The ones that aren't the smiths, standard junk merchants.
Blacksmiths. Armor crafters and weapon smiths and different. You can find one in white orchard I believe, but most you'll easily find in Velen and Novigrad.
Probably my biggest gripe thus far. I've met two bosses with health regeneration, including one in the main quest. The one in the main quest also had minions spawning, so that's two of the worst boss cliches in the same boss battle. Good lord what an annoying boss battle that was.

You do, though. I leveled up while killing a random pack of wolves, and I just killed a couple of drowners to confirmI got a whole 8 exp for both of them!
What I dont like about the combat system in W3 is just how unpredictable is the reaction of Geralt to my commands.
I am playing on Death March and I have to say that this unpredictability makes the combat not as much enjoyable.
If I order Geralt to perform a normal attack the result will vary, supposedly depending on the location/distance of the enemy and such.
But this is bullshit as far as I am concerned. Certain enemy types are way too fast so by the time you give the order to attack, to the time its executed the distance might have changed greatly. Which would be ok if Geralt performed the same move all the time.
Instead Geralt can do from a simple fast slash to a roll+pirouette+slash 1-2 secs later from the time the command is input...
This kinda sucks hard. It makes the combat sloppy, it makes Geralt's reaction unpredictable and it pretty much makes certain encounters with a lot of targets a mess. A mess full of rolls, pirouettes and slashing the air at nothing. Geralt could take from 0 (instant) to a full 1-2 secs to perform his actions and at that time he is vulnerable to enemies. Dying because Geralt wants to do pirouettes and jumps before slashing while enemies swarm him, is stupid and unfair.
Dont misunderstand me , I am in love with the game, it is massive and a proper RPG with an amazing world, but at the same time I have to acknowledge that Souls/bloodborne games have something that no other game has: The best fucking combat system ever to grace the videogame world.

I have the right ingredients to craft some armour, but when I go to the quartermaster in nilfgaardian garrison it's not their to craft.

Try changing the value to 1 (or 3 if it doesn't work).
Willis is an armorer, he can't.
Weapons are forged by the weaponsmith in the Nilfgaard garrison.
There are several more places of power.
The one you found is connected to a quest - so wait until you get this quest!

Is there anyway to turn off the food icons in the HUD configuration? Only thing I want to see is my health bar when I need to. Turned off enemy health bars though so I'll see how that goes lol
Edit: Nevermind, dissapears at full health like the healthbar

Willis is the armorer. He's not too far from the notice board. Do his quick quest and his services are available to you.

holy shit my witcher jumped off from like 2.5 meters height and lost 3500 hp. He really is a freak.

I know what you're talking about, I had to go treasure hunting for a new sword just to get through that.
Curse you digital age!
I really don't want to start over now. Can't I just export my UK save to a USB stick and then import it on my US account, continue playing there and get my dlc?
Sounds convoluted I know

Yeah I jumped from about 2 meters to a beach (with smooth sand!) and he lost 80% of his health bar. Don't know if it's because I played on Death March but I think it shouldn't affect drop damage.

There is a large windmill between the first town and the garrison, there is a big piece of wood blocking the stairs, if you jump at it, you start to slide up it, and then BOOM it shoots you into the air, and then death.....

He doesn't have his quest posted. You must find him and talk. He is on the left of the noticeboard if you go from the inn.
Ah! That would explain, thanks.
I sold my starting gear and weapons as I found some better gear pretty early on. Now people are telling me I've made a huge mistake since it's some of the best gear available once you upgrade it. There's no way to buy it back. It's there anything I could/should do except for restart the game?
Don´t forget to press B (jump button) just before impact - Geralt rolls, thus negating fall damage.

It's pretty much Hearthstone, with less strategy.
That actually is Dandelion he is just older as the narrator. His voice is younger in game of course.

Tried it. Lost about 5-6fps
It's your toxicity meter for when you're downing potions.
Do main quests.
This, the first part of the Griffon quest gives you 500XP, which is enough to go from midway lvl1 to midway lv2.

You have to have a specific number of monster cards in your deck. You draw 10 cards from your deck at the start and can discard and redraw your choice 2. You take turns playing one card each, your faction leader including. Monster cards are played to one of three fields, depending on their 'role' as infantry, archer, or artillery. Fields can be targeted by special weather effect cards that reduce all cards of that field, for both players, to 1. Pass when you're done playing cards, either because you've won the round or because you're allowing your opponent to win. When one player passes, the other can keep playing cards as long as they like. You win a round by having a higher combined attack value than your opponent once you've both passed. You win the game by winning two rounds.
Despite that small mountain of words the game is extremely straightforward and you'll have a firm grasp of the basics within probably a minute of fooling around with it. There's not a very large barrier to entry, here.
Ok, thanks. So you get poisoned for eating too many potions quickly?
Nah, Hearthstone is pretty much Magic and I know how to play that very well. I had no idea what was going on in Gwent. Maybe I wasn't paying attention but it seemed stupid and annoying to me.
The idea of having a CCG inside the game that Geralt can collect and play is awesome, though.
Yes. Shouldn't be too big of a problem most of the time though. There are also abilities that trigger at certain levels of toxicity.

How is Gwent on PS4 ? Heard it crashes very often so I haven't touched it because of that, is it true ?

I don't know if you ever actually suffer any ill effects besides being unable to drink more potions and sporting an uglier mug, but yes. Cleanse your toxicity with the white honey potion.
Crashes when trying to pass your turn, other than that, seems to work ok.
The reddit reply said that 1 didn't work for precisely that situation, sadly. I haven't tried it myself yet.
3 is a good idea, thanks.
