Well if you do, your enjoyment of the games will be immeasurably elevated. But it is not strictly necessary, since the games explain most stuff themselves.

Normal quen is really good in that fight. Also,
I wore the feline armor set which I believe gives you better dodge distance (I think?). He kicked my ass a good 10-15 times as well until I just stuck with Quen and dodged. Patience is key in the second phase of the fight. You just have to learn his movement and swings. Also, twirl helped as well.
I have so many games I was anxious to play, but so much witcher left 
I'm almost level 26 which means I can use my sword again soon. Also I need some new light armor. I've been rocking my current get up too long. Wish I could find a sweet light get up. Anyone have recommendations?

Well the Cat gear is the best light armor you can find. Get whatever is one step above what you have now.

I'm level 21 and about to start Ugly Baby. I'm guessing I'm around the halfway point? I'm not sure if I should continue going forward with story cause I greyed out the main quest quest lines or if I should keep trying to knock off all other quests that are grey or green in case I reach a point of no return.
I'm currently rocking the feline set but I'm kinda getting tired of it. I'm glad though that caches and treasures are finally starting to get close to that sets specs so I can use new stuff.
Also I'm pretty shocked with myself that I loaded a 5 hour old save to redo my romance choice after The Last Wish quest. I was pretty sure I was going with
after 1 and 2 and how I felt through those games but seeing the whole picture and in the Last Wish
.

Yen simply wanted to undo the spell that binds them to see if she truly loved Geralt whereas Triss from the start resigned to not being with Geralt and wanted to save the Mages. I actually started to see deep down Yen and Geralt (and Ciri) were a family
I'm mainly interested in aesthetics. How does the cat stuff look?

Amazing. In terms of aesthetics, for most people it's a battle between Bear, Cat and Wolf gear. Cat and Wolf are also usually considered to have the best stats. All three look great imo. Cat is the only light gear.
Mastercrafted Feline Armor
Mastercrafted Wolf Armor
These two are the best armor for me.

The Cat armor is way too thin for my taste. I absolutely love the Bear and Wolf armor, though.

I went with the Feline armour in my first playthrough. Suited my fast playstyle in combat but I think I'll try a different one for my NG+ playthrough.
Those both look delicious. Seems I need to open my treasure hunt tab in quests and get to work.

Be prepared to scavenge and steal for crafting materials, by the time I was on my last couple sets of armor I had resorted to slingin' fisstech on the streets of Novigrad just to buy a couple Dimeritium Ingots.

I'm currently level 25 on my Death March completionist run doing level 18 quests in Enhanced Feline Gear. I no longer need to bother with potions or signs for the most part, I can pretty much facetank everything I'm coming up against. I'm kind of hoping the game catches up to me at some point because I way outlevel everything I'm coming up against.

Can someone please clarify if the PS4 version has been patched to 1.08 yet?

I checked the game for any new updates about an hour ago and nothing new [I'm currently on version 1.07].

The only DLC left is NG+ and they said it'd take a while. Be patient.
I've been told this multiple times but when going back there, there's nothing to interact with but a candle.

No it has not. No ETA for 1.08 had been announced.

Weird. Will probably be fixed in the future.
You don't need every card; you need one of each (so every unique card). They shouldn't lower that requirement, they should just ensure that none are possible to miss.

The heck is probably NOT a number , but a series of IF conditions. ( you need every card , not a numbers of cards )

That would be poor programming. It most definitely is a number, but not a number of all cards, rather a number of unique cards. Each unique card probably has a quantity variable, which is used to see how many of each card the player has.

Went out exploring Skellige in a shirt and plain trousers. Got my ass handed to me by a level 48 Archgriffin :lol.
The score from the Beautiful World of the Witcher trailer also is missing. Don't remember hearing it in-game either.

Just finished it on death march, extremely close to lvl
. Felt like being part of a movie until the last minute...masterpiece.

Try to find merchants who give you the option to play with them. You'll earn cards from them sometimes after beating them. Also do the early Gwent sidequests. You'll start building a badass deck after beating some of your opponents.

Shit, the high-stakes Gwent tourney is hard as fuk. Can't beat round one. Musta reloaded about 10 times. He keeps unloading spy cards on me and starts round two with about 12 cards.
Also fuk this game's load times!

I'm trying to beat the merchants but can't win. I don't think I have enough special cards.

Wolf looks WAY better in motion than on pictures. IT's my absolute favourite, too bad is hidden in a zone unreachable for quite a while. Cat is ninja-Geralt.
Also, Undvik armor is really beautiful:

Yes. They only need crafting one time and will be replenished after meditation using available alcohol.

I'm having the same problem. I don't want to keep reloading it, but I saw there's an achievement for winning the tournament, which I would like to get.
The first opponent is frustratingly hard.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Did you actually do all the gwent quests beforehand? If you don't have the best deck possible you will absolutely lose.
Just do less of the secondary quests.
I just finished Act 1, might be the longest Act 1 I've ever played.... is Act 2 and Act 3 more or less the same length?
I plan to do some of the secondary quests I haven't done yet before starting Act 2.
Aside from a few technical issues, like combat and general control, this game is a masterpiece... depending on how it finishes, I suspect it has a chance to be my favourite game of all time. Certainly in the Top 5 for now unless it derails horribly.

I would say acts two and three combined equal the time frame of act 1.

Just got to Velen and the game has its hooks in me. The writing/quests are awesome, like figuring out the backstory of some lord I haven't met and what led him to become a murderous drunk based on dialogue from multiple quests, of which some of both the dialogue and quests were totally optional, was incredible. I couldn't believe how intertwined and fleshed out they made it...and not only that but the politics and character motivations are well thought out and morally ambiguous a lot of the time. Combat, while definitely a bit loose and too magnetic, is pretty satisfying, especially when you cleave dudes in half or lop off their heads. The griffin fight was really fun too. I never mess around with bullshit mini games in RPGs but holy shit even Gwent is fun as hell!
Most of my issues at this point are purely technical; roach controls kinda iffy, actually so does Geralt to an extent, button prompts can be finicky, some frame rate issues, etc. but they pale in comparison to everything the game is doing right. I can't believe I got Bloodborne, this, and shortly MGS V all in the same year. Incredible stuff.
