Where did you get that Griffon armor and sword? The diagrams? If it's abit into Velen don't say but if it's on the 1st island I wouldn't mind knowing! As long as it's light armor, crit is OP.

Its medium armour and its in Velen thats all I will say.

If you want light armour you will need the cat version of the witcher armour

Teleporter I think.

P.S. that Griffin can suck my left one, spent like 10 minutes chipping it down to half HP and the first time it hits me, it one shots me from full HP. :mad:

Yep. That's the one. I hit it a few times, then it did a move I hadn't seen before and destroyed me in one hit!

Try this one as well

Not mine, found it while searching and it seems to be the best at least for my liking.

I just made the Cat School gear

Really nice light armour set, with an interesting quest to go with it.

Guys, is there a list of decent sweetfx profiles?

I'm not keen on the vividness of vanilla. I'm about to buy despite my reluctance on release.

Thanks

Also, GOG keys, are they redeemable on Steam?

No, GoG keys will not work on Steam.

Also this is the profile I am using, give it a go as well:

So, I've played a good few hours now and what a missed opportunity this is. It's another totally over hyped game ruined by poor control and awful repetitive tedious button mashing.

I will probably carry on playing it for the time being but I'm surprised that hardly anyone else seems to find problems with it.

I think I'm about to regret my purchase too. Couldn't stand the combat in Witcher 1, still fairly clunky and bad in 2.

I'm struggling to find a cheap steam key

Could users of 1080p systems give me a wee pointer? I've just hooked up my 2nd system to my 55" TV and I'm getting screen tearing (oh how quickly I'd gotten used to Gsync!).

What's my best setup for a 3570k and gtx 980 at 1080p? Obviously I'm happy to have it cap at 60 fps but this tearing isn't good.

Adaptive vsync in the Nvidia control panel.

The combat can be clunky but it can also be very good. The problem is that it is nowhere near as responsive as it needs to be for what they want you to do. Something like parrying is hit and miss because of this. Bomb throwing too. I often press the button to throw a bomb and I'm mobbed by enemies before Geralt had even moved an inch!

When it works it is very good though.

I couldn't finish 1 and 2 because of the clunkyness despite an excellent story but this is a vast improvement IMO enjoying it immensely.

The level of detail in the game world is the best thing about it though, it's phenomenal, right down to the tiniest things you barely notice

This sweetfx is pretty awesome

Yeah, initially I thought the combat was pretty good but imo it is very poor:

- parry/block is hit and miss, only useful against humans with light weapons, just have to dodge for very other type of attack/creature
- by the time you get to use fire, TK, magic trap etc. most of the higher level creatures will have hit you
- when against guys with an axe, for some reason they seem to be able to damage me despite them not actually doing anything except standing there with their axe :confused:

- I am on the second part/town/map ve.... something

and it is a pita dealing with the creatures spread across the map as they are fast and you are against about 6+ so by the time you do a quick attack, it is guaranteed one will have hit you
- having to replace your weapons frequently (after 3-4 fights) because of them damaging quickly

Overall, I am just finding the combat tedious, overly complicated (although I can see why people like this type of combat), shadow of mordor combat was a lot more fun and enjoyable imo. Not really bothered about the story either, I am just enjoying the exploring and doing the ? quests tbh.

EDIT:

And yes personally I hate games with cut scenes where you choose what to say etc. for about 5 minutes but that is just me

Oop didn't see that, thank you mate. Damn shame medium armor doesn't give much when you level it, all the best looking armors are medium.
