food only way to heal?

I meditated 12h and my health did not heal.. is eating the only way? if so, that is a pain in the butt

If you are on the harder levels meditation does not heal you.

 

[johnblah1231]

yes - its dependent on difficulty - on medium you heal when meditatiing

 

[Analikital]

Potions and food regens health, but not actual healing potion, also in harder dif meditation doesn't regen your health.

death march aka buy all the foood !!!!

It feels a bit weird, I mean, I'm not an expert on lore, but aren't witchers supposed to heal at a fast rate than humans ? Playing on hardest difficulty at the moment, I have no real issues with how the health works, but from a lore POV it seems out of place. A really slow health regeneration as time passes would make sense IMO

fall damage is right straight stupid too.. fall 4 feet? half dead, mr. upgraded superior mutant

Im all for hardcore, playing death march and I dont like that only food heals you. Add some perks or enchantments that allow slow but passive regen

There's an ability in the "General" bucket that lets you regen 10 vitality per second even on "hard". Considering getting it as using food all the time will likely get rather old especially considering you can't even use the food from the inventory menu.

What is the cheapest way to heal (on hardest)?
using Swallow potion + meditate to replenish (consume alcohol)
vs
buying food

 

[Matroska]

Maybe it could be improved by letting meditating heal you up to 50% health or so, not all the way, on thte 2nd hardest setting, and leaving it as it is on the hardest.

I'm playing on 2nd hardest difficulty, and Geralt gains health passively at a very slow rate. So not just food heals Geralt.

Yes you can. I'm on PC and you click on food in menu then press e.

Pure silliness. There's plenty of food out in the wilds, just hunt it down. Deer and wolves are the best sources.
