One thing I dislike in the new Inventory/menu UI is the one second delay prior to the stats box popping up, unlike how they would instantly show before. But all the other improvements more than make up for it like having the weapons/armor list be on the far right instead of the far left :getin:

You want bad advice?

Anything is okay if you don't get caught!

... I hope this helps!
I had no idea that patches for this game break mods so badly. It refuses to even start up if it senses anything wrong. If I've done my sleuthing correctly, the patch has broken AutoLoot, Always Full Exp, Fast Travel From Anywhere, No Witcher Sense, Map Quest Objectives, SlotsSlotsSLOTS, Unlimited Durability, and Witcher Sense Toggle. So, almost everything that wasn't a retexture. Some are just cheaty ones I can live without, but I'm going to miss auto loot and the sense toggle. Now to wait and see how long it takes the Nexus to react.

This is why you always check your glossary when doing witcher contracts. :eng101:

As I recall, I don't think the glossary updated until I was basically already there, if not after. It hasn't always given me the monster entry in advance.

There was a succubus quest in The Witcher 2, and it features one of my favorite Geralt lines of the entire series.

That's a good scene. I feel like the voice actor for Geralt really stepped it up in the third game.

They made Geralt much softer too.

Dude spends most of the series pissed as gently caress. Compared to him Witcher 3 Geralt is a jolly fellow.

All of the voice acting is really well directed, it's quite astounding when compared to the wooden stiff repetetive voices of something like Oblivion or even Skyrim.

They spent all of baptism of fire telling geralt to grow the gently caress up and stop being a moody rear end in a top hat. Guess it must have stuck

Yay, all downloaded, though I loaded my save and Roach is completely invisible sans the armor and tail. Hopefully validating the game cache fixes it.

The Last Wish, The Sword of Destiny, Blood of Elves, Time of Contempt, Baptism of Fire, The Swallow's Tower, Lady of the Lake. Season of Storms chronologically takes place in the middle of The Last Wish, but was the last one written, so should be read last. Lady of the Lake and Season of the Storms only have unofficial translations so far. I just started myself, but The Last Wish was excellent, and Blood of Elves is very good so far as well.

Is it just me or does the game run better than it did before now?

Like before when I had everything on Ultra I'd get about 45/50 fps and now after the patch and expansion came out it runs at a full 60fps with everything on Ultra! :prepop:

Anybody else having trouble getting Blood and Wine to start on PS4? A pop-up came up and said it was ready to use but on the main menu it said it's still not available until May 31st and it won't acknowledge that I have it. Should I redownload or something?

Where do the Torch items go?
It disappeared from my pocket and I can't find it anywhere in my inventory. I did however, find it in the inventory when at a store. So weird.


Also, I've been getting a TON of experience for lower level quests (was catching up on some lvl 15-17 stuff at 21)
Normally they'd award me between 1 and 20 experience, now I'm getting 400-500 per major checkpoint.

As cool as that sounds, it just seems like I'll be way too OP by the time I get to the end of the game, the level pacing was way better pre-patch IMO.
