I wish you could just buy something like a starter pack for each Gwent faction. I'm never willingly going to buy 22 cards at 10-50 coins a pop.
In Batman games the objective is to kill as many possible,string enemies efficiently etc...
I don't feel that this game is pushing me to do that at all.I need to be more careful and strategic here.
The risk/reward factor is closer to Souls games than it is to Batman.It doesn't physically feel like souls though.

The new Temerian armor which they released looks pretty awesome though it's expensive.

do we have to go to the starting area for the new DLC armor?

What table do you mean? I have been asleep and have missed many pages.
Should it be in the OP?
Can you go back there after you've left?

You can play random people, winning gives you a card. Got a few nice cards in my Scoia'tael deck already. Monster deck seems insanely overpowered compared to other decks. Dude drew a card and suddenly six monsters were on the battlefield.

There is a generational difference in lighting alone between the two games, not to mention a generational gap between character models

Horse racing gives quite a bit of coin, so does fist fighting. But I don't think there is a single way to get rich quick. As it should be.
Apparently
there is no consequence to looting houses
Dunno if its 100% true ,but if you're seriously in need ,you could do that.
You have a 970, the answer should be obvious. Unless something has gone horribly wrong, your 970 will give you a better experience pretty much every time and your CPU is still good.

Edit: Scratch that.
Wait for resolution later in the game. My quest journal hints that you will see the conclusion of this quest later.

It's always been a tricky balance in these games to earn coin...
I've found the best way is always monster ingredients... So, the answer is - go monster hunting and sell their parts.

You can hit enemies that enter the circle that you otherwise would have difficulty with, such as wraithes

Not even a question. I have a newer processor than you but my 970 runs it maxed at 1080p/60fps, with two settings on high.

I'm seriously leaning towards picking this up today for PS4 as I got a $100 Visa GC from my boss the other day and it's burning a hole in my pocket but I'm curious if I'll enjoy it as a "1st time player"
I bought the 2nd day 1 but I only got about 10 hours into it. Not sure why it didn't connect with me as I love more mature themed fantasy and sci fi but it just really bored me to death.
Perhaps it was partially the combat which didn't do much for me. The world also felt really small for some reason. I was playing Red Dead for the first time when I picked up Witcher so maybe I unfairly compared the two.
--Do I have to know about all the previous lore or will a quick read up suffice?
--Is the combat improved from the 2nd one? Do they sufficiently tutor you on how to use magic, etc?
--If one of my main complaints was world size, is the new larger world filled with enough to do to stifle that complaint?
--Am I waaaaayyyy over thinking it and should I just jump and appreciate that manliness that is Geralt?

When selling equipment and whatnot. Don't sell gear to a single merchant entirely.
I have found from personal experience that merchants generally give you more money if you sell them the items they deal in.
For example Bram the merchant in White Orchard (the guy you saved from the Griffin attack) It is pointless to sell him weapons and armor or blacksmith stuff.
A rusted sword for example he would give me 2 to 3 Gold.
However the Dwarven Blacksmith Willis gives me like 4 to 5 Gold instead.
Also Willis won't even take Alchemical reagents like the flowers and plants you pick, However the Alchemist, will give you money for these.
Look at a merchants inventory to see what items they deal with and that should give you a good idea on what items to sell to them to get the you the highest coin value for your old stuff you sell off.

Mine got bugged
the damn werewolf keeps regenerating health quicker than I can kill it.
Thanks! Yeah I bought the GPU back when the model came out last year. I was more concerned about my CPU and RAM since they are a couple years old now.
Quick question folks, I have imported my save file from Witcher 2, but I just realised that the save file is from before the final battle with
, and I don't know if there is any way to have a save file after that (i.e. once the game has been fully beaten).
Is there any way to get a finished save file, or can we just assume that the final battle isn't going to be a part of Witcher 3, therefore a save right before it is just fine.

so no experience from killing regular mobs/enemies. Even while on a quest? Whats the point of wasting your weapon durability if you end up not getting experience?
Ubisoft has this insane deal where, after purchasing The Witcher 3, you get Assassin's Creed 4, Watch_Dogs, The Crew, and Child of Light for free.
The deal lasts for the next 48 hours.

Sounds more like a nightmare...
I know there's been plenty of footage going around already but I put together some 1080P footage of the first major quest, the g

I have a i5 3570k
8GB of Ram
AMD HD7950
Your video card is naturally more powerful then mine, our CPU's are about on par. Ram is identical most likely.
I am running the game on Ultra @ solid 30 FPS minus Hairworks and both shadows and foliage are at high.
You WILL run the game better then my setup especially since the Witcher 3 is apparently more tailored for Nvidia graphics cards.

I have the same cpu over locked to 4.3 and a 970 stock 16 GB of ram and I'm running it everything on Ultra with hair works at 40-50fps. With hairworks off I'd probably gain 15fps but I'm ok with playing under 60fps. If you want 60fps turn hairworks off.

I think using a certain trophy makes enemies start giving a little exp, but someone else can probably confirm.
I find it really bizarre that enemies don't give you exp normally though. Reminds me a little of Lightning Returns and I hated it there, too.

- No you don't. Although reading up or watching recap videos is highly recommended to get the most out of the game. There will be name dropping and references which are not essential to fully grasp the game but they will enhance your experience. After all it is the third installment in a lore rich series based on books.
- Yes, it has improved a lot. Tutorial is also much better than in the previous game.
- There is a fuckton to do. And nearly everything is top notch quality. No Ubisoft collectathons or Inquisition fetchshit here.
- No you are right for being cautious. This game is not for everyone but the one thing you cannot deny is that CDProjekt has put its heart and soul into this game. I can only encourage you to give it a chance.
- No, quick read up will suffice.
- Yes, drastically. Its still not a game where you go in hackin and slashing with a sword and come out feeling fine. You have to prepare, read the bestiary, and use every tool (potions, signs, bombs) you've got to exploit enemies weaknesses. Its action combat that still has a lot of RPG in its DNA.
- Game is massive and full of things to do, lots of RDR vibes while managing to keep the great quest design of previous witcher games.
- I cant tell you if you'll like the game or not, but I sure do. It does have technical issues that need to be patched, so if you have a low tolerance for that type of thing you may want to wait a little bit for more patches.
what the hell...
That's like a thousand hours of gameplay right there.All great games too.(at least child of light ,AC4,TW3 are)
