Played for about 5 hours so far over the last two days. The game looks better to me then the 2013 video. Have all settings maxed and hair turned on, looks absolutely gorgeous. The different color pallet alone makes it much better then what was shown previously. If I had to stare at grey constantly I would gouge my eyes out.

Yeah two of my favorite things in this game is the unabashed use of color and also the sound environment holy gently caress

To be honest I think (not know) the starting armor is just there to teach you that items can be upgraded, like other posters have said you will easily leave White Orchard with a better outfit.

I want to play the game, but I can't cause it keeps freezing about 10 minutes in now. I hope they find out what the hell is causing it and patch it quick. It seriously is just like Fallout 3 where you'd just randomly freeze while doing nothing or anything. Freezing issues, no dedicated inventory for potions/oils/bombs, no outside storage, and wonky rear end movement that makes fine adjustments nearly impossible are my only gripes with this game.

wait what the fuck??

I'm playing on PS4 and for some reason no matter what when I'm running around off the horse the camera keeps dipping super low to zoom in on Geralt's rear end, unless I'm constantly fiddling with the right stick. It's really annoying.

A lot of work was put on motion capturing that rear end and you drat better admire it.

Are there any story consequences to getting too "friendly" with various sorceress? Particularly the one in Velen, but more generally if Geralt bangs everything with a skirt does it cut you out of certain endings to the whole Yennifer subplot? I sort of assume she'd take notice, but this is a Witcher game so :shrug:

thank gently caress, maybe this will hardlock the ps4 gameplay framerate and fix the movement issues. also maybe give geralt some decent knees so he doesn't buckle like a geriatric after falling 2 feet

Yennefer is probably sleeping around Skeelinge too, if it makes you feel better. They're both fine with it, she's just mad about Triss because she was her friend.

I have the same card and was getting crashes.

I turned off the NVIDIA Streamer Service, Set my Framerate cap to Unlimited and turn on Vsync. Since then I haven't had a single crash in game.

For the record, this worked, all the stuttering, and never ending freeze stopped, I occasionally get a freeze, probably loading an area or something, but then it comes back

Okay, on a related note: what's the biggest bottleneck in terms of my performance, CPU or GPU or something else? My 3 years old PC has an Intel i5 -2500 3.3ghz CPU and GeForce GTX 750. I'm playing this on high with some tweaks (similar to GTA V) but what should I update if I want the biggest boost on modern PC games?

Funny enough, the both games look good to me even on med-high settings, so I can't even imagine what it'd be like on Ultra.

Graphics card, the 2500 will be fine for a while. Standard "buy a 970 with the two free games" response. Sell the GOG Witcher code for 25 or 30 bucks.

So I've killed the wyvern at the lighthouse twice now and both times gotten nothing. Does he just not drop anything? It's a gigantic pain in the rear end to kill him at level 4 and I don't want to do it again. He's also kind of buggy and his corpse tends to clip through the floor when he dies.

I could never get in to Witchers 1 or 2 because the combat was somewhat off-putting. Specifically, the rigmarole of buffs and traps and pre-fight setup was stuff I was just not interested in. Is Witcher 3 any different in that regard?

So are cats important to Geralt? Came across a cutscene where a cat got a suspiciously disproportionate amount of camera time despite being irrelevant to the scene and quest in question.

Traps are gone and you can now use potions in combat. Faster flow to combat.

Edit: Blade oils I think still need to be applied out of combat.

Wish there were more inventory slots, though. With only two I don't have space for all of Swallow, a food item to actually make Swallow useful, and Thunderbolt. Sure, I can use them directly from the inventory, but opening the inventory right now is russian roulette with game freeze bullets.

And the Itsy Bitsy Spider
went up the spout again.

I was having crashes too, sometimes after 2mins of playing sometimes after hours of play. Tried fullscreen vs windowed, returns vid card to stock speeds, vsync on/off, all sorts of suggestions. What I think did fix it was removing the new nvidia drivers (along with geforce experience) and installing just the drivers from the release right before GTA5, 347.88. Seems good so far but now that I've posted this it'll probably crash on me in the next five minutes.

I quicksave all the time now, probably not a bad habit either way.

On the upgraded armor thing.. I've only seen two schematics so far that required previous armor, one for the starter chest and one for a different one. Both upgraded to fairly low level armors, are there higher level plans that will keep boosting them from there? I didn't keep my starter armor and honestly I really don't see myself missing it either, there are upgrades all over the place.

It doesn't drop anything. It seems like you're just meant to avoid it because of how lovely the area is for fighting it.
