I finished watching all three witcher games let's plays by Harthur :)  And I knew I was gonna fall in love with the game.  I even downloaded some mods as well.  So I'm pretty much all set for my new computer build :p

so recently updated my Withcer 3 and mods and now geralt wont stop putting his sword away when looting and you get out a aggro and yet there are still ememies here by. I cant remember if there is a mod or setting that stops this. It is flat out annoying especailly during combat

Properly configured Friendly HUD stops him from putting his sword away.

Finally got to Skellige this morning and I find it amusing that most of the accents sound Scottish and Irish.

Well today, after much delay, I finally finished the game. Wow, wow, wow! Oh did I mention... wow!

Brilliant story-telling. Excellent quests and character progression. Graphics far above anything else I have ever seen in a game like this. The music is fantastic also, it's amazing how much emotion the music fills in you when playing. Try a scene or two with the sound muted and see the difference.

 

It was because of this guide, and that from @rootstrat, that I got the game and I have not been more pleased with my decision.

 

Thanks @Neovalen for a great guide and providing me with 100's of hours of gaming joy.

 

 

Question:

All throughout the game I was perplexed by the armour choices I made. Always seem to taking far too much damage even with what I thought were top-of-the-line armour.

What do you consider to be the best armours at various stages?

 

I fashioned all the Witcher armour up to master-crafted but sadly only got to use them for the very last battle, never got to level 34 until just before facing Eredin.

My choice was to go with the 'Feline' variety but next time I might tryout the heavy armour. Perhaps they absorb more damage and will be better for players like me that aren't too skillful with the slash-dodge-slash strategy?

 

 

EDIT:

Answer to my own question is: choose armour that has high resistance values over those with just high armour values.

Also I'll link to a fairly good YouTube clip that I based these conclusions from.
