You can probably do it but you may have to gently caress with the ini files to get an acceptable frame rate so your game will look worse than everyone else's. Though from my experience with a highly borderline computer, you can at least leave textures on high with that much ram and it won't affect anything. It's mostly shadows and trees that kill you.

Yeaaaaaah that's going to be on the edge of playable if at all, though you could probably turn the resolution down and get 30FPS@1336x768 or something. I recommend just saving up $180 and grabbing an R280X. The rest of your box is gunna hold you back but that upgrade can come later.

Has there been word on whether or not starting NG+ on death march will make you eligible for the trophy? If it doesn't I guess I'll just start a regular new game.

JetsGuy posted:I don't remember who said it earlier, but whomever made a comment about random recipes being random and frustrating is correct. I've still have one or two oils that are just "enhanced", and I think one of my bombs are just "enhanced" also. Dimetrium bombs I don't even know if there's an upgrade for. I only got them when Lambert gave them to me. The mastercrafted diagram is just in a cheat behind a pillar. I got it before I ever touched any of the statues.

How do you pronounce Dijkstra? Because if it involves a phoneme that doesn't exist in English you really shouldn't be surprised they didn't force the VA to choke it out.

Captain Scandinaiva posted:What level are you? Have you done all the contracts? In my experience, valuable loot seems to be tied to chests near boss-type monsters as well as your level. While also being randomised. 35... maybe 36. Done all the contracts. I did all but 1 before Isle of Mists  . I've done all the sidequests except two or three that are bugged and forever in my "active" list even though I've completed them. I don't want to say I've done everything because I'm sure there's some ! I missed somewhere....but I think it's fair to say if anyone should have all the recipes, I should.

The Sharmat posted:How do you pronounce Dijkstra? Given that a lot of the guys in Novigrad use dutch names like Van Hoorn and Dijkstra, its kind of wierd as a dutch speaker that they didnt go to that effort. Anyway, dutch 'ij' in Dijkstra is closer to "daykstra" than it is "deekstra": Here's a simple word using 'ij'. Also, Dijkstra's troll has my first name, but I can't denounce the accuracy  Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I pronounce the first vowel sound differently because that's how my computer science professors said it.

It runs great at 1080p on low-mid settings but there can be some noticeable slow-downs in cutscenes with lots of characters/action. Not sure how big the difference is between our graphic cards but I'd say that's definitely your bottleneck. JetsGuy posted:35... maybe 36. Done all the contracts.

That sounds normal. I did everything in the game except the Skellige sea ?s and was missing a bunch of superior oils. For whatever reason unlike potions and bombs you're not guaranteed to get all the missing oil recipes off the druid guy.

All he ever has is runestone diagrams I've no use for. Maybe I'll buy em and he'll proc the oil. PS I wish that rear end in a top hat bought some of my poo poo. I hate going in there and seeing how many thousands Ive given him. Usually I sell crap like my 100s of runestones I don't need. Captain Scandinaiva posted:Ok, that's weird.

Ive definitely noticed better gear the more I level and I rarely if ever got something worth less than 500 with all that Skellige ?s. Usually they were worth over 700. (I mean in terms of selling, like the merchant gave me that much.)

I really wish there were glyphs that weren't sign buffs. I haven't upgraded signs and all an only use them in specific opportunities, like Aard to down a griffen or Yrden to massacre specters. Just like, anything +1 health regen (which is almost nothing), raw damage resists, anything that might be useful to someone who doesn't use signs at all.

Yeah, I wish they had gone the route of having the runes mean different things depending on where it's socketed. They were a nice bonus if that's what I'm aiming for anyway but I didn't think too much beyond that.

I feel the same about mutagens regarding to skills. There's basically 3 'colors' of mutagens and you basically just upgrade them to get buffs to your skills straight out. Couldve done a lot more with 'em.

It would be pretty cool if the monster-specific mutagens gave similar (weaker?) versions of their decoction bonuses.

I wouldn't have any problem with mutagens if you could disassemble the "special" ones into basic ones. Like I have a dozen wraith mutagens, which should be a specialized green mutagen that could be reduced to a regular green and used as an ingrediant for a greater green. Also, the crafting is pretty annoying in how ingredients are treated. For some reason, Dark Steel Ingots are made from Steel Ingots and Dark Iron Ore, which means that if you have Dark Iron Ingots, you have to disassemble them back into Dark Iron Ore to make the Dark Steel Ingot. This is really dumb.

So I'm pretty much done with this game, though I occasionally go back to it for a quest here and there. Are there any of the high level witcher contracts (like 25+) that are really worth doing? I'm a little tired of the standard "Follow blood trail, find monster nest, kill monster" plotlines.

Snak posted:even repeat dialogue that crafters say every time you talk to them? I'm finishing up the masterwork gear for my build before finishing the story, so I'm in and out of suppliers and craftsmen a lot and that extra 3-5 seconds to switch between looking at my inventory and the craftsman menu is annoying. That armorer in Midscope trying to sell you on his brand of armor every time you talk to him. Then when you say farewell Geralt just stands there for a moment. *Sigh* Soooooo loooong Then the camera pulls out.

Just got back into playing this after finding the size of Velen too  . I can't believe the amount of content in this game. Velen alone could easily be a game unto itself. I kinda wanna try 100%-ing the game, I'm not sure that'd be good for my sanity/nonexistent social life though.

Okay, so the Katakan decoction only raises crit chance by 5%?! so the best crit item in the game is meditating until there's storm and using Thunderbolt? That's kind of janky. edit: also that archgriffin guarding the hidden treasure north of Ard Skellige? Is that the one people have been talking about? I didn't see what level it was because hudless, and I did die on the first attempt, but beat it easily in <5 mins on the second attempt. Superior Thunderbolt is hax.

I just got killed by some crazy monster walking upright with antlers, it one-shotted me by making wood/roots come out of the ground. It was kinda spooky. Me: "WHAT is that thing?" Monster immediately turns towards me and casts woods and I die immediately. What just killed me? I wasn't close enough to see a monster type or level. This was in Velen near the Dragonslayer's grotto and Downwarren. Edit: I may have been low on health, so it didn't totally drain all my vitality as I had though. dog nougat fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Aug 7, 2015 |

My first encounter with a Leshen basically amounted to me going "what the jesus gently caress is that thing, oh god I'm hosed  " and then downing it almost immediately with the instinctual reaction burst of Igni. It's made of wood, you see.  This was pre-Igni nerf, however.
