Gaming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

In your inventory screen go along to quests and open up the tabs and it'll show the level near. Colour coded too now I think.

However, see a red skull near it and you're 99% chance to die trying it.

I fell into a quest before by mistake and was stuck fighting a bunch of midgets who all had those skulls above them, luckily I found a glitch I think and managed to stand out the way and pop them all off with spells and my crossbow. I was clean shaven when that battle started, when I'd finished it... I had a full beard.

:lol: Thanks for the help. I ran into an AGhoul and was pretty horrified when it two-shotted me.
 
I'm curious, is there any single GPU that can run this on Ultra or High at 1080p and still with Hairworks on?

The new GTX 1080? Or does the fiddling about with tesselation while using AMD card really work?

Ten day bump I realise but I was going to post about the game anyway. My GTX 970 can run it just fine with Hairworks on (40-45 FPS on average). I switched it to have Hairworks on only for Geralt and it's back to a solid 60 FPS. This is 1920x1080 with everything else on max. Motion blur is turned off (I think; I turn it off in every game that has it, can't remember if TW3 does) because I hate that shit.
 
I started finally playing Blood and Wine and all I can say is feck YOU CDProjektRed.

How the feck will I ever justify spending €50 on a game in the future that has half the content and half the fun of your fecking EXPANSION that cost me €18?! HOW?

Turning the foliage draw distance - can't recall the exact setting name - down a notch from the max gives a noticeable FPS gain with very little visual difference.

I even have that at max. It did make a huge difference back in the day when I had a far shittier card but nothing, absolutely nothing compares to the impact of Hairworks. And honestly, Hairworks really doesn't look THAT good. It's cool but not worth it.

Nice. I've got the GTX 970. Too bad you can't get 60fps with Hairworks on. Will give this a try later on.

I have the same card. I turned Hairworks off completely, as I don't think it looks that good either. I found that turning the foliage down one notch gave me ~7-10FPS for basically no visual hit that I could see.
 
The hairworks hair looks atrocious. The beard looks nice but is way too fluffy. I much prefer the default look. Looks sweet af on animals and such though.
 
last autumn and this summer I've probably spent over 300 hours on this game exploring every nook and cranny this game has to offer. thank you CD Project Red for this masterpiece

Has there been any News by CDPR about a follow-up ? Would be great - especially with TES 6 being years away and the Souls Franchise having been laid to rest.

They started working on a cyberpunk RPG (Cyberpunk 2077) and they said it's unlikely there'll be another Witcher any time soon.

Thanks mate. Cyberpunkt is not really for me.

That "Triple A RPG between 2017 and 2021" sounds interesting although not very concrete.

So the Skyrim remaster aside: Is there anything else on the horizon? I have not been following any News during the last months when it Comes to gaming.

There will be other RPG games but I'd be very surprised if we see anything on par with Witcher 3 for a good few years yet. We've been well and truly spoiled with this game.

*Edit* - There must be so many RPG developers looking at their WIP product now and thinking "Well, that sucks. How do we follow that?!".

Even before it came out when TW3 and Dragon Age Inquisition were shown at the same E3 it made DA:I look like a joke. Everything RPG is going to get compared to it now and it's going to be a while before anything comes off favourably.
 
Just got the Blood and Wine Gwent Set through the post, completing my Gwent collection :drool:

All 4 decks, and nobody to play it with... perfect.
 
I've finally got a bit of free time to start a ng+ on death march with both expansions, I haven't played yet. Holding off on playing Hearts of Stone til Blood and Wine was out was so worth it. The whole game feels fresh again as I haven't played for ages. It's going to be glorious. :drool::drool:
 
anyone know how you check your play time on this?

Currently making my way through Hearts of Stone, love the villain in it so far, reminds me of a medieval equivalent of Q in Star Trek.
 
Just got the DLC. Haven't played it for ages so looking forward to getting into it again.

On console you cant as the play time counter is all messed up
 
Blood and Wine is just excellent. I must have already gone over 10 hours and the end is not even close. I love how CD Projekt build side quests, you go into them thinking they will be quick affair and end up sinking over an hour into an engaging storyline (like the Vivienne quest in B&W). The new world is also great, I've hardly seen a third of it.

I reckon this will go down as the best game of current generation, easily. Maybe Rockstar will pull something out of their sleeves finally with their next gen open world game but they were never THIS good with stories.
 
I'm using a decoction build with Euphoria mutation and it's just hilariously OP. I'm absolutely breezing through deathmarch NG+ basically killing bosses in like 5 hits and have 14000 vitality + 230% sign intensity so 100% burn and stagger chance with the signs :lol:. Feels fun to be practically godlike. Started an NG+ having not yet played the expansions (apart from the start of blood and wine to access mutations) so looking forward to getting to them...in another 50 hours or so!

I killed a level 77 chort at level 40 with this crazy build (The cow monster in White Orchard) :lol:.
 

Game of the Year edition is out at the end of this month for anybody who hasn't decided to pick it up yet (mad bastards).
 
An enhanced edition with massive tweaks to combat amongst other things is also out, but only for you dirty PC modders.
 
Also, the GWENT beta has been delayed until late October. I reckon they're really adding a lot of content to it to make a fleshed out game. Already said each deck will have its own quest-line behind it. :drool:
 
Right so, never played any of the other witchers (should I do this before I play this one?)
It's asked me if I want to simulate or state a clean slate or whatever.

Is there a disadvantage to any before I crack on with the game?

I played about half of 2, but nothing of the first and I still found 3 pretty amazing. i don't think you need to have played the others, it just will mean you'll know who a few more of the characters are straight away whent hey're mentioned.
But I really wouldn't let that put you off, if you like RPGs, you're gonna like The Witcher 3.

Cool, Fallout being my favourite type of games means I should absolutely love this according to this thread :lol:

My only confusions before I start is, should I have this conversation that affects the game (a conversation I know nothing about) or just leave it
