The Witcher 3

[Flawless]

Re: The Witcher 3

Waiting a couple months, then I'm gonna repurchase this for PC. I've been able to run everything I've thrown at it on Ultra, so I'm extremely excited to see how this looks.

One of those games where I've got no problem replaying the entire story through again.

I played through again recently on PC and it looks damn good. Hair works off, Ultra settings except for Shadows and Foliage Visibility Range on High, locked at 30fps with NV Inspector and Rivatuner. Your 390 will probably do the same, but at 60fps or you could push beyond Ultra settings with ini tweaks and lock it at 30fps. The in-game vsync and frame rate limiter gives bad frame pacing, so do it through the GPU driver.

It's a good looking game on console, but textures, shadows, draw distance, foliage density, water, effects, and load times are noticeable improvements on PC.

I used these two mods:

Just to cosign, yeag 1080p 60fPS is no prob for the 390. I play at 1440p with the same settings you listed plus ReShade and get an average of around 45-50 FPS overall.

Re: The Witcher 3

What... A... Game!!! Picked this up last Tuesday and haven't put it down since.

What an immersive world. The crafting/armor/potions is a lot to sift through.

Spoiler

In the Baron's city (can't recall the name) the blacksmith mentions he could be a master craftsmen IF you get him some things. I can't for the life of me find a quest that shows me where I need to go? Any help would be great. I think it was just inside Novigrad??

Any other tips of the trade would be QUITE welcome.

About the quest you asked:

Spoiler

I believe the quest is in Skellige. It's a pretty high level quest as well if I'm not mistaken

Regarding the master craftsman.

Spoiler

Just to nitpick, that's actually an armorer (you'll come across the quest for the master blacksmith later in your travels). If you talked to the dwarf armorer in Crow's Perch about a master armorer, there should be a quest in your Secondary Quest list called "Master Armorers". The quest is completed in Skellige. It is not anything you have to worry about until later in the game, as the master armorer is really only to top off your witcher armor to the Mastercrafted level. The enemy guarding the tools is in the mid/high 20s IIRC. You'll find an armorer in Novigrad that can handle all your armor needs in the meantime.

Did they patch the seashell money glitch?

Yep if your talking about buying seashells and breaking them down and getting the pearl and selling it back for way higher than what you paid.

Re: The Witcher 3

I finally started playing this tonight. And now I'm kicking myself for not starting sooner. Better late than never, I suppose.

Re: The Witcher 3

This play through I definitely have a new approach. I am going to try to exhaust an area before its time to move on. Currently I'm still early on and hunting the griffin but I am going to see as much of White Orchard before its time to move on. This way I won't find myself globe trotting the entire time getting no where.

Welcome to your new addiction

Welcome to your new addiction

Now that I'm really working the map and brewing potions and crafting it's getting pretty addicting. I still think it'll be a week until or so until I exhaust white orchard. I tend to doubt I'll ever be back, so I want to finish it clean.

I love the atmosphere of this game.

Re: The Witcher 3

I received my hard cover collectors guide and I am going to start over. I am only 15 hours in and feel like now that I have read over the different builds I know exactly the way I want to go on this play through and made some mistakes. I too want to explore each area head to toe and level better before moving forward.

So this weekend we start fresh and never look back.

Don't say never. I was working on trying to get one of my last potions brewed. Couldn't find the last ingredient to save my life, literally. So on a whim I went back to herbalist in White Orchard and she had just enough.

Plus I admit I think she is hot! Plus every time I walk in she is like this..........

Re: The Witcher 3

She seems worth it to return. Good point.

Re: The Witcher 3

So what am I doing wrong here?

I'm still in White Orchard, doing the Missing In Action side quest. We find the shield and the dog picks up the scent. And from what I've read, the dog is supposed to run off into the woods and I follow him. But, the dog just sits there for me.
