Yeah, if you pick a direction and run on your horse, you will find things to do.

I said screw it and just went with the main quest for a bit because the side quests do not give a good amount exp. And Velen has many level 13+ enemies while the player is around level 3-4. On Death March you'll get KO'd in two hits.

Hah! I just turned off the console after half an hour of dying at this fight.
No matter which decision you make the fight will be like taking a rake up the ass. Incredibly frustrating on death march.

Got that on PC too
Same but usually from a distance and it loads a little later...kinda annoying tbh but what can you do.
Though I've had a missing bench when up=close too once, guy was hover sitting cross-legged.
All the people without trousers is starting to be a bit silly though. Not sure if that's actually a bug ha.

Quoting meself
Armorers and the first merchant in White Orchard had them at least, not sure about others. The first merchant is selling the DLC ones I think so might just be armorers in general.
Yes, I have the same feeling.
Tried with a Xbox 360 and Xbox One controller [both wired].
Mouse and keyboard feel definitely more responsive and, as usual, camera controlled by mouse >>> camera controller by a stick.
They required me a bit to find the binding of keys more comfortable for me, but I'm not going back.

Laying in bed trying to sleep, when that "gotta. find. more. loot." feeling hits, which turns into an hour plus after midnight going around to undiscovered locations.
What are you doing to me, game?

Played for an hour with no freezes. I Thi k the culprit is the fps limiter. Turned it to unlimited with vsync on and my problems went away.

I agree. I literally have to get out of my seat and move closer to my tv whenever I'm doing anything in the menus. Either that or I have to really strain my eyes to read the small text. And there's a lot of text too. I'll keep playing because the game is fun but It'd be great if they patch in an option to increase text size.
Gwent is kinda bullshit. If your opponent has better cards than you, there's just no way around it. I've spent the last hour trying to beat the second gwent player you meet, the nilfgaardian noble, and he has like 5 or 6 10 strength cards and a bunch of others that just wreck my shit. I bought all the cards from the first inn, but I just can't stack up. If I get him in the first round, it takes all my cards or just about to do it, and then he automatically wins in case of a tie.
Can you come back and face this guy later? Cause this is infuriating.
Also, what do you actually slot into weapons and armor? I played a lot of TW1 and 2, but between the UI and the revised rules and systems I can barely make heads or tails of crafting and such,.

Seems to be okay for me, the client is a bit barebones but unobtrusive. Downloaded it real fast for me, and I guess it has auto patching. I would have preferred steam but it being free and all with my graphics card I can't complain too much.

You need to make better use of weather cards it sounds like. Foltest's leader ability has one that nukes ranged (middle tier) characters, so if you can get the two that nuke the other two areas and you'll be set. Play weak cards till you see where he's building up, weaken em with weather and focus on other slots. Or bait him into using all his good cards and winning the first round.
The Clear Weather card is great too for when they try the same tactic on you.
You can come back to face him if you want.
I apparently killed a man with my bare hands, so I don't think so.

This is one of my biggest gripes so far. There's a serious "inventory overload" even super early in the game, and that's never a good thing.
Rather than labeling so many items "crafting components," I'd like to know exactly what I can craft with those items rather than having to constantly go back and forth to the Crafting/Alchemy screens.
It didn't phase me. He earned his punishment.
He was racist scum. Destroyed a man's livelihood and put him in jeopardy of losing his life.
He deserved it.
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Just found the last hidden treasure in White Orchard, got the Butcher of Blaviken achievement. There were like 20 wolves guarding that shit.
Has anyone been able to get the stuff underwater near the Nilfgaurd dudes in White Orchard? Every time I try drowners get me as Im coming back up, I stopped trying.

So the only piece of Geralt's original armor/gear that you need to keep is the chest piece and the swords right?
I was, just swam in and out. It was garbage IIRC, though maybe I missed something (the icon went gray though).
Those that used the Squirrel card set are kind of easy to bait out buffing their archers. It's how I managed to beat the Dwarf and the Madame. Not sure whom the noble is.

Yeah, same here, although they did take me down to a sliver of health right before I surfaced. If I recall it was mediocre gloves or boots and some other stuff.

What for? I kinda discarded them....

Not all of them are quests, they can also be other things. Someone will answer this better than me.

They are components for stronger gear later I believe.
Maybe so, yeah. But thus far he's mostly spread out his heavy hitters. Plus legendary cards like Letho aren't seemingly affected by weather. I've tried different strategies, including weather, but I just have trouble matching him in numbers.
Good to hear I can come back and face him later. Gotta build up my deck. I thought with such a small bet amount and only being the second player you meet he'd be easy.
You need to keep the swords? I still have the armor I crafted up to something else with a diagram, but I sold the swords before leaving White Orchard cause I found diagrams to make ones much better.

Say, how much of an arsehole can you make Geralt be?
Kind of want to play as an arsehole for something new after playing goody-goody in other RPGs.
