Yep. That plus the awesome quests lines make this game way, way too good to be true. Except for the fact that it is.
I am not using sweetfx. lol.
Maxed everything with sharpening on low.

Anyone playing on PC with the GoG version need to nearly triple the volume for it to be identical to your other games? It's a little annoying...
How can i make bombs? Buying formulas from a vendor I suppose? I need to make some for that noonwraith quest near White Orchard, but I have no plans for it.
Also, I tried to fight it yesterday while being lvl 1 (she was 3), and my Yrden trap(which is supposed to be strong against her) didn't do shit. Is it because i'm 2 lvls too low?

Nothing there when I originally arrived but after a little while the enemy appeared out the woods behind where your facing.

Wow that would be one hell of an experience
Wow really? Ok then, guess I'll just go kill a bunch
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Did you oil your sword? That fight went fairly quickly for me, never bothered with the bomb.
lol okay, poor smithy. And that for only 3 crowns.
Wow! Should be a mode in the game or give an achievement. Sounds amazing!
Basic Yrden generally just slows enemies. However beings with a weakness like her take a lot more damage (me thinks like 10 times) than you would do regulary.

The trap won't actually hold her in place. It gives her a physical body that you can then damage. You can kill her at level 1, just put down your trap sign and fight her while she's in the circle. If she leaves it you can't damage her.
I lowered it to 45. The OST is incredible, to be sure, but I wish the devs have been a little more sparing in its application. This is one instance where RDR has the upper hand.
Also, ever since someone here pointed it out, the fact that Geralt's hair tosses like there's a windstorm inside houses is pretty annoying. I'm curious if Hairworks fixes that.

Posting this one last time for the curious/on the fence for XBO.

I played through the forst 1.5 hours sprinkled with my impressions of the game and talk about crafting, repair, and beast hunting.
for those doubting the quality of the XBO edition--in short it's fantastic!!

Get some pooches.
I liked the city until I started to search for a bath.
Yrden doesn't do damage against the noonwraith but allows you to attack it inside the circle. At least I think that's how it works.

Yeah. How do you do this when the honeycomb is above you though? Igni has no upwards spread. Shoot it down with the crossbow...?

Just used it in the general direction, worked good.
Nothing wrong with killing more Drowners. Those fishy demons jsut asking to be splattered on the ground.

Sitting here at work just thinking about playing.
Fuck, this has been such an unproductive week for me. Just been sitting here reading Witcher 3 threads.
PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE THREE DAY WEEKEND.

Just want to chime in to say that I agree with you regarding the combat. The length of animation to get a hit clearly depends on my positioning relative to the creature I am fighting. I prefer this to an immediate response swing which would have caused me to swing and miss.
When there are groups, it comes down to positioning again. I try to align myself so that I place three or four enemies in a 45 degree V in front of me and use Igni. If the enemies are the "teleporting type", I usually use Yrden and position myself with my back to it but out of the range of anything that could get trapped in it. If all else fails, I use Aard and run away.
Oh snap that's great. Witcher 2 didn't work like that as far as I can recall. Some nice optimisation
Yeah, the volume is pretty low for me too. Except for the sound you hear after dying and the Load Save Game appears. That drum thing is LOUD.

I just played for a bit and
helped some kids by giving them food, she gave a me a doll, does that do anything? any particular story arc its related to?

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Super annoying combat thing:
Going into Witcher mode when sword is drawn but combat hasn't initiated. Bandits see me from a mile off, start shooting arrows at me but there's nothing I can do to avoid them because I can't parry.
End up having to charge in, initiate combat, then run away again so I can parry. Pretty silly.

Nice. It will be awhile before I am level 37, lol. Journeyman indeed.

Roll would be A on a 360 controller. But usually you should dodge (B) rather than roll. Quicker, doesn't use any stamina, and sets you up perfectly for the next strike. Rolling is mostly for when you really need to get the hell out of the way.
When on horseback, hold down the attack button to slow down time and line up your strike, then release to attack.

Same here, pretty much exactly. Three day weekend will be so nice.

Yeah, I never played Witcher 2 but everyone I know that played it are raving about this improvement. Much more streamlined and I'm finding myself use these items a lot since I can just refill them easily.
Hey I wasn't advocating not killing Drowners, in fact I encourage it! Just sayin he only needs one brain for Swallows.
Genuine question: why fps suffer so much in the ps4 version when rain in the swamp area? I don't get it. I can't see anything of particular demanding in such graphical effect. I don't see any wet shader or what else. That's really weird. This area it's completely fine without the rain. I need to meditate to avoid this issue. I hope CD will fix this problem faster because it's quite annoying.

Thanks, noted.
Interesting.
Oh, man, this sunken treasure quest is a bit of a nightmare due to the horrible swimming. Why did they put in this shit where Geralt tries to kick away from objects automatically? Such a bad idea. Time for attempt 3...
A doll is a junk item. Notice how that event wasn't a quest and didn't you give XP or anything either. It was just a little event you can come across.

Will keep in mind. Thanks!
This game is a labour if love, the small details in this game continue to blow me away, and we all should encourage and congratulate the devs for pushing for excellence. The writing and facial animation in particular is superb, each character doesn't just say their lines, they act it out. So many varied faces, voices connected with clever lines. Unlike most open world games or RPGs, the interactive NPCs offer ALOT, i for the first time in any game know, that opening a conversation will offer meaningful banter, even if its not progressing the quest. Love this game so much.
CDPR are one of the finest studios in the industry, man i hope they're protected and rewarded. You dont get games of this kind often.

Well, can't see how that could go wrong, will do, will do.
Don't call it junk, you meanie!
It's a precious treasure of a little girl.

I'm having trouble with the Devil that Haunts the Well quest.
It's not activating for me.
The wraith woman won't appear for me, and I've already searched the area, picked up the diary, hoisted the skeletal remains out of the well, and jumped into the well and retrieved the bracelet.

I was so on the fence on whether or not to buy this game. I was really reluctant after dragon age inquisition screwed me over with its phenomenal reviews yet boring story, gameplay, and dialogue. Witcher 3 though is absolutely amazing, one of the best game purchases I have made in a long time. It was worth every penny.
