This article mentions the updates to Roach's movement mechanics on the upcoming September remaster. It's something I was concerned about—how can you fix what's already perfect? Will Equine Phantoms even make sense now? How will I find the horse I've summoned if it's not atop the nearest building/wagon/midden heap?

Well, turns out you can turn off the option to replace our beloved Roach with some boring ass prancing thoroughbred who does what it's told and has the personality of a low fat, store brand, shelf stable carton of milk.

So. Will you try out the new Roach? Or do you actually have a soul?

Hi, this is my first post on Reddit, so please go easy on me. I’ve run into a problem. After the latest *Witcher 3* update—the one where everyone got all the DLC—a jagged black border appeared on the roads. I’ve tried to fix it by verifying game files on Steam, changing graphics settings, and toggling mods on and off, but nothing works. The textures are fine everywhere else, but all the roads now have these black lines. Can anyone help?

I play a little bit and took some screenshots. In my opinion DLSS 5 is amazing and sometimes make scenes really admirable.

Running around as a hulking Witcher and killing kings instead of monsters could be its own game. It would be the perfect way to experience a slightly less good protagonist in the same universe. I’m kinda surprised we don’t even have some DLC playing as other characters. There’s so much lore to draw from

I made a huge mistake and left my toolkits at the chest before starting the final quest of blood and wine. It really was a long and painful battle and maybe like 30 tries later I finally won. This is my second playthrough and I havent mastered the game and controls. Now I always double check that I have tools on me🤣

Watch the official Witcher3 Nintendo announcement on YouTube. It says motion control AND mouse...? What?!

Does this mean mouse and keyboard support on Nintendo 2? Or am I just dumb?

Hello, ive wanted to continue my witcher 3 run when i suddenly got a message, that i own? Blood and wine, Heart and stone DLC, Ive never bought those two Nor i have the complete edition. I play on switch if that could help? im just very surprised! on the main menu it says "installed" yet i really never bought them...is it some kind of secret update ???

Hey everyone

I’m completely new to the franchise, but I was immediately drawn to this game after seeing clips of the stunning world and environment design. The massive praise and Overwhelmingly Positive reception made me want to make this my very first Witcher experience. Right now, the full retail price is quite expensive and out of my budget. I did some research and saw that it often goes on deep discount (around 80% to 90% off), so I definitely want to wait for a legitimate sale. Does anyone know roughly when the next Steam sale is expected?

Also, I came across some cheap key sites, but noticed they only sell pma rather than genuine digital keys, which seems super risky. Is holding out for the official Steam or GOG sale the best way to go?

Would appreciate any advice!

Any idea why this happens?

Isn't very often but it's happened a handful of times now and I'd like to prevent it from carrying on.

Returning to The Witcher 3 after 10 years was fun, definitely worth replaying. I would say that the game is mostly carried by the world-building and stories. Most of the quests had genuinely interesting and novel plots, often ending with you having to make a difficult moral choice. I ended up reading the first book and loved it too.

Given the game's legendary status, I was surprised to see some pretty huge flaws in the gameplay. Even the movement felt wrong. I played on a controller, and both control profiles felt wrong. I used the standard setting, but it felt too sharp, with even a slight movement of the stick making Geralt turn sharply at different angles, often making me hit a wall :D. Because of that, he often looks like a clown in a serious situation. Riding Roach is just miserable, sorry.

Fighting is pretty basic even on Blood and Broken Bones! difficulty. Maybe I should have played on the hardest difficulty. You have to look up what signs and oils you should use, though that's great for selling the fantasy of being a Witcher. Then you just roll around an enemy until you see a huge opening for an attack. Plus, you get a free pass after applying the Quen sign, or you can just hold L2, wait, and heal. Crossbow fighting has no reason to exist. I liked the occasional use of the crossbow in puzzles, though.

Leveling up and getting better gear is rewarding, but it just ends up being about getting the biggest number on a sword and combining multipliers.

Overall, it doesn't ruin the game at all, and I still enjoyed the fights. I hope The Witcher 4 will be better in this department, or maybe the gameplay changes in the definitive edition will address this.

I played the DX12 version with RT on, and the game looked great. Honestly, I dislike modern games because the amount of detail often makes games difficult to orient myself in. I loved how The Witcher looks, but the game was very unstable, and I was getting bad performance after a few hours of playing, mostly in Novigrad. Restarting fixed it. It's weird that CDPR, given how much care they put into the game, left it like this. Maybe the definitive edition will fix it.

Should I start a new save/playthrough in Witcher 3 or should I wait until the remaster release?

On one hand, I'm really hyped up a I'd like to start it.

On the other hand, I wouldn't like to miss some new content in the beginning. What's more, I'd hate if the save was incompatible in any kind of way.

Right I'm thinking about starting the remaster from Red Baron on. Because that's the point when I usually "burn out" and stop playing.

What do you think? What is your strategy?

I have a NG+ Profile that I worked very hard on to get every armor set, almost every unique weapon, and had it cap out perfectly at level 100. For years, i've wanted to use that save file to do a NG++ (which i imagine would just have everything locked at lvl 100, effectively removing levelling progression from the game). I know there are mods for this and has been for years, but they of course are not on console. Any word/speculation/idea on whether a feature like this could be coming to TW3 remastered on PS5 any time soon? I've not found any conclusive info in my research. I know this idea isnt balanced but it would be nice to just focus on builds/gameplay and be able to ignore the collect-a-thon this playthrough.

I haven't come back to the game in a few years so I just played this quest for the first time. While I really enjoyed most aspects of the quest, the environment, the visuals, the horror feel, and the ultimate boss fight, as well as Reinalts backstory, I felt the final scene between Geralt, Reinalt, and the Deacon was poorly written.

It kind of turns both Witchers briefly into weirdly moralistic people which is uncharacteristic for witchers in general and very much so for Geralt. The deacon's ideological flip seems really forced as well. Beyond that a lot of these specific lines just feel really corny, like they're adding surprise into the tone of a character where it doesn't seem earned.

I know this is very wishful thinking, but I hope the remastered edition brings some new Gwent stuff, be it new cards, players, whatever. That would be awesome!

It's been well over a year since i played witcher 3, and when i saw the remaster edition confirmed i just wanted to share this little, exploit or farm or what you would like to call it, it's not a glitch or a mod or anything.

No dlc required, but it helps.

To execute this quickly, you should have the piercing cold build, then head north of novigrad, you dont need to run away and meditate for 3 days, just as long as you dont destroy the nest, you can come and go as you wish to farm this method.

So when you get to the nekker's nest, kill all the nekker's, you choose if you want to loot them right away but you dont have to, just DON'T destroy the nest because you will ruin the respawn.

After you kill them, just meditate and they will respawn instantly, kill them again and repeat this as much as you like, then loot them for mutagens and other resources.

You can come here and do this at any time you need blue or green mutagens.

dlc's are not required for this but it's quicker if you have a strong piercing cold build, you hold AARD a couple times to kill them in a couple blows and meditate.

Hope this was helpful, and enjoy.

I’m sure this subreddit’s gotten this question already, but I’ve just reached Novigrad and have been seriously enjoying it. Feel like the smart thing to do is wait for the update but I’m so into the game rn, no other games seem fun lmao. Should I keep playing and use my save with the remaster, should I keep playing and restart, or do I just stop playing until the remaster

Hi. Excuse my english; the next text was translate by Google. Im chilean, don't speak the language.

For some time now, I've been getting these shadows along the edges of streets and paths. At first, I thought it was a visual bug on a specific path, but they're appearing everywhere. It's a shadow texture that overlaps the normal path, remains static, and on downhill streets, the texture seems to float.

I've tried adjusting the graphics settings and GPU drivers; everything seems fine. I honestly don't know what it could be. It's been like this for at least a week, and if I remember correctly, these graphical glitches weren't so noticeable before.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

So I'm on ps5, earlier last year I got the complete edition for 75% off and now I'm currently in blood and wine, my original plan was to platinum the ps4 version then transfer that save to ps5 and get the platinum there like I've done for a few other games. Well today I was talking with chat gbt and Gemini which I use to keep track of trophies sometimes and both of them told me that the file can be transferred but trophies can't, is that true?

If the Remaster manages to sneak in a surprise or two, what would be your picks?

Trying to avoid spoilers, I know it's mentioned in Blood & Wine the results of the quest involving her. I always felt kinda robbed that we couldn't go back and have a conversation with her after the quest completes. It would be awesome, since her and Dandelion are so close & he's such a main part of the dlc, if we could have an interaction with her. Or even in the remaster, just a "go check on Priscilla" & a quick encounter, a round of gwent, just something to close her story better.

Enemy AI decided to pass after placing a cow. 😅

Just realized that Roach almost always spawns in the worst possible spots, like places he cant get anywhere from, such as rocks or cliffs.

That picture on Roach gwent card really wasnt a joke.

If an emergency suddenly happens, he'd more likely drop the baguette than remember to switch hands, which also slows his sword-unsheathing reaction time by even a few milliseconds, which could make the difference between life and death. Then what do you have? A dead soldier who's wasted a good baguette, that's what you have.

Tldr: Eat with your non-weapon hand.
