I wish they never gave us the option or made undiscovered areas invisible on the map.
Really torn right now...I might(will)miss a ton of stuff if I turn it off.So really it could end being even mored OCDish
OK this started kind of funny, but if I uninstall the DLC it won't load my save, therefore beard growth seems to be lost to me forever.
Not amused.
True. I updated my post to better articulate my thoughts. It's everytime I get control of the camera that I'm blown away. The cutscenes feel less impressive because of how fixed they are. Even the scripted sequences don't really show how beautiful the engine really is. Understandable given the scale, I guess.
Yeah never buy weapons or armor.

Man, comparing Vizima in TW1 with TW3... After the first audience with
you (TW1 spoiler)
Indeed, can't be said enough, you'll end up finding a diagram to craft it or even the equipment itself, check points of interest for loot.

walk through the garden where you wake up after the final boss. So good.

Ah yes, I see what you mean. The directing in cutscenes is most of the time not existing and switches just between to people standing infront of each other. A bit disappointing, more expressions and activies while talking would've been nice.

is there a fix for the stuttering camera on the way for consoles? or is this a problem with my controller?

I've learned pelts sell quite well, so hunting is profitable. Don't dismantle them all - sell a whole bunch, and that should help offset the cash lost through repair bills (which are pretty damn high).

Are you doing repair all?

One item at a time - didn't see that there was a repair all option.
Yeah, it's a monumentally asinine decision. Just disable beard growth when using a custom beard and re-enable it when a user elects to revert back to a clean-shaven state.
Funnily enough once I got all of the gear I had found some better stuff during my journey to get the griffin gear. Took me a while to find the journeyman blacksmith too.

Yeah, that would have been the perfect way to do it imo.
I won't be using the mini-map, and I'll be turning off the '?' on the main map too, even if it means I miss stuff. Exploring the world 'organically' means more to me than making sure I don't miss every little POI. I think it defeats the purpose of having a huge open world crafted for you to explore if you just magically know where every single POI is.
I understand some people don't have the time to spend looking for POIs for hours on end, and some people simply might not care to, but I wish devs would put some more thought towards people who don't want everything marked on maps for them, but also don't want to miss important loot and quests. And making parts of the map invisible that the player has yet to explore would be the perfect solution for that.
Ooookay. The game clicked. Last night I heard a loud clicking noise as I butchered a bunch of men and took down a Griffin. I also heard clicking in conversations with the black ones. Shit loads of clicking all around.
It started out feeling like another open world WRPG that I've played 100 of and all feel exactly the same. This is like the others, but it's actually a good one.

I've taken to burning the beehives off trees/houses to flip the honeycombs back to merchants for a nice little piece of Witcher 3 moneys. Much safer than hunting packs of vicious dogs who don't have a single cooldown programmed into their animation cycle.

Similar to that I couldn't help but smile when I realised the tutorial was in Kaer Morhen and you see people from W1.

For steel swords I always have spares in my inventory, there are a lot lying around.
If I do have to repair a weapon I just sell crap, you can carry a lot of stuff with you which you can then sell.

Yeah it's not as amazing as I had hoped but it's a lil better than my previous gear and I'm only lvl 10 despite almost 18hrs in plus all my other diagrams are too high lvl. I figure by the time I do all the side quests and head up to novagrad I'll have the lvl/money etc to use the other stuff I have.

Odd, my clean-shaven look has already needed to be re-applied twice already (soon to be a third time), and I'm rocking the same haircut as you.
I was kind of hoping there would be an option to disable beard growth, lol.

The herbalist lady in White Orchard buys them for a large sum (there's a note on the tree in town that tells you) which is the easiest way to make a decent amount of money early on.

Indeed. As someone who read the books it was also nice to get a glimpse of their lifes at that point in time, even if
it's just a dream. At first I thought it was a flashback but Yenenfer wasn't there during Ciri's training, only Triss, which gave it away right from the start.

thanks for poiting that out
they should definitely make it an option either ingame or in the menu to let the beard grow or not
It's not a decision, sounds more like a bug. The DLC shouldn't stop beard growth.

Up till 3:30am last night and already want to jump back in. I went traveling around killing bandits and reclaiming their camps.
I did ask last night but I don't think anyone knew but I'll ask again. At one of the places where bandits are situated after you take it back an old man lives there. Just one hut situated at a crossroads.
He mentions about monsters roaming the Elven burial grounds near Midcopse. Has anyone found this or know the location on the map? Thought I'd go and check it out.

This has me entirely more irritated than it should. Loved the short life of Geralt's dynamic beard.

I was particularly curious to see how Yen would react at the mention of Triss and their love life in general. I enjoyed that dialogue even though Yen should've been more pissed but I guess Geralt has the memory loss excuse. I still expect Yen to give Triss a piece of her mind, don't let me down CDPR.

I got the ponytail and short beard and it's growing back. I'm gonna try the goatee and see if it grows with the goatee being longer.
It looks so majestic worth hair works too
The what bug now? Sounds hilarious
Absolutely loving it so far.
Atmosphere is about the best ive ever seen in an open world game. Love the whole day/night and weather cycles. Amazing.
Sword play is great and you really have to be on your toes with the harder diff levels.
Few things shit me, but overall - GOTY so far. Can see the love an attention put into it.

It's intentional. Someone posted a comment from CDPR about it, I want to say yesterday, and the underlying logic is that the user wouldn't have the DLC installed if they didn't want custom beards/hairstyles so growth is stopped entirely, which isn't exactly sound. As I said a short while ago, beard growth should be enabled/disabled on-the-fly depending on whether or not you're actually using a custom beard.

I almost wish there was a marker for changes in the world after quests. The early one about the griffin attacking the guard was great. Basically, if you give
That's fucking neato.
Also fuck the troll that repeats a certain meme. Killed him outta spite for that.
her a potion, then return later on in the game, you'll hear that she left the hut, taken away by the other guards without a word.

Damn. Doesn't make any sense. What you're saying is the only lgical way of doing t.
Exactly how it sounds literally The Flash Witcher which is way too overpowered even for Death March. Was amusing before but now I can't play 5 minutes without it happening so can't get immersed in the world anymore. Happens so much I've recorded like 4 vids of it.

Haven't heard of anyone else getting this here though :/

The game crashed on me 4 times today.
By the way the NPC faces are so good.

Jesus, this game. I've been exploring for hours and hours, finding all kinds of incredible stuff, when I happen to walk into a seemingly abandoned village and suddenly step on something that explodes. Turns out the whole place is booby-trapped, and when I follow the trail who should I find but *BIG, AWESOME SPOILER ALERT*
MOTHA FUCKIN' LETHO! I'm off questing with him now and it's the coolest thing! He was just holed up in this abandoned town waiting for bad guys to chase him down when I strolled in, then we leapt out the window and fucking smoked some dudes, and now we're hunting down the guy who sold him out!
