You still have the starter gear? Why? You should have done stuff in White Orchard for new gear, and bought some weapon/armour blueprints.I did everything in White Orchard, and crafted better weapons and armour. I think I was level 5 by the time I even got to Velen.

Make sure you do the Witcher contracts and the other random side quests on the notice boards. Explore the undiscovered locations on the map.The better gear is almost always a craftable item, so make sure to go to peddlers and the blacksmiths to see if they have blueprints for gear.The Viper School Witcher sword is the best silver sword you can get from White Orchard, but it's only craftable from a blueprint you get from a side quest.

I'm guessing the undiscovered locations are quests too?
Don't bother with going back to WO. Just make sure you do all the low level quests, follow the Keira Metz subplot, find the Griffin school gear and don't go to Oxenfurt or Novigrad until you've levelled up to at least lv 10 in the rural areas.
a little annoyed with the loot system, it just lacks a lot
I was told this game was going to be leagues above DA: Inquisition, and so far it's about as enjoyable as Fable III is.

He needs to go back to WO to get better gear so he doesn't get arse raped in Velen.

Hell, I got bumraped by a pack of lvl 5 wolves for a fetch quest the other day. It's not even the difficulty that bothers me. It's the fact that acquiring gear is an absolute puzzling chore.It's pretty annoying. Why the fuck should I have to do side quests just to get powerful enough to complete the main quest? And why don't main quest missions reward me with gear for that matter? Isn't the whole point of an RPG about choice?I really hope the game gets better as I progress, because I'm not particularly impressed with some of the design choices so far.

And as long as he never tries buying his armour and weapons he'll be fine, the trick is to get everything crafted-the dwarf at crow's perch is great for armour. For weapons, there's one in a village somewhere that's not half bad too. I only ever bought ingredients for my armours and weapons, better that way.

It'll help him not suck complete dick in Velen.

You literally hold a trigger and occasionally press an action button. So no, it doesn't have well designed combat. TW3's combat actually requires you to do something. You just suck dick at it.

Witcher's ridiculous hit detection for enemies/press a button and wait five years for a response combat.

Upgrade Quen so it knocks away enemies after it's destroyed. Counter enemy attacks just before they connect.I had zero problem with the Griffin.The combat really isn't the problem here.

I've literally had no problem with the combat, because I have thumbs.
