Is it recommended to do all the side stuff in the white Orchard before moving on?

I personally chose the more "interesting choice"

I saw that one person had done a pretty accurate scale comparison (not just taking the devs word for it on mileage numbers) between this and GTA V. Anyone done this for Unity? I am wondering how big it is when you factor in the interiors and verticality of its maps since it is certainly one of the largest cities of its kind.

Does every Gwent player have cards they give you if you win, and do they only do it once each?
Picked up a level 33 contract just after leaving White Orchard. Don't think I'll be doing that for a while

Yep or you fail them.
Enjoying it but the controls and the camera is incredibly frustrating at times.
It's bad enough on open ground where you're walking in one direction and you'll suddenly sprint off in the opposite direction for no reason but it's really frustrating during combat due to the delay between pressing a button and him doing anything. It's really putting me off now but hopefully they'll be able sort it out at some point.

Are all areas like that or just the first 1?
Definitely try and find all Stones of Power for ability points.
I think my day and night is glitched. It is broad daylight at night time. It even shows the moon icon near the time. Its only been doing it for a little bit though. Maybe I need to fast travel somewhere or go into a cutscene again to fix it.
I got the griffin armor, I finally look like a witcher and not someone in a Shakespeare play. I also managed to beat Jenny O' the Woods in easily the toughest battle so far in the game. It came down to one hit between us. The battle was great though, you really have to use everything at your disposal to win. Cast Yrden to trap it so you can hit it, use your crossbow to stop the illusions from stealing your health, your bombs to prevent her from transforming, spectre oil to do a bit more damage, potion chugging to give more buffs, sword and armor buffs from the local town etc. It is so satisfying to defeat a foe after you have properly prepared for it.
I cannot imagine myself giving GotY to another title.

Haven't a clue I am still in the 2nd area.
I didn't have much hype going into this for whatever reason and i didn't know much about it other than having seen the trailers. It's a bit of a slow burn to begin with but the game has been getting its hooks into me and I'm really loving it now, about six hours in. Sat at work wishing I could go home and play
You can. It's just better to clear the area before you start the real story because Velen is so huge and can be very overwhelming. There is so much stuff that you can find in White Orchard that will be helpful for the entire game, like bomb recipes and ingredients. Definitely wipe out all the ? marks and do the side quests.
You can go back.

I went and explored the world a bit at lvl 7
I climbed a mountain and found ruins with some chests over the place and a lvl 19 ogre protecting it
I ran like all hell from the ogre but managed to loot the chests. Got me a nice sword with some nice? armor diagrams
anyone knows what I'm talking about?

So I guess the Dirty Funds quest is just bugged for a lot of people. This is going to bother the shit out of me whenever I look at my quest log.

Wait until you see the level ?? creatures. I ran past a level ?? Griffin and it just landed near me to one shot me.
I restarted from scratch and it worked.

Thanks, so I just need to find the right schematics to upgrade stuff.
I would play The Witcher: Gwent on steam. Though would need a better client/interface though. Make they interface as simple as Hearthstone and it could do really well as a f2p/pay for packs kinda thing.

I knew something was up about the total play time...Mine says that it's already at 3 days and 4 hours. I know that I have not played that long, not even close. I'd say 1 day and a half at most. So that got me thinking, is it based on the in-game time? Like with meditation and just time passing by?

I must be missing something...How do you use secondary weapons or the crossbow?

Equip them in inventory, select them through the quick menu (default tab) and use middle mouse to aim and fire. If you have a torch selected geralt will pull out and hold the torch.

You have to equip them in your inventory, then you can press L1 and select them. Press R1 to use selected item. (items are in the bottom)

I see
I did investigation before i did this quest. Asked the townsfolk for who info and the vast majority basically kept saying the tree was evil. Talking to the tree too made it seem like it was appealing to humanity trying to save the kids, but didnt care what happened afterward in an evil way. So i decided to end the tree right there and then. We were able to save Anna with her lost mind in which the Baron finally made a meds with his Daughter while taking his wife to go get aid in the blue mountains.
both ways i felt were evil to their devices, i think i just went with the less evil route. Geralt had an interesting monologue to say with it too.
Yep definitely agree this is a gold mine they should take advantage of.
Saved the tree because it seemed like the most interesting choice, plus the Crones seemed afraid of it I thought hey if it poses a threat to them it might be good to release it. Baron hanging himself seemed like the better choice, definitely not a happier ending but I enjoyed it more.

some saves are getting corrupted on xbox one, they are suggesting a hard reset so here I go

Enhanced Dragon's Dream is awesome. Throw 3, cast igni, big flame of fire/explosion, lots of damage. The bomb lasts for 30s once thrown it so you just gotta ignite them so when there's a huge group of enemies I throw all 3 down and boom with my igni. 400 damage from each bomb.
Also, why can't Geralt use a torch while riding his horsie. He can with swords but not a torch?

Don't know about secondary quests, but you can still go there and can still do ?'s and treasure hunts -- I've done so myself.
First time I've heard someone say they have a lot of money, lol. Finally getting some cash myself; never been so broke in an RPG before. Just repairing is insanely expensive; there was a time when I couldn't even afford to do that so I was carrying two sets of every sword, lol.
What? Corrupted saves? That sucks. Make sure to save in multiple save slots as usual for RPGs.

Is the An Eye for an Eye quest broken for anyone else?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I recommend doing all the White Orchard quests as there's really not that many, they're short, and the rest of the locations are basic monster nest/bandit camp/find treasure stuff that teaches you the open world formula before entering the real world. Clean it out, move on.

yeah I do have other saves so it won't be a complete loss just annoying
also apparently don't suspend the game, always close it out completely (xbox one)
Some quests fail if you don't do them and leave White Orchard. I had one happen to me so had to restart.
