As much as I like this game I got to Skellige and then just got tired of it. But I was like, torturing myself by trying to 100% every area before I left so maybe I should try again and just not do that

i think if i could change three things about The Witcher 3, it would be the hitboxes for things you have to interact with when using witcher senses, the insane HP bump for creatures who are higher level, and the Smugglers Cache's in Witcher Ireland.

Witcher 2 was one of the worst games I ever saw as far as long rear end animations for stupid poo poo.

In 3 geralt will take a long rear end time to crouch down and inspect something for investigation and all his attacks are hella overanimated which leaves you vulnerable sometimes like if he does a light attack he might just swing at the thing or he might spin his sword all the way around his head like hes an orthodox priest and its vespers time

The fact that there's no noticeable difference between using a light ("fast") attack and a stronger ("slower") attack is bizarre and borderline criminal. I might just go full magic or something

I might just go full magic or something eh, i disagree with you there. a strong attack that deals more damage but has a higher window for interrupting the attack for damage is fine, it contributes to combat feeling more deliberate. what slows down combat is overloading hit points for high level enemies and giving them OHKOs, and the weird auto-dance thing that makes you unsure of where you will be positioned.

i do think strong attacks should have slightly more of a risk vs. reward thing OR that combining attacks in a specific way should be hugely beneficial to disabling opponents, but i don't think Strong Attacks as a thing make the game drag.

Some light attacks have animations longer than some heavies do, its a real rear end thing and a bit random, I don't know if the chains are scripted lights seem to have more lunges and tracking into range though, heavies keep you in place more.

like, if anything, one of the the major flaws in Witcher 3 combat (the randomization of your positioning after any attack) makes MORE of a difference between between quick & strong attacks, and you'd really have to be just button mashing not to see the difference. it's not a hard game.

theres def a momentum where if you keep hitting quick attacks you will become a death whirlwind, if theyre ever as slow as a heavy hit it's rare. strong attacks all have this big slow windup

The combat speeds up a lot if you're good about mixing potions and bombs into the mix. It's genuinely really hard to run out of alcohol after like 5 hours in, the limited numbers are psychological more than anything. Plus the green skill tree is honestly the strongest of the three

That sentiment is what was so fail about Witcher 2 to me. Your telling me that to make the combat bearable I have to do the 30 second animation of Witcher kneeling down to look at the leafs he collected every 5 minutes?

It also felt like something genuinely different from most other fantasy RPGs, where there’s always magic/combat skill trees. I prefer the idea of monster hunters being people who are mostly clever and smart with bombs/poisons/etc. to superhumans with swords or straight up wizards

I just hate the idea of breaking the general flow of a game because you have to go into menus during combat or frequently in between combat, especially when it involves a long animation.

The Witcher 2 was crap from an rear end so I never bothered with this one. Seems I made the right choice.

Yeah this is why I largely don't bother with oils. I mean, if I have the right kind and I'm facing a boss I'll use it but by and large I've ignored most of the use items for this reason. Swapping signs is much easier which is why I'm leaning towards magic and even then it's still kind of a pain lol

Well yeah of course but honestly anyone who plays this game on harder difficulties is probably a psycho. It's already annoying as hell in spots and I can't imagine adding inventory management on top of that is any fun whatsoever. I almost want to kick it down to easy so I have even less combat to worry about.
