Should've really bought this on PC. Load times are bearable, but having NPCs taking a while to load/appear in-game is ridiculous.

I think you're going to want a sword upgrade asap. I'd make that a priority. Any of the scavenger hunts should lead you to a better one.
For Jenny, I just used quen and yrden. Trap her in the yrden circle, get a few good hits in, dodge away. Repeat. Keep quen up as precaution
Nice. Going to give that a try.
Yeah, I tried that
but she regenerates all her health back when she summons her nightwraith friends 
I guess I'll go look for that sword first!

First mod I want is one that locks beard growth. The short trimmed look is my favorite but it grows back so fast...
I just quickfired the crossbow at all 3 copies of her and that stops her from regenning too quickly.Yeah, I tried thatbut she regenerates all her health back when she summons her nightwraith friends

Yasss Elihal, work it!
Thanks. Guess I should continue with the story instead of doing quests higher than my level and trying to unlock all the question marks even if I can't do some of them yet lol

I just checked the Gwent Trophy description and it says
Acquire all gwent cards available in the base version of the game. So we get more cards in the expansions?!?! I'm so stoked.

Goddayum, Jenny of the Woods is kicking my ass...
Not sure if anyone knows but I think the "Now or Never" quest is bugged for me. I finished the A Matter of Life and Death quest where
But now the next quest won't show up at all. Anything prerequisite that I missed and didn't fulfill?
Edit: Nevermind got it after finishing a couple more of the main quests.
i chose to kiss Triss and then she left on horseback.

The load time for Velen is a fair bit longer than the White Orchard one which is understandable I guess given the difference in map size and things to do.
It would be nice if they could get the time down with a patch but, if anything, it's helped me focus more closely on making sure I don't die in combat.
Loading times and some frame rate drops (one or two big ones and a handful of much more minor ones) are my only niggles so far.
However, so far for me this game is definitely ahead of Bloodborne as my favourite game for the PS4. And I really, really, really like Bloodborne.
It's a good looking game, it has brilliant sound design and music, good acting, is well written and engaging, has interesting things for the player to participate in and allows the player to shape the story in meaningful ways. It's extraordinarily feature rich.
The combat, which some have had difficulty with, feels fine to me. It took some time to click coming straight off Bloodborne despite superficial similarities.
But I'm so glad they didnt go for a super fast button mashing system leaving the game like some kind of hyperactive Sonic the Witcher.
It rewards tactical play and demands a clarity of approach to get the best out of it. Learning the best strategies for different enemies and the best uses of dodge and roll, of signs, potions, oils and differing attack methods have made the combat rich and challenging.
I think it's a fantastic work based on the time I've played so far.

Yo, so I went to listen to
during the Novigrad storyline while looking for
Priscilla aka Callonetta
Dandelion. And after the song was over, when I was clapping, I was yelled at for killing people in White Orchard. Yoooo what the hell?! I was trying to help out there ;_;
Using Yrden? Can't damage her much without it.
I am getting so wrapped up in doing side stuff that the main story itself is taking a backseat. So many quests that start off seemingly mundane soon spiral into their own interesting plots that pull you right in and take you away. I am blown away by how deep the rabbit hole goes with this game. It's just so well thought out and layered with incredible attention to detail.

finished the bog stuff. this game could be perfect territory if they work more on the combat next game.
same here. i don't know what to do next. i always get sidetracked so fast.

Yrden and bait her in. Took me 15 tries still lol. I suck at combat so much but its still so fun
Do you have the Moon Dust bomb? It block the
Nightwrait Special Ability (the ''splitting and healing'' thing)

Tried to get an haircut, christ all of them make Geralt look like a totally different person, it just feels so wrong whichever one you take. In the end just settled on getting a goatee.
I used to feel bad about how Geralt speaks to Roach. Then, after just mounting him, I was squaring up ready to take on a group of renegades when the damned horse slapped me in the back of the head with his tail - did decent damage!
Fuck that horse.
Edit: and being a good guy seems to backfire as often as it helps in this world. I could see myself sinking 200 hours into this game.

Once you have the mission, you can ditch them.

If you ever meet an old woman on the road at night whose story doesn't exactly make sense...make sure to give her a hand.
I think I got there at the 26/30h mark.
Well, I got the Skellige at the 50h mark so... Each his rythm.
I went with the shaved on the sides and tied into a ponytail look. With the beard grown out of course. Makes Geralt look pretty mean.

Level 28 and have a the full set of Superior Feline armor and weapons. Also equipped red mutagens so I have +48% Attack. I'm destroyed everything in my path. Just a one man wrecking crew.
Gonna level up to 31 so I can get the master feline armor. Gonna take me another 4 hours to find everything.

The tree saves the orphans. Crones punish Anna because the orphans were gone and they couldn't eat them. They turn her into a water hag. Geralt tries to lift the curse with the help of johnny (and suggest him to leave the swamp as crones are hunting him for trying to help anna). Geralt lifts the curse, but its a trick and only works for a bit of a time. Crones made sure that if the curse is lifted then anna must die.
Anna says final words to tamara and dies. Baron hangs himself at the crow's perch. But the tree keeps its promise and saves the orphans and leave them at the school in oxenfurt or novigrad. There is a note for new admissions of students and it lists all their names.

Around what you start the game at.

i'm not faster.
Crookback monster designs were freaking lovely. The little scenes with Johnny too were really well done.
And this is shaping up to be a contender for OST of the year. The pieces often fit the scenes nicely.
Really wish I could have (ladie of wood/whisper oak spoilers0

killed those witches though. I made the wrong choice and the kids got ate up.
Wrong implication.
Are you having trouble with the 3 wraiths that spawn and steal your life? Thought you had to kill them quickly, but you can simply run away and they will disappear, then Yrden and silver bombs.

Yeah, I love the default short trimmed full beard, but it always grow over time.
I hope there's a mod to stop the growing beard.
I haven't even stepped into the area below Novigrad. Oxenfurt is my main town so far.
Been playing since day 1 and I'm at level 10 right now.
I haven't been following this thread at all.. Blindly picked up this game on Thursday. I came in here just to post how much fun I'm having with it. I went in with no expectations and am just blown away. Combat could be a bit better, but it works well enough. Everything else is just amazing

I'm enjoying my time.
I'm not focusing on Alchemy as much as I did in previous titles. I'm doing well by casting
.
About to complete Act 1
the shield
Some of the lengthy story missions pay off in the end, but sometimes it's like a goose chase getting there.
