Upgraded feline armor? Looks nice.
This is 100% me. Are you my Doppleganger, or am I yours?

Got lots of points in signs now and they're wrecking shit. Not sure if I should use Feline armour or Griffin, faster stamina regen or sign intensity.
Anyone know where the bear school armour map is? I've found the enhanced steel sword plan while I was roaming between islands but that's about it.

My GOTY so far. This is the most fun I've had with an RPG in a long time. Absolutely stomps Dragon Age for me. And I actually find myself wanting to do the side quests because I'm into the story and characters so much. That usually never happens for me in these types of games.
Yep, I think you summed up all my complaints.
As to the game's quality and compelling nature over other open world games, I think it helps that we're playing a *character* who has at least some personality and stakes in the world. Geralt's personality is slightly left open for you to insert your own choices, however he's still a distinct character with a background and history that's tied to the world. I get the value in true, blank-state roleplaying, but I must say that it's refreshing to have such a wide open world with a strong central character that is, in general, likeable. Red Dead Redemption was also more compelling due to this, however, I feel that The Witcher 3 has far better quests and side characters, at least so far.

Just a divorced old fart with no social life and an unhealthy addiction to video games I think.

Any level 23/24/25 quests that are doable if you're only level 15?

That is kinda pushing it but I take on things 5-6 levels over myself quite frequently. Just be prepared for the dance of dodge and spam a shit ton of Quen.

This has probably been asked a million time, but I only just got the game so haven't been in the thread. Is there a way to view multiple quests on the map screen? I got my first 3 or 4 in white orchard and it seems I have to tab between the map and quest screen to track another quest and see where it is.
Divorce (Marriage) is the separator. We can enjoy all the silver we want now!
Think I'm at about 61 hours, playing since...late Wednesday, I think. Took some of the reviews and Giant Bomb to make me purchase a game I hadn't planned on (or paid any attention to leading up to release). Holly Shirts, it's great not anticipating things, sometimes, and being pleasantly surprised.

I need armor.
Good looking armor.
Just give me armor DLCs.
I'll freakin buy them if I have to.
All the armors are so damn ugly.
Just crafted the complete griffin set. Great stats - ugly as sin.
Makes Geralt look like a fatty.
WHY do so many armors make you look like a fatty when the starting armor makes you look impossibly thin?
I don't get it. Stop giving me ugly armors!

Griffin one has bonuses geared more toward sign use and bear I think is more towards swordplay. haven't made the felyne yet so I don't know what that has.
Individual relic pieces can be better than anything from those sets sometimes.

If you think Griffin armor looks ugly I doubt you'll like the look of any armor...

thsanks..can you update the swords of those sets too?
Nah, I have it too and I think it's not the best. Later armors look better, particularly Ursine.
Cat increases stamina regeneration and adds bonuses to attack power, Griffin has medium stamina regeneration and bonuses to Signs, while Bear has the biggest health pool, slower stamina regeneration and bonuses to adrenaline generation.
I'm now level 34 and specced in mostly sword combat + upgraded Quen + the ability which lets you cast signs with adrenaline and Bear set, just for the looks. It plays alright, not easy but not too OP either. The Griffin armor is fugly with the beer belly and golden shine, while the Cat armor us cool on level 1 and the next ones look pretty boring. Bear also looks best on level 1, but the upgrades look good enough to justify the upgrade, plus the glyph slots that increase the power of the Signs are pretty cool.
I have yet to try out full magic or alchemy builds, but I can't imagine throwing bombs, drinking 10 potions and constantly swapping oils before each fight to be fun. Though apparently gibbing people with the Grapeshot bombs is pretty fun.

Yeah they have 3 levels like the armor
Just noticed that my phones auto correct spells feline as felyne. Stupid Monster Hunter

Maybe I was just used to the ugly jester armor when I got the griffin armor. I thought it looked good.

Fair ways in, where can I find the respec potion now?

I took 4 days off and had 67 hours clocked on Sunday morning. I'd probably hit 100 hours now too if I didn't have to get back to work.
There's a merchant in the north east square part of Novigrad who sells it, he's inside a building on the western side of that square I think. Also there's a master alchemist in Skellige, but you need to do a quest for him before he lets you trade with him. I also think he also only has 5 in stock while the Novigrad trader has an unlimited quantity.
I must have respected like 3 or 4 times during my play time. I thought I have much more money than I needed, and then I got to Skellige and saw the prices for top tier sword runes. The Best ones cost close to 1k per piece. Went from 12k to 2k in like half an hour. Upgrading stuff and buying runes I expensive.

Also nearing 100 hours. Only reached Skellige and done 2 missions. Still haven't completed the search in the other towns/cities for Ciri lol.
Ya'll are ridiculous. I'm 42 hours in (And it's already my most played steam game, just above Just Cause 2 @ 42h and Deus Ex HR @ 39h), STILL have not Finished Family Matters, gone to Novigrad, or Skellige. I've pretty much been exploring all of south Velen and doing sidequests and stuff trying to level up.
I did finish
Wandering in the Dark with Keira and what a mission that was. Nithral was a beast. And I am 15 pounds overburdened by all the rich loot I got exploring every nook and cranny.

A bunch of blacksmiths sell it for 1000 gold. You can technically buy them very early in the game if you have the gold.

Ugh, I wish I didn't rush through Skellige. I could have easily dragged out the game to 100 hours.

I don't think I have ever played a game for 15 hours in 1 day once, let alone 7 in a row.

I'm really baffled by random loading screens during cutscenes (playing on PS4). Yesterday I was doing (Witcher 2 spoiler)
quest - and there were black "Loading" screens right in the middle of conversation.

I think I hit 12, maybe 13 on Saturday. That might be the highest since I was a little kid. lol

I think I'm just gonna spend all of tonight exploring the points of interest in velen. I've amassed quite a large amount of them. It's quite ridiculous, I think my map says there are 63 of them.

Haha, this is some game if I can say I've only played 74 hours

You could probably shave off up to 10 hours considering I've left the game running to duck out for a smoke, lunch, shit, cook, whatever. I also lost my job and buddies have been busy during the week so I've had plenty of time to destroy myself with video games.
Game is okay.
An overwhelming majority of Skellige is unexplored and unquested, and I still have numerous things left to do in Novigrad and Valen. I'm also apparently about 60% through the main story arc.
I play slow though.
This basically. Last game I chewed up unhealthy hours playing would have been Mass Effect 3 maybe? I finished that obscenely quickly and did everything. But this has been an otherworldly time sink.

Definitely not. In fact, I'm not actually sure it's *that* much bigger than Skyrim in terms of landmass unless Skellige is like way bigger than I'm expecting.
Still really big and a great size. And more importantly - filled with great content.

I think it's mad ugly. Much prefer the Ursine set I'm rocking at the moment.

I invested in fast attacks more than strong (obviously), plus those cat skill perks
Level 21
Fast attack 621
Fast attack *critical* 1221
Strong attack 973
Strong attack *critical* 1111
I usually only strong attack as the first swing in a counterattack combo
