DOUBLE-TAPPING A DIRECTION DODGES

The Insect Court posted:Learning the combat mechanics means getting sidestep and dodge timing correct. Precise positioning is less important. For example, the easy way to deal with shield carriers(other than axii to stun for a quick kill) is to sidestep around them when they swing at you, which leaves you behind them where they can't block. Get a few hits in, repeat. You also shouldn't rely on parry for monsters. It's useful on humanoids and a small number of armed monsters, defense is really all about dodge and sidestep. You can't parry (and probabaly can't counter) heavy attacks, which includes things like the drowner lunges etc. Apart from that, almost everything else can be parried - wolf bites, drowner claw combos, arrows.

I didn't see it in the OP but is there a list of Witcher 2 choices that matter in Witcher 3? I read somewhere that most of them don't actually matter at all; at best one or two NPCs show up for like one quest if they lived, or don't show up if they died, and that's about it. To be fair that's about how it worked with Witcher 1 -> Witcher 2.

Demiurge4 posted:Okay so I'm missing a few normal versions of a bunch of potions and bombs and have no idea where to find them. I have the enhanced and superior recipes for them and I'm wondering if maybe I missed the recipe's in a dungeon or a merchant somewhere. I originally assumed they were random drops but I've stopped seeing any schematics a long time ago, are they in White Orchard somewhere out of the way? The place linked in this video should have all of the basic recipes you're missing, if I'm not mistaken.

How do I get a Monster Lair to turn grey on the map? I thought I might have had to loot everything and then it would go, but I've been through it with a fine-toothed comb and it's still white. Annoying.

You need some bombs that can destroy monster lairs (Grapeshot and another one can, IIRC) and a trigger should appear when you're on top of the lair. Geralt drops the bomb in there and you can loot the nest afterwards. I don't think that you need to have bombs available in your inventory (it doesn't spend one of your two bombs if you have them).

Most bombs can destroy monster lairs, although with some you need to upgrade them first.Broken Cog posted:Btw guys, never try to use Axii on people when you're talking to a group of two or more, they'll notice what you're doing. I've only ever had it fail on a group once, and they were witch hunters. I have the mind control skill fully upgraded though.

So I spent a good part of last night playing this game. I agree with those who say that the combat is very good but that Geralt's clunky movements are a big problem. It is a shame because that one issue is causing a good combat system to feel much worse than it actually is. I hope they do something about it in a patch.

I was struggling a lot with the combat on the broken bones difficulty. Mainly I was frustrated because it's different enough from witcher 2 to give me a hard time but once I started dodging properly and have some skill points invested in some worthy stuff, combat feels really good if still quite hard against the more demanding opponents. The only time I've felt hamstringed not by my own lack of skill but by the mechanics themselves is when Geralt will sometimes randomly sheath his sword when I don't want him to.

I also agree that difficulty on Broken Bones lightens up a bit once you have points in the right places. Things like improving your Quen and getting damage reductions on your quick step dodges.

I just started playing this game last night, and I'm having a problem. Sometimes during dialogue sequences, my game will suddenly minimize, so I'm just at my desktop staring at the icon on my taskbar. Any attempts to maximize it do nothing, and I have to close it through task manager (where it shows up as not responding.) In the roughly 2 hours I've played, this has happened 5 times, always in the middle of a conversation. I feel like any time I talk to someone, there's a 50/50 shot that I'll end up having to restart the game and do it all over. Can't really keep playing like this, obviously. Any suggestions or ideas, or should I just wait for a patch or two? Sorry to poo poo up the thread with tech support, but I've had no luck googling for a solution.

I'm going to spoiler this for safety's sake, but it was shown and discussed pre-release so it's not a spoiler regarding anything anyone who was in on the pre-release things at all. Playing as Ciri is ridiculously cool and she's got an awesome character. I'm hoping, probably in vain, that you can choose to play as her whenever once you've found her.

I found a steel sword that has +10% chance to stun that somehow bugged to actually have a 100% chance of stun, (possibly having something to that I socketed it with a bugged +0 damage rune), so merely tapping enemies with it causes me to instagib them them with epic takedowns en masse.

As a result of a quest on an island near Fyke Isle? If so, I think I got that sword too and it's bugged for me aswell. It's the best sword I have so I don't want to stop using it but it's kinda cheap.
