This always sounded like hyperbole when i was reading this prior to playing myself. But, well, i stopped playing GTA V for this. I couldn't get in the first two games, but this...damn. Its good.

I hate how there is now way to change brightness ingame.

You can change gamma which is just about the same general purpose as games that do brightness

I knew i had Seen the Option before, but it seems to be gone from my options now?
Sorry Yen
Haven't even met Triss yet but I already know she's my choice <3
I don't know who this stranger Yen is that Geralt pretends to know, but I do know Triss was sweet and awesome in 2.
Or meditiate for an hour

War is hell. So whoever willingly started war is evil.

You don't actually have to equip a potion to use it, just press Square (or equivalent) on the inventory screen.
Welp...30 hours in and never noticed that somehow. Thanks lol.
I do think this game could benefit from a Skyrim style quick access favourites menu though. For equipping different potions/bombs into your main slots at least. I've got so many notes and books in my inventory now and the PS4 loads menus a bit slow.

I'd been looking for these as well. I found the diagram for them in Novigrad at a blacksmiths.

Very tempted to do the same, as I'm absolutely loving this game (I really liked the first two as well, but this is something else).
To those in the know, are these editions decent?
Seem to be the cheapest and most common ones.
Yeah, something like that would be nice. Or more separate tabs. Or storage at inns. Etc. Inventory is a mess.
My only problem with this game is that I sometimes come across markers that have very powerful enemies guarding them, which is fine, but as far as I can tell there is no distinction between markers that you have completed and ones you didn't (such as looting the treasure). That creates a bit of a problem for me because I'm not likely to remember which ones I need to come back to. Is there a way to tell that I am missing?
Huh that's interesting. I just did that quest but
the laboratory under Novigrad
Anyway as I haven't posted in the OT before I have to say... this game is fucking incredible. I'm around 50-60 hours in and I can't believe it met my crazy high expectations. Everything from the main quests to small random encounters are all fleshed out and it's amazing that they managed to put all this stuff. The fact that the game has Novigrad and Velen with all their interiors and massive underground passages, caverns in one seemless world is amazing to me. I'm also having a lot of fun with combat after disliking it a lot in Witcher 2.
This is without competition the best game of this gen yet for me.

Discovered markers are white, completed ones (i.e. you've looted the treasure or whatever) are greyed out. Doesn't seem to apply to things like cave entrances though (they stay white no matter what I do), so keeping track of which of those you've cleared out is a bit more difficult.
When you clear a marker / loot it then it becomes a dull grey colour. Unexplored places are solid white.
You can easily find the fan translations, which are excellent as long as you don't mind reading on a phone/tablet/kindle/whatever.
Spoilers if you haven't finished Questlines with Triss:
I think i fucked up with Triss.
Also after the quest with Triss
I think i fucked up with Triss.
Should have told her I loved her so she would stay...Dam I really started to like her more then Yen, Yen seems like a bitch history be dammed should have asked Triss to stay!
Not only that but since she left I needed 2 quests to complete with her help and now I have the quests forever unable to complete...fuuuuuuck

your asked to the Whore house to discuss murdering the king and your sent to find that guy in the troll cave..does the quest keep going? Seems like a brick wall to suddenly say we're going to kill the king then no more quests to follow it up?

My biggest problem with the game is how the put candles or torches next to or on top of lootable objects or even key objects for quests. I always spend a min or two trying to align the camera just right to get the loot or use icon to appear instead of ignite or extinguish. So frustrating.

do we know how the alt. for yennefer gonna work?once you install it can you change her back to default?
I'm super happy I got the last one as well, but I wasn't too surprised when I found out it was the "best" ending, since all it required was for Geralt to
treat Ciri as an adult daughter, respect and support her decisions and treat her like a human being instead of some soulless power source, a tool for saving the world. I absolutely loved the way the relationship between Geralt and Ciri was portrayed, but I guess it was partly because of the choices I made.
On a side note, people mention giving Ciri the necklace of Lara Dorren. What's up with that? I never stumbled upon it, and I had a snowball fight with Ciri, went with her to kill Imlerith, went to bury Skjall and trashed Avallac'h's laboratory with her. I also went with her on the Lodge meeting, and that was the only 'flaw' in the way I treated her, I guess.

Now I don't know if I want to finish all those twenty or thirty side quests or start again with a different build and make different decisions. I outlevel almost everything at this point, I'm level 34 or so after finishing the main story, most of the witcher contracts and 3 or 4 side quests on the B&BB difficulty.

Moon bombs. Use one, makes it so she can transform. Her dmg sucks when in physical form and you can just wail on her with little care.

This game is on track to become my GOAT. Beatiful and fairly realistic medieval world coupled with great writing for characters and quests. Detective mode is freaking great and well implemented as well. I can't stop playing<3! Once you get used to the combat it's fine to. A hell of a lot better than Skyrim anyway.

I love the covers that we have over here.

I know that feel bro. It's designed with Mouse + Keyboard controls first and a gamepad later.
Eww, dutch translations. I'd at least go with english.
So unless me and many others are missing something... are Wraiths and their special quest versions simply way too strong compared to their level?
It's like, whenever I fight a wraith, it feels like a monster 5-10 levels above what it (or the quest) is displayed as. They always hit hard, they always are highly annoying to fight, and no fight in the game was harder than the onslaught of wraiths during the Baron's escort quest.

I never got the option about the necklace either. Only thing I did to get Ciri to become a witcher was to make her go alone to talk to Lodge, refuse the coin from Emhyr and go with her to Skjalls grave. Was stupid enough to not play snowball though and not let hear tear up the labratory.
As long as the wraiths are in the little circle from your Yrden trap they drop really quickly.

Well, the translation isn't too bad actually. Despite the fact that the transition from Last Wish and Sword of Destiny used two different names for Dandelion and that's quite confusing at first.
I liked the covers, so I rolled with it haha.
Ahhh good ok just thought it left like that would have been pissed, good to know.
Other than Red Dead Redemption, I think this is the only open world game that has me engrossed both by the gameplay AND the story. It's really something special, like RDR is.
It really depends on your choices. I saved a nilfgaardian soldier from a lynch mob and there are other instances where you can side with Nilfgaard somewhat. It's just that he's seeing all the awful things happening in the north and Nilfgaard started the war, so it's natural do sympathise with the invaded people, even if a lot of them are scumbags as well.

Are the English translations generally considered good? And are there different ones, or just the one in a few different editions?
But the circle is tiny. Often they just phase out and then phase in next to me. And that's when you even have time to drop Yrden since Quen is vital and you lose stamina rolling away since just dodging usually still lets them hit you.
