Back to on-topic discussion:

So most of the coverage has pointed to two large-scale explorable "zones" after White Orchard: the Skellige Isles, and No Man's Land. I think Comte hinted that there was a third large area that hadn't been showcased yet that he didn't want to spoil - do we have any idea what that is yet? Some other thread on NeoGAF linked to a video that showed that the map for Kaer Morhen looked like it was somewhere close to the size of W.O. Is that the third area? Or is it something that we haven't seen at all yet?

Well with respect to the third area: Kaer Morhen is totally in the game and explorable. There also one other area that was shown in a screenshot that Comte was surprised they put up. Here's a link to the screenshot. It looks like another world/dimension.

What is that horrible fisheye effect on cohh's stream? Is that the motion blur or from messing around with FOV?

This fisheye effect is witcher vision which replaces that "touch medallion, and an orange shockwave makes everything near you orange if you can pick it up" ability from the second game.

Anyone else having weird stutters during the cgi cutscene at the opening and then those stationary card cutscenes. Not sure what could be causing that.

explosivo posted:

Looks like those cutscenes might be pre-rendered, it dropped down to 28fps for me as soon as that scene from the tutorial started.

Oh, I remember having some minor issues with that stuff and MGR:Revengeance too. At least it picks back up afterwords. Sometimes Revengeance would just stay at 24ish fps for some people. Oh well.

e: Also noticed some random stutters on mostly high/ultra on my gtx 970 with hbao+ on but hairworks off. Going to just drop to high/medium foliage distance and see how things work.

Harrow posted:

Is there a reason to import a real Witcher 2 save instead of simulating the choices you made? I'm not really in the mood to comb through all of my Witcher 2 saves to find which one I want to actually import unless there are some special items or something you get for doing so.

Importing is the only way to get the tattoo. Beyond that I think there's a few other things the simulation just skips over that importing saves does not skip.

Graphical stuff like that doesn't bother me at all and I'm happy as long as the game is pleasing to the eyes, and I still think you're wierd for caring so much about tiny numbers that vanish in literally one second.

EDIT: Does it look like we'll be able to completely ignore alchemy/crafting in this like we could in 1 and 2? Not to say I won't try because the system is definitely less terrible now, but I'd like to know if I can just say gently caress it if I get annoyed.

You can probably ignore alchemy on the lower difficulties but if it's anything like the other games alchemy really helps/is necessary on the higher difficulties.

is the witcher 2 poorly optimised or something? i'm playing this for the first time and i'm only getting about 30-40 FPS despite my PC that's probably good enough to run the witcher 3 on decent settings.

i'm running on windows 10 64 bit with an asus x99-a, 16GB of ram, msi 980 Ti, i7-5820K @ 3.3 GHZ and despite any settings, i can't really get a great framerate at all. i've turned off cinematic DOF because that tanked FPS, as well as increasing the limit of vram memory in the user config to 5000, but it hasn't had a massive effect.

That's weird you really Shouldn't be having any issues. Turn off ubersampling if that's on for some reason and also what resolution are you playing it at?

Yeah that's what I'm assuming too. I Should probably grab the season pass since I intend on playing it since Shani shows up. It'll be ahwile though since I'm only 13ish hours in/probably restarting since I forgot how to play the game over the 4 months I wasn't really able to go back to the game.

How'd they nerf Firestream? Just lower burn chance so it can't stunlock anymore?

Part that, part at most you're going to stunlock for 2 seconds. Regular Igni can stunlock more than alt Igni if you're in the griffin set and have that talent.

Both sounds right.

DLC that Olgierd fight while the house burns was hard as gently caress. Having to do the fight a second time because it crashed on the cutscene immediately after the fight sucked though. Wish I knew why the game suddenly likes to crash during cutscenes randomly but it doesn't happen often enough at least.

I've been having the same crashes actually, no idea how to fix it.

Well in my case rebooting the pc has helped. I don't know if it started due to new nvidia drivers, the Windows 10 upgrade without a clean install, the new ram that I can't check with memtest because it won't detect my usb stick or something else. Running the dx installer and vcredist stuff again helped for a couple days but that may have been a placebo.

There's a respec option. The potion costs 1000 gold so you won't be respeccing until later on when you're rolling in crowns but it's an option.

Are you on gog? If so uninstall the gog galaxy overlay DLC. That one can cause crashes when you're in any conversation randomly.

If I just arrived at Kaer Moren how far from the end am I? Not that I'm eager to finish at all, game has been fantastic, but XCOM 2 is next week and I'd like to at least finish the main story before aliens suck away my gaming time.

You're probably halfway through act 2. So like 1/2 or 5/8ths of the way through the main story. Close to 2/3rds through with the game if you did all the sidequests though.
