I wouldn't mind a spin-off Ciri action game that plays as a Platinum title. Also a Lambert visual novel.

Man I think it means a lot more that the world is so beautifully crafted that I'd rather ride my horse through it than use fast travel, even if it isn't as big as XYZ or whatever. I think the only time I used fast travel was when I was forced to use it to leave Emyr's castle up to now

Basically Comte's answer was it was a 'no can do' because of scripted events that took place there which would get hosed up or something. So excited for Blood and Wine. Sounds like it's going to be a proper send off for Geralt and Co. The tone suggested for parts of it makes me think it's going feel like Citadel did for Mass Effect 3, a great swansong and a proper ending. Also I'm jealous of your avatar. Pam Param, pam pam Pa ram!

Do y'all meditate p. much after each fight? Riding down a road and stopping to fight some cannibals in the AM, meditating, finishing off the cannibal chief after said meditation, meditating again, flipping some totem poles on the road for an old lady, seeing witch titties in her pocket dimension pool thing at lunch, going to next quest, fighting a water hag for the first time, meditate, etc.

If its to regain health, just eat some food or take a swig of swallow. on the 2 hardest difficulties meditating does not even regen health, and i never ran out of food, despite using it to top off my health whenever i felt like it.

The game is hardest in the early stages while you are still learning the combat and do not have access to witcher gear yet. Are you using the 2 witcher gear swords from the starting zone? If not your swords might be underleveled. Not to be all Git Gud, but maybe practice a bit against some lower level enemies to get the hang of dodging and rolling. One of the most useful tactics is to sidestep towards the enemy, to get behind them as they take a swing, and then wail on them. this works great against many enemies, including humans. Use signs. Quen is a must while learning, as its a free hit. Igni is also very useful, as even unupgraded it sets humans and many monsters on fire, temporarily taking them out of the fight.

Anyone know how much the Gwent Cards and shipping are if you go through http://redeemgwent.com/ ? Debating either buying Blood and Wine digitally and buying the gwent cards there, or just buying it from Gamestop if it's cheaper. EDIT: Never mind, found out. $9.99 plus 2.80 for economy shipping.

Tower of the Swallow (book 4 of the saga) finally comes out in English on May 19th, so I can read that before getting the new DLC. So hyped. Witcher 3 is the best game I've ever played (nothing before came close to Ultima VII) so another 20-30 hours of new content is gonna be awesome.

Oh yeah I'm still very early game. Just doing the "find Elven mask guy with witch chick" quest now. I got the two Viper Witcher swords from the previous area. I've just just hit level 5 and have been fighting up to level 9 mobs so I guess that might have something to do with it. Have mostly been using Puppeteer Axii as my main sign. Not complaining about the meditating, just curious if anyone else did it nearly as much as I do.

There goes the idea for my next playthrough. Get Vlodomir ASAP then play the whole game as Vlodomir, complete with the glasses and rear end ears, strutting into battle with the Wild Hunt with my hands on my hips.

Considering how much fun CDP seems to have with the Witcher universe I'd love to see their take on a Witcher sequel where you can create your own Witcher and take the lore wherever they want.

Given Ciri's scar, hair and general demeanor, and at least one of the endings, I was assuming that CDPR were at least leaving the door open to a sequel involving Ciri as a (well, the) witcher. They'd obviously need to tone down her abilities and presumably it'd be a while, given their other commitments. e: I guess it's unlikely but I liked the game so much I'd love to see some sort of sequel.

They let you play geralt in such completely different ways, its not like it would be a tremendous difference to let the player create the character and let it go from there.

Turdy dumps. Still very excited for the expansion. Have soon caught up with the books, will probably finish Baptism of Fire just in time for the next translation to come out. They are quite enjoyable, I sometimes wish they would have more of Geralt and Dandelion's wacky adventures and less "random guy in the army"-parts though.

A Witcher game starring Ciri that's a universe-hopping adventure based around her Elder Blood powers rather than mutations would be something else. I can dream!

I'd hate to go back to playing another blank slate again. You can't make a player made character with the same sense of history that Geralt has.

Yeah, letting the player create the character would be completely against CDPR's entire philosophy. There's a reason why they didn't make Witcher 3 like Skyrim. I can believe they'll make another game with another witcher but a blank state is something that CDPR actively fought against throughout the series and I HOPE they never do that. There are reasons why TW3 is so much better story-wise than the competition and one of the main ones is having a protagonist with a very specific history.

The correct answer for the next Witcher game is a prequel featuring a young Vesemir as the main character. Learn what's like to be the Dadliest Witcher.

Yeah I agree, you don't necessarily need a character with as detailed a background as Geralt, but a complete blank-slate would lose most of the impact from the dialogue and storytelling. The writing in W3 is great in part because you're working with defined characters. There are fewer options when making decisions, but they're MUCH more meaningful.

I'm currently playing Witcher 3 on a laptop, and getting fine performance for my buck, but I'm really considering building myself a tower. The upcoming GTX 1080 and 1070 cards look seriously appealing, though I think they'd probably be overkill for whatever monitor I'd buy.
