The Witcher 3 Pre-Expansion Thread

PRO TIP.

If you have problem with inventory space you can leave things on ground. They will stay there forever. This also means that if you killed some monster its remains will be there after few hours of gameplay.

Knowing how these things go, if you keep leaving shit laying around it will probably cause save bloat/longer loading/save corruption/etc.

holy shit those controls... the autorun after few steps is giving me seizures, it's much worse than faggot age 3.

Ctrl toggles autorun on/off (DAI only enabled walk/run toggle a couple of months after release in a patch btw)

While running around Skellige I always stumbled upon a melody that seemed very familiar.

Overall the game was great, 10/10 GOTY all years.

Hated the movement system though.

It is widely known that witcher used public music samples.

Compare Homm IV to Warlords Battlecry, you will hear the same.

The Nexus Witcher 3 page is now live. The adjustable weight mod looks good. All the crafting materials start to add up.

I was hoping the "adjustable weight" mod allowed us to make Geralt fat. Was dissapointed.

Most armor takes care of that.

Alchemy system is easily the worst (and most useless) it has ever been.

so men

barring the terrible ui/controls, this gaem is actually kinda cool

I'll just leave this here:

Not unexpected at all, of course.

Turns out it is bullshit, the performance is more or less the same.

You're comparing the difference in Titan X performance, you should be comparing how patches affect new gen nvidia cards vs how they affect old gen nvidia cards.

Oddly i didn't have my driver updated (GTX 970) and i got a weird light flicker outdoors, update fixed it.

That is the original Titan (Kepler).

Good to see this. Witcher 2 was almost unplayable without the no-weight mod.

guys, if you hit jump before you hit the ground geralt rolls absorbing fall damage

I suggest everyone read this article by Durante to improve performance in W3: http://www.pcgamer.com/durantes-witcher-3-analysis-the-alchemy-of-smoothness/#page-1

Turning off vsync, frame limiter, and enabling borderless windowed mode made gameplay a lot smoother on my 290. Also, did anyone notice how bad the vegetation looks this time around? It looked much better in W2. They probably downgraded it because of consoles.

And others I'm sure I missed.

You have all been summoned here to bear witness to the atrocities you heap upon the once glorious and prestigious e-magazine that is RPG Codex. Your combined efforts and love of popamole decline have made Tit Witcher 3 more anticipated, played, and talked about game then any of the recent incline old school titles that have been coming out in the last few years.

DarkUnderlord how did it come to this? Traitors. All of them.

I am honoured to be in such good company.

A tear came to my eye as I read that list. Bruthas and sistas, the lot of them.

don't worry, it doesn't last. as soon as you get accustomed to the controls, you start to realize the itemization sucks, character advancement sucks, the fucking main story fucking sucks. fucking alpha male, fucking killer of undead and dragons, and other monsters and wolves, geralt will let some guy from court shave his fucking beard because of reasons... i believe he secretly wants to be a woman.

The griffon fight was legit hard on Death March, I had to pussy out and lower difficulty, I'm sorry men.
I'm starting to like gwent a lot more now that I understand the subtleties behind it.

Also, now I'm Velen and the world looks legit HUGE. I think they nailed the war-devasted look of the area, good stuff.

>playing gwent
>press "Give up game"
>game crashes
Now that's how you give up.

I didn't think the griffon fight was hard at all on the highest difficulty, pretty much the same as other fights, dodge instead of rolling and only take 100% safe swings, no more than two since there is no stunlock or the equivalent of poise in this game. It wasn't braindead easy, but certainly not difficult.

 

[WhiteGuts]

Figuring out the tactic is the easy part. But you don't do enough damage, so the temptation was always there to land as many blows as possible. Also, I hated the fact that Aarding it resets it in a standard position when you tried to carefully position yourself behind it to backstab it, that was dumb.

Griphon is easy but annoying, dividing the boss fights to stages is something I didn't like. Having to chase the monster and repeat the same fight twice seemed like they dragged it pointlessly.
The detective work you do is a good idea but the constant usage of witcher senses loses it's novelty after the first hours of gameplay.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Holy smokes, that talk with the Baron... and of course everything went over the SJW heads.

 

[Quatlo]

Baron is a fucking bro, completely relatable and likeable character. Guy has seen some shit during the wars so obviously he is damaged as fuck, I really like him.
