Its not murder, its self defense. I think of it as me wandering through minding my own business when a vicious group of bandits are set upon me and try to rob me for my meager possessions -- I gotta defend myself. Its also not stealing, after they're dead I may as well help myself to their goods since they dont need them.

Buy/find saddle bags if you want to do it in-game and "legit".
I posted a mod earlier to up the limit to 9999 if you want to go all the way, check out my post history
Huh, is my memory fuzzy or are the contents of the traders slightly randomized?
Yeah, I doubt that a lot of people have problems with slaughered bandits. Met a few trying to burn an elven women in her own house. Bandits are to be exterminated.

Just keep in mind you get more exp killing monsters and little to none exp killing humans.

Gwent with the guy in the first village crashed the game on PS4. Is there a way around that or is it just completely game breaking?

Is there a storage?
Didn't happen to me, but I think you don't even need to talk to him and talk to the furtherst guy.

Is there any reason to keep so many white myrtle petals and other plants I've spent forever gathering as I wander around? Especially since potions re-stock automatically when you meditate?
Ah... Yes there are things you can create that go towards being an ingredient for other potions. Got it just answered my own question.
Fuck I love gwent, I am good at it!

When you're looking at a weapon or piece of armor, what's the first stat and icon mean (to the left of strength/armor rating)? It looks like a little hammer but I know it's not that weapons current durability.

Seven hours in and I'm like only level 5. Am I doing alright still? I can't help but feel underleveled :/
I think this is a common problem. You better pray that CDPR is bussy putting together emergency patches right now for all platforms. There are a few things that are really icky with crashes and freezes and such.
Yeah. The horse in RDR did as I commanded. Roach sometimes just doesn't give a fuck.
Quoting for science later.
Eurogamer's got the scoop on a big patch that is on the way:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...he-witcher-3-graphics-downgrade-issue-head-on
As the title indicates the interview also touches on the downgrade controversy... if you're into that kinda thing.

Oh good. GOing to embrace the patch. I don't want to be scared of my own inventory no more.
Oh! I always wondered why I didn't have one. Didn't think of that. Already experimented? Maybe Yreden?
Most of them weren't, but she had a Foltest card. I don't know if you find that particular one again.

I'd like to come in here and highly recommend people play on hard mode. The game just makes sense and works on hard, from crafting, planning, using oils, potions, bombs, traps, etc.
Whereas on normal it's just square square square.
I haven't tried the very hard difficulty, but hard seems to be great. give it a try.

You're doing great. Level 5 after 20 hours here.
Patch already in cert? Nice. Usually when they say "soon" for a patch it's something that they just started working on and is over a month out.
I'm level 2 after about five hours LOL

After two nights of playing, around 8h in total, I'm now just about done with White Orchard (I might have taken a bit longer than most to get to this point, but I've been taking it pretty slow, haven't fast-traveled once, etc). Unless I've missed some hidden quest you need to stumble over (I've done the frying pan one, etc) I've done absolutely everything this place has to offer. All that's left now is to go kick some Griffin ass, then it's time to embark on the real adventure. Feeling pretty psyched to finally get out there! But that's tomorrow. Now sleep.

That last kill on the bandit leader, damn, it can be visceral at times. Loving it.

Oh, that makes me feel a little more reassured! I played pretty much from when I woke up through the afternoon, so it felt weird to actually feel kind of behind. Guess I'm managing alright though.
Holy crap haaha. Alright, no more worrying from me then!

Yeah, I'm getting better at combat.
Beat the level 6 bear and level 7 wraiths at level 2. I can now even handle a group of drowner and a whole pack of wolves without death.
Feels good.

Well, good to know most weren't exclusive.
Yeah, the level 6 wraith was surprisingly easy. Enhancing weapons and armor works wonders for encounters like that. I'm not leaving a settlement unenhanced any more.

You level up faster by doing main quest, I was at level 4 for 3 hours and 1 hour of main quests got me up to level 6. But I am doing side quests at the moment even if it is slower this is the first game that I actually want to do side quests in so I would say take our time with it..
Also it's crazy how fast you can run into a monster 4 times your level in this game, I even ran into a monster that just had question marks on it. it chased me for a good 10 minutes
Just finished 'Wandering In The Darkness', loved it.
There's something really likeable about Keira's character, in fact there's plenty of great characters in the game already. Even small characters have pretty good acting and dialogue.
Thinking if it's worth it to head back to White Orchard and get the Serpent Silver sword made by the Nilfgaardian Blacksmith as I haven't seemed to be finding many silver swords/any.

Just made a mod that gives you 3 skillpoints per level instead of one
Have changed the XP thresholds too
Any suggestions as to what so better thresholds would be for people who want to rank up more quickly?
My test version of it gives you 3x points for the first six level-ups and drops the threshold down to 100 each time (which is obviously far too generous
):

I'd whish that the Witcher sense wouldn't be so diifcult to look at. It hurts my eyes, zooming clother to Gerald doesn't help. A bit easier on the eyes would've been nice.

I personally don't get using mods like that at all. Surely you're completely breaking the game balance the devs have carefully set up? I know I wouldn't want to end up completely overpowered halfway through the game. But if that's your thing, why not, go crazy!
Same. I'm not overly sensitive to FOV induced motion sickness, but it does make me feel a bit uneven... Nowhere near as bad as Just Cause 2, though.

What's the deal with the automatic finishers? Do you have yours set to auto or manual?

The .ini tweaks are already enabled with the launch patch, not sure about the rest.

I can totally understand it - I used the Full Combat Rebalance mod out of the gate in the Witcher 2 for example which did stuff like auto filling one of the skill trees that gave you access to basic moves (such as parrying).
This is obviously a more primitive version of that though
and hey, it's only been a few days since launch, and I figure that experimenting with this sort of thing will lead to better mods down the road.I'm 13 hours in and I'm level 4 haha!
I don't get these comments that show up all the time when people mod things as if there was an ultimate saying on what you should do with the game
let the dude mod away. cool that new things are popping up
You have certain chance you can increase with all kind of things. They trigger automatically with that chance.
Safest bet: reinstall W2 or ask somebody who still got it to finish the last part of the game for you.

So if I apply an oil to my Silver sword will it become permament until I decide to remove it or does it expire after a while?
Yeah it's a little irritating after awhile, I dropped the volume for music to 45%.

So guys, do any of the question marks lead to actual quests and not just treasure/powerpoints/randomstuff?
Because I gotta lotta Question Marks...
And I want to beat the game in this millennium.

By the way, anyone looking to get The Witcher 3 eGuide from Prima, use WITCH50 as your promo code, and it's 4.99. Just found that deal.
