Cool.  I like it, but just needs tweaking.  You going to do a Triss and Yennefer?


Yeah I think I,ll probs go Yennefer next... shes probably my fave tbh. I hadnt even intended to do Ciri, just started drawing and found I was heading in that direction.

Still got a tonne of stuff to do with Ciri mind you. Am thinking of adding a forest backdrop with a few crows in there :)

Just a matter of getting time to do it whilst also playing the game and all the other PC goodies out at mo. (Batman & Mad Max im also trying to play thru, whilst raiding in Wow :p)

Next day off I get tho I want to get Ciri done or close to done :)

Can someone explain armor/weapons for me in NG+.  I know you have to get new armor over again since Ursine armor have diff more powerful stats.  You have normal, enhanced, superior, and master crafted.   What is the deal with legendary armor?  Was that in the normal game and I just missed it?  And the armor upgrades you have to find?

Thanks

Legendary armor is in the base game. It was mostly outclassed by the set stuff though so you probably overlooked it. At least for me 90% of the time the legendary stuff I found was inferior to the set stuff I crafted.

I am getting pretty good at Gwent.  Not to hard to beat once you get he hang of it.  So far my 2nd play thru via NG+ is much easier to beat Gwent.

It's all about baiting with the spy cards on your first round.

Ah, ok.  Must have missed it.  I got legendary armor now in NG+ which is better than my master crafted from my first play thru.

Have to be smart on what cards you have as well.  At the beginning of the round, you  get a chance to discard 2 and get 2 more randoms.  If you have a bunch of swordsman and a winter card, get rid of the winter or else it will play against you.  Same goes for if you have a bunch of archers, get rid of fog and if you have a bunch of ballistics, get rid of rain.  Also, when playing against a monster deck, I want winter.  Monster decks seem to play a lot of swordsman which rack up points against you quickly.  Winter will kill that big time.

Also, if someone tosses a weather  card at you and you have a card to clear all weather conditions, DO NOT play it right away and wait until the end of the round.  I had a guy toss 3 diff weather cards at me once and I was way low on points.  This was the final round.  Used my clear weather conditions card at the end and won the game.

The 1.10 patch is out. It includes a lot of changes but it's also a huge file size, more than 10gb (just for the patch) according to galaxy. Mine is telling me it wants to download 20gb worth of stuff. I was expecting a big download for the patch but not quite that big.

If I had to guess I'd say it's downloading the Heart of Stone dlc as well despite the fact that I haven't actually bought it yet.

Annoyed that the Heart of Stone dlc has suck a high level requirement.  I am only level 52 or so and the DLC recommends level 60 something to do the quest.

It's 30 on NG, 60 on NG+.

I started a new NG on DM. Was going to do a DM playthrough on NG+, but console DLC is still broken for NG+.

I haven't played since the 1.10 update that rebalanced Death March, I'm looking forward to getting back into it.

Also I'm not sure why people felt the need to exploit to begin with. My Geralt is only around level 24 or so and I've probably got more money than I'll ever need. Although it is a hilarious way to deal with it.

I still haven't had a chance to get back into the game. Maybe some day...after Fallout 4. I'm thinking at this point I may as well just wait for the second dlc.

Speaking of Fallout 4 it seems that game will be giving the Witcher 3 a good run at game of the year, just going by reviews so far, along with The Phantom Pain.

Everyone says MGV storyline is disappointing and rushed though.

I want to replay Witcher 3 but, then again, I want to replay it with first and second expansions present.

I've had to move recently, which means I packed up my PS4. I haven't unpacked it yet, so I haven't been able to play much of anything lately. I think I'm going to buy Fallout on my way home from work today, and give it a shot. I'm not really a fan of Bethesda games (scaling enemies are a big no-no for me) but I'm a sucker for hype. Reviews have been good and people on GAF seem to be enjoying it, so I'll give it a shot. If I don't like it, my brother is getting an early Christmas present and I'm going back to The Witcher. :laugh:

I love Fallout 4 and I love MGS: TPP but I think The Witcher 3 deserves to be game of the year. Hell, it probably deserves to be game of the decade.

Definitely. With the DLC considered in the overall package it's easily my GOTY, with Bloodborne a strong, but distant, second place.

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.

      Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
