Automatic Finishers,what does the option do exactly? If I turn it off, I assume I have to do my own finishers correct? Are they hard to pull off?
Thanks.
Thanks.
I don't think a console game has ever let us disable chromatic aberration before. I'm pretty sure you're out of luck in that department.
Once you're done with the White Orchard.

All of them are higher level since I was only level 1. I just killed a minor spoiler

Nice, I guess there's no prompt on the screen for it, unlike quest XP. Well thanks for telling me
It must be slow enough tyat I never noticed my xp creeping up.
I thought I tried the game without Fraps running and the Steam overlay STILL didn't work.
Disabling the Steam overlay for Witcher 3 and running Fraps works fine together though, and allows shift-clicking properly for strong attacks.
I wish, but I don't know of a way.
Haven't found a way on PC at least. Several people have mentioned the small font sizes.

Finished the prologue in one sitting god damn. The griffin fight was hard as shit on death march. I was down to my last apple juice (this sounds funnier than it should) when I finished it off.
Does anyone know what determines whether or not you can block a bit. Everything seems to blow through and put me in a stun animation. Might have to invest in the sign tree so I can keep quen up.
After you deal with the griffin

I occasionally see a button prompt for them, but for the most part they just happen in the flow of combat. The only real difference is the last kill in a fight won't automatically be an execution with a zoom in slow mo.
Yeah, once you craft something the first time they auto restore whenever you meditate using alcohol from your inventory as the only ingredient.

How does it function. Does it invest in the back story for new comers then too?
Bombs and potions auto restores when you meditate. One of the first things you should do is to make the potion Swallow. Once you have it you will have 3 Vitality Regeneration potions every time you meditate.
Been playing almost non stop since the Steam unlock... Now I must face the fact that I don't really like it.
The combat is bad. It's not complete garbage, but it's not decent either. Geralt is unwieldy and janky and the magic sucks just as much as it ever did in TW2. I quickly put the difficulty on easy because I have no patience pretending to have fun on that shite. A very stark contrast after Bloodborne.
I can't stand the padding with stupid errants everywhere, and even during the main quest the patently obvious filler gets insulting. Even wrapped around a decent voice acting, it's hard to give a flying fuck about the obvious quest-giver NPCs that you'll never see again afterward.
The world is big and beautiful yes, and yet I'm not exploring it at all on my own agency. Playing efficiently means I'm following the GPS and not really thinking about anything that I see on screen. This open world game design trope needs to die an horrible death.

just started the game played for about 5 hours still havent killed the griffin but completed some side quests.
I have a few questions if I may so:
a) So far i havent gotten the chance to make choices for the previous 2 games (PS4 version). Before I started the game there was an option about witcher 2 but I didnt pay much attention. Did I screw up somehow?
b) Is it me or do I find the way potions work really poor? So if I want to use the swallow potion i have to go to my inventory, choose a slot to put it and then go back to the game and use it via dpad?? That doesnt sound very convenient. Especially if you want to use 2-3 potions. Why cant I use stuff directly from my inventory? I am pretty certain that there has to be some other way.

You're asked questions about how key events occurred in tw2 and you answer them. Doesn't go into detail for newcomers.
amazing, thanks guys. that's great news. I'm assuming Oils are the stuff that doesn't auto regen then.
This comforts me because now i will actually use potions! aha, instead of saving them forever "just in case"

Played from 5AM to 10AM. So good.
People with crashes, if you use GOG Galaxy, try verifying the game files. Not sure if it does help me or just luck. But no harm in trying.

Never played any of the witcher games, but I do want to pick what happened in the previous games. Do I select simulate events on or off?
I only spent one hour with it as it unlocked late and I had work in the morning. Truth be told if it wasn't for the Gwent crash, o would've probably not went to work haha.

Thanks. Quick question. Has anyone bought any new armour in white orchard? I bought some blue and black armour and it looks garbage lol want to return to a previous save.
I posted the same in the downgrade thread and the response I got was "Are we supposed to be impressed? I'm confused."
lol
Yeah, don't rely on buying armor. You usually find equally good or better armor doing quests or by crafting. Same with swords. I actually spend most of my money on repairing.

small cliffs are the deadliest enemies in the game. I have died so many times to fall damage

What the..
Are you saying if I make bombs and potions when I meditate they restore themselves? So there's no point in ever making more than one bomb or potion type?

Is currently staging a hunger strike outside Gearbox HQ while trying to hate them to death
This has probably been asked before, but for those that liked Inquisition, how does this game compare? Again, this is a question for those that liked Inquisition.
I loved DA:I but couldn't get into The Witcher 2 at all so I'm not 100% if I should get this.

So after sinking 4hrs into it tonight and doing a few of the first quests (on hardest difficulty) here's my initial thoughts on PS4
-The world and graphics so far look amazing, the weather changes and time of day look fantastic. The world feels and looks alive, it's not static feeling and after beating DA:I I think this is a huge improvement.
- VS DA:I crafting and inventory is miles better and no where near as frustrating.
-Quests so far feel varied and have a purpose and give satisfying results upon completion.
-Combat for me so far is the weakest link, but I know it's because A: I have never played a witcher game before and B: I just finished getting a platinum in Bloodborne so combat is going to take some getting used to lol
So far very impressed and engulfed in the gameplay, I thought I'd be burned out after finishing up DA:I but it really feels like a much better game overall in my opinion so far.

Seriously, CDPR need to patch the fall damage
I fell like a few feet from a wooden stand to the ground and lost like 25% health
Btw, how do you access the free DLC?
Once you've made a specific potion or bomb with alchemy you will restore them every time you meditate, yes
You can make many different kinds of potions and bombs though.toastyToast

Yup.
You can use the swallow potion too. After the first time all you need is alcohol to brew more. It auto refreshes when you meditate

Is the game fully installed?
And the swallow potion, bit i was able to craft that only after white orchard, thus failing a side quest.
anyone?

But doesnt this at least reduce the ingredients for the specific bomb/potion? If your bomb get restored as soon as you meditate is kind of sucks, as I dont wamt to have unlimited supplies of bombs
So far My only complaint are the small font, i decided to stick with disc xbox version, but i might go digital on ps4.

It seems that way, I've been farming animals.
Yeah I allready played five hours yesterday, it's really strange
This shit made me drop the difficulty to Normal
Too much of a pain in the ass to manage health with just food and stuff
Ennemies hit harder and are more agressive. You gain less stats each level. Meditate does not regen your health. Nothing change about map icon and navigation.
Just get the Sun and Stars skill.
