    Wait what the fuck
    I just now realized that weapons and armor have durability ratings and need repairs now god damn it

    CD Projekt Red I trusted you

    So I chose Blood and Broken Bones difficulty (not the worst) and it seems very overwhelming in the early game, moving from encounter to encounter and quest to quest with no health recovery to fall back on.

    Am I missing some kind of inn-room or does it become moderately easier to stock up on consumable health items (food and drink)? Or should I just start over on Normal, meditate to heal mode?

    The inn that the main story quest takes you to sells food items
    That's probably the only reliable way to stock up right now

    You don't need to start over, anyway. You can change the difficulty in the gameplay section of the pause menu.

    Yeah I know the merchants sell food and drink but 42 crowns seems like highway robbery for a skein of water. I wish I could refill skins of water as easily as I could pick herbs.

    I guess I was hoping for some reliable but limited health recovery in the harder settings ala a Souls game. Normal seems trivial but the step up is pretty dang punishing and unfair.

    There's a perk called Sun and Stars that will regenerate your health by 10/second when out of combat during the day.

    However, Geralt has thousands of vitality points, so it takes a really long time to refill.

    Sweet, good to know it gets better. I also figured out I could slay a few woodland animals for raw meat.

    And the barman says, "Why the long face?"

    And Geralt says, "Because this is a dark world full of difficult choices and I'm conflicted as to whether my actions will make anything better."

    Yeah, the "simulate" choice gives you a conversation as soon as you leave the initial area to choose between the bigger choices in W2.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.
  • LorahaloLorahalo Registered User regular
    Oh man fuck the durability nonsense. Soon as a mod pops up to remove that, instant install.

    Was able to import my ancient Witcher 2 save. With a Q9650, GTX970, 6GB ram and an 8GB flash drive plugged in for readyboost, game runs super smooth on high settings. Not gonna push my luck with ultra though. It's pretty enough.

    I am playing Witcher 1.

    Having to find a fire to meditate is annoying.

    I really like the ff9 card game, and triple triad is solid

    Gwent just seems like basically a nothing game?

    Its like an elaborate version of "there are thirty things, take 1-3, the person who gets the last one loses"

    Just not much to it

    Along with something that removes encumberance. Dumbest game mechanic ever made.

    Does anyone know what else changes from normal to the second hardest difficulty besides the healing

    because if thats it then I'm just gonna go back to normal

    why is doing all the prep work for a hunt so satisfying

    it's basically homework

    it's basically homework

    Because it makes you feel invested in what you're doing

    in GTA5 the heist setup stuff, removed from "i am doing this to make the heist possible", is basically the most boring thing in the world

    but it makes you feel like youre actually doing something important

    its a really cool thing that more games should do

    If anyone wasn't aware, the English translation of The Sword of Destiny, the second short story collection, is out today
    The short stories are a great way to figure out if you'd like to delve into the novels

    The one thing they didn't take from Red Dead Redemption that I really really wish they did

    Hitching posts for your horse

    I don't like just leaving him in the middle of the road to wander off

    It's a funny dumb horse

    Geralt has apparently had numerous horses, all of whom he's named Roach (so he doesn't get attached)

    I have already fallen into my old Witcher 1 & 2 habits

    Get a new main quest, get into a new town

    Immediately pull every single thing off the notice board and go do all of those and don't even think about the main quest until all of them are done
