I just got to act 3 and just don't feel like playing it anymore. This past week I've started it up a few times, played a few minutes then went and did something else. I really enjoyed Act 1 and 2 though. Did this happen to anyone else?

RBA Starblade posted:The problem I ran into was no matter what, after two hits he was blocking again, and if my attack didn't get through, I was knocked back, set on fire or bleeding, then he used quen again. I got into a pattern of aard, two heavy attacks, aard, two heavy attacks, then running away until I had full vigor again. And yeah the scripted loss bugged me too. I also didn't like the quick time event when fighting the Kayran, it actually killed me because my health was low and I hit the wrong button. One thing I've noticed is that putting up Quen seems to staunch any active DoT effects. I'm not 100% for sure, but it seems like the timer for them goes away once Quen goes up. I prefer to use the potions that have no drawbacks. I tend to keep Swallow, Tawny Owl, and Rook active. The talent that reduces drawbacks and increases gains with potions is very nice and makes the ones with negative effects much more appealing. I grabbed that for my sign heavy play through. With all the vigor regen talents, I had something ridiculous like 1.5 vigor regen in combat after drinking Lapwing and Tawny Owl. I think normally it starts out at like 0.1 vigor regen in combat.

It's not that I didn't want to play anymore, I just thought act three was pretty weak in comparison (it's a combination of a lot of things that have been discussed a little already). Don't worry though, you can get through it really quickly if you want to, and won't miss that much because it is so light on content.

So this game wants me to play it on Easy, to which I say, gently caress that, I will not be condescended to by my drat HUD. Amazing how much more hectic the combat can be when it's not that silly dice roll rhythm-clicking of the first one.

Should I just go ahead and craft a meteorite silver sword or will I be finding a silver sword soon? I haven't found any besides a witcher's silver sword and I'm still using Aeondight in Chapter 2.

Because you're rewarded with a Superb Silver Sword diagram or something that's much better than your startup silver sword. Also in Ch. 2 I used a Robust Yellow Meteorite Sword I think, which you can just buy the diagram from a merchant.

I was deciding whether or not to spend my money on one of the robust sword diagrams or save up for the Draugr armor. Also I got an innocent man killed because I believed a wraith but in my defense in the last game the wraiths were always (more or less) innocent.

Don't waste your money on the Draugr diagram. You can't actually make the Draugr armor until Ch 3, and by then you'll be able to quickly find/buy better.

Alright, thanks, I'll just get the meteorite sword then. Ha, looked up the Bygone Era quest online because I sold the scroll, and it looks like I locked myself out of stuff! I'm 0 for 2 from that wraith house.

If it's any consolation, getting the guy killed arguably gets you a better reward (unless they changed that in the patch).

It looks like you get a nice sword diagram if you gently caress up versus some experience if you don't. I just need to find a dwarven armor fragment so I can make it.

You get more XP for solving it correctly but a better material reward for failing it.

Anyway yeah just make/buy a better sword.

Is there any way to check what buffs do? I know about the abilities screen, but that doesn't help me when I walk tnto a Place of Power and I can't see how much the bonus is. I've beaten this game twice now and have never found a way to do it.

I've beaten this game twice now and have never found a way to do it. You can generally tell by the icon of the buff and its name, but the Witcher wiki has more specific information. The game could disclose that stuff better but since you can have as many going at once as you find out in the world and they are always beneficial I never worry about it too much. I see one and grab it and figure it's doing something positive..

Except if I recall correctly it's freaking impossible to find a Dwarven Armor Fragment anywhere in the game. Seriously, if anyone knows where you're supposed to get one let me know, because I researched it after getting that diagram and came up with nothing.

All right, I saw this pop up on the Nexus a few days ago, much to my delight, and decided to give it my scrutinizing eye. After a few days of monster huntin' and human mashin', I feel it's something we should be keeping our eye on. Better Combat for Enhanced Edition - It's back, baby! Better Combat makes its return for the Enhanced Edition and it kicks just as much rear end as before. Or, rather, it kicks your rear end. This makes the game much harder, and in conjunction with CEO, smooths out the difficulty curve across all three acts. Generally, it makes enemies far tougher to compensate for Geralt's meteoric rise in power and equipment, forcing you to be a far more careful and patient fighter and to make use of everything in your arsenal. It's highly recommended you use this partnered with Complete Equipment Overhaul, they're essentially made to go with each other (install BC over CEO). Careful with some bosses, however; from reading the comments, it sounds like the new caretaker may have gotten a little overzealous with health regeneration, making some of them literally unbeatable. Not recommended just yet.

GoldenNugget posted:what runes should I put into my swords? I don't want to waste my runes/swords by putting a lovely rune in a good sword and a good rune in a lovely sword. Fire Runes are pretty good for damage and roasting enemies, but really the only rune you might not want to put in is Moon and that's only if you're ignoring signs. Pretty much any rune works if you're just playing the game normally.

The only rune you should completely ignore is Sun. And yeah, only use Moon if you're concentrating on signs.

I always load up my Deithwen with 3x fire runes for the incineration resistance since everything you fight after you get it is fire based. For your other sword, go Ysgith if you're Alchemy or Swords and Moon if you're Magic.

I like the idea of making the game more difficult, but it sucks when modmakers assume that you're going to use the most unbalanced weaponry available and therefore make it impossible to do anything else. Mixing swords and magic and traps and knifes and bombs is awesome; stun-locking boss after boss with 1,000 traps and bombs isn't actually very much fun.

As far as I can tell that armour fragment is completely useless. I certainly have found no diagram with it. VV Explains it, I haven't touched dark mode. Riso fucked around with this message at 18:37 on May 13, 2012 |

Kaal posted:Well he did kill their father (they were all siblings) As for the two guys in Chapter 1: Yeah, they're guilty as gently caress. However, even if you don't hand them over to the wraith, that doesn't mean you have to let them go. You can hand them over to Laredo's mother, who is the actually the brutalized young woman from their story. She probably does things to them far worse than the wraith would've.

The two guys at the burned down asylum in Flotsam are very, very guilty. The "asylum" was actually a death camp and those two tortured the Nilfgaardian Wraith to death, raped at least one inmate, tortured many others and left them all to die when the fire broke out. The guy in the Keadweni camp is Largely innocent. Soldiers "dishonoured"(probably raped) his sisters and were then killed by their father, who was possessed by a demon. He then accidentally killed his father in a scuffle. The wraith he is haunted by is the demon that possessed his father.
