Cause normally my assumption would be “lol gently caress no, look at how it runs on lastgen hardware” but I kinda assume it would be mercilessly lambasted if it actually were that bad, like the GTA Definitive Trilogy. Or, you know, certain other CD Project games. I have not played it, but the graphical experience does seems to be very reduced. I had a friend that picked it up as the switch was their only console and they did not have a gaming pc of any kind, and they had fun, but if you have another option i would take that route.

I’ve already beaten the main story, I just figured if the downsides are mainly graphical then being able to play in bed would be pretty sweet for a replay if that’s the only problem. But like I mentioned, Witcher 3 gave me more problems than I’m used to wrt performance for a game so I wasn’t sure if it would be remotely stable on something weaker than a PS4.

It's Fine for a switch port, just yeah graphically a lot lower quality it also supports steam/gog crosssaves so if you want to double dip you can just jump back and forth

iirc from what others have said, it's a good experience when docked, but absolutely chews through the battery in handheld mode.

I played a hundred plus hours on Witcher 3 on switch and it was fine (fair warning tho, about 10 of those hours were spent staring at loading screens, so don't pick a difficulty where you'd expect to die a lot)

Switch version is fine. I’ve done 4 plays on pc and doing one on switch now. The graphics are way worse but not that bad, and loading times aren’t great but that is usually only a problem starting the game. Other than ability to use mods, I don’t think your losing anything on the switch version.

You can use some mods if you have the ability to mod your switch, just nothing that uses mod scripting or changing textures. Which admittedly cuts out quite a large amount of mods. but i used the weight limit mod on my switch playthrough to great effect, for example.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERGXLY_OHhw I think the new composer for Season 2 is a fan of the games. It sounds like a blend of the Kaer Morhen theme, The Vagabond and the Netflix Season 1 theme.

I’m replaying the this on pc for the first time since it came out and boy does the hacking, wheezing, spitting and coughing from random townsfolk hit MUCH different while living through a pandemic. Weird how something that I pretty much ignored the first time around REALLY skeeves me out because of real world circumstance.

Doing another playthrough and found a small thing I hadn’t seen before in the Towerful of Mice quest I’d always gone through the tower with a torch or the cat potion but had neither this time and had to keep the magic lamp on the whole time. Turns out Annabel’s ghost is visible on each level running up to escape the peasants, it’s not part of any ghost vignette scene thingy so I’d never seen that before! I’m sure lots of people’ve seen that but I somehow missed it in every playthrough so far

Need some technical help. The new season has encouraged me to pick my current playthrough (5th one at that!) of Witcher 3 back up. I'm noticing a very slight "stutter" when turning the camera. It goes away when I disable hairworks. This is a system that can run Witcher 3 on ultimate with mods and the HD Reworked mod at over 100fps, so it's not a matter of not having the hardware, and it's never happened before. I have an FPS counter that's showing my FPS as being pegged at 144 so the stuttering doesn't appear to be the game dropping frames. It's hard to explain other than the slight stutter. Anyone else run into this and know what I can do to fix it?

Do you have a freesync/gsync monitor? Might be a conflict between two different syncs occurring.

I had vsync working earlier in the year but at some point a new driver package made it not work. I can enable it just fine but I started noticing page tearing again. A lot. Then I downloaded Nvidia’s Gsync demo, and I can’t even select the gsync option, it just bounces right back to either vsync on or vsync off. Not sure which was the last driver my monitor worked with, but research has taught me that even though my monitor is incompatible, it’s still a possibility but no guarantee it’ll actually work.

Hmm, you could ask the monitor thread for advice. I have a Freesync monitor but unfortunately not a card that supports it, so don't have any first hand experience.

Jumping in for more wotcher and I'm wondering if I should update my mod list, what with the OP being four years old and me not recalling if I used anything out of the ordinary the last time around. I'm thinking map/quest stuff, auto-oils, durability/weight fixes, fall damage/shallow jumping, dyes everywhere. What am I missing, you reckon? I'm aiming for a playthrough with minimal management (hence no durability and peak weight limit), just a fun romp where I still get the satisfaction of collecting stuff and crafting poo poo.

I would also recommend Indestructible Boats, to help navigate Skellige without worrying about getting sunk by the many random flying monsters. And considering how many underwater question marks are in Skellige...

I’ve never had a boat sink or have more than one piece of wood torn off. Just keep sailing and sirens and such don’t catch up with you.

Don't forget you can "sprint" in boats. That way nothing should catch up with you.

I think the idea was “we need a unifying force/threat in the show to motivate characters to get where they need to be when the Thanned Coup goes off.” Also, TV show prediction: The elves and other non-humans likely won’t form the Scoi’Tael. They’ll likely be there own separate faction vying for power and control of Ciri.

I think we'll still get the squirrels in some capacity. The show has established Filevandrel as a moral compass for Francesca and if the coup plays out like in the books they'll gently caress off to Dol Blathanna while the more vengeful elves will form the squirrels. Filevandrel is rightfully pissed their kid is dead but he also knows firsthand how lovely things are living like bandits. The season's theme was already about moving past hatred and starting anew. The Elves going all Old Testament smite the firstborn on the people of Redania will likely set off another pogrom and push the more desperate nonhumans into the squirrel units. Istredd informing Francesca that Ciri is of the Elder Blood is likely there to motivate the elven delegation to attend the Thanedd conference to try and snatch Ciri and maneuver themselves into a position to gain a homeland.

I think “respectful of the source material” is gonna be subjective. But the show was always gonna be different and so far I love both seasons. I feel like they’re getting the tone just right. Also, house with chicken legs was a very nice touch.

I've enjoyed Witcher S2 so much that I'm already rewatching it on the side. Joey Batey continues to be my favorite. On the other hand, I checked out of Wheel of Time after episode 3. I like a lot of the cast (esp. Tam and Thom), but overall it isn't giving me anything significant that The Witcher isn't. I'll probably revisit it later, maybe when all the first season's episodes are available.

Oh yes, I love that Graham McTavish is in that role. Excellent casting Also, I did a double take at the voice of the dockworker who "chats" with Jaskier. Turns out he's the VA for a few characters in The Witcher III, such as Cleaver

And Foltest's voice actor is the Nilfgaardian general. Plus Myanna Buring plays both Tissaia and voices Annarietta in Witcher 3. What if they got Doug Cockle to play Leo Bonhart?
