It does? It's been ages since I did that quest now so I don't really remember. What did it allude to?
Unless they've said that recently I don't think that is the case. I've seen them talk in the past about revisiting it down the line. Of course that was before the guy that wrote the books was being a shit head so things may have changed.
I think anyone who’s paid any attention to my vidya game opinions would know about my love affair with Bloodborne
That post is really about 60% of what I do around here. The other 40% is healthy mix of tits, being drunk and being a cunt
It turns out that the person who locked himself in the hut and stole the pan was Thaler. He was with the Temerian diplomatic envoy meeting with Nilfgaard when they were ambushed. Thaler stowed himself away in the hut and wrote an angry message to the local Nilfgaardian commander about how they fucked up the meeting. Just funny how one of the first quests ties into one of the more important end game quests: the Djikstra, Roche, Thaler conspiracy ring.
I went for the 4K/HDR. I only use game mode for frames in shooters. And my TV does fine without game mode even on Division. At least in my completely amateur eyes. Q’s: Should I bother using money/mats to try and craft level 3 Kaedweni stuff or just hold out for Level 4 whatever named gear the bowlcut is selling / polv mentioned on last page? Got real excited I had the mats for Viper Silver sword already. But thought the little midget fuck could give it to me before I went to talk to these soldiers... nope. Guess I wait for the Smith in the castle. EL OH EL and fuck off to them for giving me a Level 37 Harpy Sword blueprint at Level 1. Just fuck off.
You will find better gear pretty regularly in the beginning. It's worth hoarding materials so that you can craft the beginning sets of Witcher gear at level 11. So I would wait.
It’s not like other games where they blatantly try to funnel you towards micro transactions. Just hold onto it and it’ll feel super sweet when you’re able to craft and equip it
Not gonna lie the griffin was too easy. Was level 3 with the viper silver OP for that boss? Should I bump it up to the hardest difficulty or would monster scaling be better option?
Even if you’re the type of player that does 50 side missions in between story missions? I see the level recommendations on each area but there’s a lot of inbetween there. Like one IIRC was level 6 and the next was 12 or 16. And didn’t know if those factored in shit like crafting weapons/armor. Ex: first night I played and got rocked by any group of 3+ Doug Jones’s and don’t think I ever killed an entire pack of wolves+warg. ~15 ?s later I can take down a pack of wolves and a group of Doug’s without getting hit... and in a surprised/button mashing fashion. They’re level 5 on health bar and I’m just now a 3. Is that pretty standard? Changes between point A and point B: Have 5/5 fast attack and 3/3 Quen Viper silver +35dmg from Witcher silver and Whatever steel +10% critical chance/ +12dmg over beginning steel that was armor piercing. And armor is upgraded from original but not much except chest which is Armor36 and green. I kinda wanted to go back to white orchard before going to velen but the first encounter I had was a “treasure guarded by dangerous beasts” southeast of the fort... which was 4 wolves that took 3 fast attacks each.
If you are on PC there are some mods that balance the combat with experience gained to keep you from getting OP.
Don’t get me wrong it’s pretty sweet chugging a thunderbolt, applying Phil Niekro-phage oil / Sceptre oil and breezing through monsters/wraiths but the first well-chick fight was a lot more fun than the past 2 places of power wraiths that I killed before they could even attack me more than once.
Just so you know, if you level way past a mission, you'll get fewer XP for completing the mission. I had a handful of missions that I ended up getting only 1XP for because I was like in the 20's and the mission was a 15 or something.
Older brother played it on PC and he uses those. Think he said ~175 hours played and the trophy % was 52% whatever that means. Completion percent? He said to look into the gameplay setting Monster scaling.
Just from my first time experience, I got destroyed on the reg on Death March. You do you though, if it's too easy, crank it up. The level distribution of activities and quests doesn't always make sense, but just come back to them later. You can take on quests that are a few levels above you.
Is that for story missions or side missions as well? In Division the main missions you could level way past and breeze through and all had set XP bonuses. but the sides you could save for whenever and their Difficulty automatically defaults to your characters + XP defaults to 1/3 of your current levels. Reddit consensus is enemy scaling just makes randoms harder but you’ll outlevel story bosses regardless if you’re a side hustle guy
That exploding shield Quen wrecks everything. Normally because they lunge at me while I’m jumping in with the spinny jump fast attack so they get stunned + injured + sometimes knocked down... while I’m in Jago KI-Combo mode.
and is litterally nothing like skyrim either. Skyrim is a fine game but the story is trash and Witcher 3 is just the better game in every aspect.
Question on builds. I know it’s a preference etc but does anyone out much stock into alchemy skills? Especially to the point of dedicating a quadrant to all greens + mutagen? Is it a bad thing to have a quadrant that’s not uniform color with the mutagen? Early on I get mix and matching what’s important. But end game I’d think the multipliers outweigh plugging in a single green here or there. Other hand at least early on using potions/oil/mutagens seem like it could be better than raw damage focus. And later on having a killing spree sounds p fun Kinda was planning on using my brothers build as a guide but he’s an anti-green. Was curious if that was common Spoiler: tree
Audibly yelled holy fuck when the 9 foot tall spider came out of nowhere about goddamn jumped off my couch
Lmaooooo and 20 minutes and multiple heart palpitations later I now know to check quest levels instead of blindly clicking RS and following Breadcrumbs to nightmareville. I realized I made a terrible terrible mistake on attempt #3... thought I was ab to be a clever fuck and got in a tunnel ole Harrisi was too fat for and planned to whittle him down with crossbow. When I saw a “1” i laughed and packed up a bowl and planned my escape. Don’t think a video game has ever legitimately taken breath away and made me scoot back on the couch. Well done Witcher.
I totally forgot you can use Aard to get rid of the green gas, instead of Igni. I've blown myself up more times than I care to admit.
This isn't Witcher 3 (or Skyrim) related specifically but there also isn't a "General Gaming Thread" or anything on here so I figured I would ask here. Does anyone have any suggestions for a couple good local co-op games (couch co-op) that don't require XBox Live?
