How relevant's armor so far late game? Cat School is looking really nice, but I don't want to face the situation of giving up even upgraded version if Eredin or whoever ends up as final boss just splats me like a fly eventually.

So I'm playing on the hardest difficulty, but I'm finding I'm running into a lot of trouble even when fighting a group of drowners at the beginning of the game. Everything seems 4 or so levels higher than me, and they hurt a ton! Any advice for playing on this difficult?

Do 2 strong attacks, then re-position. Don't get baited into chasing after them while they hop backwards because they are just going to punish you. Oh also if you have to fight more than one just give up all hope and turn off the game. You can probably pull them one at a time though if their patrol paths are on your side. Might be able to use crossbow too.

Dr. Carwash posted:Why does Steam say Wild Hunt is uninstalled? It says I have to install the entire thing again, but it's still on my computer......what...... This exact thing happened to me with Dota 2 a few days ago. Just hit install and Steam will detect your existing files and not download anything. Unfortunately you need to first have enough free space on your disk to download the entire thing (it allocates the space before checking for existing files), I had to move some stuff around to my secondary drive temporarily to make the space.

If you have to fight multiple drowners, get them all to lunge at you, use the short dodge to get out of the way of each, then slice up the closest ones back before their pounce routine starts again. They're very susceptible to Igni and Aard will give you the time to get an attack in after their lunges.

Comte de Saint-Germain posted:I'm not 100% on how it all works, but I know that in at least one of my quests Forefather's Eve if you do the quest and burn the Pellar's father you get a regional discount for a lot of the stores in Velen. I'm really sorry to say this Comte, but that quest was a little disappointing to me. It seemed somewhat poorly paced. You have that big cool fight in the stone circle with the chanting and the summoning of ghosts and it really seems like it's going somewhere crazy, then it just sorta stops and you get effectively a fetchquest from the Pellar to go burn his dad's body. Would've been way cooler and more interesting to have a choice to have that confrontation out in the open or something equally nuts, a unique wraith, something. It just felt like it ended on a wet fart.

The answer to both Drowners and bee hives is Igni. Actually, I'm a little grumpy about Igni and drowners. It was so critical to me surviving that I put 5 points into the armor-stripping skill and I'm not seeing much of a benefit that I wouldn't see from the +quick attack damage or something.

I feel like my framerate went down a bit as well with the new patch, but the game is still playable and only just dips below 60 every now and then.

Anecdotally the patch actually fixed the framerate problems I've been having. Perfect 60 with everything maxed except for foliage distance and hairworks, gtx 970 and i3570k @ 4.2.

Open GoG galxy, open Witcher 3 page, open configure, checkmark disable automatic updates. You can also disable dlc this way, it appears.

For people on 1.03 with lower framerate than they had on 1.02, I'm guessing this particular patch note maybe at fault? Boosted texture anisotropy sampling to 16x on Ultra preset

So on the PC, in Gwent, you press X to play the leader card ability right? For some reason this has totally disappeared for me. Am I doing something wrong? I haven't had the option to play the card for the last like 10 games I've played.

Orv posted:Something worse. The spirit razes Downwhatever and fucks up everything else. Not certain that feeding a passel of orphans to monsters in order to save the life of a wife beater is a good trade, myself. Downhollow's more of a blow, I'll grant you, but then they were the people feeding children to monsters in the first place. Between that and sticking it to the Crones, I'm actually feeling pretty good about letting the death horse do its thing.

The Crones promised to tell me about Ciri, so that tree and those kids were toast. I went back with the Baron later to grab Anna just because I knew I'd be sticking it to The Crones. That entire questline really reminded me of something from a Hellboy comic. Burying a stillborn child under the threshold to the house to make it a benevolent spirit, the trail of treats, Johnny losing his voice in a harpies nest, the tree and the werewolf, the price for the Crones protection  and then finally meeting them!I seriously loved it, it had so much of the old world to it, which is great 'cos I went to Novigrad right after and it's all underworld tensions and a gold heist, it couldn't be farther removed.

Comte, I found a spelling error in a quest line - during the Griffon Scavenger hunt the Witcher George's confession letter spells "robbing" as "robing". Pretty anal, I know, but I thought I'd bring it up since I noticed it. Fantastic game!

Found a great quest from a quest board in a small town! Seemed boring, but turned super-awesome fast! It probably only exists for certain Witcher 2 world-states though, and it seemed like there were a number of ways to screw it up part-way through.

Where does the gwent tutorial guy go if you refuse to learn it when you first meet him? I didn't want to at first because I heard about the crashed, but now that I'm about to leave the area I want to learn how to play but he isn't in the tavern (and I waited for all times of day).
