I just got to Skillege after basically completing EVERY side activity in Velen/Novigrad and holy poo poo, theres a lot to do here to. I can feel my interest draining, I am thinking about skipping a lot of side content. If I do end up skipping some of it, what are the level requirements to finish the game? Whats a good level you kind of need to be around?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, you have to walk a decent distant away, save and load, and there should be ghouls there. If it still doesn't clear, repeat, and there should be a straggler ghoul there.

Does anybody else think that the wind is waaay over done? The game is supposed to have several weather conditions, but all I've experiences so far are "windy" and "very windy"

Seems CDPR messed up and DLC armor/weapons and NG+ is currently incompatible.

The northeastern part of Velen also contains a lot of new buildings, though most of it is gated behind the "end of the world, turn back" message. I assume it opens up when Heart of Stone is released.

Anyone here played the latest metal gear? Good pickup for someone who liked W3?

They changed it from first quarter of 2016 to first half of 2016 a little while back. Wouldn't hold my breath for 2-3 months, maybe 5-6.

This is not true and not fair to use as a blanket statement some people simply DONT GIVE A gently caress what anyone thinks and give no shits about the story. I play the game to kill monsters and watch heads splatter on the ground. I skip dialogu and spam E on notice boards and dont read anything and im enjoying the game just as much as you did. I actually hate dialogue/stories in video games, give me a book or something for a real story, I just cant care about the story. Especially in novigrad, loving dandelions quest which takes like 2-3 hours to get through is a loving slog and the dialogue is terrible.

go watch the play in novigrad and tell me how good the dialogue and voice acting etc, is, yeah they are takign the piss somewhat, but its so awkward and lovely. A lot of it is lovely and awkward. Love the gam but that is not a high water mark. Geralt is good pretty much consistently but a lot of the other poo poo is just fillter and half the npcs are obnoxious as gently caress.

hey goons am i being weird or does e3fx look like butt.

is there a better shader i can use? preferably something that's drag and drop, witcher modding is byzantine enough i want to keep it simple as possible

I found it great except for fighting sirens on cliff faces and similar situations (and outside of combat, anything remotely "platformy" was pretty finicky).

Sorry, but no, its not. If i wanted to go play magic i would do so. It's tacked on, makes no sense in the in game world, and takes far too long. At least dice poker made sense in the world. The humor of geralt walking around with pokemon cards notwithstanding.

You're almost always going to be overleveled for some of your quests. Just have a nice relaxing time doing the quests and slaughtering some noobs with ease for a while.

You're about halfway through the main quest, maybe about 60% depending on if you already did all the recruiting in act I.

Don't sweat about greyed out levels, your main source of xp is the main story and that will always outlevel you for the other content. Just do those side-quests for the stories. It's a shame they went with the idea of greying out though as it feels like you hosed something up as a player or that you shouldn't bother with the quest anymore and there's no reflection of that in actual gameplay.

Wait what you need to be level 60 for Blood and Wine?

Doesn't the gear only scale up to level 30ish?

Might be coming out June 7th.

So you might get to play a patched version of the thing as soon as you return from a nice vacation? That sounds quite nice, I see no downside.

Such as? Also, wouldn't the Skellige missions be seriously over leveled for you? Or does that change with new game plus?

EDIT: I've decided to return to Witcher 2 in order to muck around with some save options for Witcher 3 (need my tattoo you see). I'm amazed at how different Witcher 2 feels than Witcher 3, but not in a bad way. Assassins of Kings still feels like a Witcher game, but it is a vastly different experience. Despite being a much smaller game than the other two, it does this sense of scale and alien-feeling world so drat well. Foltest's siege at the beginning is utterly gigantic, and the Flotsam region really sells you on the utterly immense and ancient forest that human civilization just barely encroaches on.

I do admit that I miss some of the weirder Witcher contracts from Wild Hunt, but I appreciate how the main plot is almost intentionally muddled. More than the other two games, I feel Witcher 2 sells the fact that you are part of the world, and the world will do as it drat well pleases despite your best efforts. War is coming no matter what you do, and the only choices you can affect really influence your own circle of friends in the end as you try to get the hell out of the way and uncover the myriad of double crosses.

I do think I will need to get that combat rebalance mod though, I miss my dodge key.
