Not sure if this will make sense but I wish when crafting a potion, bomb, armor, or whatever with a merchant/craftsman that they would just charge you the price of the work and ingredients together and do things automatically. Currently I have to go to the item that I want to craft and look at the required ingredients then exit out of the crafting option and go into the shop tab to buy the ingredients separately, then go back to the crafting tab to have the person craft me the item. It's really inefficient.
Yeah its easy to miss.
I have the same issue. Although I did the quest in the correct order, it just didn't seem to register when I read the note so the quest is stuck at "Read the notes you have found" and won't clear.
My strat was:
Keep Quen up always, wait for Keira to taunt him off me with her spells, and when his back is turned go for those crits. It's hard because Keira's almost too good and she'll blast him into a corner making him difficult for you to attack. I would never try to attack him head on. When he goes down to 66% and 33% he throws up a shield, summons dogs, and starts to heal. It's a long fight mostly because I wasn't able to stop that heal very well.
I feel like they did that to calm the people who were upset with the idea that loot scales. So instead of locking out a really awesome looking sword you can perhaps later find a higher level version of it
I don't know how to quote avatar pics, but if I did, yours would be perfect.

So I ended up getting this game. Quite possibly the worst controls I've ever seen in a big budget triple AAA game. Especially jarring considering how well crafted other stuff in the game is. Pretty fucking weird that they thought it was acceptable or a good idea. I mean in both the actual controls and just the way the character moves.
Game seems interesting. Sometimes the writing is horrible. Sometimes it's actually good. It's a fun time waster for sure. Riddled with bugs though.
TLDR: Typical Western style RPG fare but made with more attention and with an interesting story.

It's hard to say in the moment but I do really feel that this may be the best game I ever played.
If you hate the controls in Witcher 3, Witcher 2 will make you claw your eyes out. I love W3 in comparison.
The asshole priest in act one of the first game soured me on the whole church way back when I played that years ago.
Velen sidequest spoiler:
so when I got the quest from the one priest to burn the bodies, I knew he was crooked from the start.

could geralt move any worse lol. Did no one play this game and be like "uhhh he moves like shit". I can't believe they all developed and thought goodenough.jpg.
Can't win em all I guess.

Just had an epic battle with the *monster contract spoilers ahead*
This game....
Cockatrice. It hit me with an attack that caused bleeding damage and I had to keep dodging and chug my final Swallow potion before I could finally manage to land the killing blow.
This game....

Thank you so much for your opinions.
I felt completely betrayed by DA and I foolishly bought it digital too
I loved Fallout and finished it
JRPGs like Souls/Borne, Dark Cloud 2, and Golden sun are also RPGS I enjoy,though not open world
Do you guys think this praise is just in a honeymoon phase like DA:I?
Sounds like this game manages to be extra special. The sidequest praise sounds great, I like that the world looks nice and varied too

From what I've heard, there's a reason. Also, she's still fun as hell to play. I'd really like a game built around her style.
is there any way to tell, do you know. ?

At some point I gotta get on with the main plot. I'm 7 levels above the recommended level for the next main quest

Who is BB?
You don't really have that kind of detailed character growth systems ,quest design or decision making in GTA.
On a visual level, rockstar creates amazing worlds as evident in GTAV,but the writing( apart from the occasional humor) and gameplay are shallow ,trite garbage.
At level 8 and I still don't completely understand how the leveling/skill selection works. Is there a respec option at any point in the game? There are so many choices and I have no idea what I want to choose yet, I would feel a lot better with a respec option.
Edit: my bad, a quick google search answered for me, potion of clearance is what you use too respec. Feel a lot better experimenting now. Hope they aren't limited.

I'm seriously getting to the point of putting the game down until they fix this inventory crash. It happens about 50% of the time when I go to open it.....

Some of it definitely is. But aside from the movement - which people are divided on - and some technical issues that are hopefully getting ironed out as we type the game seems uniformly great, and I think a lot of people would agree.
Regarding movement, if you're on the fence watch some videos (like Giant Bomb's Quick Look, which is early game stuff) to get an idea of what it's like. It's heavily based on Geralt's current animation, with very few instances where he'll "snap into place" which means every action taken is a commitment. Personally, I found it awkward and unwieldly in the beginning, but have grown to respect and even enjoy it. After some time of playing controlling Geralt becomes second nature, and the animation system makes a lot of sense - to me, at least.

Well, against my better judgement,
Here goes nothing
Well, against my better judgement,
I decided to *Return to Crookback Bog* and the red-eyed devil pony I turned loose on the unsuspecting countryside is behaving badly. The Baron said he was going with or without me, so, I figured I might as well.
I mean, it was evil death pony or let the children get eaten. Sigh, well, the swamp's a-waitin'.

Guys, I think I am in love.
How are you guys finding the witcher contracts?
How are you guys finding the witcher contracts?
I love the places of past battles... many dead bodies, horses, war tools, the ground is burned, crushed, blood everywhere, etc.. they are really looking like there were big battles in the past.. and the atmosphere around this places is so fantastic..never seen such large battle grounds in other games
Still nothing. I don't know. Swam the whole river between both bridges
Are you running PrecisionX, Afterburner or FRAPS ? Game was freezing in my inventory at random (every couple of hours) patch 1.03 fixed it for me... not sure what to say except it sucks
Axii alternate, when it actually works, is pretty amazing. When fully upgraded enemies hit at 60% of their strength and do huge damage to each other, often taking each other out in one or two hits. I don't know if that's a consequence of playing on Death March where enemies hit for stupid damage, but they wreck each other.
Unfortunately the implementation right now seems pretty wonky. I had to do an .ini tweak to get it to work with Delusion, for one thing, and sometimes the puppet will just run around and completely ignore the mobs. Other times he'll just attack me instead. The most effective way I've found to get it to work is to control an enemy that's right next to others, so that he's more likely to immediately attack them.
Inconsistency aside, it can be very effective when it works, and cool to watch enemies duke it out.

You find them on notice boards, if the notice board icons on the world map are yellow, there are contracts you pick up from them.
Totally got over the movement issue right away and this is coming from someone that never got too act 2 in the Witcher 2 because of the combat difficulty. The only issue that I've come across movement-wise is while in combat. It just feels very floaty and when attacks connect it doesn't feel like they did. It just feels like kinda amatuerish combat, especially coming from Bloodborne.
