Yes, you will have the exact same content as if you had GOTY edition.

Thanks mate, but probably should have been clearer, as I don't have vanilla W3 installed just now, if I purchase the expansion pack, do you have to install all the patches (since launch) one by one manually or would it install 'the whole lot' in one shot?

If you buy on GOG, you will get both GOTY "all in one" installation, as well as separate one where you can install just the base game if you want.
If you buy on Steam, it will just add the expansions to your base game and when you download it it will contain everything.

Thanks, that's the info I was after.
 
I play with the Enhanced Edition mod, it makes the game much more enjoyable for me as it ups the challenge a bit.
Wouldn't play the game without it now.
 
Having an issue guys maybe you can help

I recently decided to jump back in to blood and wine, my last save was in December :( however it's fine I seem to be back in to the swing of things!

However the game is on my old standard HDD so I decided to uninstall and then reinstall on my SSD as the loading is on the slow side

However it won't install! I'm on GoG. I choose the C: drive and folder to install to. It starts to do something then just fails and claims not enough disc space, although there's plenty.

Any ideas?

Also am I right in thinking as I owned the base vanilla game and expansions separately, that's how I need to install it to access my saves? Not the GOTY version they have dropped in to my library

When you say plenty of space how much are you talking about exactly?

I ask because the only guess that comes to mind is that its downloading files to a temp location before install, so it may possibly be taking twice the size to install, as your destination is your root drive where all windows temp files will download to, or its possibly increasing the size of the page file to hold the temp data. Could maybe try changing the windows temp file folder to your hdd. Also keep in mind that you are supposed to keep either 10 or 20% (cant remember which) of your ssd free for it to move files around to save wear on it.

As far as I know the goty & is exactly the base game & both expansions, so it shouldnt make any difference, again this is a pure guess.

I guess it could be that! It suggests 36gb I think and I have 80gb left so maybe I need to free up some space. I'm a bit confused as I don't really have much installed on the ssd but my space seems to be very limited! Is there a good way of seeing what's taking up room? I'm not too up on storage related stuff

Appreciate your advice

Still no luck, I now have 140gb free and it just won't do it.set temp folders to the other hdd as some of these posts suggest and still nothing :(

So if I manage to get the goty version installed, it will have my cloud saves ready to go from the normal version?

If I can get that far lol :(
 
bit more of a mess about, reinstalled GoG and still wouldnt go. then tried changing the game to install in the same directory as the GoG client and now its going. God knows :D

hopefully it picks up my Vanilla Witcher 3 save games on the cloud as im installing the GotY version

I am a big fan of "The Wticher". The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an amazing Game as ever, very nice environment, story and general gameplay, BUT...unfortunately not so entertaining as the previous ones...
I could say that i got a little bored especially with the 2 expansions "Hearts of Stone" + "Blood and Wine"

Did you play it all in one go or play the expansions separate? I imagine all in one go as one game would feel like too much of the same gameplay wise
 
Haha ;) just thinking because when the main game came out I got half way through and burned out! So had a break for months and came back to it. Then took ages to start the first dlc, but loved the story! Then a huge break again for B&W currently!
 
I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but enjoying it so far, level 11 just completed the Baron story and working my way through the side quests in Velen.

But the amount of sidequests and especially when I open the map and it's totally covered in question marks is a bit overwhelming and I'm wondering where to go next, I've been doing the sidequests and contracts level 10 or below, is it just a case of slogging through them?

And any recommendations on skills, so far I've gone for the obvious ones that give attack bonuses and the sign that helps persuade people in mission dialogues.
Are there any particular skills that you definitely need to put points in?
