I am under the impression that that screen doesn't update if you keep GOG open.

 

hmmm that can be true, havent tested as I reboot my laptop constantly

 

Is it the same steps for the PS4 version? (I'd check myself, but I'm at work  :pinch: )

 

no idea, i do not own a PS4 :(

The trolls in Witcher 3 are pretty awesome, don't remember them being as funny or easy going in previous instalments.

 

yes, i dont think i ever saw good trolls in any games as in this

I hope they will make the installation process of dlcs on Galaxy easier. On Steam you just check a box. On Galaxy you need to download the exe then "install" it and then you don't even know if the dlc will be updated if there's an update or if you'll need to re-download and re-install again.

 

it is a mess on galaxy.   however licking more... configure.   is the place that shows you what DLC are enabled after the downloads

i agree though, it is confusing, and the DLCs are not organized in an easy to understand and/or find way...

 

hopefully they will work on that. it is only beta.

 

i have a whole bunch of issues with it, but i have my hopes up, as this is the platform, i would prefer to get my all my games from, eventually....

So what is possible after you beat the game? All the main characters gone and no longer appear? I know you can free roam but not sure what all is possible.

 

 

card game quests are there for me, though not all of them, to complete.    fist fights.      i managed to find 2 places that had a notice board, and got 2 very easy contracts out of it.   otherwise, i feel useless. 

i should have completed more quests when i could i guess....

 

 

all scavenger hunts are still there for me.   but what is the point, if i can already kill anything and anyone.... and i don't want more gold.

 

 

 

 

 

i wonder if the character will be transferred to the 2 major expansion packs coming..      if so, i might scavenge around a little but more, to customize my character.

but, again, it is likely to make it too easy, so i guess i will have to max out the difficulty, come the expansion packs...

I completed all the contracts.  One of the first things I did when I visited a new area was go to the contract boards.  Got an acheivement for completing all the contracts.  Did all the horse races, all the qwent tasks.  Found all the ? areas.  Did all this before I beat the game.  I like to get my moneys worth for a $60 game

They've been working on that in paralell with Witcher 3, so they could easily start on a new witcher right now, staggered releases.

 

it makes sense as well at the start of the project it's a lot of art asset work, then at the end it switches to more coding while the art is mostly tidying and level building. That means if they work on two games at the same that are shifted halfway from each other in release time, they can keep most of the dev team on without firing people inbetween projects. 

 

So I would expect them to have another project on the line, since they already expanded their team to start on cyberpunk, as for what the witcher team will be working on, a 4th or a completely new game... who knows.

i am not sure where i got this info from, as i browse a lot of sites sometimes...    but i am pretty sure the cyberpunk was more or less on hold, waiting for w3 to be released.

 

they most likely dedicated significant resourses to it now, but there is still a matter of 2 expansion packs coming, that i am sure keeping some of the team busy.

 

 

 

personally, as much as i would love to see w4 soon, i prefer they only focus on 1 major game (like they did with w3)

Anyone have any good strategies for playing against a Monster deck? The deck the woman blacksmith in Crow's Perch plays with is complete bullsh--.

 

Spy cards, if you have any, Scorch, and the frozen land card, 2 or 3 of them if you can manage.

 

Use your spy cards to bait as much as you can from them in the first round. It usually doesn't matter if you win or lose it as long as you have more cards in your hand for the second round.

So this was probably super obvious to everyone except for me, but if you are playing on the PS4 and you want the free DLC that CDPR has been releasing, just claim them in the store.

 

I was looking through the menus and in game NPCs, and couldn't find anything, and I don't know why I didn't think to check the store. I was poking around the store today, and I noticed all of them under Wild Hunt "Add-ons". (Y)

 

I still don't know how to GET them in the game, but at least I know where to download them. lol  :laugh:  :s

So I was playing a bit this morning before work (I'm not a morning person, but I've been waking up a little early the last week or so to play this more, that's how much I am enjoying this game) and I attempted to finish the "Defending the Faith" quest. Spoilers below, but I am confused about the outcome of the quest.

 

I helped the old woman fix the first statue and got the quest. I eventually made it to the last statue, and that's where you run into the group of "students" tipping them over. You're given a choice to not interfere (like a Witcher would really do) or stop them; in which case you have to fist-fight all four. Now, on my first attempt (after fixing 2/3 statues) I decided not to interfere but then the quest gets a failed status instead of completed. Why does this happen? Is there a way to not interfere but also complete the quest successfully? I reloaded my previous save and chose the "stop them" option, just so I could complete the quest but it's kind of annoying I couldn't act like a 

real witcher. Any one else run into this?

yeah it is a bummer.   there is no way to complete the quest without fighting them, as far as i know.. though according to the quest log, it says in a jokey way

that it ends with a brawl "as is often the case with students" when talking about worldviews,

and not that it ended with 4 dead men at the hands of Geralt.  

 

so I assume he just beat them up, not really killed them.

 

still, weird quest. i would have expected him to use axii.   or fight in a brawl where it shows them backing off, not die.

Yeah I did read the completed quest text.

 

I definitely got the impression that he just beat them up, but didn't kill them. Which is fine I guess. Axii would have been a logical choice, like you said. I'm not sure why it wasn't an option in the dialogue...though I did use it on them 

during the fight to make them beat each other up.  :shifty:

It is a checkbox on Galaxy as well. Maybe you're looking at the wrong page.

 

i still have plenty quests to do but i will miss the story line

 

Can you continue playing after you finish the main storyline?

I'm pretty sure you can. I haven't made it that far yet, stopped playing because apparently the 1.07 patch is gonna be big and add some new features. They hinted it would (finally) add a loot stash among other things.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

      UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.
