The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a 2015 action RPG developed and published by CD Projekt Red. We take control Geralt of Rivia, a mercenary for hire known as a Witcher. We battle the game's many dangers with weapons and magic, interact with NPCs, and complete quests to acquire XP and gold, which are used to upgrade Geralt's abilities and purchase more powerful equipment!

This is one of the few games where I would genuinely say that you could do side stuff every video. That is due to the fact that even the side quests in this game are incredibly written, and environmental storytelling even in zones without explicit quests is also phenomenal.
Correct side quests are amazing in this game.
Hint hint, wink wink.
100% true! - They add to the experience, aren't grinds, and have great storytelling too - definitely worth doing them, we'll enjoy seeing KingdomAce discover and complete them!
I would say, my biggest relief when playing was that I DIDN'T accept Emhyr's offer of payment, and took the "doing it for Ciri" option... ...my only gripe with unfairness, is that this was an early decision that can help ruin an entire playthrough / good ending! :(
Do not writ things that can spoil the content to the youtuber (kingdom ace)@@denisevans213
I was going to write this comment
Sidequests in this game genuinely have better story and content than most main campaigns do these days so don't be afraid to commit to them, this is not a Ubisoft game. And don't worry about being underleveled right now because the script flips upside down really quick. If you commit to sidequesting and contracts you end up overleveling the main questline by a ton.
This is good to hear. Often, my favorite games are ones with incredibly memorable sidequests. Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 14, Majora's Mask, all of the Trails games. It's still uncommon, so gems like these games, and The Witcher 3 should treasured!
@@KingdomAce W III wasn't the most awarded game in history for nothing (and the last game that was awarded this prize was actually for its gameplay, not for some bs woke content (ok, there is also Elden Ring - but it was not the most awarded game in history, although it should be so appreciated)). Seriously, you'll see for yourself how brilliantly this is written.
@@dacsus I'm guessing you're referring to TLoU2 with that "bs woke content" remark. The so called "wokeness" wasn't the reason it won those awards. It's genuinely a really good game, with issues that are subjective at best. But then again, why am I arguing with you. People that use the term "woke" unironically usually can't be reasoned with
@@becauseimbatman1391 it's the other way around - you can't talk normally to people who are woke:
The term 'woke' is best defined as an intolerant and moralizing ideology. Like its cousin 'canceled' the phrase bespeaks 'political correctness' gone awry. Though "woke" has its roots in anti-racism, it was mis-used so often that it lost any and all remnants of its original meaning. To be clear, we are very much against racism however the 'woke' term no longer is associated with it.
It was the word's constant mis-use which ultimately caused it to represent all the problematic attempts to redefine society to conform to a very small minority's understanding of how the world should operate. Those that promote woke culture as an expression of virtue are typically oblivious to the rot they impose on society. Some are even aware of that rot and still choose to promote it.
Don't ignore NPC's that have full on conversations or long lines. They are not random. Even if there is no small quest, there is always a story. You can track how they live, what they do. It truly goes deep. When NPCs talk about "Oh, me and my mates are going fishing", they WILL go fishing.
That's pretty awesome! I love that attention to detail!
@@KingdomAce , oh yeah, one of the first i noticed was a dad telling his daughter to go hide in the woods and she actually goes and hides. I thought it was a quest, so i followed her, but it's not. She goes to the nearest "woods" and kinda hangs out there, sometimes she crouches. She might be attacked by monsters or wild animals, but can not be killed.
there are a lot nice sidequests, with good story and sometimes they work a bit with the mainquests
Btw anything you craft in the alchemy tab is permanent and gets refilled when you meditate. So feel free to craft whatever is available.
Oh seriously? I didn't realize EVERYTHING there was like that. That changes a ton for me. Thanks! I hope I'll see you in future episodes with more tips again to help me out! 🙏🏾❤️
But to refill you need alcohol in your inventory iirc but you usually find a lot of it in random chests etc so it shouldn't be a problem.@@KingdomAce
The notice board doesn't give only quests but also areas on the map marked with a "?' which are worth exploring.
Sell swords to swordsmiths, armors to blacksmiths for more.
Also aim to get your school of choice Witcher gear. Depending on your playstyle different school have different bonuses. So far you seem to favor fast hits, so cat school will be best.
Armours*
tip: you shouldn’t eat/drink so much in battle, it doesn’t give any extra healing. Just eat once and it will regenerate your health slowly over time. You should use the swallow potion for healing.
I'll try to stock up on those!
21:15 no dude dont do anything off screen, we can watch anything, even exploring the area without doing any quest in particular
I know some feel that way, but ive legit gotten comments saying the opposite so I'm always at a standstill with this kinda thing. But I'll do my best to make both sides happy!
@@KingdomAce Don't listen to those comments bro. Exploring is the beauty of this game. We will watch it. We promise. Those who don't want to can just skip.
@@KingdomAce bro for real, those people are minority, you should not listen to them. Think about it, it will give more vids to you and more content to us cuz it is a great game full of story and fun stuff to do. It is a Win/Win situation, and those people saying to you stuff like "Just do the main story" or "Dont use Quen" want you to get fucked and speedrun the game for no reason for real.
@@KingdomAceI think a good mix would probably be 2-3 side quests in between each main quest you do, depending on how long the side quests are. You might still have some left over by the end of the main story, but that's not the end of the game. Once you complete the main story you can still explore the rest of the game, and you can then do DLCs as well.
The order to do the DLCs in is the Hearts of Stone DLC first, and then the Blood and Wine DLC second/last. This isn't my personal preference or something, the Blood and Wine DLC is kind of a send off for Geralt, so doing that first might feel a little weird once you finish it. Plus they were released in that order anyway.
Dont forget mixing with episodes of exploration, alcheming, reading a bit, or just doing question marks on the map. Not everything must be a specific quest.@@Dirgelirge
I am addicted to your Witcher videos! Just two suggestions. You can not battle monsters underwater, but you can use your crossbow and usually one-shot everything that way. Another one of which will let the game be more immersive. Every time you see a dialogue, there are usually saturated yellow options and desaturated yellow (lighter yellow) options. The latter, often off topic, you can freely select for more background, more details, (they are very often humorous!) it will still let you select the dark yellow ones once you go through the light yellow dialogue, so no fear of not being able to go back to ask about the "important stuff" ^^, Loving the playthrough!
Thanks for these tips! I definitely figured out the dialogue one, and I'll do my best to fully go through dialogue options before progressing with the yellow text. And people have been telling me the crossbow thing but I feel like I tried it once but it didn't work. I may have done the wrong input or something...
Ah I see! Never played on a pad but on the standard computer mouse and keyboard setup, when you press and hold the button it allows you to aim, maybe it's the same there! :3@mAce
TIPS WITHOUT SPOILING
You already have a very good healing potion, equip it: Swalow.
Read the contracts, only then will they be cataloged in the missions tab, if you just get the papers, nothing changes! As long as they have an exclamation mark (!), the game understands that you didn't read it.
Every time you meditate, your potions are refilled.
When using IGNI (fire), if the enemy starts to burn, do not hit him , or the fire will go out.
While you are immersed in the water, use the crossbow to kill the drowners, it is extremely useful.
Use Witcher Senses whenever you are farming items, or in new locations, it is ALWAYS useful
Use oils on swords, you can create a very good one, for necrophages and in this case, drowners take more damage. The oils have charges of 50 hits, after that you must use them again.
Sometimes it is much better to disassemble items with the blacksmith than to sell them, this gives you a lot of parts/ingredients to make weapons, armor or potions.
Oils are your friend in this game, as well as potions. Necrophage Oil is for the undead type of monsters, which includes the Drowners. The oils help to damage the enemy over time. There's also an added instant apply for the oil in the options settings that is a godsend after having to do it manually when the game first came out. Hope you continue to enjoy the game!
42:05 when you eat a food you can see "buff healing" that healing process does not get multiplied if you eat again, its just the same but just starting from 0 again when you eat aginb, if you want extra healing you must get a second different type of healing (the swallows potion for instance), and if you were in keyboard you would be able to have access to food, swallow potion and the green potion at the same time (even a fourth slot) whereas with controller you only see 2 at once.
Read the books like in Skyrim, just open them and they will sometimes give you side quests, diagrams or beastiary notes and also use crossbow underwater for drowners works wonders also your gonna fight necrophages more than you think like drowners 😂
Noted! I'm already itching to play more!!
@@KingdomAceI’m also playing for the first time, on level 20 right now and I’m glad to see you enjoying it as much as I am, also try to sell items to their specific merchants for better prices for example armor to armorers, weapons to blacksmiths, food and drink to innkepps and so on, all your playthroughs are great keep up the good work 🐐
You should read all your books and notes from time to time, you don't have to pay attention to what they all say, but those with an exclamation mark next to it are either quest related or show you some other important locations on the map.
And all the notes you picked up from the boards that made you wonder, not all of them are quest. Some just add more locations to your map
I noticed this as well! Sometimes I like to stock them up to read a bunch at once. Outside of the marked ones, I'm wondering how much people would care to have that in videos or if I should just read them off-screen...
@@KingdomAce Read it during the videos. We wanna see you learn more about the witcher world.
7:47 Witcher 3 happens 6 months after Witcher 2. Ciri wasn't in the games until the W3 though. The last we hear of her is in the books.
you have some unread letters and books on your inventory, the thing is that if you read it it appears transparrent/less vibrant so the ones that stick out in your inventory are the ones you havent read yet. Make sure to read them cus some of them give usefull info, sometimes lore or even Contracts/Missions thats why you have so few sidequest you are just not aware of them yet
Do everything on screen and I'll watch it. Witcher deserves it.
witcher 3 side quests go from small ones that you can do more or less fast. And the bigger ones that will take time also will have a great story behind them.
So, its mostly very much fine to do them as a creator. They are either fast enough or quality enough that its great to watch.
Imagine like the girl in White Orchard who had turned into a wraith. That was a cool story and experience. That´s going to be a small faster side quests. The big ones are going to have more and better story / decisions behind them.
Notice boards: Not all of the notices are quests and some boards (like the one at the start of this video) yield none at all. They are often worldbuilding pieces, or hints to treasure/monster lairs/interesting locations. When you picked them up, it said 'New Undiscovered Location' and marked it on your map, effectively letting you know of a new point of interest for you to go to. You should still take them all anyway, and I think...(?) that the ones that do give quests have like some red wax seal or some other identifying marker before you pick them up.
The notice board gave you interrogations point (points of interest) on the map, by they are hidden because you are on "default" you need to change to "all" in the map menu.
12:36 maaan u missed that, Ambassador var Attre would tell you what is happening in the world (the war and stuff like that)
He can go just go back to Wyzima the dialog will be still there
@@badvalentinex8779 oh ok, thats good cause i think this dialog is so important especially for people who dont know a thing about the witcher
when you open the worldmap, in the bottom left corner of the screen you should set the view to "all" instead of "default" to see all undiscovered places which contain a lot of loot and enemies guarding it
Okay I'll screenshot this comment to remember it. Thanks for the tip! I hope to see you again in future episodes with more tips!
crossbow can be used underwater and is a one shot one kill underwater
"Noonwraith trophy? I have this, since when?"
Since you killed a Noonwraith...
(It was strapped to Roach's saddle when you looted the Noonwraith at the abandoned village. Later automatically replaced by the Griffin Trophy you took.)
Great stuff! - I love the music in the section of the game you're about to get into!
One tip - even if you don't want to do a quest *yet*, you can always accept it, and then switch from it, to mark it in your journal / map - I too, worried that I'd have to do one as soon as I agreed, but it's pretty relaxed about tackling them, 99% of the time! (then you don't have to lose track of where the questgiver was!)...
Another tip - definitely create potions / decoctions and bombs as soon as you can - they're permanent (!), but it's not clearly mentioned - so if you create one, and have the right ingredients (for decoctions, it's mainly spirits plus whatever ingredients - that is, the drinking kind!), then each time you meditate, any that you've ever first made, will replenish! - I didn't realise this until later in my playthrough, and they make life so much easier - in fact, some battles, they're pretty much essential, to stand a chance... ...one in particular, argh!...
You're doing the right thing though! - Reading up on them - the bestiary is required reading for a lot of the creatures - makes an impossible battle WAY easier, in most cases... (like Yrden, as you found, with the wraiths, and for later creatures, it's a huge difference)...
Glad you're enjoying it so far though!
Side Stuff is really good on The Witcher 3 though
Side stuff in this game are great. Many of theme are even better then main quest.
I'm hearing that alot! I cam tell based on how much I like to do them already!
@@KingdomAce They will only get better in the DLC's!
The side stuff are also the fun stuff so keep recording everything!! ❤ aaand craft oils..Necrofages Oil helps fight drowners, water hags and a bunch of enemies, the're divided under categories..so craft every type of Oil😊
Yay! Letho is alive!
Hey, just want to give you a tip on lakes, streams and most waterways, oceans etc in Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. You can absolutely use combat underwater Dude. BEFORE you dive in, equip your crossbow and bolts, then go in and when the downers etc come for you, you can shoot them with your crossbow. 😊❤
Also different types of traders give you better prices for different goods. Blacksmiths will pay more for swords, herbalists will pay more for alchemy ingredients, regular merchants will give you more for pelts and junk, etc.
Hey, I like your witcher playthrough! I've been playing this game like 6 times or so and if you don't mind, I would like to give you a few soft tips.
1. Don't listen to anybody's builds and skills advices. Even on the hardest diff any build that you will come up by yourself will be viable. If you will spend a bit more time analyzing and reading through skills, you will figure out what works better than the rest. (+ ads up to authenticity)
2. If you have 10 minutes, you can go back to "white orchard" and swim down the river from nilfgard castle to the midpoint of the village searching through the bottom with "witcher senses ", you will find a dozen chests with loot and valuable blueprints for alchemy. (Alchemy meters).
3. When you will get to "crow's perch" early on in the game (main storyline). Do the same, search all possible rooms and buildings ( especially higher up on the hill where the castle is located) as well as rooftops (it might be not obvious how to climb there but you will figure that), there will be a couple of hidden chests as well.
P.S.: Respect for replaying convo that simulates decisions made in witcher 2. Not very authentic but saves you a good questline. Cheers!
Oh, forgot...
Your potions...
"Swallow" and "Thunderbolt" will be your best old friends for the entirety of the run.
When selling to merchants it is best to sell to their respective field. If you want to sell armor go to an armorsmith and if you want to sell weapons go to a weaponsmith. You get more money when doing that but right now you have not found a specialized smith.
you can do side quests 10 videos in a row and we will be happy. many side quests are maybe even more interesting than main ones.
Witcher Gear has advantages over regular swords/armor, especially if you're wearing all the pieces at once (boots, gauntlets, chest, trousers and swords). The buffs change depending on which Witcher School stuff you craft (Griffin, Wolf, Bear, etc). You can also upgrade it 4-5 times, which will add Rune/Glyph slots to the gear, increase its offense/defense abilities and each higher version looks much cooler. :)
Witcher sense is ESSENTIAL when looking for stuff or clues. It shows where plants and enemy drops are as well.
Bro just do the videos full of side quests you will not get bored while doing them and it will be just more content for you and for us, the side quests and optional things to explore on the map are not boring in this game, the lore, monster hunts and seeing abandoned locations is really fun in there, just explore, do side stuff and then move on with the story when you will be done with everything else on one map, believe me that is the best way to expiriance this game, especially cuz it is your first time with Witcher series and you know nothing about it (and sorry but it shows a lot XD) so basically side stuff with lore will help you A LOT in this game. Also just a tip, do use bestiary and read it before going into fight blindly. Next thing do all oils, they are forever to stay and you should have them on the ready, anytime you can do them just make them. Other than that, good vid
I would suggest read about characters for better understanding of things happened in past, this will give you context and help understand relationships between characters more. 🙂👍
Swallow for health regen, quen every time u fight, if ur quen is still active use ard to push the enemy away, igni might help as well. Crossbows under water to tackle downers. please note.
16:40 Not sure if you noticed or if said before. Anything with a GOLD *, is newly pickup up item(s).
Makes it easy to check what item you picked up, especially weapons, armour, or Diagrams
Haven't watched all of your episodes yet, so here's a tip if you haven't figured it out already. The Witcher armor sets are much better than the rest of the armor that you can find in the game, and doing the scavenger hunts to find them is well worth it. They each have special bonuses and abilities that can turn the toughest bosses into cannon fodder if you upgrade the right skills. The RUclips channel Neon Knight has a couple of great, really detailed videos about them if you want some extra direction.
Some pointers:
The posters on the notice boards are not all quests. Some are just notices put up by the villagers of that same village. They give insight about the happenings or some are just funny to read.
When selling stuff its better to sell weapons at a blacksmith and armour at armorer for better rates. Same goes for food and drinks at innkeeps. Also when you run into a beehive use igni to burn the hive down, youll be able to loot honey comb.
Swallow and Thunderbolt should be your main potions. Swallow will regen health much much more efficiently than consuming food. Health regen from food do not stack stats wise, thats why swallow is much better. Thunderbolt will buff your damage significantly.
You can also meditate to replenish your potions so dont worry about running out.
Dont worry too much about being underleveled. Youll become too powerful lmao.
Try using your signs more often. Especially igni: it'll help bridge some distance between your opponents. Also when your opponent is on fire from igni let the burning effect play out before your hit them again. Igni is very useful for groups of enemies.
May not always be the case but enemies covered in fur, lives around water/swamp or humans; igni is very effective.
Just an immersion tip but the dialogues from the random villager NPCs can be funny, insightful or just add to the atmosphere.
Another tip. The game doesn't care if you loot villager home etc. only if there's guards around. So happy looting, feel free to rob everyone's home ☠️
Even if you don’t loot everything, always take monster parts, especially drowners. Always good for making potions 👍🏽
It's pretty funny when a witcher runs into town with a sword out and people start screaming. he's like why are they screaming?
When picking up stuff to read, make sure you at least open them all to get quests and potion formulae from them. So you don't have to read them yourself, but opening them will make Geralt read them. When you find a new thing to read, like a letter or a book, you can open it and then press probably either right arrow or RT or RB to swap to older quest stuff you didn't read before, and that's how you actually get quests. You missed a whole bunch of them.
Also during conversations, white options won't advance the conversation, but will give you more insight. Only yellow options advance the conversation. So select white options before yellow ones.
Take a look at the notice board in 47:15 - one of the notices has a red stamp on it. Only notices with the stamp give you side quests.
Bravo to you sir for playing on death march on your first play through, it can be very tough! Don’t listen too much to people saying certain abilities are overpowered. Use whatever you want to my friend, and enjoy the game your way!
Witcher 3 side quests are among the best in all games. I genuinely suggest doing some every video
That's the plan! I may just have to make the videos longer to compensate. Is that something you think you and others would enjoy? (2.5 hours long and such for example like episode 1)
@@KingdomAce oh yes, so much :) ...legit the writing and quest design is top notch. Longer vids are also a delight
Many (if not majority) of people's fav moments are from side quests.
@@KingdomAceif youre dead set on exploring off screen, i might suggest doing the "?" Marks off screen (they give plenty of loot and xp)
But even among them there are VERY GOOD hidden quests that you can accidentally come across
Im heavily in favor of doing everything on screen. I understand why some be against it in other games. But witcher earns it :)
The big papers on the notice boards are quests, the smaller ones are usually lore and places of interest that appear on your map. Also, you don't heal any more or any faster using multiple food items. Under your health bar when you eat that buff will show you when you have the regen active, depending on the food and drink it will be either 10 or 15hp per second, except for small windows immediately after you take damage. With gourmet you only need to hit a food item once ever 20 real world minutes, or after you meditate.
Don't skip so much of the white texts, they give you extra info on the world and quests. Also, lvl up your Delusion skill in themagic tree to unlock better hypnosis
Hi man, want to say congrats on the content, I for one can't get enough of The Witcher content.
Some tips:
1. try and start using oils, they are amazing and will make your life much easier.
2. clear the filters from your map so you can see everything (right now you can't see monster nests), you don't get that much XP from killing monsters, but you will get good XP from clearing areas from monsters (usually you would also need a grapeshot bomb to destroy nests).
Easter Egg: remember when you met that hunter (in the Griffin quest) and he said that he was gay and that him and his partner were caught and he was "evicted" from the village and his partner killed himself? You already knew that from when you did the "Devil by the Well" quest, when you have read the Woman's Diary in it was a sentence of something like "the lord is not so quick to anger since his son died". His son was the hunters partner, the guy that killed himself.
The "questioning" scene was a clever way for the game to simulate what you could have done in Witcher 2
If you had played Witcher 2, and loaded the final save into Witcher 3 - you would not have been questioned - your choices in Witcher 2 (which is what all the questions are based from) would have been carried over instead
In Witcher 2, you can choose to kill Letho at the end .... which is what you chose (oops!) ... I can see why people were disappointed, because he's a very entertaining character and you apparently killed him off!
I wouldn't have minded - you'll make loads of poor choices in this game - it goes with the territory ...
A tip, even if you don't read it, make Geralt read the looted letters and books, as this way Geralt will gain knowledge, and this will update his bestiary several times and even open new missions!
You also pick up a lot of trash so you should go to a smith and deconstruct some items. You can also take off the runes on you sword there too. Since you can’t use the DLC stuff, you should put them in your chest, which you can see on the map as a green chest it’s just dead weight till you are high enough level.
Hello there! Not sure if u have done so (might have missed it) but u can go back to the previous area to clean it up, lots of free ability points from places of power :D when it comes to looting u can always check your minimap, the crossed out red circle indicates not the corpse of the foe but the loot it dropped, free for the taking. Save travels on The Path
Yeah, so the problem with choosing to simulate Witcher 2 save if you haven't played or don't know the story, the choices are pretty much without context. I prefer how Dragon Age did this with Dragon's Keep where you get a summary of the entire story based on the world state you build. This issue with that was it is only available on the website and only applies to DA3.
Enjoying this playthrough - and it certainly shines through that you do, too.
Must be kinda funny for you if you go back and watch some of these early episodes and realize some less-than-optimal decisions you made. Like the comment about not needing Necrophage Oil. Drowners *are* in the necrophage class. And you crafted Swallow (great!) but did not equip it!
You had the exact same reaction I did to being switched to the dlc’s 😂 That was hilarious
Drowners and underwater creatures are one shot with the crossbow under water.
And if you have low health,just meditate a few min and it's full again. I think potions and grenades re-stock as well during meditation..Been a while since I last played the game.
I suggest changing the 'default' filter on your map to 'see all' if you've not done that already. You migh thent think differently about the amount of side quests available after reading the notice boards. Might even consider going back to White Orchard to pick up some things / exp.
Parrying will help also not just dodging 👍🏽 and be careful with your swords and their state because you will find yourself without one if it brakes (like don’t hit the trees with it 😂 or if u hit the enemy’s parry to often)
And btw you can take a quest no matter the level it requires because you can come back to it when you get to that level
I love watching these videos, there's something really cool watching ppl react to one of your fav game :D
one the notice boards the small note will open up new locations and sign posts to fast travel while the large notes will be quests
You can get a really good sword blueprint for low-mid level character near the place where you fought the Griffin at the first quest. It is a Witcher armor & sword set.
I think the best Skill for you, especially at the beginning of Witcher is "Gourmet".
With that every food heals for 20 minuets, which helps you with your HP conservation.
And you don't burn all your Food in fights.
I love the facecam slowly moving from right to left while shrinking. It gave a very dramatic effect. Straight fire on them editing skillz! :p
he's made for hollywood
@@TexasKPAmen!
Main Story missions are the fastest and way to level up. Some of the time you don’t even have to battle, some are just dialogue or get my package or stuff like that. It seems kinda slow when you take in the scenery or battle every enemy on the way but just doing the objective as fast as you can. Ps left trigger to block/parry lol. Hammer dudes you can’t parry and to block arrows you need the ability.
Hey man, I didn't know you'd see my comment haha. You're the best, and I promise you won't regret changing that decision. I would've watched anyways, but this just opens you up to a cool quest and cooler character.
Thank you for going back! It is worth it in my opinion :)
Dude just so you know you can counter most monsters' weak attacks. Like when the drowner swipes at you with just one arm you can counter and cut him back
Never seen a witcher without a swallow potion this is wild to see. Its your health potion in combat mate you should always have at hand and if you run out of them you can just meditate 1h to replenish them.
If you like the base game I highly suggest checking out the DLCs! I suggest doing both DLCs after finishing the base game though, atleast that's how I did it without being underlevelled.
witcher 3 is just wonderful, looking forward to the next part! have a good one, cheers! 🍻
I have finished Letho and I was playing with W1, 2 ,3 saves. I did it because of him I had only problems.
Feel free to do the sidequests, even those have great writing. Also, unless you like save scumming every story beat you don't like, I recommend picking your chat options based on what you can infer, and not what your chat/comments tells you. Some players might want you to get a certain ending to a chars storyline, you should just experience it without looking into the future. Every aspect of the game is pretty well written, even if you get the less than desirable outcome, the story will always be very good.
1:07:50 that broken rake wight like 1kilo, its like 100x times more heavy that regular loot, that's why.
These videos help me with the tougher days man I appreciate you, God bless
Ahhh! I was dying when you left the castle gardens without playing gwent with that guy in the garden. You won’t be able to complete the gwent card quest unless the devs updated it. He gives you a card if you win.
also accept the contracts, you can do it when ever you are in that level. they dont disappear
The boy is back. It's a beautiful time watching you get into this game. My luck goes to you in ever getting out. ;D Very addicting, and "ruined" me for other games. Very high standards now.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's save that foolishness for later." Lmao
The Hunt was trying to find Herik the spy and did.
Gourmet is really good for early game before you get really powerful, on Blood and Bones and Death March, because at lower difficulties, meditating will restore your HP, but at this difficulty it won't. Eventually there will be a way to re-spec and you shouldn't need it. But it's a good way to generate health for the early game. You can also abuse it and equip it out of combat and unequip it when you heal up to make sure you can use your other abilities in combat, although some people might find that to be cheating. I'm in the camp that the game is 9 years old and has been rebalanced so many times, if it's possible and helps you, just use it.
Hello. In fact, all of gaps with understanding the plot comes with that this game series is based on very popular fantasy books in Poland, written by Andrzej Sapkowski (The Witcher). Authors of the game have tried to explain everything using ingame books and notes, however relationships between characters were already built in another medium. For sure, playing previous games from series may help a little but no so much. Have a fun with The Witcher! :)
There are real-life HEMA (Historical European martial arts) swordmasters who in youtube-channel Gamology reacted to and recreated Geralt's moves
People start screaming if there are enemies nearby (proximity to the combat area) or if you take out a weapon (the guards also don't like it)
When you enter houses use Witcher sense to find lootable items, they will glow yellow
34:20 You can... crossbow :)
You should use more counter-attacks when fighting humans, when fighting monsters dodging is the best way to go even though you can counter-attack some monsters quite easily like drowners or foglets👍
when u take papers from the quest board most of them are just trash, there are like 1 or 2 quests there most of the times. Also if u feel udnerleveled u really should explore and visit question mark points on the map, discovering them gives u some xp and u can find somegear there to put on or sell
All I can say is that you're in the newcomers area of the game. It hasn't really started yet. If you stick around, you're in for probably the greatest game you ever played. That said, you can't ignore the writing or dialogue spoken. That is what sets it apart from all the rest. If you truly listen to every conversation, you'll never be able to play another RPG and not compare the writing/dialogue to this. I'll tell you, I haven't found any other to this day that can compare.
I know it's gonna take a time, but if you will read, at least some shortcuts about what happens in a books, you will understand more in the game - who is who etc.
I read all books at least 10 times, and for me all Witcher games are "non official" books continuation - and thats amazing imo.
W3 I've played something around 15 times, and for sure Im gonna play few more times.
ps. queen and igni (imo) are most powerfull sings to use, but probably some ppl already wrote about it.
ps2 if you will learn "monsters movement" - fights will be much easier for you. Just look how they are attacking, step left or right and atk. Usually after your 2 or 3 of your attacks you need to step back, left or right.
ps3 jack mentioned about it too, but use your witcher senses more often - you're gonna find everything much faster
You dont need to eat that often, eating one food gives you hp regeneration for 20 minutes, also potions are really useful
My stance on Gourmet is I do think it’s completely broken with how much healing it gives you, but I’ll be honest- I did use it when I was first playing. I ended up dropping it later though because I felt like I had infinite healing. So far you haven’t been using the Swallow potion, which in my opinion is where the true balance of healing comes in, with healing potions. I suppose if you’re not using swallow to heal, Gourmet makes a lot more sense, and you can use potions for other things- that legitimately seems like a very fun play style. But I think when you have healing from both Gourmet and potions, it gets really strong. That’s just my two cents though, and you seem like you enjoy a challenge, so I’m sure that whatever happens in the future you’ll adjust it to be engaging. After all, that’s what I did, taking gourmet at first and then dropping it myself because I enjoyed the game more without it.
If u want to see who's the guy you saved by reloading a save at the start of this video, you should react to Witcher 2 cinematic trailer. And it's a really, really good trailer.
the totally wacky thing about witcher 3 is how they have a large and filled up area as just the tutorial stage... which is why you kinda only got a couple or so levels by the time you beat the Griffin. the actual game starts once you leave the emperor's palace
Don’t buy food, except water ig. Swallow is free and replenishes every time you rest
Witcher fans are passionate. But definitely the best. Have fun and don't get offended by minor inaccuracies. Regards (many fans started their adventure with Witcher in the 1990s, so please excuse excitement)
Feel free to do all the side stuff in the videos too. The side quests are often straight up better than the main quests.
21:00 Yes - you've unlocked the DLC - if you choose to do it before completing the main game, the game knows and will adapt the story beautifully
It's all good - even though Witcher 3 purists will be barking at you to do the series in the following order:
Main game > Hearts of Stone > Blood and Wine
Hey man you should definitely take your time with this game and do side stuff...there is a lot of really good sidequests and sometimes what seems like a small quest turns into something really awesome and you never know. I ve played a lot of rpgs and this game has one of the most interesting sidequests so even a full episode of them would not be boring.
