Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Narrative first and foremost. Witcher 1 was not a looker, and released the same year as Crysis. Witcher 2 was, but had its own technical limitations, and funnily enough released the same year as Crysis 2. Witcher 2 held its own visually, but yeah, the series praise is primarily focused on the narrative, characters, and quest design more than anything else.
That being said, I personally think Wild Hunt plays far and away the best of the three and more and holds its own.
If anything it rewarded you kinda, was saying there's no need to ask a specialist where to find it because you did on your own. Quest didn't fail, just don't need to do that step anymore.This is what i see in my Quest Log now
Just because i got item before i even started that quest. It killed my exploration spirit
That's great to hear!
If I don't have a Witcher 2 save game, should I just go ahead and simulate one?

Wait, what? Who are these guys? We still talking about the quests centering around the tower?
Yes, if you want to make a few choices that slightly impact the game.
I have Devil By the Well - level 2

Just keep doing the Witches side of the main quest in Velen and you will run into her.
It's in White Orchard. I can't recall where.
Interesting I didn't know that. The story is fantastic and the character development has me in it till the end. Which considering how much I loathe the actual gameplay is a huge feat for the game and really shows just how great the narrative is.
Is it based on a book?
Family Ties spoiler:
Follow Kiera's quest line, she will tell you to go to the bog and talk to the crones, it will come naturally.

Inventory Screen Geralt glitched out and became a ghost!
And then so did all the townsfolk! AAAHHHHH
I am a big fan of this bug, it's only happened once before a dozen hours ago, both times it's hilarious.

Im still early on (lvl 5) and am in Velen. Anyone notice that those axes bandits use do much more damage that the swords that you pick up and can craft? I can't be the only axe wielder can I?
These Monster hunts are the best part of the game, in my opinion. I know there's some big pieces of DLC coming up 'til next year, but I hope CDPR continues to add additional Witcher contracts and monsters.
Well, if they don't, I'll have to rely on the mod community once I get this for PC. >_>

This game looks incredible at times. Like original trailer incredible.
If you get rain while the sun is setting or rising it just takes it up to a entirely different level.
Also going to the swaps at sunrise (5-6am) it just looks astonishing.
Best looking game I've ever played and the game itself is incredible.
This is the best all round gaming experience I've had in years, I'm awestruck.

Thanks - I really needed roll for the Griffin fight since dodge doesn't move you far enough away if you're trying to hit his flank/back.
Will try to kill someone from horseback tonight.
Wasn't that talking about the herbalist in White Orchard? Collected a ton of honeycombs, never got an option to sell them to her.
For me, definitely. I loved bloodborne but witcher 3 is something else.
I'm not having problems with combat. I like how heavy geralt feels. For me the combat is very soul-ish.
Quests, voice acting, graphics are very good.
Things i didn't like are the awkward swimming controls and the crossbow. It takes too long to aim the crossbow and you can't move while aiming. And i think one shotting drowners underwater with the crossbow is just silly.

So sick of that stupid horse constantly pulling against me when I'm riding, just go in a straight line you bastard!

That is what I cannot stand. Why can't they make it so you only focus when manually locking on, like in every other kind of 3rd person combat...

Yes. They're licensed "unofficial" sequels to the Polish series, so the stories are new but characters/lore/etc are from the novels.
ahh. Thank you. I've been running around like an idiot for like 2 hours.
Can't you hold X (or whatever the roll button is) to take off the "lock" and go to the archer? That's what you have to do if you want to run away from a threat. It should work the same way to get to someone in the back.
I'd test it out again to make sure I'm correct/not losing my mind, but I'm away from the game at the moment.
Herbalist in White Orchard. Main questline will show where she is.

For situations like this why not just sprint past the other enemies? When sprinting in combat you will not strafe around the nearest enemy. Of course if you just used a sign you probably wont have enough stamina to sprint very far, but a full stamina bar will allow you to cover a large distance during combat.

Yeah, agreed. I fucking loved GTAV (so much so that I triple dipped, 360/PS4/PC), but this is one of the best games I've played in years, no hyperbole. I got it with my GPU but I may just buy the PS4 version anyway to support them.
I love CDPR.
I think I missed that because I already had the herb needed. Mind marking her on a map?

West of the village. You should see an herb icon on your world map.
Tbh, you don't need to grind for cash at all. Just get to witchering. You get 250~ crowns per contract and the miniboss at the end drops a trophy, a bunch of alchemical stuff and an item (want to say swords only).
I had 3k by level 12 and now I have over 10k with practically nothing to spend it on.

Gerrod's the main character of the game. Sitrust is the person he's after.
Dude are you even playing The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt?

the first few hours felt like an uphill struggle but once you have your shit together prep wise (oils/potions etc) and have started shaping your build via the skill tree you become really powerful

Have we heard of any of The Witcher 3 devs after all these awesome reviews and and the great reception of players?! I would love to see or read some reactions from them.
The details and attention and, well everything that was poured into this game, it must be a extreme joy to have all this hard work paid off.

I know I'm far behind everyone but that frying pan mission was gold. Geralt's deadpan (hehe) humor was spot-on. Love it.
Really needing the font size to be fixed, I find myself perpetually squinting at the screen for no reason.

Holding the left stick forward seems to override any automatic horse movement. If you're just holding sprint then the horse is probably trying to glue itself to a road or just avoid stuff that it might run into.
