Quoting: The_Aquabatthanks for the answers I started the game in Blood and Broken Bones.

You can also use a few good mods:

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/339 - more immersive UI (no annoying talk icon on top of NPCs).
https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1458 - quite good exploration mod that allows reaching beyond map barriers, I fixed a few bugs in it related to teleportation.
https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2067 - nice meditation mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1221 - handy equipment UI improvement
https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/3843 (NPC spoiler, but it fixes one otherwise incomplete optional quest, so it's up to you if you want to add it).

You'd need to merge some of them for it to work.

ok ! thanks, good info.


someone uploaded the Witcher's song to spotify disguised as a podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/1dfiRzjtJ1x0jcKBolMaKX?si=0NlOQ1YrT7uSSFbA1521Lg

I think that one has better quality, but I can't check since I can't figure out how to get a spotify_app.key to make spotify ripper script work.

In other news, from PC Gamer

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt presently has more concurrent players on Steam than it had on launch day in 2015, breaking its own record of 92,000 by several thousand players. At the time of this report more than 94,000 people were playing the game according to SteamDB, Steamcharts, and Valve’s own statistics. That puts it ahead of well-established free games like Path of Exile, Warframe, and Team Fortress 2. Further, the two previous games in the series are both in the top 100 games by player count on Steam, with The Witcher: Enhanced Edition at 12,100 and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings at 6,600.

Nah, kayran is a lot harder, one of the hardest fights in TW games. Griffin in the prologue was quite easy for me, and I wasn't using a crossbow.

I don't have Spotify account, and youtube-dl doens't seem to recognize their URL. It's probably with authentication only. I wrote to composers, but so far no response.

@The_Aquabat: Also, fell free to visit the community Wiki if you have some questions about the lore: https://witcher.gamepedia.com/

yeah I was asking if the Griffin would be what the Kayran is to TW2. But no I guess that Kayran is an ACT final boss this is from the prologue.

I figured out a way to get to the peak above Kaer Trolde fortress. It's not that hard.

Start climbing from the place where you can see the boat on the map (south south west from the cursor), and climb up, until reaching the fortress edge:



You'll find the fortress area which can't be reached otherwise:





From there, you can find path up (there are some invisible walls near it):







Continue going up, and you'll get to the axe area from the race:







That's not all though. You can get to the top of the peak:



Birds flying above it in a circle:







View down to the fortress and the sea:

just watched the first episode of the series best thing so far is this quote

Quote“Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.”
