Fierce_LiNk Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 It'll definitely be interesting to see. I do wonder though if we'll be connecting with the world as much with a silent Link. It makes a huuuuge difference having a character who talks. Also, voice acting just improves things so much more. Xenoblade wouldn't have had it's humourous moments without the British voices or voice acting. I'm taking the secondary quests more seriously in this, partly because they feel more real...telling the herbalist that if you give the girl the swallow potion, she might live but also might die horrifically, it sounds much more serious when you actually hear the words rather than seeing them.

Tales Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Damn, so I haven't finished the Keira questline >_> Lv 11 currently. Focusing more on story quest now seeing as I have a higher level than required. Currenlty a few quest in the Novigord questline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choze Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I couldnt get into Dragon age Inquistion will I be able to enjoy this? It had a ton going for it but i found it boring. Wondering if I should buy now or wait for some patching? Seems like another interesting tech win for PS4. MKx, PCars and this in a row. The PC version of The Witcher 3 has higher settings (uber) than PS4 but a Titan X (£1000) doesnt get close to 60 fps at uber with Nvidia gameworks features off at 1080p. The 970 will require tweaking to get to 30 fps before gameworks features are enabled. Definately not worth buying the current batch of PC GPU given the obscene pricing.

Happenstance Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yes this is much better. I couldn't get into Dragon Age Inquisition either (although I plan to try again at some point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I just keep hnnnnnnggggging at this game. Made it to Velen and there was rain. Lightning. I thought I'd just ride around for a bit and there just seemed to be tons and tons of stuff. There really is a sense of this containing a real living-in world. Really enjoying the combat. Think I'm getting the hang of how the game works now, just crafted myself a new sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a consistent 60fps at 1080p on a 970 with most on Ultra apart from Shadow Quality and Grass Density to High. Nvidia Hairworks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) How do you find out your playtime? Can't find it. Character page, press R2. Not sure it's correct. I don't think I have been playing for 28 hours. Seems a bit too much. Users on Gamefaqs suspects the same thing.

Not exactly right, the PS4 isn't running hair works either. Without hairworks I can max the game on a 290x which is a two year old card come August. With hairworks, it can still be playable after a tessellation tweak in the driver control panel, and I haven't gotten the newest drivers yet that improve performance further.

Mandalore Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Got to the bit where you say about what happened in the past game. There weren't that many questions and none related to the original game. Then asked some random guy for a game of Gwent and it crashed. I've lived in Gwent all my life and never crashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did all of the stuff before the fight and lost it about twice before I used Yrden sign/magic trap. Seemed to be easy from then on in. I let the man keep the money for his daughter. It looked like he had tears in his eyes in the cutscene. Would've felt like a prick had I taken the money. Hunted some deer with the cross-bow soon after to make up for my good actions.

drahkon Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Anyone know a good place to get a saddle bag? If you don't want to spend money (except for the bet) do the horse races (no idea where I got the quest, though. Probably on one of the notice boards). I think you'll get a +30 equipment load saddlebag. I, however, bought the +30 one from a merchant only to discover 15 minutes later a+70 saddlebag at another merchant...it cost around 350 crowns.

Happenstance Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks. Its driving me crazy at the moment as im getting to the point where a lot of the weight is coming from ingredients and crafting items that I dont want to get rid of incase I need them later!

Well, you probably won't need ingredients later. As soon as you made a potion it will always be filled up again when you meditate - that is, if you have strong alcohol with you. Bombs refill as well after meditation but I have no idea if that uses any materials/ingredients. And if you do need ingredients later on you can easily find them or - which is more practical - buy them. Go to an alchemy supplier and buy whatever herbs you need to craft a potion/bomb. Chances are you won't need these materials again soon. Edited May 24, 2015 by drahkon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I think even he would give in at that moment. Struggled earlier with: The quest where you go to the werewolf's lair and have to kill it - The Wild At Heart quest. I did everything apart from...kill the fucking beast. I keep dying and it regenerates health. Going to go back to it later when I'm stronger.
