In any way, there is no plural of canon, there is only "the canon", so at best you #pretendingtoberetarded.

Thinking of going into ng+
I am way over-leveled in the base game and haven't even started hos yet, so its going to be ridiculous in b&w, no challenge at all.

The only thing stopping me is having to play all that shit again. The game play is not enjoyable enough for me to warrant a ng+ run

I am, but I ain't even done with the main storyline yet after putting it off for ~7 months after I played it 30 hours from release. Absolutely loving it though, everything just clicked for me and now it might be one of my favorite games of all time, and now I have two DLC/expansion packs waiting for me.

>>338245674
I'm pretty sure you can start at the DLC with a pre-made character if you wanted, or just continue on from an existing save.

I did pretty much everything in the game, and couldn't reach level 35 for the munchkin achievement. The quests simply didn't give me enough xp anymore.

34 or something. Main story finished soon, didn't start hos yet but I heard it showers you in levels.

It's easy, do stuff when it's close to your level. I went out of my way to do this most of the time, trying my best to not let stuff drop into the grey area.

This sounds like borderline grinding, I'm not trying to argue, but to me it sounds like you basically "min/maxed" the game, and I can't put enough quotation marks around that.

But hey, if you enjoyed your time going through every quest at it's peak, then more power to you.
>>
>>338248510
I started HoT at around 34 on Death March with a balanced build and it was perfect difficulty wise, I'm 38 now and I read Blood & Wine was for characters around 36-40.

Go play it now.
>>
>>338248889
Not that anon, but this thing is practically necessary in TW3.
When you outleveled a quest, and it turns gray in the journal, it doesn't mean just that it would be easy for you to complete. It drastically reduces the amount of exp you get for completing it.
If you don't hunt secondary quests while they're at least green, you're actually losing quest exp, and thus the max level attainable in the current playthrough.
>>
>>338248889
yeah, I'll admit its a little "gamey" to play like that but I don't get that feel of accomplishment when I finish a 10 minute contract and get 2xp for my troubles.

This is also why I normally don't play this kind of rpgs because I tend to optimize everything, killing the intended flow in the process.

I agree with both of you except for this statement, I just play through the game to enjoy it, I don't care if down the line I help some peasant save his son and I literally get 1XP, the rewarding thing was the gameplay and exposition.

Oh, that's not what I meant.

I've yet to be put in a situation like that so I can't really put in an argument here.

So far, at least, way beyond Skellige in the main storyline at ~lvl 23, I've not run into this problem, and I've played through on Death March, as I mentioned earlier. And I've often gone out of my way to take contracts and side quests. Not all of them though, I mean I didn't calculate which town to go to next to get missions from the message boards.

It's beyond fucking retarded, especially in an open game where exp needed to level barely changes.

You act like the product is some untouchable pure artistic marvel.
In truth the product was already compromised so it can be sold to more people, changing something like that will be an objective improvement even on your first playthrough.

For example Geralt being far too handsome and human looking when he is supposed to be an albino creep or a walking corpse.

The children on the street actually react to this.
But nothing in-game warrants it unless you mod in the lore friendly witcher looks yourself.

Find wraiths and suck their ghost-cock to get your money shot.

Otherwise: Be a filthy battlescav, and take everything not nailed down and not in front of a guard. Hell, in front of a guard if you can run fast enough, they'll forget what you did after they stop chasing you.

Money stops being a problem about halfway through velen, you start reaching a level where you're rolling in FAT WITCHER CONTRACT MONEY.

Get out doing contracts and side quests nigga. I don't know if you're aware, but often you're rewarded with Florens or Orens which you have to convert to crowns in Novigrad.

If you ever feel the need to grind in this game, you're playing it wrong, pure and simple.

Just go to some vendor, see what they're selling, and in turn sell something relevant to them for a good price.
>>
>>338255940
you hardly even need money in this game. when i finished the vanilla game the only thing i ever bought was a few of the gem dusts. if you actually need money sell your monster guts and the armors and weapons you dont need. there's also that one vendor that paid a shitloads for extra trophies you sell, but they might have patched him out.

Started on deaths March (I think that's the hardest difficulty?) and the combat is TOUGH. Not complaining about the difficulty at all, but am I doing something wrong? I tend to die a lot, and I am pretty adept at the souls series / video games in general.

I typically dodge every attack with A to roll... Is that not a good strategy?

Please, for the love of god learn how to use the actual dodge skill, not roll. Second, learn to parry enemies that you can (read bestiary). And third, apply oils and potions as the situation demands.

I personally found the game way more enjoyable once I put the movement to alternate in the game options, while using a gamepad. I'll probably come up with better advice after this post but this is of the top of my head.
>>
>>338257000
dodge, dodge to the back of humans do not spam, use oils, bombsquen if you are that bad
basically roll only from enemies bigger than you on scale of x3
game takes time to master, but nothing beats the fun when you learn to properly dodge and can circle any group of enemies without getting hitthere is that alchemy build that slows time to easily dodge but it's boring
>>
>>338257000
Change the movement or controls to alternate in the settings, the one that modifies the turning radius.

Use the dodge/step maneuver for most attacks. It allows you to follow up with attacks better and doesn't take as long to recover, it's the main way you dodge.
The roll is utilized for enemies with huge AOE attacks or when you aren't focused on counterattacks and need to get the fuck away for some reason.

Always apply hanged man's venom, keep refreshing it between fights since it's always good to have damage buff against humans. Craft northern wind bombs as soon as you can because the freeze ability is a get out of jail free card.

You could always configure it differently if you're on PC. By default is right ALT, though I use a 360 gamepad so I just press the B button.

I can't tell you how to do it, just find a way that you're comfortable with. All I can say is, I use mouse and keyboard for damn near everything, but this game and racing games are the exception.

Snag that one Alchemy tree skill that ups your toxicity threshold for every potion crafted. It's nice early on and as you get farther in the game it lets you go nuts. Especially if you're not specializing in potions.

Alt on m+kb. I remapped it to space and roll to alt. Combat turns fluid and cinematic while remaining challenging, I love it and can't understand people complaining on /v/ about how horrible it is.

A lot of devs like to pull the "it's an expansion, not just bolted on extras, I swear!" but in this case yes. Blood and Wine is an honest to god expansion. Heart of Stone I'd argue is still just some extra content even though it's amazing. But Blood and Wine is a huge new map, an entire UI overhaul, new systems and skill tree modifications and all sorts of new story stuff.

I just say DLC or add-on because it's been like this for over half a decade.

I don't know if I should hurry or not, I'm still on the main storyline, bordering on the end I think. And I got my non intrusive mods and everything, then I have Hearts of Stone, and there's only 10 days left.

Damn it, I'm not going to make it.

FriendlyHUD is a bit heavy with all these features. I've been using immersiveHUD for my last playthrough. It just makes hud invisible, you can watch minimap and objective if you activate witcher senses and hp bar and all that combat related nonsence is not visible out of actual combat or unless you have full hp. Kinda like the same mod for Skyrim.

The Witcher 3 and games like it don't have a story. They have an excuse. It's an excuse for a male power fantasy that pretends to be a story. And depending on how much of a grip male power fantasies have on you, you'll sooner or later just find that you're asking yourself 'why am I doing this?' Why are you? You have no real motivation.

And yes, there are people from various talented vocations from writers, to actors, to painters who'll tell you that motivation in a story is important. And 'male power fantasy' is only so much of a motivation to a certain group of people. You'll have people that tell us that we don't like RPGs, which is brain rot because I've loved plenty of RPGs. I just like RPGs that have a story.

Who are you! You miserable presumptuous no-talent. You're no artist. An artist respects the silence that serves the foundation of creativity. You obviously don't have the talent. You don't have enough respect for yourself or other people or what it is to express yourself. And music really is a form of creativity. And I'm an NYU film school graduate, sucka, in the School of Visual Arts, and The Academy of Art University in San Francisco. You suck, you're a no-talent.

What does over leveling even do for you given that you have limited skill slots? Do you get other stats for leveling besides just vitality? I know more skill points means you can afford to dump points in crap so you unlock good stuff in other trees but for the most part you can get everything you want with the limited skill slots by the time you're 35-40.

He means the Cherry Cordial and that other one that almost never comes from loot, the black and white alcohol needed to make White Gull. Even then, you can buy them from almost any bartender and you only need 1 of each to make a White Gull, which is needed to make the base powder shit for the potions. So at most you'd need like 4-6 of each for a potion (all upgrades), not 50 per potion.

I buy tons of shit and I was at 40k-50k around the end of the game always. And that is AFTER fully upgrading all the Witcher armors to mastercraft which costed tons.

>>338264212
They fixed most of the broken elements. That doesn't mean the alchemy is weak, though. For my 100% playthrough before B&W I made an all-rounder, with some signs, alchemy and swordfight.
Although, basically, the first thing you need is the perk in alchemy increasing your toxicity by 1 per each recipe.
And after that - whirlwind, and longer whirlwind upgrade from the Ofieri merchant from HoS.
>>
>>338264212

Still OP. If you just want to never die and kill shit, get alchemy points in stuff like incerasing your toxicity and oils bleed and junk. Use Ekidna and Arch Griffin decoction and just spam strong attack. You'll heal a ton of health and stagger things all day with each attack. Throw some bombs if shit gets mobby.

Better question is who ISN'T hyped.

I pre-ordered the game and bought the DLC at full price early on but still haven't touched it due to not having access to my gaming PC (studying abroad).

In Planescape Torment you are forced into the incarnation of some resurrecting zombie demigod guy who keeps on fucking up and rebooting and I don't remember the plot.
In Dragon Age you are forced into the role of someone who just suffered a big loss and was outcast from their life, and is joining the Gray Warden order to find a new life for themselves.

I need help PC witcher 3 boys. How well does the game run on pc? Ive got a gtx770 Will I get 60fps?

Is it the kind of game that drops to 40-50 in combat? or a pretty constant 60?

Question to anyone who's played Heart of Stone:

Can I start it at any time?
Do enemies adjust to your level so I can jump straight in?

I have Heart of Stone but I'm waiting for Blood and Wine to replay the whole thing

only reason shiposting is valuable way to spend ones time is because people always respond, only way to deal with it is would be mods banning them.
>>

You can probably get 60fps, but not on high setting.

The quests start at level 32 and quest level typically dictates enemy level.

You can start it at any time but the content is tailored for level 30+ characters. They give you the option of using a pre-built character if you don't want to replay the entire game again.

I found that it runs really well on most decent computers as long as you turn off hair physics. The hair physics really kill your fps even though its pretty cool.

frames only drop in the cities. I started TW3 on a 660 and got 60 on med-high, down to 40 when i first got to novigrad. you can probably expect a solid 60 all around if you don't have a shit processor.
