Topic: The Witcher 3 PS5

@FuriousMachine good stuff. Yes, early on packs of monsters or even wolves are not so great on Death March! But at some point they become easier prey 😁

Just make sure to check those notice boards and do a little questing early on and you will level up soon enough 😁

I feel like the game does a good job of leading you past points of interest on little jaunts too, and there is always something to do for someone to tie it all together while exploring from one place to another.

Enjoy

@FuriousMachine Very interesting. Thanks for indulging my quirky transcontinental curiosities. 😄
I now turn this thread over to its regularly scheduled Witchering. 😛

@Ravix I'm using Quen liberally and have gotten fairly decent at keeping my distance, dodging and blocking until I find an opening and then unleashing steel or silver-coated fury on the poor b@stards when the time is right (this is my favourite combat style by a country mile). So, I've been managing quite okay so far; have dispatched a few Drowners, some wolves, bandits and ghouls. The ghoul nest was a challenge and I had to try it a couple of times, but got there in the end and was rewarded with my first ability point from the nearby Point of Power. Put it in the Quen ability "Active shield" (may be called something else, memory hazy). Haven't been able to see it in action yet, but hopefully tonight.
Fairly close to levelling up, I think. Should be around 100-200 XP to go, so with some active slaying and a contract or two, I'll probably get there.

@Th3solution Was my pleasure. I haven't really reflected on it before you asked, as it feels so ingrained that I never considered that it might seem a bit strange for both native English speakers and those that grew up in countries where everything is dubbed that it is like this. I know it's much the same in Sweden and Denmark; a bit unsure about Finland, but I think they also prefer subtitles to dubbing. Made me curious about how others outside of Scandinavia make use of localizations in games, particularly those coming from countries like Germany and France, which have a long tradition of dubbing movies and TV shows. I suspect younger generations are more bilingual in those places than their older counterparts. Will make a point of asking around in a dedicated thread in the near future
