What is the Complete Edition exactly? I can't find much definitive info. Does it add anything?

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' Complete Edition Update: Aug. 30 Release, $49.99 All-In-One Disc Brings New Game Mode, All Expansion Packs, 16-Piece DLC Bonus

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition" disc will contain the base game along with the "Hearts of Stone" and "Blood and Wine" expansions. It will also carry the new game mode and 16 pieces of free DLC bonus, most of which are just cosmetic options.

"The Witcher 3" 16-piece DLC bonus that were made available for free includes new armor sets and the ability to transform Geralt's haircuts and facial hair. It also includes a new contract, alternate looks for Ciri, Triss and Yennefer. Some extra quests and extra Gwent cards are also incorporated.

Both are quite literally the very first google result........

I did, but half the pages wouldn't load for me as I'm at work using their WiFi, and I got frustrated! Only things I got were mentioned of a new game mode and free DLC. I was hoping it might be like TW2 one that had some new stuff.

Also, I saw somewhere it was said that your save files won't work with the Enhanced Edition. I don't get it if all it is is stuff we already have. That's what got me wondering. Is it just for consoles?

No it's confirmed for all current platforms

Is there anyway to buy the extra stuff or are they forcing those that wish to experience the new content to buy the whole game again?

Finished everything on NG+ over the weekend, sad that it's all over now and uninstalled

Still nearly 180 hours out of two playthroughs isn't bad at all.

Maybe I've misunderstood but from what I see there is no extra stuff? It's just everything currently available in one bundle

What extra stuff? You can already buy the expansions separately and the 16 bonus dlc have always been free.

Still crawling through Blood and Wine. Starting to feel a bit sad that it's heading towards an end. 331 hours played - this must be the best value for money I've ever had from a game. :eek:

I'd completed the main game, and was partway through HOS when I lost my saves due to not backing up before a reinstall.

Now I need to start from scratch. Value for money++

If you really want, I can look and see if I still have a manual save in HoS. I'd be a bit peeved at doing everything again without having completed the game and expansions first. My choices may differ a fair bit to you, though (ie: Triss).

So, second playthrough finished, 180 hours..completed every single quest I found, gathered all the gwent cards, even brought the books to the naive guy on Snidhall

It is great how much stuff got fixed and improved since release, although my two biggest story issues are still present..but I will consider

Dijkstra to be a doppler hired to impersonate him in case his betrayal did not work...maybe not intended by the devs who dropped the ball here, but whatever

And Saskia was at least in the comics, so better than nothing.

And something I did not notice year ago, what world is this ?

Now after finishing I enabled the point of interest markers, see I still have some unexplored so I will do those and then onwards to Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.
Here are few postcards

Paul, what fps do you get at 4k DSR and at what settings exactly?

Ultra preset, hairworks disabled, 30-40fps. Postprocessing all enabled with sharpening low.

But since I prefer 60fps, most of my playtime is in 1440p DSRed (ultra, shadows medium).

Great screenshots Paul.

Totally worth however much your rig cost you when you can get an experience like that and enjoy it as much as you clearly have.

Paul_cz · 16 Aug 2016 at 17:51

Eh, my rig is 5 years old 2500K

But I did sell 970 and exchanged it for 1070, so that did set me back a few hundred quid.

Ansel is now available for this game, including super-resolution captures. You need patch 1.24 and the latest nvidia driver (372.54).

Starting reading the books, which in turn got me playing the DLC again after a bit of a hiatus ( bit overwhelming after not playing it for a year). Anyway, back in the swing of things again and loving it. Just had a moment under a moonlit lake.....

Digital X · 19 Aug 2016 at 13:57
