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.

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
