The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[nutcrackr]

Why do you guys always pick on kac so much? seriously? Stop being arseholes.

I'm sorry

KAC, when you open the map just click on "world map" that will show you white orchard. Keep in mind that the game gets easier later so it's not essential to get all the places of power.

[KAC]

Ok thanks. Did not notice the world map button earlier.

Custom DS4Windows profile for the game really helps make the game more playable on PS4.

[Dungeoncrawler]

My SLi 980 ti is on its way. I play on PS4 due to convenience.

thinking about trading in my titans for a pair. would appreciate some feedback once u get them going

[Mangler]

Why not just go single gpu?

Seems to me that you've been having issues with SLI for years, so why not just enjoy the smoothness of a single fast gpu?

[Arioch]

Can't wait to get back home next weekend so I can play again. Gonna try it in 3D since I am one of those weirdos that still likes it.

You know I will have a remorse thread up there. . This time I will also do scaling tests and possibly also 4K if time permits.

[t3hl33td4rg0n]

This game is definitely in my top 3 of all time!


Level 34.
Every contract and secondary quest I could find finished.
A couple dozen ?'s left, mostly on Skellige.
150 Hours playtime so far.
I suspect I have a couple hours left at the most.

[nutcrackr]

I'm still going at over 90hrs now, but I'm closing in on story end. Bit surprised how much content was after the point of no return. Most side quests were still doable as well and even did exploring after a few story missions. The slow burn on this game is unlike anything else. There is little doubt I will be playing the expansions.

Roach is so **** to control compared to the Batmobile though. He just stops for no reason.

[RSViper]

Of you guys who've finished, who's going to be giving it a second play through?

I find myself not really feeling the need to play through it again. I don't think there's a huge enough difference in the main story lines to really affect that much change. There are a few key decisions, but for the most part the story except for some ending elements seems mostly the same.

[Mangler]

I feel that the game is too long for a second playthrough, at least in the immediate future.

[Meteor_of_War]

Seconded. One would have to have a serious amount of free time on hand for successive playthoughs.

Size of this game is down right insane.

Ya ill wait 6mths at least, might see some decent mods by then

[theshadowcult]

i will second play throuh when the first and then again when the second expansion come out

Upcoming Patch 1.07 notes:

• A new, alternative (optional) movement response mode for Geralt.
• A player stash for storing items, available in various locations throughout the game. Stash locations are marked on the player's map.
• Crafting and alchemy components no longer add to the overall inventory weight.
• Books are now placed in a dedicated tab in the Inventory and books that have already been read are properly grayed out.
• Multiple sorting options are now available in the Inventory.
• Alchemy formulas and crafting diagrams can be "pinned", meaning all components and ingredients required to make them will be conveniently marked in the Shop panel.
• Dozens of fixes for quest related issues, both major and minor.
• A few performance enhancements, including the optimization of FX, scenes and general gameplay.
• Various improvements to horse behavior.

Curious about the alternative movement response mode. Overall seems like a great patch, hope its released soon.

[Mangler]

Those are some really good changes, the pack rat in me appreciates the player stash.

[Meteor_of_War]

Curious about the alternative movement response mode.

Also curious about that. Hopefully it makes a noticeable improvement.

[MNB4800]

This patch fixes a lot of annoyances with the inventory and books. Love it!

[Higgy10]

ya looks like some good changes

[Cyko]

Sweet. Now I can store all those mastercrafted witcher armor's I have. Push it out nao!

[|MaguS|]

Nice. New patch might actually get me back into the game. Kinda gave up on it because of the BS movement and inventory system.

Same here but I actually gave up on it to install Win 10 and put it through its paces. Don't feel like reloading my apps over and over to get the games running again since the builds are coming fast and furious now!

And now the game is perfect.

[nutcrackr]

lol talk about irony. I finished the game last night, just before patch notes that implement most of the fixes I was hoping for.

Can't complain, the game was awesome.

Edit: Shani is coming in the first expansion. Get your sex card collection ready.

[Crawdaddy79]

And now the game is perfect.

I'm still waiting for an option that shows the inventory in list format so I don't have to hover over every mother****ing potion in the mother****ing pile of potions to find my goddamned ____________ potion that I know I have.

Otherwise, sweet game.

You mean like in Witcher 2 that so many PC Gamers complained about stating having a grid based inventory is the PC gaming way to do it? So what did CD Projekt do? They gave what the people wanted

But I agree, list system is much better than a grid system.

[t3hl33td4rg0n]

Gris system is fine when you have a dozen or two items in a single grid, like say Diablo or Path of Exile.

It could work for Witcher 3 if things were categorized better, like books, letters potions, oils, bombs, runestones, sigils, and concoctions were sorted properly and each given their own category.

As for letters, we need a checkmark or something to indicate whether a letter/book was read.

We also need a "recipe/diagram" already known when browsing a merchants inventory. I'm pretty sure I've wasted a fair amount of money buying the same recipes more than once

[dreamwalker]

So I just started playing this, I've read the first two books, The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, have a question about story for those of you who are familiar with them.

In the book, Ciris father is killed out at sea with her mother Pavetta so she is raised by Calanthe her grandmother. Now I come to find out in the game her father is alive and is the Emperor of the Nilfgaard. Was this revealed in one of the later books? If her father was alive this entire time, where was he when Ciri was growing up? (ie when Geralt finds her wandering the woods etc)

[nutcrackr]

In regards to the story in books and game. Best to think of the games as an adaptation of the world and characters, it is not canon.

i don't think ciri is the blood daughter of the emperor, i think she was adopted when she was orphaned. It's why the emp doesnt give a crap about her in the game, he just needs her to be an heir.

Not sure if this is correct given what I've read -- the Emperor is actually Duny, who married Pavetta.. I think this describes it well:

http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Emhyr_var_Emreis

So from what I can tell, he wasn't killed, only Pavetta was killed and Calanthe hid the fact from Ciri that her father was still alive.

And now the game is perfect.

[ThirdEye]

I remember it was said the devs would release a graphics tweaking tool to max out everything. Did that ever come out?

theres a mod on nexus that does that

[mynakedrat2]

reinstalled the game, and updated to 1.06.
is my twenty something hour save from 1.03 able to be used? how?
I copy pasted the files, but none can be seen.
Anyone know if this is possible, or if there is a tool?
Putting these items in google is not showing much that i can see...thanks

I don't remember that being a complaint, but then there are a lot of things I don't remember these days...

I do however remember having the same beef with Morrowind's inventory system as W3's. I hope 1.07 makes it significantly better, even if it's not perfect.

I consider worst inventory system to be Dragon Age Inquisition, which gives you a list, but only displays about 6 items at a time, which is great when you have 50+ items in a given category. Oblivion was similar, but there were mods that made it soooo much better, so I don't count that.

[nutcrackr]

I prefer grid based in most situations because I can quickly see whatever item I am looking for by its icon. W3 has a pretty distinct set of icons. Even the oils have different colors and also put in the same order. I think it needs more tabs though, not just books. They need tabs for runestones / glyphs, one for potions / oils. W3 could have a much bigger grid area for PC too. I know some prefer lists, so they should have that as well. I thought the list system in W2 was unpleasant to navigate. But it might have been better if you had more items on screen. When you have unique items, I think just having the name of the item is counter-productive because you have no idea what it looks like until you equip it.

In short, you can pry the grid / icon system from my cold dead hands!

[GanjaStar]

game being patched on steam right now.

[Mangler]

So they are putting out patches on steam first now?

They should hang their heads in shame.

That's an update of our artpack (artbook, soundtrack, map, manual, wallpapers etc.). You can check them out by going to: Properties (from Library view)->Local files->Browse local files. Files are in main game folder.

Cheers
Łukasz Babiel, CD Projekt RED

It's not the 1.07 update.

[GanjaStar]

wow,glad i'm not on limited bandwith. i'd be pissed if it made me redownload crap I already deleted before it was updated.
