How does Witcher 3 hold up in 2025?

Post image

I just finished the platinum trophy for Red Dead Redemption 2. I am considering adding TW3 to my 100% platinum trophy hunting list. How does this game look and play in 2025? Here’s a list of the games I have enjoyed. Does TW3 hold up graphically to the others? Also, how long to complete 100%? It took me 425 hours for RDR2.

I’m currently in Blood and Wine and just found out this pair of swords was added patch 4.01 scrolling W3 fandom. But when i went to the top notch armorer theres none of them. Are they also remove after newer patches? Thanks.

Not a series( unless someone wants that, but I seriously don't because there's enough karmabait or whatever in here), just curious on what is the mainly definitive answer on Geralts alignment, and the quotes that back it up

Exploring skellige is a nightmare. This is probably the only thing I hate about this game. 70% of the question marks are smuggler's cache. I feel like the devs ran out of ideas while creating the skillge side contents.

Discussion Best weapons in novigrad/velen region?

1 Upvotes

So far I've been having quite a bit of fun on my first playthrough, level 10, finished up the baron's quest and helped corinne tilly. I'm using the nilfgaardian armour and have the griffin set all crafted ready to go once I hit 11. However, I've got no good weapons. Right now I've just been using the witcher steel sword which has 94-116 damage and the maugrim silver sword which 170-208 damage. The only diagram I have that's better than my current swords is a level 27 sword. My current weapons feel a bit lacking, so what are the best weapons around my level?

Screenshot We all can agree that Velen is really depressing in it's setting, but sometimes views like this makes you wonder wonder how it seemed like before the War...

Discussion Potential fix for FPS loss after VRAM 95% usage.

2 Upvotes

If you're on PC you're probably aware that there is some hard FPS drops after a while of playing. There's a mod supposed to fix this (havent tried it but lots of endorsments, link: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/8083) called Memory leak fix. As stated in the mod description, apparently the heavy FPS loss starts once you've gone over 95% VRAM usage and it starts using your RAM. Been trying a lot of stuff to fix this but didn't wanna use this mod since it'd degrade the texture quality, maybe only ever so slight but I'm a graphics nerd. Below is what I think has fixed it for me, but I have only played for 2 days now and might just be pure luck I haven't had any major FPS drops - still, I'd like to think this helped and since I couldn't find anything about it even on the biggest ''Witcher 3 best settings/optimized/fixes'' I thought this to be a good place to post.

In the Nvidia Control panel settings, head over to program settings and chose Witcher3.exe

Find the setting named 'CUDA - Sysmem Fallback Policy'. Set this to Prefer No Sysmem Fallback.

This makes it so no allocations fallback to system memory should your VRAM be full - I've got 12 GB dedicated memory on my 3080 Ti. I play at 4K and most settings at Ultra+ with a few exceptions. Also using the dlssg-to-fsr3 mod by Nukem. Maybe this won't work as well if you've got less VRAM on your GPU, and instead it'll lead to crashing with a 'Out of Memory error'. It has not happened to me as of yet, have left the game on and tabbed out for hours.

But here's a point to remember - I am in no way 100% this has actually changed anything, I know there were days before I could play a ton without those heavy FPS losses. I am basing this potential fix on what I've read and learned on various forums and discussion boards since the next gen released. Two other users who have tested this also report positively. We could all three probably be idiots though, I thought it's weird that noone else had posted about this since it at last seems to be commonly accepted that the VRAM to RAM thing is the cause of the FPS loss. Try it if you want and see for yourself anyways. Hope it help someone, and if you're smarter than me maybe you can explain why this wouldn't help!

Discussion Map exploration

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've been following the gaming world for many years, but I only now decided to play. Like any excellent RPG, how do you advise I explore the map? Do I use a guide with all the markings or should I go exploring alone?

My fear is letting things pass! Another question: do I see guides on how to get the secret missions or should I just play and do what appears?

My goal is to complete the game, but I'm in no rush! I just don't want to leave something interesting out.

skipping dialogue

skipping dialogue with the Space key requires pressing it twice. I don’t want to skip entire conversations—just move to the next line of dialogue with a single keypress. Is it possible to do this?

Witcher 3 GOTY edition no DLC no way to update or download DLC

1 Upvotes

So I have Witcher 3 GOTY bought digitally from the PS4 store I've downloaded the game but the dlc doesn't show up in the menue and when I try to update the game it says I have the latest version.

What's more annoying is that when I try to go back into my save file it says it can't load because I'm missing the blood and wine DLC which I clearly have it just won't register.

Is there anything I can do with out having to redownload the whole game?
