Mm, maybe it's time I actually start progressing the story
Gaming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Thread starter PlayerOne
- Start date
Level 13 and I reckon I've probably spent about 30 hours on it 
I always wander off and look about or get absolutely battered on a quest and have to repeat it about 20 times.

Ffs it keeps showing up with yellow notice boards on the map and when I go there, there's nothing but advertisements on there. No quests. And once I look at all the pointless ones it stops being yellow.
You grabbed them and read them all while in inventory?
Yeah. Usually just grabbing them is enough to activate a quest if there is one.
The pulp fiction quotes from two guards was incredibly random, anyone else hear this?
Quests are so long in this. You cannot even finish any of the side quests below 20-30 minutes and most of the main quests are well over an hour. I'm on Bloody Baron quest right now, already found out what happened to the wife and daughter about 30 minutes ago yet the mission still goes on. It's good though because nearly all of them are very interesting, none of the 'go there pick that up' stuff, there's an actual story between the vast majority and stories vary a lot.
Aye, ignoring all Witcher contracts and unimportant side quests, only focusing on the stuff that effects the ending(s)/making different choices all that jazz.
There is plenty of humour and references to other stuff in it. For Polish people it gets even better because there's a huge amount of reference to Polish culture and folklore.
All letters and books I have collected? Is it safe to get rid of them?
I take it there is no storage boxes?

I'm on that one as well
I was annoyed at one bit as I wanted to save the stable hand and horses, but the baron was in my way I was unable to compete my rescue
The same happened to me, this part wasn't really well thought on their part because I reckon most people will fall into the same trap. I'm in the small Ciri story thing now, it's a breath of fresh air even if it hasn't been particularly challenging or interesting so far (I think I've noticed a reference to another mission in the previous interval though, about the boy being set on a trail).
I need to stop coming into this thread and reading stuff before I get the game

Death March is pretty basic for me now on second playthrough. Agree with avoiding large crowds, because the AI damage output is ridiculous. Lack of regen health is no problem whatsoever with swallow, really. How far in are you now? I think just doing the main quest + main sidequests would really only take a few days. Just played for a little while and I'm currently at the Bloody Baron's plot now.
Hardest choice though:

#TeamYen or #Triss?
Chose the former on my first playthrough!
Right now, I'm stuck on a Katakan in the sewers, during Triss' quest. It restores 130+ health every second. Ridiculous.
I didn't even try and kill it in the end just ran past it and in to the cave.
Could use an official spoiler policy on games really. Most people use spoilers in the beginning, but it often keeps stretching (early game spoilers aren't spoiled, then mid-game etc.). Maybe the best way to do it is saying that everything should be in spoilers for the first X months and then you can stop using them.
do you know where to find Letho? I said he was dead on my first playthrough.
32 hours, level 15
The Fall of House Reardon is the quest you're looking for, old woman crying on the side of the road in Lindenvale.
How are you lot able to find out how far in you are? Doesn't seem to be an option on PC.
What a game though, I'm level 13 and finally went to Novigrad, albeit reluctantly, but the quest was level 10 so I had to. I do like that the game really encourages you to do main quests quickly though and not just *** around with side quests and ? marks endlessly. It's a good balance.
Novigrad is absolutely massive though, I can't think of a bigger city in an RPG ever?

It's not possible to see progress on PS4 either.
I'm just past Bloody Baron quest and I've already played it for at least 12 hours. I've 'lost' a lot of time on exploring the world and looking for new side quests though. I'm level 7 at the minute but I'll go to 8 soon, leveling up is something I find very slow in this game but it's good, I'm in absolutely no rush because I've loved the experience so far and I genuinely hope I'm no more than 20% through.
I'd like an answer on this too, I've hoarded a feckton of them.
There's time played there too?
Yeah it's pretty weird though, I think it counts time paused and stuff in with it :/
Novigrad might be the most beautiful city I have ever seen in any videogame.
Maybe days passed in the game? I think I've seen stat like this.
Tempted to get this - I've pre ordered Batman Arkham Knight though. Will this consume my life until then?
Yes.
It's the type of game where you sit down to play, think I'll just do a couple of the sidequests to get them off my list........3 hours later and it's likely you completed a couple of quests but somehow picked up ten more. Yet at no point is it dull, grindy or tedious. Everyone should own this game, devs deserve full support when they get it this right.
3 days played, level 22.
Just won the Gwent Tournament on my first try. Was easier than I expected tbh.
I'm stuck in an interminable mission that is really starting to bore me. The combat is still clunky as hell for me. Geralt only raises his sword to parry about every third time.
For feck sake. I have only just noticed there is free DLC that I have not installed.
You are holding it down right? If you hold down the parry button he'll hold his sword up and block incoming attacks (that aren't too powerful). If you just press it he tries to counter but if the timing is even slightly off it won't do it. I rarely bother trying to counter, just parry, dodge and attack for me
I was holding it. I'm wondering if my L2 trigger has gone a bit slack.
You really don't need to parry or even block (except for archers).
Dodge pretty much avoids an attack 99% of the time.

Most enemies of any note break your guard (and bust your Quen) anyway. Not sure the rules on that; might do some research...
It says how much damage it can sustain before it breaks somewhere I think.
