What a peaceful and pleasant game to come back to.
I tried doing the quest called “The Last Wish”. Unfortunately, Geralt’s love interest all seem to draw bugs like nothing else in this game. Yen gets on a boat, and keeps chiding me for not being ready and not getting on the boat.
I tried standing on all spots on the boat. I’ve tried taking the helm from her. I’ve tried swimming under the boat. I’ve tried climbing onto the boat from both sides. I’ve tried jumping into the boat from the docks. I don’t know. I give up. I guess it’s time to move on. I don’t want to start hating Yennifer like I started hating the red headed chick.
It might be finicky, but I believe you have to sit on the opposite side of the boat from her.

Are you supposed to sit at the opposite end of the boat?
Edit: What Becoming said.
I was hung up on that for some time myself.
Thanks. I’ll give it another try tomorrow. I hope I can make it work.

Played through the first time on Xbox One, but I just picked up the PC version to take advantage of my new video card and monitor.
Might want to split my time between the desktop and my notebook, though. Is there any provision for cloud saves if I’m using the GOG version of Witcher 3?
No way to do it yet through Galaxy, but since I’m assuming you have OneDrive access ;), you can upload your saves from your documents folder that way. I know that’s a few extra steps, but that’s probably as good as it gets until GoG implements it with Galaxy client.
They wrote one line in the changelog about balacing the last difficulty. Not sure if that means it’s harder now, I hope so.
Redanian Air Force, lol. Good humor even in small treasure hunt missions.
Both them and the boars are pretty fun to fight against. I also fought some dark shades, but they behaved more like a new skin from one of the old monsters.
I haven’t finished it, of course, but given how many hours I played and how much I advanced, I have the feeling this is clearly going to be more than the promised 10 hours, or at least it’s more if you go on into crafting the new equipment, the new runes, read the notes and books, do the new monster nests, bandit bases and treasure chests, etc.

Same! I spent 5k on the initial investment and I’m pretty much tapped out on cash for now. I’ll have to earn the rest the old fashioned way.
I’m so happy to return to this game, and there are tons of side quests from the original campaign I never explored. The only obstacle between me and more Witcher 3 gaming bliss is the fact that I have no free time in RL!
The guy is actually a gold sink for high level players. He later asks 10k and then 15k gold. And the most funny thing, the improvements aren’t that good (as they need the three slots in the equipment).

Do the video settings always get reset when the game gets updated? I have no idea what I had them set at and don’t remember what settings affect the framerate the most. I know hairworks is expensive.
It’s amazing what I can forget after not playing for 4 months or so. I haven’t really touched it since I finished it at release. I can’t remember what potions or powers I use. It’s going to take some getting used to, which would be easier if I was starting from scratch, but i want to play the DLC.
foliage distance, shadow quality and hairworks affect framerate the most.

I’ll try putting those down 1 notch, thanks. My framerate is between the high 30s and low 50s with everything jacked up.

Wow, how tough did people find that first DLC boss monster? Not sure if he is hard or I’ve just gotten that bad.
It’s hard. Just make sure you use Quen and Igni (normal modes, not alternate) and you should be fine.
The DLC in general is hard. Lots of hard fights, both in monster groups, soldiers or bosses.
The first boss is doable,
toady
the tongue is easy to avoid, same as the poison projectiles, when he launches several you can ignite the poison clouds with Agni. Imo the key is to not fall in the temptation of rolling away (as other big monsters usually need) when he does the vertical jump, which is his most used move. Just use the evade backwards move, if you do it in time it’s enough to avoid the attack, and it leaves you still close enough to go on attacking him without wasting time. Use the anti-poison potion, a stamina potion to spam quen easily, and maybe the one for the extra critical damage.
Also try some of the bombs.
The third boss is even harder, though in the end, it’s actually not that complicated, just have to guess what the designer wanted you to do.
third boss
It’s about forgetting how you fight normally in W3 (rolling, evading, doing kind of hit and run style of attack, using signs), but just doing this: parrying his normal attack chain, counter parry when he uses an attack with red trail, and evade when he throws dirt to your eyes.
