23 and Act 4? :whatthe: I went to the battle with the Prof and Azar at the Tower with 22 and i have maxed dex at first, then went to 4 in Str. And I did not overdo it with grinding, although i grinded a bit every now and then and I always killed everything, that moves. And I think without grinding i would have ended at around 20 at least at the beginning of Act 3. How did you get through there with such a low lv? And why on earth did you upgrade the group style that much? It is purely defensive and more than 1-2 (weak) opponents are usually a death sentence anyway, especially when fighting monsters. Strong style is paramount imho, then comes the fast style and at last group, which I would not upgrade that much anyway, as said, more than 1-2 opponents are usually are dead geralt.And no, i do not want to run around constantly at the limit with buffs, some weaker opponent I want to smash without heavy buffs, which usually works for me now. And my only upgrades in styles are lv 2 Strong Style each, I just bought the bronze upgrades on each rank in fast and group, each steel and silver. Aside from the prof. i never had major problems, the prof made me bite out a piece of my desk, but well, the anger passed at some point 
Anyway... Attributes are more important than Sword Styles imho, Dex first, then Str/Sta, after that Strong Style, then some points in fast, after that maybe something in group, or start in upping a sign or two, aard being very useful with just the stun upgrade for instance.

I see where you are going with this. Well, if you want to make the game even harder for yourself, you can hardly blame Flash for it, if you get stuck at some point. The reccomendations are all there, where you should put your first points into and which skills / stats should be advanced at first, to survive.But i know what you mean by leftover pots and bombs. I played vanilla on hard and aside from swallow and an occasional seccond buff pot, i hardly used anything, including bombs and oils (aside from Argentia, which I used excessively, the rest, never touched, maybe once) And the downside was, that i had made a good stockpile to draw upon, which was never used then, because it's hardly needed and because in the last acts you can't even go to storage anymore, which I would even declare as a design flaw of the game itself, as there isn't even a warning in that direction.inferno93 said:
The only thing I can do to remedy unused potions issue is to remove them from the game. Personally I find plenty of useful potions but still can't use them because of intoxication. Should I remove intoxication then? It would break game's balance. No easy way to fix it and at this point I'm not looking for another >100h project to improve minor issue.
Flash you forgot to include dialog_10.tlk and dialog_10.backup in the installer. Now a big part of german translation is missing.@german players: in the native zone I gave a hint how you can solve it till the new installer is available.
Hm, I beg to differ, but thats not what I meant. I was going towards the fact that you can make a boatload of different pots and only use maybe 10% of them, useful or otherwise. So for instance, i made around 50 Swallow pots in vanilla to be prepared and never used them all, others I never really used, but your mod made me use quite a lot more pots, so it was definitely a step in the right direction.What I would think about would be the time swallow lasts. I never leave the house without using one of those, it's kind of a "must be" pot to use. While stomping around in the Swamp (either Act2 or 3) there are those funny little guys that explode in acid... so a Bindweed pot is very handy, but then again the tox meter is getting quite uncomfortable, because i have a Swallow pot running and if push comes to shove i have to use a Blizzard pot, which cramps the tox factor further up and then I get hit by a huge vitality drop, which in turn nearly killed me.I think you get the idea... Maybe a little finetuning with a screwdriver, not a club, around the pots, like giving swallow a bit more duration (on par with the food for example, it would make sense imho) and the Tawny Owl less duration, on par with Swallow, but less toxicity. The least used pots a lower tox value, to make them more attractive etc. I'm not talking about Maribor Forest and Full Moon pots, i had Kiss and Willow in mind for instance. Or Wives Tears, the Toxcity of them is a nuisance, nothing more, as all drinking contests are in safe zones, where i can meditate immediately
I think this issue is mod and monitor related. I want to explain my consideration with 2 pics. At some monitors (like mine) the hints are probably out of the visible screen, how you can see at the first pic.Flash said:
(click on it)I think if you would move the hints at the buttom of the loading screens they could be visible for all:
(click on it)But I can't test it, cause I'm not able to handle a dds with normal map
I know you're basically through with this mod, but I had an idea earlier and I thought it doesn't hurt to ask. As I mentioned before, I like that you cannot sell the witcher secrets anymore. How 'bout some kind of reward if you manage to secure all of the scrolls, buy them all, regardless if they're duplicates or triplets, just to get them off the streets (how did they even get there in the first place? Javed short on money? Haha.)? And I don't just say that because I already made it my mission to collect all the scrolls *g*. I don't recall when and where you find the last scrolls, but obviously you'd have to get a reward before the end of the game, end of chapter 4 at the latest. It might be an alternative to getting that headhunter sword without having to kill a guard. Of course I have no clue how much work this would be or if it's at all possible. So just a tentative suggestion.
Now I could test it and unfortunately it won't work. But I think that the hints are on some screens really out of the display.regenschein said:
i was curios too on why these are not appearing :hmmm:all that i could see was a little dark-dark-gray space on the black background under the loading textregenschein said:
WIth some configurations the loading screens are probably like this:
but with others they are out of the display and invisible:
Can't test it cause I have no other monitor but it could be right. I think the only solution is to add the hints directly on the picture.

I think the only solution is to add the hints directly on the picture.I don't have panoramic monitor, can't test it myself. However, if that's the reason for hints are not working, I won't be redoing it. These are heavy files which trippled mod size and a lot of work just for begginers tips. Most of these are obvious, I only did them because there are plenty of players who can't seem to figure out obvious things, like "You don't have to kill everything that moves. If an enemy is not quest related and you can't defeat him, come back later or leave him be."
Flash do you know why the FCR 1.2a is waiting for authorisation such a long time?
Flash, did you not read my last question (post #553) or did you just ignore it? You could say "no way", you know...
The Book of Full Moon only adds the formula for Vampire Oil but not for Full Moon and Shrike although it should contain all three formulae.I think I detected the reason of that issue. There are two utis included for The Book of Full Moon in FCR. One (it_scroll_109.uti) of this adds all three formulae the other (it_scroll_119.uti) only Vampire Oil. Now Thaler sells it_scroll_119.uti but if he would sell it_scroll_109.uti this could solve the problem. I figuered that out with a savegame editor by adding both scrolls. The scroll is also still called 'The Book of the Thunderbolt' in description.
