    Easy there fella this ain't Skyrim .......

    Witcher 4: A Missed Opportunity

    I think making Ciri become a Witcher can make perfect sense. To me it would make perfect sense for Ciri to lose her Elder Blood abilities when she destroyed the White Frost. In the two Epilogues that Ciri appears in there is no hint of Elder Blood powers anymore, especially the one where she...

    Is it true that TW4 is aimed at new players?

    It said it was "aiming for" NOT "aimed at" new players ..... There is a difference. Trying to grow your audience is how you create and maintain success. I suspect what they also mean is people won't have to play any of the earlier trilogy to jump in and have fun with Witcher 4. I think the same...

    Just reset it!

    I repeat what I said about Cyberpunk 2077 when it was announced to be first person. Making a character creator in a 1st person game where 95% of the time you never see yourself is a complete waste of my time. I didn't think Cyberpunk's story was anywhere nearly as compelling as the Witcher...

    Just reset it!

    The problem with create your own character games is the story is about as deep as a mud puddle. You have wildly divergent character classes so you have to write generic nonsense so the story can fit every single one of the wildly divergent character classes. As alluded to by someone else just...

    The Witcher IV — Cinematic Reveal Trailer

    I like her design for instance now she has Witcher eyes and a more mature face, she's not a teenage girl anymore but a hardened warrior/Witcher. I also like her clothing which look legit Witcher and not some silly looking out of place costume that show off her breasts. I didn't really like any...

    The Witcher IV — Cinematic Reveal Trailer

    Looks to me like the trailer has the typical Witcher choices ..... and neither choice is a good one. If you kill the monster the girl dies and if you don't kill the monster something even worse happens to everyone. It looks to be laid out a lot like the Bald Mountain quest where Ciri kills two...

    The Witcher IV — Cinematic Reveal Trailer

    I love how people spout "canon but canon" and then go on to romance Triss instead of Yennifer which is definitely not canon in the books. Romancing Yennifer is canon, romancing Triss is not. Can't wait to hear all the lame excuses as to why romancing Triss is OK ........

    The Witcher IV — Cinematic Reveal Trailer

    She is a Child of the Elder Blood, the Lady of Time and Space so she can probably do a lot of things that weren't thought possible because she already could do things that weren't thought possible. And who knows what kind of changes came from when she entered the tower after the fight against...

    Would you be okay with Witcher 4 having only 1 difficulty setting?

    No I would not like that ..... These are narrative driven games and Dark Souls' narrative is about as deep as a mud puddle. That's OK for a combat focused game but Witcher games are much more than that

    The witcher 3 next-gen ray tracing performance issue: unnecessary use of large amount of shared vram causing FPS drop

    I don't think there is going to be a "next patch" since it's been over 8 months since the 4.04 patch ..... This looks to be as good as it ever is going to get

    Ray tracing issues

    Could be a CPU issue, the threading is still utter garbage in this game and especially in Novigrad you'll be severely CPU bottlenecked because it's trying to run everything on one or two threads. This is a problem only the developers can fix because we don't have access to the game engine's...

    Demand for The Witcher 3 NG++

    I find you get better results if you request something rather than demand it ...... I don't know about you but when someone demands I do something they usually get a middle finger in their face unless it is law enforcement

    Game crashes when I equip something

    I didn't have this problem until I started using Frame Generation but I've found that after making or upgrading an armor set that if I go to another cell or area of the game before I put the armor on or add additional runes if I'm already wearing the armor then I don't crash. If I do it at the...

    Saved games not appearing.

    This is a problem with the latest Steam update not the game itself .... GOG versions are just fine

    *Spoilers I guess?* Ghosts of the Past console name? Trying to "fix" a problem.

    The only sure way to get Letho is when you start a new game choose to be asked questions by Morvran Voorhis at Vizima instead of importing a save and then answer the questions they way you played Witcher 2 or in fact any way you want. He asks you 5 questions Whether or not you killed Arjan...

    Witcher 3 NG Ray Tracing - GPU PCI-E Bus / VRAM Overload cause of FPS drop/stuttering issue - FIX'ed!

    Nvidia already has good VRAM management and also a suite of tools for VRAM management that covers textures, meshes and Ray Tracing The problem is these tools aren't properly being used by CDPR to optimize graphics memory ..... Cyberpunk is proof of that because there they do use these tools...

    We're working on an editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!

    What changed? The Red Engine is now officially retired with the release of Phantom Liberty would be my educated guess.

    I can't even DOWNLOAD patch 4.04 ? :/ (GOG Galaxy)

    Just uninstall the game and then reinstall it. It won't touch any of your saves or your user and profile settings so when you reinstall it should save most of your game settings if not all of them so you should be able to just start it up and play from where you left off. The reason you need so...

    We're working on an editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!

    Likely PC only because the PC version has a compile at runtime scripting engine that senses when changes are made and then recompiles the scripts. The console version likely have the scripts "pre-baked" and they can't be easily changed. When they added all the PC mods to Next Gen that wasn't for...
