    Inventory needs more tabs. The "Usable items" one is a clusterfuck, needs separate tab for witcher items and one for readable stuff.

    He tasted blood in his mouth. The taste changed him subconsciously.
    His rosy cheeks gave away to paleness.. and hunger. Hunger - thought, felt.
    Stopped eating, drinking. Stopped breathing...
    He looked upon himself in a mirror. He was no longer himself. He didn't look like anything he knew.

    The UI menus are generally a disaster, not just the inventory. The game is great, but it is mindblowing how could CDPR fuck the UI up on this magnitude.

    Please shut the fuck up about Gothic. Even CD Projekt mentioned it as a source of inspiration.

    Inventory is fine, certainly better than TW2. Just needs more tabs, and there's the wasted space at the bottom left where tooltips go when you use a pad which could be modded to enlarge the inventory grid. And the crafting window is a mess ofc, should replace the list with a grid and split the ingredients into several sections.

    Depends on the mob.

    Lvl18 I've killed a Fiend lvl 22 and then I went for a Basilisk(?) lvl 24 -> I did 1000+ dmg and I did not put a dent on it. Gave up.

    The same with fighting dwarfs on lvl 23. I cannot hurt them with anything: sword, bombs, igni, you name it.

    Its the game. It simply is fucking excellent. It is so good that even the gamer pedant of the grinch, the standard codexian, will be forced to like it.

    That's how you incoporate a song into your game, Bioware.

    Also, it's pretty good.

    English version, worse, unsurprisingly.

    Haha, I love how you can find Letho just doing some second-hand quest, that's pretty clever writing. It looked a bit too "generic" of a quest, but still didn't really expect it.

    I don't think they really "resolved" the problem insofar as the side-dodge has replaced the utility of rolling in 2 and comes with no attached penalty. You can safely say that rolling is no longer a dominant strategy, but that's because they replaced it with a new dominant strategy with no downside.

    Though worth mentioning that I didn't really consider roll-spam (and now dodge-spam) as inherently crippling problems with the game like some people, they are just core gameplay tenets. If they didn't exist, the combat would have to be radically different.

    Yep, I noticed that too. I don't really care either way, because dodging is a more effective move, rolling puts you into a bigger danger because many enemies jumps after you with a hit. I only roll if I fucked up big time and I am surrounded.

    Just did that quest today. Personally, I found the twist, if you want to call it that way, to be somewhat bullshit.

    It's the weirdest thing, too, because Oils automatically sort to the top of the useable list. Why wouldn't witchers potions act the same way?

    That's CDPR's favorite type of twist.

    "There are two outcomes to this quest! Both fuck you over uniquely. Isn't this fun? :')"

    Honestly I don't even think that sort of writing is bad, it resonates with how reality works, no matter what you do you have regrets, but I think it would work better with a fully linear game where you don't have choices.

    It wasn't the outcome, but the fact that
    Show Spoiler
    It was so fucking obvious that the priest was not responsible for the murders that it was extremely stupid for the game to end the quest if you kill the fucker and act as if everything is cool. You don't need any witcher senses to see that there is something wrong about the whole setup while investigating the murders.

    Yeha, we've known this for a long time since they released a trailer. Geralt sounds older than fucking Vesemir.

    Meh. For me the song was average. I cried more when I saw Baron holding his child and giving her a name.
