Thanks. I'll wait a few days for E3 to see what the rest of the year might look like. If it's sequel and remake hell, then I'll certainly pick this up.

I'm still having a hard time understanding how people can be confused by this. Sure Act 1 is the largest by far, but it is obvious that Velen, Novigrad, and Skillege are in the same Act because you can tackle those missions in any order you want. Hell, you get different dialog depending on what order you do these quests.

I've found that to be the most impressive part of this game. That takes so much voice work, directing, coding, and general sorting on the thread level that I can't help but be absolutely impressed by the sheer effort the men and women at CDPR have done.

Is the DLC supposed to be released today along with everything else on PSN or is it tomorrow ? And how the hell do I know where to find the new items they keep adding ? I mean, christ, the game doesn't fucking tell you. I know the first piece of armor is with that vendor whose life you save at the very beginning of the game, but not the other one.
Okay thanks, think it's time to check it out then.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Some random shots from Skellige :
What I mean is I didn't find it particularly effective to spec into most of the quen talents. The secondary mode is the only thing I'd consider picking up for it. I use it all the time I just don't think you see a big return on the points you invest in it.

I can't stop admiring Skellige.
It's different in every way from Velen/Novigrad. The people, the accent, the landscape, the music, the means of transportation, the monsters, the lords, everything is different. It's like a sequel to the Witcher 3. Totally my GOTY.

Man you must be surprised every time you go to a different country
To all you drowners:
This is soooooo what I want to hear. I am holding off on going until I get my shit done (mostly) in Velen.... I can not wait!
Man, Gwent is just bullshit once you get to Skellige. Every player, every inkeep somehow has a deck with 6 heroes, 12 spies, and 37 scorches that they always have at their disposal. My decks are decent, or at least I think so. Complete decks for each faction, several heroes in each deck and battle horns and what not, but I'm not doing anything against them. Should I finish Gwent: Old Pals first?

You'll stop admiring Skelige when you go after the 100 smuggler caches strung about.
The secondary seems worth the points so you don't lose stamina while holding it, which lets you heal really well.

The soundtrack is pretty good in this game... but I have to say, my Witcher 3 experience has been made 1000x better by mixing in the Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones soundtracks. When I was talking to Radovid for the first time, "Chaos is a Ladder" from GOT came on. It made a generic scene pretty epic.

Sorry to dissappoint you, but I've turned off the POIs since the White Orchard.

Yes.
Just beat the game, no idea what my time played is as it's pretty bugged. Really loved the game overall, beautiful visuals and engaging quest design held my attention. Enjoyed my ending quite a bit too
. Masterful game, will definitely play it again, and I'm planning on getting the Expansion Pass for sure.
Only thing I'm disappointed with is that I must have missed Letho and I fucked up my romance lol.
Ciri on the Witcher Path, neat

Question:
Before I start the Isle of the Mists I need to know if it is indeed the point of no return?
I am just surprised since I am only level 24 and have done most of the sudequests. I recruited everyone that I could recruit.
I hope not,

I think regardless what comes out the remainder of this year, The Witcher 3 is going to be a GOTY contender and certainly wouldn't surprise me if it goes down as one of the best games of this generation. Unless you don't enjoy RPG's at all, you really should give it a go at some point.
honestly as soon as they let you is probably fine, unless you think you're underleveled. deck strength wasn't much of a problem for me although I lost once to the first guy with the shittiest hand I'd ever seen.

The game is great but IMO it does too many little things wrong to be a GotY. I'll have a full review shortly.

Sweet baby Jesus 48 hours in and I'm 2/3s through Act 1 only. People say the other two are short, like Act 3 of TW2 but still. Good lord.

Yeah, it's remarkable that for all of the various technical foibles that have been sited have seen many, if any, instances where quest scripting completely broke down because something was done out of order. That's usually the bane of reactive games like this.

Guys, how do I find the new DLC stuff ? Is the game supposed to point me in its direction ?

No, it'll open up again later after doing several more linear missions. But if you still have any outstanding missions that involve people you met in the main story, do them first.
While I love the gore and choping monsters in half is very hard for me to get used to the controls, character controls and animations are obnoxious and sometimes I feel like that they are bad.
More times than not Im fighting the controls in order to make Geralt do what I want, getting in to the horse sometimes is a pain in the ass, after maybe half an hour of playtime I can adjust alright but it makes me think and wish for a better tighter controls and responsiveness.
Going back to this after sometime with Sleeping Dogs for instance only makes it worse lol.

I'm wondering if it makes me a lesser gamer that I don't have these issues, even coming directly off of a game like BloodBorne.
Well I won't argue the game isn't without it's faults. For example, I don't think the horse controls and movements are quite as good as Red Dead, and I wish those controls were a bit better.
But I feel even my favorite games of the past had certain annoyances and quirks. For me, I feel the Witcher 3 gets the important things right- interesting side quests and main story, well written characters, fun combat, large open world that's fleshed out enough from the other items that make it worth exploring fully- that I can forgive some of it's shortcomings.
I obviously haven't played any unreleased games coming out this year, but I feel the Witcher 3 is going to be a tough game to top in GOTY discussions.
Not at all, I think that only says that you can adjust at a very faster rate than others like me.
Like I said I can adjust and enjoy the other amazing aspects of this game but is always on the back f my mind that thought of wanting the controls to be great like some other parts of the game like the atmosphere, characters, art, etc.

I would recommend you level to 26 and get superiour armor before starting the quest. You will have no opportunity to upgrade your gear for a while and will return at a level where you can almost go for mastercrafted armor.
The Nobleman Statuette spoilers
Just went to Triss with that statue you can buy from some NPC, freed the guy that was trapped in the statue and he mentioned some sorceress named Coral, then the quest ended. Is there a follow-up to that or is that all we hear of Coral in the game? Never even heard the name during my first playthrough.

Yeah basically this game is art. The story, characters, atmosphere, graphics, and sound are the appeal. As far as actual gameplay/combat goes, it's trash, honestly. This is coming off 200+ hours in Monster Hunter 4U, where the controls are tight as a drum and always make sense. Witcher 3 just feels really janky in comparison. Did the devs even think about frame-based combat when they made this? Because it sure doesn't feel like it.
theres at least 1 more statue that you free where you hear more about Coral

Anyone know if SweetFX has been updated for the newest patch or can anyone recommend me an FX version to use?
I was previously using 1.000 Times Better, but I think the latest patch broke it.

I'd google it, I didn't find shit in the tutorials either. Not sure if I overlooked the info or what, but I didn't see anything.
When my SweetFx broke, it was because dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll were added to my Witcher 3 x64 folder during a patch. I deleted these files and Reshade/SweetFX started working again.
I found him but it was a crazy coincidence. He's at the
Reardon farm
Lindenvale, but I found him when I was just wandering. There were traps everywhere so I started investigating and then was like ohhhhhhhhhh shit when I saw who placed them

You're not alone. I passionately hate the combat in this game. So much so that I almost stopped playing it.
