I hope Ciri stacked Frost cards.

 

Otherwise his Monster deck is going to obliterate the field.

Scorch is your best friend against Monster decks.

 

My favorite and strongest deck is Northen Realms. Got 4 Catapults, 4 Dragon Hunters and 4 Blue Stripe Commando's

 

Add some Dunbar Banner Medic's who can revive, plus ofcourse hero cards and you got a deck thats unbeatable.

Trap them Yrden and use whatever the potion for them. I forgot the name of it. There is a potion for them which help out a lot.

 

 

 

Thanks, I ended up just casting yrden then roll dodging a lot.

Be sure to continually check out the Bestiary for info about monster weaknesses. It's pretty helpful in that aspect. You either need to beat the monster or read a book about to unlock an entry though, I think. 

 

The Wraith Decoction also helps to reduce the damage done by wraiths.

For anyone struggling with the XP bug and was waiting in agony for the patch, there is another way:

 

http://www.nexusmods...her3/mods/119/?

 

It's slightly flawed in that now you'll get XP from greyed out quests as well, but that's very minor IMO. At least now I can finally resume playing and just uninstall the mod once they finally release that patch somewhere down the line.

Not sure, it wasn't exciting anyway. A crossbow and the Nilfgaardian Armor or something. I want the Triss alternate look!

How are you guys building your Geralt?  I'm curious (and apologies because I'm sure this has been discussed before).  I'm currently level 31.  I've gone heavy on the signs having 3 of my four ability trees dedicated to signs and one to combat - I like the signs because they are magey to me and if you've seen my other posts here you know I'm a Dragon Age girl who loves to mage it up.  I'm not really into alchemy at all.   In the beginning I had sun and stars and the extra vitality one, but no longer use them.  My main offensive weapon when hitting a random group (as opposed to a hunted contract where I can prepare and use an oil and bombs and stuff) is to hit them with the alternate Aard and then use fast attacks.  Bandits and drowners and nekkers and other low level enemies typically get knocked to the ground and I can one shot them with the fast attack.  I also have Ignii and it's alternative use maxed out.  For both now I'm placing points on sign strength.  Combine that with the mastercrafted Cat armor and swords and my Geralt feels like a beast.  The game seems too easy now.  And I had this issue on the second game too.  The beginning was crazy hard.  To be fair, I am playing it on normal difficulty.  But I play all first runs through on any game on normal as a baseline to judge how I should play it. 

 

Last night I got the trophy for doing all of the Witcher contracts.  I'll miss those.  Still lots of sunken treasure in Skellege though, and that makes my inner completionist happy. 

 

Also, I hate Yennefer.  Team Triss for life. I imagine Yennefer would be best frenemies with Vivienne.

Yennefer > Kiera Metz > Triss 

 

I spent a lot of points in Geralt's fast and powerful sword attacks. Not the most OP abilities, but then I've always been a bigger fan of hitting things with a sword in games than casting. Other than that I also threw a lot of points in Igni because the stream of fire upgrade looks cool, it owns a lot of monsters and makes shielded humans drop their shields, and Axii because I like using the Jedi mind trick in conversations and it owns against humans.

 

The bonuses for alchemy are probably the most OP if you go that route, but I only bother with alchemy for the oils and the occasional potion or bomb. I don't use it for every fight.

I find with Monster decks that it's easy to force them to make mistakes that will hurt them in the next two rounds. I had someone waste pretty much all their cards in one round (Rah was laughing his ass off when I showed him the picture)

Hey folks,

 

Any idea how this will run on a GTX 770?

 

Poking around various threads suggests that this is going to cause issues, but I wasn't planning on upgrading cards till next year sometime at the earliest. The rest of my rig is solid as a rock.

 

Thanks!

I never used much signs in TW games. Aard mostly in TW1 for stuns and finishers and Quen in TW2, because it was very OP. In TW3 I upgraded first quen's skill and that's it. I also upgraded Axii, but only for conversations. As for gameplay, I focused on swords skill tree. I'm not a big fan of magic, in any games. I prefer melee fight. I also didn't upgrade anything in alchemy tree. I was perfectly fine on hard difficulty level and game was waaay too easy when I was doing quests in Novigrad.
As for swords fight I use only quick attacks, not heavy. Heavy are useless in TW3, or maybe quick attacks are too strong. They should balance it a bit. Too bad that light armors look terrible. I was forced to use master ursine armor by the end of the game...

Anyway, Team Triss, sis! *fist bump*
The irony is, I prefer characters like Morrigan/Miranda, but Yennefer is just annoying. *Tries not to start another discussion about Triss-Yen. Will ignore it anyway.*

I have a 770, 8 gibs of ram and a crappy CPU and I can run this game fine at 780p with everything on medium or higher. You should be fine, maybe?

I always try that but it doesn't always work sadly.

 

They are especially clever with using a higher card than their multiple cards, which blocks you from using Scorch on them.

I know, I know, the purpose of this thread is not to compare Bioware products to CDPR in a negative light, but I gotta say, the longer I get into the game the less I think that it so completely outshines DA:I.

 

I still think there's a lot more heart and passion put into this one, better characters and also kind of a better plot... but you know what I'm missing, that DA:I actually did pull of 2 or 3 times? I never got any chills while playing this. The best moment is that cutscene when Priscilla plays the song in Novigrad so far (okay, perhaps I did get the chills right then and there) but DA:I managed to make me go "holy ****, is this good!" in the moments when it counted. I don't feel that the WItcher 3 is disappointing but now that I reminisce about it, DA:I just felt epic and incredible in ways that I don't think this game does... but it also feels like this game doesn't even try to do that.

 

I haven't experienced anything where my socks blew off like the Haven Siege, but I guess it's because while the music is amazing here, it's just not implemented as well, with the OST often sticking to 5 different shuffled tunes even during some important or impactful moments.

 

I just got out of Kaer Morhen and

How are you guys building your Geralt?  I'm curious (and apologies because I'm sure this has been discussed before).  I'm currently level 31.

I'm playing on Blood & Broken Bones, and went almost full into alchemy, with a minor Yrden and Axii upgrade here and there
 
The alchemy in Witcher 3 starts out so weak that it's worse than either of the earlier games, but it does slowly ascend into godhood.
 
The oils get a massive bump going from basic to Enhanced. +10% for 20 strikes turns to +25% for 40 strikes. So it turns between 2.5 - 10 times more powerful. I've not even made a single Superior oil yet.
 
Decoctions, aka the monster-based super potions, are the first taste of real power alchemist builds gets, because without abilities that increase you max Toxicity, you can't have, say, 30+ minute buff that restores big chunk of your health every time you use stamina, and drink potions with the effect on.
 
Mid-game, I got some skills that make me far more effective with right oils, my potions instantly heal 25% of max health with every drink, and I got so many bombs (7+ per type) that during many of the bigger fights I just napalm/poison/explode my opposition to death from range!
 
Then, around Skellige, the game introduces Superior level bombs and potions, and those things are insane.
 
Thunderbolt, the attack boost potion? Added 100% crit chance during storms.
Tawny Owl, the stamina regen potion? Regen does not expire during the night.
Golden Oriole, the antidote potion? Poison now heals me.
 
The Superior tier stuff is tough to craft, the ingredients are both pricey and rare, but my Geralt is rolling in crowns. Soon I'll have my Superior Swallow, that doesn't stop regenning after an attack unlike the lesser versions. He shall become the ultimate drug tank

Where did all the inkeeps disappear to? The map in this game is really confusing sometimes. I'm trying to respec but none of the inkeeps seem to have any owners now.

Yes, i'm running it on a 750Ti with few issues, obviously it's not running at ultra but the framerate is smooth. Also the game barely does anything with your cpu, my cpu barely gets above idle temps with TW3.

Speaking of crowns, there is an easy to way gain a boatload of money in a short amount of time by gaming the market in Novigrod. You can buy seashells from one of the merchants there cheap. You then dismantle those for the pearls, and sell the pearls to to the loan shark for much more than you paid for the shells. You then buy all off the florens and such that the loan shark has, and run those over to Vivaldi and exchange them for crowns. It nets a ridiculous amount of profit.

 

Also the merchants restock every time you talk to them, so you can rinse & repeat a couple times to speed up the process. I did it for about an hour maybe with Geralt and have like 40,000 crowns. I don't even bother with looting and selling stuff I don't need.
