No need. We’ve been there man.
Goddamn game is goddamn endless.

Yeah man, me too. I literally stared at it for a minute or two wanting there to be a third option.
After hitting level 31 and literally every single question mark I have seen on the map because I’m anal that way, I’ve hit the you cannot fast travel to another continent, or take a boat for that matter, because crash to desktop. None of my saves work. Anyone found a way around it? If not it’s game over for me because I literally cannot get to another continent without a CTD.

If you’re running borderless try fullscreen instead, and vice versa.

This happened to me late in the game when loading a save game in Skellige. The work around is to load any other old save in Velen/Novigrad, then load the Skellige save at which point you should be able to fast travel without the crash. If you do not have a save in Velen/Novigrad I have read that you can download one from some of the mods sites.

I’m not sure I even want the Season Pass DLC. This is literally the opposite of every other game. It’s almost too much content and I want to move on and get started on Life is Strange again but there is no end in sight. I’ll be witchering till the end of my days.

It was hard to skip content in Witcher 3 because it was all so good. I had ? turned off so I don’t know exactly how much I missed, but I didn’t do a lot in Skeliege. Must of missed some in Novograd too.
Keep your expectations low on Life is Strange to decrease your chance of being disappointed. I made it through probably 75% of episode 1 and found the story kinda of uninteresting. I know (once again) I’m in the minority on Life is STrange). I stopped playing that and started playing the Talos Principal - great puzzles!
Yeah, I remember when people were worried about them filling up the game with good content before it released. I’m over 50 hours and have barely touched the islands and I know there’s plenty more for a second run already since I did basically abandon quite a few bits I’d found but seriously out leveled.
But I’ll still totally spring for all the expansions planned. If endlessly witchering is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
Yeah. I’m trying too late to stop levelling up so ‘quickly’. I’ve bumped the difficulty up to the top level, and belatedly taken that trophy off Roach that was giving me the 5% XP boost. I only wear armour that’s pretty, too.
Alistair, I did the same thing around level 18. I was leveling way to fast. I am actually disappointed when the Witcher gear (like Griffin) has +X% Exp gain. My quest log is huge, I have barely explored 50% of Velen and there are ? all over my map still. I am just stunned at how big this game is and how all the quests are just excellent. I just got to Kaer Morhen for the first time, time-wise I feel like the game is almost over but story-wise it feels a way off still.
Re Triss and Yen, I did Now or Never first but had heard choosing Yen “was better”. By the time I got to Kaer Morhen with Yen I just couldn’t do it any longer, I reloaded the Now or Never save I kept tucked away and choose Triss and replayed the 6-7 hours to catch back up.
I’m at 59 hours, closing in at 60 hours fast. I think I’ve been doing enough sidequests that I’m starting to lose track of the bigger picture. Time to get back on the main track I think.
Well, okay, maybe after finishing one more Witcher Contract.
The “problem” is that the side quests are so well fleshed out that they would be main quest material in just about any other game. It’s ridiculously good and it’s hard to stop doing the completionist thing.

I didn’t realize that you the Velen Gwent Quest was anything more than just go around and see who you can play - that there was a real order to go in and I needed to start with the Baron. I’d just found him in the garden, had that serious discussion (no spoilers) at what I thought was close to the end of the quest (it wasn’t, of course) and then after all of that emotion, “Hey, how bout some Gwent!” “Sure, and if you win I’ll give you a cool card I have!”
Somehow I beat him pretty easily (my deck is still weak) and he gave me the location of some people to play, including one he said is probably too strong for me, gave me the card (which was a disappointment, I want one of those Scorch cards!) and now I find myself wanting to ignore my reason for living, Witcher business, to find people and play cards. LOL!
It SOOOO doesn’t fit my “role” and I’m all about role playing characters in games like this, which is why I ignored Gwent for the first 5 levels of my character. Are all deck building games this cool? Like I said before, I never could get into Ascension.
I’m glad I’m not getting into this Gwent business.
It totally doesn’t fit with the role lol, yeah. But it’s a minigame that ties up very well with the RPG structure, of getting in a new place and at the same time you talk to people, find new quests, sell equipment, etc, you also search for Gwent players, buy new cards, the same with the feeling of progression as your deck starts being better and better, same as your Geralt in the game is stronger and stronger.
I skipped Gwent during my playthrough for similar reasons, the Baron being the point where I decided it didn’t fit into my playstyle. “Baron, I have some terrible news about your family … but first, let’s play cards!”
But taken on its own, Gwent is a cool game. Having finished the main story, I now want some way to play Gwent without going through an entire second playthrough. I wish there was some sort of tournament mode that unlocked after you finished the main game.

Yeah, but I guess role playing Geralt isn’t really “authentic” in the game either. From the moment he enters his first town, people know who he is and what he is: A Witcher, a trained killer, a monster killer who takes on the scary beasts that soldiers run away from. Yet, in the beginning, this master of killing who carries two blades on his back has trouble with a pack of dogs or a single bear. Of course, it wouldn’t fit RPG conventions to have him start out as a Witcher in terms of skills, but that is one of the issues you just have to swallow with a series that features a character that is already well developed (such as Geralt.) In Skyrim or, say, Fallout:New Vegas, I can totally buy starting out as a pretty clueless and helpless newbie, and it is fun to role play growing in skills and abilities. In W3, to truly be consistent with the character, he would start out as a Witcher in skills. Of course, that would leave little room to progress. Except for Gwent skills. ;)
