I dunno, I've rolled away unscathed from pretty big drops. I think you're overstating the gravity of the situation.

If only I New-ton then what I know now... (good tip on the roll, will have to use that.)

 

[Klyka]

It's a bit ridiculous how feeble Geralt is when it comes to anything more than a two foot drop. Jump over a three foot wall and lose over half his health. > <

Press the dodge button right before you land to do a roll and either take now fall damage or way way less than you would.

 

[Dahbomb]

I lost a quarter of health falling down some steps. Geralt has some weak knees; dude is the Dwayne Wade of Novigrad.

Dude drops 8 feet and basically dies. I can make jumps like that in real life and still come out without a scratch.

But in TW3, fall damage is realistic. Geralt isn't damaged by a fall of 4-5 feet, like in real life. But falls of 10 feet or so, which would stun you a bit even if you land on your feet, stun him, too, with a small bit of damage.

Fall from 15-20 feet &#8211; something which is brushed off by protagonists in basically any game ever &#8211; and you will very likely be hurt to some degree, and Geralt is, indeed, hurt.

Once I saw how significant and realistic fall damage is in this game (vaulting off of the catwalk up to the Baron's house), I never dropped significant heights again unless I had to. It's been a non-issue for me because the game's language taught me not to take any chances with it, like you wouldn't in real life.

TL;DR: In real life, gravity's a bitch. In The Witcher 3, gravity's a bitch. Get used to it.

Fall damage is not realistic in this game at all... It's way overtuned compared to real life.

Dude can run for 24 hours without needing to eat/drink/sleep and do other near super human things but can't take a 8 foot drop? Come on now.

 

[Krauser Kat]

trying to think about fallout after playing witcher is making me sigh. F3 was boring and bland update to that universe. NV did a better job but the gameplay in gamebryo just isnt interesting.

 

[GavinUK86]

You guys are doing it wrong. Geralt can jump anything and survive. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Lol apparently downing winged creatures over water will kill them instantly. Wrecked a basilisk 12 lvls higher than me with one bolt. Felt like a god.

Is there any particular reason why I'm getting attacked by guards in Novigrad and I'm doing zero damage to them? They are completely invincible.

Geralt's face when Molly asks him if he's the Geralt Dandelion has saved from death countless times.

Geralt's face when Molly asks him if he's the Geralt Dandelion has saved from death countless times.

That little encounter is one of the funniest moments in the game to me. "More like the Crimson Asshole"

LOL

Where can I find a Journeyman sword smith to craft me some sweet Ursine swords?

Geralt's face when Molly asks him if he's the Geralt Dandelion has saved from death countless times.

The entire questline is basically one glorious moment of Geralt going "for fuck's sake, Dandelion!" after another :-D

[peonlin]

This aspect of the system bothers me, too.

If I upgrade Quen level 1 to 3/3, then I unlock Quen level 2 and upgrade it to 1/3, but Quen level 1 isn't in an active slot, do I only get the 1/3 Level 2 effect or do I get the buffs from Level 1 as well? (Eg +1.5% sign intensity).

Not getting the active effect seems fair enough, but not getting the intensity/stat buffs seems unfair.

Anyone knows the answer? Id hate having to buy another respec potion

I actually liked the platforming, but it was sometimes a little finicky. I wish there was more of it.

 

[xezuru]

Maybe it's just placebo effect, but when I first started the game and started out playing qwent, all the NPCs looked ballin and excited to play, but as I got deeper into the game and stealin MFers cards, everything resulted in:

-"How bout a game of gwent?"
-*the saddest merchant look/nod in the world*

Thanks! On my way!

Word has spread of the heartless Witcher who forces hapless merchants to put up their prized cards as a stake while all he offers is meagre amounts of coin.

Who's going to arguer with a man who carries two swords and slays monsters for a living?

 

[Grimgrillz]

Reached level 21 and to my dismay side quests and contracts have stopped giving me XP or next to no XP. Very frustrating considering I'm 2 levels away from upgrading my armor. Anyone have any recommendations. I've tried 6 contracts and quests all level 26-30 but still the max I've gotten in 20xp.

I still love this game but my frustration is growing.

It's those dastardly elves I tell ya.

Anyone with the no "xp bug" not have any of the free DLCs?

I never noticed that! Huh.

 

[Chitown B]

I'm getting sick of enemies knowing when you put up Quen and immediately hitting you to remove it. It defeats the purpose of using it. They shouldn't get extra attack power or reaction just because you put your shield on. Fucking ridiculous.

 

[GavinUK86]

We really need a storage chest or bag or something added in a future patch.

I've crafted all the collectible Witcher armor and I don't really wanna destroy it all because I'm now overburdened.

So has anyone had major problems being underleveled because of the main quest not giving experience? I am level 16 and just finished the quest where you

Create more space, or use a bomb to CC, if you stand close to them and activate it there's a good chance they'll exploit the opening.

Then there's that armorer that advertises a crossbow he's not even selling.

 

[Oynox]

Luckily, I got a CE from Amazon for 150€. It was sold after some minutes. Finally, I can play Gwent in real.

What cards do you get? Is it the entire set?

I know there's a set if high res images you can print, but I'd like to buy the official set if it's complete. Hope they sell them separately at some point. 150 euro is a but much.

Try this:
https://github.com/fatalis/witcher3weight/releases

Where can it and the crossbows be purchased?

- The armor set and Nilfgaardian crossbow can be purchased from the Barons Quartermaster in No Man's Land.
- The Skellige crossbow can be bought from Skellige Kaer Trolde Castle Blackmsmith.
- The Elven crossbow can be purchased from the Novigrad Fancy Shop Owner.

 

[GavinUK86]

Where can it and the crossbows be purchased?

Armor is from the quartermaster where the Bloody Baron is.

Level 7 Nilfgaardian crossbow is from the same guy.

Level 14 Skellige crossbow is from the Blacksmith at Kaer Trolde.

Level 21 Elven crossbow is from a Novigrad merchant apparently but I haven't been able to find that one yet.

Try this:
https://github.com/fatalis/witcher3weight/releases

Thanks.

I've just resorted to installing a weight mod from Nexus to solve my issue.

I just can't bring myself to sell all the pretty armors! lol

 

[Respect]

No, don't think downloading any of the DLC would fix it, I was just curious if the bug is related to the DLC.

I haven't. I don't think I got exp for a single main quest in Novigrad and I'm still 4 levels above the main quest, which in Novigrad ends at level 13. So youre alrerady well ahead of it yourself. Its kinda ridiculous to think that if I didn't have the bug I might be like 5 or 6 levels ahead.

Cheers guys. Crazy that the Nilfy gauntlets are level 37 requirement.

 

[DrGonzo615]

I need a bit of help with a certain quest in Velen regarding a 'tree'. It should be one of the final main quests for Velen, so don't read if you haven't done that already.

Spoiler

I came across a spirit residing in a tree and decided to free it, though I'm not particularly sure if that was the right choice. However, I was then told that rescuing the spirit results in some orphans I saw earlier being saved from being eaten by the crones and the old woman, Gram, would die as a result as well (unfortunately).
I took the only other quest open to me and went back to the village, played hide and seek, found johnny, helped him, talked to the crones, got the dagger, talked to the village elderman and told him I freed him. When I came back, the three crones appeared, the old woman was alive and they spoke about eating the children.

My question is: What the fuck? That's not supposed to happen, is it? Did something go wrong?
I'm tempted to go back and kill the spirit, since this just seems like a bad result. It turning into a hellhorse wasn't exactly comforting.

Uh, sounds a like a glitch or something? You got the wrong result.

 

[EatChildren]

Completed all contracts. Finished almost all quests. All that remains are some treasure hunts, racing, and Gwent. And obviously any ! I've missed and will need a guide to find.

Looking forward to getting stuck into Gwent, but a part of me is depressed the journey is more or less over .

 

[SockyJohnson]

About to start playing this finally.
This is going to be my whole weekend haha

 

[aku:jiki]

Oh, man, I knew I saw something happen to my potion recipes a few days ago when I went on a potion brewing spree after finding some ingredients I had been looking for. I didn't know what it was but I saw in the corner of my eye that the list switched around as I made a potion. Now I see I've lost recipes!

As far as I've been able to google, you're supposed to start with the Golden Oriole recipe but I don't have the recipe nor do I have the potion. Enhanced Golden Oriole appears to have taken Golden Oriole's place, like it does when you complete an upgraded version of a potion, without me having ever made the original. Seems like I can't ever make that potion now and who knows what other recipes have gone permanently missing.

more often than not it's projectiles. Especially swamp hags. If you get hit with their spit with a shield on it shouldn't cover your screen.
