Are the question marks worth doing? I have accumulated a lot of them and did a handful last night and I got some XP and some items but sometime the mobs are out of my level range and it becomes a waste of time. Not sure if time investment is worth the return.

Not the end game.

 

[Sothis Krieg]

Since patch 1.05 on pc performances took a pretty heavy hit for me, seems to happen in forested areas. Somebody has the same issue ?

 

[Kadin]

Don't understand the hate with the swimming controls. Point with the camera stick and then go... Pretty straight forward.

I'm just finding it very counterintuitive compared to swimming in other games. A lot of those games you adjusted your up/down direction by the right analog stick and then used left to move. It's weird setting your depth by button pressing and then just moving level.

So some time ago I saw a short clip of

Spoiler

Geralt seemingly fighting a giant dragon on some sort of tower.

. I finished the game with nearly all contracts and got nothing resembling this. Is there a secret contract I missed? Maybe I was imagining things...

I just did that part and it is pretty damn great.

Sure it wasn't Ciri? Or The Witcher 2?

Quick question. Do Witcher swords get upgraded just like the armor sets?

Sounds like the end of Witcher 2

 

[Rhaknar]

not the Viper ones, the others yes

 

[Heel]

Any reason to keep the Viper swords and Warrior's Jacket once you level out of them? Doesn't seem like there's upgrades, but maybe I'm missing something...

not the Viper ones, the others yes

Well that was quick, haha.

the only thing that comes to mind is the tower with the drawn up bridge which can only be accessed from underwater, there is a wyvern on top and some griffin schematic there.

if its not that then it sounds like witcher 2

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Yeah I've had some issues with the races cos Roach is a total piece of shit. Even on clear paths he'll just randomly stop for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Garbage horse.

My horse does this sometimes too. So I just treat it as realistic instead of a bug.

I looked like the Witcher 3, man I don't know what was it.

 

[Gurish]

How important it is to build an armor set of the same type (Relic or Magic ect...), what do i get from such a set compared to mix parts?

They're all useless when compared to a Witcher set of armor, anyway. I'd try and collect those diagrams.

So why are bandits in Novigrad attacking me without a reason? Just fought back and killed some. Are they supposed to attack me or did I something to piss them off?

you can bang all of them but only Triss or Yen, choose.

 

[ICKE]

I wish Ciri was real.

What are you talking about. She's over here, I'm trying to ask her about that weird world with megascope esque devices.

Apparently we will find out in approximately 52 years, Cyber something something.

But I understand the pain, this world is extremely immersive and I would definitely recommend reading the novels. A lot more Ciri content there.

 

[Akhe]

Man, I love Skellige.

Dammit, think I've locked myself out of a Triss sidequests.

Spoiler

Thought when I had the oppotunity to ask her to stay it might mean picking her over Yen, now I have a magic figurine and Geralt is all like, "oh , if only Triss was still here."

Later.

 

[DukeBobby]

Just started Act 3.

I've definitely played for at least 100 hours at this point, and I've done all but 2 contracts. Still got about 60 ?'s in Skellige to do, though. I'll probably do those after I've finished this game. I've not even played Gwent yet.

This game is seriously something special. One of the greatest games I've ever played.

 

[toastyToast]

Leshens look so freaking cool

The Woodland Spirit contract though

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

So I'm now in Kaer Morhen after 70 hours. Where do I

Spoiler

find the mattress Yen threw out the window? Isn't there a special item around it that promote more dialog with Triss and/or Yen

?

It's a... let's say micro-quest. It's a single 20 seconds cutscene that's it.

 

[Shouta]

LOL, it happened again. Shot a Basilik out of the air and it crash landed into the water dying instantly.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

+1

Been there done that, gents.

A must in everyones Witcher 3 experience.

 

[Turin Turambar]

They are one of the coolest monsters in the game. Pity that

Spoiler

they are so vulnerable to Igni, it makes combat against them too easy.

 

[Hupsel]

I wish the level up system was better. Reminds me of old mmos where you get one talent point every level to level up boring shit like +5% damage, +5% armor and so on. Wish they only had meaningful perks.

 

[Majukun]

damn..the game really gives you too much exp...ended up doing only at lv 22 the "carnal sins" quest that it's for lv 16..it did undermine the menace and enjoyment of the whole quest

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

i dont think i will enjoy any other rpg after this guys, i just cant get enough and i will forever compare any other game in the same genre to the witcher 3

 

[mileS]

I'm guessing this will either be tweaked over time or a big patch down the line, might change it for the better. Enhanced Edition or something.

 

[Sai]

Want to play a game of Gwent with

Spoiler

Thaler

, but I can't talk to the guy. He's there, at the Seven Cats Inn, and I've waited and even meditated for a few hours, but I cannot initiate dialogue with him. What's up?

[EDIT] - Uh, nevermind. Man, you have to get right up in his face to for the dialogue prompt.

 

[Turin Turambar]

It's one of the big (but few) flaws of a otherwise great game, the balance and difficulty.

I also was over-leveled because I did all the quests I could (why wouldn't I if the writing is so good?), that made me too OP and some monster contracts which should have been cool boss fights were just meh because the feeling of danger wasn't there anymore. And in the half point of the game I switched from Broken Bones to Deatch March. That only fixed the difficulty for ~10 hours, then it returned to too easy.
Including the

Spoiler

Ice giant fight quest

. So much good build up and I beat him easily

 

[Nbz]

Just met

Spoiler

Lambert

in a side quest. Is he from the first game or from the books? He wasn't in Witcher 2 (at least not in the path I chose)

 

[Admiral Woofington]

well other rpgs do shit completely differently though. Pillars of Eternity is completely different from Witcher 3, which is completely different from Fallout's exploration turn based emphasis and once again different to Dark Souls.

Open world heavy story driven dark fantasy action rpg? The closest I can think of is Final Fantasy XV and that won't come out for a while. And it's not even dark fantasy, but their styles are so edgy they cut out the light.

I'll probably finish off Pillars of Eternity soonish and then move on to Xenoblade Chronicles on 3DS.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Man, I love Skellige.

[IMG]http://s25.postimg.org/hzvq8aajj/witcher3_20.jpg[/IMG]

I didn't even get there yet.. I really like this game but I was having more fun doing missions and exploring before I get to city of Novigrad. How are the missions in Skellige?

 

[Mastperf]

Same here. Couldn't loot it and it just laid on it's back on top of the water making that noise.

Firestream does bananas damage. I don't know if its accumulates along but I saw an 8000 damage at one point

 

[blueteainfusion]

the only thing that comes to mind is the tower with the drawn up bridge which can only be accessed from underwater, there is a wyvern on top and some griffin schematic there.

I climbed that tower like a pro, but it's also possible to jump through the bridge. I managed to do it on the first try (then the damn Vyvern killed me before I remembered to save - could repeat that trick afterwards, had to climb those rocks.)
