I don't even use the horse that much, happily roaming the wilderness on foot.
Gaming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Yeah, the whole ethos of Novigrad is great, it's how I expected the lore to be like; very vibrant, with colourful merchants and minstrels, and then some seedy brothels and an underlying ring of crime. Velen is a bit too murky.
Roach is crazy glitchy, infuriatingly so at times. 'Call him over, spawns on other side of bridge' type of stuff. When you sprint up mountains his whole front body disappears and all you see are his hind legs.
Not sure I agree with the stuff about fast traveling, sign posts are everywhere once you explore more, and it makes things pretty easy mode at times.
It's all I did in Novigrad because you can't sprint whilst horseback there for some reason. Geralt is pretty nippy.
Hardest game I have ever played, I got no chance getting past the baby, can't kill and can't let the dad hold it
How did I manage to forget how ridiculously good Witcher 2 is. Just finished act 1 and did the intro for act 2. Epic stuff.
Went with Iorveth and he's a great character. Feel bad for ditching Roche though. Hopefully I will get to team up with him again or something

I have way too many quests too do... No idea which one to start. Also, it says I should be level 5,7, 17, 33 to do the quests yet in only level 3 so far so should i just grind a bit to level up? Not sure how the levelling works in this, never player witcher before this one. Great fun though.
If only they could incorporate a dark souls/Bloodborne style of movement and character control into it, as that's pretty much perfect when it comes to 3rd person control. This just doesn't feel very fluid when I'm moving Geralt around,

fecks sake done about 6 of those "?" on the map then attacked by about 8 wolves and died. Hadn't saved for ages. Pissed right off.
Are you going to the notice boards and picking up quests, exploring, doing the random ? things? At level 9(not that high, I know) I've never had a shortage of quests/things to be doing at my own level.
If you do a quest in this is there any point in turning down money? Like do you get something anyway or is there a good/bad system in place?
I turned down money earlier and I got something different off the guy, can't remember what it was now though.
So how good is this game actually? Did it meet all the expectations (except for graphics) ?
I don't trust the internet reviews too much... I need to wait for my local gaming magazine, but that won't be for 3 weeks.

Like I said, Iorveth's path is the more epic one
Don't worry about ditching Roche, its not as bad as you think.
Advise everyone to use the manual save sometimes and not to rely on auto. Just completed a Witcher contract and moments afterwards the game crashed. Loaded back up and I'm at the start of the quest
It's awesome, been ages since I was actually hooked on a game but this has got me hooked. Love it, everything about it is brilliant.
It's immense. Even if you're not an RPG fan you could just put it on easy mode and cruise through because some of the side quests have excellent plots.
Believe the hype.
I've bought this but I'm not home til tomorrow night. Ugh.
The only time I can clearly remember turning down money and not getting anything is...
After killing the griffin, the money the army captain offers you.
I also turned down the coin after killing the noonwraith in the well, so the little girl could live, but I can't remember if I got something else for that.

Yeah I turned down both of those
Think the little girl thing, you get some kind of precious stone (like emerald, but not, amethyst maybe).
It's hard to remember all the loot, especially when I take anything not nailed down.
I don't even need all this bread, water, and other random shit as it takes seconds to heal with meditation.
About the only thing missing from the game is some kind of location of your own you could travel to and drop off all the stuff you don't need instantly, but won't sell in case of later needs.
Easy mode problems
I'm with you though it would be nice to have properties or something where you can hoard all the random shit. Although I did read that stuff you drop doesn't disappear so if you like you can just find a spot somewhere and drop everything there and it will still be there whenever you want to pick it up.
Yeah, tbh, I just haven't been bothered to sell all that junk until I need to. I just don't have a great deal of storage space as I like to keep two steel and two silver swords on hand, just in case one goes weak mid job.
Buy the +70 saddle thing from any half-decent merchant. It's worth it.
Yeah, I'm not very far at all obviously, just did a couple of main quests first as I usually do with these games and then branch off to side quests. All my side quests are really high level though which is the problem. Only picked them up from like 2 notice boards so far though, I'll just spend more time exploring.
Just waiting to land one.
There's also a bit of a coin exploit I've seen flying around Reddit, if anyone is struggling with that.
Basically, buy a bucket load of shells from a merchant (the one in Novigrad market is the best), then go to an armourer (one right next to the very Novigrad merchant) and dismantle the shells to pearls. Sell them on for profit.

Brilliant game best I've played in a long time and I'm probably not even a quarter through The main story. Unless the quests and story go to complete shit I can see this being in my top 3.
Just been playing this a little over an hour. I'm in awe of the world. Truly fantastic game.
Feck! Just went to do a bit of exploring, and once my PS4 was turned on, the controller stopped working.
Witcher free weekend.

After reading some of the comments on here, I thought it would be a good idea to turn down 300 crowns and see what they gave me instead. Guess what? It was a horrible idea. I got absolutely nothing in exchange

Some choices don't immediately come into effect.

300 crowns is a fortune in this game
Hope for you that you saved your game before making that decision...
Oh and btw, Zoltan is one of my favourite characters I've encountered in any videogame, he was great in Witcher 2, he's even better in this. He's hilarious and his voice actor is great.
Doing witcher contracts underlevelled is not the best idea. Took that shrieker contract as I'd just turned level 5. It was a bit of a pain in the arse, killed me a couple of times before I managed to get it in a really drawn out fight.
Also gwent seems to be working for me now. I'm hooked already! Bit pissed that I missed the cards from white orchard meaning I'll not be able to collect them all but oh well, maybe in an expansion down the road it will be possible.

Aye I missed a couple of the cards from White Orchard too, one of the devs said they will probably patch it in so they are gettable later in the game. My inner gwent ocd needs them.
Stopped doing most of the side quests now (just hit level 16, the main quest line is still level 12 at the moment) there's simply far too many to worry about completing them all.
The swimming controls in this are infuriating, especially when you're diving underwater.
What cards are we talking about here? I am about done with this White Orchard area so I don't want to be missing out on things that you can't return for later. I did play and win against this guy in that pub but because of my X spamming habit I didn't see the reward I got.
Or do you guys mean the cards that woman sells in that pub?
Yes the women innkeeper, she sells leader cards.
This is without a doubt one of the best games ever crafted. Up there with the very very best. I can't find a single fault.. even the side quests you stumble across by chance feel like main quests and the world is just incredibly detailed. We're so spoiled these days with video games.
Where do I find armorsmiths? I'm very early game, only level 5, but can't do the twisted firestarter quest to get the dwarf guy because I forgot about him and did the main quest which makes me fail it. Not sure if I can go restart it but I think it's probably done.
Edit: Actually never mind the dwarf still crafts stuff for me, though he only became available after the quest
