Really is worth it, and haven't had any difficulty in tackling monsters or quests 8 levels or so higher then me. Just gotta make good use of potions/oils and good use of quen.

This is amazingly spot-on.
More into detail please?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I can't see CDPR banning people from their game because of a single player exploit, especially not with a tongue-in-cheek response like that. I could see them patching in a goofy punishment for using the exploit
At least in my playthrough, she turns human and then immediately dies. I freed the tree spirit.
Weird. Been playing for exactly 20 hours as well, rains quite a bit. Has only actually stormed like 2 or 3 times though.
Holy fuck I'm loving this game though. Just got to Novigrad(sp?). I'm overwhelmed with things to do in the best way possible.
I don't regret buying a 980 for this game at all. Game of the generation, so far.
Quick question about the end of the Baron's storyline:
He brought his wife to that guy in the mountains and never gave me money for helping him. Am I getting that money?
I free'd the spirit also, which in turn saved the children. Chose the wrong doll though. I saw your edit before, you said something along the lines "she turns into human then it's out of your control" what did you mean by that? Or did you meant by her dieing after turning back?

best sorceress
why would you do that?
I've only played a couple of hours (about to tackle the griffin now) but I absolutely LOVE the game. The writing and the characters are amazing. I'm actively going from person to person in the bar and just enjoying the interaction.
The combat is a bit tricky, it seems like a Dark Souls lite, with the lock on system, but its lacking the accuracy a little bit.
I'm not really getting Gwent after one game. In the first round my opponent and I used up all our cards and the next two rounds we only played one card each. Cards look stunning though.
Also its just about the best looking game artistically and technically I've played.

Good, because you did! You should be looting the monster dens after you blow them up. They only contain monster parts and some other materials so dont worry about missing out on good stuff. Also caves should gray out after you have looted all the items in them.
Oh wow............I fucked up lol.
Wait wait....blow them up? I didn't see anything about that! Also there is no more loot in the cave I checked!

Whats the best controls to use for keyboard? the default doesnt have the power attack mapped to anything

He thought you meant the nests. You do mean the dens, right? Not the nests? Regardless, I'm pretty sure at least *some* dens do gray out. The nekker den near where you start in Velen, for example.
They have it mapped to shift+LMB. I've taken to putting it on RMB though, with E for parry and some other stuff juggled around.
default is shift+left mouse I think
... I just mapped everything back to the way it was in witcher 2 :lol

Just keep playing.
You'll find out the consequence of that choice.The Bloody Baron conversation will help you find out which doll to choose. The results of your actions are really heavy hitters here.
Amazing quest

Ops, sorry. Yes i meant monster nests not dens. But monster dens should be grayed out after you loot all the items. I am sure of that as i have a couple grayed out.
Hm....wonder what I missed....what about just the caves?

Okay the game has finally clicked after a lot of perseverance.
The swallow potion is an absolute must for the early stages, and things like thunderbolt and oils are essential in battles.
Have been doing the side quests, bandit camps and random encounters and have really enjoyed it. Actually feel pretty confident taking on enemies who are a few levels higher, almost beat a level 15 (I'm 7).

I see all the caves are still white on my game. I mistook a couple of monster dens as caves. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Is there a way to disable the red names of enemies appearing over them on pc? Trying to take some screens and it's a bit of a challenge working around that.

Have you found any underwater missions? like exploring underwater caves or ruins,not just finding items...
If you choose to save the

Am I missing something with the second form of quen? Still only takes one hit and makes you incredibly slow and you can't attack while using it. Even upgraded it to the third level where it doesn't drain stamina.
Monster dens do go grey though eh? Guess I better go back lol.

How cool would it be if the game had snowboarding? FF VII style!
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Really wish you specified which part of the baron quest that spoiler was =/.
Thank you! I don't why they can't just display all the vendors and merchants when you first walk into a city. They're so huge that even after running around everywhere you might miss something.

Probably
freed the spirit in the tree roots and I think the crones kill the baron's wife in that case. Personally I killed the spirit (why unleash another unknown, powerful evil in the world?) and the baron went off with his wife seeking help from a medicine man somewhere in hope of restoring her sanity.
I love it how many of these quests you have to choose the lesser evil, and there is always a trade-off, and no real happy endings. It's refreshing.
I beat the Griffin and sidequests, finally visited the Emperor, now I'm stuck in his castle and can't get out... guess I must've been too tired last night to get out.
Fell asleep playing Gwent (while reading the tutorial) with the guy in the courtyard. I'm going to have to watch this tutorial in order to figure it out:

Is there a good online guide to help with this game? A few things are overwhelming (like where to find the right herb or ingredient for alchemy, suggestions as to what weapon is best to get at what part of the game, what skills should be acquired, and so on).

Found some caves before, ruins not yet still exploring skellige only touched like 2 clusters of islands so far.
Well I already finished the quest. Unless
the tree spirit(demon mare) and the witches play a bigger role later on.

The same thing happened for me. Can't believe that one thing can change that storyline that much. Holy fuck.

Potions recharge with a single alcohol automatically upon meditation.
Oils never need to as they are always good to go. You only get 20 hits when applied until upgraded. So it's good to slap one on pre fight.
But yes once you create a recipe you don't need to again.

What makes these go grey? I scoured one and it's still white.
