New Witcher 3 patch finally fixes tiny text

Hahaha. That’s excellent.

That part is in there. You just skip the bowchicawowwow (yes, I copied that from yours), and she says (SPOILER ALERT) “would you at least still lie with me and watch the stars?”

Yes. Got that too. Pretty cunning indeed.
– There is only Yen though 😉

Ah, that sucks man. I thought with the new consoles you’d at least be able to see that.
I’m sitting on 28 hours now, but still have a loooong way to go.

I haven’t found a fist fight or horse race yet hehe. I love my Gwent though, most merchants play & I’ve won a few monster cards from them. There’s a noble in the palace who plays with a Nilfgardian deck, he’s owned me badly.

Yeah, I need to give it more attention. I know that if you get the AI to use a ton of cards in the first round, you’re almost guaranteed to win the 2nd and 3rd rounds. But it just ain’t easy for me. And I have far too much other stuff to keep involved in. The Bloody Baron’s storyline was freaking epic!! So many twists and turns to that story… Absolutely loved it! Got a few Witcher contracts I wanna focus on tonight, if I get to play.

Yeah, that was freaky, but really sad… A close friend of mine went through that (what happened to the wife – trying to give no spoilers) and it really hit home. Was tinged with a lot of sadness for me. But that’s what I love about this game – it brings out all the emotions in you! No game has done what this game is doing for me, since Mass Effect!

Especially coz there are, as in real life, 2 sides to that story… So if you actually let the Baron tell his side of it, it can completely change your point of view. Very good story telling!

Same here. So engrossing! Even my gf enjoys watching when I’m playing Witcher 3 – she says the storylines are better than most movies out there… And that’s saying a lot. They truly keep you gripped.

Even some of the things peasants say when chatting to one another can hint at something. Was walking through a little village in Velen (near Oxenfurt) and heard 2 women talking. The one said “I don’t understand how the **insert name here** family are doing so well. They even have meat at the table for every meal!” So the other woman replied “I know. Those battlefields they scrounge around in for left over weapons to sell must be payin’ off for them… But they don’t have nothin’ but meat at the moment”.

I then clicked as to what they were talking about… o_O And that’s just an off-the-cuff remark made my a random, never-see-again NPC. This game has so much depth! Dare I say it… It’s a Skyrim killer?!

I’d say it is. Exploration is just as rewarding as in Skyrim, storytelling is so much better, combat is better, crafting is more interesting.

I spent about an hour yesterday to find all the stuff to craft some amazing silver sword only to realize you need to be level 18 or something to be able to wield it. I was quite bleak haha.

It’s just laying there, torturing me in my inventory with that “+150dmg” all pretty in green.

haha yeah my armour makes Geralt look like he has a boep!

I’m level 6 now. It’s because I have hardly touched the main quests. I just run around and look for question marks and side quests. Also what I love about the monster contracts is how they aren’t always monsters!

Happened to me as well! I held out long without taking damage and using Quen, but I hardly do damage to the monster. Then as soon as I mess up he klaps me one shot and I’m dead. haha!

Aard for me mostly on humans. Igni on most monsters and Yrden on specters and such.
And I also tend to forget about Quen a little too often.

Dude. I had a smith in Novigrad craft me this insane sword. Needs level 37!!.
Now it’s in my inventory, weighing me down (both emotionally and physically 😉

That’s my strategy when playing. I try to string the AI along for as many turns as possible while keeping the score more or less even in the first round, then let it win. It usually only uses weather cards when it’s losing badly to counteract your cards.

Hmmm… That’s true. I think I should try that out. I usually waste my rubbish cards on the first round – let ’em win by a country mile, but they’ve now used 5 or 6 cards… So they only have 4 left for the remaining 2 rounds. But like I said – sometimes it works, but oftentimes not… Perhaps a re-think is in order.

Haha. I love that. When they play a clear weather card even when everything is clear. Then you know you’ve won. 😀

It works for me. If they start hitting (for example) siege only, then you give them a weather card, play your melee cards and the next round they have to play whatever else they have left, and you can then hit them with siege. I always try to have one or two weather cards on me (one offensive card and one clear weather card). But it also doesn’t always work, but it’s worked the best so far.
