Would love to hear CDPR's response to this.
Unfortunately... there isnt any :/
To be fair, I have noticed at least one improvement since updating to 1.07 on PS4.
On 1.05, whenever I had to go to Hattori, I would fast travel to the Glory Gate in Novigrad and sprint all the way to him. As I ran, characters would be partially spawning inn around me, and when I got to Hattori, he either wouldn't be loaded in properly, or the "Talk" icon wouldn't be over his head, forcing me to either meditate or walk around a bit more and wait for him to load.
I tested the same thing multiple times on 1.07 (fast travel to the Glory Gate, sprint to Hattori), and I have had no problems. Everything is loaded, and I can instantly talk to him.

How is the framerate for you in 1.07? You notice a lot of dips in Novigrad? Especially during rain or at night close to torches? (I have the same issue with Hattori not loading in 1.05)
I haven't noticed any significant changes either way. I'll test it more later, though.

Maybe a silly question, but I can not for the life of me find where you need to enable the new "New Finisher Animations", I can see it listed in the Glossary section [PS4] and it states I need to turn it on in the game options but can not find it, the nearest I have seen is the option to have battle finishing enabled.
Anyone know where it is located?

Why is it so hard to craft new weapons/armour?
I feel like I'm running around all over the place just to get myself a slightly better chest piece. Meanwhile, my armour and weapons are falling apart.

Haven't checked but probably in the DLC section in the options from the main menu (not in-game).
No mention of crafting recipes is a bit worrisome... I have so many for items above lvl 35 that I can't even use, it would suck to lose them with NG+ when I will actually reach lvl 43 or whatever is required.

Thanks Aangster, that's brilliant. Do you know what the source is?
Kinda defeats the purpose of the achievement. But ok, it wasn't that hard to get in the first place.

I'll be doing my NG+ on Death March then.

Me too.
I wonder which items actually carry over then, i.e. what's left after those exclusions.

Got back into this, game's writing is brilliant. Still haven't met triss, or the baron, the ladies of the woods, or travelled to Skellige. Side quests man. Side quests.

Personally I hope it's fixed before NG+ comes out otherwise I'll be waiting around for it to be fixed before starting it. I have all the Gwent cards now. I like Gwent but I don't particularly want to collect all the cards again.

I dare anyone to name a scarier enemy in this game than a Leshen. I can not stand coming across these guys in the forests. It's like the game's version of Slenderman.

Yep. Either way, that jerk takes control.
In the second scenario he does somewhat. It's never played up and I only found it referenced once.

I'm at the end of my rope, the game is crashing constantly now, can't play.
Here's my story:
- Game's crashes have been on average once every 8 hours or so
- Now that I'm in the middle of the quests in Novigrad, the game's crashes are out of control, can't play for 15 mins without crashing to desktop
- Crashes take me to desktop, and audio cuts out. Have to restart PC just to get audio working again (restarting receiver does nothing)
- No rhyme or reason to the crashes (during a fight, while idle in the open world, in a cutscene....etc)
Specs:
i7 4790 (stock)
GTX 980 (stock)
Windows 7 Ultimate
I'm thinking of starting a thread since I don't see as many stability complaints as before, but I'll see if I can get help here first.

I'm trying to make sense of this post but can't. Enemies have their own respective level, you know this, yeah? So the golem you faced when you were level 30 could be lower level, or you're just stronger than you were then. Obviously they get harder on harder difficulties too.
I know enemies have their own levels but I'm talking particularly about bosses because they aren't presented with a level.

Bosses have a fixed level and scale with the difficulty, same as regular enemies, I'm 99% sure.
This was a cool little detail! I feel better about my choice at The Whispering Hillock now.
This is just after the quest Broken Flowers:
This is just after the quest Broken Flowers:
Turns out the orphans you save from being eaten by the crones don't just disappear. They end up at Marabella's school in Novigrad. I noticed some kids there late at night and their names looked familiar. So I looked around inside and found a note about the orphans mysteriously showing up at the school late one night. They don't seem to remember you though.
Cool. Sorry, I'm just a bit confused about how NG+ works with quest levels is all.

That is so cool.
Only level 11 and just beat
which was awesome. I heard thats where the game really starts to take off. I got sidetracked after and did a bunch of side quests. Got so many its overwhelming right now. Might just do the ones that sound interesting from now on though. Anyone else do that?

Same. Beat the game too and reached level 35 and got no achievements (Steam).
What a fantastic game.
*My Ending Spoilers*
Crach ... died a pretty hard death. Eredin didn't get served as hard as Imlerith did, which was kind of disappointing. I wanted Geralt to eviscerate that fool. I ALMOST killed Avallac'h, but I doubted his resolve as an evil genius TBH. Nilfgaard won, not suprisingly, since Radovid died. Cerys did good for Skellige, which I was very happy with. Ciri's going to do well as Empress, the begnning of a new story there, the Empress-Witcher. Finally, Yen and Geralt are free to be lazy lovebirds. Excellent. 10/10.
171 hours fam. Truly an excellent journey. Still have a LOT of exploration to do in Skellige. BUT GIVE ME THE DAMN ACHIEVEMENTS! -_-
Ah, good thing this was my second run through the game. :x
Once NG+ is available, I'll get the Even Odds trophy and Platinum this thing. I kind of wish I had gone for the

I'm running an Alchemy build on Death March and I'm wondering what the best way is to get all the alchemy recipes in the game? Do I have to keep doing question marks on the map and hope that the recipes drop? Or is there a better way to go about getting recipes for decoctions / potions / bombs / oils?
Buy whatever recipes you can from Herbalists, find the rest during quests and points of interest around the world.
... Though, I did all of that during my second run through the game, and still couldn't get all of my bombs/potions/oils to Superior. Not sure if the game's just designed that way, or if I ran into a bug brought on by one of the patches, or what. :I

I just platinumed the game a few minutes ago on PS4 on 1.07. The last trophy I got was "Walked the Path" for finishing the game on Death March, so I guess PS4 players can breathe a sigh of relief since that's clearly not one of the bugged trophies.
In terms of endings:
In my first playthrough (on Blood and Broken Bones), I got the
ending. At the time I felt it was a proper, fitting ending for this great series. However, this time through I got the
ending. This honestly feels like the true ending, if there is such a thing. The epilogue is quite extended, the writing is top notch, and its bittersweet nature just feels like the logical way the series should end.
Anyway, that's just my two cents. What are other people's thoughts on the endings?

Ciri as an Empress just feels right. She has her father's head for politics and Geralt's simple, human decency. Can't ask for more than that in a ruler. Coincidentally, my play-through saw two women rise to power, Cerys and Cirilla.
