No, those are still there. Don't think there's any way to have something enabled on the full map but disabled on the minimap, unfortunately. The option for POIs says that's it's for the minimap, but turning them off turns them off for the full map as well.

I have no problems with the question marks since they appear either on sight or through mission requests and other lore stuff. sure I might read all of that and figure out myself where everything is.. but given the sheer number of POI, really don't feel like doing it.. and stumbling by accident on something you should already knew was there subtract importance from documents and books

You could store items with innkeepers in TW2, so why not here. In this particular matter I really don't care whether it makes total sense, it's just a drag not to have anywhere to store all the books and crap you don't want clogging up your inventory but also don't want to throw away. (Although I just read that this wasn't originally in TW2, but was patched in later, so hopefully they'll do the same here).
Not really true. By just checking a notice board the surrounding area gets plastered with question marks, only a few of which have anything to do with anything written in any of the notices.
I would think using Reshade could accomplish the same thing while being much more convenient.

Ah ok, it's my first Witcher game so I had no idea. I would kinda welcome that too. I'm at lv10 and have a body armor that's nice af but locked for lv 16. I'm always tempted to sell it, since it will take up real estate in my (small) inventory for a long time.

A Wraith is just a ghostly type creature right? Didn't get how why the Wild Hunt were described as Wraiths aswell as Elfs
I would've preferred something inbetween these two options; like ?'s popping from a further distance away, or maybe some indication that the area you're in still has undiscovered PoIs. As is, I turned it off initially but then I knew I would've just worried all the time about missing something and had to turn it back on.

Yeah, turns out I've had it turned off since the day I got the game. It's how I preferred playing Skyrim, too, just have the compass off.
Shame I can't turn off those quest arrows, though. If the game were a bit more clear about its objectives I might just disable all active quests, but unfortunately that's not the case.

It's explained in the ending of the witcher 2
thry are seen as ghost by the folks, but in reality they are trans-dimensional elves... if I remember some of them are just projection of the real elf while some aren't
well. might be wrong, I'm no expert of witcher lore and going by memory
anyone?

About halfway
Speaking of POIs question marks, if they are turned on do I see them all on the map or are there ones that still need to be triggered to appear? I have just done all of them that showed up randomly in White Orchid, so I take it I don't need to explore the more open areas to get more?

Are the Viper School Witcher swords upgradeable? I'm thinking about dismantling them now that I've found way better gear, but I just know that the moment after I do it I'll stumble across the diagrams for Enhanced Viper School swords 
Just found the full set of Cat School gear, anyway, so I suppose it doesn't matter that much. Now I just need another four levels before I can get out of this ridiculous Bounty Hunter's Gambeson and into some proper Witcher clothes.

Meant to say for consoles. Just doing a few adjustments I've made the game look so much better.

absolutely breathtaking. The landscape, music, weather all amazing. Haven't been wowed by a game in a good minute but The Witcher 3 has done just that for me.

You don't se all of them, that much I'm sure.. how they appear though I'm not, I was positive that they all appear through mission requests and lore stuff, but another user said they don't.. but I'm still finding new stuff not signals with the question mark

I'm not just doing them, I'm focusing on side questing and hitting every marker (and the areas inbetween, since there are tons of spots that have loot or little events but don't get a question mark). Main quest be damned, I only do it when I feel I have to. Like if I'm level 10 I might as well go do this level 7 main quest bit.
I'm not talking about a storage chest, I'm talking about what I said in the post...
I know it doesn't make sense but neither does dropping the hunt for your surrogate daughter to get down with some collectable card gaming.
Haha, dat Pulp Fiction reference in the Bloody Baron's Keep....
There's another one in Novigrad
I believe I'm am going to take part int killing radovid with Dijkstra . He is a straight up cockon a side not have
I like being able to attack quest way out of my league as far as levels and gear goes even if it takes multiple tries makes me think of other strategies other than over powering the enemies by hit and evade tactics or keeping them in groups of allies to wither their health down.

About 20 hours in I decided to focus purely on the Main Quest. It took me an additional 28 hours to finish it.
At the end of the story I had 144 ? locations on the map to visit, 34 Side Quests active and tons of notice boards that I didn't even use.
This game is amazing, certainly one of the best games ever made.
I've started a new save on the hardest difficulty and I'll take my time and do everything this time.

When i saw that on his head i knew officially he was gonna be an asshole and that i would kill him if given the opportunity.
Ive already wiped it from my HDD. Its a piece of shit that was only played because there was nothing else .
Witcher 3 will more than satisfy that need for a long while.

Some small degree of prior familiarity with the context of the events. The game will do a fine job of situating you in the world and story, though.

Where is the bank in Novigrad? I have so many Florens...
Also what are people doing with their books and letters? I don't want to get rid of them, but it's annoying to scroll through ten rows of books to change my bombs.
And is it just me, or is Jenny O' the Woods and The White Lady the exact same quest? It's like two different developers made their own quest, it turned out to be extremely similar, and they just thought "eh, let's just put them both in."

Yes of course, you'll lose the chance to build up the backstory and develop your first hand experience of the world over time.
There are lots of little references to the first two games, and some of the characters won't mean as much to you without experiencing their previous adventures, but the game does a very good job of introducing the world to new players and pulling them into the history of the place.
I wouldn't worry if you can't play the first two, but I would recommend you do.

I love how player choices are represented in the game. They don't seem to give any indication of the ramifications of your choice, so I am having to decide purely on what feels right with me, opposed to just selecting options based on what missions they open up.
I didn't bow to the emperor, fuck that guy.
