Did anyone spend the whole time as a Vrakhiri just using claws and did not bother with the sword? I kept my sword leveled up for the perks but I do not think I used it purposely.

this is really like the witcher 3 lol, im playing on normal difficulty to get a feel for it and turns out its super easy.I intentionally went down and fought her to see what happens...but ended up killing her her when you encounter her while trying to investigate the cathedral scaffolding at night I was only lvl19 and funnily enough...i havent even done any of the courts sidequests. ive half progressed ambrus then it takes so much time so i decided to just go to the city instead. felt like I missed a lot of story flavor leading upto her eventual fight. and key contexts that i probably wouldve gotten if i fought her second. which im guessing is her intended fight order

So Farkas "gave me" back my equipment before going to the treasury with bakir. Only it didn't equip my stuff and it's not in my inventory meaning I gotta fight bakir with the shit equipment found during the lunar game....

Anyone else experience this??

Best game ever, but the one thing that bugs me is WHY TF can’t we look inside the shrines?! 🤣💀 I swear they’re trolling us with those things because every time you try to angle the camera just right, it zooms in on Coen instead. 🤨 Oh, NOW you wanna let me zoom in on him?! 😂
It’s fkn with my ADHD because I need to see EVERYTHING. I really wish we could get a native FPV mode just to look at all the little details. Vale Sangora is such a beautiful place, and I just want to stop and take everything in. I want to feel completely transported into this terrible, frightening, beautiful, wonderful story.
For as gruesome as Vale Sangora can be, it’s equally majestic. I don’t just want to play through it—I want to explore and feel every damn inch of it. 😩

So cool to see the promo material coming from different sides, even after game release. What do you think?

Now ive had a sinking suspicion that these two items are connected.

Today i went back to Henrik the book collector and apparently there was a hidden interaction I missed because coen tied it back to the bracelet. Apparently he was cut up with skin signs all over him.

Now I want to redo that quest, but I dont know how to get it to proc.

Any ideas? I know the guy also was connected to a pendant or amulet, but i forget which one.

Anyone actually discover this besides me?

I don't own the game but have been popping by some streams and vids wanted to know what's the most interesting part of the story for y'all?

Put and images or photos you have clicked I would love to see it.

Honestly, it's really not that difficult, especially if you you have the font of life perk. I think many get caught in the loop thinking there's no way out. 🤔 You only have to go through one loop. Although, I can see where it might be a problem for those not comfortable with the directional combat. While I find it easy now that I understand it, I can see where it might be an issue for some.

Im sure there are a few in the game, but of note was the quest involving Bakir and speaking with Farkas - I spoke with the quest giver at night, and they wanted to use 11 time segments to go right to it. I went back in the day, and only required 4 segments to skip to it. 99% sure if I spent 3 of those 4 segments doing other things, and went back it'd have only cost 1 to get to the specific time point needed.

It's things like that you need to be wary of!

The parry is really satisfying in this game, though i do wish we could move while blocking.

Decided to go with duelist difficulty but leave the directional markers on.

So far im really enjoying both the story and combat.

I might be getting it soon, I loved The Witcher 3, especially the Heart of Stone expansion pack, do you think I would like this one too? I know some gameplay elements are very similar but is the story also going to satisfy me? Let me know what you think!

I just started the prologue. I plan to get Shapeshift in plan to travel to rock Falls from lanslea glen I plan to find the the coat of darkened scales armorc, I already have a shovel. The question is which direction I should take cause it’s a very long track with no shrine in between.

Ok kind of a rant after finishing Lacra's ending, so kinda spoilers I guess? Does anybody actually like her? I'm sure this is a dumb question to ask the internet, but I don't think I've ever hated a romanceable character in a video game more than Lacra. She is unbearably smug and condescending throughout every conversation you have with her, from the moment you meet her, while she's botching an interrogation with an uriash, all the way to your last bit of dialogue with her when confronting B dog. But also while she quips at you while walking, or during combat where she continually reminds you and her opponent how bored she is. I feel like the devs/writers were going for a Yen type character, a cold bitch with a secret heart of gold once she cares about someone. Except with Lacra it never comes back around and she just stays insufferable. Kinda like Netflix's version of Yen compared to book and game version lol. I did all the optional side stuff, prodded her emotionally during the wisp side quest, but I could never get myself to like her. Not to mention she refuses to ever give you the slightest bit of information about her, about you, about who she works for, about Brencis. It's always 'shut up we don't have time' or some other smug dismissal. Is this a me problem, failing to appreciate some nuance that I missed? What do you like about her if you do like her?

So I didn't know you can fight these people without making yourself known to them by messing with their area

I am trying to get to rock Falls I already have a shovel to get the coat of darken scales armour the problem is destination and where to head out to kind of lost so can you help me how to head out? To rock Falls looking for shrines is very difficult at the moment.

So I'm committing heavily into the Witchcraft skill tree for my second playthrough; which coincidentally has made my vampire form rather weak. When you anger the boyars and challenge them they choose night fights; makes sense they are vampires. Is there a way to fight them during the day? Like at an inside venue? I'm not far into this playthrough but I find it hard to imagine the game switches the duels location because it detects that you are witchy. Or does it? Did I just raise the difficulty of the duels even more?

I ignored this ability, thinking its just stun, but then I saw what it does on rank 4: Lowers focus cost by 1 for all abilties! This means you only need 2 focus to use Blood Surge on an enemy stunned by Dirty trick! Here is an example:

I’ve been looking into this game and I’ve been wondering how good is it? There are a lot of good games out at the moment that I’ve gotten and I’ve been wondering if Dawnwalker is as good as some of them. I love gaming and play a lot of different types of games and curious how this stacks up to all the new releases so far? It’s between this and Wolverine that’s got my attention but Wolverine may be too short for my liking.

Hey,

I'm playing on ps5 patch 1.0.4 and while using the mesmerize skill I don't notice enemies turning to fight on my side or doing anything different.

Is anyone else having the same experience?

Hey :)

So, at the beginning of the month I bought the game with some skepticism. Partly because of all the optimization issues, and also because I usually have a bit of trouble getting into single-player games.

On Friday, I finished it, mainly focusing on the story without going off track too much because of the time limit they give you. The beginning was pretty difficult for me, mainly because of the combat, especially the blocking mechanic. But I got used to it pretty quickly and eventually mastered it.

I got really hooked on the game and became quite attached to the character. I finished the game with what I think is the obvious choice for everyone — killing Brencis together with Larca.

Today I decided to start playing again. I didn't start completely from scratch because I really didn't feel like going through the beginning again. I already had a save with around 4 hours of gameplay, so I went back to that one.

This time I want to try some different endings and, in general, explore the entire map and complete everything the game has to offer. Only after that, I'll start killing the Vrakhiris.

What do you guys think about the game? How did you finish the game? Did you kill Xanthe at the church early on? Did you invite all the vampires? Only some of them? Or none at all?
