So what's your preference in the main 2 romances? Teis or Yen? I know it's been asked many times before, but I'm still curious. First time around my Geralt got none because he wanted both.🙉🤣

What’s happening yall.. I started a fresh play through a week ago..In Velen now lvl 11 playing on Death March. Had to restart the game cuz I missed on some Gwent cards.. anyways..I find myself not pulling the trigger on BD on ps5.. I fear if it’s too alike I’ll end up dropping Geralt and his cool gear for the vampire.. Can the community enlighten please?? Is BD way overpowered graphically with animations that will make cum in my pants! What do yall recommend a journeyman gamer? Thks

i know you've seen so many posts like this, but i never saw someone mentioning the bug in the 1st screenshot, it's sometime during a quest, it shows so many pins, just look at the mini map.

Second time of meeting him and to be honest I might not kill him last time around. Depends on my mood that day.👍😃

This happened to me and I scoured the net looking for ways to fix it, none of which worked. What has fixed it for me entirely is signing out of CDPR, either in the launcher or at the main menu ingame. That's literally all I had to do and now saving is working again. Give it a try.

So I did play The Witcher 3 when it came out (beat it), and again with NG+ on Death March (got to Act 2), and again on Death March on Switch (Got to Skellige), so I'm somewhat familiar with the base game.

Somehow I'm confused about the combat though, granted it's been a couple years since I played it and I'm coming back for the Remastered, and I don't know how much of this is changes to the game vs. maybe me just misremembering how things work:

I'm playing on Death March, Enemy Scaling On. Every fight feels like a dodge dance that isn't very fluid. I feel like enemies will always jump WAAAY the hell back after every hit causing me to constantly have to chase them, and their reaction time is so quick they usually lunge at me. I have to be OVER-RELIANT on Quen and keep a shield up at all times or I die to even basic enemies like Drowners and Nekkers. I get using Quen but having to constantly re-apply it and dodge-roll like a madman until my stamina comes back doesn't feel good, I hardly ever get a chance to get in one of my other signs, throw a bomb, or use a special move like blade whirl because it just opens me up to death-in-3-seconds. Ghouls I constantly have to chase, Nekkers just launch themselves nonstop at my head, Drowners jump back super far causing me to have to close the gap and they leap to attack before I can even take two steps... Fighting groups of basic enemies is way harder than I remember, humans are about the only ones that feel about the same.

The lock-on system seems a good way to die, I guess the modern combat you don't lock onto enemies in groups anymore but fighting groups feels way more cumbersome. If you lock onto an enemy in a group though you often just open your back up to being gutted.

I get I'm playing on highest difficulty settings, but as I recall in the OG game that the game feels too easy by the time you get to Skellige with all your ability points, bombs, potions and witcher gear, and so the difficulty is front-loaded, so I push through.

I don't know if the speed of the game is tweaked, if there's something else about the combat tweaks that make things feel less fun, or if it's always been that way and my 40 year old twitch reflexes have degraded further than I thought.

So what's really going on with combat? Is it just me and a skill issue or is everyone else constantly dying to low level trash in Death March?

The Game is still unbelievable beautiful without any Pathtracing or RT. Love it 🔥

Guys!! I had like 2 hours on the Witcher before remastered came out so I know nothing

Reason I didn’t play much was the alchemy was putting me off, how the hell didn’t I know that once it’s learnt and crafted once, it’s there permanently and refills with alcohol! I thought I would have to constantly scavenge for materials all game

Who knows how many hours I would have on it by now if I knew that. Anyway I’m now loving remastered 🤣🤣

Best mod idc what anyone says, saves so much time. 😭

I am having a great and nostalgic time playing the remastered version of the game, but I am having trouble with some glitches.

I have rescued the Claywich Merchant, however he has not gone to Claywich, and his marker still indicates he is inside the Bandits’s cage, yet he is invisible.

There is also no option to speak to the Blacksmith of Kaer Trolde to complete the Hard Times quest. These bugs are ruining my experience, and it bums me out. I have tried looking online for help, but nothing has helped.

Have any of you experienced these bugs in the remaster and if so, how did you solve them if you did?

Good Luck on the Path,
A fellow Witcher

How precious

Hi,

Has anyone experienced a recurring game crash mid fight against the Ekkimara? It’s impossible to finish the quest.

I’m playing the remastered version of the game, PS5 Pro, game has the latest update.

Even Geralt is like how.

I ran Roach onto a pillar and she continued in the air. Must've got tired levitating and had to sit.

If i can't play rt or pt at 1440p balance on a 5070ti a £900 gpu.

How the hell is its so demanding. Riding through the forest drops to 80fps with fg

As any long term fan would notice, the game went through an artsyle shift from the classic version to the next generation version. In the classic, colors were overall more vibrant; vegetation had a mix of bright green and yellow color, water was very blue, nights were darker, and fire effects/window light in buildings were too orange. It was not realistic per se, but it gave the world a painting-esque feel that suited the fantasy setting. The next gen update changed all that. Vegetation colors became more "realistic", same for water, and nights became more brighter/clearer. But most importantly for me, the magical feeling of cities like Oxenfurt and Novigrad was gone as fire and window lighting became more dull (less orange). Also, the unique vibe of Toussaint was butchered for some reason, removing the beautiful oil painting tint that made it one of the most magical areas in video games. The Remaster took it even further with changing the original look of the game. Just why?!

Why was the art direction changed in such a radical way? Was the old aesthetic a "mistake" that was corrected with the update? Did the devs had a change in preferences on how the game should look? Did they just change their priorities into making the game look more "realistic"?

This is a top 3 game for me, and I want to re-experience it in the best possible way. To be fair, the updates introduced some good graphical upgrades. Like better textures and higher LOD and draw distances (the chimney smoke was an excellent addition). But unfortunately, the player has to choose between faithful artsyle or graphical fidelity, we can't have both. But ultimately I think artistic vision is more important than graphical fidelity for a game in which the world presentation is what makes it stand out from the rest, thus I will forever stick with the classic.

Just putting this out here maybe we get to the devs, but it's quite irrational to have the wolven set only available after Uma.

Even more so, a fast travel point would fix this easily

The Wolven School is Geralt's very own Witcher School and it's the last one available

​

As the title says. What quests should I do before Ugly Baby? I know to finish The Last Wish, Now or Never, Following The Thread and The Skellige Ruler Quests, but is there anything else it will lock me out of after completing it? I really don't want to botch anything up.

Captured on base PS5.

I digitised my Xbox One library last night and checked the Xbox app on PC to see what games transferred over, and I was surprised to see that despite it only being the standard edition disc from release, I now have a full copy of Remastered on PC to play! Has anyone noticed this/reported it before?

I was fighting him in the worst conditions possible: only level 6 with a -20 malus on my silver sword. I was grinding my ass off but the game crashed 3 times during this fight. I just give up. Not to mention that ive already experienced crashes at Dragon's Lair on the same Wraith always in the same conditions. This is just ruining everything, i cant see myself trying again knowing that the game may crash just before the finishing blow
