Multiplat The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Tales of a legendary card playing, camomile drinking adventurer

Just travel around the first area completing everything you can before doing the main questline. It helps to level up but also to get used to the controls and combat. Once you reach the next region the game will really open up.

If you get stuck, there are plenty of guides out there.

Yes there's the story, but there's also gameplay and game mechanics. Anything less than Death March you pretty much don't even have to use pots/oils/bombs or even almost signs. It's not like you lose the story by playing on a harder difficulty.

You can always turn it down for individual encounters if you get stuck then turn it back up after.

This is why I always play games on the hardest difficulty. If I play normal or under, in a game where there's a somewhat decent sized inventory system, I don't use anything and the game becomes boring if you miss out on game-play and breeze through it. I'm at the point where I play and have fun laughing at some of the ridiculous stuff on harder difficulties, then figuring out how to deal with it. My favourite part of TW3 were doing the side missions and contracts, not sure it'd be the same if it wasn't for Death March.

2hrs into the game have no idea what I'm doing or where to go lol

Never played a full RPG before, so it's totally new experience.

While the card game Gwent might seem like a waste of time early on, I suggest playing it (because you will almost certainly come to like it if you like the story) and beating the inn keeper before you leave White Orchard - iirc there is a card she has that you can only get if you win it prior to leaving the first time

Gwent is a total waste. Completely ignore it and any reference to it throughout the game if possible.

 

[gaskin]

Gwent is life. It is awesome. Play as much as possible.

 

[dwwaino]

I don't trust a man who doesn't like Gwent.

Gwent is the game, all the other stuff is a bonus

 

[Deathly]

I had fun with Gwent, but it got disappointingly easy when you had even a few of the proper character cards. I always wanted to play the proper version, but don't really have time to sink into learning a new card game.

 

[Sixpence]

Gwent is definitely worth playing. I kinda enjoyed the collecting of the Gwent cards more than playing. But it's still fun to play.

I’m enjoying playing Gwent in Blood and Wine. It’s no doubt tougher in Toussant

Almost makes me feel like buying one. Is anyone here playing it on the new systems?

just found out The Witcher 3 has quick resume on the Series X. Crazy how I can change from the gameplay of Red Dead 2 to The Witcher 3 in a couple seconds.

I ignored it. They just drop you into this weird card game with no instructions and say have at it

Nah I'm cool

It's like being given a Ferrari and then proceeding to sit in the driveway playing with the radio.

Only if the radio is playing all your favourite songs!

Villager: "Geralt, help us! Our village is being raided by bandits. They're torching our houses and killing our women and children."
Geralt: "Sure, but how about a round of Gwent first?"
Villager: *nods*

It's such a pain riding Roach compared to the horses in RDR2.

I might try and get stuck into the DLC very soon after reading through this thread, apparently the last DLC is better than the main game.

Blood and Wine is superb, its big enough to be its own game

 

[Sixpence]

Both DLC's are great.

Better than the main game? No. It is excellent, though.

 

[ioppolo]

Toussaint is a beautiful setting. Stunning even.

But the main game as a collective is 10x better

 

[2006_Eagles]

The DLC's are great, but this "better than the main game" thing is a bit rich

 

[Atavistic]

You get to **** different women in the DLC.
