This is a pretty damn awesome patch. I don't know who the games UI designer(s) are but they clearly fucked up the inventory system. Perhaps my most wanted here was a player stash. All that witcher gear really adds up and yes I'm one of those guys who wants to make everything even if I just end up wearing Cat gear most the time. :p

Now if only they'd release a patch that rebalances the level curve. It's fine lower levels but 10+ you level super fast and it becomes extremely easy to over-level. In my main game by the time I was doing the first few level 12 Skellige missions I was level 25. The reason? I did a LOT of PoI's and side-missions but I still had dozens more to do. So I decided to start over, with the intention to only doing the main missions (and a few side-things if I need the levels) and while I'm still in the middle of red baron/witches I'm already starting to be over-leveled and I've barely touched the side-content.

Come on CDPR, you really need to fix this issue.

im not sure its possible to fix this issue, because you dont want to cut people off from the main story or the side quests.. really the only solution is to remove content, and thats bullshit

the other option is to change the entire xp curve itself, which would take months and months of work if not years, because you are starting from scratch and you have like 300 quests to consolidate

The mutagen crafting bug was fixed in the last patch. The bug where your mutagen bonuses disappear after reloading a save is still kicking and might be slated for fixes in this patch, not sure though. It's not exactly game breaking but it is pretty annoying when it happens.

That Mutagen error you posted about before...has that been fixed already? I haven't played in awhile after deciding to wait for more of the free DLC and more patches to come out. After reading that bug introduced in a patch, I kept waiting.

Totally agree, I'm so glad I have been holding off waiting for some patches before I picked this back up. and now after this new patch will be a good time to jump back in.

Can't wait for this patch to deploy.

im just trying to imagine how utterly fucking super awesome Cyberpunk 2077 will be... shit is going to CRUSH it

With how much I've enjoyed Witcher 1, 2 and now 3. I'll probably do what I never do and Pre-order this when I can. These guys have been delivering.

I'm currently 90 hours into this game and I don't think I'm even half done.

Ive not been a fan of the Witcher series. However W3 is something else entirely, it's like someone at CDPR read my mind and designed a Witcher game how I imagined one should play. Definitely my GOTY, actually thats an understatement, I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a single player game this much. Im very close to the end now, but I can't bring myself to finish it. I just don't want it to end I guess. One of the problems a game like the Witcher has is replayability. I know you can choose to finish quests differently etc. but you are still playing as Geralt. Still, great game, fantastic game actually. Puts to shame the western AAA studios out there. Take note Bethsoft, Bioware, Blizzard. This is how its done...

Same. However, if I didn't have a few games I need to finish up, I'd have purchased by now. I tend to run a year behind, which is cool.

EDIT: Whoops. Can't quote good tonight. Response was to CJ and his response to the rest.

I enjoyed the first two, but if I learned anything from them it's that there will eventually be an Enhanced Edition, so I'm holding out for that. I've come close to giving in a few times, but a game this size, I'm not sure I'd be willing to try to give it a second playthrough, so I'll wait for the EE.

Larian same. LOL. But I think I'd feel if there were a good sale price on this now that I'd be ready to bite. I'm now at a point I'll pickup DA:I, they are never really going to hit all the right buttons with me, so I've put my pay price accordingly, hasn't quite made it that far down yet.

Well that may be a while. They're doing a proper expansion for it in the spring with one quest at 10+ hours and the other at 2+. Given the size and scope of the game a few playthroughs are going to be par for the course.

Dude, one exp is coming in October (the 10 hours one) and the other 20 hours one is due in spring next year. So an EE is probably going to come out summer (earliest) or fall/holiday 2016. But we'll have to see if it's even going to include the expansions. I could imagine that they will keep the EE and the expansions separate for a while and will then release a Gold/Platinum/Complete/Super-GOTY with the expansions at a much later date in 2017.

Anyway I'm also waiting for the EE. The game ain't goin' nowhere so who gives a shit how long it takes. It will only becum even MOAR ASWSUMER until then!

I assume by optional movement response, it'll be like Witcher 1 and 2 where he moves near instantly in the direction you choose.

We can only hope! Basically, a movement system where you move when you move, you know like real life!

I find it so funny that the 1.0 movement was so insanely sluggish, making Geralt less agile than my own self in real life. I've never got stuck hugging a door or found myself running in weird little circles when picking flowers. So am I just a ninja or what?!?

Yeah, after W3 I'm totes cool with whatever CDPR is doing and how long it takes.

A new, alternative (optional) movement response mode for Geralt.

Ooooh, interesting. I find normal movement to be rather clunky and I'd really like this to be tighter, without an extra step when you stop. It is realistic as Geralt is running but I guess I've been spoilt by less realistic titles.

These guys are awesome. If it were some other company's title (say, Ubisoft), we'd be waiting on critical performance enhancements or fixes for crippling bugs instead of thoroughly enjoying the game. Glad I'm taking a sloth-like, OCD, completionist, smell-the-roses path through this gem.

Finished the game 2 days ago. This game is absolutely killing for comletionists! And some point I actually wanted it to stop, so I tried to press myself to continue the main quest. But then I saw another exclamation point appear on the map, and I couldn't ignore it. One of those times it turned out to be a quest with one of the best closing scene where Geralt was basically met and thanked by the entire village and it was one of the first times in the game where I felt like the benevolent hero I tried Geralt to be.

I think I had the perfect ending of the game, btw. Good closure, but no heavy emotions that kept haunting me for the next few days like a very good movie would.
