Can you from white orchard to valen completely on horseback, instead of fast traveling?

Nope.

oh great more fucking bloodborne dicksucking.

combat is better to be sure, and bloodborne is a great game but it's not doing much more than combat and falls short in a lot of ways many other games excel. Narrative and story presentation for example (they're shit to nonexistant to incoherent)

I'll have to disagree strongly with the bolded, but I suppose TW3 thread isn't really the place to argue about Bloodborne.

I quoted a comment that specifically was speaking about Bloodborne's combat system...

I also have no qualms 'dicksucking' Bloodborne's combat system. It's the best ARPG combat system there is.

No, I wish though.

The story and lore are there but the players actually have to look for them not everything is presented to the player xD

 

[flipswitch]

No, I wish though.

So the game is just a bunch of large maps that you can only can enter or leave via fast travel?

Who are these idiots challenging Geralt to fistfights? Anyone smart would take one look at him and GTFO.

 

[RedAssedApe]

i wasnt paying attention and started doing the missing brother contract...wtf level 33...why did they even give this to you this early? lol

currently playing through 1 and 2 so im ready for 3 when i buy it next month and i ask myself that same thing
easy money though

This is the glitch with his arm. Sometimes he'll pause and put his hands together like he's messing with something. Nothing I've tried makes it go back to normal

 

[jim2point0]

What did you use to get those shots? Any particular ini settings used or mods? Looks gorgeous.

Little bit of ReShade and these INI settings.

Happened to me earlier. Save (in a new slot to be safe) and reload.

Yeah, I just made a bunch of money from fights.

I'm also happy that the fistfighting is much better than the QTE mess in TW2.

 

[RoadHazard]

I think I'll be turning the ? markers off. I don't want this game to become an Ubisoft icon hunt. Maybe I'm weak, but seeing all those ?s around me I just can't help picking the closest ones off - "ooh, there's a ? right over there, better head right for it!" - and that just takes away from the exploration for me. Can't help it. So I think that what I'm gonna do is turn them off, let these things happen dynamically as I explore instead, and then turn them on again once I'm nearing the end of the game (or maybe after, since you can keep playing after the main story is over).

Not always, but she has alot. Some of it is quite expensive though. She does have the plants for the spectre oil, it is where I got them.

Kinda, it has 2 huge maps, and 2 or 3 small ones. You won't be hopping from map to map constantly like in dragon age, the 2 huge maps are really, REALLY big.

Much thanks, didn't know you were the guy behind dead end thrills, love your work!

I'm level 5 and can take out a single level 9 ghoul no problem, but throw 4 level 5 ghouls at me and suddenly Geralt loses all competence.

Cannot grasp how to fight groups of enemies, especially wraiths.

 

[CSX]

So i got this objective to make a potion out of drowner pheromones to trigger a battle...sounds quest specific and yet isn't on the list of available potions to brew.

Do i really have to leave and find something who knows how to make it or am i dumb and not understanding this objective correctly?

 

[GodParticle]

Happened to me earlier. Save (in a new slot to be safe) and reload.

Thanks. That did the trick. I thought I had broken his arm during combat at first haha

 

[Kard8p3]

I have a few questions regarding hairstyles.

1. If I just choose a hairstyle and leave my beard alone, will it continue to grow?
2. Is there an option to shave my beard and have it re-grow? or only other beard options that don't change?
3. I'm assuming there is an option to go back to default?

Alternate mode quen is a life saver. Free heals all day. If you're playing on Death March make sure to get it asap.

Well I was told to make a potion for a quest but I have the potion and no use for it could it be the samething lol?

 

[Apoleptica]

Wow, that's amazing, especially the first one.

Thanks! That first screenshot by Obliterator is what gave me the urge to give it the oil filter in the first place. The screen cap already looked like a painting, just needed a slight adjustment lol. It's an amazing shot, took me a little while to notice the little destroyed house on the right side too.

This might be the most unstable game I've ever played in my life. Just seems to crash if I look at it wrong.

 

[squidyj]

The story and lore are there but the players actually have to look for them not everything is presented to the player xD

name two engaging characters that you would know from playing bloodborne.
describe to me what you are doing in bloodborne.

They do a much better job at world-building than story or storytelling.

 

[Neverfade]

I picked up a Devil's Puffball somewhere in SW Velen and then lost some progress -- now I can't remember where I got it and I don't want to pony up for the recipe in town. Anyone know where it was?

Also looking for a location on some insectoid oil!

 

[Zomba13]

So uh, why doesn't this game have a photomode? More games should have it as a feature. It's the best shit in Driveclub, InFamous, The Order etc. You can kinda make one with Cheat Engine http://www.ibtimes.co.in/how-enable-witcher-3-wild-hunt-photo-mode-tool-guide-633201 but like, I want a supported one that I can just activate from the menu and fly around and fiddle with stuff and make cool shots.

Eilleen the Crow, Father G his story is very interesting

 

[patapuf]

How can I do preparations when I'm missing ingredients for some of the stuff and the game doesn't tell me where to find them?
Like if i need a certain oil that a monster is vulnerable to but that oil requiers a type of herb in order to create, should I move across all the map until I'll find it?

Must be a less tedious way, what am i missing?

Herbalists sell most herbs and stuff.

 

[CSX]

Well I was told to make a potion for a quest but I have the potion and no use for it could it be the samething lol?

No cuz i did that mission already lol

I noticed that it's potentially a bug. On the bottom of the start menu when cursor is on alchemy, it shows the latest recipes you learned/obtained and one of them is the potion needed for the quest. However it doesn't show up on the list of potions i can potentially brew including running to a herbalist and seeing if it pops up under shop conditions

 

[Ushay]

Oh boy. I just stepped out of the hut after speaking to someone about

Spoiler

tracking a Griffon

and out of no where the weather changes, wind blowing violently, the trees are waving vigorously and Geralt's hair is flowing all over. I have my headphones on so can hear every bit of sound effect in the wind.

This is already my GOTY.

I honestly just think the combat, targeting system, controls and camera fall apart when you're fighting a group.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Love how when you create a new item you never have to go searching for the ingredients ever again.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

I see.

Can I get rid of my books in my inventory that I've already read?

Unless it's quest related yes you can to the right type of merchant. If not try to dismantle?

 

[Akiyama_AE]

I think I'm gonna hold on to my trophies I have a feeling somewhere out there there is a merchant thats gonna pay a good amount for them..

 

[Apoleptica]

Some more oiled screenshots, last one including ui for fun.

 

[idonteven]

horse racing is so tedious because of the clunky controls on a horse

 

[flipswitch]

I wish there is a way to have several items available to use without going into the inventory. I mean items to consume, as far as I know you only can have two ( up or down on the d-pad)

If I up the difficulty from medium to the next hardest, will meditation still replenish my health?

No, it won't. It's a good thing IMO. Makes you play more cautiously.

 

[SomTervo]

I honestly just think the combat, targeting system, controls and camera fall apart when you're fighting a group.

You are definitely not meant to use lock-on when against a group. If you adjust the camera in little ways you can basically get by without lock-on in most cases.

I think the combat and controls work fine against groups but you basically always need to be repositioning and dodging. It's literally find good footing to win a lot of the time

 

[ChubbleDucks]

I'd like to know this too, which is why I'm trying to complete everything in white orchard before progressing.

What's this tutorial people are speaking off? are they referring to the

Spoiler

dream

at the start of the game?

Yes you can go back to white orchard.

People class white orchard as the tutorial as this is the area that majority of the control functions and basics of the game are told.

 

[Corum]

Had a fun moment last night, after the griffin minor spoiler:

Spoiler

When you're in the tavern with Vesemir about to leave White Orchard and the bandits attack you, I just throw a grapeshot bomb and the entire room just exploded! There were limbs hanging in mid air during the cutscene. It was an easy way to get the Butcher of Blaviken achievement.
