I just hit level 25 and I'm only at the story mission where
I have to go get Uma at the Baron's place
Did you do all question marks on both huge maps? That helps. I did all of them in Velen/Novigrad before I moved on and I still have around 125 left in Skellige to do lol

I've done barely any of the question marks so maybe that's it. I found them a bit tedious so just stopped. I'll start mopping them up, I crafted a full set of superior Ursine and superior Feline armour but can't equip either for another couple levels :<
That is the reported (soft?) cap, but you will not get much further than 35 in one playthrough
No clue. Been on BBB from beginning.
No I wouldn't say so. Still plenty left. How much I dunno as I haven't finished yet either.

No it doesn't.
It's not. It's practically impossible to get above level 39/40, even if you do everything because the highest quest (which there is only one) is set at level 35.

Does the game get more interesting after you leave White Orchard and meet that girl friend of yours? So far the main starting game area has been really dry... PS4 version here if that makes a difference.
I did all the question mark quests in the main starting area and yeah...not sure I want to keep going if its just going to be more of the same.

This is why debates where people claim games like The Order are objectively better visually than TW3 and present screenshots to back up their claims frustrate me.
Games that have CGI type visuals have worlds that are far less complex, far less interactive with far less moving parts.
Watching TW3 in motion (especially at 60 fps or 4k, or *drools* both!) and the games visuals suck me in far more than the many games that look more impressive in screens.
Composition and visuals and clarity in motion are just as important when considering the quality of graphics, imo.
It does, the quest lines become much more intricate and impactful.
Saying that, I found WO quite engaging.
No.
Also no need to keep any of those after you read them.
So read them and sell it drop.
Also buy saddle bags to increase your inventory by up to 100.

I hope for the DLC/expansion, they allow us to buy property
I want my own home, and I want to decorate it!
Oh man... I hope so. Imagine, that you can decorated with your trophies! Griffin head above the bed.

Just finished the Game, and wow, what a ride. Awesome Story. Definitely my favorite RPG so far. Got a cool ending where
Ciri becomes a Witcher like Gerald.
I romanced Triss and moved with her to Kovir, so can anybody tell me what happens with Yennefer after you finished the game? Didn't get a Shortstory for her future.

I guess you're talking about
Triss
White Orchard is tiny compared to Velen/Novigrad/Skellige so if you didn't enjoy White Orchard then maybe it's not for you. For me I completely cleared White Orchard and was positively overwhelmed by the next area. For example it took me 10 hours to clear White Orchard. 45 hours into Velen/Novigrad and I've hardly even started it except for the main story. I could see myself spending another 15-20 hours here before it's cleared up and I move to Skellige.

Depending on what happens during the war, it can be infered that Yennefer
becomes Emhyrs(or Ciri's depending on what ending you get)mage advisor. She states throughout the game that her reward for helping Emhyr is a high level position in the Imperial Court.

Another Question, i'm Level 34 and need some 269 XP more to get to Level 35 and receive my Trophy. Where are some high level Enemies?
ending spoiler
Yen apparently goes serving Emhyr. if you choose Yen, Geralt and Yen retire and spend time together in Kaer Morhen, doing nothing.

Geralt having a home makes absolutely no sense neither in context nor with his character.
MistaPropella

Playing gwent tournaments and talking on quests to find old lady's pans doesn't fit with the urgency of the story either.
Besides, Geralt could rent a dwelling to use as storage not necessarily a home, there's nothing out of character with that.
Also any kind of persistent storage system doesn't make logical sense (they could use magic to explain it I guess).
It's surprising a character like Geralt doesn't have lock ups scattered about.

White Orchard is more of a prologue area. What did you find really dry about it?
Not all quest parts give xp. Which one was it?
That would cheapen and negate the point of having consequences in the first place.
Granted, that specific situation is impossible to predict and doesn't need to be designed that way, but that's no reason to destroy the importance of choice and consequence throughout the whole game.
But he does have a home, Kaer Morhen, and in that home each witcher has a bed in the common room. A bed with a chest next to it. There's your lore-friendly storage feature right there!
Maybe a hint or something then? I get your point that a warning would spoil a quest.

You don't think it's strange for this traveling man who wanders all over the place to have a permanent home? Nothing out of character?
If they're going to have a storage system, they should just make it like in The Witcher 2.
Bought this game I don't know how many months ago but I'm finally going to be able to start it up.
Few questions though.
Does this game have a Dragon Age keep like options for setting up previous game decisions? I don't have any old save files.
What are optimal settings for a 980GTX? I want as consistent 60 FPS as possible.
EDIT: Difficulty wise, I want something close to TW2 on hard. Which one should I go with?

yes it does..it appears later in the game though..not at the beginning
also..the things that change are very minimal.

Yes on Dragon Age keep style options, but it's only boiled down to about 5 questions. It's in-game too, so no separate setup needed. If you need a primer, Google "Kotaku Witcher 3 primer" for a great one.
Can't speak to comp settings, I'm on PS4.

The game has been out for less than a month, so probably not that many months ago.

i went through like 3/4 of the game before realizing you could loot monster's nests, and that was only because there was a quest item in one of them lol.
so much loot just left lying there ;_;
Really doesn't sound normal.

On Death March, at level 15 and pretty current gear, I can still sometimes almost die from level 9 drowners if I get sloppy. Even level 5 wolves + level 8 dire wolf can sometimes get me to half health if they get a good combo on me. A particular fight against a lot of humans in Novigrad in a tight space had me dying pretty quickly when they comboed me one after another. Basically, you can't play lazy at these 'early' levels on Death March.

Is leveling progression the same on Death March as it is on Blood and Broken bones? I feel I need to ramp up the difficulty but don't want to extend my play time through less leveling because I'm already logging massive hours into this play through. Do I get the same amount of XP and do you level up at the same rate?

Darn us for trying to be overprotective.

Gonna go back and correct things, glad I made saves
I'm finally level 31 and can use the Mastercrafted Ursine Armor... My God, this is the best armor I've seen in this entire game. (And a lot of other games, for that matter). I may be a slow tank, but damn, I'm a good looking one.
Also I didn't get an answer before, but does anyone know if there's a quest that signifies a "point of no return"? I'm currently in Novigrad doing
..
. I'd assume this quest would be it, so should I finish off all the Side Quests / Contracts now? Or can I do that after the game is over?

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Trying to grind out the 50 headshots achievement.
What a fucking nightmare. I have no way of knowing what counts as a headshot and what doesn't.
Feels like I killed 50 of them long ago. Probably something CDPR threw into the game without actually play testing to see if it was practical.

Sounds cool.
Challenge was kind the same on Blood and Broken Bones!, but it didn't last that much.
