Just wait until you try Quen. Although honestly a lot of the tougher enemies in the game become rather easy to evade, you can still Quen your way through the mobs that love to get cheap shots in.
Light up your torch. You need to equip it from the inventory first.

I think he gave me some crazy ass sword.
Nah, Quen runs out. Easy to get hit consecutively. Also, not to mention Quen takes your whole bar while you can turn enemies into allies with a sliver of stamina.
Axii, puts them on your side, and then you chop down your "ally". You won't even get attacked once if you do it right. Fighting multiple groups? Axii a couple of them and they'll kill each other until there's one left.

Good. I didn't feel like spending money anyway!
There was one other puzzle where it gave me the choice to either help out the
burwick or kid fairy or whatever
During the conversation, they were pretty shitty to my boy, but I didn't wanna drop their hopes. So I fixed the problem by making the offerings be literally anything.

So is it almost pitch black in caves for anyone else? Can't see shit in them.
I'm currently level 8, just met the Bloody Baron and Gretka for the first time. Baron seems like a great character and Gretka is about the cutest little video game girl I've ever seen. I'm positively terrified as to what may yet befall the both of them.
When should I start looking into finding the Witcher school armors? I found some stuff for Cat school but it's way ahead of my level. What's the best armor currently usable for me? I just made some upgraded hunter or mercenary armor (the yellow and black one) that has 64 defense.

It's been said many times before, but the sheer amount of quality content in this game is staggering. I'm throughly impressed by this game and there's just so much more to do and see.

Dark is dark. There's often torches you can light (you'll see them with witcher sight).
Or just drink a cat potion
At level 8 you can go get the griffin gear items. The quest isn't too difficult and the armors are unlocked at level 8 anyways. It's a lot of fun and has a good story behind it if you pay attention to the notes.

damn this weird blur and out of focus screen happens too often now and it loads when it happens ugh
Yea I'll keep you guys updated, though I'm sure people that are farther in the game will figure out the optimal builds before I get there. I think you're right though, the sign intensity may become overkill after a certain amount. I think I'm going to stick with feline for now. I'm not going to worry too much about being completely optimal right now - I can always just respec.
yes. I think the cat gear looks great.
Haven't posted in this thread as I've been utterly enthralled by this since it came out, but I just had to stop and say how brilliant it is. The writing puts so many other games to shame, and the music is perfect.
The quality has been consistent as well, even down to the minute long quests. Impressive for such an enormous game. I must be 50 hours in and I haven't even gone to the Skellige Isles.

I love the game.

Keeping my cool while she was being tortured in the Hunter barracks was gruelling to say the least, really cool and fucked up situation CDPR set up for us there. I chose to let her go in the end as well which was brutal and actually made me feel horrible, there's very few games that have ever made me feel like that, but Yennefer is the one for Geralt.
I love the game.
SargerusBR
I love Pokken!
So i need some advice regarding Keira Metz:
If i had sex with her and let her go to Kaer Morhen does that complicate things up with my LI (Triss or Yen) ?

A lot of shops seem to vanish when you move away from the area, it's definitely pretty annoying.

Ah it seems levelled up Axii is also crazy powerful then. Quen grows well since it allows you to take multiple hits eventually and also stuns enemies when it breaks leaving time for a critical and escape. I think I'll give Axii a go on my next playthrough. Currently on Death March so it may prove pretty handy.

Seems to be glitched, since everything else sticks. You can find the damn fish head salesman anytime you want, after all.
I actual fast traveled out of Novigrad in the middle of a quest to repair my shit, then fast traveled back. Hope it's fixed soon.

I'll have to try that. I'm just terrible at getting away from him. Hits me pretty hard and regens his health all the while. Watching Game of Thrones with the wife now, but he'll get his before I sleep tonight.

The character models for returning characters
seem weirdly poor in comparison to the rest.

Seriously, this game is a masterpiece. I'm loving everything about it.
Combat is very fun. I admit controls can be improved though.
I spent quite some time fighting pirates, bandits. Large groups. BBB difficulty.
Having to keep moving constantly, use signs, bombs, potions. It's really fun.
CDProjekt, you have my wallet.

and since im OCD
how many hours with side quests?

Around 30 if you take your time, The Witcher 2 is relatively short for an RPG although there is somewhat unparalleled branching for the second act which makes a second playthrough very worthwhile.

Anyone know how to level up faster? Been doing a lot of the (?) on the map as well as doing witcher contracts and side quests but after doing a ton of those I'm still only level 13. My story mission is like recommended 16. I have all these level 25-40 armor and weapons and I can't use them lol

I'm digging the bearworks here.Hairworks looks so good on bears.
Still trucking away at sidequests over here. Getting around in Skellige takes a shitload of time though. Looks absolutely gorgeous, however. Out-Skyrims the Skyrim look.
Oh ok, where do I go to start the quest?

Some interesting info folks.
Max level is 70 which means 69 skill points earned through leveling, this does not include additional skill points gained through Places of Power.
Combat (Red) skill tree has 20 skills total with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tier of skills opening at 10, 20, and 30 skill points invested. A total of 91 skill points is required to max out the entire Combat Tree, which is naturally is impossible unless you invest all 69 levels worth of points and find an an additional 21 Places of Power.
Signs (Blue) skill tree has 20 skills total with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tier of skills opening at 6, 18, and 28 skill points invested, A total of 79 skill points are needed to completely max out the Signs skill tree.
Alchemy (Green) skill tree also is 20 skills, 2nd tier needs 8 points, 3rd tier is 20, and 4th tier is 28. A total of 90 skill points to max the entire tree.
Yellow skill tree has 10 skills for 10 points each.
There is 70 skills spread across the 4 trees at a grand total of 270 skill points needed to max out everything.
In short it is not possible to max out every single skill in the game. You have however with some careful planning and enough Places of Power visited acquire enough skill points and getting to level 70, it's possible to at least have enough points to max out 15 to 20 skills total of your choosing.
Since you can equip a max of 12 skills total upon reach 30. There should be a enough points to obtain to max out any 12 skills of your choice.
On top of using Potions of Clearance you have good degree of flexibility to tailor your Geralt.
But know that you won't ever come to making some ultimate maxed out Geralt without a mod that gives more skill points per level.
Plan your builds carefully folks, and have fun!

You pick up any of the armors out of order, but it will start officially by
Going to the Light House South West of Norvigard. Lorkun or some such. There will be a draw bridge up, and a place of power nearby. Go to the place of power and explore. You'll find a way in. Once you get in, there will be a ladder on your right. Go up it. Do not go up the stairs. Death awaits.
For anyone with the Lamp:
If the Place of Haunting in Frishlow (haven't found any others) bugged for you. Nothing happens.

Just got a "save game failed" prompt on PS4. Should I be scared?

For repairs, my go-to guy in Velen is in Blackbough. He's close to the signpost, sw corner of the little town. Sometimes he glitches and you have to meditate for an hour (at least on my PS4 copy), but he's easy to get to & easy to find.
For a journeyman for crafting weapons, yeah, that's a different story. That guy is in the southeastern quadrant of Oxenfurt's main island. Fast travel to the western gate signpost and head east, hope he shows up on your mini-map. Because I deeply empathise, I took a screenshot on the Oxenfurt guy

For weapons you got to Hotarri in Novigrad. For armor you go to the dwarf and woman duo in Crow's Perch. Both are master-craftsmen.
Been doing some contracts, and poison from the poisoned blades talent is kinda broken right now. I guess it deals a percentage of their health as damage, and ticks per second, which would be fine if the damage was capped against larger hp pools. It's not, though, so against a leshen it was ticking for like 1k a second. Just melted it down.

I had my doubts about this game (after the boring experience i had in TW2), but this game is awesome, the soundtrack (https://youtu.be/iXaVWR3CF5I), the gameplay, the side/main quest, the world seems and feels different (in the good way) and special. Good job CD Projekt Red
