I thought I'd go back to my old save and amend my decision to kill the assassin at the end, only for whatever reason, I can't talk to him. the prompt comes up, i hit left click, and nothing happens. Prompt disappears and that's it.

Any ideas of the cause and how I could fix it?

And yes this does have implications. When pc gamers are wondering if they should upgrade for the best experience and they can run it with the best settings with a GTX 570, and it equals a console. Also, I have a choice between my PC and a ps4, chose the pc and was going to bring this into my theater for the effects I saw with in game footage from 2013, now knowing I could have just bought the ps4 version instead. We are all buying it anyway but this is pretty loving stupid.

If you care, you're an idiot. Hth.

Honestly, if the only thing giving you trouble or causing you ~moral outrage~ in your life, is that a video game might like slightly worse than it did when it was first revealed, you've got a pretty cushy life and should probably just stfu about it.

Shut up you entitled babies your opinions are absolutely irrelevant.

Yeah we can call it: "Witcher 3 thread: Lets Viral this into oblivion."

Let me clue you in pal. The sales are fine. The sales in the two week launch window won't slow down. The 3rd party fucks posting in this thread to deflect honest criticism of how the PC launch is being handled can rest assured the sales are in tact and still have over 1 million preorders cross platform.

How about we ban all viral marketers so we can acknowledge downfalls made by a company, which is still a good company and made a mistake here by not informing PC gamers by what was going on long before hand, get the gently caress over it with a lot of folks by acknowledging the gently caress up instead of scapegoating it, and enjoy the game regardless and hopefully correct it for the future.

Watch out. One may have to acknowledge a gently caress up and be honest with customers buying a product. But those entitled bitches should shut the hell up and be thankful those developer Gods decided to glorify us with their game while they take our money as paying customers of a product.

Welcome to the first person who's made it to my ignore list outside of Auspol in five years.

That kid took some of his money and bought a game called Alien Colonial marines.

Why?

Because I was sitting there watching that movie with him and he loved the thing. His favorite part was when they set up the automatic machine guns and they went off and he knew when the guns were going off by looking at the counter tick down.

Aliens obviously.

He spent the money he got from this very site to buy that game. It was a horrid broken mess as we all know. And he wanted to buy it and I insisted that I do it for him and he insisted no, he was going to buy it because there were great internet people that helped him and it he wanted to let them know he had fun and spent that 40 bucks wisely so I made him a steam account, he downloaded it, and I bought him a nice gaming laopop to play it on since he was in his bed.

The game crashed constantly. Completely bug ridden as I found out later, and then knowing later through my contacts that the company... gently caress it.

This kid looks up to me and says, "This game doesn't work that well......" I tried to fix the computer, over and over, I gave him 5 laptops, nothing changed it. He said, "The movie was better I think".... And All I could think of, was that gently caress, ********* covering his rear end while he was being sued by ******** for 3rd party, yes.... what a mother loving bastard.

But those ads were awesome. You looked at the screen on the TV and you can sucker those casuals into buying your product or those moms and dads without thinking twice.

9 weeks later, that kid died.

You can see from why I am so adamant about being ethical when it comes to these games? Honeslty, no internet poo poo, have you ever had to explain to a kid that had some funds to spend to help him out and make him smile, and loved a game that oh well, "Those publishers suck I guess, lets go call it a life!"

Yeah some may think I am nuts. How about owning up to your product and not being an unethical gently caress. Has that ever once entered some minds.

Witcher 3 will be fine. What got me was the usual defense of obvious bullshit deflection.

Let me clue you in developers. We don't owe you poo poo. We bought your product, and sometimes off false promises and unfinished product. The hell you loving say we are entitled for feeding YOUR family. Get off your loving high horses and realize that false advertising is bullshit, and all your viral garbage will not make a few decent people go away.

Doesn't matter to you. You made your cash.

We need to print this out because it belongs in a loving museum.

Is there an easy place to get mods? I've not played since before the first expansion and thinking of starting a NG+ run.

I had a game that was completd prior to the expansions coming out.

The mod post in the 2nd post is very outdated, a good chunk of these mods either no longer exist OR haven't been updated for the most recent version of the game.

A lot of new people are playing this game for the first time and the question of mods keeps coming up. Although there is a list of mods in the second post of the thread, it's a bit outdated now. I've created a new mod list of most of the ones I use, which includes links and brief descriptions.

Please see below:

---

Firstly, you're gonna need the Script Merger (https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/484) because mods aren't inherently compatible with each other. It can resolve most conflicts but you're going to have to manually resolve many on your own. It often requires a lot of trial-and-error, so good luck. You can find tutorials in the link.

Many of the most popular mods include versions that are either compatible or pre-combined with other popular mods, so make sure to look out for those to make your life easier.

Secondly, get The Witcher 3 Mod Manager (https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2678) for an easy way to activate/deactivate your mods.

Thirdly, install the Unification Patch (https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2134). This standardizes the game and makes it compatible with mods.

Now, you can start downloading mods. I recommend the ones listed below.

Gameplay:
- Better Parries: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1698 Allows you to parry/riposte attacks from enemies that would normally break your guard and stun you. Geralt will instead perform a quick evasive attack that he normally reserves for certain types of monsters. Also, lore friendly .
- Better Torches: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1990 You can perform more actions with a torch equipped.
- No Skill Restrictions: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2207 Allows you to level up any skills in a given tree without unlocking the earlier tiers. Makes gameplay more interesting and enables more specific character builds.
- TW3 Gameplay Tweaks: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2205 Contains about a dozen minor gameplay tweaks to make the game more playable. You can pick and choose which ones to install. I recommend the following: being able to jump in water, being able to jump and sprint when using witcher senses, no falling damage, igni destroys monsters nests, no gear level restrictions, and no zoom when using witcher senses. NOTE: Don't download "Fast Travel from Anywhere". Just don't.

Immersion:
- Fix for Lab Music: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2165 Fixes the music for a certain cutscene that fails to play in the default game.
- Friendly HUD: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/365 A huge overhaul of the HUD that allows for a more immersive playing experience and includes a bunch of quality of life options. If you're willing to take the time to set it up, you can customize it to suit your preferences.
- Friendly Meditation: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2067 Makes meditation an in-game action rather than a menu option. Really impressive and lets you appreciate the world that much more. Also includes a lot of customizable options for things that are connected to meditating (e.g. refilling potions).
- Lightsource Yrden and Igni: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2853 Yrden and Igni create light in the darkness. Makes the game more cinematic.

Quality of Life:
- Auto Apply Oils: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/625 Automatically applies the appropriate witcher oils whenever you enter combat with an enemy if you have that oil available. NOTE: If it is your first time playing, you may want to wait until you earn the "Even Odds" achievement before applying this mod, as it will prevent you from earning it.
- All Quest Objectives: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/943 Shows all of your quests on the map, rather than only the active one.
- Disable Storybook Intros: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/816 Disables the recaps that play whenever you load a save. Saves you a good couple minutes of unskippable cutscenes everytime you start playing.
- Merged Free DLC - Mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/3334 There is a set limit for the number of mods you can install. Under normal circumstances, this won't affect most people. But if you're like me and you have a lot of mods running, this mod can increase your limit by merging all of the free DLC that comes with the game into a single file.
- More Quick Slots and Quick Inventory: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1221 Exactly what it says on the tin. Gives you another bunch of quick slots and allows you to quickly access your inventory from the signs menu.
- No Time for Gwent: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2060 Controversial, I know, but allows you to instantly win any gwent match by pressing a button. Ideal for subsequent playthroughs where you want to complete the gwent sidequests but have gotten bored of the minigame.
- The Gwent Card Dealer: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1054 As above, potentially controversial, but ideal for subsequent playthroughs. Makes one of the vendors in Crow's Perch sell every gwent card.
- Sort Everything: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1710 Provides you with options to sort your item menus.

Graphical/Misc:
- Better Icons: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1701 Just what it says, better icons (e.g. more legible icons) for your equipment.
- Lore Friendly Ciri: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/685 Slightly changes Ciri's makeup. There's also an option to darker her hair (to ashen rather than white) but I don't use that one.
- No Artificial Player Light: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2414 Removes the lighting that follows Geralt around, especially in interior environments. Makes exploring a little bit more interesting (now torches matter!) and removes the changes in lighting in buildings.
- Toxicity - Clean Face and Screen: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/254 Removes the green screen effect and toxicity veins on Geralt's face from imbibing too many witcher potions. Can be customized so you only remove the green screen but not the veins and vice-versa.

Overhauls:
- LEGO - Loot Economy Great Overhaul: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/3369 Overhauls the loot and the economy of the game. You no longer need to go searching through the peasants' houses for junk to sell, the shopkeepers sell things at reasonable prices, there is a sense of balance with the items and weapons you can find, witcher contracts become even more important as a means of earning money, etc. Everything is scalable and customizable so you can adjust it to your liking.
- Ghost Mode: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/992 I would reserve this mod for a second playthrough. Overhauls all gameplay to make it more difficult (watch out for insectoids!) while also changing many parts of the game to make it more immersive, balanced, and interesting. Everything in it is customizable as well so you can change things to your liking This is a popular mod so many of the other mods are compatible with it. NOTE: consider downloading a mod that allows you activate all the skills you have unlocked without needing to equip them if you’re like me and insist on playing on Ghost Mode’s Death March. You’ll need it.

Thanks for this.

Is the Witcher Mod manager more user friendly then Vortex? I was able after some hassle to get all the mods I wanted loaded, and eventually found out how to load mods manually into vortex.

I've never used vortex so I can't comment on differences, but MM seems very easy?

The Merged free DLC mod has been deprecated due to locating the system limitation on amount of DLC.

I'm considering installing ghost mode but it's not compatible with LEGO.

I also saw FCR being a requirement of one of the mods but it is also incompatible with some of the other mods and merging scripts doesn't fix it, so LEGO is mutually exclusive with some of the other mods.
