The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Performance is much better for me as well. I can finally play with hairworks on without taking a hit(though it is underwhelming tbh).

Can't believe they haven't fixed Roach going round in circles yet!...it has killed me 3 times today.

Fired up the expansion earlier, first time I've played since June, game seems to run a lot smoother now.

Since the update I've noticed that if I talk to somebody when the camera goes back to the normal view it blurs everything for a while, I'm sure this didn't happen before, I guess I've got a graphical option enabled that I didn't have previously but can't work out which, anyone have an idea which it could be, I've tried disabling quite a few?

Kinda annoyed now that following the patch I'm getting a quest that I've completed marked as failed, makes me wanna wait and see if there is a fix before playing the expansion.

Finished Hearts of Stone today. Absolutely fantastic, well worth the price.

I haven't played the game since I completed it in May/June (patch 1.04/1.05?) - There have been some great changes since I last played.

I did a few side quests and new ? to get to level 39. Almost ready for a new game+ run as I have fallen back into love with this game

We'll see what Fallout 4 is like but it'll be extremely difficult for anything to take game of the year over Witcher 3 imo.

I take it this is still viable to pick up in the steam sales?

Do you need to wait for a Steam sale? You can get a non Steam (GOG) version for about £15, or a Steam version for about £25 if you look at cd key sites.

I now get this also. After finishing a conversation with someone takes a second or two for everything to get into focus. I don't think its a setting change as I have double or triple checked and I still have the same settings pre and post patch 1.10 when this effect seem to occur.

I'm picky and would prefer to have a steam copy lol. Weird I know.

I know what you mean and I've never seen a game be so expensive on steam and hardly get reduced (except for the overpriced Modern Warfare series)
This is one game that is value for money though with the hours of gaming you are provided but I get you will get even more in Fallout 4 which is cheaper.

I used to be the same, but decided it just wasn't worth the premium.

Agree....Game of the Year for me and after just finishing that Xpac, its more of the SUPERB writing and already amazing game.

That Gaunter O'Dimm...what a fantastic/mysterious Antagonist...can only assume he is the Devil?

Has anyone tried the mod that removes level restrictions on weapons and armour?

chroniclard · 18 Oct 2015 at 22:28

Hoping Fallout 4 is way better than this, far too flawed and boring after a while.

You've just described how I felt about fallout 3, so I hope its better than that.

Thanks, glad its not just me. Odd, can't see anything that seems to relate to it in the patch notes. Not a great issue I guess, if it had always been like that then I wouldn't have been bothered, preferred it as it was before though.

Finished Hearts of Stone yesterday. Took me 20 hours. Best expansion ever made no contest.

Just started it myself. Witcher 3 is without a doubt my game of the year!

You can buy a "Steam" copy/cd-key off the usual cd key selling websites. Simply add the code to Steam and voilà you have it on Steam

Yes, but they're considerably more expensive!

My problem with Witcher 3 came when I hit about level 27ish, and levelling up basically became pointless; all of the abilities I can buy into just don't add anything to my character or cause me to lose something important about how he plays.

Also the high level armour just seems poor.

The viper weapons are fine, but the viper armour is poor.
I didn't find any good (or even average) light armour in the DLC.
