The Witcher 3

I'm tinkering with Attila TW right now but the pull of The Witcher is stronger, I think...

Just played two hours of The Witcher 3 and HOLY F*CK IS IT GOOD! And...I can actually perform the combat. I have everything set to ultra as well and I see what mirth means by uncanny valley with some of the characters. I was chatting with a character named O'Dimm in the first inn and he looks A LOT like me. Then I found an old frying pan for an old woman down by a river and she looked exactly like my grandmother. Just accepted the mission to find and then deal with the griffin that you guys were talking about...I feel very similar to how I felt when I started playing Skyrim five years ago. I'll be playing this for a while. Months, at least.

Heh. You look like O'Diimm? Awesome!

Gusington · September 12, 2016, 09:32:10 PM

O'Dimm could be my brother! Oh and I played my first couple of round of gwent and won...not sure if the game is scripted to let me win this early on or not. Fun sub-game. I think I will pick up that standalone gwent game when it comes out.

So, what did you do with your Grandma's frying pan? And how did it get down by the river? My Grandma used to send me out to look for things. But it wasn't near the river, usually it was 'out in the traffic'. But the joke's on her. Whatever she sent me to find.... was never there.

You will be interested to learn the O'Dimm is a major character in the hearts of Stone expansion. And he is a right bastard....still think he could be your brother?

Tonight I take on the griffin that so many of you despise.

Heh. I still have that on my to do list.

There are so many great quests in Witcher 3 which totally draw you int There is one that sends you to a cave mouth ringed with rocks with scores of skeletons and bodies left over from a great massacre. In the middle of them hops a little white rabbit....with sharp pointy teeth.

That bunny's dynamite!

Gusington · September 15, 2016, 08:54:04 PM

I came, I saw, and I kicked that griffin's ass :)

On the way to Vizima now. Stopped off at another secondary quest and now I'm dealing with noonwraiths and other scary ghostlike things.

This game is great!

Watch out for scary white rabbits with pointy teeth Gus. Were-Rabbits?

Gusington · September 16, 2016, 05:01:43 PM

^I read that somewhere else too..right now I am concentrating on these phantoms or whatever the hell they turn out to be.

Ok, so I know I'm late to the game but this is really starting to grab me. Although I'm still extremely early game.

Combat is difficult in that there is a lot to remember at first (Sword type, signs, parry vs dodging, quick attack vs heavy)

I solved the arsonist quest - let the guy swing. I'm on the well sidequest now. What is the best way to find the herbs you need for formulas? Can you buy them?
