Can I just say, this is the game I've always wanted The Witcher to be
Kinda like Zelda to Dark Souls back then

Think I'm gonna call time on my attempt to get the flame sword on the highest difficulty 😑
Ready to start the game properly now. Bit weird that the Drow race bonus shows up on the characteristics list before it actually applies.

I'm technically on my second character and I'm blown away by the amount of new shit that's happening to me.
It could be just the difference between Early Access and the full release I dunno
Yeah, there's some big changes from Early to Full in act 1.
Those spiders in the cave are still huge dicks though.

Shadowheart's spells seem pretty nice for level 1
I'm going to want every companion in the party aren't I? 😒

Please always run with Speak with Animals its so fucking funny
I'm going drow druid so get that by default afaik
Feel the HDR isn't working properly in the opening area, all the blues, purples and black look like they're blurring into one another the same way they do in dark scenes on low quality videos. Stopped playing when I reached the area after but it looks fine there.
If it's a problem in every location with low light I'll just turn HDR off.
Wonder if the mind flayer has the AI to move away from the demon if you Entangle him

Drow druid represent, there are dozens of us.
HDR is pretty spot on by default, at least on PC, so it's probably something on your end, if it doesn't look right.

That Shillelagh cantrip sounds pretty great as a bonus action.
Lasts ten turns, raises your minimum damage and uses spellcrafting stats instead of physical ones so you're presumably free to build into magic and still do decent damage with normal attacks
Still find a bit odd that staffs are essentially unrelated to magic use, I thought they'd act like wands and staffs in the Souls games.
Is there a way to see what enemies have what loot before killing them? Thought examining the demon commander would show how sword as a drop but it doesn't.

Shillelagh is cool in theory, in practice I haven't found much use for it past the first couple of level-ups. It might depend on what kind of druid you want to be - I'm either spellcasting or morphing 99% of the time, which has you dealing a fair bit more damage. As a last-ish resort tho, sure.
As for what loot enemies carry ... trying to steal from them will show you some of the stuff they have. Don't think there's any other way.

Anyone got any tips for quickly making tidy radial menus? I don't want things to be added automatically when there's no way to set them to go in the correct dial, and doing it manually is enough of a pain in the arse that I'm very rarely going to use the single-use items as it stands.
Right now I've generally got Actions-Spells-Bonus Actions and Consumables but I'm rapidly running out of room for that now I'm level 3. Even if it goes against D&D, I think I'd prefer a shared inventory.
Trailing companions running into AoE damage on the ground is pretty fucking annoying, and splitting everyone up to get through one-by-one is a bad workaround. Also, is there a use for backpacks and pouches besides tidying up the inventory menu? Would be nice if you could set one of them to recieve everything that you mark as a Ware.

By Lupercal Go To PostYou killed the cub?Killed the mother but left the cub alive.
You monster!
Then the cub started cannibalising it's own parent.
Larian you sick fucks.
Yes L2+triangle to split and L2+square to group
Edit:
Immense competence. Controls so well on consoles too

I have a heartbeat noise glitch that is making the game genuinely unplayable, and it's applied to all saves. Think it's something to do with Shadowheart wrongly giving me her artefact when I told her to wait at the camp.
edit: hard rebooting the game has fixed it

Currently getting my arse handed to me by the harpies as I desperately try to hit level 4 so I can do Karlach's quest and the swamp
By Lupercal Go To PostYou killed the cub?.

This Dark Urge playthrough is great though, fighting the urge to kill anyone who gives me a hint of lip is something.
I might've gone to murderous in the start I think.

I have no idea where I am
I am out of everything
But its too late to back down.
Lae'zel, Karlach, Astarion...I'm sorry

Might move it down to Balanced, getting a bit annoyed with encounters taking ages, and being basically forced to save-scum by not knowing what kind of resistances and abilities enemies will have until the fight has already started and I can't switch my spells.
Currently in the Underdark working for some mushroom freaks, hope coming down here doesn't fuck up the questline that took me to the elevator.

By NiceGuy Go To PostTIL Turn Undead is fucking uselessYou are doing something wrong lmao
8 zombies caught by it, only one of the little cunts turns
Yeah fr. Turn Undead + Spirit Guardians carries through the entire game. Straight up deleted a boss in Act 2 for me.
It and Goading Roar seem to have a flat 35% hit rate on Tactician, not seen a way yet to get that up since it ignores Advantage and Disadvantage as far as I can tell. Maybe I'm missing something that buffs it.
Starting to get some good mobility items on Astarian but not sure if he really needs them. Might be better on Lae'zel though since he's already got abilities to get around.
Could've done with my Disadvantageous terrain ring before I did the swamp 😑

You absolutely can't get to my other two characters

Probably not optimal but it was so funny
Edit: kept the boots with Click Heels 😁

Look for that Legendary Mace in the Monastery.
I'm 10 hours into this game and only just starting the Emerald Grove quests. Done essentially nothing so far other than meet new companies, talk to NPCs and battle a few times.
Loving it.

Btw if your textures stop loading just restart your ps5 (standby doesnt count) I've played like 10 hours with a vaseline filter 🤦
I'll post this separately so Cleff doesn't accidentally read it if he quotes me or something
Act 1 ending ? is this an either or situation? I'm absolutely going to help Lae'zel regardless tbh because I'm invested even though the other choice seems easier. Which is also why I don't wanna take the lift tbh lol. Shadowheart's story is unfortunately very interesting too and seems heavily tied to what am doing, so she's in my party instead of the vampire gigolo. He's so charming and powerful but I dunno about his story. This is mostly how I'm forming my parties, based on my level of interest in their interactions 😁 fuck balance I'll make it work
Lupercal if you spoil the location of another weapon I'll shank you in your sleep GHAIK

Yurt I did both. Just fast traveled from underdark back to the mountain trail once I'd cleaned the place out. The absolute point of no return is the point where you go from the underdark/mountain trail into the cursed forest. You'll be made aware through a notification to wrap things up as you reach the new transition point.
