at the date posted:It's only a strange and cretinous minority of Witcher 3 players that insists on playing the game like it's a Bioware RPG whose only meaningful choice is which peppy bisexual party member you bang. True connoisseurs of CD Projekt Red's oeuvre relish even the subtlest narrative flourishes of their magnum opus, such as the little-known side quest wherein its protagonist "Geralt" finds a note on the beach and must swim to a chest located a short distance from shore in order to retrieve the priceless treasure to which the note refers.

fairly early in the game you get the power to absorb enemy hits and heal off the damage, and the healing is actually drastically better in higher difficulties cause of the damage scaling and it kind of made all combat moot. but i was having a better time with the game for it lol since it's not about the fighting as much as it is the writing and exploration.

it's fun killing bandits and stuff but when you start fighting golems and other terrible poo poo and you either spam quen or you die it becomes kind of tedious lol, imo. it's not terrible or anything, wish it was better than 'just serviceable' tho

i read a book at some point in the game that added a "Greater Vampires" entry, the game has big weird bat monsters in it but the greater vamps are the ones everyone's familiar with. i never actually fought one though, is there a quest for it?

something ive noticed is that unlike a lot of open world games this game is very good at starving you for resources. there's no get-rich-quick farming exploit and you're constantly using up materials and monster parts, which entices you to explore and just hit that next undiscovered point to maybe nab some ingredients or a sweet chest armor. it wasnt until very late in the game that i felt i could toss money away on everything and at that point i really felt like i had earned it

goferchan posted:at launch there was an exploit where you could slaughter infinitely respawning cows in White Orchard for their hides and make infinite money. when they addressed it in a patch , the notes just said "Added Bovine Defense Force Initiative" and now a massive overleveled Chort shows up and murders you if you kill too many cows. Also in one of the expansions if you're holding too much money a tax collector shows up and accuses you of "engaging in illegal rawhide trade in the white orchard reigon" or something lol lmao

vaginal facsimile posted:Disagreed, normal is fine. normal is dumb because you're invincible and heal instantly out of combat and don't have to prepare for anything, which is half the fun. very hard is a little insane for most people (you die in 2 hits regardless of armor) but hard felt perfect

i thought the weakest part of the game was easily the talent tree with stupid small +5% upgrades and then on top of that it only lets you 'equip' a handful of your skillpoints lol like cmon

theres no grinding. 80% of your experience is from quests and key actions (blowing up monster nests, killing big baddies) and you also literally find skillpoints as you explore. if you consider exploring and doing witcher contracts grinding idk what to tell you e: oh yospos of course

for a game like this with a billion crafting materials its surprising that its intuitive and organic. missing that one herb for a formula? just go to an herbalist. got a new recipe and it needs a whole bunch of poo poo-all of which i already have cause ive been raiding every house and box stack i see materials can be combined in ways that are logical and easy (2x silver -> silver chunk2x -> silver ingot etc.) and you pretty much almost never have to stop and think about this poo poo. just explore. loot. skins? why would skins be used in alchemy? let me just sell those. sell-only stuff is all filed under junk etc. they went to great lengths to idiot proof some pretty heavy crafting elements

drat you will straight up miss out on poo poo if you're not paying attention. theres a certain quest early on where you need to help with a ghost problem. you talk to the ghost, and they ask you to do them a favor. my first run, something was obviously up so i refused and a boss fight ensued, then it started this whole other chain of events that lead to more exposition and rewards. this time, i decided to just trust the ghost to see what would happen. she murders a dude, quest completed. no boss, no more story, no follow-up quest, just, you did it geralt! :/

goferchan posted:And no I don't think there are special timed hits, but positioning matters a lot. I know you do a shitload more damage to human enemies especially if you can get behind them or beside them (and I'm pretty sure it increases the odds of you pulling off an instant kill?) attacking things in the back is generally smart and i think increases crit chance a shitload. theres a counter you can do on humanoids using block but that stamina is better used on your magic IMO, the counter feels badass though

also yeah white orchard (the starting zone) is a little safe island for you to try out the game's mechanics. i'd advise exploring it though, it's really small and you'll find some reaaaally nice early boosts if you help out the locals. but i think the most dangerous thing in the area is like, a local bear lol

Lunchmeat Larry posted:the arbitrary mobs of random normal-looking enemies that are actually extremely powerful are the worst part of the game but they don't really matter too much if its around guarded treasure or something, i dont mind since the treasure is intended for a higher level character and it'd just sit in your inventory forever anyway. random mobs that aren't guarding anything usually aren't very powerful for the zone they're in. if something is just a few levels above you, you can take them on red skull or not even on hard. if its a boss monster or they have ?? levels thats a different story lol. i love randomly running into a griffin on a hill, he's not guarding any treasure he's just a loving powerful legendary griffin and he likes this drat hill

the weight limit is fine, keeps you from piling up a ton of crap and you can upgrade it a lot very early on. theres "quality of life" mods that make it so that every vendor always buys your stuff for the maximum amount and poo poo like that breaks the game imo, just cheat in money at that point

Control Volume posted:Thinking of difficulty, one of the dumb things I did years ago was install mods before playing a game even once, and there was a highly rated difficulty mod for Witcher 1 that people said made the combat a lot more fun even for newbies. The easiest difficulty had me die a dozen times in the tutorial and changed the starting ghost dog enemies you fight into murdering you if you didnt run away and heal up 10 times a fight all the better balance mods for witcher 3 involve either making you a god with every skill maxed out and selling things gives you more gold than buying them, or it makes it so that you have to be naked with 1 sword or youre over max weight and everything murders you
