... mods, now, that is something I DID NOT expect. 
The merchant one seems appealing, I'm not so sure I want to mod my first playthrough though, normally I leave it as vanilla on first game. Unless there's a wager limit mod, but I also read you can wager more as you progress in the game.
Heh, I just noticed there's like "be more like TW3 threads" popping up everywhere on this forum, I wonder fking why! 
Wow, got a warning and post removed when I mentioned the TW3 > DAI threads popping up on this forum. They seem rather touchy about it!
I just unhid the post. 
I don't think your comment violated in any way the rules of the forum.
Give us a valid reason for censorship at least.
We'll see how they react.

I hope they play it. 
This is a PC Players forum.. sheesh
Anyway, back to more pleasant things...
LOL @ Keira's scene, (spoiler) I cracked up when the rabbits went at it, that's definitely what I was thinking lol (/spoiler)
Oh hell, I don't believe such ignorance!

Kickstarter is great, but it also funded this trash... I simply can't believe she has so many followers!
The answer? It’s not. Art is not supposed to serve a political agenda. That’s what propaganda is for. Art does and should deal with real world issues, make us think, challenge us. What it shouldn’t do is simply confirm our biases. Fortunately, The Witcher 3 does no such thing.
... I do wish she’d come up with better arguments than this... surely she can do better.
No - as apparently, no she can not.
Purchased Game Guru bundle to try my hand at game crafting. I'll be learning some lua scripting and blender to create more game assets.
P.S It seems this might be a better way to start off then learning Unity or Cryengine.
I've been playing TW3 for 151 hours, so far. I have had zero crashes. Enough said.
I've had a few, but nowhere near like DA:I ...
On another subject:
My wife and I went to HOB Houston last night and saw Robin Trower again.
Holy smokes!
The man is 70, and better than ever.
If you like minimalist electric blues check out his latest ... "Something's About to Change".
I am absolutely amazed by the consistent quality of TW3's quests. In DAI and many other RPGs you can easily tell which is the "side/fetch quests" and the "main quests". In TW3, this is all blurred!
I've had two hard freezes on the lighthouse where you get the schematic for the griffin silver sword, but either than that, game has been very stable. I save often however, as I die out of the blue sometimes, especially when I'm not paying attention. Those drowners... never underestimate them, even if you killed tons of them.

My greatest enemy ... high places.
I've never fallen off a cliff yet, maybe cause I walk around all the time lol, enjoying the sights. Hell I can FEEL the wind in this game somehow, think it's the combination of the graphics + atmospheric sound. They polished it to such a degree.
I'm rich as hell now, ~20K gold at level 15, I always sell to merchants that give me the best price. I win almost every Gwent round too with my "amateur deck" (what Zoltan calls it lol) with Northern Realms. My build is focused on swords/magic, maxed alternate Quen (need it for healing, otherwise I'll be eating too much food/drinking too much swallow) so I can win out against fights of attrition [same strategy I use in Gwent too - win by attrition, spy/medic cards are excellent, and saving my best cards (double/triple cards + commander's horn) when I need to commit to battle. Also, I use weather cards, but with Foltest's free "clear weather" card as a leader ability, sometimes I put on bitter frost, then send in my melee fighters, the opponent gets confident thinking my 1 STR cards can't do sh-t, then I play my clear weather card once he passes hehe]
Still remember I had 3 blue stripes commando cards, 2 dragon hunter cards, played it all in the last round, with commander's horn even, ended up winning with like ~150 STR and he had something like 20 STR lol - no chance!
I love how they removed quicktime for fist fights too, much MUCH better than TW2 yet still just as awesome to watch. Behind every corner/quest is so many surprises and I'm still in Velen/Novigard. I am just shocked at the quality of this game, the interwoving quests and none of it is a grind.
Also... Triss and Yen are so beautiful and interesting how to choose between the two?
Has anyone else done "the Tower From Nowhere"?
The text in the grimoire is hilarious! 
I haven't done it yet, but reading through the anti-DRM success I found out about it lol
"The Defensive Regulatory Magicon (or DRM for short) belongs to the above-mentioned group of the longest-lasting, most effective and hardest to break defensive mechanisms. In order to recognize the individual administering it, it makes use of a portal mounted at the entrance of the area it is to defend. This portal passes streams of magical energy through the body of the person entering and can, in the blink of an eye, determine if this person has the corporeal signature (eyeball structure included) of the entitled administrator. As a result, the only unauthorized individuals that can possibly hope to enter are mimics.
DRM thus makes for an extremely effective and near-unbreakable security measure - but you are in luck, for you hold in your hands the key to bypassing it, namely the present tome, Gottfried’s Omni-opening Grimore, or GOG for short. In the pages to follow you will find innumerable methods for deactivating DRM, or, even better, bypassing it altogether (…)"
And the quest is about someone locked out of his tower or something yes? lol
Heh, gotta love CDPR
After the feast when the new king/queen of Skellige is chosen ... any one else do the quest for the "lonely druid"?
Humor ... another area where CDPR has surpassed "Bioware".
Please no spoilers.
BTW: At a bookseller in Novigrad you can buy two very famous books. One is about a vampire called Edward that impregnates a young maid...the other is the Necronomicon.

And they wonder why people don't like SJW's..
I wonder if she found something to hate about DAI too?
So a new patch for DAI is in beta. I can't say what it is for due to NDA, but 3 guesses. 
XCOM 2 is coming out in November!!!!! 
Modding support + procedural maps and PC exclusive!!!
Jake Solomon, that guy is a hero really, Sid Meier himself also mentioned in an interview that Jake is someone who always looks at games from the perspective of the gamer. A very important quality, and he proves it in all his interviews, the Xcom reboot, not to mention his dev-plays. Still remember when he encouraged his teammate during a multiplayer battle against a fellow dev, to use an overpowered squad. His teammate said "No, that's cheating", and Jake went "That's not cheating, I just haven't fixed it yet!" Haha
He's also a very vocal supporter of the modding scene, especially the Long War mod, posting tweets to get people to donate to the creator lol - no wonder why he and his team decided to go PC only. Can't think of anyone better to take helm of the Xcom franchise.
I've been playing around with the Game Guru engine. It's not too bad. Lot of free assets and it seems to run smoothly enough. I have a game concept.. kinda leaning towards a horror mystery shooter. It will be single player or coop mode and implement somewhat open environments. I tend to not like linear designs. I'm a big fan of the Stalker series so I've always wanted to lean in that direction but with it being able to support coop.
PS After some manual tweaking and setting resolution to 1152x654, Witcher 3 is playable on my laptop. Too awesome!
You're Invisible Man, you're meant to be under the radar from time to time. Take your time, sleep, eat, get well, get better. 
Has anyone noticed TW3's maps actually manage to make the world look smaller than it actually is? It's very deceiving!
Not just that but the amount of quality content in TW3 makes Skyrim/DAI look like unfinished games.
Anybody who has played the game has surely noticed it. But at this point I try not to fall into the usual praises I give the game. Someone might accuse me of advertising lol.
Anyway...I'd take Skyrim out of the comparison at this point. It is from 2011, a much older game and while it does not deliver the quality both in detail and larger parts of the game (mainquest, guildquests etc.) it was a very well done attempt to create a believable world. Say what you want, but the look and feel of it felt complete, how the landscape was designed, the buildings in it, nature, animals and the inhabitants going about their daily business. And I'm still talking without mods here.
Of course, if you compare DAI with TW3 there is no question which is the better game. I wouldn't say DAI is incomplete. I guess it is more or less the game they wanted it to be, but they simply wanted something far simpler than TW3: A stage for the mainquest (which is still excellent imho), some empty maps for grinding xp and gear as massive filler and good looking graphics = DAI. Many elements of DAI feel like they were designed as a formal list of things to have in a game. Like the multiplayer for instance, shoehorned into the game because it's on the must-have list of EA.
Saying that DAI is much more a product than TW3 is would probably be very naive and oversimplified, but I cannot help myself because that how it feels. TW3 feels like a piece of art in comparison, a work of passion, while DAI...a piece of labor. Well done, practical labor, but still...
taking a break from a 7 hour playthrough of Witcher 3 on my laptop. I'm procrastinating from everything else.. I don't see a comparison to DAI.. DAI just doesn't have this amount of attention to detail.
PS I have about 17 hours in and I have yet to encounter a filler quest. It's done very organically.. too addictive.. can't stop playing.
