I'm pretty far ahead from that. Although I MIGHT have some old saves, I'll check. I'm currently level 13, done the baron quest and now in Novigrad doing 'Broken Flowers'.

So I take it they never fixed this? I Haven't played in over a month and that was one of my major gripes of Geralt auto sheathing his swords away.
Finished H0S, overall not to bad. Started ng+(lvl 39) and enjoying it all over again. My suit of armour I had in the original save, is no longer available atm, it is level 63, so it will be a while before I can use it again. At lvl 44 atm.
Playing it a little different from the first two playthroughs, making different decisions and put all my points into upgrading my signs. Have quite a few of the potions to reset the points, so will try various combos.

Almost.
I have Foliage Distance turned down one notch. I have Shadows set to Medium(cant tell the difference between it, High and Ultra but it saves a nice little chunk of performance). And I run with Hairworks off.
This gives me a pretty reliable 60fps at 1080p.
I can turn Foliage Distance to Ultra and it's still mostly 60fps, but with regular drops. Looks great in wide open scenery, but I'd rather have the consistent framerate.
You can crank everything up and on if you dont mind 30fps, though even then, I'd rather run at 1440p than use Hairworks.
Not had any issues with Geralt suddenly sheathing his sword, but have died a few times when I have gotten to close to an object when fighting. The camera view is obscured and so you can't see which way Geralt is facing or how many enemies are close to you. Have tried quickly hitting the directional buttons, but you are dead before you have a chance to hit a couple. Now I just try to stay away from walls, etc and fight in the open, as much as I can.
Yes, 1200p in fact, everything ultra including view distances. I did end up switching off Nvidia hairworks though, it looks terrible with constant clipping, was running fine with it on.
I'd probably reduce the graphics slightly to get a solid 60fps if I was playing mouse & keyboard, but I play controller.
I've gone off the Witcher 3 a bit. I don't know if I just need to break through the initial grind (like I had to in the first one), but at the moment it feels like I'm being forced to do all the alchemy stuff, read the bestiary before fighting a new monster and so on otherwise it'll be overly difficult.
It feels like they've gone too far off the first two, in particular the first one in terms of adding too many RPG-like features. They need to stop trying to make it as huge and RPG-esque as Skyrim/Fallout/Oblivion etc. That stuff works well in those games, but isn't working for me in the Witcher 3.
I know it is an RPG, but it's a difficult one to explain. In the first one they just had a few of those features, but now they've gone all out and it doesn't feel like they've done a very good job.
I don't know, I'll give it a bit more time I guess.
It wasn't all the time but it was quite frequent, for example there could be a group of 6 drowners and I kill 4 of them, two are still in the conflict zone and Geralt would decide to put his sword away while the drowners jumped at me.
The camera is annoying especially when fighting outdoor but close to interiors (castles etc), your view can become quickly disorientated.
I agree. I think if I could say one thing to the game it would be this- 'you are not an RPG, stop pretending to be one'. It is a great Story-driven action adventure game, probably the best ever imo, but every attempt to make the game more RPG-like just gets in the way and never really works. There are hardly any useful skills at most points in the game really...at level 8 I had unused points simply because none of the ones available seemed interesting(making fast attacks 5% more damage, make a sign 5% better etc). It all seems tacked on.
The game would be much improved in pretty much every way if level restrictions were removed. ATM, for example, you have a quest with a level 30 requirement say, the final fight in it is level 30. You can pick it up at level 5, which I'm ok with, but you should really save it until later in the game. Now, you can still try and do the quest at level 5, and it would be a great challenge, but even if you do kill the level 30 opponent, the reward will most likely have a level restriction on it, which is just poor risk/reward gameplay...It should be 'if you can kill this level 30 monster at level 5, you deserve this amazing gear.'
There is a mod that removes level restrictions on gear, but it is buggy I found.
HairWorks is a FPS killer and in my opinions doesn't offer much anyway.
I think you are getting the burned out feeling I always seem to get, I play for a few weeks at a time, get worn out by it all, dont play for a few weeks then get the urge to come back to it but then cannot get back into it. Then I start a new game, get burned out again and the cycle goes on, never did finish the main story line
Yea I bought everything just in-case there was any quests that come from the additional items. The Glasses look really funny on Geralt
By the way I looked it up and there are both a new Steel/Silver Viper SwordsI know how to get them now but I won't spoil that for you.
Thanks, that's good to know. I look forward to finding them.

Fallout 4 around the corner
Indeed I'm trying not to get too excited for it though as I loved F3 but New vegas just wasn't the same for me.
It took everything that made the main story good and improved it, getting new style of missions, story was more padded out. Cutscenes are better quality.
For £8 I'd really recommend picking it up, as soon as I started playing it, it brought memories back from June when I'd finished it, with all the bug fixes and graphic tweaks it's made TW3 look even better.
Finally someone else agrees
Fallout 3 I probably had in total around 200 hours of game time, New Vegas at most maybe 30-40 hours, it just didn't feel as good or immersive, I tried going back to it a few months ago and lasted 20 minutes before uninstalling it again, it just feels bland and unfinished.
Can anyone recommend SweetFX settings that play nicely with the latest version of TW3? I've never used SweetFX before and am curious to see what the fuss is about
I've settled on this profile. Nice and stubtle but I love what it does to the skin tones. Works fine with the latest version of ReShade

If you cant get it to work, just google to see which .dll file you need to delete/replace.
Played the Witcher 3 for another couple of hours last night. I ended up reducing the difficult to 'just the story' which is much better. Boss fights are still fun having to dodge/roll etc. but not overly difficult and don't require you to read the bestiary for an hour, brew potions for another hour, then die
I'm off work for 2 weeks following surgery so have had time to play this again.
I can't believe it's taken me 100 hours to get around to completing "Ugly Baby".
So much exploring and stuff to do, this game is crazy.
As for Kaer Morhem... I really like Lambert now, he's my fave witcher
BTW did they introduce scaling to some quests or something, because a few I've done that are below me were actually quite tricky. Or maybe I'm just really rusty.

The whole series of events at Kaer Morhen are brilliantly written and executed. Really enjoyed peeing off Yen and getting teleported above the lake and of course, had to annoy her again by trying to get some bitches in
Triss is far nicer than Yen IMO; Yen is a real cow.
