there are 2 the temerian armor and the beard and hairstyles.
Good to know. Is it fixable by getting back and properly walking out of the city?

I hated the combat in the second game, it's not much better here, but you may like the rest of the game enough to put up with it. I'm enjoying it a lot and could never get into the second or first games.
It could go either way, you could like it more or hate it even more. It definitely has a strong foundation in the Witcher 2, but you can't do stuff like constantly roll behind fodder enemies and backstab them; they are much more aggressive and agile.
Considering the first hour of the Witcher 2 probably only had like 5-10 actual minutes of combat and you quit just from that, the games may not be for you. You've got to be into the dialogue, characters, and world, otherwise it's probably not worth it. Even if you thought the combat is fantastic, it's probably like 10-15% of the actual gameplay in comparison to everything else. A.k.a, it's an RPG.
Perhaps its a waste on lower difficulties but in Death March dif arrows can pretty much one shot you early in the game.
On another note, when will DLCs start circulating?
Not everything on a board are quests.
Is there beastiary entry for Rotfiends? I have killed quite a few of the them, but haven't gotten entry for them.
I'm on Death March and only time arrows give me hard time is when I try raid level 14-15 camp as level 6
Suckers OHK you from tens of meters away while you do basically 1 damage / strike back. I just line of sight archers and then close in for quick kill.

Signs were reworked (Yrden is completely different f.e.). And that's just the stuff you input.
Equipment, enemy weaknesses and behaviour etc. were all expanded by a lot.
The combat is not the best thing ever but it's much better than previous iterations.

I was earlier asking if there was a way to pause cutscenes on the pc version. i found a workaround!
If you are playing with a wireless xbox pad and press the xbox button it throws you on the desktop and shows you the battery status of the pad. Doing this will also pause the game.
So alt-tabbing might work as well, but somehow 90% of my games refuse to let me tab to desktop.

When you manage to connect with the redirect, it's magical. I sometimes take a pretty long time to whittle through an enemies health bar with my sword. A redirect is typically a one shot.

Dodging isn't new? It's an extremely helpful addition IMO, I use it much more than rolling, only doing the latter when I quickly need to get away to avoid getting surrounded (which usually means sure death on Death March) and such.
You can make alcohol from herbs? I'm admittedly not far into the game yet, so I haven't really done much with alchemy yet, I was just going off of how I've understood the new system.
Ok, you aren't supposed to pick up more than you really need, but why then are they so prominently displayed on the mini-map? It's completely littered with leaf icons, with no way of turning them off (without getting rid of the mini-map altogether).

The big notes are quests, the small notes are just lore.

I was confused about this the first time I yanked the papers off too. Next time I read them, and figured that out lol. I had like 8 papers, and two quests. I was in the menus for like 10 minutes wondering what the hell happened.

EDIT: Use the Beastiary
When she disappears and spawns those illusions of her kill them ASAP! They leech HP from you and gives it to Noonwraith. Then just use that slow time sign and you will be fine.

Yes the dodge is new, and I like it. Enemies behavior has improved, but I'm talking about the mechanics and how you fight in the game, I don't feel the drastic difference. But your comment made me want to mention that Geralt's first attack animation take some time to complete which make you vulnerable during the animation, which makes the combat not accurate imo.

You can fix it like that, or by saving and reloading.
Guys don't tell him directly. Don't know that proverb with the man the fish? Tell him and people like him where to look not what to do. Otherwise they'll be back at the next new enemy.
A look into the Bestiarium is aleas worth it.
Ok, cool. Thank you!

you mean for the devil at the well?
you fight her once to a certain amount of health, then she will disappear. You then have a quest to sort her out for good.

You have
to get her in Yrden (that purple circle type thing) then you can bash her in that, it tell you in Beastiary what she's weak too.
Didn't get a chance to play much last night as I was stuck talking to amazon since the collectors edition I purchased arrived with a shattered statue. Nothing they can do :-( What a waste of money that was. I don't know why I keep buying collectors editions from developers I haven't previously supported because they never seem to have the same quality as the ones I get from more established guys.
In any case, I wasn't sure what to pick for the 'simulate Witcher 2' save option. What does that mean?

You're right.
You can pick up as much as you want, and it will always be technically beneficial since you can sell the ones you don't need. But it's not like W2 where you can clear off an area of herbs and be done with it. You obviously aren't meant to pick up every herb you see here, because if you try that you would be doing it forever, and that wouldn't be fun.
I'm not trying to tell a fellow Witcher how to pick their herbs, but if you get tired of picking them the new alchemy system is designed more for that. It's littered with leaf icons, because like I said, they are everywhere, like plants actually are in wildlife areas. It's that much desired realism you were after

just be aggressive, if you attack her from behind she can't defend at all.. just try not to exaggerate since sooner or later she will manage to turn around.. and when she creates these clones eliminate them as fast as possible since it's that move that drains your energy and heal her. I managed to do it with a lv inferior to the one suggested that way
if you are too patient she will recharge the damage you do to her between the clones

Aside from leveling up and upgrading items, nothing about Bloodborne is even remotely "an RPG" in the first place.

Woohoo, that very first big monster fight against the
is well executed, with good build-up and atmosphere. Felt like a genuine badass when it went down, no cutscene, QTE or an attrition of stats versus stats - just your preparation and skill against the game's mechanics.
If this is the shape of things to come, I'm all-in.

Okay, the redit protip about dropping the camera sensitivity to "0.80" is spot on...
Game feels even more smoother now on PS4 and the speed itself feels similar to Demon's Souls/Bloodborne... nuts

Yep, and I really liked prepping for that fight, taking yhr time to make sure I had all the right gear/buffs on before going in.
No, that doesn´t seem possible.
It doesn´t shackle it to the mortal realm, but to the well geographically.
You fight her regardless so dont worry about it

I guess so.. found no way to resolve the thing peacefully even doing all the steps of the quest.. don't know if you can just straight up 'kill' her
Sheis Noonwraith
Heh, I meditated til 2pm but she was still moping around. I'll meditate longer maybe.
Read the bestiary. It details the oil, the sign and the bomb that works well against her.
If you kill the illusions quickly she won't regen iirc. She also becomes visible in Yrden, which allows you to A LOT more damage

huh? Exploration, NPC quests, farming items for chalice dungeons, leveling up, charater creation, character builds, PVP and other things are not considered RPG elements? Tell me more about your definition of RPG.

Did anybody else turn down each sensitivity to 0.75?
Controls waaaay nicer with it.
