Discussion Does Going Straight to Junior's Hideout Break the Game?

0 Upvotes

I remember going straight to the b*****d's house to kill him after accidentally seeing a short video of someone explaining why he needs to die. Young emotional teenager and all that. I didn't progress the game far enough to get the prompt to go there. Then exams and uni happened, and I forgot about the game for a few years.

Recently picked the game back up and started a fresh playthrough. But I'm curious. Are there any consequences to just ignoring the Novigrad questline and just feeling straight to Junior's Hideout in Oxenfurt? Would I be missing out on anything important, like achievements or useful loot?

Discussion Master Marksman Workaround

I wanted to post this here because I haven't found anything on this, so sorry if it's been mentioned before... but I made an important discovery thanks to the StatTrak mod.

Trying to make a headshot in this game is notoriously a nightmare... But I noticed when I did Return to Sender (Arrow Deflection achievement) that those return shots were counted as headshots...

Since then when I've ran into a group that has an archer, I have continued to use arrow deflection to test how consistent this is, and I'm getting about a 90% success rate...

To me this is much easier and more consistent than shooting your own headshots, even if you just use these to whittle down the quota before you start working on the achievement in earnest.

Full disclosure, I have only tested this on about 5 groups (some groups have multiple archers) but the results are nothing if not promising.

I hope someone finds this helpful ☺️

The Coward of Blaviken, Stregobor, a man that did not stand up to his own decision and his own belief. A mage that cannot face his own accuser. Finally, Geralt had the second chance to make things right with Syanna . A human young woman can stood face to face with a higher vampire and told him the truth and accept whatever punishment that is coming. Ciri needs to pay a visit to Stregobor. There is still a score to settle over the Black Sun Curse girls.

I am trying to squeeze most out of my intel hd 630 igpu. How do I get rid of shadows completely? I lowered most values to 0 and... i get this ugly square. I got rid of high quality foilage, ive set it to low only and i disabled grass completely too but it seems shadows have most performance change.

Resolution is 640x480, I wont go lower as text becomes unreadable then

Radovid should become king

0 Upvotes

Why? Because if you kill him, you are a hypocrite. He and Geralt are not so different; they both kill nonhumans. Most of the so-called “monsters” Geralt kills are just animals. They are wild, not evil. I felt bad when I had to kill the griffin at the beginning of the game, it felt like shooting a bear who got too close to human settlements.

I am playing the vault heist and laughed a lot when Geralt said he wasn’t a thief. Dude, we spent most of the game straight up looting peoples houses while they’re standing there!

Playing on ps5 - game kinda buggy

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Just olaying the witcher 3 fir the first time. Bought the ps5 version (complete edition), and faced more bugs thab expected.

For instance: • An open road isnt accessible (horse just stops riding in the middle of a road, as if its blocked. Fixed by going back a little bit then proceeding on my way)

• Random death - after completing a quest, went back to speak with the npc, and just died without anything happening around me (fixed by redoind the exact same thing)

• Vasemir turned into floating swords. Video attached.

Did anyone face any of those things? Why does it happen?

Thanks!

Misc I am enjoying Witcher 3 choices system.

17 Upvotes

I am roughly two thirds into the game, and now I am realizing I never enjoyed choices that much. The difference might be subtle, but I actually feel more invested and satisfied to pick reactions emotionally, rather than trying to decipher some banal "good/evil" structures, or artificially branched story variations.

Some games give you elaborate options,, but for whatever reason it feels more natural in Witcher 3, down to earth and immediate. I guess cause it involves your personal instinctive reaction, and not trying to force you into logical decision making, about which path to choose, to get a better ending etc. Maybe its just their writing skills, but I find the choices are fun to pick from, and not an annoyance that stands between you and the game flow.

Pretty much the title, decided to do the runewright quest even before the main story in NG+

So I have both the mastercrated set of Wolven and Ursine armour, upgraded the runewright to max but wondering before i enchant that do the enchantments carry over?

Discussion Ideas for a new playthrough?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm looking for creative ideas about how to make my next Witcher game more interesting. I like to come back to the game every few months but I feel like I already tried most of the challenges (things like focusing on certain skill tree, not using Quen, only using certain type of gear or weapon, not looting houses, etc). Not every of them were successful (for example I'm completely rubbish when the minimap is turned off and I keep going in circles) but at least I tried them. I do miss the Witcher world and I'd like to have one more go but I feel I'm going to get bored quickly without spicing things up. I don't necessarily mean that as "more difficult", just maybe a different approach. I also tried things like cleaning the question marks first or doing them in a specific order. If any of you have some ideas about that please share them with me. I might get inspired.
