Lots of bombs work for them. It's written in their description, I used Grapehsot myself.
Finally got out of White Orchard after doing every side quest and checking out all the points of interest. About 8-10 hours I'd say? I'm not sure how to check your time played. Pretty damn good for just the tutorial area though!
Arrived in Velen and holy shit it's so big and somehow even more beautiful. I made it to the first town Inn and
Arrived in Velen and holy shit it's so big and somehow even more beautiful. I made it to the first town Inn and
came across some bandits who were giving me a hard time. I played it cool...until one of them started bragging about how they'd raped a little girl. I brutally slaughtered their whole crew. Innkeep was none too pleased, but fuck him for harboring these scum

I thought the same with one particular track. The chord structure is extremely similar and so is the rhythm. I'm guessing we're thinking of the same soundtrack since it's the only one which stuck out in that way. The soundtrack is consistently fantastic too if you've enjoyed what you've heard so far.

Cool thanks to the two replies above, and also the pair of replies on the other page. (Stealth edit: and the one above me that I just saw though I think I'll give it a whirl because I was a bit underwhelming by medium difficulty damage though I can always change it back down after if it gets annoying). We'll see how it goes. I think I'll restart on Death March or whatever it's called tonight after work. Also going to try keep the Minimap turned off.
Fittingly enough, I've been listening to the Tactics Ogre soundtrack all day for mood, and I just realize that my favorite track (basically of any video game) is Tactics Ogre's Notice of Death. Fitting song and name to have on repeat for Witcher on Death March, I think.

The
fight was so good. It kept killing me till i learned all of its attacks then killed it without taking damage.

I'm about the same, loving the sidequests. The bit that worries me (although will be good for repeat plays) is not knowing if all the sidequests are done. I thought I was done, then randomly talked to someone in the middle of nowhere and got a new one
about a missing frying pan.
I did.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Bumping. Can anyone help me with this? Seriously, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm rolling, I'm dodging. I'm using Quen and Yrden or whatever. I feel like I'm missing something HUGE. I've yet to even deplete half his health on normal difficulty.

Tiny font is my only gripe for now, but it's a major gripe. Having to get closer to the screen every time I loot something and want to see what it is is not fun.
Game runs great on my PS4 so far. I like the combat, and I want to see what's going to happen next. This is one huge world....omg

Skipped the tutorial ? It's pretty simple just follow the tutorial and you'll get it in no time, it's pretty fun.

It's up on EU store but it sounds like it hasn't made it's way to the US store yet. Geralt's beard will stop growing if you take the haircut pack by the way.

There is one. In Claywich.. but you have to find him in a bandit camp first.. the bandit camp is a bit west from Claywich. Long hair Geralt looks amazing in his starting armor. But all other fat belly armors make him look like an out of shape grandpa. I need a good looking armor soon.
All the diagrams I have, most of them are around level 16 and above.

Have a bigger number than the other guy twice, though not necessarily in a row. It's ultimately about managing your ten cards wisely to either overpower the enemy or feint them into burning their cards while you bide for the next draw. It's a really clever game, and the four factions, heroes, and myriad of effects add a great deal of possibilities for each match.
Keep in mind that you'll find more cards to play in your travels, and changing a few cards in your playing deck can dramatically change your strategies. It's really cool.
I came back at level 3 and stomped it but I'm pretty confident I could have done it at level 1 now. Just need to know how to deal with it. Liberal use of Yrden.
thanks.
You have to learn to approach encounters tactically and manage crowds. You just can't expect to rush in and come out unscathed against mobs. What difficulty are you using?
Edit: Also contrary to the other person, I'd say lock on of any kind is a terrible idea for mobs. Do parry mobs when possible, but try to manage them so that your back isn't exposed (which you do with dodges and rolls), it is all about positioning.

I wish I can play it. It crashes every time I try.
That's weird then...how do you know whether food is going to be good or bad before you try it? You just have to experiment or wiki everything before you know if a certain food will be useful?
Also still looking for information on whether I'm missing something:
One of my friends said the weapons just lower in damage a bit, but I don't know if anyone has gotten a 0% quality weapon yet.Blizzard said:
What is it?

Anyone?
I might have pressed a button to skip it yeah.
Might just try it again later, not feeling it right now.

Just lose the first round and crush the enemy at the 2nd round.

Does every merchant pay the same for stuff you're selling, or do prices differ between?

Yeah prices differ. CDPr said that it is possible to make money by gaming the economies.
It's giant zone, just look at the world map. White Orchard is pretty small compared to Velen.

I think its R2 when in inventory menu. It shows all the stats of the player.

It's not actually a bug, it's intended functionality. According to the devs it wouldn't make sense if you opted in for a certain style and it grew out. It's kind of annoying I agree. Unfortunately I've still not found anywhere to actually get a haircut in the game either and I've been keeping eyes open for a place.
Price vary depending on merchant and location. I keep mine so I'm not sure where to send you so you get the best value on them.

Even on medium difficulty, fights against a lot of enemies felt so non-tactical because enemies just swarm you and spam attacks on you, so it felt like instead of slow methodical using-space-defensively, you're just spamming evade, quen, food. The biggest difference for me was switch to the area-effect fire spell. It really helped me control crowds and keep them at bay a bit, and I think there's a small crowd control 'burning' effect. So I think a huge part to maybe getting more enjoyable tactical fights will be approach encounters slowly and using area-effect or crowd control more because of the sort of 'aggresive swarming' nature of the AI. It's hard to be slow and methodical when all the enemies just bum rush your face mindlessly, but you can slow 'em down with CC I think. Dunno how that'll work out in the end and maybe spamming quen could just end up being better, but I'm going to try invest a lot more in spells/potions that have AE or CC effects to really try slow down battles into a more controlled slower affair. We'll see how that goes if I just revert to mostly Quen
Aw man.. I thought i'd actually be able to travel from a major hub area to another without fast travelling.
