Triss objected on the mutagens on her puberty development, but I don't think any known examples of full procedure exist. If schools had their mutagen masters, could be possible.

VanillaGorilla posted:Edit: Nvidia tuning guide is up: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-graphics-performance-and-tweaking-guide For some reason I quite enjoy reading these guides. It's probably because I'm a paid shill for nvidia/CDPR. They're also a really good way to understand what exactly each setting does, I don't think I'd actually get stuff like AO and anisotropic filtering without the visual comparisons.

It's kind of Arkham-y, in that timing is important and button-mashing will put you in a world of hurt. Clunkier and with a steeper learning curve, but that's the general flavor.

Some people have compared it to Assassin's Creed combat and that's not too far off. Instead of a simple counter that one-shots most people like in AC, you have several options that are relatively less lethal. So a fight is more involved but in my opinion you never feel as in control as you could.

 There is no tomorrow. Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:It has elements that appear in Dark Souls (parries, rolls, lock-on, spells, and offensive items) but without the same level of precision. The camera tends to pan around like a character action game and your animations aren't fully predictable. By that I mean sometimes a heavy attack will reach far enough to hit someone, and sometimes a different attack will play for no discernible reason from the same distance and whiff. The Witcher games seem to have this weird thing where the timing of your attack is super duper important (as in, how far through the combat animation are you?). It was everything in the Witcher 1, and it's still pretty important in the Witcher 2 (not as important as "KEEP ROLLING"). Personally, the controls are less responsive than they should be and that impacts my ability to enjoy the combat. I think it's a clunkier, easier version of Dark Souls. Even the bosses live up to the "clunkier, easier version of Dark Souls". Schlesische fucked around with this message at 16:13 on May 18, 2015 |

I think some of the clunkiness comes from the series rewarding you for being proactive, not reactive. Even when you're parrying, ideally it's because you baited the enemy into a swing, not because you just noticed he's already beginning to attack. You can ignore this and slog through, even on high difficulties if you've ground out enough gear, but it'll never shine the way it does if you step back and take control of the battle from start to finish. Not to say there aren't real problems with responsiveness at times (at least in TW2, and reviews are saying it's similar in 3). But if you try to play it just like AC it's going to feel like a worse version of that combat for sure.

Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:
I'm not sure what you're talking about here. I just finished a playthrough of Witcher 2 and I found the animations to be perfectly predictable. You have your Batman style lunge for targets that are a short distance away and canned animations for each step of a combo you're on. I never saw the long fancy animations as the first step of a combo or anything like that.

Schlesische posted:Personally, the controls are less responsive than they should be and that impacts my ability to enjoy the combat. I'm a huge monster hunter fan though, so when I heard witcher was going open world I nearly shat myself. I was never much of a fan of the combat, but playing W2 on higher difficulties and needing to carefully plan things out was great, but ultimately hampered by how closed the world otherwise was. While I don't like Witcher combat, assuming 3 is relatively similar to 2, playing a "resource" or numbers game in the context of an open world high fantasy hunting simulator sounds loving radical. Hopefully I won't have to gently caress too much with plot quest to get access to tons of monster hunts. That's what prevented me from every replaying Witcher 2. gently caress even with the second act being radically different, gently caress it. I don't care about the story, I want to be a badass mutant professional monster slayer!  So... can anyone tell me whether I should get my hopes up, or should I just shrug and deal with what will be an OK plot driven action RPG?

Last wish (book spoiler): Just finished reading this, guessing the implication at the end is that Geralt wished for Yennefer to fall in love with him? ...does she become nicer/a better person as a result? She's pretty awful in this story so can't imagine why I'd pick her over Triss in the game, unless they make you due to the love spell or something. In regards to responsiveness, didn't mind the way sword attacks worked in W2 but had a problem with bombs/spells just fizzling or not going off, sheating/unsheating weapons and the like. Basically if I tell Geralt to throw a bomb I want him to stop whatever he's doing and throw a bomb.

Edit because I can't read: Underclocking is lowering your CPU to speeds below stock (i.e. the exact opposite of overclocking). There's usually not much of a reason to do that (modern CPUs throttle down to save power, anyway), but they did it just to see how well the game would run. They concluded that the game makes really good use of multiple cores, so if you're in the i5 or i7 range you should be fine (even if you have to dial some things down).

I'm not even going to play this on release. I still haven't finished Pillars of Eternity, GTA 5, or the Witcher 2 game that I actually want to import into W3. On that note, is there a save game editor I can use for W2? My second playthrough, the one I want to import into W3, is just at the beginning of Act 3. I'd rather edit my first playthrough to have the choices I want than try to finish the second one while remembering how to not get raped in combat or by that loving dragon fight QTE bullshit.
