Think I need to hit bed lol. Upgraded the Griffin armour and weapons to enhanced, created the Feline armor and weapons now I've just got Ursine armor. I shall hunt for the swords tomorrow but it will be awhile before I can build them. Spent all my gold and now have 112 left lol.
So I leave you with some Witcher beauties.

Armor ratings are mostly the same. It's the resistances and other bonuses (including the armor talents in the General tree) that sets them apart.
And looks, of course.

Yup! Love it! Yrden for bears and wolves, Axii for humans, Igni for general purpose use. Haven't come across any airborne enemies (apart from 1), but Aard should be good for them. And finally Quen, which is my most used spell.
Well, I left Wild Orchard at 23 hours, so you're doing fine.
No Triss? Epic fail.
You can prevent this but the outcome is also dark
People are nicer too, randoms don't spit in my general direction when I walk past them..
Did you kill the tree? If so yeah. I did the same it was better then the other choice imo.
That shit gets boring after a while in Velen.
Igni is super good against bears too.
But ,yeah, this game has the best signs implementation across the witcher games by far.
EDIT : I am curious,are you playing with "?" and quest direction enabled or disabled on the map ?

I know you can continue playing once you finish the main quest but is there a point in the main quest where a bunch of secondary stuff auto-fails?

I need to stop worrying so much about outcomes, and just let the game play out based on whatever I feel is right. Right now I want yo know what happens every time lol. Not as organic that way.

I just want to slaughter the whole village when that happens...

So will there be a witcher 4?
CDPR has said for a while that they're probably going to continue the series but this is the last one with Geralt.
The best ones are the villages that you liberated from monsters literally a minute ago, and immediately they drop their hateful comments...

Some screenshots I took on the ps4
The mask makes certain armor sets look look more badass. You can wear it anytime.

Yeah, I used some Igni the first time I fought a bear. I am much more efficient at taking them out now though.
And I am playing "?" off. Once I explore the whole area and think I've explored enough, I'll turn them on to see what I've missed. How about you?

I can't find some good armor to save my damn life.
Regen from potions/food, right?
Is that why my gauntlet has 5% power increase, or is that another reason?
(I imagine Light trousers(?) always have the 1% stam regen in combat)
I have that issue myself. During a later quest I paused and had to google to make sure the other outcome wasn't more to my liking. It kind of kills the mood.
The baron quest though was pretty good. I tried to fix my "mistake" and get a more "favorable" outcome but I wasn't going to replay 2 hours of game for it.
Poor Baron. I started to like you but I made you die.

I would bet yes, after the success of W3.
But I don't know how they could possibly do a worthy sequel, I feel this is too perfect as an experience that it's almost impossible to beat even by CDPR themselves. One can only hope.
I have a feeling this one will be too successful not to do another.
Do you think Ciri is a strong enough character to pull it off?
Nice.
I just got to Velen. I am thinking about turning all these markers and quest trackers off and see what I can do.
So did you do all the quests without tracking them too ?
Food/ potion or the skill you can unlock.
By the time they finish Cyberpunk, enough time will have passed for them to return to the franchise. That's potentially a 6-7 year wait if we're being optimistic.
A couple of the possible endings leave it open.

Yeah, I think you'll enjoy the exploration more if you turn off the "?". What level did you leave Wild Orchard at? Did you do everything there? I started Velen last night.
Some of the quests I completed I wasn't even trying to complete lol. Just exploring. But I did track a few. I like to at least have the Main Quest tracked so I know where not to go XD
Nope.
She's a decent character as is, but may require a slight shift in writing for her to play lead.
Thanks!

My collector's edition arrived today! Warner Brothers decided that Canada would not receive any CEs, thus I had to get one off of Ebay and, to reduce the cost, went with an Xbox One version since PC ones were both rarer and more expensive. Here's a few pics I took.
The box is HUGE and the outer cover comes off to reveal a black box with just the wolf head on it if you don't want the branding, content summary, and any words showing:
Edit: Okay, those pictures are huge. Going to make them smaller.

Art book is about 1.5 cm thick and amazing with such rich illustrations! Going to save it for when I finish the game due to spoilers which they warn you about on the first page:
Witcher medallion is made of metal and weighs 91 g, thus feels decently solid:
Gwent decks feel premium and bring the virtual masterpiece to reality!:
Statue looks great and is a decent size and pretty weighty. Geralt's face lacks some fine detail as others have posted but only doesn't look great when you've got it like an inch from your face. From a regular viewing distance, you can't even notice. The sword and tail are removable which helps prevent it from breaking off during transport:
Here's a closer shot of Geralt for those interested:
More pictures of the CE are in the following album: https://www.flickr.com/gp/130992642@N03/2r35Rq

Hey guys. Just curios if anyone knows where I can buy a lvl 14 crossbow. I found a couple way early when I was like lvl 6 or so, so I sold em but can't remember to whom for the life of me. Trying to find a merchant with one or the person I sold it to for last couple hours lol. Should have kept the damn thing but I was overburdened.
I did all my white orchard stuff with tracking and "?" enabled .Then I got to velen and ran into the first basic quest where you get oil to burn stuff.Only found one of that stuff to burn so far ,but I suppose if I turn tracking on,the game will tell me where the rest of them are.
So I am really just starting to play the game without these things.I believe I am level 3 or 4 last I checked.

Yrden to make her corporeal and have her take full damage (same with all nightwraiths). And... the sword is made of silver, of course it'll dull faster.
I'll miss the polish Solid Snake.
Same.
This is why I hate collector's editions and wish there was a slimmer alternative.
I'd love to have that medallion and Gwent deck. Don't need the statue or art book, and the former always drives up these editions way out of my price range.

Yeah, you should have barely hit level 4 after completing Wild Orchard. Tracking is fine, as you can focus on one quest without getting distracted. "?" should definitely be off tho imo.
Are you playing on PC, or consoles? And what build are you planning to go with? Sword, Magic, Alchemy, Hybrid?
Agreed on wanting the medallion and Gwent deck, and I wouldn't mind the Artbook either (I have the digital version on GOG tho). The figurines don't do anything for me, and they unnecessarily raise the prices. They should have done another Limited Edition without the figurine.

I can't take people who have the Kutcher or the punk Geralt look seriously ^^ it just doesn't fit at all
also the islands look so damn beautiful, much better than velen imo and that one already looks great
This game is very good at getting me to dump 7 nonstop hours into it. What they've achieved here is pretty crazy, even the small ! sidequests that are over pretty quickly trounce a lot of the standard "go here and kill 5 wolf" sidequests so many other games have.
