I prefer Blood and Semen.

Is this shit like Elder Scrolls or the shit like that?

Heck no

It's like 13th century Magical Poland that's dark as heck, like super medieval and grim

I mean it's like Elder Scrolls in that it's a huge open world RPG, but it's actually an RPG

i cant wait for this game to be on sale with all the dlc

i couldn't wait


starting new game plus with heart of stone ;-;7

Do you still lose all your Gwent cards going in to NG+?

That really put me off a second playthrough.
I don't wanna COLLECT 'EM ALL again.

Oh yeah, in a recent interview CDPR said Toussaint will be about as big as all of Skellige combined. So, pretty big.

I have this game but I've never played it

And the season pass

Found some more info and screens

The Numbers:
•   30+ hour adventure.
•   Over 90 new quests.
•   Over 40 new points of interest.
•   Dynamic points of interest system. Killing bandits in their main hideout will affect the number of enemies in surrounding camps.
•   14000 lines of dialogue (Hearts of Stone had 6000).
•   100 individual pieces of armour (including new Witcher sets).
•   More than 20 new monsters.
•   New Game + maximum level increased to 100.

Armour and Weapons:
•   New Witcher armour class ‘Grandmaster’.
•   New armour merchant who is the only one able to craft this level of Witcher gear.
•   Can get blue, hooded armour from Witcher 2, armour from Witcher 1, Ursine Witcher armour with furry pauldron that was in the artbook but cut from the main game.
•   More than 30 new weapons.
•   Can now dye armour. Dyes can be bought from a merchant, crafted or looted. Only obtainable in Toussaint. Pink is among the colours.
•   You can acquire the golden, plumed armour of the Touissant knights, and the same goes for Roach!

New Mutation System:
•   Mutations. 12 new abilities. Mechanic is unlocked through a quest started by a letter from Yennefer. Examples: Signs can have critical hits causing the enemy to explode, instead of dying Geralt is healed and has damage immunity, opponents knocked down by AARD freeze and die instantly. Can only utilise one at a time.
•   The UI resembles Witcher 2’s character customization screen. Basically they’re super strong abilities/stat boosts that require mutagens and skill points to unlock. Can only pick one at a time but you have to unlock earlier ones to get the others.
•   Despite unlocking it at level 34+ (recommended level to venture to Touissant) the system and anything you’ve unlocked carries over to New Game+ so you won’t have to unlock it again.

UI Changes:
•   Greatly redesigned User Interface.
•   Can now rotate Geralt in stats screen.
•   Books moved to glossary.
•   Upon looting a readable item a little notification pops up in bottom left of screen. Upon clicking in the right stick (on Xbox One controller), you can read the text of recently looted books, letters, notes etc without having to go to the menu, inventory, finding the right book and so on.
•   Option to remove fish-eye effect from witcher sense.

Home Base:
•   Geralt gets his own motherfucking vineyard.
•   It’s called Corvo Bianco.
•   You can renovate it with large sums of money, the option I saw was for 5000 Orens.
•   You can add a greenhouse of sorts where you can grow herbs for all your witcher potion needs, an armourer’s table, a stable for Roach (with its own stat bonuses), upgrade your bed, renovated interior and exterior, secret lab, guest room.
•   Guest room where old friends will come to stay. They said the names Triss and Yennefer, but were reluctant to reveal the names of anyone else who might visit. Surprise Iorveth/Saskia visit?Unlikely
•   Scaffolding and workers will appear after you choose to build something. Each change takes a certain amount of in-game time to complete, but you can just meditate til everything’s done.
•   Can display your armour, weapons, paintings and books.
•   Some paintings can be bought, or specially made, others are obtained through quests.

Music:
•   Over 2 hours of new musical content in the game.
•   The title screen song is a reworked version of the Bruxa song from the CGI trailer.

Other Tidbits:
•   Can enter Geralt in a tournament, creating his own logo and team colours.
•   Can enter under a fake name, although you may not fool everyone.
•   You can of course race horses, but other events involve crossbow shooting and a grand melee. Seems like there will be more but they didn’t want to say.
•   No new unique weather effects, but the lighting has been prepared specially to reflect the feeling of Southern Europe.
•   No new hairstyles.
•   As of the preview event (3/5/16) they were still working on the final boss fight.
•   Grass has been optimised, more of it but less expensive.
•   Improvements to cloth tech (see interview for more detail).
•   New sword sheathing option. With this new option Geralt no longer automatically unsheathes his sword at the start of combat. Also, he no longer switches weapons to match the opponent. The player has to do it on their own.
•   CDPR staff were given a sheet that says “We do not talk about Cyberpunk” for this press tour.
•   Bioware staff apparently cheered when Witcher 3 was delayed out of 2014.
•   Nilfgaard and Northern Kingdoms physical Gwents cards exist, unsure if they’re being packaged with this expansion.
•   Release date May 31.









Old UI vs New UI

Developer Diary.


I need this right now.

How the fuck do you guys get to lvl 39?

I've literally completed everything except a couple of grey quests that I never did and I've barely scraped into 38. I just want to get the Viper gear before I start Blood and Wine smh.

Try starting Hearts of Stone. Unless you've already done that too. Or NG+? I'm like level 69 I think.

Also, Tyger. Get out. The combat is fine.

Done HoS, and I want to do NG+ after I've done all the expansions. Everything I kill only grants me like 10xp and I can't really be bothered to trudge through all the question marks in Skellige and Velen.

I mean it's no biggie. I'm sure I can level up during the first quest of BaW but I would've preferred to start the expansion with the Viper gear.

Alright. I looked it up. Go to the expanded area in Novigrad added with Hearts of Stone. Should be Northeast corner IIRC. Find all the level 38/39 monsters and grind it out. The person said it doesn't take too long.
