The Witcher 3

ZiabR

Help me with Runes here guys. For some reason the runes I had in all of my armor and weapons vanished. I did not sell the weapon/armor, remove the runes or disassemble the items. The runes are gone. So I had to replace them all with other ones I had in my inventory. This also happened my brother so it is not just me.

Is there a time limit on runes? Why were they removed and why are they completely gone from my inventory?

Happen anyone else, have I found a bug?

Hahaha class stuff! Saw this on Kotaku



Adding text as it's a bit small

The Defensive Regulatory Magicon (or DRM for short) belongs to the above-mentioned group of the longest-lasting, most effective and hardest to break defensive mechanisms. In order to recognize the individual administering it, it makes use of a portal mounted at the entrance of the area it is to defend. This portal passes streams of magical energy through the body of the person entering and can, in the blink of an eye, determine if this person has the corporeal signature (eyeball structure included) of the entitled administrator. As a result, the only unauthorized individuals that can possibly hope to enter are mimics.

DRM thus makes for an extremely effective and near-unbreakable security measure - but you are in luck, for you hold in your hands the key to bypassing it, namely the present tome, Gottfried’s Omni-opening Grimore, or GOG for short. In the pages to follow you will find innumerable methods for deactivating DRM, or, even better, bypassing it altogether (…)

Location of all Places of Power, Gwent Players and Gwent Card Traders. Super handy for finding them obscure gwent players.

A decision I made a long time ago has really come into effect now. Feel quite bad about the whole thing

Something to do with the entire

Crookback Bog

quest.

Was that when you destroyed the blobby creature under the tree who said the witches were taking the kids....out of laziness I chose to kill him rather than reason with him. I'm looking forward to going back to the bog after discovering Gran is the Blood Baron's wife but first I have to kill this werewolf again this time in the Wild at Heart sidequest

Ya that's it... except I let his spirit free so he'd save the kids.

Just had to pull myself away from the game there. I did a load of stuff tonight. Completed all quests that were close to my level, checked out a load of ? and all of the White Orchard ?s. Just finished the night by beating Stefjan in gwent and got the Yennifer card.

Also got myself a saddlebag from the races which I must say I'm delighted to have now.

Probably won't get much time (if any) tomorrow so glad to have done a load tonight.

Tried the High Stakes Gwent tournament last night just to see what it's like. You need a strong deck (not sure how strong, they guy said mine was strong enough) and 1000 crowns (I think crowns anyway, still not sure about all the currency).

Loooks like you have to play 4 people then the host of the tourney and you have to win them all in a row. I lost the first match and was automatically out. He played 5 Hero cards in the 1st round. Loaded up a previous save, won't try again until I have a better deck.

I never played those so not sure. All I know is I went into a Brothel in Novigrad and ended up playing Gwent for half an hour :pac:

Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy or download this for ps4? American psn store etc is a possibility. I see Argos have it for €62 but out of stock everywhere. Hoping to get it today or tomorrow for the long weekend!

I went into the same place I think, the lady of the house was telling all about the pleasures on offer there, which sounded delightful...

There were options then to get the girls to line up or just get stuck right in.

"Sorry, I'm just here to play cards!"

That gave me a good laugh, but it is true, you cant help sink hours into this very addictive side game. It's classic.

For anyone getting crashes on PS4, a fix will be in the next patch but temp fix below from one of the devs.

PSA for PS4 users: If you encounter CE-34878-o error, please complete the Contract: The Mystery of the Byways Murders from your quest log.

basically, yes!

I definitely see either CDPR releasing it as a standalone or some full mods coming out ala Tabletop Simulator

Two things i learned today

• swipe up on the touch pad for direct access to the map
• press jump as you land to do a roll and avoid fall damage

:eek:

And hold down on the touchpad to take you directly to the inventory.

Hello all,

I am currently moving into a new apartment and the broadband will be some time getting set up (It's Vodafone, after all!) so was wondering would this be a good buy NOW simply because it does not have an online element? Only playing NBA2K15 and BF: Hardline at the moment, so they are both off the table.

Cheers

Bought it from PSN last night, Smyths were sold out and Argos had no copies.

Only got about 30mins in as the d/l didnt complete until about 11pm. Cant wait to get stuck into it this weekend.

Skerries

they are currently releasing patches thick and fast so you won't be able to get them or the DLC that they are slowly rolling out

It is like hearthstone, but better.

If it was me. This would be the absolute perfect game to play with internet downtime. Vodafone can take up to 6 weeks to get up and going from my experience. So I'd use a WiFi hotspot for the moment if it were me. Multiplayer gaming doesn't use much data at all. Updates are the big eater. But to answer your question. Yes, Witcher 3 would be ideal for your situation

Zero-Cool

Agree, it's actually a relief that this SINGLE PLAYER game isn't signing into online servers every 2 minutes to tell them what you're up to in-game.

Noticed that in Blackbough one of the traders in the middle of the town is gone but the little bag icon is still on the map as if he is there but I cant see him. Anyone else noticed this?

Going to buy this tomorrow. Should i just say goodbye to my girlfriend and life in general now? Are people getting sucked into this?

It is easy to get sucked into it alright, but like any big game, take your time. It really is massive so my advice would be to take it easy and enjoy the GOTY, it does not have to be a life zapper!
