Thanks for a review!
1. Can you please be more specific and tell as much as you noticed on how Hard difficulty affect gameplay? (more ingredient for potion, more foes e.t.c)
2. Can your horse, Roach, die in combat?
3. I read you have not to play W1 but is there any chance you have info on do W1 choices have influence in W3?

Hail fellow Knight-Pedant ! You must be fresh out of the cloister to still display hypersensitivity to the idle speech patterns of those too young & reckless to know better.Thanks for the review. I wish I could read it, but as an English teacher I just can't stand reading articles with "u" and "ur" in it. No offence to the author, I appreciate the effort!
Welcome, you'll likely fit right in here, just remember lynchings are by invitation only.
I think u can. i dnt recall trying it.
I understand brother. I apologize. I will make the corrections right away. It was a lengthy post. So I lost my patience mid way.Thanks for the review. I wish I could read it, but as an English teacher I just can't stand reading articles with "u" and "ur" in it
I corrected as many mistakes as I could find.Thanks for the review. I wish I could read it, but as an English teacher I just can't stand reading articles with "u" and "ur" in it
Sorry if some went unnoticed.1. Hard difficulty somehow makes the AI smarter I think. The monsters are harder to hit, they start dodging Geralt and attack smartly. You also stop regaining your health automatically. Higher the difficulty, higher is the skill and preparation required by Geralt. As far as I see it, Hit points remain the same, only the damage done, decreases a little.
2. Well, up until now, mine has never died. It either runs away or starts kicking using its hind legs. That kicking actually causes damage!
3. I don't think there is any way in which W1 affects W3.
It might also mean, I have no idea which character you are talking about.Damn!
But that could mean that you actually met her
Thanks brother!
Thank you for this review, ArRam , it actually stopped me from cancelling my pre-order and made me excited for the game again.
I am looking forward to the third part.

How often did you stumble upon weird, maybe a bit unpolished things? I noticed during one of the videos that you are able to loot stuff with Ciri - though she does not have an inventory. You click loot, and then the loot just disappears... One of the reviewers mentioned a quest where some people get killed and then the villagers are mourning the dead like forever right in the center of the village.
You wont regret it brother. Do not pay heed to the downgrade stuff. It really doesn't matter for a game like this. You will enjoy it nonetheless.Thank you for this review, ArRam , it actually stopped me from cancelling my pre-order and made me excited for the game again.

Dont know about what the reviewer said. But I can assure you that the glitches and bugs are very tiny ones. I actually have no right to judge the game based on it as it has not been released yet. A day one patch is going to address a lot of bugs.
Also I am not aware about how loot works with Ciri. I have not tried it.
Thank you! No need to apologize, I am the only one to blame for my OCD when it comes to these things
. Your review is really well written and I appreciate the honesty in it. Thanks again!I have not progressed into the story that much as of now. I am only wandering and doing a few side quests. Majority of my time I just walk around and save screenshots.
But as far as I have played, it has managed to remain challenging. Also keep in mind that you can still be beaten by monsters lower than your level if you are not careful (hard difficulty).
On the similar note, I would like to add that, the real challenge of witcher 3 lies not in combat, but in decision making, be it the main story or the side quests. This is my personal opinion by the way.
I find the downgrade dishonest, but it does not bother me. These things however do bother me:
- loot scaling (especially the recent change of scaling it down to character level... terrible idea)
- immersion-breaking Gwent which is nothing like in the books (Geralt playing with cards depicting people he knows - seriously?)
- Geralt being able to fight monsters in heavy armour, which would make him too slow to counter their supernatural speed
But it seems I might be able to ignore these flaws if the game is overall as good as you say. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for that, I am going to play on hard also, so this has me less worried! Thanks for the review great opinions, right I'm going dark again......
CDPR has addressed the downgrade debate very recently. You might want to check that out.
Gwent is actually a pretty decent game. Gwent was meant for the players, not for Geralt as a character. In my opinion it isn't immersion breaking at all. You might change your opinion once you play a few rounds of the game.
Geralt's armour affects his speed in real. Also we need to keep in mind that Geralt is trained to be a supernatural being as well. He's a mutant, not the everyday human being.
All these flaws (if they actually are flaws for you), I am sure you will over look once you start playing!
