How much of the game do I have to download on PS4 before being able to play?

Does it give you a generous chunk (to the point where you won't really notice it) or is it awful like BF4?

Wat.

Bearded Geralt is best Geralt.

Also, ponytail Geralt is canon Geralt.

That's the best choice. I trim his beard once in a while though.

Is this a bug, when I'm removing upgrades from stuff I'm not getting the glyphs or runes back?

If you remove a rune from an item, it destroys it. Removing is for changing runes or glyphs to a different sort.

If you want your runes and glyphs back you have to dismantle the actual item. Choices.

So, I got the 'bad' ending.

I'm bummed out. What a depressing, low-key ending.

Can someone please tell me the key decisions I need to make to get the right endings? Spoiler tag the shit out of it, please. I'm bummed like hell right now!

I have so many alchemy ingredients in my inventory lol do you guys collect every plant you see or only when trying to make a specific potion?

Also is there any way to see the area where specific plants grow?

Game has some serious texture/LOD streaming issues on XB1 after playing for a certain amount of time, but at least it can be fixed by restarting game. Still, kinda annoying.

In the game, no. The strategy guide has a list of them all and where they usually grow. PM if you want the list.

You have to
pick three correct choices out of five possible ones:

1. Have a snowball fight with Ciri.
2. If you take her to see Emhyr, don't accept the reward.
2. Don't accompany her when she has to talk with Phillipa and Margarita.
4. Encourage her to trash Avallac'h's lab.
5. Let her go to Skjall's grave.

Also, taking her to see Emhyr at all will decide what Ciri does afterwards.

Pretty sure that's it. I just finished it this morning, getting the
"witcheress"
ending and I loved it. I'm gonna take a break, play some other games and then start again, this time on the hardest difficulty. Hopefully they'll have fixed most of the bugs by then.

After viewing all the loading movies, that mod to stop them from playing is the best. The voice actor sounds so bored, and the quality of the dialog sucks compared to the rest of the game. Every time I hear it, I get flashbacks of Buzz Aldrin calling some space brat, "my sweet".

The Experience system is so weird. Just did a quest that's fairly near my level and got 5XP, an hour ago I talked to some dude, gave him some meds and got 50 XP.

Really wish there was New Game Plus in this. Finished up and I'd really like to revisit the world and experience the entire story over again, but knowing I'd have to start at level one again is a really discouraging thought for me.

Isn't NG+ confirmed to come as free DLC soon? Or was that just a rumor?

think someone found a new game plus script or some of wizardry. so there's a chance it will be a dlc feature in the future.

just finished up the game myself last week. doing a death march run now. level 11 and trucking! things definitely hit harder but not really super difficult (I played on the sword and story or whatever mode the first time through)

gotta finish before batman comes out! XD

I agree completely would prefer to do Death March on New Game +

One of the complaints that people are making about the game that I agree with is that you get no XP for quests which you are way past the recommended level.

What would be awesome is if CDPR implemented a system that would allow you to scale the quest to your level so you can continue to get XP. Borderlands is another game that ould benefit from this.

I'm about 27 hours into the game at the moment and have only just got around to taking Gwent seriously. Do I need to beat everyone to get all the cards or get an achievement or something like that? Also, the very first guy you meet who introduces you to it. Are you supposed to beat him or is he just there purely to show you how to play? Not sure if he'll still be there in White Orchard.

Have got stuck into this big time over the last two days, up to about 18 hours played now. I'm in the middle of the
Bloody Barren
quests and have done a good few quests for
Kiera (just slept with her).

Initially I was annoyed by the bugs but it's amazing game overall. They've made such an effort to keep the quests interesting. One thing is the map is fucking covered in question marks now and I doubt I'll ever get to half of them, but I guess there's no point in complaining about too much content.

Just disable the question marks and explore naturally. It feels much better.

That's the bug. I'm still getting XP for them, but not a lot. I'm trying to clean up my Novigrad and Velen backlog before I head to Skellige, and some of the quests are only giving me like 5xp.

I did have my first crash today on PS4. Just running around Novigrad, and bam, "TW3 has encountered a problem". I did the submit-ticket thing, I assume they pass those on to the devs.

Also had a glitch in the video recording, I saved a clip from a funny quest with Dandelion, and when I went back to check the saved video, it was only eighteen seconds long and didn't have any of what I actually wanted.

I have no idea, GreyWolf, but God, I hope you're all right and it is DLC. If this game gets New Game Plus, Game of the Year right here for me.

NG+ would be pretty nice. Don't wanna have to refind all of the school of the bear and the maiden fair gear. Just wanna deal with harder enemies, not remake everything.

NG would be pretty cool. I hope they don't lock you out of getting the trophy for playing on the hardest difficulty though.

Scavenger and treasure hunts aren't supposed to reward XP, correct? In other words, the reward are the items you receive as part of completing the quests?
