Dont steal from people's houses. Geralt would not do that and it is a waste of time anyway, they dont have anything valuable to Witcher there.
Check if you have alternative movement enabled in the options, it is more responsive and many people prefer it to default.
Dont bother with the atrocious costumes. They are automatically worn by some of the female characters and are really inferior to their defaults.
They can be turned off in the DLC menu
December next month, iirc
anyone ?

I don't think there is any "ratio". Just play however you want. If you feel like talking to Triss, go talk to Triss.

The values in my file are set to "1"
You could have just copied your file elsewhere, let the game create it and then see the value and rewrite it again with your file, you know.
Picked this game up on the PSN flash sale. Just stepping out into the world now. Compared to Fallout 4 the dialogue is sure a hell of a lot more natural and well written. One thing Fallout 4 does have on this game though is IQ. On the PS4 version the fairly prevalent pixel crawl really sticks out to me. Of course in exchange you're getting a far more lush and lively environment. Also detail doesn't seem to drop off as severely at distances. Give and take.
Was a big fan of Witcher 2. Looking forward to falling deep into this. Probably pick up the DLC when I'm through.

Should I play this with 360 controller or M/K? Also, is starting the game on Death March difficulty a good idea? Finished both predecessors on highest difficulty.

Both are good so try both and see which you prefer. I played it for 230 hours on a controller since I have my PC connected to TV and it was fine. Make sure to try out alternative movement in the options menu, makes Geralt more responsive. If you finished both previous on hardest, you should be fine here as well. It is hard at the start with not much skills unlocked, but it is doable.

Help with Triss/Yen relationship!
So, I didn't finish the game yet, I just finished the Battle of Kaer Mohern. That said, I noticed that some romance dialogue options from patch 1.10 didn't appear to me (I saw a video and I knew it should happen as soon as Triss appears at Kaer Mohern). I thought it was weird since I had previously said "I love you" to both Triss and Yennefer. Searching for it, I came to know that if you do that, both of them will dump you in a "threesome" event. Well, I don't want that to happen as I already decided for Triss, but it seems I'm screwed. But the info I got about that was before the huge update. I want to know if they added an option to prevent that or if I want to have a happy ending, I should reload a old save.

Women... giving you trouble in virtual life as well. Well, can't blame them. lol

Sorry for another bump:
But if I say I love you to Triss, I can still do the unicorn scene with Yennefer, right after arriving at Skellige, without getting screwed?
Ganzlinger

Thanks!
In any case,
your romance towards Yennefer will not count unless you did the last wish quest and say you love her at the end.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Yennefer was somebody I liked less and less with each playthrough. Dont know if anyone else felt that way.

GOG.com posted an 'Epic' trailer in their news section. First scene appears to spoil one of the alternate Bloody Baron quest choice paths, at which point I closed the tab since I'd rather only know my own choices until another playthrough.
Edit: watched the whole thing, isn't really spoilery apart from some edited moments.

Funny, I felt the complete opposite with each playthrough. I find her a more interesting character (I understand she can be unpleasant to some players, though).
If anything, the game gave me more reason to start reading the books (I'm at The Last Wish as we speak) .

You can glitch through a wall in the lower area to get out of there, you'll fall for a while until the forced fast-travel menu pops up, then you're free.
I just googled "witcher 3 bear armor glitch" or something like that and found a video showing the spot.
I had that as well. I reloaded an earlier save and it worked again.
Got this gaem "again" and I forgot everything, any info on best armor to chop fools in half or a pure melee build that makes Geralt a overpowered monster?
I got the Viper School sword set any other I should look for?
I find more enjoyment if I know what build is my goal than wonder around aimlessly.

Get the Cat (Feline) gear when you can, but it'll take you a while yet. Early on you kind of just pick what you can find.
Feline (Cat) nice, thanks, yeah I figured at the start I will just use the best I find and puting points on the attack tree.

Man I hope the game picks up in pace. I was pretty sceptical when I heard that W3 is open world as I loved the good pacing of the predecessors (although arguably, people hate chapter 1 in W1; I liked it a lot). Exploration is just boring to me. :/ Open World is IMO just inherently inferior to big individual areas like in W1. It's just more boring with no upsides that matter to me.

Keep in mind that you can respec later. Focusing on the attack tree is a good idea though; the fast attack skills are very good. You might also want to get the blue Axii skill to be able to persuade people in conversations, and there's a yellow skill called Sun & Stars which is very useful, especially early on, and later you'll want to get the yellow skill for your armor class. But yeah, focus on the red skills for now.

Starting W3 fresh.
Any reason to buy and install hearts of stone from the beginning or is it okay to wait until later on to do it?

So you know what to drop when you're overburden?
Im having a very tough time with this game, maybe its bc im an rpg scrub, i tend to avoid them
Im at the part where you are trying to find ciri and you fight a golem and than a massive knight
These Enemies are so strong. I cant even hurt the knight. I have pretty much stayed on the main quest line as all the side stuff i happened to see was too high. Havent crafted or made alchemy bc i havent really found anything to do in that regard.
Am i just really bad at RpGs? Im very frustrated as ive put a lot of effort into trying to wrap my head around this game but just slammed into this wall hard.

What? That doesn't answer my question at all. If I have a sword in my inventory, and in its info panel, it is listed as worth $400.. Why does no Merchant offer more than say $220? Surely if its physically impossible to sell it for the high amount, the $220 is what it should be listed as in your inventory.

I played this part for the time earlier. Set the difficulty down to easiest and meditate before you go Into the golem room. I beat him and the stupid knight like that.

Is money supposed to be extremely limited? I just got to Novigrad and exchanged currency, so I'm set for a bit, but everything in the game is super expensive and you get almost nothing for selling your stuff.
Not to mention that pretty much everything you do in this game costs money since you're going to have to repair your gear. It's unavoidable.
I can't even craft gear because they charge you to dismantle items so you can craft gear. Everything in this game seems like a gouge.
I'm surprised making potions and learning new skills are free.

Loot more. Fixing your gear by the tools you loot is much cheaper. Going to a shop is very expensive.

That's how much you'd have to spend on buying the item.
Only in the beginning. When you reach Novigrad (or the level ~16) you will start to see a shift. While you were at first scraping for money, you'll soon develop massive riches. I soon had more money than I knew what to do with. In end game I was somewhere between 30k and 40k, and that was after having spent a lot of money too. Quests will start giving you more money, and horse races pay well too, but loot is where the real money is at. Going through one single cave or doing one single quest can net you a thousand, easily.

very late reply but where in the story would it fit exactly ? after finding Cirri ?
Got to the part where I'm
am I close to being done with the game?
failed 3 quests so far
going to find Ciri on the island of mists
am I close to being done with the game?
failed 3 quests so far
the defending the scavengers, the associated quest where you'll get a pass for helping, and recruiting keira to fight the hunt because, you know, I didn't know not fighting her was an option way back then
You've actually got about a third to go. Maybe a bit less, but quite a bit left. Post finding Ciri is probably my favorite part of the game.
Noted, thank you.
I need that Axii tho because Im at an sidequest and I cant mind trick the person to give me some info on a witch Im looking for so I just had to switch sidequest and went after a god damn werewolf lol, gotta love the folklore this game has.
