Some of these dialogue options crack me up. The writing in this game is great.

If I suspend the game on PS4 and come back to it a few hours later, the counter will have included those hours in the overall playtime
edit: beaten
Shit. I'm over 30 hours in now, so point of no return as far as I'm concerned. It's a minor, though I'd love to know exactly how long I've played. What a strange bug.

I really hope White Orchard's Herbalist'spatient survives the Swallow potion I gave her.

Yeah, I'm definitely at least turning the points of interest off. I'm maybe an hour into Velen, and I'm really starting to get that Ubisoft icon hunt feel. Can't resist running from ? to ? when they're all around me, and that takes so much away from the exploration.
Ok question time!
1- What are the adrenaline points used for? The white blocks under the stamina bar?
2- When I've created a potion/oil it says I've already created it, does this mean I don't need those materials again?
3. Someone mentioned a
, can I backtrack and grab it?
4. Can I cook raw meat for better health gains, or is Swallow the best thing. Death March diff doesn't allow meditation regen.

Yup! As long as you don't choose one of the beard presets, the beard will grow with whatever hairstyle you choose. I went with the shaved sides and ponytail, every time I stop by the city I get a clean shave and watch it grow. ^^
That's what I do, magical.

This is true. Some on GAF seem to have a limited vocabulary and an infinite capacity for hyperbole though and "shit" seems to cover everything from 'is not quite to my taste' to 'I'm not good at it' to 'is not quite as good as Bloodborne'.
I thought it controlled awkwardly at first coming straight off the back of Bloodborne.
Now I've spent several hours in the game and I'm used to the pace and flow of combat and I actually think it's quite good. It just took a little bit of practice and patience to adapt really.
The first step is to not overuse R3 to lock on. Most of the time the auto lock is sufficient and an R3 lock should be saved for mainly fights against single enemies or once you thin the group out a little.
Realising that dodge is usually way more useful than roll in most cases was a big help.
Learning to split groups up and get fights down to manageable numbers helps.
if you come across mounted enemies you can knock them to the floor with Igni or knock creatures like Harpies out of the air you can walk up to them and finish them off with Square while they are down.
Shield guys and guys with normal light weapons are often quite easy to parry if you watch the wind up for their attacks.

Nah, was just joking about how hard the decision would be since, you know, boobs.
Wise advice. I stopped myself from the constantly setting way points to ?'s on the map pretty quickly, it does make the game less dynamic feeling and takes a bit of that sense of exploration away. Only set waypoints to quests people, and travel to places on foot/horseback. If you fast travel everywhere then you're never going to stumble upon things off the beaten path of your own accord.
This is the wrong thread to go into this but a 10/10 doesn't represent perfect and never has. It just means that, compared to other games of a similar type, this is the best one currently available.

ok lol.

feeling a bit overwhelmed. look at the top. I spent nearly 50 hours in Velen and some of novigrad trying to do everything. I still have tons to do.

1. It increases the more hits your get in without getting hit yourself, and the higher it is the more damage you do, I think. Certain skills also use it.
2. Yes, once you've created a potion you never need the ingredients for it again, just some alcohol to refill it when you meditate.
3. Yeah, just go
back to where Geralt woke up after the dream
4. Can't cook AFAIK. Swallow is where it's at. But you should also get the Sun & Stars skill, which regenerates vitality while out of combat during daytime.
Character screen, R2.
You can go back to the crossroads in White Orchard, use your Witcher senses to find it around the area.

It won't let me D:

Some abilities use adrenaline.
To answer this question though:
When you meditate you will refill your potions if you have hard alcohol in your inventory (eg Dwarven Spirit or Alcholest). It only uses the alcohol to replenish the potions.
If you don't have alcohol but do have the other ingredients you could always try dropping the potion in question and just rebrewing the actual potion.
I can't see why that wouldn't work but I haven't actually tried it because I have lots of alcohol.
Yep, some creatures are weak to specific bombs too. They're incredibly useful in the right context.

Quoting for people who missed it. Really useful, and simple. I went from 42/60 to 5/60. It's nice not to pay attention to how much I'm carrying.

Wow, these are super cool. I might make one for a wallpaper.
Edit: woops. I assumed someone would comment before I hit reply. lol
I understand, I want to sex Ciri, too.
Ew man that's his notdaughter. Geralt isn't about that Woody Allen life.

Need help for getting into Novigrad:
I accepted both the contract from the leader of the guard and the quest from the counterfeiter. But because I didn't rat out the scoiatel the guard gave me no reward. I also failed to protect the counterfeiter's brother in law and now he won't talk to me.
Is there any other way to get a pass or have I screwed myself?

Great to see the modding community already at work.
That said, the weight limit is so lenient in this game that i don't think this is as impactful as the witcher 2's weight mod.
Still, that's just me @ 9 or so hours in. Ask me again after I've played for a few more hours and I might be singing and entirely different tune, lol
Return to Crookback Bog spoilers:
This game is a fucking masterpiece.
Holy fucking shit. Holy SHIT! I chose to release the Lady of the Woods spirit earlier in the game, the children got taken away and the crones got very angry. They turned Anna into a monster, so I lifted the curse, yet she still died. Well shit, I thought.. but then I went back to Crow's Perch to collect my payment and I found the Bloody Baron hanging from a tree. Killed himself because he lost everything he held dear.
This game is a fucking masterpiece.

Haha. Fuck.

She's practically his daughter.
While we get to roleplay Geralt to an extent, I couldn't buy this happening.
Or how about developers start cutting down on copy/paste grinding content, so we don't have to skip sections, without knowing with certainty beforehand whether it's worth doing or not.
Double Posting refers to an old condition that would happen on GAF were your exact same post would show up two, three, maybe even four times in a row.
That doesn't happen anymore and now people apologize for posting two separate post consecutively which is, IMO, not really something worth apologizing over.
In short, you're good: no need to be sorry 😸

That is so sick dude.
Even if you didn't know she is his adopted daughter the game actually explained that, and even showed Geralt trained her when she was a little kid.

I don't really want this game to end, but then I get excited about doing a Witcher trilogy playthrough at some point down the line. Make some different choices.
What a great series it's turned out to be.

There's only so much that can be done sure ing a development cycle.
If we make a comparison TW3's repetition isn't in the same league as Dragon Age: Inquisitions'. I think they did a great job of making the world feel like it's lived in and the quests feel varied.
Also to consider is the fact that Geralt is a witcher and his job is repetitious and specific. The optional side content is his job, it would be almost impossible to not have any repetition there.

If you are looking for the
formulae (not sure if you can get it elsewhere), I found it on an old watchtower (I think it's actually called that). It seems impossible to get onto one of the levels but you can jump onto it if you look for the right place (it's near the broken wall), there are two chests.
Not sure if it's an important formulae for some things yet but it was placed in such a weird place that there must be a reason as to why.

Ciri got hot though. If I wasn't playing as Geralt I would agree with him.

LOL!
I played the game for a bit this morning before work and I just get this awesome feeling playing it. Like I am actually living in and exploring the world they created. I grew up by woods when I was a kid and I am saddened now I cannot explore them like I used to. This game scratches that itch. Its awesome.
There are side new quests that only open up after certain side or main quests are done. Having the guide I have found about 5 or 6 so far and that is only im Velen with hardly any story quests done , so there will be plenty more.
As a example:
For any one that has done the
As a example:
For any one that has done the
Happy Widow side quest, if you return to the same village after 5 days there is another quest to do.
