Watching this video (fight starts at about 1:15) makes me wonder how the hell he's doing the little hops to the side or back- I can only seem to do a dive when dodging.

Button you use to climb up shit/jump is dodge. Button you hold to sprint is the dive roll.

One thing that The Witcher 3 does really well, and most other fantasy-setting games completely fail at, is showing the abject misery of living in the Dark Ages. Add in tons of horrible monsters, and life is pretty much straight up hell-garbage.

This is a spectacular track, it perfectly captured how messed up that entire questline was and just gave it this incredibly creepy vibe. One of the most memorable quests I've experienced in an RPG.

Foglit

This game.

Hit level 11 last night. Went back and did the first Keira quest. Just looking for easy XP at this point. The main quest to sail for Skellige still has a red skull above it. That must mean I'm not ready.

So much left to do in Velen. I didn't want to leave anyway.

Some clarification on the XP bug:
http://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/comments/37r3t4/seems_like_a_lot_of_people_dont_understand_the_xp/

Gonna have to do some testing I guess. I'm overleveled for the main quest and did some when they were grey, but now I have to test wether I still get XP for green main quests. If push comes to shove I'll just cheat it in, fuck it. I won't know how much exactly I've missed, but so be it, don't want to take a break from this game.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #696 on:** May 29, 2015, 08:32:31 PM »

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #705 on:** May 30, 2015, 11:06:52 AM »

Also you'll miss a lot of cool shit if you ignore the ? marks. There's not a lot of what I would consider filler content in this, almost every ? has an interesting story to complete or monster to fight. There are suggested levels for all the quests, and a lot of them you can handle even if you're 2-3 levels under the suggestion.

I found a Witcher Silver sword diagram.
But you can't make it without a master smith.
The master smith needs a quest completed to access him.

It's a fucking level 24 quest. The diagram is for a level like 9 sword.

You sure it needs a master and not a journeyman? There's one in Oxenfurt and in Novigrad. The one in Oxenfurt is easier to find, just go along the east wall.

Which reminds me, one thing I hate about the map is that if a vendor isn't at their shop because they're asleep or whatever, their icon disappears with them.

Thankfully there is this:

I'm juuust about in range of a bunch of contracts in the 20s to mid 20s and you still get XP from those (several hundred each), so I might be able to hit 20. Mid 18 now.
The bug only seems to affect certain quest lines in the main quest, all in Novigrad (Broken Flowers specifically). I'm close to done with Velen and Novigrad anyway, so I'll just keep going. Hopefully the main quests in Skellige give XP again. I've been wearing Witcher gear and XP trophies 95% of the time, which might even out my losses.

I'm still impressed by how fleshed out the side content is. You can tell where they hide the lack of bespoke animations for certain things, but otherwise their quality is up to par with the main quests. It's seriously impressive. This is the equivalent to W2s two versions of Act 2.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #716 on:** May 31, 2015, 12:10:12 AM »

Haven't hit the XP glitch, but little bugs are starting to wear on me, like the talk trigger not appearing over quest givers and having to save/reload to get it to reappear. I mean yeah it's great that you have this layered story and moral ambiguity and elven drunks cussing you out and all that, but some of these bugs are just amateur hour shit.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #717 on:** May 31, 2015, 01:43:14 AM »

I was able to go back and do some old contracts I had and get up to level 16, which I was looking forward to because I had a bunch of good crafting recipes for new items that required it. I think I'll also probably just cruise around for places of power and the last few gwent players tomorrow since I can't gain xp for now.
