I don't understand Witcher economy. How am I supposed to make money?
I sold these and he put them for sale at 89 orens.
Geralt can't haggle for shit. No wonder he always needs more money.

Ooccoo just turn it down to normal beat the griffin then back up. Do whatever to advance if you're feeling that way and don't care about the boss fight that much since the game still deserves to be kept playin
I didnt think he was hard but depending on how you went through the first area I can see how it can be rough as an early thing if you're not that familiar with the systems

Haven't had much play-time yet, are durabilities wep-specific?
Need to find them in here (not this particular xml but similar) and edit, basically:
Just beat the noonwraith on deathmarch on first try. Had like 1 percent health left, though it looked like 0 health. Thought i died and stopped fighting than went oh shit im still alive! One more swing and it was dead. Thank god for the sun and stars ability. By the time i found another quest had about half my health back. This might be one of the goat rpgs for me. Having quality animations in all of these side quests is unheard of in big open world games. Makes such a difference in immersion.
yes I have it on

It isn't unblanaced. Use quen to adsorb his first hits. It won't even phase you. If you read the bestiary it tells you that it is weak to aard as well. Drink the potion that increases stam regen and you should be fine.

Work is over in 5 minutes here... THEN THE WITCHING HOUR WILL COMMENCE!
Make sure you leveled up correctly. Not only do you need to spend skill points, but you need to equip them. You might be level 3 but if you don't have any skills equipped then you won't get their buffs. The fight isn't that hard so this may be a reason it's so difficult for you.
not saying that, but easy should make you go through what you don't like about it faster
I mean, they describe it as such. mode is called "just story"

So I haven't cracked the seal on my PS4 copy yet, is there a patch inbound to fix any issues that hasn't hit yet?
Also Best Buy finally got their shit together with the Steel book in store. I had to post on the BB forums and get a social media rep to call the store.

I entered it before the quest and it still worked fine for me later.
My plan is to do the first level of the useful alchemy crafts then sell every random non-alcohol thing I get. Hopefully I'll be able to afford shit that way.
Goddamn I wish I had gotten this. Gorgeous. I have a thing for steelbooks.
Putting it on easy makes it worse. What's bad isn't the difficulty, it's the controls and animations. Geralt, and witchers generally, are lightning fast killers in the books. In the game he's slow and lumbering.
Honestly none of the games capture the feel of the book's combat at all.
Others with this problem have said that if you restart the PS4 this problem goes away.

Alghouls are stupidly hard compared to a same level pretty much anything else that you fight in swarms. They heal hilariously fast, they automatically break through your quen just by getting attacked, and they stagger you when you attack without quen up. They do way more damage than pretty much anything else I'm fighting, too.
I know I'm playing the hard mode but there just doesn't seem to be a good way to tackle alghouls, they just put pretty much every other small, numerous monster type to shame.
Make swallow in the alchemy menu. You can also use food during combat, but its regen is slower.

swallow potion or foods
Eat food or drink water/potions. There's no animation when using them so you can start the regen pretty quickly.
Craft swallow, it's the healing potion.

The answer is always apple pie. (or any food item or drink, really. Though some alcohol you may want to save for crafting.)
And the swallow potion, as Reebot says.

Food or swallow. No instantaneous though
I dunno but I really like how I'm not like level 12 already just for doing nothing. Although under 5xp for wolf kills, kinda not worth going for.
Same for me, it's been fantastic.

Swallow regens slowly; so does food
Quen's 2nd tier upgrade heals upon being struck
White Raffard's Decoction heals instantly
Anything that's not a skull is fair game, and anything that's low level can still kill you if you fuck up. Think that holds for both BBB and DM.

I'm going to start this game tonight. Any pointers on what difficulty I should play in? For reference, I played Dragon Age Inquisition on medium and did fairly well actually. But Bloodborne handed my ass several times lol.

Loving this game but I have two huge, yet kinda dumb complaints. Night time is way too short! The sun should not be coming up at 230am, that's insane. And Novigrad feels less alive than most villages. I don't know if it's limitations on the PS4, but there just aren't that many people there. I've seen more people at Crow's Perch than in the streets of a super busy city. Both seem like they could be fixed with mods on the PC, so just two reasons to double dip one day I guess.
Aww yeah, got into Oxenfurt or whatever, found a barbershop and now I'm finally sporting the best Geralt haircut again
I need to get rid of that stupid looking armor, though. Hope there's a dude somewhere here who can craft me a better one.
Google "witcher 3 cheat engine" and check out the cheatengine forums link. There's a cheat table for CE that has an infinite durability cheat. No durability modifiers or anything like that, though.
e: also, 1.5 hours in, no crashes yet! YAY!

Alright I'll give it a shot when I get home. Thanks!
Use whichever sign is the "mind control" one, the one that just causes a stun at lower levels. They only do that thing where they break your shield/damage you on attack when they have that red aura up and I found that the mind control sign breaks that aura. If nothing else, you can attack them from behind freely without getting hurt so even if the red aura stays on, they'll still be open from behind.

Nope, swallow potion or food is your only option.
Ah ok cool, wasn't expecting that.
Guess ghouls are just the most aggressive bastards then, no wonder everyone has trouble with the first fight.

Am I pressing some button to make the mini map layout disappear while in dungeons? The circle is still there, but it seems to be showing the world map area that I'm in instead of the dungeon map.
This is why i am playing on Death March. I remember being so over leveled in witcher 2 that i dont even think i died once in the final act. Made the game kind of boring. I need rpgs to be challenging otherwise i lost interest.

There isn't. What I highly suggest is using one of your ability points for one that restores 10hp per second while daytime and when you're not in combat. I think it's in the next to last column thingy. I was having a hard time before I got that ability but afterwards, I didn't really have a problem with my health. I would fight a few enemies and then explore while my health regained.
Other than that, spend your money on food to heal.

i would say play on normal. The combat is very grounded and more like bloodborne then DA:I. You have to learn to dodge and parry without indicators and be able to use potions and magic when fighting.

Eh, I can cross post this. It's general enough:
Okay, hours in now and it absolutely looks similar in quality to cross gen games. I get that it is likely more complex and on a scale that hasn't been achieved before, and I think it does make graphical achievements in character models, but the world gameplay looks easily as flat as much of Black Flag, the foliage's fine leaves morph into large and low detail texture in obvious ways as they block out lighting behind them (games like Unity and Inquisition use smarter ways of dissipating distant foliage to keep the illusion of light passing through, rather than the texture clearly being opaque at certain LODs with no light passing through cutouts like it does up close), the game does use billboarding foliage, even at its highest quality when you stand right next to it and spin the camera.
Atmospherically, it is strong, but visually, this is absolutely not besting other open world titles this gen. I think people are deflecting when it comes to acknowledging this fact due to their appreciation of the game's scale, style, art, developer, etc.

I was really hoping to bone the herbalist. No such luck.
Does anyone know if
the girl survived after she was given swallow? I went back but she was still laying there and no new dialog options with sexy herb girl.

If you think this looks like Black Flag I honestly don't know what to tell you
The lighting and atmospheric effects are far beyond that of cross gen titles. The sheer variety of assets and NPCs is impressive as well.
