What a tease. I have wondered if they originally planned the NG+ as a future patch and since all the expectation and feedback they decided to make it the final DLC hence the recent single DLC per week releases to extend development/testing.
Is this on consoles? As I didn't experience any text size change on the PC version post-patch.

It's been in the referenced in the config files from the start. But they probably needed as much time as possible to tune it. I imagine if it still wasn't going to be ready they would have come up with some other DLC and held off to release it another time.

I'm confused.
After putting over 70 hours into the game I still hadn't met Letho so I checked where he's supposed to be and it turns out the game isn't acknowledging he's alive.
I'm positive that he's alive in the TW2 save I imported.
I considered the possibility that the save import didn't work but Geralt has the tattoo from getting drunk with the blue stripes.
This is really weird. The way the game handles save importing is actually pretty shitty, it should give you info regarding the choices in the save you're using but there's no way to check. I'm sure Letho should be there though.

Unless you do a certain side quest you can miss him.

I completed the quest ages ago.

When you did that quest it gave you the wraiths? If it did, then as far as the game is concerned Letho is dead.

Glad to see I was wrong about NG+, and it looks like they will be taking some time to get the balance right. I imagine they need to get 1.08 out the door first to fix all the quests that 1.07 broke.
TL;DR My save file is ready

I hope I can do a new game plus on the hardest difficulty for the achievement. I switched to the hardest difficulty halfway through my last play through... and I want that achievement but I really don't feel like starting a new game from scratch.

If they made a system for properly scaling items and enemies to your level, then it wouldn't imagine it would be as much work as creating two versions of the game or DLC.

I'm just worried about skills in new game plus now. The limit as of now is that you can only use 12 skills at a time, so more points means very little. You could do another 100 hour playthrough with zero changes to your build, so the sense of leveling up and getting stronger would be gone. Do you think they'd add more slots? 15? 18? I guess that could work if the difficulty is a good deal higher to balance that.

Yeah that's a good question, maybe if not more active skill slots, they could add changeable skill sets, like on the fly you can switch between a heavy build or a light build.

This game is officially my Game of the year.

That could be neat. My last playthrough was a mix of signs and fast attack skills. I respecced a few times leaning towards one or the other.
Yeah I hope they do that. I keep forgetting about the mind control skill as I unequip it when in combat.

How much longer do I have in Novigrad, or alternatively when does the questline get good? I got the vault key back and am currently looking for cleaver. This whole questline has felt like a boring talking simulator broken up by occasional shitty indoor combat encounters.

Nevermind. Seems you have to do them in succession; had to do a lot of fast traveling to White Orchard and back to Devil's Pit.
Now, I only have Overkill, Master Marksman, Even Odds, Ran the Gauntlet, and Walked the Path to unlock in order to Platinum this game... Unfortunately, I'm going to have to start a new game(or wait for NG+, yay) to get Even Odds.
Also:
I've exhausted every point of interest in the game. I think the only place I haven't looked around in is the Berserker's lair in Skellige, and I doubt any of those diagrams are to be found there.
Hope that's just a bug. Would suck if the recipes for these items were kind of randomized.

Fuck the Master Marksman trophy.

I bought some Precision Bolts. I'm unsure as to how much it helped. In any case, I have the trophy now. It took me hours of grinding in the Devil's Pit.
Only two remain, one of which is Card Collector, which I would have were it not for the patch that broke it. :/

Question, is there as specific level differential for your actual level in regards to the Mission level/enemies level?, in other words if Im level 12, what is the highest leveled mission and enemy I can do without been 2 or 3 shot by the enemies in said mission? I have some side quests and contracts that Im leveled like 4 or 5 levels bellow that I would want to do.

Just finished the game. Kind of meh on one of my choices, because the quest where I could have made a difference suddenly got blocked when I went past a point of no return.
They could've communicated this a bit better. As long as it's
though, I'm not going to replay it. Slightly disappointing. However, the last quarter of the game was incredibly epic, so I'm not complaining too much.
Now off to read some Ciri fanfiction.
Radovid became the ruler in the north and was of course a tyrant.
just an ending montage

If you are at most five levels under the recommended level and the mission is displayed in green, you should be good.
Thank you!

That quest is broken for everybody in 1.07.
Welp. Thanks.

I suppose you guys know to do it at Devil's Pit, making use of the invisible wall at the gate, and also that the screen shakes when you get a headshot, right? Axii (primary, NOT secondary obviously) and the skill that slows down time when you aim the crossbow are must haves.
One other thing I found incredibly useful that I didn't see mentioned anywhere else: the headshot hit detection is screwy because of the camera angle vs the fact that you hold the crossbow a fair way to the left of centre and out in front of you. The bolt travels from the tip of the crossbow towards the crosshairs, so even if you have it perfectly on their noggin it will often hit their right shoulder (their left side as you face them) as it travels along that path.
The way to vastly increase your chances of a headshot is to use primary Axii: it will make the enemy bend forward (as if they're going to puke). At that point, if you circle around to your right (so that you're off to the enemy's left side from their perspective), if you then target their head there is nothing for the bolt to hit on the way to the enemy apart from their head (because of the way they're leaning forward). Does that make sense? I can capture some gameplay of this if that helps. I found it helped a lot and really sped up the process.

Got my last Gwent card (it was the Wyvern card) from the Priest of the Eternal Fire in northern Novigrad and as expected, no trophy. Hopefully they fix it in the next patch.
GAF I am on the fence here.... I am still in 1.05 (PS4) and havent updated to 1.07 due to the performance downgrade in terms of framerate, introduced with the latest patch.
Besides DF's face off, are there no other comparisons between 1.05 and 1.07 builds? DF was kinda disheartening about how significant the hit in framerate was. But I want to see more, because it might be rare, but DF have effed up in the past.
Would love to hear opinions from people who are sensitive to framerate issues as I am. Is it that bad with 1.07? Is stuttering increased? (was almost eliminated with 1.05).

I thought it was only the XBone version that saw a performance decrease with 1.07, and that the issue with the PS4 version was that there was zero improvement after they'd claimed that there would be. The main issues with 1.07 are broken quests and certain major trophies that no longer work.
