Any advice on which attributes are fun to level up on Witcher I? Playing for the first time, in order. Also curious how long it takes to beat as everybody keeps telling me the second one is even better.

Witcher II bug that hit me three loving nights this week or some poo poo I'm gonna beat up a member of CD projekt red feel free to warn them: When I come out of fat bald man's place, his guards are standing there, my weapons should be in the crate, and sometimes I even see the crate's contents for a half a second. It disappears, I approach it from 1500 angles and all I can do is light the nearby torch .No other options. Probably wasted a dozen hours as this is the second time I've gotten this one, and have to reload old saves and start over. This is in chapter 1 if it helps, trying to finish all the little side quests before I take on the kayran. Anyone have a fix for this? All the google hits are about an unrelated, second crate bug.

Ice Fist posted:Let's see if I can't break this down into a mini-guide Thanks for those posts, really helpful stuff. I just beat Witcher 2 so that story is fresh in my mind, losing the left control button as the time slow down and spell changer button is weird, do you folks have any opinions on the default PC hotkeys for W3? I might just keep them, I imagine it changed for a reason. Slow and fast attacks seem like a fun throwback to Witcher 1 even though I barely played it, I imagine it's preference like almost everything in these games as most playstyles seemed viable in Witcher 2. Final advice needed: There are like 20 free DLCs, it seems weird to do cosmetic ones when I don't even know if I'll love the default ones yet, any opinions on doing a vanilla playthrough then flipping all the switches on after or towards the end? Or are there some that you wish you installed for your first playthrough?

I like the level system and how it's not a huge deal like in MMOs, I do agree even though Witcher 2 on normal was easy, it was weird that the tutorial never let me sample or really understand most of the abilities I have to on the fly determine if I want or not for the next 50 hours, a die hard fan would probably love this as a reason to play again but go sign focus rather than swords, but as much as I loved 2 and love 3 so far, I think I need a few month or a year break before I want to repeat this huge of a game. Ultimately the skill system means gently caress all when you've got one of the best looking, smoothest playing and definitely most well written games ever.

I try not to read the thread too much because of spoilers, and I mostly read Comte's posts for some inside news from my favorite game company. But I was wondering has he ever mentioned the in house reaction to the president of the USA holding up a video game they made and pretending he's going to figure out how to play it but also saying it represents Poland's ability to succeed in the new world economy?

cmykjester posted:The Witcher 2 is pretty short but you may actually want to play through it twice due to how the story plays out. Honesty looking back Witcher 2 feels like the odd man out in the series as its like a more like an action game than a sprawling RPG like the first game and Wild Hunt. I didn't beat it for like 70 hours, am I bad or did you just not arm wrestle or side quest enough? I think is probably is the most 'accessible' to newcomers of the three games to fully beat, making it maybe the best option to recommend to friends. It also goes on sale for $2.50, so they're likely to actually take your advice on a game purchase.

Certainly can't yell as well as Witcher 3 Geralt, but I kind of like his conversational voice being more laid back and less Christian Bale with throat cancer. Doesn't sound as intimidating, but he's smoother. It's almost as though he was previously a younger man with less injuries and STIs and stuff

Ok this is mostly spoilers, first play through and trying to make the right decisions. Try to answer without spoiling more than the question needs, please. I killed the spirit mother bog bitch and the bloody baron still wants to go back and save his wife. Read the quest wiki. If I don't want the baron to hang himself, is that an option? Accept the quest but never go, or if I decline the quest does he still go back and end up hanging himself anyway?

Same thing happened to me yesterday and I think I'm level 7 and still don't know what a Leshen is. I was all proud I killed my first vampire and then a thing shooting tree roots or something almost dropped me. Has anyone ever done an entire build of armor/weapons/skills around igni?

Han Nehi posted:it is I, Geralt, a modest monster hunter I'm about halfway through the game and this jpg just confirmed I'm doing all of the rest of the griffin set now. How much work is it to upgrade armor sets? It feels like I dove into that cave to get the griffin armor recipes like two weeks ago and I'm just now finding the mats for the second piece, every craftsman I go to is the wrong kind or too low skill, next thing you know it you're always level 18 putting on your 'new' level 12 armor.

Is the real life version of gwent a massive waste of time where 2 out of 3 players you're up against have two cards that each do 10 damage and cannot be fogged, while you have literally nothing, or get a couple rares for decks you don't have enough cards to play? Just bought HoS and signed up for the gwent code thing, anyone know how likely I am to get a code and what it costs? Definitely looking at the elf/monster deck, Nilfgaard having passives like 'always wins on a tie' 'your king doesn't work' and 'i can use your cards' is a little too retarded for me to laugh at the joke.

Harrow posted:I'm slowly realizing what a huge undertaking it's going to be to rebuild my save to where it was before I reinstalled Windows and stupidly didn't back up my saves. I'm in the middle of Family Matters right now and I'm already burning out. But I also don't want to just make an HoS-only and a Blood and Wine-only Geralt--I'd rather do the DLCs on a "real" playthrough. Condolences and stuff, what's the easiest way to back up saves? Hope it's not like Shadow of Mordor where it'd be quicker to beat the game again.

Swedish Horror posted:The best characters are clearly all the trolls. P much just because what humor the game does have is usually really campy, there's something charming about troll humor just being literally retarded. 8-Bit Scholar posted:I'd be curious to read the books now. Is this a very long series? Is there any particularly good single entry to pick up? Agreeing with forums poster 'man whore', just read them in order and see if you like them. The Last Wish is a short collection of short stories, some will be more enjoyable than others based on what you think of Geralt as being. The second and final short stories collection is called Sword Of Destiny, I'm reading it now and I think it starts off more interesting to someone who is coming from the games. There are then I believe 5 novels that are actual a linear story, with I think 4 now as of recently out in English by an American publisher for like 8 dollars a book on Amazon.

Holy poo poo this game runs even better on my ancient PC after the patch, no bugs or crashes so I'm guessing it's your dumb mods you have installed, and the new settings options probably remove the need for a few of those mods. Is inventory weight uncapped now? Or am I just not looking in the right spot? Loving the new interface and menu changes.

Arcsquad12 posted:The level scaling is great. No more one hit kill Witcher contracts. Does the loot/exp/reward in general scale on anything or does it just scale the monsters health/damage to your level? Also I agree if another patch follows this please mutagens stack or add more mutagen crafting, have like 50 I don't know what to do with. Rare mutagens that do cosmetic things would be cool as gently caress.

As of 1.21 the game is nearly perfect, the magnum opus of the species, and the only thing I can complain about is that I can't skip past the same repeated anime cut scene before I load into my save. Also you should add more vendors early in the game with a variety of gwent cards, not even rare ones, it's just silly to be 90 hours in before you have enough cards in a second deck to try it out for the first time.

necrobobsledder posted:Meanwhile in Witcher 3, Geralt can't cast anything to save him from falling 10 feet to his death. It's hard to pick a worst thing in the best video game of our lives, but I have died twice in the same hour falling no more than 10 feet as a guy who can roll around 30 times per minute while easily killing a living stone golem the size of a truck. Also last poster and the other six: Why don't you guys like griffin + spells? Griffin/Igni is my favorite way to play the game so far, I loved Witcher 2 but rolling around spamming left click isn't really that fun. Aiming fire towards as many people as I can before they reach me, then spamming let click while rolling around is truly the best way to play a video game. Bear set is super popular in this thread and yet you just press shift click and kill a thing with an animation of a big sword? Am I missing something?

IkeTurner posted:I have a GIANT surplus of random items from compulsively picking up everything I see. This seems to be slowing down the UI a bit in the latest patch (PS4) and also is probably burning a hole in my pocket since I'm short on cash and should probably sell it off. What's the best way to sell off a large amount of random things? It seems like each merchant only has at most about a thousand gold, so I sell a half dozen things and he's dried up, not even making a dent in my stockpile. Any tips for de-hoarding? The master craftsmen including the dumpling blacksmith usually have like 3k on them, but I have no idea if this is a blood and wine question or Witcher 1 or whatever, hope it helped
