    Should i install W3EE redux for first playthrough or go for vanilla?

    I just started the game a bit ago and i have hear a number of people saying that w3ee fixes the gameplay and is overall better than vanilla but i have also read that it fundamentally changes the game. Im not sure which one to play? I would hate to be 100hrs into a playthrough and regret my choise honestly lol

    Can't romance Triss as much as I like her

    I never read the books so I don't care about Geralt and Yennefer story and things like that, I make choices based on my view of the character. Thing is, even though I like Triss more, Yennefer is so funny and she seems so heartbroken when you tell her you don't love her, I can't avoid picking her. Her damn puppy eyes break me every time.

    Geralt was incredibly reckless in Moreau's lab

    I know it's only a game, but Geralt enters Moreau's lab and finds out he set out to cure Witcher mutations, but ended up making them stronger.

    Geralt then blindly goes under the experiment on his own without supervision, hoping they work exactly the same on him. But perhaps the other Witcher was different.

    Imagine if they worked as intended and Geralt walked out a normal human, striped of his mutations.

    Ginter de Lavirac

    Is there anyone here who can tell me who the voice actor is that plays Ginter de Lavirac in the UK/American version of the game??

    His voice is exceptionally familiar for some reason and it's driving me crazy trying to work it out - however, the only actor I can find credited for this character is for the Polish/Russian version.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    [Help PS5] Bought The Witcher 3 Expansion Pass, but DLCs (Blood and Wine & Hearts of Stone) aren’t available to download

    Hey everyone,

    I’m having a frustrating issue with The Witcher 3 on PS5 and could really use some advice. Here’s the situation:

    • I have The Witcher 3 through my PS+ subscription (I didn’t buy the base game).
    • I decided to buy the Expansion Pass for the game, which should includes the Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone DLCs.
    • The pass shows as "purchased" in the PlayStation Store, but I can’t find any option to download the actual DLC content.

    Here’s what’s going on:

    • Both DLCs are still listed in the store with prices, and when I click on them, it wants me to pay again.
    • I checked my transaction history, and the purchase for the expansion pass is there.
    • In my library, there’s no separate add-on or DLC section for The Witcher 3. I only see the base game and nothing related to the DLCs.
    • The expansion pass itself is only 9.2 MB, so it seems like it’s just acting as a license, not the actual content.

    Troubleshooting I’ve Tried So Far:

    1. Updated the system software.
    2. Made sure The Witcher 3 game is fully updated.
    3. Restored licenses.
    4. Deleted the game and reinstalled it, along with the expansion pass.
    5. Checked my account’s purchase history to confirm the pass was bought.
    6. Looked in the in-game menu for any downloadable content options – nothing there.
    7. Restarted the console multiple times.

    No luck with any of these steps. I also checked the PS Store from both my console and the web, but I can’t find a way to download the DLCs.

    If anyone has had a similar experience or knows how to resolve it, I’d love to hear from you. Thanks you all

    What enemies have armor?

    It’s hard to find a definitive answer for this. Regarding the Melt Armor ability, how many enemies actually have armor? Is it as obvious as if they visually do, like an exoskeleton or thick hide, or is it just humans and non-humans with actual armor, or is it a basic stat that all enemies have?

    Igni is integral to my fire & ice build but I don’t wanna waste a spot on something that isn’t very useful.

    returning player after a looooong time

    Hey all, It has been a while since playing this game came out so I forgot almost everything this game has to offer. (im talking several years of not playing this). I'm also not a person to youtube/google everything bc that spoils alot for me.

    Im struggling to make coin at the moment. And alot has changed since the release of this gem. Im amazed by it how good it has become. Even if it has some flawes/glitches and/or bugs.

    How do you make coin in this game? I loot everything but I can only carry 60kg of stuff with me.Im only lvl 4 at the moment and im playing as Ciri who is saving a little girl.

    Any tips/advice?

    As always, With kind regards,

    Another amazing game finished

    That was quite a game. I'm not usually fan of rpg games but Witcher 3 is amazing. I remember asking when I first bought the game is it worth it. I can definitely say yes. Thinking of picking the dlc's some time later.

    Anyone know the console commands to change the outcome of "Warble of a smitten Knight?

    I chose the Ravix of Fourhorns title, unaware every NPC will now call me by that name. Id rather use the Geralt title, but I've no idea how to change that as I need the quest state IDs, I think?

    Anyone able to help a fellow out?

    Madman Lugos refusing to play gwent!

    Hi guys, looked online but no one seems to have the same problem as me. I’m doing the gwent quest right now in Skellige, and I’ve just completed kings gambit. And when I go to play gwent with Lugos as he’s the last one on the list, he refuses to play Gwent with me and tells me to fuck off.. how can I fix this? Anyone have this problem before? Thanks!

    Correct order for finishing the game? (DLCs)

    So I’m on my very first playthrough of Witcher 3, I bought the Complete Edition for Switch and have been LOVING it!

    However, I’m wondering what y’all did or if there’s a best/correct way for finishing the quests? I was around level 25 when I got to the final step of the base game main quest line, but then got sidetracked with the Toad Prince & Toussaint & all the other badass DLC stuff. Should I go back and finish the whole Ciri/Wild Hunt/Kaer Morhen quest line before I go any further with DLC content? Should I finish the Hearts of Stone main quest with GoD and all that before finishing the Toussaint stuff? Does it even matter?

    I’m currently level 35 and I think I might have messed it up for myself, like if I go back and finish the main quest I’m gonna be way over leveled and it’ll be too easy. Or does it scale with me? In my quest log the main quest says it’s a level 22 quest. I’d appreciate any tips or help!

    Witcher armor bonuses in NG+

    Hi all, quick question - do bonuses from Grandmaster Witcher armor sets carry over to New Game+?

    I know that in New Game plus witcher armors have to be upgraded again to legendary level, will I have to upgrade to Legendary Grandmaster to receive the bonuses for 3/6 pieces of armor, or will they be available all the time since the start of New Game+?

    Thx

    What are some of the choices that you pick always?

    I played this game way more than once, and though I have a set of my personal perfect choices, I like to make different choices to get different outcomes and see different scenes, such as:

    • romance Triss/Yen
    • support Cerys/Hjalmar
    • Ciri witcher/emperess
    • side with Roche/Dijkstra/don’t kill Radovid
    • different endings for B&W

    Etc etc

    However there are some of the choices which I just can’t force myself changing and always pick the same, because the other option is just too bad for me. For example:

    • Baron always lives
    • Keira is always sent to Kaer Morhen
    • Ciri never “dies” (or whatever happens to her in bad ending)
    • never “sell” Ciri (well, is there anyone who does it?)
    • Olgierd always lives

    As for “smaller” ones:

    • always use Guillaume to lift curse from Vivienne (they are just so cute together, and I don’t want her to live only 7 years)
    • always take the rose from Iris so that she can rest in peace
    • lift the curse from Baron’s unborn child instead of killing it
    • never take reward the in the quests where there is an option to refuse it (usually when the quest giver is too poor or has too sad story)

    So it will be interesting to know whether you have any choices like this and way?

    Why is The Witcher 3 the best game of all time?

    Many say that TW is the best game in history (including myself), but have you ever stopped to think why? Yes, the story is beautiful and incredible, but is it really the best story in games? I think not. I love the gameplay and the possibility of creating various skills for our character, but sometimes I find the gameplay a bit clunky. I'm Brazilian, and the game's dubbing in my language isn't the best, and let's face it, the game has many repeated NPCs, which can be comedic at times. But even with all these issues, TW is the best game ever made, at least for me. The game is so incredible (I'm not exactly sure why) that these problems become nothing. And what about you? Why is The Witcher 3 the best game ever made?

    Puss-Peepers

    I skipped this quest four times cuz I hated her so much. I don’t think Geralt would have bothered either. Nobody calls Geralt puss-peppers.

    Does anyone has this problem too?

    English: it says on the top that the blacksmith is top tier, but on the bottom it says that this sword needs a top tier and this npc cannot crate it.

    If you were to create an expansion on Witcher 3 featuring a new location/province

    What would it be? What kind of landscapes, setting and such? Curious about your idea!
