I would say yes just by the fact that in blood and bones you can't regen health by meditating. Have to use items

First time playing the Witcher series. I chose the setting Blood and Broken Bones I think, whichever one was before death. I'm doing ok so far I got the hang of everything. You can still get your ass whipped though if you fuck up.

Ran into a werewolf as Geralt and I can't defeat him because the asshole keeps regenerating. I don't have the diagram to make that bomb that keeps them from doing that nor do I know where to get it. Gonna put this one on rest for a while, hope it doesn't result in a fail as it was a pretty interesting sidequest.

This has probably already been discussed, but is there any work around the tiny ass font? It renders the game completely unplayable to me unless I put a damn chair closer to the plasma TV, and there's no way I'm playing a 100 hour long game in such discomfort.

This is for those who may want to play on Xbox but are worried about "unplayability"
Besides the opening cutscenes stutter and a few slow downs coming in or out of cutscenes, I have had almost no frame drops in my first hours of playing. The game looks great. I chose this over PS4 because of controller preferences and am glad I did so.

Hi WitcherGaf
I'm stuck very early in the game (on PC) for unknown reasons SPOILERS :
Basically I think it's a bug that prevents me to continue the game. As anyone got the same problem ?
I'm stuck very early in the game (on PC) for unknown reasons SPOILERS :
In exchange of information about Yennefer, I must kill the griffon but first I should get some special herbs and see the hunter who discovered the corpses of the soldiers killed by the griffon. The game indicates two objectives on the map immediately. I liberated a village before advancing in the main story and then surprise : There was nothing on the mini map and even on the huge map, nothing. No markers that indicates where is the two next objectives

Ignite him with Igni and he can't regen.

Yeah pretty much this. I did the bulk of my reading of this thread last night and it seemed a lot more negative impressions than today so far

So can we get some type of support group going for people who picked up the game last night, got started, and now have to sit through 10-11 hours at work before we can fire it up again? I'm jonesin and I don't even think I played past the prologue.
I'm an old man.

Am i the only one that find the controls way too chunky? I'm new to the Witcher series and the movement of the character is so weird for me on both PS4 version and PC version (I bought the PS4 one on accident, nice 100 dollars wasted for one game).
I really enjoy the game though, it's awesome. But i wish i knew why it's stuttering so much and the controls being a bit input laggy.

Agree, the opening 10 minutes is very disconcerting but it's pretty damn solid thereafter.

Tried that, but Igni for whatever reason misses him (like I can see it hits him, but it doesn't set him on fire).
Being curious to the quality of the english voice over I tried to change the language setting from polish to english in the GoG Galaxy app, everything worked fine, no additional download was needed until I tried switching back to polish dub... 3GB download! Really CDPR? Can't keep both language packs on disk without the need of deleting and redownloading them?

Why does he wear the mask!?
Probably too far from him
nah, simulate it. youare not invested in these characters, so you can pick any choice you want
One of the original designers on the first Witcher posted an early build from the 1st Witcher (2002!). I'm not sure if it's worth it's own thread, so I will add it here.

My biggest issue with controls is having to press x a bunch of times to get on the horse. Or having to move back and forth to grab an item because it's too position sensitive

Game is great so far. Killed the griffin last night. Might restart my game today. I had forgotten how mechanically deep the witcher games are and I was a little overwhelmed by figuring out all the game's systems that I didn't properly enjoy the first area. The problems I've had are huge frame rate drops in cutscenes and as everyone has said the movement controls do not feel great. I played the witcher 2 on the 360 and I don't remember it controlling this bad. Also found it funny that the first playable part is hey let's run and jump around and it's just so hard to control fine movements.

Not right now unfortunately. Hopefully a patch will fix it
Well then, exploring does give you neat stuff even early on :b
Holy shit...
Are you tracking that quest? Only tracked quest shows up on the map.

I found that sword in Witcher 2. Weird that they make it craftable.

Actually yeah, I wasn't too close. Gonna try to body him up when I get home.

Yeah I feel like it's hypersensitive. What I hate is seeing a prompt above an NPC with the x button that says "talk" then hitting it and getting a one sentence response. Hard to tell which NPCs will actually initiate a quest or conversation tree.

That's a good way of looking at it, but it may also affect my Witcher III story. I guess being able to make decisions can't be a bad thing.
Damn, I am starting to run low on healing items because of the whole "no healing with meditation" rule on hard difficulty. Any easy way to get a lot of them? I don't want to lower the difficulty purely to get the meditation heal, I actually really like the fact that you can die easily if you don't pay attention, keeps the combat very tense.
I had a similar issue. After completing the witcher 2 on my main save, I immediately reloaded an old save before the Roche/Ivoreth choice to see the other path. So my main end-game save was buried somewhere in the middle of 100+ saves. Took a while to discover which one was correct, and I am still not 100 % sure. The lack of feedback in this process is problematic.

Meh, I care more about artstyle and clever use of lighting. I must admit, I've never really understood tge notion that people can't physically stand lower resolutions (above 720) and aliasing, framerates before 60.
I mean I understand the preference absolutely, but I find it perfectly playable
To each his own I guess.
A low resolution and aliasing destroys the image quality of any game no matter how good the art style or lighting.
While the XB1 version isn't "bad" per say, it's definitely poor when you compare it to the rest of the versions. Add the performance issues and that's not helping either.

Played on PS4 for a few hours before heading to work just now. Performance is smooth from the time I've spent so far, what a gorgeous game.
Loving the combat a lot too, playing slow and methodical feels great. I'm going to sink 100 hours in this baby. Just incredible.

On phone with BB CS because my store never received the steel books . Enjoying the game so far though.
. Enjoying the game so far though.You'll meet characters that may be dead or alive. Other choices are simply small dialogue changes. Nothing major.
