The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt revealed

You can find wraiths in the field northeast of Oxenfurt. Noon for noonwraiths, midnight for the other ones.

 

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I just discovered I got 40 of whatever item that can be dismantled to monster powder so I'm fine for that.

Almost 100 hours in now and still in Velen... another 30 hours or so and this will be the game with the most hours on my steam library. Though in a much shorter timeframe than my current number 1 (CS: Source). Doesn't include Fallout 3, I didn't play that through steam. Had something like 120 hours on that as well.

 

I warn you that trying to be a "completionist" in Skelige is boring as hell. Most of the treasure is underwater and remotely in the ocean so you have to sail there by boat, kill all the sirens around with a crossbow, dive, get the treasure, go up to the boat, sail again, kill with the crossbow, etc. for dozens of times. It's probably the least fun part of the whole game.

 

But can be done and make you rich in the process

 

New Patch 1.12 is out!

Change-log with over 70 fixes!

 

Wish they would finally fix POI's you discovered (swordsmiths etc) not showing up on the map once you discovered them...

 

Last patch added full Dualshock 4 support, always nice to see that on PC as it's my go to gamepad

 

Official trailer for Blood & Wine:



Really looking forward to this last expansion!

 

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Patch 1.20/1.21

 

After installing the latest The Witcher 3 patch, it notifies me that I now have to install version 1.21 of my DLC, "Free DLC Program (16 DLC)", and "Hearts of Stone". I mention this in case people are in a hurry and are prone to just hit the Exit button when told the patching is successful.
Nearly 5 gigs more to download for me. I have the GOG version.

 

Agreed! This last expansion seems to have an "edge about it" that will (in my case) up the anxiety levels when I play.

 

Saw this on Eurogamer, there is a mov called Super Turbo Lighting [Nexus] that improves B&W further.



I'm replaying the Witcher 3 in the coming weeks (previously on PS4, this time on PC) and I'm really looking forward to this.

 

I don't think the mod is compatible with Blood and Wine yet though is it?

 

You're absolutely right. I don't why I thought that - I must just have been thinking about Blood and Wine!

 

I finished Blood & Wine yesterday. Enjoyed every minute or should I say hours of it and the game in general. My playtime is at 173h now. I got the good ending, a bit lucky to get it it seems. The only thing I feel is less than optimal with this game is the seemingly small and insignificant things and decisions sealing the fate of some characters and story.

I didn't seek out the unseen elder, so had to figure on my own that

Spoiler

the vampire from the great "a night to remember" cinematic trailer was Orianna

Somewhat tough to start another game after this one...

 

You can actually face off with Orianna and still continue down the other path.

 

By "face off" you mean?

 

Exchange mean looks
