I pity the poor PS players, we dangle this great series of games in front of them for the 3rd game and then say that's it you get no more
I don't understand this videogame tribalism. "Ye" didn't dangle anything in front of PS players (unless you work for CDPR).
The first game is now complete junk, while the second one is only worth playing on PC (it was impressive they got it running on the 360, but the amount of loading screens and tearing is painful).
And a lot of PS players will be multiformat owners anyway.0 -

I'm only yanking your chain, I'm a PS player as well
It's just nice that the PC has some big name brands that consoles don't have a claim on
I know we also have RTS, MOBA, and MMORPG's over console but Witcher is a special snow flake

I have so many questions! Who can help a brother out?
So Im level 2 and coming to terms with how long it takes to level up. I havent progressed the main quest yet beyond my overweight buddy sitting in the tavern skulling pints. Hes lazy. why doesnt he just come with me? Ive been trying to find random side quests in the area via the notice board and by being nosey. All bar one "?" are discovered now on the map. The last "?" is behind a level 4 ghost who wields a sword in a cemetery that has one of those power stones so I havent been able to kill that yet.
So here are my questions.- Is there any point in doing random fight encounters? Unless its a quest there doesnt seem to be XP wins for doing them?
- Is there such thing as 'companions' similar to fallout/Skyrim?
- Any way to prevent my weapons/armour of damaging? (One of my pet peeves in games is weapons and armour that needs to be repaired) Its super expensive from this lad I helped find the chap who tried to burn his house down.
- Im becoming overburdened weight wise. I saved up HARD to buy my first saddlebags. Its costly to have the above lad dismantle found goods. Does it help if create potions or does that make me even worse? I loot everything but I have no idea whats really junk and whats really useful
- Any levelling up tips?
- I have gained about 5 experience points which I have put into the Shield magic thing and a combat thing. Given I have only 2 available slots, am I doing the right thing?
Cheers for the help!0 -

Answers! (as best as I can)
1. Short answer: Yes. In the beginning definitely. Because you need the **** they drop for selling or crafting/alchemy.
2. No companions for 98% of questing!
3. No way to avoid wear and tear. Best thing is to loot as much as possible, as this will get you loads of weapon and armour repair kits. Also, go regularly and early to get your stuff repaired. And try not to get hit too much, that'll save on costs. :pac:
4. I'd avoid buying stuff for Roach just now. Maybe saddlebags if you ABSOLUTELY have to. Later, you can take part in races. The prizes are all stuff for her, like saddles, saddlebags and blinders. Potions and food don't impact your weight. Definitely sell swords/armour you don't need. I wouldn't worry too much about dismantling them at the moment. You need sweet sweet coin for now. The gear you'll want to make doesn't really come into play until around lv 11 when you get your witcher gear diagrams.
5. Generally, the main quests give you more experience. But remember, you're still technically in the tutorial area. Game hasn't really started yet.
6. This is up to you and your playstyle, but shield and sword are good bets. You can get a potion later that rests these if you found you bought abilities you don't really use, so don't be afraid to experiment I say.
General tips:
The first few levels are difficult! Power through and you won't regret it! ^_^
Witcher contracts generally have the best monetary reward.
PLAY GWENT. It's a great side game and crops up in some main quests. You don't HAVE to play it, but highly recommended.
Use block/parry for humans with weapons and dodge/roll for monsters.
And above all....
When the time of the White Frost comes, don't eat yellow snow.0 -

Don't you mean the Witcher is a great side game to Gwent 0 -

I've never played any faction but Northern Realms up until this evening, spamming my spies and decoys all over the gaff.Just built the Skellige deck and won the Gwent tourny. Difficult, but satisfying to learn and implement a new deck. I kept expecting to be able to grab loads more from my deck, but it was far more tense. Great stuff.
Also noticed there's a trophy to kill Golyat with a crossbow to the eye.0 -
