Isn't it? The material on the cover of that small book is awesome. I've only used it for checking some Gwent stuff, so I don't miss any cards. Don't really need it for other things as I like to be thorough anyway when exploring.
Indeed! The small book is nice in hands. I also bought all the Books that are currently in english (so... five). I wanted to do that since Witcher 2 but never got around to do it.

Nice. I am not much of a book reader, so don't think I'll bother. But I did read an interesting story in-game from a book called "The Last Wish"

Nice! But wait for the alternate Triss. I'm sure there is one too, I think someone talked about that in the files it's already prepared for that.
that is refreshing

oh god, are they really going to make me choose? Don't know if I can

Probably 60 hours in and just got griffin set 2. Looks boss.
Still waiting for the other gwent decks to not suck--still not enough cards available.
Geralt's morality doesn't make complete sense to me. The point is to make it seem like every situation is morally true to the character, but there are some clear white and black options and options that seem to be a complete overreaction, or options that bypass clear logic. They don't crop in too often, and I can't think of anything specific, but I get the impression that geralt is probably socially inept in some of the non-player controlled instances. Just general impressions.
Really enjoying the ciri combat.
Nothing as emotionally satisfying as the baron quest line yet. Cleaning up a few remaining quests in novigrad. Feeling a little bit of padding fatigue. It gets a little old having to do favors for everyone, hoofing it back and forth to the same old places, before you can complete a favor. However, the characters responding to your past choices makes it mostly worth it. Some of it just feels like busywork slightly.
Game isn't quite living up to the hype for me, even though I'm absolutely loving it. I've never played an rpg that I haven't skipped through a considerable amount of dialogue for. It holds my attention very well. Dialogue is usually very clever, but over the course of a 60 hour marathon, archetypes Pop up a bit too often.
Getting a reasonably solid 30fps on a 3770k and 660ti on 1.01 and gta iv drivers: everything is on ultra except for shadows and foliage visibility, which are set to high. Hair works is off of course.

I'm level 23 and I'm running out of quests...
Is this right? I have all the gear, doing pretty much all the quest except Gwent (not playing Gwent because I'll do it on my next playthrough for my Plat).
The main quest, I've done the Skellige part. I'm now doing level 24+ quests, but there aren't many left. Also, half of the notable areas are finished. Do I have to grind? lol

Is this next weeks DLC? Because I know this week is a quest.
Well yeah @ 4K it's going to look better
Yeah my main reason was 60fps and MODs, but I was impatient so i bought the PS4 version first and played that a bit.
Now I am actually thinking of starting over again to play on Bloodmarch difficulty. Currently playing on Blood & Broken Bones.

I really, really want to love this game, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult as well. Everything that doesn't involve actual gameplay is flawless, but everything that involves actual gameplay is absolutely woeful. The story and dialog is miles ahead of Inquisition, but at least that game had enjoyable (if somewhat mindless) combat. And it doesn't help that I've spent the last two months playing Bloodborne nonstop, which has cast Witcher's combat and movement mechanics in a really harsh light.
I'm considering just dropping down to easy in the hopes that that'll make things less tedious.

I wish you could fish in this game for food, hours would be wasted. They already give you a boat now patch in a fishing pole!

Oh yeah, I was definitely regretting my decision a little when that happened.

I felt the same way about the combat at first. But it eventually just clicked and now I actually find it quite fun and I can't wait to get into my next battle.
It still doesn't hold a candle to Bloodbornes combat but I find it much better than DAI.

lol, i just finished the quest and knew exactly what was behind the spoiler
yup, some of these quest are simple. i'm still having fun though. just wish the combat was better.God if one of the DLC's ended up being a big fishing side quest/mini game ala Zelda (I absolutely loved Twilight Princess' fishing side stuff) it would truly be the game of the forever.
Yeah her reaction was pretty rough but true to the character. A lot of people I expect will probably stick with Triss due to the past 2 games and because you encounter her first if you don't head to Skellige underleveled. The Last Wish quest was awesome for that reason and they make it as hard as possible to choose.
Honestly, that's pretty much the only quest I've played where I literally rolled my eyes and just thought "... Really?"

I'm hoping that'll happen to me as well, which is why I haven't dropped it to easy yet. I think part of the problem is that it's just close enough to Souls-style combat that it's easy to make comparisons, and Souls wins every time. I know in my heart that DAI's combat wasn't all that good, but at least it was different enough that I never thought to compare it to Souls.
Yup, at first I felt like this too. But now, wow much better then Inquisition, thanked mostly because of the dodge mechanic. If it just had the roll but no dodge, then yeah that would impact the combat a lot
The dodge mechanic is a combat changer!
I think the key is to play it like a Bloodborne game instead of a button masher. Use Dodge!

Is there ability respec in the game? I have no idea what I'm doing in regards to a build. :/

There is, but I've heard that it makes you permanently lose all the points you've gained from Places of Power.

Respec potions are sold for 1000 crowns. There is a guy in Novigrad selling them and Keira also sells them.

It doesn't.
Some merchants (especially Herbalist and Alchemist) have a Potion that cost 1000 Crowns that reset all your skill points, including the places of power.

Thanks gents. I've asked before with no response, but I could use some advice on the best skills to go with for a Fast Attack/Quen focused build.
So far I'm looking at:
Muscle Memory
Precise Blows
Focus
Adrenaline Burst
Poisoned Blades
Cat School Techniques
Quen path
I.. enjoyed this quest? It was pretty funny.
I enjoyed this as well I recall there was a similar quest in Inquisition, yet I found this more enjoyable lol
Thought the same, then I went through the whole Bloody Baron quest line and found it really well done. Same with Towerful of Mice later on.
To be fair, the goat thing was the worst quest I've done so far. But it lasted all of 5 minutes? Also, when most people, CDPR included, mention fetch quests, they usually mean "go kill 3 drowners" or "Go pick 15 elderberries!". While you do need to gather stuff for crafting, all of the quests have been at least somewhat interesting and with some context.
Yeah, I chose Triss mostly because I played The Witcher 2 prior to this and you spend more time with her earlier on. She also didn't seem like the stereotypical choice for Geralt and his story, which I thought made things a bit more interesting.
I will say though, Yennefer's ambient dialogue with Geralt during those Skellige missions made me feel like an awful person for my decision.

As I keep playing I keep thinking about how Poland's labour cost can't be that much less than the US. So the game is only as good as it is because of the talent of CDPR
literally the funnest thing I've played this year so far.

Yup. I have actually turned the mini map off. It has made exploration even more enjoyable. Just stumbling in to areas, villages, quests etc, rather then knowing what to expect sort of thing
