I suspect you have to play the whole game at whatever difficulty you want the trophy for.
Man, just when i thought the game can't go any darker, I do the quest a tower full of mice and
This game isn't afraid to be very extreme with the stories it wants to tell, and I really like that.
the way that women died, eaten alive from the inside out by rats while she is paralyzed but still conscious, is just horrific.
You don't enjoy the beautiful backflip water repeated sequence in trying to reach something 1'' from you while a death counter is slowing ticking away?
You can die in 3-5 hits from enemies and lower exp from killing. But the game will become a cakewalk with OP skills as you level.
Rage management+adrenaline build=endless spamming of signs and literally Phoenix Down/Rebirth 24/7 buff on Geralt.

It'll put hair on your chest!
I don't actually know. It may very well be just bigger incoming damage and/or bigger enemy health pools.
To quote the patch thread...

Phantom of Eldberg contract.
What a twist at end. Kinda peeved at the villagers bullshit.

Yeah, these controls are terrible but at least the Killer Whale potion makes them less infuriating as you have more leeway.

I was a proud high level witcher untill i repeatedly died trying to get some treasure from a lv 6 treasure hunt.
it wasnt guarded by strong monsters, it was just a lonely chest inside a sunken ship....
imagine how infuriating it was doing all of Velen (including any and all sunken treasures and smugglers' caches) without even knowing you could shoot underwater monsters with your crossbow...
That's not the issue everyone has with the swimming controls. It's trying to loot something while swimming underwater that is causing all the complaints.

I read that here a few days ago, it blew my mind and made everything 100 times easier lol.

Pretty sure the issue people are having with swim controls is that they are complete shit in general, especially when you try to dive, surface, or accelerate (which is the same button for looting chests and causes the somersault problem).
Haven't had a problem opening chests after I started just using the sticks.
I think Witcher 2 you could play the entire prologue on whatever difficulty you wanted. Then once it was over the difficulty you were on and stayed on, you would get the trophy for.
Dunno if it's the best, but I have a +70. Bought off some random merchant.

That's +100, sold in Novigrad by a merchant available once you move the story forward a bit.

From my experience with both B&BB and Death March, enemies have more health and seem even more aggressive. Not sure if Geralt has less health, or if resistances are lowered.
Getting into a Death March fight with a group of Nekkers or Drowners is pretty harrowing early on. Things go south quick if you make a mistake. That is, until you get active shield Quen.
I'll keep my eye open. Thanks.

+100 is the best(available later on in novigrad) but in crows perch the wife of that dwarf armorer sells a +70 one. That should be enough for a long time.

I bought a +70 saddlebag from the female armourer in Crows Perch.
In Novigrad is a +100 saddlebag from a merchant in Putrid Grotto apparently. It costs 900 and can be upgraded in Skellige. You need to follow Triss' storyline to have a chance to buy. This is what I read. Haven't been to Novigrad yet.

Console patch up yet? I don't wanna play until the xp bug is fixed. =\
I have to say that I really feel like picking up horse riding again after playing this game.
One thing though. People have raised complaints that sometimes Roach just stops without any reason, invisible objects or what have you. But you don't know the half of it. I'm telling you this is an accurate simulation. In real life that horse fear level is beyond death match. Maxes out without any warning and down you go.

I really love the game and the story but my god how fucking shit is the combat in this! For me personally it just doesn't work. I wasn't expecting an utter "whack-a-mole" but the fighting in this game feels so terrible that I actually dread getting into a fight with anything. The targeting is the main culprit here imo. In most fights you're fighting multiple mobs and you lock on to one while the others cheap shot you from behind and geralt is so sluggish while trying to parry ( which btw seems to do fuck all unless I'm doing it wrong which is entirely possible ). Dodging helps a bit but rolling seems to be the key except it drains your stamina which is needed for the all important signs.
Stuck on a boss fight atm. with nothing but some 3 swallows which seem to do jack shit so its a question of using some serious cheese tactics for 10+ minutes provided the moronic targeting system doesn't fuck you over.
Ah fuck it! Gonna try again tomorrow with a clear head and more patience.
By the way, is it me or do the side quests reward woefully low experience ? I've been doing mostly them since the beginning and all I seem to get is 10-50xp per side quest which feels like a complete waste of time. Didnt think I outlevelled them that fast.

No. The certification process usually takes a week, so the patch won't be up on consoles until Thursday or Friday at the earliest.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Don't use the lockon button during mob fights, you'll do poorly. It's to be used on 1v1 encounters esp. with flying enemies.

Also, Quen is your friend when you're outnumbered. A pack of Wolves 3 levels lower than you cant take you out if you aren't prepared early on in the game

ikr.
First time a game has startled me with thunder, too. There was a huge rain storm out on some Skellige Island, and I was just thinking about how there wasn't any thunder/lightning when BOOM
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
This too. Relied heavily on Quen early on.
Yea, this advice helped me a lot.
Stop locking on. It doesn't really make sense to focus on one enemy when you're surrounded by 10. The soft lock is extremely generous and lets you switch between targets rapidly so you don't get cheapshotted from behind.

Even if you were into modding, the 460 isn't a card I'd play this with. I'd get it on PS4 if I had to choose between the two. Or upgrade your PC. I'd upgrade the PC.
So I bought a GTX 980 over the weekend. The performance I was getting with my 780 was pissing me off. It felt like no matter what settings I'd put it on, it'd always stay at less than 50fps. The GTX 980 runs this game literally maxed out(minus hairworks) at 60+fps. I love it.
I also decided to step-up the 980 to the 980ti. Hopefully, I can get 60fps with Hairworks with it. Or at least very close. Now to just wait on the step-up program.

Crones question
what happened to the one that got away?
Admiral Woofington
Member
not yet. But should be at some point this week
hmm my plan to only do ?s today while I wait for the xp fix (hopefully) tomorow backfired since the Hidden Treasure variety of ? count as quests, and im not getting xp from any of them
oh well >_>
oh well >_>
well that's a bummer. wasnt it monday?
what does the bug entail exactly anyway? been a busy end of the week
I just finished a very low level main quest that I had in the backburner and it gave me no XP
it entailed just one dialogue option, basically, so im not sure if it should, but might as well quit the game and check here
Tuesday or Wednesday with the likely option being Wednesday.
Yeah, but I don't think they need the books to do so since Andrzej have compained that the Witcher games din't use his books or something.
Yeah, I assume it won't be until after Cyperpunk is out.

Not 100% since I already beat the game, but the bug is simply that if you are within a certain level away from a quest, regardless if it's green or grey, you get no experience and then the rest of the quests don't give you exp regardless of level. The reason they're taking a while I believe is because they're also coincidentally patching a bunch of other issues at the same time.

in the bad ending she is hunted down by geralt, in the good endings she's not addressed at all.
