Final stretch. If you've done the other objectives then you're about to initiate the end game run.

Just did the stranger in a strange land quest.. Love it... Hopefully it inspires other videogames to step outside the tired "hero" tropes, predictable outcomes and embrace narrative surprise and moral ambiguity.

That was a fun ride I still got plenty of side content to see, Tomorrow will go the final stretch
For me
she just reminded Geralt that it was a bed where Geralt fucked with her dear friend. She was furious!

I wish I never heard about the mutagen glitch on neogaf... (in case you don't know your bonus from the mutagen will go away after a load or even after a few moments of normal play...you can test this by seeing your bonus in the bottom right on damage and taking off your red and then reapplying your red mutagen and see if your damage is different, or check your sign damage/bonus after taking off and putting on again the blue)
now I don't even know if it is worth messing with them since they keep going away for me.

Have you actually tested if the actual damage changes when using Signs? I recall someone else saying it didn't and it was a display bug only.
Great game. But had to come on here to say one thing . . .
FIX THE FUCKING FALL DAMAGE.
I CAN'T SURVIVE ACID GETTING SPIT IN MY FACE BY GRAVE HAGS, OR GETTING BODY SLAMMED BY AN ICE GIANT, OR A VICIOUS PACK OF GHOULS, BUT EVEN I CAN SURVIVE A 12 FOOT FALL IN MY CURRENT UNATHLETIC FORM. WHY IN THE FUCK CAN'T GERALT?!

press jump button before landing to roll and eliminate or greatly reduce fall damage
It always had a 'bit' of that but it seems slightly worse now right? Most open world games have really laggy map screens sadly.
I tried this out yesterday and mine was fine with red mutagens. It did change a little bit after re-equipping everything a couple times, but it was like a 5% gain or loss in damage so I didn't worry about it, considering I've got like 90% extra attack power across mutagens and Cat gear
Yes, but you still take too much even when you do it imo, though sometimes I can't tell if I'm mistiming it or not

it is not a display bug...on the official forum they said it was an issue...but you are only losing the base bonus not the extra bonus from matching the same color...so if you have a 10% bonus but a total of 40%...you are actually only getting 30% unless you mess with them all the time...
It is not a lot, but it drives me nuts.

That sort of thing has been the Witcher 3's most genre-defining trait; subverting quest design-related expectations at every turn. You'll have tiny quests that no other developer would even implement, with significant choices and dialog; and seemingly straightforward, short, forgettable quests that will divert into massive sidequests of their own, without any warning beforehand. It's a remarkably fresh take on quest design, bringing a level of creativity and maturity to game design as much as it is to storytelling. More than anything, it displays a level of confidence in their game that's largely unseen nowadays, giving players the possibility to actually miss entire sections of the game without even realising it.
I'm seriously at loss as to how anyone will one-up the Witcher 3's quest and storytelling design for years to come. The ideology that brings about that sort of design is just so counter to the focus-grouped, high-budget games of today, which are utterly mortified of being unclear in any fashion. And smaller budget titles, while potentially having this ambition, will lack the budget/time/polish to pull it off for the most part.
The Witcher 3 is simply amazing.
It's similar to the 3D Legend of Zeldas. Press jump as you land to roll, which will vastly reduce (or even eliminate) the damage received from a fall. Huge drops will still be a problem, but smaller ones will be a trivial loss of health.

Anyone know if it's possibly to patch the game from a usb?
I'm without internet at home at the moment, hoping I can dl the patch at my local library, put it on a usb then patch it back at home.
This can't be done in 2015 can it?
The patches downloaded from GOG Galaxy at least are stored in <install path>GOG Games\!Downloads\the_witcher_3_wild_hunt\patch_witcher3_<whatever version>.exe
You can also download them from the GOG.com site IIRC. Not sure about the Steam version.
yeah it's a lot worse than it was.

Has anyone else been seeing minor graphical glitches with items' icons? I've been seeing this, occasionally, across all patches so far. I'm wondering if it's a game bug or if my PS4 is dying or something.
Awesome, found a handy reddit link, thanks for the fast response man!
For anyone else in my situation:

Just make sure you have the GOG version when patching, as I'm not certain they are compatible with the Steam version. Someone might want to clarify if they know.

It seems like you can lock on to bosses now. I only fought one since the patch, but the camera was following it around.
I've had one item look similar to the shopkeep picture on the right one time only. Hasn't happened since.
I've stuck to pretty much main story missions since I got to Velen, and I'm way overleveled. I'm almost 18 now and still haven't finished all the main story missions there. Hopefully I wont be too overleveled for the rest of the game. I love it though and skipped so much stuff in Velen. I plan to go back whenever I finish the story and fully explore everything.
I have the GOG version, and from what I can see in the comments at that reddit link the patch dl is for the GOG version, so I think I'm in the clear...

Vampire oil, more like.
I'm the troll whisperer in this game. I do my best to never kill the poor dudes.
Kinda depends on your character build. If you invested a bunch of points in signs go with Griffin. If you invested a bunch of points in the combat tree the random one is probably better.
I say Griffin for now, only because the steel sword has 1 slot instead of 3. With 3 you could get 10% sign intensity and then some.
Anyone else have the relic/crafted Arbitrator? My god that sword is awesome, been using it for like 5 levels now
I use a mix of both. 5/5 upgraded for heavy attack and fast attack, plus levelled up the initial Quen and Axii power slots. I'm only level 14 mind.
Pretty much. If you got hard with the spec that matches the set, almost none of the random swords will probably beat having that extra sign intensity on each pieces of gear for Griffin, for example. If you just don't care and go full into combat tree and ignore everything else then I think the random weapons aren't too bad because they have all those massive crit damage multipliers on them usually.
Although if you just go hard into the combat tree that seems really boring to me. Next playthrough I want to do maybe 1/3 combat 2/3 potions with bear armour set.

What's your play style? For me it would be steel, because my play style revolves around immobilising the target and landing criticals from their back. But +10% sign intensity and extra damage is also cool, as is having two slots for supplementing bonuses.

After booting my game, I got a prompt saying the info on the DLC was in the tutorial section of the glossary. I double checked and didn't find anything. Where is it ?

Even for pure sign builds, crit damage >>> sign intensity.

Yep. The way side quests are unfold and how they are so well integrated to the game's world makes everything incredibly authentic. It feels like a living and breathing world like no other open world games before.
And what amazes me the most is that they went from Witcher 2 to this. Don't get me wrong, Witcher 2 is a great game, but the sequel is genre defining to me. And to think that they did it with a fraction of GTAV's (and probably Skyrim's) budget is just... wow. Granted, the game was developed in Poland but still.

You can't do the looting exploit neither(chests, nests, etc), damn it. Not that I'm short on money but you never know!
