Man I just LOVE this world and lore

Love the mythical monsters, just so enjoyably told. The vibrant colours of this game just helps so much

Post Tri-city Ciri search spoilers:
This "side dialog scene" in Kaer Moren bring together the best of what I love about / what I want in RPGs and the lack of recurring base convos that actually build your characters.

Question about the quest "Redania's most wanted"

Can you give that crystal to one of the sorceresses instead of Radovid, like it says in the quest description? Hope so cause really dont' want to give the crystal to Radovid but want to find Philipa

For as much as CDPR enjoyed lambasting "FedEx" type quests, this game is 80% copy/paste filler shit on the world map ala Ubisoft/Rocksteady.

1. Restore an abandoned town by killing the monster infestation.
2. Blow up a monster nest
3. Find a key on a corpse, then search the area for a locked chest
4. Person in distress (sometimes locked in a cage inside a bandit camp)
5. Treasure guarded by a "tough" monster
6. Sunken treasure

Am I missing anything? The actual treasure is incredibly generic too. There's absolutely never anything worth getting excited over when you open up a chest, unless it's a new plan or page. For being an open world game, the loot is probably the most boring since vanilla Diablo 3.

The storytelling with the main quest, as well as many of the actual side quests is top notch, but the world map exploration sucks for anything worthwhile.

Those points of interest are just that. Points on interest meant to be happened across while doing actual quests. I have found plenty of good stuff in them. Relic crafting material on top of some equipment upgrades every now and again. There is a difference between these being almost the only thing to do in the game, like a Ubisoft game or Inquisition, and being able to ignore them completely and still have a metric fuck ton of side content.

Having a controller issue on PC, shot in the dark if anyone might know the solution.

Windows 7, GOG version

Left trigger doesn't function with a wired XB1 controller. It works fine in other games.

Left trigger works fine with a wired 360 controller.

Saw one unresolved thread online for this. Any suggestions or ideas?

Does two head horse counts as monster? XD

Oh my, I sure am glad that my computer can run this great game.

Already level 14 and just
Finished the Bloody Baron quest-line.... Wow that's dark...

Anyway, has anyone been able to gather a mod for the crappy inventory system yet? Much appreciated.

Sure did, I figured out how to do it with DS4Windows. They are working great, its kinda of baffling that this isn't the default method.

Nice one. There was one guy in that thread that was trying to get it to work in DS4Windows, but was having issues. So feel free to share your set up there if you feel like it. But good to see you got it working. And yeah, it's quite surprising why this isn't an option in the game by default, considering you can still use all the normal functions like the radial wheel etc.

Well, looks like the no XP bug got me. I did one full mission without XP rewards. Probably gonna just stop here for a bit and wait for the patch.

I'd like to think it's CDPR's way of keeping me from overloading.
 
The camera during battle is so annoying. Doesn't stay focused behind Geralt, and lock on feels cumbersome. Any help?
Try this method for combat - don't lock on to enemies, rather attack and use the left stick to strike the enemy you want to hit. Think of it almost like batman combat when you are fighting groups of enemies. Dodge a ton, as if Geralt is 'dancing' like Syrio Forel.

Pretty upset on how the whole Blood Baron thing ended for me...didnt really notice that many decision to make that affected the outcome and all and I am pretty sure I got a shit ending...might have to use an older save and retry that one...

Roll with the punches, man!

This is my favorite song in the game so far, but why can't I find it in the official soundtrack?

Quite a lot of the soundtrack is missing from the OST disc :(

The fact that the outcome actually hit you like that means the game is doing its job :) best thing to do is just live with the consequences!

What quest was it? I had a few give no exp but i finished the game at lvl 35 on BaBB.
 
So whats the best armor in the game? The best looking? And how do you get it?

Best armor (and swords arguably) depends on your preference of light, medium, heavy.

Best looking it's largely agreed to be the Bear school armor. As to how you get it you might want to google it as you need to grab schematics from all around the maps

The Bloody Baron quest was fantastic. After stumbling a bit initially I've adapted to the combat and I'm really enjoying it now. This is definitely the best game of this gen thus far.
 
Question about how much more I have to go:

I'm running around Kaer Morhen doing some tasks for Yen after bringing Uma to her. How much left?

I don't know if it's just me but the rarest weather condition in the game is a completely cloudless blue sky, only saw it once. Suddenly, the sky looked just weird and then it hit me :O

Yeah, I think it must be. I can't remember seeing it all yet.

In Novigrad:
Sigi's Treasure

Made sure it wasn't in the grey, too.
Im trying to remember if I got exp for it, i remeber in Novigrad being weirded out by a few quest not giving exo and i did 2 quests before the end if the gane that didnt.

Im thinking some not all people are running into quests that dont give exp and assume they hit the exp bug. No way to know though, hope it gets fixed quick for people effected. I need a few days to digest everything before Death March so ill probably wait for 1.04
 
fuck the police. I can't wait until god damn 4-5 months from now before replaying the game again. The itch is real. Time to do another playthrough with different choices.

I'll probably play on easy though since I just want to get through the story asap.

OK I beat the game, so did I miss anything to do with the
king of Beggars
? Other than a few cutscenes he didn't do much.

Just hit the endless loading bug in the king gambit questline. Bummer... I have plenty of saves to go back to, but it'd be nice to continue the questline without having to pick another choice.

The crowd density on PC is just awesome. Really makes the city and public establishments really feel like things are poppin. Love the atmosphere.

Welp, I just fucking got the XP bug.

Christ.

It's very annoying. I'm no longer gaining XP from any quests (or at least those I tried), basically rendering the game uncompletable, unless grinding monster kills for an absurd amount of time.

This on top of the many inventory crashes I had in the beginning :(

Just got to novigrad. Man i hate the eternal fire, they are pretty much a fantasy ISIS and i want to burn their organization to the ground.

In previous Witcher games I took pleasure in eradicating them whenever i could.

On a positive note,
