I can't choose between School of Cat / Griffin / Bear armour, help.

Cat. Without a doubt.

Yea, I'd probably say Cat armour too, stamina regen is best in Light Armour and the final armour value is actually equal on all three sets. Bear swords do more damage mind you...

Just started today. Looks like a very well polished game but I dunno if this'll be something I'll take too.

Is there anything I can do about the movement? It feels incredibly clunky and heavy.

I thought the game was fairly boring until I got about half way through the Velen storyline.

Gets a lot better then. It's also less fun at the start as I found I died way more often, once you start unlocking ability points for attack and sign improvements it becomes a lot more fun.

Armorer too low a level? Also, there is an option that doesn't show recipes that can't be crafted.

armour value is the same but defense ratings for slashing/piercing etc are higher the heavier the armour.
Cat armour is awesome though especially with whirl attacks:D
But I like the look of the Wolven chest amour as its the one I've always associated with Geralt.

Devils puffball helps, and cursed oil.

Easiest method by far for werewolves though is to stun with axii them use heavy attack, then step back and stun again...and keep doing it until he's dead.

All the above. There should be a bestiary entry that tells you what works on what monster. If you dont have the entry go look for books! I believe fire might help negate the regen [IGNI or IGNI rune on weapon].

From what I read it is based on the short stories books.

[About the movie] Apparantly it is absolutely terrible, lol.

Books are great (*), the movie is terrible and tv series is even worse.

(*) I didn'[t read the English translation, so I hope it's good as well.

It's not that - I can see Enhanced Feline (armor) in my Crafting list, and I can see Enhanced Griffin / Ursine (armor) when talking to the armorer (the Mastercraft girl in the Baron's place)
Guess I'll go for a 3+3 armour/weapons set (yes I realise I don't have Grandmaster stuff yet)

Its broken and needs to be repaired, use a repair kit or craftsman to fix it.

Never found the igni method much use for werewolves.

Axii and heavy attacks worked for me.

Im playing this game on the easiest setting and so far I havent had to level up anything to progress, I think I may have to start doing that now but I am finding it a little overwhelming. Would appreciate some tips of getting new weapons armour and specifically the alchemy and magic stuff

You really won't enjoy the game the way it should be enjoyed on the easiest setting. You should be doing the 2nd hardest on your first playthrough otherwise the combat is pointless.

I'd say to do the hardest. Did it on easy at the very start to get used to everything, switched up to the hardest after leaving while or orchard but looking back I probably should have after 2 or so of gameplay. If you hit a brick wall bring the difficulty ultimate down after a few goes then put it back up when you've got past that part.

Kirby

I would disagree with that. The hardest difficulty is quite hard with many monsters one shotting you. Can you use alchemy to cheese it? Of course you can but doesn't that defeat the purpose of playing it on the highest difficulty?

I'd rather avoid exploits or balancing oversights and play as the developers intended. Death march and the like isn't intended for first time players. Only people actively looking to cheese the game....or masochists.

I played it on Sword&Story and its one of my GOTY's. I haven't a notion what the majority of the potions and bombs do. I never used an oil. I might someday come back to deathmarch.

I prefer a challenge.

Death March without Quen or exploits. The witcher gear still overpowers you :pac:

I rarely used bombs unless destroying a nest or required to in a quest. I didnt use potions often and when I did, it was late in the game.

I did frequently use oils though.

why do dwarfs always have scottish accents ?:D

They're female under the armour and beards.

I'm pretty sure there's female dwarves in TW2 they just sound different to the men

Stops more monsters spawning and you can loot the nest.

Well......... no. There's a reason this is reckoned to be possibly the biggest offline game ever made. You've got tonnes ahead of you yet!

Plus if you've got the two DLCs, Hearts of Stone apparently has as many gameplay hours as the Uncharted/newer Tomb Raider games, while Blood & Wine is about double that at least. So... enjoy!

I tried playing this but couldn't get into it. I must give it another go given all the rave reviews. I stopped on the mission where you have to kill the griffin which is one of the first? Is the game play sameish after this or does it change?

That area is the tutorial pretty much, but the gameplay remains the same throughout the rest of the game. Where the game really shines is through the characters you meet and the world they inhabit.

There's plenty of variety in the game, you just have to go further to see it. If you don't like the game by the time you've done a few missions in Novigrad, then it might be fair to leave it. Try and get that far at least, but I'm pretty sure you'll be enjoying even when you get as far as Velen.

I'm playing through Shadow of Mordor now which is pretty great, but I keep thinking to myself every hour or so that goes by "it's just not as good as Witcher 3". Seriously considering a NG+ now even with the disgustingly long backlog I have.

If you were on a trip from Dingle to Dublin you're... probably somewhere around Tralee!

Must try it again so. Embarrassing to have given up at the tutorial stage of a game. I usually give them a fair go before deciding its not for me and I usually enjoy RPG's.

I played it for 10-15 hours and just didn't get the love for it, really enjoyed TW2 but I was coming off the back of Bloodborne and just hated the combat.

Left it aside for like six months, gave it another whack and played for about 3 weeks straight.

Give it another go, definitely.

TitianGerm

I gave up on this because I was only getting on for an hour or two twice a week and when I was playing I always wanted to play for longer.

I do plan on getting back into it eventually.

I did the same and I had loved the previous 2.
Think I blame GTA V for spoiling me .
Went back to it after a few months and loved it
