The Witcher 3

[Lint]

What difficulty? I've found on the difficulty I play on (can't remember...), I've tried to use my steel sword against monsters, and my silver sword against humans, and he always switches to the right one

[FLiam]

I play on the second/third highest usually.

Maybe that could be why then in that case.

[ZJ Penn]

I don't think I've had any problems. Geralt always seems to pick the right one and sheath it as soon as combat is over.

I thought I'd take an hour before going to bed to do the next mission on my list (Family Matters). Nearly three hours later and it still isn't over.

[apsham]

Oh that baby keeps going and going and branches into other longer ones, haha.

[ZJ Penn]

Yeah it's nuts. I left it unfinished in the end when I thought it was finally over, but it carried on and told me I needed to travel to the other side of Velen.

I'll try and get it done tonight.

Just seen the Monty Python easter egg with the Rabbit of Caerbannog

[Cactus Drags]

I had that feeling for a moment, also after leaving White Orchard. I'd recommend just ploughing through the story till you're about level 7. Since then I've been picking up quests organically and have a lot of side stuff to do either at or below my level.

Ah, maybe I'm just doing it wrong. With this sort of game (I did it quite well with Amalur) I tend to clean up an area then steamroll the main story.

Just got the Temerian DLC armour, so I shouldn't be quite so squishy now too.

[Your Mom]

Theres DLC armor?

[apsham]

Every Wednesday for a couple of months free DLC goes up in the store, and yeah - the first week there was a set of armor. Granted you had to get the plans and craft it but still pretty neat. There's also beard/hairstyle stuff, an alternative look for Yenn and a new mission.

[Your Mom]

I never even looked for that stuff!

No you don't, you can just buy it from a merchant in White Orchard.

[apsham]

Oh you can? I was just going off what I had heard. By the time I remembered the DLC I was already equipped with Enhanced Feline School armour so it was a moot point.

[ZJ Penn]

I really like how varied these missions are. I put in a solid 2/3 hours last night and didn't have to fight anything. Whereas I've had sessions that have been one long dungeon. Or spent a while completing a treasure hunt then crafting the armor/weapon.

I don't know, it's just interesting that I'm sitting with the intention of 'right I'm going to sit and complete this contract/beat this mission' etc rather than the usual 'I'm going to play this and do aimless stuff'.

[DavidMarrio]

Nithral is an annoying cunt.

[apsham]

But super badass.

Screw you, I am going everywhere to unlit everyone's candles because they keep telling me mean names

[apsham]

Nothing better than force blasting a bunch of candles out at once. Take that, peasant.

[Maxx]

Its amazing how mouthy people get at a guy who is widely acknowledged to be a genetically enhanced instrument of destruction.
