    Another remaster? Wasn’t it updated already?

    This is great support from the creators! Looking forward to it.

      This is in promotional budget for W4, which while explains the generosity, doesn’t make it less cool.

    There goes my modded save file 🥲

    I hope I find a way to transfer it to this and the new dlc. Now to finish the game before Sep 29 in case I don’t…

    This is awesome. I’m in my first playthrough and I’m enjoying it. It’s kind of a boring game so far vs what I normally play, so I do a couple quests, and then play another game. Not because I don’t like TW3, but because it’s not very exciting. I find it well written, just not very well paced. Visuals won’t help with that, but maybe some fine tuning will make it go a little smoother? I dunno. I don’t hate it or anything.

      The game is notorious for having a slow, boring start and it’s a turn-off for many. Not sure why, but white orchard always feels like a slog. It usually clicks ( it might not for you, but it usually does ) 10-ish hours in, once you get deeper into velen/novigrad.

        White Orchard was fine. I dreaded the boss fight because my brother-in-law had a hard time with it. (I later learned he was playing on the highest difficulty.) So I did everything else I could. I may have missed things — everyone knows the Witcher games are full of details people tend to miss. Only thing I didn’t do that I know I could was kill cows to summon the secret boss. Not messing with that.

        I’m in the next area. It let me choose the area. I chose the one with the lowest level. I’ve done what I think is a main quest (with the butcher/baron?) and I’ve moved on from that. I think I’m following his next lead on Ciri. It’s led me to a city they said I needed a pass to enter via the bridge. I swam across, zero consequences. Later got a pass by doing a side quest.

          Yeah, the game should be wide open for you now. This region is the meat and potatoes for the main quest

        … When does it get better? Ice zone, or even later?

        I may have to give it another go at some point.

          Ice zone? If it’s the one I think and you still don’t enjoy it you may want to put it down. It’s not gonna get more enjoyable.

        Idk, the first time i play i like everything up until Novigrad, somehow the game grind to a stop and i have to slog through it and get to Skellige. I’ll have to play another time for the DLC and see if my opinion change or not.

      This is my favorite game ever, I’m sorry you’re finding it boring and slow paced. There’s so many little things to discover. I have more hours and more playthroughs into it than I’d like to admit.

          It’s very long if you take the time to explore the whole map and do all the side quests, but the main quest is leveled so that you don’t have to do most of the side quests if you don’t want to, unlike some games where you kind of have to do most of the side quests in order to level up enough to keep up with the required level for the main quest. If you do choose to side quest you can be way overpowered and breeze through the main quest line with no problem.

          I’m working on a playthrough right now and I’m less than halfway through and I’ve only done maybe 1/3 or less of the side quests so far and I’m already 7 levels above where the main quest wants me to be.

          I think it’s worth it because I love the world, the characters, and the story, but every nerd has their special fandom and the Witcher is mine.
