Yeah, sometimes my entire gaming session would consist of playing with various PC mods to take some nice screenshots.






I can't think of another game from the last decade that was so visually stunning and well-optimized for PC.

There have been a lot more mods developed since last year (back then there were just sweetfx/reshade mods). I may do another playthrough with some of the newer mods. Texture/draw distance/LOD enhancements and gameplay and GUI improvements. I noticed there's one that lets you fast travel without needing to visit a sign post, and another that gives you slots so you can use all skills at the same time.

Really should have been that way already. I rarely use them though. I like to travel around and look at the world.

Reading through this thread for the first time. Sounds like a lot of people sucked at fighting when it first came out I never had any trouble with the battle system. Only time I died more then a couple times was one of the noonwraith contracts because I was over agressive and attacking when it was immaterial

It can be kind of a pain traversing with Roach. It can be glitchy too.

I've had bugs with three of the witcher contracts. Hopefully they come out with a patch to fix it or something.

Other than that the game is stunning.

Just pulled the trigger and bought this plus the expansion pass


Gonna be good. Witcher 2 was one of my favorite games ever.

This thread is about 65 pages longer than the Witcher 2 thread which was basically myself Carson audodger dourden and sbr2

The human enemies are insanely easy because they rarely attack. The beasts usually have a pattern or a weak point to exploit. Some of them are just a pain in the arse like getting swarmed by drowners.

I wish I had contributed more to this thread when the game released last year. It's one of those I wish I could go back and play for the first time again.

The one thing about this game is that the challenge wasn't that big on the fighting IMO. I had to crank up the difficulty for it to even resemble a challenge. At first I was clumsy but when I invested points and got the groove I was basically unstoppable. I could even kill monsters that had the skull above their health bar more often than not if I was persistent.

That said, it's still one of my all-time favorite games.

It looks great on PS4 and I wonder how much better it would look on PC for me. I don't think it would matter though. I know I can't run it on max settings.

Even if you can't max it out, you can run reshade mods and get the effect in my screenshots above. I forget what GPU you have though.
