Depends on how good you can get at perfect blocking (though the skill will naturally improve with time). Someone earlier swore the game was even easier...before confessing that he spent 5 solid hours at the beginning of the game just mastering the perfect block. Between his own and improvement and the new improve by use skill system, I don't know what he expected other than to make blocking a lot easier. Though it's still not easy to me to get a perfect block.Does EE really make this game that much harder? I know it's not a very difficult game to begin with but that last comment makes me wonder.
lolso, the tutorial is impossible without cheating.
just run outside of the town when she splits, then run back in. she won't be able to sap your health and regenerate and she'll be one wraith form again instead of three. easy.on the second easiest difficulty level the noonwraith threeshots me
Not sure what on earth you're talking about now.it expects you to hack some monsters for 20min.

No, it isn't. At best, it's a bit abusive, sure, but it isn't typing in a console code, editing game files or using a trainer. That's cheating.THAT'S cheating, you numbnuts =_=
I usually keep a pair of extra silver and steel swords on me and also some repair kits.At around 70% my starting sword takes 250 orens to repair.
Eat a sandwich and meditate WITHOUT starting a fire.Second problem is healing. Now yes, the modder decreased the price of a bunch of crap like alcohol to 2 orens. I still make almost nothing and since the modder changed potions to non-reusable, there's no good way I can find to craft potions that heal me. Every time I take 2 or 3 hits I either need to pony up 50 orens to craft a potion (ontop of orens to light a fire with firewood) or buy 20 orens worth of food items and idle for 20 mins while they heal me. How the hell am I expected to work with this?
After you've entered meditation mode, I believe holding the SHIFT key will let you speed up time without having to meditate for a set number of hours.Meditation:
A new, core part of the game. Meditating is a witcher's best friend, allowing you to rest, brew potions, learn new talents, improve your gear with runes and glyphs or spend time to meticulously apply oils to your blades or to consume potions in a controlled manner.
If you have firewood and simply enter meditation, Geralt will set a fire, allowing you to brew potions and gain a well-rested bonus if you rest near it for at least six hours. If you hold the meditation key, Geralt will enter meditation without setting a fire.
Now go up to a group of 6 drowners.Literally any 1v1 is trivial so far
It takes your money for contracts? Sounds like a story mode mod.
Those are 12th century rates for monster slaying.
What? No, it's really not that big of a issue. I completed the tutorial and did a ton of exploration too.Where do you get money early game? Unless I'm supposed to rush to end the tutorial and get 1000s of orens per quest in chapter 1, I don't see how I can keep my blades in good condition. My other option involves beating 90% of encounters with Igni.
Don't worry about long term. Just get through the tutorial and then you'll have more swords than you know what to do with. Twitcher 3 is still packed with weapons.Long-term it seems to me that using a poor condition sword is a really bad idea.
Then plan ahead and bring plenty of repair kits.So using any sword in a low-durability state would seem to be inefficient.
There's plenty of money in contracts. The guy who hires you for the well quest is just poor. The mod lets you get up to a 70% boost with haggling, though it's randomized, so about 30% more on average.Geralt's supposed to pay his way by doing contracts; if there's no money in that, the mod is wrong.
If you want, you can access the mod menu and just change the repair cost modifier under lore friendly witcher economy.If you can adjust so the story pays nothing and the contracts do, then you might have a winner.
I think I may have swapped out my weapon once or twice and used a repair kit or two. Not sure I even had to repair my weapon until the tutorial was over.
No, I mean repair it at a crafter. Like I said, I used repair kits and swapped swords.Wat. Then that's totally different from my experience, because my silver sword was at around 85% or so just from the opening fight with the 4 ghouls.
They can get expensive. You can find them for free though, which is why they're a technically cheaper option.Aren't repair kits really awful in terms of repair:cost? I thought they were in vanilla at least.
Low is better than zero and not all of them are expensive to repair iirc.Can't really swap swords when all the ones you find are at low durability already.
Positioning. For example, if you dodge backward FROM A DISTANCE right when a ghoul lunges, you avoid all damage and the ghoul is open for attack.I'm not sure why dodge exists

A mix of quen and just being sure to stay out of its way when a lunge is about to come. It's weird, I've seen a lot of people complain about the griffin, but it wasn't an issue for me. You also need to try to only attack certain creatures from certain angles.How do you deal with big monsters whose attacks can't be parried?
I agree with this. I'm not a fan of level by use systems in general. But then I didn't like the default leveling system much either.Also I have to complain a bit about the leveling system. Level by use is OK but it's too specific. Getting points in the sword/magic/potion groups for doing sword/magic/potion stuff would be good, but breaking it down by specific field is way too strict. e.g. Aard is basically useless until you level Shock Wave but you have to use it to level Shock Wave, gotta spam Axii in battle a bit in order to use it in conversations. I don't know if the crossbow would be useful if leveled up and I'll probably never find out because using it unleveled is clearly useless and costs a ton of money for bolts.
