Speaking of Zoltan, I just completed that part, and while I was running around, talking the women and "woman", one of them mentioned something about Geralt killing her son, and seemed to have a grudge against him. I don't remember that in this game, so I'm assuming that might have happened in 1 or 2? Anyone have any background on it? in the theatre or whatever you want to call it? If so that was the beginning of the game when you get in that fight at the inn at white orchard |

The king you work for and her are having a lovers' quarrel in TW2 over a couple of young bastard children, leading to the sacking of her castle. You have the option of killing or sparing her older son (by another man). But she was clearly named in my game. If your person wasn't named, then it certainly wasn't her. |

I remember that guy. Witcher 2 gave you perks for doing certain things. The one you got for sparing Aryan and escorting him out of the castle was super nice. Wonder why they didn't roll that over to Witcher 3? |

I never played TW2 or transferred any save game, but LaVallette sounds familiar. I should know as I just played it last night, but I can't remember. All I remember was running up to the house, and a man and woman come out, the woman was pissed at Geralt, and the man and Geralt rode out to the horse races together so Geralt could talk to Molly. |

It should have asked you at the beginning of the game whether you killed or spared him. Doesn't really matter though, frankly. It was a neat little choice in TW2, but it made very little difference even in that game. In TW3 that 1 line is literally the only thing you ever hear about it. |

It works. I spawned a million bees in the middle of Novigrad. It was the very image of hell on earth. The bees massacred the townsfolk. For some reason printscreen won't save a screenshot for this game.
edit - forgot I had fraps. Screenshot added. 
Millions upon millions of bees ravage the townspeople. The ground is littered with fish. The sky is full of hovering fish. The drone of bees and screams of the dying fill the air. |

There is something odd with runes in swords. I wandered into a cave and ran into a LV30-something glowy spidery thing. Instead of running, I decided to stand and fight (@Lv17), but didn't really have anything that could hurt the thing, other than Anathema. I stuck three runes in the sword (stun, stagger,and freeze) and proceeded to beat that glowbag like it was a cheap whore. EVERY hit lit it on fire, stunned AND staggered, and while my hits were only doing 200-300 points of damage, the fire was doing 800-1000 points of damage every half second. What would have been a really, really hard fight was over in about 30 seconds.
The sword went back to "normal" after a while (possibly after a reload), but it still has a special effect far more often that the numbers would suggest. I'm wondering of rune percentages are cumulative, regardless of what rune you have in the sword. |

I had a sword with a super high chance of burning (forget the name of the sword), and added 3 greater fire runes to it as well. In the end, I had close to a 50% chance of lighting things on fire. Otherwise, it sounds like a bug. I haven't seen anything like what you are describing for my game. |

So this one time I was WAAAY underleveled for a golem that was guarding some Witcher gear diagrams and while I was pondering how I might defeat it..... suddenly BEES. Bees attacked the golem and it was fighting with all its fury against an enemy it couldn't possibly hope to defeat. At that point I just waltzed up and took the diagrams and watched the golem flailing wildly!

I would say I got what ost would consider the neutral ending but honestly after checking out the other 2 endings I think I like the one I got the best. I felt like the final boss fight was a cop out or to easy but at the same time you had to get a good rythmn and reflexes going to get through it. No amount of food or potions will help in that fight if you can't dodge at least semi proficiently
I beat it with just like a sliver of my health remaining

I played on story and sword and found myself thinking this is easy but then i kinda thought of how you did kinda have to have mastery of eying your stamina so you could recast quen while knowing which way to dodge at a moments notice.. I think I beat The baron my first try too. The fight difficult for me was the werewolf contract for some reason. |

I played on story and sword and found myself thinking this is easy but then i kinda thought of how you did kinda have to have mastery of eying your stamina so you could recast quen while knowing which way to dodge at a moments notice.. I think I beat The baron my first try too. The fight difficult for me was the werewolf contract for some reason. Do you even counterattack, Bro? The trick with boxing is that it is almost impossible to injure the other guy when they have their guard up; you have to hit them when their guard is down. You can do this by counterattacking, or dodging and hitting them from the side. |

I would say I got what ost would consider the neutral ending but honestly after checking out the other 2 endings I think I like the one I got the best. I felt like the final boss fight was a cop out or to easy but at the same time you had to get a good rythmn and reflexes going to get through it. No amount of food or potions will help in that fight if you can't dodge at least semi proficiently I beat it with just like a sliver of my health remainingI was kind of disappointed with the difficulty of the main-quest boss fights. Seemed like the only time I died in the entire game was to trash stuff while traveling/exploring, or during special side quests.

You can do this by counterattacking, or dodging and hitting them from the side. Some of those fights can get to be a pain when either a) you get trapped in a corner of the ring and can't dodge, or b) they keep using fast attacks which are much harder to block. But generally I agree - the fistfights have been pretty easy. Move far enough away so that the enemy uses a heavy attack which is easy to see coming, block or dodge, hit them a couple of times until they put up their guard, back off again. Rinse, repeat. Other than a couple of fights that I threw, I think I only lost one legit match in the whole game, and it was to an NPC who was actually a lower level than I was. I got trapped in a corner and the guy just kept using fast punches which I couldn't block very well. With all the others, including guys many levels higher, it was pretty much a breeze. |

Fistfights are easy. When you keep just out of fast attack range they will use a strong attack to close the distance. That is easy to see coming and counter. Just land a fast attack after the counter and dodge back to get your distance back and repeat. You can cheese all the fist fights like that.

I passed EVERY SINGLE FIGHT up to and including the Taylor(who wad higher level than me) at the second difficulty over starting. Easy no problem. Know how to evade and dodge to get in punches. But that didnt work for the Baron fight. It was so bad that I considered restarting the game. It WAS some kind of bug. Landing a volley of 5-6 punches landed by me took maybe 5% of the total fight bar. Meanwhile if he hit me once it took a third of my health bar. I reset to easiest and the fight still took about 8 separate volleys to knock down his 3 bars of health. Whatever I got for difficulty had to be beyond the extreme difficulty setting. No fight up to that or since that fight, changing the difficulty back, has been as fucked up. I had to redo that barron fight about 10 times, reset the console, and tried again. Thankfully the difficulty reset worked. /edit Also the fighting can be won/lost if the camera gets fucktarded and you lose orientation of where your opponent is. Can wind up being 2 or 3 punches(with the baron fight it meant death) being landed while you get the camera reoriented. |

First couple tries for me I couldn't fight back. |

Big patch out.
A new, alternative (optional) movement response mode for Geralt.
A player stash for storing items, available in various locations throughout the game. Stash locations are marked on the player's map. Crafting and alchemy components no longer add to the overall inventory weight. Books are now placed in a dedicated tab in the Inventory and books that have already been read are properly grayed out. Multiple sorting options are now available in the Inventory. Alchemy formulas and crafting diagrams can be "pinned", meaning all components and ingredients required to make them will be conveniently marked in the Shop panel. Dozens of fixes for quest related issues, both major and minor. A few performance enhancements, including the optimization of FX, scenes and general gameplay. Various improvements to horse behavior. Player stash! I think I love this company. They listen to us. |

Are they making him more responsive so there isn't the lag between telling him to do something like move or stop and him slowly getting moving or coming to a stop? |

I know they are grey instead of white, but sometimes, at least for me, it's tough to tell. |
