I didn't play the professor who offers you the Gwent tutorial in White Orchard. He's not there anymore.
Can I still get a Gwent tutorial, or am I SOL?

They go grey when they're done, white when they're not.

Kind of annoyed the Dragon Age thread got locked. It's the only RPG I had to compare TW3 with, and I was wanting to read more opinions on the two
Guess Ill annoy you guys instead
I keep seeing people say the open world in Witcher is more like GTA than Ubisoft collectathon/Dragon Age
I also see comparisons to Skyrim.
As someone who loves Fallout's world, I am hoping Witcher is able to hold my attention throughout the same way, unlike DA that felt very boring and made me lose motivation

Is leaving White Orchard similar to leaving the Hinterlands in Dragon Age: Inquisition? AKA, leave the damn Hinterlands! Or can I explore to my heart's content?
Nice... but what's wrong with Potion's duration?
You can do it in it's entirety without any problems. Personally, I had fun do all the Points of Interest before moving on.

I completed everything in the area, I plan to do the same for every area. WO is a tiny part of the game though.
Finish it out. It's pretty awesome.

So I kind of completed a quest before I was officially assigned the quest. It was a treasure hunt quest at white orchard called "dirty funds", something about deserters in some camp that I have to kill, except I already killed them a while ago and cleared the area. Basically the quest is asking me to read a letter and after doing so a marker is meant to be placed on my map but nothing happens. Going to ignore it but I guess its glitched.

Nothing at all, for some people. Got asked to do this though so I thought I should report back once I did!
Regardless, CDPR need to open the true modding floodgates and give us official tools ASAP
This is infinitely better than Inquisition in terms of stuff to do in the open world. The side quests are meaty and unique and the points of interest, while more cookie-cutter as far as presentation goes, actually have exciting loot or cool rewards.

Once you discover the area the white ? gets replaced with a more specific marker (chest, monster nest, etc). After you complete the area the marker still remains but it turns grey instead of white.
Nice armpit flowers.Finally some decent gear.

Witcher 3 has probably the most well-realised and varied open world that's evern been made. The quality bar for every piece of content is of the highest order. Every quest feels like a main-line quest, where care and thought was put into its design and overall place in the world. There are no meaningless quests, no trivial tasks, and only one collectathon which is a veritable game in and of itself (i.e. the card game gwent). Witcher 3 has minigames like GTA5, but in this they're actually fun; it has Biowarian choice & consequence peppered throughout every dialog; it has deep and engaging mechanics that take time and skill to master; and above all it has an immense open world that ties every single aspect of the game together.
It's a truly remarkable achievement - one of the densest and largest open worlds I've ever had the pleasure of inhabiting.
That appears to be my problem. I cant seem to distinguish the difference between the two colors.

Yeah, exactly - the original request was to make potion usage "feel more Witchery" by buffing the lengths they lasted for.
What do you guys think of the pots in this game compared to TW2? Do you prefer this system?

Anyone do "Now or Never" quest yet? I'm unable to beat the
Is this a glitch or do I suck? I'm leveled high enough for the quest.
Katakan because it recovers its health so quickly.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
The Family Matters quest is getting fairly interesting. Baron sounds kind of like Robert Baratheon, lol. I just
finished the part where I bring the Peller back his goat, and just fought my first bear.
I *think* it's only visible in the mini-map. I noticed it was white in the world map as well after finishing one and seeing it change to grey. Might be a glitch, though.
I was starting to get worried about my beard... But finally, after hours upon hours, it came back! I'm so happy!
That being said, I just ran out of strong alcohol for the first time. Which ones are considered strong alcohol? I have paid zero attention to brewing booze up until this point. Seems I can at least buy cheap stuff to make good stuff.
Also, on blade oils: Are they timed, or limited to a number of attacks? When I have used them, it gave me no indication on the hud.

Are you sure they're not ventilation fans for Steampunk Geralt's power suit?

I liked DA:I, but this game is on a whole other level. This will go down as one of the greatest RPGs ever made, on the same pedestal as Fallout and BG2.
It's probably the Night ? Meditate to the day.
If it's the Master Smith... I don't know.

Any alcohol that you can't drink. You should be loaded with it really. Any area with human (bandits, deserters, etc) enemies seems to have tons of it to loot.
Oils are attacks. I believe 20 hits.

When in doubt, abuse Quen.

I'd use one for the hell of it but they've always been under leveled compared to my sword. I've run across some badass axes that I've used though.

From what I've played, I totally believe this is the case. Sorta crossing my fingers it doesn't pull a DAI and pull the wool away half-way through, but that seems highly unlikely from everything I've seen so far.
upgraded Quen is OP
are you offensively going at him then rolling to dodge or are you letting him attack first then dodging and attacking. The latter works best and you really shouldnt get hit.
The one that is supposed to be near the notice board, and nope it's noon in-game. No idea if this is a bug or what, restated the game to no avail. Slightly annoying...
