CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:I'm near the end of B&W, thinking about doing another play through and actually playing gwent. I'd do NG+, and buy a couple of potions of clearance before you switch over. That way, you can change your playstyle a ton in White Orchard until you find something you want to stick with for a little while. Plus, you probably haven't finished your mutations and stuff. Stuff any gear you want to take with you in your stash.

I've bought a few mutations already though, the first combat one, first sign one, and 2 of the alchemy ones (using euphoria at the moment), so I have 2 of the extra ability slots opened up. Potions of clearance are probably a good idea because I'm definitely built towards concoction abuse due to having all the alchemy formula and have 5 points into acquired tolerance, which won't help at all in a new game.

i’ve had a good time with ng+, because you don’t need to recollect all your alchemical recipes again and you essentially start with a ‘buffer’ of 50 odd skill points (counting places of power) which lets you experiment more with skill setups. it’s also the only realistic way to unlock all mutations so you open all 4 bonus slots. otherwise it’s basically the same as a standard play through - your level coming in is treated as the new level 1 and everything scales up from there. even if you bring in the highest level gear you can from your previous playthrough, it’ll quickly be outlevelled by ng+ equipment, so you never feel OP.

It actually will. You keep your potions. You get weapon and armor diagrams again, but they're upgraded to reflect your higher level.
