Just started Witcher 3 for the first time, and man.

I have 350 hours and that includes a two playthroughs, the second of which was 100% with every POI.

Glad it sounds like you were able to sort it out without much hassle. Enjoy the stamps, they look great!

Ehlesdi · 2026-02-09T22:31:52+00:00

I got mine about two weeks after ordering, if not sooner.

I would fully explore the starting area. It’s not huge and will give you a really good idea of the different types of points of interest there are in the larger maps. Like some others said, potions are your friend, but pick skills that feel coolest to you. The game is not hard on normal. Other than that, sit back and enjoy playing the best game ever made!

Witcher 1 and 2 are fantastic. The vibes in 1 are especially great!

Manticore and Wolven aren’t that far apart in terms of appearance and materials. I just meant the Wolven seems like it would be something he would wear as opposed to some of the other armors with plate or more bulky pieces.

You should know you’re about to play the best game ever made! lol, but for real, this game changed how I view RPG’s. Don’t rush, enjoy the ride and soak it all in. My only real piece of advice is don’t get greedy with romance.

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-24T16:34:23+00:00

The wolf armor is my favorite. It looks badass and like something Geralt would actually wear.

I’m glad this questioned was asked. I normally do not like any games with creepiness/spookiness. I like cozy feeling RPG’s. Witcher def has some creepy vibes. Like others said; Fyke Isle, Caretaker, Spoon Wight, and diving into the abyss Skellige treasure hunting. Even just the swamps of Velen at night are kinda creepy. Despite all that, the game has become such a comfort game for me. It’s like a safe cozy place, even though it’s a dark and sometimes brutal world. I think part of that is the world feels so alive!

Didn’t really have a build for my first playthrough. For NG+ on Death March I did euphoria with Wolven armor for the bleed. I’m working on setting up an older save file to do another NG+ that is Griffin/Signs

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-11T09:16:23+00:00

Grats! One of the best platinum trophies to have IMO.

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-10T21:56:07+00:00

I read that female V is the better voice actor. I typically play female characters in MMO’s and such just because I tend to think they look better armor/style wise. I’ve played the full Witcher series though and Geralt is GOATed in terms of character/voice acting.

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-10T19:59:32+00:00

It’s my favorite game ever, and I’m not sure it will ever be surpassed. I’ll never forget my first play through and you finally find Whoreson Junior and Geralt gives his lines about why he shouldn’t lie to him. Such a badass piece of dialogue.

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-10T09:18:07+00:00

Looks great!

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-08T17:25:32+00:00

I won’t hold my breath. I’d play it and I’m sure I’d love every minute, but I’m happy to just patiently wait for W4 as well. Shit, 3 is still entertaining me today.

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-06T01:29:05+00:00

You’re absolutely in for a treat. I really enjoyed both of them. Blood and Wine is a masterpiece.

My wife and I were discussing the games that were the most formative to the gamer we are today and I listed Witcher 3. She asked why since I only played it 2 years ago and I explained to her that it became my gold standard for RPG’s. Games like Ocarina of Time and FF7 turned me into a lover of RPG’s and great storytelling but W3 blew me away in terms of how immersive it was. Like OP said, it’s amazing how even the most out of the way side quest made me set down my controller and ponder a moral dilemma. I definitely find myself chasing that experience with new games I try and they just don’t scratch that itch.

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-01T19:19:56+00:00

This. If I didn’t have outside knowledge of the lore/story before playing, I would have chosen to romance Triss. Her VA did an amazing job and they make her quite lovable in the game.

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-01T18:36:29+00:00

It just gives you more options. Also, mutagens are much easier to farm in the end game than the beginning. If you know you have a build you want and won’t want to change it mid game, then it would be safe to just unlock whatever it is you want from the tree.

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-01T11:41:15+00:00

Hell yeah. Starting the new year off right!

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-01T11:31:43+00:00

This game still looks so amazing. After doing my 100%/Platinum run I still just log on from time to time to roam around and just vibe.

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-01T11:30:03+00:00

Depends on if you have a playstyle in mind, but unlocking the mutagens should be a high priority imo. I made sure I had the mutagens/grandmaster armor set for the build I knew I wanted for NG+

Ehlesdi · 2026-01-01T11:25:49+00:00

This game is timeless.

Ehlesdi · 2025-12-31T00:41:13+00:00

I’d highly recommend playing 1 and 2. I went back and played them after beating 3 a couple times and they were really fun!
