Supposedly there's one in Novigrad and one in Oxenfurt, southeast of Novigrad.
I'm glad I made my way up North last night. Was really cool to see.
Sounds like a conspiracy! Ellipses!
The same thing is happening to me right now. I'm going to try your solution, thanks!

Like at my level I can only have 2 abilities activated (you have to activate them or they do nothing) and I already had two from my weapons tree.

Its important to understand that like the prior games, its an RPG first with action controls (eg its the reason you see damage numbers and other descriptive text, tons of crafting components everywhere etc)
combat is more about using the right kind of strategy than being a pure test of action skills
W3 is a big improvement over 2, and 1 ... man not sure if I could even play 1
Its fair to compare to skyrim more than action games like bloodborne
I think melee combat wise its way more fun than skyrim (though to be fair skyrim has a ton of other options like the stealth mechnics)

This may be a silly question but how do I enable HBAO+?

I'm a bit confused about the timeline from TW2 -> TW3.
The lady in the White Orchard tavern said that it's been six months since Foltest died. However, you talk to Vesemir about how you've been on the path together for six months. But Foltest died at the start of TW2, and you couldn't have met up with Vesemir until after that game...I'm not even sure how long of a time period that game took place in. It feels like it should be at least a year since Foltest died, not six months. That would give a few months for TW2 to take place and then time to meet up with Vesemir and be on the Witcher's Path for 6 months.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
I'd just like to say f amazon.com and UPS. Prime release day delivery failure and for no reason. Don't get them game until tomorrow, they just simply decided to make delivery for Wednesday instead of today ugh and of course I'm home all day. Had this game on release day pre-order since June 2014 haha At least I managed to get $10 store credit from the mess. This happen to anyone else? My first time amazon has failed me with a game release.

This, I'm about 5 hours in but I've put a lot of time into finding random enemies to fight so I can get the hang of the controls properly. Think I have it down, much smoother experience now I know what I'm doing and have timings down.
Only issue is fighting larger monsters, simply because they arent that frequent so I'm always a bit off with them, and they require more preparation/tactics anyway

Yeah the rain and other weather effects are awesome, especially how NPC's react
They probably wanted to avoid what happened in Dragon Age Origins.
Or Dragon Age 2 for that matter lol.
Try to manually load your game. Autosaves should appear. I know quest progress triggers them, not sure if anything else does. Speaking from PC experience.

Been playing for about five hours and the controls are the worse thing about the game. Way too loose. Needed to be tighter and the movement reduced. For example, I come close to falling off cliffs and hills because any little movement makes me go several feet which isn't good.
Combat isn't bad but I definitely have to get used to the rolling and dodging as opposed to just being aggressive and attack repeatedly. Overall, thus far the game is very good but like I have said so many times this generation, the game needed a few more months of testing and adjusting the very loose controls.
Funny how one of the lowest rated and scored games (The Order: 1886) has far less problems than games that have been rated and scored the highest. LOL.

Yeah that works when there's just one or two archers standing close to each other but if they're not the only thing that works for me is running past everyone else and trying to kill them first...
On another note, controls could use some tweaking to be more responsive. Several times I've had to press L2 multiple times before the game reacts and Geralt goes into his partying stance, taking lots of damage in the process.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
I order a lot from Amazon and yes on occasion they miss delivery dates. Doesn't happen often and they always compensate somehow, so I don't get bothered much. It's a risk with any delivery from anywhere.
You can explain away why the controls are as they are, but ultimately I do think they're a flaw.
I actually think people are being too charitable; the controls aren't just clunky, they're outright bad.
That said, controls and combat has always been the weakest part of this series. The Witcher games excel in all other areas to compensate.
I found the beard and armour DLC by pressing down from the game icon on the dashboard and it was listed there. Although this is in Europe, it might not be available in the US yet.

Death.
Now in some streams I watched when Geralt died he lost coin but revived where he fell. I've died once but had to re-load. Has something changed or was it because I was low on coin (don't remember how much I had)?

Does any know if there is a way to find bear fat in white orcherd?

I agree. It needed a kinda' Batman/Shadow of Mordor type system of counters etc. Everyone/thing jumps around like their pants are on fire. Kinda' looks silly too.
One of the questions marks in the lower left portion of the map is a place of power with a bear defending it. Kill the bear.

What it needs is to not be so damn fussy. Sometimes feels like Geralt moves on a grid. Its definitely clunky.
cleveridea

Yeah I agree, the game looks and plays like an action game (eg controller) and control wise its somewhat clunky versus say bloodborne
I do think that some of the clunkiness is to force different tactics to be used however, eg you cant just melee attack all enemies easily and its best to use a mix (eg trap, fire etc)
I just started my playthrough (playing on PS4) and went through the tutorials. Camera felt way too fast for me so I toned it down for now (courtesy of Bloodborne I guess).
Then I arrived at the first inn, and the game crashed during my first card game when I tried to pass my turn. I started again, went through all the speeches I previously had and started the card game again, and it crashed again when I tried to pass my turn. I absolutely won't skip quests or content on a 100 hours game because of crashes, so I just stopped the game for today. I'm pissed.

Oh, sorry about that lol. PC and Nvidia.
Yup. I was fighting higher level Nekkers in the woods during the rain, atmospheric as fuck
Seems to be a few people reporting this on PC.
Although the above poster is saying otherwise, so at least it's possible to rain.
Checking further, my game is showing 1.02 on the main menu. I'm guessing that's what the Steam update was, but I don't have a screenshot of the version when I played yesterday.

Thanks! I spent like an hour going across the map searching for a bear :/
You have downloaded it? Then at least Bram, the merchant next to the inn in the beginning sells it. There's maybe others.
Really?
This is the first open world since Skyrim that has felt like an actual adventure to me. It's so far removed from Ubistandard Open Bloat design that I'm having trouble understanding how you feel they compare so well.
Wandering around TW3 taking in the sights, fighting random enemies, speaking with locals, dealing in side quests, all feel natural and part of Geralt's journey rather than pointless busy work to extend play time.

Really glad I decided to leave gwent until I'd become familiar with everything else in the game. So many people having issues with it. Guess I'll be ignoring it until theres a patch!
I've played a bit so far and I'm digging the world but I'm really overwhelmed by the amount of different items you come across. I can't seem to craft anything yet but I'm worried the stuff I find will be important later on so I can't bring myself to sell it. The UI doesn't help much either. Took me a while to figure out what the price was on things in the shopkeeper menu.
Movement controls and fall damage feel off as well.

hah I did, just ranting. They gave me $10 store credit. Now if I don't get it tomorrow I'll be more ticked since I'm a prime member and I'm in NYC and it's been sitting in some UPS in New Jersey since Sunday. Someone clearly messed up with when it should be delivered and I'm not sure who, not that it matters in the long run.
"I order a lot from Amazon and yes on occasion they miss delivery dates. Doesn't happen often and they always compensate somehow, so I don't get bothered much. It's a risk with any delivery from anywhere.
That's true. Just a first for me and when it's been sitting in a UPS center since Sunday *read above* not far from me I can't really fault amazon. It's more of a F U Ups. I know amazon will make it right if it doesn't show by tomorrow. I'm just taking out my frustration cause amazon is where I ordered from and they chose chose Ups ground since it was so close to me, but that's slower delivery and when you're a prime member and pick guaranteed release day delivery you expect the game on its release day.
k I'm done ranting hah just was curious if anyones copy didn't show today as well. Dont want to mess up the thread anymore.

I've heard this a lot. Can you avoid playing this in the intro?
That would have been the first two pieces of free DLC:
The game was already at v1.02 when it unlocked.
Thanks. I'm seeing the beard and armor set someone was asking about, in the Steam DLC list.
