2018 is here! Which game did you start your year with?

OK, it sounds like you’re playing TW3 vanilla… so I’m gonna recommend you some mods to at least soothe some of that pain! I know it helped me with the same issues. :slight_smile:

Try these mods: Absolute Camera and Immersive Cam.

Try these mods: Better Combat Enhanced and Better Combat Evolved 3.0.

Try Enhanced Targeting

Try Health Regen Options.

Try Better Loot Scaling and Less Junk.

Try Increased Place of Power-Armor-Weapon Buff Duration.

Try Fast Travel from Anywhere.

Try High Quality Faces.

I believe that covers every single one of your mentioned issues with the game?

Listen, I have issues with it too but… I’ve never been crazy enough to play it vanilla. You should mod it. No game is perfect but TW3 community has made so many improvements to it that it might as well have become! So indulge in it :smiley:

A few extra mods I can’t live without myself:

All Quest Objectives On Map
AutoLoot Configurable All-in-One
Friendly HUD
Increased Creature Loot
Better Trophies
Jump in Shallow Water
Improved Sign effects
Galloping In Cities
Main Map Zoom
Nitpicker’s Patch - various visual fixes

Some other things that might help you:

Indestructible Items - No More Weapon Degradation
Debug Console Enabler v1.31

PLEASE let me know if you have any questions about modding or if you need more mod recommendations or lists or anything. I’d like to help you get the best Witcher experience possible, seeing as I had no idea your issues came from playing it on Vanilla in the first place. My issues with it are more to do with the lore and choices and stuff hahaha

Alright sorry for the wall of links and long answer. Hopefully this helps? Really, PM me if you need any help with any of this. :slight_smile:

Same. And sunsets. I crie evrytiem :cry:

After 500 hours with the game, I’ve become accustomed to the parry mechanic. It feels really good when you get the timing right. I was searching for some clip from my console playthrough, but I couldn’t find it. I’ve found another parry tho :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve played my 255h almost completely vanilla. All I’m using right now is the friendly hud mod just so that I can remove the minimap and remove undiscovered locations from the main map.

The rather good and somewhat under-rated Dragons Dogma!

Oh my flip, really? My immersion with mods started when I realized Geralt couldn’t jump in shallow water and since then I swear things have improved for the better!

Hey, no problem! Glad to be of service, @acb234. (:

yea i always play all games vanilla first on initial playthrough
(mods might enhance or make a game better, but it should be able to hold up on it’s own imo to be “worth it”)
i did consider “punishing” roach by turning him into a unicorn or something tho, because that horse is naughty and silly :smile:
(i love how i call him and he brings 2 bears or 5 wolves or nekkers with him running in from the woods, or how he freeze in place by the sight of water droplets) :joy:

Keira Metz
madame sashsa
etc etc
Geralt got enough love to share with all da ladies :smirk:

tho i heard rumours if trying to go for a “throuple”-solution it doesn’t end so happy :confused: (don’t spoil it for me)

Yennefer is the only right choice.

Only a true fan would say that. :grinning: Triss is hotter, and she was very nice to me. Decision made.

I thought about it, after telling them I loved them both, but stuck with Triss. Plus, I had her in this outfit, witch helped (pun):

Like anything else in life, I think that wholeheartedly depends on what you’re into. :wink:

Although I think Triss no doubt has her charms, I always found Yennefer’s personality the most interesting and challenging to figure out. I say that despite the books – I haven’t even read all of them, just the first two – and despite the other games – haven’t bothered to play more than a couple of hours of each of the first two.

Overall, I’m glad The Witcher 3 gives up the option! :butterfly:

although I secretly wish we could pick Dandelion as well.

What about the TV show!? I’ve heard the original is weird…and that Netflix will be making a new one in the coming year.

Also, I never liked Dandelion. He's just too much like me.

They manage to do it in a very “lore friendly” way as well, I really liked how they wrote the end parts of the relationship story arc.

Witcher 3 spoileroos

After having spent so much time and effort to find each other and being so endlessly in love it gives the player an entirely reasonable out. Ending the Yennefer arc with a hunt for a djinn to nullify Geralt’s wish that they fall in love you let the player decide if it was all just magical influence or true love after all, without breaking the lore the books established.

Triss might be hot but she’s seriously manipulative and selfish, If you’ve got a thing for red heads then Shani is clearly the better option

you make me wanna rush to the ending just to see :smile:
tho i am getting gradually more and more curious how Yenn is gonna deal with all my side flings and not just the Triss “rivalry” :thinking:
(i didn’t click spoilers, i’m trying to stay away from those as much i can :wink:)

I read somewhere, at some point that Tris magically roofies Geralt into sleeping with her, which I’m not okay with and is one of the big reasons why I don’t like the two of them as OTP

Can someone confirm this for me?

I mean it’s Geralt, all you have to do is say “Wanna have se-” and he’s already ripped off his clothes…

heh, i’ve found it doesn’t even have to be that complex, Geralt seems even more easy than Joey sometimes :smile:

Geralt is actually a perfect man. Experienced, infertile, disease proof, a badassmotherfucker and that voice mmm Doug Cockle, read me the dictionary
