Well, you are five or six levels above the recommended level,that explains it in part. In any case that's the start of the game, we can imagine later fights will be harder.

Theres only 2 fights I had problems with so far (barely any story quests done and a decent amount of side quests) on deathmarch. I was getting 1 shot by enemies on a certain story quest, and there's a frustrating as fuck side quest fight where you can get combo'd to death as soon as you re spawn/fight starts.
I've started over, as I beat the game on my PS4 earlier this year, and now have a beefy laptop that plays this games maxed out at 55-75 fps. The update that came with Blood and Wine is amazing. The difference between PC and PS4 is much larger than I could have imagined. It was cool seeing the main NPC from the other DLC in the beginning of vanilla Witcher 3.
I can't wait to see what Blood and Wine has in store for me.

At this point, getting smacked around right after a cutscene ends seems like a CDPR tradition. It was straight up luck in W2 not getting wasted by the Draug immediately on dark difficulty. He was attacking while the screen was still loading/black!
Just wrapped up the main quest. It hits a certain point and then never really lets up. I enjoyed it I think, definitely not as many highs as the main game and HoS. I feel like it was a bit rushed and we didn't spend enough time with these characters.
Sitting at 32 hours, around 14k gold, level 52, only one witcher contract and a bunch of treasure quests left. I know for a fact there's one big quest I haven't done yet
The one from the screenshot with the big mushrooms
, but I also know of one other big thing I haven't seen yet in the city... I'm not sure if I should say any more...
I'm honestly not sure if it's in there. Main quest spoilers
I just now finished the main quest and Yennefer was at my Vineyard and there was a short conversation that was nice but that was basically it.
I was told back at the preview event that you could have people stay and got the impression that they'd be different characters. But it seems like it might just be whoever you romanced in the main game and just a post-credits scene? Shame.
Just in case you don't know yet, like Hearts of Stone, they also released additional comics, concept arts and renders with the expansion on PC, find them under The Witcher 3\Blood and Wine extras.

Yeah, the plot isn't anywhere near as tight as Hearts of Stone, but I put that down to CDPR stretching themselves thin by making such a huge open world to explore with additional content alongside the plot. Not that it's impossible to deliver on both, but as much as I adore Wild Hunt's campaign it too suffers from similar problems. Like the main game Blood & Wine is a multitude of amazing moments that don't quite tie together as a whole, whereas Hearts of Stone never lets up the momentum from start to finish and all comes together really quite brilliantly.

Playing on ps4, has axii puppet completed stopped working for anyone else?
mind control was my go-to spell throughout the main game and hearts of stone but ever since installing wine and blood I can't mind control enemies anymore. I'm holding the button down and the camera changes like it always did and then when I let go nothing happens.
Not sure if how to cast the spell changed, or it was nerfed, or bugger, or what.
What the fuck this grandmaster crafting is ridiculously expensive. Only started the DLC with 12k and I blew through it only getting a couple of pieces of gear done.
dualshock 3 on PC. And this is the first time I ever used controller on PC. I found the game unplayable on highest difficulty with mouse+keyboard. Too many buttons needed during combat, separate buttons for dodge and roll and so forth. Can't handle it with keyboard.
Okay, some I've Level 43 and have never really done Gwent, haven't collected any cards of anything. I've decided that when Geralt retires, he'll take up Gwent.

Has there ever been an open world game where the main quest could be described as tight? I can't think of one. The only reason that I would remotely describe HoS as tight is because the vast majority of the detailed quest effort went into main-quest related stuff whereas with the main game game and B&W they put the effort into fleshing out the world and sidequests.
I think if you keep the HoS main quest as-is but then put a lot more detailed world exploration and sidequests in around it then it will immediately become much more diffuse.
Truth be told, though, as much as I love Heart of Stone I don't think the quest line was nearly as focused as a lot of people think. While the hooks for each of the quests are in Olgeir's background, I really only thought Scenes from a Marriage was properly focused on him. I think you could remove the link between Olgeird and Vlodimir turning Dead Man's Party into a proper sidequest with minimal loss of impact. Same with the heist.
So I am playing through Witcher 3 before playing the expansions on PC. One thing I am noticing that I didn't remember the last time I played (before the patch) is the draw distance for things like torches isn't very far. Is there a way to increase the draw distance so there isn't any pop in?
Lastly I am noticing a lot of items clipping through other objects. For instance hair completely passing through armor, or swords sheethes passing through armor. Is there a way to fix this?

See that's silly if it's not tied to the main campaign outside of the scene you said then something else must trigger it, because we had people earlier in the thread say that someone else visited them.
Why the fuck would cdpr add an upgrade to the Vineyard and make it a freaking puzzle to try and trigger cameos/visits lmao.
Whatever hopefully by this weekend someone has figured out how to trigger them.
I'm pretty much broke now after spending all my money on the vineyard and on the ingredients needed to make ONE set of Grandmaster armor.
Really enjoying the expansion so far. I've barely touched the main story and have just been keeping busy with the side quests, which I've gotta say are amazing.
Okay, some I've Level 43 and have never really done Gwent, haven't collected any cards of anything. I've decided that when Geralt retires, he'll take up Gwent.
Depends if you want to collect them all or not. If you want to collect every single card, you're going to have to start the game again because some of them are tied to missions and missable. If you don't care about that, you just have to start playing the game against Innkeeprs/Merchants/Blacksmiths etc. and if you win, you get a new card. Some people will sell cards too.
Once you're hooked, The Witcher 3 turns into a Pokemon Trading Card game.
Downed the first three bosses, and still no sign of mutations. When do I even unlock them? After the expansion is over? Can anyone please spoiler text the quest names I need to do to get to the mutations?
Surprised it runs as well as it does on X1, kinda remember this game chugging last time I played. Maybe patched smoothed things out since then. Well haven't gotten to the new city yet so hope it stay good.

You will receive a message from a little boy. For me it was when I was walking around the city. That will activate a mission called: Turn and Face the Strange. Complete that and you'll get them.

It's not really found during a quest. Look for a kid shouting "Master Witcher!" in Beauclair around the area where the The Gran'place signpost is located. I encounter him first thing after
fighting Dettlaff Van Der Eretein for the first time.
. He should be around the town square where the bank and shops are. After that, you'll be own your way.
I ordered the armor table then went to Skellige to get the basic oils that I didn't have still and my armorers table bugged out and doesn't appear in my estate.
I have set up a macro so that when I press 'R2+right touchpad click', it toggles the HUD on/off. I use an application called Inputmapper that allows these macros.
So I'm working on the base game and just finished all of the main novigrad quests and now I need to go to skellige to continue. Would you say I'm about 2/3 done with the main quest?
Why would you want to use lock in the first place? After like 2 first fights in vanilla game I knew there is no point. At least on the deathmarch. Better to control everything with controller... Unless you play with K&M, then I guess it might be better with lock on...
It was straight up luck in W2 not getting wasted by the Draug immediately on dark difficulty. He was attacking while the screen was still loading/black!
