Good Lord this game is nuts.
Think I'm near the end of the overall Family Matters quests. :O
Just a few pictures from this one vista I found after leaving a cave. Ominous Tree is Ominous. Plus, just crazy how good the lighting is throughout the day, even if the wee hours of the morning aren't very dark.

(love that I went back and forth on these missions and Keira's missions, and finding out about Gran. Wonder what happens if you burn through the Baron's plot there, without going to Keira at all.)

Oh geez, I know what this is, at least already. There are no good results in this swamp, abandon all ye hope and despair.
Which one is
Keira's
It might be a good idea for someone to make in the near future so everyone can discuss it properly, Witcher 3 already has this thread, Downgrade one, and Gwent so alot of Threads at the moment.
Edit: Not even sure A Spoiler thread would work you would only be able to discuss the main quest as alot of characters and interesting things happen in side quests, you would have to gray them out anyway.

Probably but dont worry about it. There's plenty of nice swords in the game.

How do you upgrade/evolve armor? Is it just the stones you attach to it?
Man the creatures here are on another level of creativity. Those Foglings man, the way they turn into mist and eventually take shape is beautiful. God damn this game!!! Spent 4 hours on Barons quest and there's twists and turns everywhere.
This is by far the most fleshed out story telling ive seen in a game, a new benchmark. Id venture forward and say its the greatest use of story ive seen in all of gaming. 10/10 from me holy shit.

Well, first the one that you go with her into the cave that leads to her finding a lamp (and watching the mask elf's "videos". Afterwards, your Ciri clues point to the Bog (witches). This lead me to finding that village with Gran and the kids (serious Hanzel and Gretel stuff going on). Then having to find a character named Johnny, and this eventually leads to getting a mission from the 3 witches to go take care of a forest spirit or something.
My wondering, is if I just went straight to the Baron missions, all the way to going after Anna, would we all show up to that little village with kids around, or any witches?
There's a crapload of world out there, and I've spent 30 hours more or less in this area, and it's been all great.

Had you not seen her at all? Was the "witch" character in Velen, when you first get your directions to find Ciri. She's in a town southeast of where the Baron's main city is.

Haven't been able to play this game much in the last two days. Not a happy camper. I should be able to put in a solid session tomorrow though. Can't wait.
Would love if I could find a setting that would make this every 5 minutes or so. As it is now, I pretty much try to save every time I think a fight is happening, mainly because I kept dying from everything early (not as bad now, as I've hit level 10)

So, it took me 8 hours to beat the prologue. How much left people? At what percent I am?

I suppose that sole characteristic would be the same, yes. But the light armor perk gives bonuses to critical damage and fast strike damage. So the optimal build their is quick strikes (more damage and critical chance), cat school techniques, and light armor.
If you don't get hit a lot, it's a pretty devastating setup.
All the get-ups complement varied play styles, I don't think any is better than any other. Just depends on how one feels like playing.

Oh man, I love using Terrain in this game so much. I went treasure hunting and found two guys that were chased into a cave by wyverns and I climb up to the top to find two. They were level 21 while I was 15 which meant they were red to me.
Instead of fighting them on the mountain, I lured 1 by 1 into the cave just a bit where they couldn't fly away. I popped my Wyvern Concotion (increases damage for every hit you land until potion runs out or you get hit), a Tawny Owl and an Enhanced Thunderbolt hen went to town on the Wyvern because it had limited ways to attack me. Just spammed my swift attack and brought my shield up when it got brought down. My swings were hitting 500+ after awhile and brought it town fairly quickly.
Edit: Oh shit! Royal Wyvern after. D=

Forever.

People called Romanes they go the house?
To answer this,
you can find another merchant with the skill potion later. Unfortunately, I don't recall which/where off-hand, but IIRC it was an herbalist in/close to Novigraad. Also, as time goes on and you keep selling spoils, money starts racking up. I'm in Skellige, admittedly after doing the majority of the quests, and I have near 20k in gold.

Hey Viveks would I be able to handle your Ini tweaks as well as the SweetFX with my pc?
i7 5820K@4.3ghz
GTX 970 G1 SLI@ (100MHZ/300MHZ OC)
16GB DDR4@2100MHZ
840 EVO SSD
Win 8.1
My goal is 30FPS locked and 1440P resolution and of course leave HairWorks on, is that possible?
Also one question guys about the main quests,will I be locked out of some quests if I pursue others? Example:
Keira Questline and the Bloody Baron Questline
Thanks.(This game already looks beautiful without any tweaks,I love it)

The prologue is like nothing compared to the rest of the game.

Death March becomes so much more manageable at higher levels. Right now I'm still doing quests at Velen. I'm trying to get the Griffin gear, then I'll continue with the main quest.

Guys, if I play this game on Death March mode. Will the Gwent card be very hard too?
Like..1% done ? Haha
So I think I've encountered a problem with the Bloody Barron questline.
What do?
I had recieved details of his daughter's whereabouts, and so I then went back to the Barron and told him I knew where she was, and he said go look for her. I then told him I also know where his wife was (since I did that sidequest with the Godling and three witches), and I can't go find the daughter anymore.
What do?

Didn't realize there was a prologue. At the pace I play games it'll take me 20 hours.😁

Just keep doing the Velen main quests.

Secondary quests lock out as you progress through the story anyway so I'd guess the same is true for some at the end, although not all.
Had a grin on my face the first time I encountered one. It killed me but I didn't care.

screw the witch hunters.
Just finished what I suppose is Act 1
Bravo CDPR. This is some of the best writing in video gaming (Ok The Last of Us is probably the best). I got my $60 right there. It's crazy to think there's so much more.
Yes.
That's one thing about Witcher games. Quests that don't seem connected eventually tangle together magnificently.
Keira and Baron's whole quest line including the Crone stuff

Think im going to mod it to stop equipment needing to be repaired, its actively stopping me from taking on the harder Quests/Monsters. I don't have a problem with fighting stuff 8+ levels on Death March..its just sometimes the fight takes so long my Silver Sword needs to be repaired mid fight...
Amazing how the prologue has more content than some full games.
I really wonder what people are doing differently. I'm not on Death March (Blood and Broken Bones), but I've only needed to repair my silver sword 3 times so far out of like 30 hours.
Finally! Decent rain =]
Also the moving cloud shadows were pretty cool here too.
I get the feeling the stuttering while panning the camera at low speeds could be to do with it jumping between speeds depending on how much you've pushed it even at ultra low speeds and right stick movements maybe.

There is actually a small quest line about it. It blew my mind, but those who didn't play the first game won't think anything of it.
When your smacking on a Monster for a good 5-10+ Minutes with Fast Attacks the sword definitely degrades rather quickly. Don't think Certain Death and ??? level monsters degrade my swords faster its probably just the number of hits it takes to kill them.
