Any fellow rpg nerds grinding on The Witcher 3? Insanely huge. Liking it so far.

I picked it up. Not far into it, but enjoying it so far. I keep thinking about advancing the storyline, but find myself playing cards a lot.

Haha, keep doing it and get every card you can. Play everyone you can. I didn't and now am having trouble with being outmatched. Hopefully it isn't too critical to the game. Oops

I downloaded it based on the recommendation here. It has potential. I will post more when I get more grounded in the scope/freedom of the game. So far, I like it.

2 complaints though. A little too much dialogue/cut scenes, at least so far. Also, the writing is way too small.

I saw Mass Effect 3 for 9 dollars the other day and bought it haha, so slow on this one!
I love the series but got hit with Sequelitis mid-way through part 2...

All I want to hear about is Fallout 4. They could get my attention with other things though.

True that. Been looking forward to a new fallout for a long time.

They are fixing the font size in the next update. Agree with the enormous amount of cut scenes being a little too much. Great game so far.

Yeah. I had like 40 minutes to play last night. Like 30 minutes of watching cut scenes and then looked for side missions for a few minutes.

It's a solid game when it's going. I'm thinking I'm through the introductory story part and I'm turned loose. A lot of the dialogue was necessary to build the world


A lot of the crafting and alchemy is very overwhelming

Don't even sweat it early on. Just collect as much as you can of everything and sort it out later on. You find a lot of good gear to use without it.

Oh yeah. I'm an ocd hoarder when it comes to games like this

How is the combat in Witcher 3? I stopped playing Witcher 2 because of the wonky combat.

I played the Witcher 2 and don't remember any wonky combat, what do you mean?

I thought the controls for combat sucked. Maybe Dead Souls had me spoiled.

Combat seems ok. Swimming is just plain awful.

MayDay10

oh my god, swimming. lol. Make sure you save it before going underwater!


Fallout seems like we will see some deets at the E Convention. Cant wait! I hope it is done very well. IMO, Fallout 3 and its DLC is the best console game of all time, and I don't say that lightly.
I heard awhile back that Boston was to be the setting... we'll see.

Kat

Re: Fallout 4. I'm hoping it's Boston. Exploring around the blown up monuments is a blast. heh. I have a FO3 game going with Fawkes and Dogmeat...too fun. I think the next step will be Mothership Zeta.

MayDay10

I think it would be optimal if they had Boston, and somehow you had access to a working railcar and were able to transport to NYC. That gives a lot of area. I just dont think Boston has quite enough recognizable landmarks to make a fully immersive game like the last 2 Fallouts had (DC/Vegas).

And Mothership Zeta was awesome. Crank up the difficulty level.

Kat

Looking forward to exploring M.I.T. (if rumors true) and the subways loaded with who knows what.
And, yes, I'm hoarding all the stimpaks I can get my hands on.
