Oh yeah, that was quite a disappointment. Actually that whole alchemy/crafting is poorly handled in the game.... it could've been an amazing mini game/distraction on its own, but it just ends up nowhere.... I sold 90% of the stuff I found, and stuck to cat armor....

 

Alchemy was best done in the first game. Wish they would have brought that experimentation game back with slight tweaking so that you could save a set of formulae that you have brewed and are happy with.

 

Crafting does not need to be part of The Witcher, it breaks the lore and honestly I would rather not turn into Geralt, the Blacksmith who churns out a thousand cheap knives to produce one Drake sword or some such.

Just finsihed the game :D I got the ending where...

 

 

Ciri became a witcher

 

 

Although I do miss the chance of getting the black Nilfgaardian horse. The current brown is not my favorite. Would've loved the change :D

 

Will be taking a break from Witcher before I pick it up again for the Hearts of Stone DLC.

 

Might dabble in some strategy games, Starcraft maybe :D

OK is it just me, or is crossbow combat pretty crap? I actually like sword and sign combat, but crossbow doesn't feel satisfying at all. It feels very awkward to use.

 

What do you guys do when faced with a gang of bandits with an archer in the back? I thought using crossbow is what I'm supposed to do, but now I just run to the archer, kill him, and come back out and kill everyone else one by one.

^ Your crossbow is not a weapon to duel with or stand toe-to-toe with anyone, it is basically to interrupt a monster / pack of enemies to overwhelm you in the opening moments of the fight.

 

You can get better bolt types later to deal more damage or inflict an affliction on an enemy.

Crossbow combat is pretty crap and useless in most situations, especially if you've upgraded your Aard sign which can bring down flying monsters. I mainly used it for underwater combat where it's a one shot kill.

 

To deal with the archer, upgrade and equip the arrow deflecting skill. With the right timing you can bring down an archer in 3 deflections.

^ Or you can upgrade Aard to have an AoE attack.

 

Or you can use Igni as a jet of flame (alternate attack) to light enemies on fire.

 

Alternately have an alchemy build that boosts your regeneration with the more number of potions you have imbibed.

 

The crossbow is your only weapon in underwater scenarios.

Yeah crossbow combat is crap but it isn't meant to be used in fight IMO . I only used it in underwater combat . Just use Ard to deflect the array or you can even use upgraded Quen . And there is also an ability that can deflect arrows .

Like most, I hardly used crossbow unless it was mandatory.

 

But I had a lot of fun shooting them graud flying bastarads and seeing them plummet. Then throw a dancing star bomb and go to hack and slash city
