Yeah, I'm not fond of this myself. Not to mention the game doesn't soft-save after encounters, nor does it seem to let you save in certain situations.

is this game super heavy on town/conversation type stuff, or is it more about exploration and combat?
How would you place it against something like dragon age inquisition?

Some of the Witcher contracts are hard. Jenny in the Forest/Woogs (whatever) is pissing me off. Think I'll come back to that at lvl15.

Can you make a new, temporary windows account for the purposes of transferring the save, then move it back to your main account and delete the temp one?
Annoying oversight to work around, but better that then not being able to import.

How dumb is Geralt that he can't dismantle a water filled jug into an empty jug himself, he needs a blacksmith to do that. Witcher 3 logic.
Made another windows account, managed to import the save there. Geralt appeared with the tattoo. Saved the game in the chamber with Yennefer and loaded it up on my original account but the tattoo was gone. ._.
Will have to work on this a bit.

I started reading about it just after I arrived in Velen. I considered going back. Wouldn't have lost much time at all.
Didn't.
Fuck.
Why on earth would the tattoo be gone. Makes no darn sense. Sorry to hear that.
Funnily enough i didnt think this bit was too bad. Other fights in the game -
the wraiths after the botchling and the super HP regenerating werewolf
I really, really appreciate that CDPR tried to make an open world game where the combat is engaging but also requires reflexes and attention. However I feel the balancing sometimes very slightly crosses the line into unfair rather than challenging.
Haha.
Pity, because the magic lamp one is great and has no combat iirc.
Um, the tattoo might still be there, play past that part until you get out into the tutorial area.
Edit: Takes like 15 minutes at most.

I know what you're thinking but it appears in the tutorial too if you have it. Least it did when I started back on launch day.
I'm starting to like the combat. As soon as you stop trying to play it all fancy like Arkham series, it becomes really cool. The sidestep mechanic is really good, and kicking an opponent's ass without losing a drop of blood feels great, like you really outmanuevered them to victory.
Yo, how the fuck do I take down Jenny o' the Woods? I'm at the right level for the quest and can't make a dent. I'm following the bestiary too and I'm even starting the fight at 4:00am so the sun comes out shortly after (I'm not sure if this actually does anything). Maybe I should out some points into Yrden and try again later.
I had it when I started the game in the chamber with Yen but it was gone when I walked outside of that room and it re-appeared after the area was done.

Ohhh that makes a lot of sense.
I didn't save Triss and answered that way with the simulated save.
That's pretty awesome. God I love these games. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Also does anyone know if you can craft armor/weapon repair kits or at least a place where I can buy quite a few of them?

Going out of town for the weekend so my Witcher binge is coming to an end. 16hrs, level 7, and feels like I'm nearing the end of the "Family Matters" quest. Man, this game. It's scale is unbelievable, world engaging, and really opens up once you start to use all the different facets of the game in concert. Feels like I've hardly scratched the surface.
Will have this game on my mind this weekend, can't wait to return!

I also had problems with it, but figured it out after a few deaths, what I did is:
After doing Yrden to make it visible, stay in the trap and wait till it attack you first, block and then counter strike 2-3 times, then repeat. Do not hit it until it's out of the circle or it will rush at you in it's ghost form and deal some big damage. The illusions are it's way to replenish it's health so move quick and beat them down. Repeat again with the real one until it goes down for good.

So I just restarted a Death March save ~25 hours in. There's something wrong with me.

I really hope is sooner than later, last night I was crying my eyes out because I was forcing my eyes a lot, even though I need glasses and I dont have them but the font is really tiny.

It's a quest item, so if you don't mind missing it, you don't need to.
Nope.
I gave him some money afterwards and he was very happy. Only 20 out of the 70 crowns I had made beating him down, though.

For the one guy who wants to feed his family? No, but I spoke to him afterwards and gave him the purse.

anyone on this?
I think they mean clunky control-wise. Which, I think Dark Souls has better control honestly.

More exploration and combat than conversation, but the conversation certainly isn't absent. Exploration is sometimes in the wilderness and sometimes in towns. Sometimes you'll go a while without a fight. But conversations don't last for hours, and exhausting dialogue options is usually a pretty fast process.

Good strat. I'm only a level 6, though, I'll hold off until I gained a few more levels before attempting again.

You can skip all the talking if you feel you have to but you'd be doing yourself a disservice. The talking is actually good here.

What's the best way to approach Velen? Follow the main story at first, or just start doing stuff in the vicinity of where you're placed. I see the main mission is lvl 5, so I guess you're not supposed to go after it immediately?
You get the key from accepting a Notice Board quest in the town near the Manor.

The merchant you saved on your way to White Orchard sells it, as well as some accompanying horse gear, just at the edge of town.
The very first merchant had it and a few other Temerian items for sale, but it's like 1000 crowns for the set (more like 1500 if you grab the horse stuff too).

I'm playing through witcher 1 and 2 before jumping into 3. What I love about this game is that I don't have to create a character, I tend to prefer jrpgs because of that. It makes me enjoy the story a lot more.
uh, if I restarted. im already 20+ hours in and im not a nut like you sir
