Is that the book found in the room with the witches' painting?

I'm beginning to have performance issues the further I progress.  It's the same thing that happened with Fallout and Skyrim.  Objects now disappear and reappear at random.  The fps take a drop.  The game was buttery smooth at first.  Seems the more missions I tackle and more stuff I collect, make the game take a hit.  Too much to load up?

Fuck that sounds like the Bethesda issues. The more stuff you leave in the world the bigger mess it becomes. What shit.

And yes it's that book.

I am totally in love with the game. The baron is one of the most interesting complex characters I have seen in a game and he is just one tiny npc in this huge world. What a story, and the choices you make can influence how it turns out, wow. I marvel at the game world, it's breathtaking.

I have turned up the difficulty to max, it was getting too easy. I discovered that the quen secondary shield restores life every time an enemy hits it. That changes everything!

This is quite possibly the greatest game world ever put in a game.

The baron is definitely the same guy who played The King in Game of Thrones 1st season...Baratheon. Even looks like him.

The game is amazing....even if you forget about it being an RPG and just look at it as an open world title. As much as I love the Elder Scrolls titles, if you want to do all there is to do in those games, you're going to come across long stretches of boring gameplay. Wild Hunt on the other hand, does not get boring....the pace is incredible. It doesn't even have the problems that Grand Theft Auto and Assassin's Creed titles have, where all the missions start to feel the same thing over and over. Up to where I am, each mission is unique and different, and the game constantly has you wanting to see what happens next.

Nice to see them fixing the font size, there is some really small font in this game. So far though I'm having an excellent time with the game. Not really all that far into it yet though.

Some of these choices are so hard to make. I cheated on one and looked up what could happen, some stuff is brutal. They way choice matters is really incredible.

I cheated to find out the best solution for Anna.  Turns out there wasn't one.  Has anyone made it into Novigrad yet.  The Count missions are nice, though the count is quite the ass.  I don't really know Whoreson, but when I meet him, I'm whipping his ass. Now, I'm off to the ball!

What level is everyone? I just made it to 14.

I'm Level 10. Still haven't made it into Novigrad either. I just did the Crones bit of the Baron stuff last night. It was creepy and gut-wrenching.

" Let me tell you why you shouldn't lie to me!"

Holy shit, Geralt is becoming one of my favorite game protagonist ever.  What an amazing payoff to a certain quest.

vader, so W2 wasn't anything like this?  I feel like I want to go back and play because I've missed out on so much?

No. That game is like a semi linear action adventure game with poor combat and sinple level design. Imagine if witcher3 took place in like a tiny tiny section of the map with super boring quests like "kill 5 nests", "clear the cave of monsters". Every once in a while you get a good quest bit there are like 10 of them at most. if you like the character and story than sure play it, it's got plenty of that.

The lighting is incredible.

I'm worried I won't be as impressed with Zelda U now....because this game does so much of what I was hoping for from Zelda.

Well, apparently the fights I was having trouble with were for quests well above my level according to the questlog, so maybe that was the problem...I'll skip them for now. I also figured out a strategy to keep the shield up 100% of the time, but it does't really make the combat more interesting or fun; just easiser against large groups.
