Magical Zero posted:Is anyone else really struggling with the soft target lock with mouse/keyboard? It seems like the smallest of camera movements will change the target you're attacking, even if the new target is outside your POV. And since every attack has these massively long animations I often find myself jumping in the wrong direction during combat with groups of enemies. It's ridiculously annoying. The hard target lock limits camera movement and visibility too much so I can't get comfortable with it either. It looks like it's the softest of soft locks. Like, you have to aim into the direction of the enemy with WASD on top of being locked on to it. I've thrown many a igni into the opposite direction from the enemy because I was running that way.

Has anyone tried Focus + Adrenaline Burst for a signs build? Is it worth it or am I better off using two more blue skills with a blue mutagen?

I liked it when I tried to get that old woman her pan back and she said "and they call ME kooky" when Geralt was mumbling about clues to himself.

nessin posted:I'll offer a different perspective on the combat, I actually don't see how people can stand to keep the difficult up. I started at the highest and gradually stepped down to story mode. The idea of preparing for each and every fight was great but it gets exceedingly tedious and very little changes. Wraiths for example, even the special contract/named ones, don't really have any significant difference in execution and higher difficulties didn't mean the fight was harder only that I had to spend more time being prepared for the fight. Did I have the absolute highest oil I could get at the time, or was what I had good enough? Did I have a good combination of potions and decoctions lined up, with the skill points invested in my abilities to avoid overdose? Was my gear slotted with the right rune stones and sigils for what I needed in the fight? So on and so forth. I don't prepare at all for fights, sidestepping is usually enough to win anything. And the more you level up, the more OP Geralt gets, no matter what build you have. I couldn't imagine anything but DM once you reach the last tier of whatever ability tree you focus on.

nessin posted:I stopped right about the time I had enough skill points and slots to start combos for stun locks or health regen and I saw the writing on the wall. I guess my point is why bother with keeping the difficulty up once you reach that point? I easily saved myself at least 10 hours, and based on other accounts maybe even 20-30 hours, over the course of the game by dropping the difficulty when I wasn't getting anything out of keeping it up. Even if I did step back on the preparation by the time I was wearing a full set of superior gear with skills to buff regular attacks (on the lower difficulties) I was one shotting enemies rather than spending 60+ seconds dancing around them and chipping away at health without feeling at risk. That is really what confuses me, the idea that the game is "easy" at Death March so you're keeping it that way? Either force yourself to make it challenging or just drop the difficult to you cruise through the easy combat at an even faster pace. It's hilarious to stunlock enemies with your flamethrower who could kill you in two hits. Or having Quen active which absorbs more than 100% of your HP.

You mean using Igni once with 100% burn chance and laughing all day. Didn't know you could throw Dragon's Dream on an already burning fire though, that's hella cool.

BAILOUT MCQUACK! posted:No, they are both the same one I believe I will read their ability closer though and report back. Even so, having a duplicate leader card would be a waste of money correct? The point of leader cards is that you can select one. Yes, they're all called the same but they have different abilities.

Perestroika posted:On the way to the Defender of the Faith quest, right? For something that's supposedly doable at level 11, there sure is a whole lot of really deadly stuff on the road. You can outrun the Griffin if he doesn't land directly behind you and makes Roach's fear level shoot up but good loving luck getting through that village at the chokepoitn with level 25 ghouls in it. And then you circumvent the village and have to fight level 9 guys. I think that's the silliest placement of high-level enemies I've seen all game.

BAILOUT MCQUACK! posted:I guess I never really got a good answer to my initial question though which was how leader cards actually work. You pick one for the deck that is taken out immediately correct? I'm still in white orchard and have only played the scholar who teaches it to you. There's a faction perk (for example, Scoia'tael go first in the first round and the North draws an additional card when they win a round). On top of that, you can play your leader card by clicking it and clicking it again when ti comes up.

Heithinn Grasida posted:I wonder what the game would be like without the bug. The main quests are already much too easy and I can only imagine if I were 4 levels higher, they would be trivial. Yeah you get overleveled really quickly. Vehementi posted:I just wish the high level enemies were actually high level because they're powerful. I should never see level 35 bandits or drowners, or level 3 griffons. But lo and behold, later in the game for plot reasons I'm cutting through swathes of level 30 bandits that could each singlehandedly solve the world's problems and probably take on armies alone. I just wish those high level enemies would just be insanely deadly because they kill you in one hit, not because you almost do no damage to them. If at least my 100% burn chance worked I'd be fine

BAILOUT MCQUACK! posted:That's not what I mean; I am asking a really stupid question that I could probably answer myself which is only one leader card goes into your deck when building one. Its not like randomly drawn at the beginning like normal cards, meaning that having a duplicate of the same foltest leader card is useless. Yes but only if it's the exact same one (same abiltiy). You pick the leader card beforehand, just like you pick your realm, it's not random.

Verranicus posted:I want to do a second run of the game for my youtube channel, but before I started I was curious: What questions exactly are you asked to alter the setting when you choose to simulate a Witcher 2 save? I want to know if I can alter my actual save in any meaningful way or if it's not worth the trouble. It's when you get interrogated by the general before you meet Emhyr. I don't think it affects anything besides which characters show up. poptart_fairy posted:I'm still confused as to how you can accidentally lock off experience rewards from every single secondary quest and contract. Set a flag "don't give XP" because a quest was grey and forget to turn it off afterwards, maybe?

COOKIEMONSTER posted:Because it's a game almost entirely based on how many healers and spies you have in your deck, that has ill defined rules for what you're actually allowed to put in your deck.

sauer kraut posted:Sign intensity numbers are wonky, after loading you pretty much have to re-equip every blue mutagen to get the numbers halfway right. I'm like 90% sure it actually fucks up the calculations. Try to trigger the bug by loading a save and then taking out skills until you are at <100% burn chance for your Igni. It seems to me that's the actual chance, not just a display bug. It's pretty silly but just take out all mutagens and put them back in to fix it every time.
