The Witcher 3

[JudgeDredd]

I should point out that the tutorials in the game are good...and it's almost definite fact that I was told this...but my memory is pretty poor and so whilst I might have been told it, it would be handy to have a popup explain that when trying to create more.

I still haven't picked up Witcher 3 yet, gut having played the prior two I can say that having read the novels was a help in understand a lot of the mechanics and backstory of the games. The novels aren't spoilers for the games, either, since the games happen after the events of the novels - and the last half of the series hasn't been translated into English yet, anyway.

They're good books, too. Reading them you'll get the idea that Dragon Age borrowed fairly liberally from them, too.

15 hours in and I've just completed all the "question mark" areas and side quests that I could find on the first part of the map

Onto Velen

Onto Velen

?!

15 hours and you haven't even ventured into Velen yet?
That area is huge in comparison with White Orchards, and has a lot more "question marks", many of which only become available after finishing some main/side quests.

[JudgeDredd]

I know.

I do kind of flounder around at times...but mostly, that was gaming. Just making sure I completed all the undiscovered places and side quests.

Velen is huge but I've got a problem. I've pissed off the Baron, so I can't go in that city. I can't get across the bridge (I can't afford 100 gold). I can't find any villages with anything to speak of useful and I NEED to get my silver sword fixed  :(

^You're still talking about the game, right? Hard to tell with you.

:)

[JudgeDredd]

lol - yes - still talking about the game.

I now have 20 hours in it.  :o That's the equivalent of 5 hours a day!

Did you break your silver sword in the Baron's wife, or something?

[JudgeDredd]

lol

I did eventually find the Baron's village and get my sword fixed.

Good game. Mechanics and game remind me alot of Warcraft strangely

I have payed this game for 2weeks now and I really liked the vivid graphics, user control and experience. Also it is one of the most talked Game these days on web.

[Gusington]

Are you guys still enjoying this? Is the combat the same as Witcher 2?

[Con]

Its pretty much the only thing I have been playing for the last month.

The story is and quests are incredible.  I just had to help Hatori (of Kill Bill fame) move from making dumplings back to making swords so that I could get my hands on some sweet new steel
