From reading the way that some of you were searching for superior oils, is it weird that I'm well into DLC quests yet am still to find some of the basic oils? I never found the beast oil for example. I played a good amount of the side quests and found lots of POIs.

I played through the entire game with default bindings on Deathmarch, you just kind of get used to it. Least I did. I dunno I also play a bunch of games with a steam controller so I may just be able to put up with a lot of bullshit.

I genuinely think the steam controller is the best option with this game :blush:

While I'm at it, what is the difference with normal and alt movement?

Also, if you do go see him - the whole soul crushing scene where guy counts out the coin? lol if you don't think Emhyr planned the whole thing to make Geralt look as bad as possible in front of his daughter. What a dick!

You can refuse the coin and turn it into one of those events that Siri remembers fondly for the finale. She grabs and tightly holds Geralt's hand behind his back as he says that he didn't do it for the money.

More importantly, you also get Roach v2.

What does this entail/mean exactly? I was told I should download whichever free DLC drops the level of the cool cave armors from 11 to 8, literally the only thing bad about the Witcher 3 is that Skyrim vibe where I go "it's too big there's too much I don't want to break anything so I won't play today"

The two paid for DLCs are\will be balanced for after main story level Geralt. New Game + is balanced for after that. If you're planning to play Blood & Wine on NG+, just be aware that you'll need to have essentially played through the game and Heart Of Stone twice to be ready for it.

So someone was saying the one thing they wish that The Witcher 3 had after the big patch\B&W release was that they could transfer their gog version to Steam. I went, 'pfft that'll never happen', then, days later:

Check your video settings - the patch reset my config.

Has anyone been experiencing a crash since 1.22 came out? I'm not using any mods etc and the game has always run fine when I played around half a year ago. I can play for about half an hour and then the thing completely freezes, other than the audio, which will play sounds as if the controls are still being received. Drivers etc are up to date.

Yep, a 970 GTX - it being an old bug would make sense in that I only seem to be getting results from over a year ago when googling about it. I'm all patched up from GOG Galaxy though, with all the DLCs.

I think that problem was related to the Nvidia streaming service, which is active regardless of whether you actually have a device that uses it or not. Try stopping the service and seeing if that helps with the crashes.

Holy poo poo. I disabled this crap for unrelated issues ages back. Looks as if the recent Win10 service pack reenabled it. Thanks, hopefully that's done the job.

My character in The Wild Hunt is only level 20, grew tired of the game on Skellige last year but I'm interested in playing the expansions.

Is there a really quick way to level/cheat my way to the 30s? Would I miss out on anything by just starting a new character for the expansions? And is it recommended to have finished the story in W3 before playing them?

There's an option when starting a new game to have an expansion only character, provided you have at least one of the expansions, natch.

There's some dialogue differences depending how how far along, or what choices were made in the main plot but nothing major.

I'm currently going through a 2nd run with the intention to do several of the major choices differently, but I'm not sure I can go over to team Triss. She's just a bit... annoying.

It feels similar to when I try to do an evil run of an RPG and I can't bring myself to murder the children. I can't break Yen's heart.

1.30 seems fine from what little I've played, but at first I thought they had severely nerfed alchemy: Acquired Tolerance was just flat out not working. Thankfully deactivating it and reenabling it fixed the skill. I ended up doing it to every skill I had just in case the others weren't working too but were less obvious.

El Hefe posted:

After installing 1.30 on PS4 talking to anyone in Novigrad is a pain in the rear end because it loads and loads and it takes forever between conversations, also the bank dwarf now has no forearms just two floating hands wtf.

I've not used a Playstation since the PS1, but does it have a Steam-like 'verify files' type function? The bank dwarf got an entirely new model, so it sounds like files are just flatout missing or corrupted.

I killed the ones who were semi-holding the cobbler chap on my current 2nd run through, as I'm going down the alchemy route and needed troll livers. Sorry.

edit: I was told off by the cobbler (not Adam Sandler) by going "bleedin' bloody bloomin' 'ell, you didn't need to bleedin' bloody kill 'em!" if that makes it any more tolerable.

The main cast animation is great, sure, but many incidental NPCs and quest givers have the usual bland fantasy rubberman look. Great also sometimes seems to be randomly moving his face about as if he'd double dropped.

So I just finished my replay of the main quest in prep for the DLCs and not much to my surprise, I ended up going for roughly the same choices all over again. I felt like I was correct the first time around and wasn't going to be a wrong Geralt for any epilogues from Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.

The ending I got, the correct one, is still wonderfully handled and bitter sweet. The gentle hunt through the snow with Ciri acting all distracted, only to say farewell as she's being escorted off to her future. This is the correct ending, as you're supposed to be backing her as an independent woman throughout. Hiding that her real father wants to speak to her is deceptive at best. In the end she has all the facts and makes her own decision. Also, I know it's been discussed recently in the thread, but CD Projekt really know how to frame a scene - plenty of nice camera angles throughout the epilogue.

Onto the master of mirrors.

People seem to love the Witcheress Ending. I don't get it - I wouldn't wish a witcher's life on anyone.

I get why - it's a more obvious happy ending. Geralt and Ciri stay together, go on adventures. It feels false to Geralt's world though. Having said that, I happily went for the falseness of shacking up with Yen but then she's hot.

A few things I liked while playing through:

1. The mind control sign for special dialog options (typically win button, but....)

2. The alchemy poison enemy with corresponding oil one.

3. The food lasts for 20 minutes one.

4. The one that upgrades the slow trap in the first level/or the melt armor from Igni.

Basically don't worry about synergy and just pick based on your play style. Your choices don't affect your general effectiveness such that you won't be able to get through the game.

I'd argue that 1 & 2 are trash - any situation that requires the mind control sign can easily be resolved other ways. I don't think there's any story differences at all that benefit from it. Food is hugely plentiful so you don't need to draw any particular item out. For more serious injuries you'll be using Swallow anyway, an essentially bottomless health potion.

Other opinions are of course available, but I'd say don't worry about it too much. Pretty much every build becomes overpowered fairly quickly and if you really want to respec, there's a number of vendors that sell a potion that lets you do just that. It sounds as if you're going for a pretty solid build with the fast attacks paired with light armour.

MrJacobs posted:

20 min food eliminated the need for having swallow in your quick slots, lasts a fuckton longer, and actually makes trash food you find later in the game useful. I reccomend it if you are not a dodging savant. Be warned that brown skills dont have a corresponding mutagen for super retarded buffs.

Valid point - though also I can't help but feel the brown skills are a waste for the reason you describe and you're not building towards unlocking a higher level of skills in the red, green and blue categories.

With my current alchemist build, I've got the skill that lets you heal from all potions so I'm barely touching food and almost never Swallow.

I've set the left trigger full click to activate gyro mode for aiming crossbow/bombs manually and it's improved my life dramatically. Not to mention having dodge/roll on the back paddles.

I'm using one of the top suggested configs that has the inventory and map on the paddles and quick save on pressing the d-pad, with the mouse-like joypad camera. Gyro-aiming is great in other games, but I'm not really one for the crossbow in this.

The Blood & Wine tourney horseback fight is utter bullshit. Only time in the game I've felt something was badly put together. I keep getting hemmed out of the arena by the opponent, which counts as me running away. When that isn't happening, we're both flailing our swords at each other and completely missing.
