5hrs in just left the first zone. So far so good. ultra 40-50 fps high 60-61 fps. Crafting is definitely a time sink.

Too busy doing the oooooh, ahhhhhhh, and Oh look, berries! Flowers! Ghouls!  Being distracted in these games like that can cause mass time sinks!

I'm digging it so far though even as a seasoned Witcher player I am getting my ass kicked on Blood and Broken Bones difficulty. I think that is mostly because I just powered through 100% of TW2 in a matter of days and am still used to having tons of skills and the best equipment in the game...
The graphics thing was disappointing for a minute or two but I quickly got over it. Hopefully they do bring back the quality but if not, this is still fine in my opinion. It's not GTA V but I think it looks pretty darn good. Photorealism isn't the only thing needed to create atmosphere, though it very much helps. |

I don't want to hear it. How the hell do you block when fighting monsters The secret to Witcher games is to roll and dodge to avoid attacks, not block. Blocking is mostly useless, IMO (except for actual timed parrying, though signs generally work better for stopping attacks than parrying does). In the Witcher 2 I mostly just rolled around the battlefield, and TW3 so far has been the same. As a witcher, you are more of a mobile and lightweight fighter, not a guy who gets into stand-up fights with more heavily armed and armored opponents. Roll into the battle, hit from the side and behind, then roll away. Maybe speccing Geralt to heavy armor and heavy attacks might allow you to get into stand up fights, but even then I doubt it. As a direct answer to your question though, I don't know. Blocking has been very hit and miss (pun intended ) for me. It's inconsistent enough that I just went back to doing what I've done in TW2 - rolling and dodging. It's a pretty forgiving system, so when you see an enemy swing or lunge, just get out of the way.

I'd have to agree. Blocking has only ever helped my in fighting humans. Even then I won't bother unless the only threat is right in front of me. Otherwise I make my way to the outside of the battle and cut away at the edges of the group.

Blocking isnt worth even attempting. Use Alt to dodge or roll around and slash at them. Hit then roll, hit then dodge.
Tip for ghouls: Hit them a few times, they will jump back and start glowing red. This means they are going to attack. Don't wait, soon as they jump back, advance and roll behind them or dodge. Then finish them off. Humans and Drowner type mobs I've found just an onslaught of blows takes them down fast. Your fast attack generally hits too fast for them to respond to your attacks 1 on 1. Multiple targets that doesn't work, single target though have at it. I'm playing on Death March, hardest difficulty, it's not easy. I have 500gb worth of gameplay to compress and upload overnight. I did part of White Orchard last night and uploaded the gameplay of it, tonight I have everything from where I left off up to leaving White Orchard. When the videos are posted, watch me kill stuff. May help you. I die my fair share, but understand that it's on the hardest difficulty you can set the game to, a few hits and you're dead. Will post links when they are done, or you can just keep looking for new uploads on my youtube sometime tomorrow morning. Death March = insane. I died so many times trying to kill the Griffon. You can craft a fairly nice silver sword early on, I suggest hunting the materials down and crafting that, the steel sword you can get fairly early, and the armor. Something Viper something, forget the exact name. Very good equipment, very easy to make. Makes killing Ghouls so much easier .
Water = treasure chests = crafting recipes and some neat stuff. Once you get your crossbow, kill wildlife, lots of health regen food! |

I met him but he doesn't show up as a weaponsmith on my map. I'm just cleaning up before I leave White Orchard so I'll visit him before I go away. I have both of the viper weapon schematics and the components to make them, but couldn't find anyone to actually do the crafting. |

I went on a silver hunting spree trying to make mine lol. Had 2 bars, needed more silver, took a while to find them. Not sure if the stuff is harder to find or not on the higher difficulties but it was pretty tough to get all the bars I needed. Made the nice armor and the 2 swords before I left the area, sadly wasn't able to make the Silver sword prior to the Griffon fight, that would have helped a lot. |

I'm on PC about 3 hours in. Playing on ultra settings (suck it console players), no freezes what so ever so far and I'm liking the gameplay and all the choices you have to make. So far I haven't been able to find a crossbow which is what I really want. For a brand new game IMO the graphics aren't impressive at all they look like the same "next-gen" graphics I've been seeing for the last 3 years.

I'm already having enough trouble maxing them at 1440, so I'm not going to bother. But if your rig can handle it and you're running things at 1080, it might be worth researching. |

3D Realms tried to stay up to date with technology during development and everyone saw the end result of Duke Nukem Forever. I think CDPR ran into the same issue. They built this amazing tech demo for E3 and found out that to reach that goal over multiple platforms wasn't going to happen, so they removed graphical features. Watch Dogs was once a PS4 exclusive then it went multi-platform and took a graphical hit. Rockstar slaved to build PC gamers it's own version of GTA V and its optimization for the PC is bad. Does it suck to loose eye candy? Yes, but the game launched, feelings were hurt and all CDPR can do is try to patch their product. |

To those worried about the graphics....don't be. CD Projekt RED will fix it. They made the Witcher series originally only for PC. They cater to PC players more than console players. They were wanting to make sure they get the game out so we could play it, in a stable playable state. I'm happy with it. Can it be prettier? Sure, will it be? I bet on it. Give them time, they'll fix the graphics up to the point you probably can't even play it on the settings to see

The problem is that most of the time, you're facing multiple opponents, and until you can block from all directions, they'll turn you into hamburger long before you can counterattack. The best way I've found is to circle the group and pic off stragglers, then go toe-to-toe once you've whittled them down to two or three. Playing on Death March and it's not nearly as difficult as the Arena was in W2. |

And all I got out of it was one chest filled with bullshit supplies. 
Has anyone figured out where all the low-level Gwent players are? The tutorial guy was easy enough, but as soon as I got to Vizima, and then Velen, all the merchants and other players I can find are absolutely kicking my ass, and it's not a matter of skill - I simply don't have the deck to compete against the 50+ point decks they have, but you have to beat guys to get better cards. I figure there have to be other lower level guys around for me to beat first, but I can't find anyone.

The normal game is $60, like any other AAA title. You might be thinking of the special edition that comes with the season pass or something. Though even that should only be $85, I think. At least, it is on PC. I'd say - if you've liked previous Witcher games, the special edition is worth it right out the gate. If this is your first foray into the series, get the normal $60 one. If you like it, you can always buy the season pass later. But the game is absolutely worth playing. Good candidate for game of the year, IMO. |

If you look around you may find a digital code cheaper. I paid $36 for my PC pre-order

Any xbone players experiencing a glitch with saving and loading? Sometimes the game fails to auto save and gets stuck at the loading screen. Or it won't let you manually save. Luckily I have only lost 15-20 minutes or play time since I save often, but some people have lost hours of playtime. Seems the workaround is a hard restart of the xbox.

I glitched some treasure hunt quest. I accidentally found the treasure while exploring, then later got a quest to find that treasure. Since I already found it and previously looted everything, the quest won't complete and it's stuck in my quest log

How can I see my stats? Ex. Crafting levels, etc. Quote HistoryQuoted:
How can I see my stats? Ex. Crafting levels, etc. Go to your character sheet where you put points into the different trees, and hit C, at least on the PC. On other platforms I'd assume it's there as well just a different button. Doesn't show everything you're wanting but that's all we got. I'm 20 hours in and just barely level 5

lol, careful! Granted, if you're really good you can do it at level 3. I was killing the level 8 mobs in White Orchard at level 2. I left White Orchard at level 3, just barely. Leveling in this is going to take some time and grinding. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Got a little ahead of myself doing the main quests. I'm level 3 doing level 8+ quests
Now I'm going back to the starter area to run through all the side quests and undiscovered locations on the map. lol, careful! Granted, if you're really good you can do it at level 3. I was killing the level 8 mobs in White Orchard at level 2. I left White Orchard at level 3, just barely. Leveling in this is going to take some time and grinding. Same boat for me. I'm level 8 and getting missions for level 20+. Which sucks, because I have the opportunity to get some badass armor. But, won't be able to do that for a while |

Just did Ciri's first playthrough. Going to have to do it again because I didn't record it. That's a pretty awesome feature. Ciri is a beast!

Racked up another 3 hours last night.
Did anyone else start with a witcher 2 save? In that save, I: -took the elf path -Didn't kill the Dragon -Didn't battle Letho Is Nilfgaard in control of White Orchard for everyone? |

Got some nice Relic gear tonight. Just hit level 7, part of the story mission had to go into a cave looking for some Elf mage. While in there, found a few side passages, a few of them had rather large Gargoyles and Elementals guarding chests. Those chests had Relic armor and relic silver sword

In that save, I: -took the elf path -Didn't kill the Dragon -Didn't battle Letho Is Nilfgaard in control of White Orchard for everyone? I had a W2 save. Several, actually, but the one I'm starting with is: - Sided with Roche (blue stripes) - Let the dragon live, king Henselt is alive, the sorceress is alive, Letho is alive. Gave the bastard daughter to the Temerian general. Basically I wanted a save with as many characters around as possible to see what effects, if any, they had on the plot. So far, none that I can tell. Click To View Spoiler Haven't seen or heard of any others yet. I know Roche shows up because I've seen him in trailers, but it must be later in the game. |
