2 for the first time, am about 10 hours in, and consistently die in ~4-5 hits from regular bandit type swordsmen...
but I'm playing on Normal. I've been dying a lot and just thinking I suck.. did I accidentally pick the wrong difficulty lol?

Rare items don't scale. Also seemingly you don't necessarily get weapons, rather, you get schematics.

The best ones don't scale.

Can you import your Witcher 2 savegame file into the game? Is that feature available on PC?
My man!
Yes it is and if you don't want to you can just opt to answer questions to fill in the story gap.

This makes me wonder what are the choices we have to make before we start game.
I recently replayed the game and did his path. dude is a total bro. I want to find him again this time around.

I actually hope this is how it works. It makes the life of a completionist a little more bearable. I like to do as many side quests (side quest, not FedEx unless it involves killing creatures I would be killing anyway) as I can in these kinds of games, but that invariably leads to my character ending up way too strong before the two-thirds mark, and it makes the rest of the game really boring in regards to combat.
I like to work for XP, and feel like these side quests are worth the effort, while simultaneously not breaking the game. It's not easy to keep balanced sometimes.
Some people keep claiming how "better" it is, but according to some actual no-nonsense reviews (as well as what my own vision tells me), it's almost exactly the same as before. The main difference is the animation and how more responsive it feels while playing, but the actual mechanics are largely the same; mash light attack to win, popping Aard when you feel like they might parry, or drop Yrden if you just want to cheese everything.

Weren't places of power just temporary buffs in TW2? Are they going to be different in 3? If not it's literally no big deal.
I like
Roche more than Iorveth but I like Iorveth's path more. Mainly because Iorveth's path has Vergen and Saskia.
They've been revamped in Witcher 3 so that people actually give a fuck about finding them.

Yeah, I know. Just messing around
I asked Damien (dev) this, and he said they tried various systems, and found that this one worked the best. So let's see.

The beginning of the game is harder than the end of it. If you're in the swordsman tree, once you have whirl, everything has a habit of dying very quickly. Until then, abuse dodge rolls to avoid surrounds, and keep Quen up in any semi-dangerous situation to avoid damage. Just be mindful of the damage penalty for each point of stamina lost, and that you don't regenerate it so long as Quen is up.
So strange, that's going to make the platinum trophy extremely difficult. No way to grind.
unless there are THAT many quests.
I agree, I tend to have the same problem in RPGs. I think I'll still end up over-leveled anyway but I'm hoping the combination of the lower exp gains and the (apparent) heavy reduction in stat increases means it won't become an issue until long after the half way point some reviews have cited.
Roche is like the greatest badass ever, I mean come on, look at this shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGjyqqHU7JI
link in spoiler is from Witcher 2. You should probably just watch it anyway
