 WITCHER 3 E3 GAMEPLAY FOOTAGEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr9vH4OVZy0 Presented during Microsoft's press conference, so judging from that and the interface having the relevant controller buttons, this is almost assuredly running off of an Xbox One. WITCHER 3 E3 TRAILERhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtVdAasjOgU The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Killing Monsters trailer YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO WATCH THIS THE REDKIT HAS ARRIVED CURRENT PATCH: FEBRUARY 21, 2013 - 3.3 FOR PC CURRENT NEWS: FUCKIN' REDKIT, BABY [Official site] - You may want to avoid the forums here. Like all official forums, they are... not good. [Good Old Games store page] [Game manual courtesy of Steam] [Previous SA Thread] [Enhanced Edition Launch Trailer - True Hero] - Pretty loving rad. [New Elements Trailer] - Kickass trailer with a brief summary of the new content in the Enhanced Edition. [Enhanced Edition Intro Cinematic] - WATCH THIS [The Story of The Witcher 1] - A surprisingly good recap of the first game. Worth a look. [What is a Witcher] - A neat, informative video of what, exactly, a Witcher is. This and the following video are a good indicator of what the game feels like. [52 and a half] - Nothing to do with the story, really more of a showcase of the RED Engine. Pretty neat, nonetheless. [The Bard: Savior of Queens] - Better than Geralt could ever be. [The Witcher 1 Intro Cinematic] - For completion's sake. [The Witcher 1 Ending Cinematic] - For completion's sake. Why Foltest trusts Geralt so much. [Wiki] [Nexus Modsite] - A word of warning: many mods haven't been updated to work properly with the Enhanced Edition patch.  What is this "Enhanced Edition" nonsense? In May of 2011, CD Projekt RED released The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings on the PC. On April 17, 2012, The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings Enhanced Edition was released on the Xbox 360, and as a free patch on the PC. Like the enhanced edition patch for the original Witcher, the patch brought numerous fixes and gameplay balances, as well as hours of additional content (largely in Act 3, previously a very small, epilogue-like chapter) and an expanded ending. CDPR offers a free backup copy of The Witcher 1 and 2 through GoG if you purchased the game via another method! - [Redemption page] - All you need is your CD key/product code. For Steam users who don't have a key, or if you've lost your key, check the sidebar for a link to further instructions. Do I need to play The Witcher 1 first? The short version is no. While the stories of each game are not entirely self-contained, the Witcher 2 does familiarize you with the characters and events of the first game decently enough. As posted above, this video - [The Story of The Witcher 1] - gives you a good summary, though you miss out on character details. I however do recommend playing the first game - [GoG store page] - but go in understanding that the gameplay is... divisive to say the least, and the game's performance may vary wildly; it was built off of the Aurora engine, which was used for Neverwinter Nights 1 and was showing its age even when Witcher 1 first game out. It's perfectly understandable and no one will look down on you for playing on easy and blowing through the game without challenge. If you do play it, do your best to stomach Acts 1 and 2. They're slow, plodding, and not very indicative of the moral grey areas the Witcher loves to play in. Act 3 and beyond will be sure to captivate you.  I keep dying this game is too hard The biggest spike in difficulty for the Witcher 2 comes from unfamiliarity with the controls and combat systems. There are a couple pieces of advice that will help you to grasp the full breadth of Geralt's arsenal of abilities and equipment. 1: Read the manual! You know how most manuals are totally loving useless nowadays? Not this game! Give it a gander. Free copy can be found here, courtesy of Steam. 2: Do the tutorial! It's short, informative (as how a tutorial should be, but also in how the world generally views Witchers), and actually pretty funny. You won't walk away a master, but you'll at least know how everything works. And don't be discouraged if you get curbstomped by the final waves, I'm fairly experienced at the game and it happens to me regularly. 3: Use Quen. They nerfed it, and it still is the best. Unupgraded, it absorbs one blow. Maxed out, when someone attacks you, they just die. Keep in mind, however, that while Quen is active, Vigor won't regenerate. This can be problematic early on when you have a low pool of Vigor to work with, and with the new Fatigue system, having no-to-low Vigor can significantly impact your damage dealing capability. 4: Don't play fair. I think this is the most important rule to follow. You're almost always outnumbered, but never outmatched. There's a reason you have two swords, bombs, traps, signs, throwing knives, potions, and a deep, sexy voice: you're not supposed to be on an even keel with whatever fool attacks you. Do whatever you can to win, because there is no reward in how you kill them, just that you kill them. 5: There are no wrong decisions! In purely gameplay terms, there are no wrong decisions. In most instances, you're given the same reward, or something comparable, from different decisions to the same question. Only in very rare, and frankly pretty obvious circumstances do you get a straight lesser reward for not selecting a certain response. Dark Mode is not for a first playthrough. On Dark Mode, many things can and will kill you in one hit.  Oh god look at all of these talents I don't know where to put them There's no real wrong way to distribute talents. All of them are useful to some degree. A good start is to cover the basics, what seems like the stuff you absolutely cannot fight without; from the Witcher tree, you'll want the ability to throw daggers and to block arrows. The talent that gives you faster Vigor regeneration is worth putting two points in, as it will give you +1 Vigor, which is invaluable early game. From the swordsman path, riposte and one point in dodge roll (personally, I like putting two points in dodge roll). From the alchemy path, grab the talent that increases bomb and potion strength, and from the mage/sign path, more Vigor and upgraded Quen and Aard. That'll give you a good baseline of power. From there, it's up to you. Again, there's no wrong way to distribute talents. Mutagens You'll notice a little circle next to some of your talents after you invest points in them. That means you can slap a mutagen on it. You'll find mutagens as loot from monsters. Once you slot a mutagen to a talent, you cannot replace or remove it. Therefore, it's recommended that you sell (or use for brewing potions) any mutagen that doesn't contain the Greater prefix to maximize your potential. So what's all this bullshit talk about two Act 2's It isn't bullshit, fake questioner! Depending on your decision of who to side with at the end of Act 1, you'll be taken to two different locations with different characters, quests and motivations that carry over into Act 3! Moreso than other games of this nature, this is a massive reason for a replay. My suggestion is to make a save when you are given the quest entitled At A Crossroads, and stash it away, so when you finish the game you can skip the prologue and Act 1 and simply choose the other side.  Why do a lot of the men in Flotsam not have pants? It's a muggy forest, and a lot of them work in muddy water. I wouldn't wear pants, either. CDPR says it was a bug, one that they refuse to fix because  Personal note I hope to keep this thread updated for as long as interest remains in the game. Hopefully with the release of EE, mod-making will get started back up,  I really enjoy this game, and the developers are classy people, who've done things to support the game and community in ways that other companies would charge for or outright not do.The most important thing is to enjoy the game and bang lots of women, and kill the occasional monster. All of the screenshots (save for deal with it Saskia just above) were taken by me, everything save for ubersampling maxed out. Namnesor fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Jun 26, 2014 |

Mods! While there aren't many, this game is halfway mod-friendly, and some good ones do exist. [The Witcher Nexus] is where we're going for our mods. To repeat the earlier warning: many mods haven't been updated for the Enhanced Edition. But never fear! That's what I'm here for. Most mods go in the CookedPC folder. Check the mod's readme for any specific instructions. Gibbed's RED Tools - This is what you want if you want to get into modding. The Witcher 2 Tweaker - A more-detailed configuration tool. A must have for squeezing out as much performance and quality as you can out of the game.  Recommended! Witcher 1 Final Saves - Self-explanatory. Go ahead and snag one to use for import, there's no harm in not doing so. Savegame manager - While I do enjoy the fact that the Witcher 2 painstakingly avoids overwriting a save file, this means your save folder can balloon up to obscene sizes, and cause performance issues, including lengthening load times. I recommend doing some cleaning when you have 20+ saves. Recommended! Comfy Couch - Increases text size of many elements, most notably the journal, loot tables, quest text, the combat log (thank loving god) and NPC one-liners. First playthrough safe! Recommended! Dynamic HUD - Cleans up the HUD out of combat. I'm a sucker for dynamic UIs and stuff. If you want to use this and Comfy Couch together, Comfy Couch has a dzip with both mods merged. First playthrough safe! Recommended!Simple compilation - A couple of individual XMLs to make Geralt's life a little easier to a whole lot easier. Remove Dark Mode Visual Effects - Personally, a must. The Dark Mode desaturation effect is neat, but really annoying. This slightly alters how the Dark Mode curse and bonus work. Complete Equipment Overhaul - After a first playthrough, this is the most impactful mod you could use. It drastically alters all of the equipment in the game, to give you a more steady, even-handed progression, instead of the sharp spikes found in the beginning and end of each Act. Weightless Recipes and Schematics Plus - Does exactly what it says. First playthrough safe! Reduced-price Dark Mode Items - Reduces the price, both in orens and in crafting materials, of the Dark Mode armor and weapon sets. Even if it's your first time through Dark Mode, I recommend this mod, if only to save yourself the serious tedium of grinding for money and materials. This goes in CookedPC/items, you may have to create the items folder. Increase Geralt's carry weight to 500 - It... well, increases Geralt's carry weight to 500. This is actually quite an easy edit to make. If another mod you downloaded has a geralt_basic.xml, you can change carry weight by editing a single line. Open up the xml and look for under # Various group: code:Retextures For the most part, the retextures available for the Witcher 2 are crap. People with no eye for style and no skill with photoshop doing stupid poo poo like giving Geralt Naruto eyes and poo poo. There are, however, a few solid, if not downright great retextures out there. All of these are first playthrough safe. There's no accounting for personal taste, but I've tried to keep a high standard for quality in what I put in this section. Better Texture Environment - These retextures are surprisingly competent, keeping in line with the original textures' style, and I haven't seen any noticeable impact on performance. At time of this writing, the weapon retextures have not been updated for EE, and cause problems. Return of the White Wolf - Gives Geralt back his milky white hair, instead of the grey he has currently. Slight face lift - Gives Geralt's skin a little more color, and cleans up the huge purple bags around his eyes. This and Return of the White Wolf are hugely recommended, I think it makes Geralt look a lot better. Install this after the above mod. Scabbard re-textures - Some pretty kickass scabbard retextures, really gives them some good flavor. I prefer worn leather. Blue Stripes Combat Jacket - A solid recolor of the Blue Stripes jacket you can get via DLC and Mysterious Merchant. Concept art/trailer Dragonscale Armor - Retextures the dragonscale armor to what we saw in concept art and early trailers. Looks pretty drat good, really nailed the colors.  Tips and Tricks 1) There is a boss fight towards the end of Act 1 that is a total cock your first time around (when it happens is fairly obvious, I'd say, but if you're willing to brave a very slight spoiler, it's when you and Iorveth confront Letho. He has essentially your entire skillset, and his AI likes to abuse it. This is the fight that made me realise how important my earlier-mentioned mantra "don't fight fair" is. There are a couple ways of tangling with this boss: the first is simply using everything you got. Guzzle some potions, sharpen your sword, coat it in oil, load up on bombs and throwing daggers, and get ready for some liberal sign usage. Go for three hit combos, as he will likely parry and counter a fourth hit, and liberally use Quen and dodge roll. I prefer this method because I'm a stupid baby for ~immersion~ and it feels like a more impactful and tense fight. Of course, the easy way is fun, too, because you're basically just giving this boss the finger for five minutes while he kills himself. It requires a bit of preparation, by way of hunting the forest for a bunch of snare traps. When the fight starts, try and get the boss caught in a Yrden, and get to laying snares, then have fun watching the boss get his leg chewed up by a bunch of dumb monster traps. Hey, it ain't honorable, but Geralt isn't a knight. he's a loving witcher and he doesn't care what you think. 2) At times in the story, you'll play a character other than Geralt. Now, in theory this doesn't sound too terrible, 3) A suggestion for quest order early in Act 1. (Minor spoilers)Receive the Mystic River quest by investigating the crashed boat near the kayran investigation site and visit Luis Merse so you can convince him to give you the key to the Royal Post box before visiting Loredo at night. Mystic River also spans multiple acts. In Act 1, when you're told to keep an eye out for more wrecked ships up-river, you've done all you can for that quest in Flotsam. Also in Act 1, it is vital you visit the Blue Stripes house in Flotsam (it's next to the inn, just west of it) and talk to Ves to start an important quest that can have far-reaching consequences to be felt for the rest of the game. No spoiler tags here, just trust me. You'll thank me when it happens. Additionally, there's a quest given to you by a man leaning against a wall on the docks concerning the herbalist in town. Leave this quest for late in Act 1, as the conclusion of the quest unfortunately prevents you from accessing that merchant anymore, and he's a decent source of aether reagents, which can be hard to amass early on. There is another herbalist near the beach in Lobinden, but if you're a potion fiend like I am, it's nice to have both available for as long as possible. 4) Your save folder can and will balloon in size very rapidly. There's a chance you could hit some unknown cap, and even though the game may tell you it saved, new ones won't be generated. This is personal experience, I don't know if it affects others, but the more saves I had, the worse my in-game performance. I recommend regularly going to Documents/Witcher 2/gamesaves and culling the folder. If you have cloud storage activated through Steam, this location is most likely Steam\userdata\(your Steam ID)\20920\remote\ 5) Money can be hard to come by. Dice poker is the fastest, but also the riskiest way to make money, by virtue of the fact that everyone in the world but Geralt is a loving cheater. Fist fighting is decent, tedious, and fairly safe, but slow. Arm wrestling is the safest, but also the least profitable. What I like to do is buy some bait, wade deep outside of any safe zone, and do some good old fashioned monster hunting. Not counting dice poker, hunting is the best way to make money, as you can amass a sizeable chunk of parts to sell. You also get some good witcher fightin' practice out of it. 6) Are you on the PC? Are you struggling to defeat even the weakest of weaklings when it comes to arm wrestling? Well, stop working your rear end off like a stagecoach! Use your mouse, as all you have to do is keep the icon in the zone! It is literally 7.3 times easier with a mouse than a controller. I'll be collecting more good tips to make your stay in the Pontar Valley a little more pleasant.  Vargatron gave us a fantastic write-up for what you should expect in Dark Mode.

Just a heads up for anyone using a 16:10 aspect ratio. Any of the new cutscenes (barring the intro one) won't display and instead only give you a black screen with sound. You'll have to play in 16:9 if you want to see the new stuff. Afaik there isn't a fix or acknowledgement of this bug yet.

What are the bonuses for using Intimidate/Persuasion? I tried Persuading those guys in the intro to start down that path, but it's never stuck, and since I end up going Magic every game anyway, the Axiii trick usually works much better for me. Just curious what kind of buffs I'm giving up in the process, since the +5 Sign Strength is actually really nice.

Rookersh posted:What are the bonuses for using Intimidate/Persuasion? Axii dialogue is the only one that unlocks a bonus ability. Persuasion and Intimidation options don't confer any bonus abilities but in some convos you'll only be able to use 1 or 2 of the options. In a lot of convos in chapter 2 & 3 I only had the option to use Intimidate but its possible there are some hidden checks that determine which option is available to you. Axii Chat: For those of you who've made it this far: Act 3 Iorveth's Path EE-added quest spoilers ahead: Towards the end of this quest you have a conversation with a Golem and one of the dialogue paths allows you to try an Axii on him. I reloaded my save 5 times to try and get the successful outcome but every time my attempt failed (the Golem says something like a witcher should know that simple charms don't affect him). Has anyone been able to pass this check? . I've already beaten the game but something in me really wants to know if this particular dialogue check is just a red herring.

I really think a "Weightless everything minus weapons/armor" should be added to the OP. Ingredients and such that you're supposed to horde for the whole game quickly take up too much weight, especially things like iron.

It's compatible, I loaded a late-game save from around 4 months ago just to get into a random fight and see how exactly parrying and quen had been changed. Controller/Keyboard chat: I tried using my gamepad for the first time today, some parts of combat, dodging in particular, felt slightly easier, but targeting felt a little weird. It'd probably be slightly better on the whole once I got used to it, but I don't think using a controller for everything that isn't combat is worth it. And it's not like anything feels bad by any means with a mouse and keyboard.

They don't go through with the whole "everything must be oversized" Dungeons & Dragons aesthetic that's become massively overdone in anything that takes place before the 1800s in games now. They make everything look like people could live in a lot of stuff and it makes the fantasy stuff stand out better while making a world that feels like it could exist Also, I'm thinking of turning off in-game AA to fix the shadow visuals issue. I'm talking about those weird hash mark looking shadows. Is there an issue with forcing AA temporarily while playing through the control panel on an ATI card?

Loredo is a fat gently caress but those clothes make him look good anyway.

Sputty posted:They don't go through with the whole "everything must be oversized" Dungeons & Dragons aesthetic that's become massively overdone in anything that takes place before the 1800s in games now. They make everything look like people could live in a lot of stuff and it makes the fantasy stuff stand out better while making a world that feels like it could exist Well it's a low fantasy setting hence the more realistic weapons and other details.

I personally like the outfit Foltest wears. Snappy dresser, charismatic as hell, loves loving way too much. He's basically Witcher-verse Bill Clinton! I just did the opening fight again (Did not feel like starting from my pre-EE saves). Did my game do somthing weird, or did they suddenly give you the Blue Stripes Jacket? Also, did they make that segment with capturing the ballista easier, or is it just me getting back on the combat bike, so to speak?

Coughing Hobo posted:There's so many elements of the design of this game that get me riled up in a good way. At its most basic level it's how practical all of the outfits are as clothing. They're sufficiently fantasy, to be sure, but they're practical. It's stuff that you see and think "yeah, people would wear that." I loving love this kind of poo poo. Nothing breaks immersion for me quicker than having to nitpick about seeing a soldier pull a sword out of his crotch.

Personally the game seems to be much easier now than when it first came out.
