This is just the right amount of polygons for me to be satisfied.

Shinobi you should add the GOG link to the OT

Can't wait for it, loved the main game and the first expansion.

Yes, add the GOG link

 

[CosmicQueso]

140 hours in, just sailing through the Isles, come across a cool new side quest.

Just when I think I've wrapped up, this game keeps delivering and B&W isn't even out yet.

Greatest game ever made? Greatest game ever made.

 

[Killer Queen]

Started a new game so I could play beginning to end DLC included and I'm enjoying this game a lot more this time around though I can't wait to get to Blood and Wine hopefully by the end of the week.

Now I'm curious what quest you've found. What's it called?

 

[kencey]

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Ultimadrago]

My most anticipated game this year. Hnnng

 

[Jedi2016]

Still way too early in the game (double-dipped on PC version, so just started over recently). Plenty of normal game to go through before I get to this one.

 

[Somnia]

Is it not pre-loading on steam?

 

[Exentryk]

^ No preloads on PC.

LMAO!

I completely forgot it was coming until last week. But I can't wait to dive into Witcher 3 for another 30+ hours. I fired it up today to clean up some more lingering sidequests. Feels good to be back.

 

[YankeeDonB]

I'm around the same as you and also feel that money is going to be nothing compared to what we need. Hopefully there's plenty more to make in the expansion.

In retrospect, I should have spent less on runes in HoS.

 

[Exentryk]

I am sitting at 110k, just to be on the safe side coz I know the dev console will break.

 

[CHC]

In retrospect, I should have spent less on runes in HoS.

Honestly runes were a total waste. 30,000 to unlock them all, and even the best ones just give you some upgrades you can totally live without. Not to mention you're putting them on gear you have a good chance of replacing anyway.

 

[Broank]

Feelin good because I finally jumped back in about a week or so ago after a long time. Finished my Death March playthrough (I was at the very end and was debating if I wanted to start all the way over on NG+ again). Decided to just do it and plowed my NG+ character up to level 60 so I think I should be good there.

Spoiler

Also going the Triss way this time.

Was playing with the new patch on Xbone the last couple nights and I think I'm used to the new menus and everything now after a bit of a learning period. Map also feels sooo much smoother scrolling around. Just hope I don't get burned out playing so much in a short time..

Also found out I can still get the Gwent sets even though I already had the season pass so I went ahead and ordered those!

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Got the expansion downloaded and ready to go on PS4. Still waiting for it on GOG Galaxy.

I'm so excited to play more Witcher 3.

 

[J4g3r]

I have my Black Blood and Vampire Oil at the ready!

OG Xbox graphics.

I see they've added some photorealistic textures. Very impressive, but I think I'll stick with the N64 original.

 

[Cyto]

What are the release times? Anyone know?

 

[v0mitg0d]

When does the 1.20 patch hit consoles?

 

[Mothman91]

I started a new HoS "only" save file, can I use that to continue for this expansion?

 

[Pestilence11]

Just started The Witcher 3 the other day and I've only done two completely optional side quests. Both were vastly more interesting than anything I did in Fallout 4 in 15 odd hours.

 

[EatChildren]

If you're one of those people who was utterly absorbed in simple Wild Hunt adventuring, exploring the land, taking on quests, reading notes, clearing monster nests and bandit camps, and relishing in the little details and tiny stories even of just a corpse with treasure and how they got there, you're in for a hell of a treat and an amazing sendoff to the base game.

I can't wait to get home from work and continue playing.

 

[painey]

I downloaded it yesterday on Xbone

 

[M.W.]

Finally started HoS today. Is it long? How to beat says 10 hours, is that accurate?

I will get this as this game is fantastic.

 

[kevin1025]

I played the PS4 version for nine hours back when it first came out and never got back to it. Two days back picked up the PC version and am now five hours in, full speed ahead. I'm picking up the expansion pass on Wednesday. Goodbye, time, I barely knew you.

I didn't consider it that long, took me 5

Same. At work with this thread open on a sneaky chrome tab, checking every now and then. Can't wait to get home.

I'm trying not to think about finishing it, cause of course that means no more Witcher

Not that long if you mainline it.

I started HoS on Friday and I'll be done with it in about an hour. I cleared all of the side quests as well.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Preload ready on PS4. I bought the two DLC separately. I'm a little worried about he patch making it up in time though the explanation unlocks in 12 hours....

 

[B00TE]

Preloaded and ready on PS4, can't wait!

 

[Coreda]

Rawr. Can't wait.

Also title should technically be 'Witcher 3' not 'III' but whatevs.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

I'm excited for this... been working 24/7 all through the weekend so that I can take a couple days off and binge this.

It'll be up since you can't play the DLC without it.

 

[Corsick]

Can I buy the DLC on GOG while owning the base game on Steam? Will they integrate and work with eachother just fine in theory? I also have Hearts of Stone via Steam. Thanks all and I can't wait for the release!

Nope. GOG/Steam have different installs.

 

[Blitzhex]

I started new game+, saved it over my 2 recent manual saves :|. I'm stupid.
I'm at the start of ng+ at level 40 atm. Can I still play Blood and Wine at my level abd with my gear?

 

[Dec]

I know, I've been reading the English translations as they come out. I'm hesitating on the new one, though. Since it takes place before Witcher 3.

They all take place before all of the games.

 

[Artdayne]

I've been pushing to get my NG+ save ready for the new expansion. I'm nearly done with Hearts of Stone and this is the first time in three playthroughs where I got the best ending to the game,

Spoiler

where Ciri lives and decides to go back to Nilfgard

. Not only does it make sense logically but it also feels like the most fleshed out and satisfying ending as well.

 

[Freezasaurus]

They all take place before all of the games.

I understand that, but now that the games are done I feel somewhat less motivated since I know how it all ends.

 

[OverturePT]

Doing the night shift on the 30th (already today here), it will be a long fucking shift but I'm pretty sure I'll barely get any sleep when I get home.

 

[Radec]

Is there a preload in psn?

From the FAQ on the Witcher forums

Q: What is the recommended normal starting level?
A: 34 - 35.

Q: What is the recommended starting level for NG+?
A: At least lvl 64.

So you're going be under leveled big time.

 

[BigTnaples]

So excited. Was going to wait for my 1080, but fuck it, let's do this.

 

[Exentryk]

I'm at the start of ng+ at level 40 atm. Can I still play Blood and Wine at my level abd with my gear?

B&W's recommended level is 64+ in NG+.

 

[BigTnaples]

At time does the patch go live?
