The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Thread starter Paul_cz
- Start date
Cos despite letting me customise my character, Skyrim never succeeded in making give two hoots about anything in the game, I therefore did not feel that I was playing a 'role' as such. Or if I did, then only a rather pointless and vapid role.
As others have said, playing the other two isn't necessary although it is good to have a bit of background in the lore and story. As entertaining as the first game was at the time (I never finished it though), there are lots of annoying things about it that a modern gamer and/or a more action orientated gamer might not tolerate. For one, Witcher 1 still has one foot in the turn based point n click side of the RPG fence. There are about a dozen character faces which you will see time and time again, all the building interiors are a bit crap and repetitive. Also Witcher 1 is definitely a game that must be played with keyboard n mouse. Sitting back in an armchair with a gamepad would be totally out the question for this game.
Witcher 2 however, is a masterpiece, and it would be a great shame if you were to miss this title simply because you chose to play the Witcher 3 first. I played through the Witcher 2 twice, and each time, was a totally different game, due to me purposely making different choices each time. Think there is something like 32 different paths that a gamer can take through the Witcher 2 in total.
Great game, stunning visuals, great characters, dialogue, story, fun combat as well (better combat than TW3 imo). Only gripe is that it isn't 'open world', with invisible barriers a plenty (which is something I hate).
Get the Witcher 2, play it through, and then import your save game into Witcher 3 (choices you made in 2 will affect events in 3).
That there will be at least a couple of hundred hours of grade A story driven RPG gaming that cannot be matched by any other title.

Wow Skellige is awesome, like going to scandinavia in the height of the viking ages! Once again the attention to detail in this game is just incredible, you really feel like you've taken a trip to another culture and land completely. Continues to impress me around every corner this game, even with it's little faults.
Now time to get my Ursine armor set!

When I do that it spills over to my other monitorand it's connected to my 4600???
Switch to fullscreen and not borderless
If it zooms then switch back to 1080p in game full screen and then back to 2560x
And incase I don't like it either when I get home later on tonight, what do I change:
TextureMipBias
Back to, and in what ini file do I find this tweak?

Yep, two of my gripes (admittedly minor) gripes with the game.
Soldato
Cheers for that. Mine were indeed on low. GG with the patch there CDProject :/If you've updated to the latest 1.04(?) patch make sure to go into your graphical settings and reset the textures back to high or ultra. After the patch they are set to LOW
Soldato
I noticed this too, at first I thought what a job they did with optimization in this patch then went in the settings and had a suprise
The game looks that good even on the lower settings, but better crank them up if you can

Just upgraded my griffin armour and swords.
Managed to get my mods working again after the patch it disabled the fair price mod but I might knock the pricing down from 70% more to 40% more.
Just starting playing gwent need to get myself a better deck

I think it happens as the rendering quality has been improved when using high and ultra in the patch so it has to reset it in your config
You change it to 1 I think its set to -1 at the moment and its in your documents/witcher3 and then user.settings file.
How did you get them working again?
Soldato
The weight one was still working, but the fair trade one got disabled I just had to run the .Bat file again
My latest SweetFX if anyone wants to try it

I like this one. Not as dark as some of the others ive tried, and when running in borderless window mode you loose the Gamma option, so this works great!
