Utnayan posted:It isn't that they shouldn't have released that in game trailer in 2013, that is what they were developing before knowing what the Xbox one could handle and needed to go common denominator design. What they should have said after that was they were doing that, and while it will still run at faster frame rates and higher resolutions on high end pc's, do it expect volumetric effects, distance viewing, or the other five things that were cut. The developer in that articl makes it clear that they knew about this but didn't want to call attention to it. Why the gently caress not? The dev house is loved anyway and would have been loved even more had they been transparent about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9xeU-21WQM

I've noticed that (on PC wired x360 controller) when I'm in the inventory holding LT to compare items, if I hit B to exit before releasing the trigger the game will freeze every single time. So Comte, you can put that one in the next patch I guess. Otherwise holy poo poo this game owns so hard

I can't decide how I feel about changing the way you get more potions. Not having to worry about hoarding materials for Swallow potions is swell, I guess. But not being able to make more without meditating feels odd to me. I mean, you only have to meditate an hour, but it still feels off, somehow.

GarethIW posted:Did everyone else get a green (alchemy) mutagen from the White Orchard boss? I see a lot of people talking about putting points in other trees, but having an alchemy mutagen makes me want to start going down that path to make the mutagen worth it. If that mutagen is always the first one, it's kind of a clever move as I would probably never think about spending points in the alchemy tree otherwise Most of those boss mutagens can also be used for decoctions, I'm pretty sure they're static. e: PirateBob posted:Running a i5 2500k and a gtx 660 and getting somewhat less than satisfying fps, no matter if settings are on Low or on Ultra...

No Mods No Masters posted:One tip I saw on Kotaku but haven't had the guts to follow up on myself is that if you drop items on the ground they never go away. If that's true you can just pick a signpost as your stash and drop everything there to unfuck your inventory. Pretty clunky but supposedly it works so far as the writer could discern. I have, several times had the game crash in inventory not long after picking up something cool. I mentioned it earlier, it's when I'm holding down LT to examine and press B to exit before letting off the trigger. If the game had just saved at a checkpoint and loot was on the ground, that loot would be gone when I reloaded. So like, kill a big monster, pick up the trophy, go into inventory to inspect it, crash, reload post kill checkpoint auto save, loot is disappeared forever. So take that kotaku advice with a grain of salt.

Pole of Mars posted:How exactly do you get the Frenzy skill to trigger in the alchemy tree? I can't make it work. Is that the slowdown one? It only triggers from the counterattacks, like when you hit a wyvern or griffin and they cover themselves with their wings then snap at you quickly. It's really pronounced when it happens; I've seen it with big hybrids, draconids, elementals, and some of the more robust necrophages.

Ravenfood posted:Alchemy is very worth it even if you don't invest in the skill trees for it. That is also worth it, by the way, but so far all the skill trees seem to be pretty good. Decoctions are where it's at, combined with the talents that increase your toxicity ceiling based on how many recipes you own. I've got a decoction that gives me health on hit, one that increases my maximum health with each kill, and one that gives me damage resistance every time I take damage. There's a ton of other ones too that give awesome and powerful combat advantages, alchemy owns.

Hey man, I'm a legit bleeding heart liberal IRL; but the Northern Kingdoms are a nightmare shithole full of horrible horrible poo poo people.

And given that (ending spoilers) Ciri can end up Empress, I think that might be able to actually happen one day.

It says so much about the quality of the writing in this game that we can have this hyperbolic discussion. It doesn't matter who comes out on top, everyone has suffered, everyone will continue to suffer, and life will still be the worst nightmare ever for the peasants, for the rest of their lives. Geralt can not make things better. He might be able to save a life, but how many have to die for them to live now, and how many more will die because they lived? He might be able to slay a monster, but what about the person who loved that monster when they were human? He might be able to pave the road for someone to take a throne, but what horrors will the wreak on their subjects to consolidate their power?

Bort Bortles posted:In some of the letters I have read (I think the one to the Bloody Baron for sure) they are signed by a Nilfgaardian who is in command of their "Army Group Center" which is a Nazi Germany thing (they not the only ones to ever use the term, but definitely the most well known), so I have to wonder... I think it was Army Center Group Command; the Nilfgaardian invasion is three pronged and the arm in the Velen region was the "Center" group. It's also a location you can go it, in the SE of the map; it even has a notice board.

How are people eating food or re-applying oils in combat? When I try to use an oil from inventory in combat it says "cannot do this during combat", same with food whether it's hotkeyed to the D-Pad on my controller or I try to use it out of my inventory.

I don't know why everyone has so much trouble with the dodging. When I hop dodge sideways right as the attacker's health bar flashes red the combat log shows "<attacker> hits Geralt for 0", without the "no damage during dodges (presumable for rolling?)" ability equipped. Basically, when I get surrounded by Nekkers or Drowners or other fast things I hop dodge until I'm on the periphery of the group, roll dodge away, then drop Yrden to slow them as they come at me. Then I dodge to the side as the nearest one leaps to attack, cut it down in the air, and keep dancing sideways along the outside of the Yrden cutting poo poo up.
