teknoman2 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) i need to see if i can change the FOV because the default makes me feel sick by the way, they really pulled off a miracle of optimization when it comes to memory management in this game according to some tests i ve seen. with everything maxed, it needs less than 2GB VRAM Edited May 25, 2015 by teknoman2 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

Gizmo Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Time doesn't seem to affect quests, so even though everyone tells me "we have to hurry!" I can rest for an hour after every skirmish...That's a shame. Sounds like a predictable, (and unwelcome) side effect of the open world gameplay.

Nonek Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Still no storage in game? For the life of me I can't figure out why they are not implementing this, it directly flies in the face of strategic gameplay and enjoyment of the game. Some have suggested leaving inventory on the floor, stating that it will not disappear, I can however state that this is not true. I needed to reload a save from hours earlier after trying this tactic, incredibly frustrating. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
Gorgon Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Yeah I crafted a lv 16 item at lv 6. Not like I'm going to be carrying a suit of armor around doing nothing in my inventory for that long so I just sold it. Wasted a lot of hard to get stuff there but whatever. 1 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Lexx Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Same issue here. It is possible to clutter up your inventory with gear you can't use until x levels further... And that shait does have some weight... 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Malcador Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Some sort of in-game bank would have helped that. 1 Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Nonek Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) And how exactly is one supposed to know what is useful later in the game? It really is one of the most glaring flaws, and one they had to address in the second game, so why did they not learn from past mistakes and provide storage from the outset? Personally as i've stated before I would have made Roach's saddlebags the storage, on hand and summonable at all times, this would have been a perfectly accessible compromise. As it is Roach's saddlebags adding to Geralt's inventory is both illogical and counterintuitive. Or Yen might simply have given one a magic box in Vizima, that one could use to access a storage chest in her rooms. Or any of a hundred other perfectly reasonable suggestions. Edit: The obvious joke about groping Yen's chest springs to mind, a very Witcher-ish jape, the game must have infected me. Edited May 25, 2015 by Nonek Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

HoonDing Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Great, now my mods will be broken again. Also why bother crafting *anything* when you find something better rather quickly? Edited May 25, 2015 by HoonDing 2 The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Gorgon Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 I'm still using my original silver sword. Also I noticed that you can get exploding bolts for the crosbow. Seems like something you would want a lot of. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

licketysplit Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 The number of baddies the game throws at you all at once is ridiculous. I miss group style.

Nonek Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Letho, I really didn't expect the Viper to be cast aside, an unwise move in my opinion. Edit: Despite all of my criticisms I still think this is so far my game of the year, and possibbly the last few years as well. Strange how I can overlook so many flaws, I don't think i'm overhyped but simply really enjoying myself, and i'd revise my score to maybe a 9 out of 10. However the ending(s) may change that, and the latter portions of the game. Edited May 25, 2015 by Nonek Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

Lexx Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I just thought, maybe the bank to drop your items will be one of the 16 free dlcs (there wasn't a complete list of them, no?)... would make a little sense, even though it's stupid as hell.

Humanoid Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Instead of more storage, I'd have preferred flat out having less available stuff to loot. I guess it comes with the territory of open-world RPGs, but I don't find gameplay systems like that enjoyable at all.I guess I just don't see the point for mundane materials for example being something the player should ever be concerned with. Crafting a sword for example, it's just needless complexity for Geralt to have to go out and supply the iron, the leather, plain old wood: all stuff that'd be trivial for a smith to acquire. Instead why not just have one rare part you need to give the smith, and abstract the rest of it by saying that the smith's fee includes the cost of him providing the mundane stuff. Herbs are trivially common and you trip across them moving one minute in any direction, why bother counting quantities at this point? Rusty swords, wolf livers, etc, I don't think any of that stuff adds any gameplay value. Still very much enjoying the game, just wish there wasn't all the side stuff that seemingly is only there because it's some perceived requirement for a game to be described as "open-world". 4 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

Agreed, and it was basically the system they had in the first game, simple and elegant. Bring a smith a number of rare ores and he will forge the sword you desire, without all of the pointless junk cluttering up ones inventory.
