Not just you. I always go for the standard editions - not paying for digital extras
I enjoyed the combat more in DOS2 to be honest, I know it had its flaws but it was still more challenging and the randomness of the dice roll stuff can be annoying. That said overall I do think this is just a better game, as it should be.
I generally prefer action points/cooldowns to D&D's rest system but other than that I think combat is much more enjoyable in this one. No split armour nonsense, not every battlefield is covered in blood, fire, and steam all the time, and not every single fight requires perfect teamwork from a minmaxed party.
As a lover of the Witcher 3 I feel like you just personally insulted me.
Let’s leave Gwent out of this ok?

hey I collected every single Gwent card, too! And won horse races and brawled with strange shirtless men. There are a couple but they aren't timed in real time (and even then pausing would solve that), it's tied to rests. Basically a couple of quests will resolve one way or another on their own if you take too many rests after picking them up.
Usually you get a hint when trying to get to rest — a short cut scene that tells you that you’d better not.
There’s one in the under dark where you get on a boat and go to a forge. That’s all I’ll say. I didn’t realise it was timed, it’s not that obvious, and ended up missing the whole thing when I went back
Yeah @SilentWitness don't get on the boat in the Underdark unless you are fully rested with all spells and such available.
Ahhh the addict has entered the arena. Looking forward to your updates over the next week
Act 3 is great so far. Not getting the complaints about it feeling unfinished compared to the first 2 acts. That said I’m still only a few hours in.

what kind of addict am I seen as? Gaming?I dunno, I just feel like when you play a game you really go for it non stop
thinking on the likes of Elden Ring and Zelda.I dunno, I just feel like when you play a game you really go for it non stop
it’s timed quite nicely because after Zelda I had like a solid month and a half of work and social stuff but it’s all calmed down recently. My eyes are ready to bleed.It’s awesome. Enjoy it. It can be pretty overwhelming at the start as it doesn’t hold your hand or give particularly great tutorials so don’t be afraid to look up guides, especially if you haven’t played a Larian game before.This is basically correct
It doesn't really matter from a gameplay perspective, this isn't like the old school D&D games where racial bonuses were very powerful. It mostly grants some additional content, background story, flavour text, that sort of thing.
And of course in true psychopath RPG player fashion, I did a diplomatic approach first and then murdered everyone anyway for loot and XP.
Just a reminder that you can change class at any time (well after a very early certain point in the game), so don't fret class choice too much.
After playing the first 3 hours yesterday i totally feel this post haha.
- You have actions, bonus actions and movement. If you look at an ability or spell, it will tell you if it requires an action or a bonus action. By default you have one action and one bonus action each turn; it's up to you to figure out how to utilise them best. Your best abilities usually require an action though so keep that in mind.
