One bad thing about buying the game from GOG: No cheevos.

There are cheevos, check your GOG client. They're just not as obnoxious as on Steam.

Yeah, I'm wondering if they did anything about mutagen bonuses being removed every time you load a game. Fixing the XP glitch is great, and now that's the only quality of life thing that's really bothering me.

Do, but only if some sort of building is visible on the map there, the ones in the middle of nowhere are just a monster guarding a treasure chest with nothing you care about.

Going out to every "?" on the map is probably my favorite part of the game, even if 90% of the time it's a stupid chest with nothing worthwhile in it.

It does not appear to have done so.

Edit: Checked a few times now, clearing all abilities and mutagens, re-adding them, saving and reloading. Still losing the base bonuses of each mutagen and retaining the additional bonuses granted by matching ability colours. I'm only using blue/signs. It's a shame, but I'm happy the XP fix is in. I wasn't expecting the patch today.

can i get a transform out of here?
My two questions got buried without answer, so I guess I'll ask them again:
1) If the NPC who I can win the Geralt card from dies in a quest letting Djikstra kill him, is there no way to get that card for the rest of the game?
2) If I'm level 33 but I still don't have some of the lvl 1 potion recipes (golden oriole, etc...), can I still find them somewhere? I can only seem to find high-level recipes now.

The other story NPC who can end up in a similar situation leaves a card behind where you can grab it and the quest log tells you this. I would make an alternate save and go ahead and read the quest log.

Menu UIs on the PS4 are a lot more readable now: Current versus old. It's also a lot easier to read the number of materials you need in crafting recipes now. No more squinting at the television.

It's such a great feeling. You just got finished cutting the head off an archgriffen or lifting a 1000 year curse off an island, and then some drunk rear end in a top hat thinks he's going to be the one to do you in.

Then again, you did once get destroyed by a kid with a pitchfork.

So you can't make mutagens any more if you already have one of that type. Or brew up multiple batches of White Gull/other alchemical precursors. On the plus side, Moon Dust is fixed now.

To be fair, most bandits are in a war torn region, and many of them are deserters.

I've noticed less bandits in Skellige so far, though to be fair, many Skellige citizens are just pirates that are nice on land.

I found a "Place of Haunting" in southern Velen where i could see a ghost digging and i found some of my witcher gear there, but nothing else and the marker never greyed out.

There's also a quest in Kaer Morhen, at the 'Bastion' to the West of the main keep that makes use of it.
