It looks like I accidentally activated this super high stats glitch during the Battle of Kaer Morhen. Has anyone else run into this? Is there any way to roll it back without reloading a save before the battle and just not using Dimeritium Bombs? Having 11,000 Vitality and 300% Sign intensity without even having a single blue mutagen equipped sounds nice, but I would really prefer to come by my stats honestly, y'know?

No way to fix it I've seen, which is disappointing because by the time I realized it was a bug and not some display error I was almost done with the game. And it completely trivializes everything even moreso.

I don't really want to roll back two hours of gameplay, and I especially don't want to try to do that battle without Dimeritium Bombs. But I guess I will. God, that's annoying.

Just finished this.evilmiera posted:Yeah, I know, still not sure if he'd put the entire plan in jeopardy just for that though. Like, keep some backup around just in case, right? Well, that particular guy is basically a super hedonist as pointed out by a few characters and, as seen in the attack on Kaer Morhen, doesn't seem to have much impulse control as well as being a giant warrior. Seems fine to me. As someone who hasn't read the books or played the previous games, the plot was pretty easy to follow. The only issue I really had with the story was that Geralt actually knows who these Wild Hunt guys are - and rode with them? edit: And some of the things that Cirosan points are things I would have liked to have known, but I just chalked them up to 'isn't this Geralt guy kind of amnesiac' when they were brought up. This game was fantastic. I thought, however, that the romance plot-line was pretty badly handled. You meet Triss and do her sidequest well before you really see Yennifer (who, to a newcomer, just seemed like a pretty horrible person) and you pretty much have to know in advance how you're going to decide because, if you make the option of trying to play nice given that this is a love triangle involving a geas and a guy with amnesia and heaps of shared history and you think you might get a chance to discuss things further or see how Yennifer acts outside of the geas, well, bad luck, you're obviously a womanizer who wanted to have both of them at once. It just sticks out because every other decision and consequence is so good, even if they're sad or heartbreaking. I really enjoyed this game, despite never being able to get into the previous ones, and thought it was basically perfect. The Wild Hunt were great to look at and suitably threatening. The characters felt very believable with a whole heap of nuance. The plot was engaging. Gameplay never got stale, even after sixty hours which is the longest I've ever spent on a single RPG.

I think most of them are randomly found in chests, which is a complaint I have about the game. I'd prefer them to be stocked at alchemists and be expensive if need be; not like you really have any use for money in the end game. I think all said, I spent about 40k on alcohols for White Gull throughout the game and I still had like 50k left in reserve. Granted, I explored a LOT. I found the recipe for superior draconid oil in a chest in Lugos' area. Apparently I stole it and had to run away from level 36 guards.

Anybody know of a way to get the color-blind friendly witcher sense option to "stick"? Every time I start the game it's turned off. Also, that option is a lifesaver. Before they added it, I was actually taking Cat in the middle of the day just so I could see the red markers against the green grass.

I play on my 1080p tv at 720p, but every time I start the game up the fullscreen setting reverts to windowed borderless and I have to change it back to fullscreen. The game will also kick into windowed mode if I let it idle long enough, I think my screensaver comes on and fucks it up. Anyone experience this problem and find a fix?

I still just cannot get over the color grading in Velen making everything bright-rear end gold and dark-rear end green. Now that I'm on my second playthrough I've decided to just meditate whenever it's early sunrise/sunset-evening because I can't see poo poo in the forests when the colors are all crushed and such.

And it completely trivializes everything even moreso. Okay, I experimented a bit. You can lower your stats again, bit by bit, by unequipping and reequipping Synergy over and over again. You can't drop below your "baseline," so if you just do this until your stats stop decreasing you'll have undone all the Dimeritium stat glitching.

It's my play philosophy in general, I won't dabble with second playthroughs or "alts", I tend to have one run and do everything I can. I'm still uncovering the last ?'s on the map, and after that waiting for some larger DLC packs. I did get the Wolf armor, it looks sleek and even though it lowers my sign intensity a bit from Griffin set, it was just too sleek to pass on.

I'll probably wait until more expansion stuff comes out, mods and patches, etc. I think a lot of the janky inventory and movement stuff will be fixed up in not too long and that will make this game just about perfect. I did maybe 2/3 of the side quests and contracts so plenty of stuff left to explore on a second playthrough. I'll likely go a lot slower and just focus on doing cool quests around my level rather than chasing gear or main quest stuff. The XP and level scaling is weird and not in a good way, I think this game would be better without a leveling system at all and I'll mostly ignore it and just enjoy stuff bite by bite

Is there any way to see if you've already beaten someone at cards in the console version? I figured the dialog option with the cards would change color if you've beaten them, but it's white before and white after. Maybe I'm waiting for a patch? It seems like the cards in the dialog option should become grey if you've already beaten the merchant.

Finally finished the game. Galaxy tells me it took 185 hours, not sure if that's actually accurate but it was certainly more than 150 hours. Played on BBB throughout. Did most question marks in Velen, less than half of them in Skellige; did all contracts and easily findable side quests, of course all of gwent as well. I hit 34 during the preparations for the final last quest so I went and got the mastercrafted wolf armor and weapons. Before that I was on Griffin all the way through. My build was mostly signs; I find that you only need a handful of points in that tree, and of course the medium armor talent, to be comfortable (at least on BBB). I avoided spamming quen and igni due to how easy they make everything. My most often used sign was (regular) yrden. Usually cast a quen just as it looks like I'm about to walk into a fight, go in, place 1-2 regular yrdens and then start hitting things. I didn't use any aard talents, and didn't take puppet since it was apparently bugged back when I started the game and later on didn't feel I needed it, didn't take exploding shield either. For stuff other than signs I took 3/3 alchemy recipe tolerance (best talent ever), medium armor obviously and the basic light & heavy attack talents. I had around 10 points unused at the end which I could have put in the fast attack & heavy attack alt versions, but then I wouldn't have had room to equip those without getting rid of something else and bah. It seems that towards the end it's pretty easy to be unstoppable anyway; see for example archgriffin decoction. The ending was Ciri becoming a witcher, Nilfgaard won and Geralt retired with Yen. Like another poster earlier, I was sufficiently terrified of Emhyr that I didn't take Ciri to him. It is a bit strange that you only get one chance to do that, and the dialog prompt wasn't "listen Ciri, would you like to meet Emhyr at all?" but rather "right we're off to see Emhyr", so of course I didn't take it. That part of the story felt the weirdest tbh. There's not much buildup to Imlerith suddenly being on our world in a definite and easily predictable place, could have used more exposition beforehand, and the urgent timing makes it double weird that the "let's see Emhyr" bit is only here and nowhere else. Of course when you think about it does make sense - the wild hunt has allies on this world, they come in person for important stuff, that tree in Velen is the same one where Geralt & Letho & co found the wild hunt before, and Imlerith is apparently a right lecher, so yeah ok. Anyway, a pretty minor complaint. Eredin was super easy, he barely did any damage to me at all for some reason and I had archgriffin decoction on, so yeah. Note to fellow witchers: never use the archgriffin if you want a challenge. One of the best games of all time and certainly the best CRPG I've played. Now I want to go back and play Ultima 7 and Planescape: Torment which I missed back in the day, just to see if they can get close to the level of storytelling in this (best guess: no).

Its also similar to what Lambert and Eskel wear. Speaking of Kaer Morhen quests, I laughed at a lot at everyone getting drunk, dressing in Yen's clothes and messing with the Megascope.
