I like the regular Griffin armor, but the enhanced versions have too many golden bits in them, which doesn't really suit Geralt imo.

I learned to use/make a build around the Bear Armor just because of how consistently good the set looks. Thing that gets me/doesn't wholly make sense to me is how Drowners aren't blockable. Which annoys me because they attack about as fast as Nekkers do.

Drowners are the sprt of thing you jump in slash barrel roll out and set them on fire on higher difficulties anything other than taking your time will lead to a pretty sudden death for such a garbage enemy.

The best thing when fighting a whole group of Nekkers is having the slow-down-time-reaction potion active and killing them when they are mid-backflip.

Witcher 3 has actually overheated my cpu where no total war or xcom 2 has yet. Now it wasnt always that way and i probably need to make sure thermal compound and fans are applied and working properly but honestly if my cpu failed it would be an excuse to replace the oldest parts of my system.

I quite enjoyed the variety and colour of a lot of the armours early in the game. Gearing up my fast attack focused Geralt in a bright aketon, baggy hunter trousers and some purple leather gloves made for a very fun landsknecht-looking sort of character. Feline armor looks nice, but quite muted in comparison. Like Arcsquad12 I'm looking forward to the dyes in Blood and Wine, so I can jazz it up a bit.

Wearing a complete set of flashy armor should trigger an alternate walk mode where you strut in towns, bemoan the peasantry and try to step over the poo poo in the streets. You take on a high pitched foppish accent and you get heckled to gently caress and back by every npc.

CDPR please add a Vlodomir mode toggle so Geralt can switch between running, walking, and strutting around hands on hips like a baller.

So I bought this a few days ago along with the season pass, but is it a better idea just to wait until the final expansion pack is out before starting the game? Its fine if its a yes, I can be patient.

Like, so huge I think it'll take you well past the release date of Blood and Wine to get past level 10 or so, especially if you do a lot of side-quests. Even if you don't and bum-rush the main quest, the game plops you into freeplay mode, which I'm sure you can reach DLC quests and campaigns from.

Novigrad's the area that seems to stress it the most, and that combined with generally short lines-of-sight mean that it's going to probably give your GPU a break.

I've seen a few people talk about some big alterations, but I've not seen anything concrete. I would say go ahead and get started, there aren't any significant changes to gameplay and content from the expansion. They are updating the UI, which has some definite lovely parts right now, but I don't think that's worth waiting. The base game has a solid 80-100 hours of content, I would say just go for it and start in. It is seriously one of the best games I've ever played, the writing and world-building is consistently amazing across a huge open world. The new expansion isn't changing much to the base game and since the expansions are end-game leveled anyhow, you might as well get Witchering!

Most of the good crafters require you to complete a quest to use them, which can have some pretty tough fights. So your armor can be somewhat level-locked, but you might be able to Dark Souls your way through them if you need it earlier.

That's not the griffin set, FYI. I'm not sure what it is actually, but it looks cool. If you want to start planning ahead for the most cool looking armor you can get, this page shows you most of the good endgame stuff and tells you how to get/craft it. I guess it's kind of spoilery if tracking down treasure maps and hunting down rare mats is the kind of thing you enjoy doing for yourself, but if you're like me and find that kind of thing to be tedious busywork, then clicking it will save you some time.

Holy crap Shani's party is weird. I stop by her house one evening and she tells me to go get booze--that we're gonna get together with some creep named Dandelion--and to also invite a friend. I can immediately tell that neither Shani nor Dandelion are my friend because I cannot invite either of them. Zoltan is my only friend, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding him. Great. My biggest regret is that Geralt can't just show up to the party with some random hooker he paid to accompany him. I know you can bring Carmen but that's completely different. It would be a thousand times easier and completely lore-friendly for Geralt to just step outside, point at one of them with a "you", and satisfy Shani's arbitrary criteria. Anyway, so I'm running around the dark streets looking for Zoltan. At some point I return to Shani and she reiterates that I bring a friend and then mentions something offhand about Dandelion, who is still in hiding. She's just sitting in the dark by herself. I decide to meditate at her house until 8 AM, at which point I promptly bump in Zoltan on the street and invite him to the party. "Bring booze," Zoltan demands, almost as if he can tell how horrible it's going to be. So I return to Shani's by myself and find that Dandelion has decided to finally reveal himself--he and Shani are standing on opposite sides of the room. She's basically like, "There he is Geralt, go walk over to him." I felt like I was walking into some kind of trap. I talk to Dandelion, who takes about 30 seconds before launching into some drug-addled hypothetical about vampires, only for Zoltan to show up and hijack the conversation with ramblings about booze. It's not even 9 AM and I'm getting poo poo-hammered without actually seeing Geralt drink.  Then we have a series of borderline non-sequitur conversations, stitched together with really stilted dialogue and camera angles. The whole time I was on edge, expecting Zoltan to cut Dandelion's head off or for Shani to reveal herself as a succubus. I feel like I like Shani about ten times less after this whole experience.

Haha, yeah... there are a few moments in the Witcher 1 that can kinda make you question your sanity. That part is probably one of the worst offenders. I think the cutscene at the start of Act 1 (where the girl and Alvin are getting chased by the dog) is another good one, at least when they get inside the barricades and the camera just cuts around to these various people reacting. It's so drat awkward. Never tried playing with polish voices, maybe it's less awkward there? I liked the Zoltan's voiceactor in 2 and 3 (it's the same one right? Memory's kinda hazy...) but I do remember missing his voice from Witcher 1 when I went into Witcher 2.
