prepare white honey and raffard's decoctionfor knockdown drink willowswallow and tawny owl for standard regenwhen low hp drink raffardwhen toxicity is nearing 60 drink white honey and potions againwhen your butt is kicked you dont have to dance with javed, you arent glued to him. run up the stairs and wait for regen.burn him and whack him.run upstairs and go in circles around the room. keep enough distance to charge level 4 strong style attack, hit and run again. rinse and repeat.
swallow potion sounds better then chicken leg if you dont mind the taste.ask if you have doubts about game mechanics
i'll wait with anticipation.you are just not used to the new difficulty. geralt has so many means of killing enemies and player has so many ways to manoeuvre, run, jump out of combat etc. you'll discover everything again or first time while playing it.i just got to the point where i'm seriously disappointed by current difficulty. drawing 1-2 enemies at a time provide little challange and its good. geralt should win in solo when he is on high level but there are some serious imbalances in game. i'm adding damage multipliers to enemies now. 2 garkains can easily bring me to low hp but i just discovered that the same resistant and strong garkains in ammount of 6 or more can be killed in few seconds with rambo-charge and group style!! group style deals less than 10 damage but precise hit just slaughter everything instantly. i have still a lot of work before me. game is very unballanced from beggining. wherever you look there is sick exploit.soon i'll change the whole mod naming. 1.5 will be 1.01.0 will be medium difficultypre 1.5 will be beta2.0 will be hard[size=16pt]first post updated and reorganised.2 new versions of the mod available[/size]
developed igni and inteligence + endurance for high energy + potions tawny owl and maribor forest and you dont have to draw a sword, you'll burn everything to ashes.
every flesh eater and blood drinker will regenerate after feasting on you.there are hundreds of ways to make a proper fighting with enemies in witcher. the game is so easy that you dont have to use 90% of geralt's true potential.let me list just a few of them against necrophages to illustrate wide range of possibilities:1) so, you attack strong enemies with strong swords style? take a few hits with fast style to inflict critical effect: pain, then continue with strong. pain reduces enemy defense and accuracy, you wont be hit that often. reapply pain after 1-2 full strong attack sequence2) you can kill enemies with just dot (damage over time) effects. ignite him, hit him with strong style and watch him bleed and burn. you dont have to melee him then3) use places of power and focus stones. increased sign strength saves life sometimes although i dont like aard because its overpowered and unbalanced4) necrophage oil works very well. you just dont seem to notice because you are being eaten alive 
. at low levels you are doing low damage so +100% dmg is hardly noticed. +100% from base 4 damage is nothing. +100% from 20 damage or higher is great. alghoul has 250 hp5) you are knocked down or stunned? starting from act 2 use black blood potion http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Blood or willow potion http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Willow6) starting from act 2, quen + yrden signs combination is underestimated. well developed yrden is a HUGE debuff to opponents7) starting from act 2, use quen before drinking potions8) once you start meleeing enemy you are not glued to him. dont hesitate to run a bit to regain health and energy. in game geralt is almost godlike, in books he faught monsters 1v19) while attacking with group style, face weakest enemy. you'll reach others with your sword but you wont be reached by stronger opponents10) be mobile on the battlefield. enemies have almost 100% chance to hit you from behind. avoid being surrounded, jump, run.

outro. foltest assassin was a witcher. we dont know who, how, where, definitely not from kaer morhen. if not from wolf clan there are few other possibilities.
male elves are in woods fighting or in old visima ghetto. femaler dwarves are rare and precious to dwarves so they stay safe in mahakam mountains. i dont think they have facial hair, maybe few have some problems like human women game widow mentioned but its not a rule. "i dont think" because i dont remember any fragment about this issue in books
but its not a rule. "i dont think" because i dont remember any fragment about this issue in booksneed files responsible for skill tree description
i found .luc files which might containt descriptions but its impossible to compile them from .luc to .lua due to an error. if someone can post these files or tell me how to recompile or edit them i'll greatly appreciate it.

using only half of what game has to offer? that doesnt sound like fun.check my signature.
new version 1.4 balancing boss fights is ready to downloaddownload link and ver 1.4 mod description can be found in first post of this topic.
negative effects:-lowers attack so you have hard time hitting enemies-lowers defense-lowers potion effect, f.e. swallow regen doesnt work as good as when you have 0 toxicity level, white raffard's decoction heal is minimal-vitality damage
in books there's is heavy swearing but much less of it and it perfectly suits the situation. in game the language is not the actual problem but how frequently you hear it. also when we think of a thug or even a dwarf archetype we imagine a coarse, direct man who wont abstain from using hard language. try to define the personality of each of those npcs. you'll expect them swearing but when you actually hear it, plain and uncensored, you are shocked. generally i dont have anything against swearing when its justified by the situation but when i hear someone swearing and i dont know the context it seriously hurts my ears. there must be a reason to swear. only a boor or unmature person will randomly throw curses. we should remember that we dont know the mood of those npcs or context of their discussions. its just a game so it limits us in this matter.i believe this disappointment is just an initial reaction when you first play through act 1 and visit act 2 slums. too many simple peasents and thugs in there. later you'll encounter higher social classes and dialogues will change radicaly.
i guess he knew he had very little time till he pass out due to blood loss so he deatl with her without thinking. there dont have to be a reason, he just did it and it worked. beside her mind was like an animal. she didnt recieve any proper study, she didnt know anything about culture, language. how an animal would react to bite in the neck? calm down?Corylea said:
:-\ he looks like >40 y.o., nearing 50 maybe. too old for my taste and its definitely not Michal Żebrowski. i'm Polish and i can say only bad things about the witcher movie and tv series but at least Michal Żebrowski looked good in his role. his voice is also close to ingame Polish geralt voice-over.sean connery? he might be a good vesemir with long white hair. remember connery from highlander 1 movie?Sparrowhawk said:
i asked Red on Polish section about scabbards few days ago. i asked if they could make geralt armor with scabbard models accessible. so far there's one Red reply that these models are few iterations older geralt models and for the moment they dont have proper files to make them public. at the end of the post there's usual "this (scabbards) can be done again, the other way around without editing geralt models". i asked about details but no reply yet and i'm afraid the topic will die like other scabbard topics.my idea was to do this nightmarish job i described:
i hope you guys and gals can also make a pressure on Reds in this matter. in neverwinter nights, bioware when asked about some features kept repeating that its impossible to implement and few months later community done it. i can work on this issue but i need something to begin with, i'm not experienced enough to start from the scratch. i need an example to follow.flashintheflesh said:
to defeat fleders in early act 2 buy The Book of the Golden Oriole (scroll) from thaler and make black blood potions. any blood drinker or flesh eater will suffer from this potion.remember: the game is never too hard. when amnesiac witcher is too low level to defeat particular monster, look for proper potion and oil.as soon as you gain silver talents i advise to run for knockdown and stun resistances.
i dont see a reason why it shouldnt. remember that mod might not work if you are already in act 2 and surely wont work if you are in act 3. starting new game is safest way check this mod. anyway, you know how the mod works and what result you expect. if you wont recieve werewolf fur from carmen just add it to your equipment with savegame editor downloaded from this forum.
thank you very much! it's first program which allow to do this and is accessible to normal users.
inventory improvements arent necessary at all but for some they are very comfortable. im running out of inventore space quite often with this mod. running back to inn to store goods seems fun at the beggining, later is just boring. of course if you dont feel the need for changed inventory just deleted the file baseitems.2da from /data/override folder.its normal you are getting wealthy. game is very money demanding up to the moment when you buy better armor. later your income is bigger then potential costs. i can do nothing about it, at least nothing not radical. you should be rewarded for quests after all, its just you dont have a good place to sink your fortune.my economy changes are 5 dice players who risk bigger money. if you didnt noticed it, its because the change is subtle, reasonable and realistic. dice is optional and if you play only to finish poker dice quest, total difference up to act 4 will be around 500 orens which isnt much when this value is divided by number of acts. dice poker is optional and my changes just make a way of earning money again. after AI increase in patch 1.4 many people found poker frustrating and dont play it anymore. now its frustrating but at least you can win something decent
thank you for info.bruxa resistance is set to 0.05, which means they reduce the strength of aard by 95%. guess this 5% is enough to stun. they shouldnt be stun/killed, thats whynew version 1.3 offering big changes is ready to downloaddownload link and ver 1.3 mod description can be found in first post of this topic.
