Lord Lambeth posted:Important to note that rolling away will use up a bunch of stamina but just dodging won't use up any. You can dodge all you want and still use signs, not the other way around. Yeah, they really toned down rolling from witcher 2, not a bad idea because it was ridiculous. Mainly dodging versus monsters and doing parry counterattacks versus humans has worked well for me so far.

I gotta praise this game a bit. I got the contract for the witch in the well. The entire quest is quite amazing. You go there, learn what kind of ghost it is, look it up and the bestiary. It feels unforced, natrual story telling. You learn how you can defeat her, go out to produce that poo poo, use the trap and then finally defeat her. It's a short quest, but it feels right. Of course, the sad music that plays around the area kinda doesn't help, because it's a sad as gently caress story.  ^e: Oh wow, that actually opens a new dialog with the herbalist that is not even part of the quest  This game is so good.

Mike the TV posted:I just started and I have the graphics set as high as I can (for a 270) and the grass and leaves are super low-quality. I have texture and grass density set to the highest level and it still looks like I'm wandering around a watercolor painting. Is there a setting that I'm missing? I fiddled with the settings a bit and the texture quality is always low no matter what I changed the settings to. Do I need to fiddle with the .ini file? I'd really like some high-quality gooseberry bushes please. If it helps, I have an i5-4570 and an r9 270.

Junkenstein posted:gently caress, hard locks when in the inventory getting a bit annoying now. Having just done a search on it, I found 'Finally got it working. If somebody will have same problem, just turn off v-sync. No crashes after this. Weird bug.' Someone else said it was fixed by going full screen, not borderless windows and 'tweaking graphic settings', given that could include the v-synch setting above, i'd start with just that.

ymgve posted:Just had a freeze trying to slot a gem into an item. Considering this and the freezing when reading notes, something's definitely hosed up with the inventory code. I had a dozen or so random freezes during cutscenes / while browsing the inventory until I switched from fullscreen to borderless window. Been a smooth ride ever since.

Keket posted:Yeah i am, its that 3 man sword fight in the tavern, i've got it on story and swords, dodge and block and just end up getting murdered every time. This is where I hosed up my save game and almost had to restart / give up the game. I was level 2 (Or barely level 3..?). It autosaves you if they attack. I had almost zero health so I would die instantly and wait to reload only to happen again and again. My manual reload was HOURS before that (Stupid me!), so I was stuck. I got past it by backing into a corner, holding down the parry button and all three guys couldn't hurt me. I cast flame occasionally while I ate all my food until I was full health then attacked and killed them. You're not supposed to be that low level, and the game didn't hold your hand, which is good, and obviously bad. Just remember to MANUALLY SAVE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING THAT MIGHT TRIGGER A BIG FIGHT OR CHOICE OR CHECKPOINT.

I'm going hog wild with W3 saves. Fortunately, they're much much smaller than in W2. I actually had to prune my W2 saves because they regularly exceeded the Steam Cloud limit.

do you get some sweet capes or hoods to wear in this game? also one of my pals said the graphics quality was "on point to the same as Shadow of Mordor" for the PS4 version, is that an astute comparison? I thought that looked pretty as hell on PS4.

The rules are much simpler than mtg, I thought the weather effect would have a later timestamp. Broken Cog posted:Gwent seems a bit weird to me, like a lot of cards seem flat out better than others.

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:[Shadowplay w]orked for me, obviously make sure that shadowplay is enabled (I just set it to manual) and that FPS is set to appear in a corner in geforce experience. I'm at a constant 60 with a single 970, gonna grab my settings in a bit - although might be able to increase them just a little. I've triple-checked that, and I just can't get the overlay to show up. Afterburner works fine, though.  Also, is there something I should be doing in a monster den to clear it, other than killing everything inside? Edit: Nevermind, I didn't loot everything because I'm myopic as gently caress. Clear your corners, people. Badly Jester fucked around with this message at 18:47 on May 19, 2015 |

One thing i'm not seeing mention of is the art style in this game. I always thought W2 had a much more "fantasy" look than W1. Not for better or worse, just different. This game is how I imagine W1 would look like with modern graphics. White Orchard reminds me a lot of Vizima Outskirts. I love it! I like that this game ties back into W1 in that way, making all three games, though different, still have some visual consistency. Also...that loving soundtrack.
