That would really be awesome if it works that way. Yup just got it from that boss.

Thought I was alone on this. Swimming sucks balls
I'm scraping the ground when trying to swim forward.
Why can't they just make it so you press the swim button and he goes forward instead of doing nothing
Ugh, i love this game but... I'm stuck in a cave on a main story mission, died like 20 times which is super frustrating with the extremely long loading after each death. I'm only level 5 but i think i've got a weak ass build as well, focus on the shield and stun signs.
Don't have a save before i went down to this cave either. Think i'll give up for the night. Give it a few tries tomorrow again and i'll just restart the game if this continues.

I end up shimmy zig zagging, or swimming directly into the ground, or backflipping like I'm trying to summon my inner dolphin.
Thanks guys for the info! Am I the only one that lurks this thread for good tips?
Enough lurking for info. It's time to contribute!
The merchant in White Orchard near the guard post sells saddlebags if you need them. Also, Sun and Stars is really useful. It replenishes vitality 10 points per second in the day and regenerates stamina one point per second during combat. You can loot in front of guards. Just wait until 12:47 AM when everyone is asleep and not guarding their posts.
*EDIT*
Saw someone ask about finding Saltpeter earlier. Complete the Devil in the Well side quest. Take the reward or decline it then go talk to the herbalist. She gives you 50 crowns and boatload of herbs including four Saltpeter plants.

I'm struggling to make Witcher 2 decisions. Is Triss alive in Witcher 3 if Geralt doesn't save her? Is there an easy way to find Dwarven spirit? I changed my mind and decided to grind potions before leaving White Orchard. Which two potions would you make between Cat, White Honey, and Specter Oil? Where can I find Mahamaken spirit?
Where's the DLC horse armor located?
How far are you into the game? I can tell you the content is pretty substantial and meaty some of them so good and long that I have to check that they are actually side quests and not main quest lines.
Got to find the diagram for it. I found mine in the cache of a bandit camp in White Orchard.

Exactly the quest I'm talking about. I don't think Wraiths should be put in a group; it just needlessly frustrates the player since wraiths can constantly teleport. The mission story wise it is awesome though. Character development and lore tidbits. Enemy encounter leaves a lot to be desired.
I'd like to know this too. The amount of money you get is insulting low while things are expensive.

All these complaints about crashes post patch are worrying, game was running like a charm for me, I'll have to see how it goes tonight.
I've not seen any upgrades, but I assume it is a diagram for an enhanced version of the armor, where one of the base materials is the lower leveled armor.

This game is nothing like dark souls, It's fine to not like it but it's a more traditional rpg.

The story, lore and characters are infinitely better than the combat.
It's the only thing keeping me interested. The combat is a chore.
I would like to know this as well. Is there any way to see if a certain piece of armor is upgradable?
Also, fuck Wraiths!
Ahh that's cool! Again, how do I know if a certain piece of armor I have will be upgradeable later? I can't keep it all in my inventory

Shield is like the most important skill early on. Are you in that Velen main quest cave?
Okay so you mean crafting new armor, not upgrading existing.

I want to play gwent, but I'm getting my ass kicked by the most insane cards.
A card that summons all similar named cards, so instantly the other person has 50 strength in one turn.

The sidequests are so awesome. Some of them are just one off stories while others are long character driven little stories with a lot of thought and effort put into them.
Purposely lose that round. Let the computer waste their good cards on round 1.

Correct, but you need the prior version of the armor, so it is like an upgrade.
So don't dump your starting armor like I did!

I see tools nearby blacksmiths. I assume it's to upgrade. But I shouldn't have to worry about it if I can keep finding higher level armor schematics.

Shame us Digital order folks dont get it
The tools next to the blacksmith are just for a 15 minute buff to your weapons. All upgrading is within the blacksmith's shop menu.

I'd be happy with a simple digital manual...
It was for me,
until my choices led to me having no choice but to kill her after the romantic evening.

Same thing happened to me. I made myself a promise that I'm not reloading my saves for any choice-based consequences, and I'm sticking to that.

After installing Patch 1.03 the game crashes when I start it, a black screen pops up for a second and back to Windows.
I repair the game and says everything's fine.

Agreed. I was gutted, but I pressed on.

How did you end up killing her? For me
the quest ended with me tracking her to Fyke Island and convincing her to go to Kaer Mohren

Oh I beat round 1. Happened to have the right weather spell. Spent 2 more cards than the opponent.
Round 2, two turns summoned like 10 units. Okay I'm done.
Yeah that's the one.

Got the "bad ending" as well. I just chose the upper option every time.
Sounds like you activated his trap card.

Ah, then you should be able to handle it if you only go in when your shield is up and focus on dodging enemy attacks while weaving in a few strikes as necessary. Which section are you having trouble with in that cave?
Got this game on PS4.
I have got the loading screen hang up. I tried 3 methods so far:
*Booted the game up first time with the online patch installed. Resulted in a very long opening loading time, stuttering cutscenes and then the loading screen hang up.
*Used the turn off PS4 and unplug cord trick. Didn't work.
*Uninstalled the game, turned off my internet connection and re-installed the game without the day 1 patch. Same issue, still hangs at the loading screen right after the opening cinematic.
Anything else I can do? Should I try to install the day 1 patch now? At least the game boots quick now.

I followed her to Fyke as well after I woke up. From there I told her that I felt used and hated two faced snakes (choose that you do not like her anymore). Then I demanded that she hand over the records and she attacked, leaving me no choice.
First it was the water hag which i got passed with the help of Igni after like 10 tries. Now it's the damn wraiths that are butchering me.

I think I chose the "You used me" option. Which led to Geralt insulting her hardcore, which pissed her off, so when I told her I couldn't let her take those, she only ever decided to attack me. I wasn't given the option to send her anywhere.
Im not even upset about the map not being connected
Just running around White Orchid made me feel like I was in a living world WAY more than Skyrim or DA ever did
The fact that you can walk for 5 minutes and encounter nothing but wilderness is freaking amazing.
Also, hot damn I love this games sound track
That sound bite that plays when you complete a quest

Yeesh!
I should go back to meet her at the tower, I continued elsewhere after I woke up.
Yep, lol.
