Just got the game on GOG today. Will start playing today and continue for the next few weeks.
Any beginner hints/tips?
Avoid spoilers if you can please.

My one cent, go to Skellige as soon as you are able. I waited too long and was overleveled. It took the fun out of it as I just rushed through it.
In fact, this is the reason I want to do a second playthrough. + Choosing yennefers side this time.
Addendum, I hope you got the goty edition for that 11 pound
Beginner hints:
- Don't try to beat werewolf on level 5, wait for 8+
- Don't grind flora, you'll swim in cash later and herbs are cheap
- Buy cards from every innkeeper and play cards once at every merchant
- Invest some points in quen and later in reverse quen
Explore organically. Turn off the ? on the map. Most of them are boring if you set them as destinations, but can add flavor if you happen upon them naturally. (Once you get to Toussaint, my advice changes somewhat… you can still leave them unmarked, but they are generally more worthwhile in Blood & Wine than in Velen/Skellige)
If you see a building on the map, check it out. Those usually aren't marked with ? for some reason, but there are often signficant things to encounter there.
Ignore the crossbow. It's weirdly useless.
Don't save scum decisions. There are some interesting ones and you'll suck all of the meaning out of making them.
I don't like cheating unless it's required due to bugs or after having played a few times.Let the cheat force be with you. Use the console mod and codes young padawan.
That's what progression is likeWell then you wont get the best armor that actually makes Geralt look like a professional till you play Blood and Wine then. It's called the manticore armor and weapon set.
You'll actually look like Geralt from the original game finally.
Thanks, I guess I'll need to see how I feel after playing a bit.I'm not so sure about exploring organically. I thought most of the side quests were really, really good. Maybe turn them off at first then turn them back on after you've done a few you found?
I definitely agree with the live-with-bad-choices! This isn't a game about divining the developers' ideas of what is correct and following that path to get to the good ending. They seemed to make satisfying results for all your choices. Stick with the actual role playing!
Nah it's what he should have looked from the very beginning. This is what always bothered me with sequels. You lose your abilitys and gear to become a weak pansy.That's what progression is like
No worries. I think that's the case with many sequels. In most games they invent some reason for it though like in gothic 2 he was resurrected.Nah it's what he should have looked from the very beginning. This is what always bothered me with sequels. You lose your abilitys and gear to become a weak pansy.
Gerlat is over 100 years old I doubt this would happen to him.
Anyway I agree to disagree I cheat on every game I play. It's fun to hack a game and alter it to allow for inf money and other fun things. Still it's not for you it seems.'

Haha thanks. I probably will get burned out but let's see.
I'm having some issues getting the strong attack working. It says press shift and left click but it doesn't do anything. Any ideas why?
I can't tell yetDamn... does that mean the TW3 combat still sucks, like TW1 ????
