Also that killing monsters trailer was hype
In the first thread there were links to two videos summarizing the events of the first two games. It was more than enough for me.
The game also does explain stuff that feels more catered towards people new to the series.

Yeah, I've seen it like ten times ;b
Don't care that GAF hates them; I love CG trailers.

Sorry if this was already answered. But is this part of the Expansion pass? That is what I want to assume.Repost for new page,

I've been neglecting contracts so I did a few of them yesterday.
There's more variety than you'd expect from this kind of quest, sometimes you can even solve the problem without fighting.
The fact that sometimes the monsters have witcher gear diagrams in their lairs is also a nice bonus.
Speaking of which, treasure hunts really force you to explore the world, love doing them.

Yes, both expansions are included.

Yes, it is. Heart of Stone comes out in October, It will add another 10 hours of gameplay.
To be honest, I don't think there is any official word from the developper about what is Act 1 and what is Act 2, etc. It's just how fans decided to label story segments.
"Act 1" is a lot bigger than the other 2. To the point where we might as well call "Search Ciri in Velen" = Act 1, "Search Ciri in Novigrad" = Act 2 and "Search Ciri in Skellige" = Act 3. and the other parts as Act 4 and 5.
But i suppose, since you can complete the search for Ciri parts in different order, that's the only reason players aren't labeling it like that.

Looks very tempting.

Forgive me, Shani! You were in the war a-and we all thought you were dead! I didn't know! These women mean nothing to me!

If people encountered it for higher level quests, then fair enough.

Oh okay, that makes sense -- especially as Skellige seems to be the final destination in the game right?
I'm enjoying it a lot, I got bored of Novigrad after spending so long there, so I headed to Skellige and was part worried, and part happy that i'm closer to the finishing line.

Yeah I'm just a little bit past where you are, and I'm like, pretty sure most games finish up here.
Apparently not. :0
Wow, I was about to romance Triss, but if Shani is present in this DLC, I will wait for her. #TeamShaniRepost for new page,

Is there a mod which sorts all your quests by distance from current location?
One thing I am HATING with this game is the sense of hopping from A to B to C to D, it's just a sprawling mess at the moment.

No, the acts have been confirmed by the developers iirc. It's from the official guide.
Well... "final", I guess... you'll still go between Velen, Skellige and (don't read if you haven't finish searching for Ciri)

Why did the drowner set on fire? Holy fuck I will be upgrading Yarden sign as thats OP and amazing. I been prioritising Quen and Igni.

I would assume that his sword did that, not the Yrden sign.
Chance to fire and bleed and increased attack power are the best enhancements to swords imo.

Member
My sword has a 5% burn chance. Yrden only slows the enemy down, but yes, it's very useful.
Also, it's hard to see, but the Drowner got frozen with the first sword strike

Did the Ciri alternative costume get taken down for some reason? I successfully downloaded and installed it using this link earlier (haven't looked at it yet though), but this link now seems to be broken and searching the Playstation Store returns nothing:

There was something wrong with that DLC, so CDPR removed it and will be releasing it later.

I wonder what the other patch changes are considering some of those question marks on the map are bugged as well.
Dealing with this bug that Skellige's Coronation quest seems to trigger. The music that plays during the ceremony doesn't stop playing across all of Skellige, even when the fighting starts, unless you leave Skellige altogether. Problem is that even if you load a save in Skellige afterwards, the glitch crops right back up; that music persists.
I do have a save from before King's Gambit, but I really don't want to lose all that progress.

Man. I'm never buying a game like this at launch ever again. I guess it's good I'm only 50% through(Ugly Baby is 50%?). These patches are good stuff. It's going to be hard but you know Fallout 4 is going to be fucked so it's probably good to wait on that as well. (Even though I wish it was obsidian and it would be even more buggy.).
I love them. Apparently the best armor in the game.

Are they? I haven't looked up their stats yet. Plan to get it next time I play the game. I seriously doubt it's even better than feline gear, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
I could be completely wrong but enhanced is better than my enhanced feline
I guess it all comes down to how you play. Wolf is better for sign/sword build which is what I play like. Feline is for faster movement.
Now I'm not hearing any music after reloading a save in White Orchard. :/
I'll wait and see if this week's patch rectifies this, but I'm going to leave that save in Spikeroog I did before King's Gambit around, just in case.
[EDIT] - ... Nevermind. Just gonna delete the others. I'll do it over.

For those interested, here's full game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz's Gamelab 2015 panel on how to make The Witcher 3 narrative. Title is "Storytelling as a tool for making open world games", video is in English:

Really interesting comments and techniques. Tell me if you think it's thread-worthy.

Feline is not just "faster movement". It raises your attack power through the roof. Feline gear is very offense and makes you deal enormous amounts of damage, especially since almost every attack you do is a critical hit. Again though I haven't seen stats for Wolf, so maybe it has some good stuff too.

Increased Sign Intensity and Attack Power is one of the reasons why people prefer the Wolf Armor.

Thanks for the link. Konrad is awesome, though I wish his english was better
For some reason the video is stuttering quite unpleasantly, is it my browser ?
Wolf is definitely the best armor (with cool little missions uncovering the diagrams as well). And considering that Geralt is from The Wolf School of Witchers, it's the most appropriate armor as well.
Subjectively, when fully upgraded to Masterclass, I think it's the best looking armor in the game too.

Shiiiet! How can I get that armor?
Anw, this game is priceless lol:

You need to download the Wolf School Armour DLC, then complete the Treasure Hunts like the rest of the armour sets. You'll need to have access to Kaer Morhen to complete the set.
That armor is very cool looking, too bad my quest is bugged so I can't upgrade it or even make it
You do know you don't need the quest to find the diagrams right?

Midriff armour *groan*
Ciri is already so lightly equipped that an armour outfit would appropriately fit the alternate look.

Enhanced Feline armor is the best looking thing in the game. Turtleneck>Everything else.
Then they fuck it up with the Masterclass upgrade cause it just looks like generic armor.
