Had an issue with my PC. Only option I had was to reformatt Hard Drive. All my steam saves are safe on the steam cloud but Witcher 3 is on the GOG Galaxy system and does not appear to have cloud saves unless im missing something.

I believe so alright. Don't use the GOG client myself but don't think it has cloud saves yet, its on a "wishlist".

360 controller dunno how people can play 3rd person fighting games with KB, how do you diagonal?

Same for Batman, Mordor et all.

This is really good so far but Alt to Dodge? Its just not possible, are you all playing with 360 controllers or something? Has anyone found a better key binding set up or do you just not use it? Left shift to power attack is a pain in the ass aswell but I suppose Ill get used to it...

I actually left alt as dodge and am used to it now so I cannot help you there... but I did change strong attack to right click. Feels much more intuitive... having it as a modifier is dumb... I hate that they designed it for gamepads.

That left witcher senses without a bind so I tied it to an extra button on my mouse so if you have something like that make use of it. I'm sure there's some other key on the keyboard you could re-purpose, though.

Now that I think about it... if you have extra buttons on your mouse I'd say don't be shy about binding even more stuff to it, perhaps even dodge if you have enough that are comfortable. Relying mainly on mouse for clutch battle situations seems to feel best.

Now if only double-tap W made horse/boat sprint :pac:

They're actually quite playable and dare I say even favourable to play with KB/M sometimes. Ever seen someone play Devil may Cry 4 with KB/M? It's a sight (and sound) to behold and they are often just as good as any other enthusiastic player.

For WASD it's AW, WD, SD, AS. There's few games that need more accuracy outside of 8-way directional input.

Do I need to do something to level up my casting a bit or does it just come as you level up? Maybe its because I just finished Witcher 2 before starting this but I seemed to use magic way more in that, in this I just cast quen once at the start of a fight then forget about magic after that because it takes so long to recharge its practically pointless.

You'll want to increase stamina regeneration by spending points in the Signs skill tree. Each point spent in this tree increases regen by about 1% in combat. Also, under the General skills section, Sun & Stars increases stamina regen at night and Griffin School Training increases it for each piece of medium armour worn. You have to assign these skills to a slot for this to come into effect though.

I didn't get CTD but had a freeze during a load screen recently.

If you have DS4 drivers installed yes it should pick it up but it will use Xbox prompts as usual. I use DS4windows drivers but played this game with KB/M I did see it detect the gamepad though and I once went sailing with the gamepad.

Like I said, DS4Windows. There's also Xinput wrapper. Either one is fine and you'll get a result in the first google search probably. Just don't use motionjoy it's garbage that should be avoided.

The quests in the Journal are ranked in order of whats closest to you as the crow flies but thats about it.

For me the best game.

Mouse/keyboard or xbox controller?

Used to play all my games with mouse and keyboard but picked up a cheap x box controller for the young lad to play the lego games with. Im now converted to x box controller for everything bar first person shooters.

Keyboard and mouse
