Additional Content

Added a new side quest, In The Eternal Fire’s Shadow, in Velen. Rewards are inspired by Neftlix’s The Witcher series.

Quality of Life Changes

Added a Quick Sign Casting option. It allows signs to be switched and cast without opening the radial menu. You can find it in Options ? Gameplay.
Added a new default map filter. The new filter hides some icons such as “?” and boat icons in order to reduce icon clutter on the map. These icons can be turned back on with the “All” map mode toggle.
Adjusted the minimum height for fall damage, allowing the player to survive falls from higher heights.
Herbs can now be instantly looted with a single interaction – without the additional loot window.
Added options that dynamically hide the minimap and quest objectives when not in combat or using Witcher senses. You can find it in Options ? Video ? HUD Configuration ? Hide minimap during Exploration and Hide objectives during Exploration.
Added the option to slow walk when playing with a controller. You can now slow walk by lightly pushing the left stick forward.
Also added an alternative sprint mode option when playing with a controller. It’s activated by tapping the left stick. You can find it in Options ? Control Settings.
Added an option to make target-lock unnaffected by camera inversion. You can find it in Options ? Control Settings.
Improved the radial menu so bombs, bolts and pocket items can now be switched dynamically without opening the inventory.
Added the option to scale the font size for subtitles, NPC chatter and dialogue choices. You can find it in Options ? Video ? HUD Configuration.
Added various other small fixes, tweaks, and quality of life changes, including a few secrets to be discovered by players.

 

Gameplay

Added the mod Full Combat Rebalance 3 by Flash_in_the_flesh which includes balance changes and various fixes to gameplay. We took a curated approach to this mod, with some elements further tweaked from what you’ll find in the mod by default, while other elements were omitted.
Scavenger Hunt: Wolf School Gear – Fixed an issue where the chest at the Signal Tower couldn’t be opened.
From Ofier’s Distant Shores – Fixed an issue where the diagram in the chest at the bandit’s hideout could be missing.
Hard Times – Fixed an issue where Geralt couldn’t talk or give the letter to the blacksmith.
Swift as the Western Winds – Fixed an issue where the quest could sometimes fail despite winning the horse race.
Echoes of the Past – Fixed an issue where, after defeating the Foglets, the quest could get stuck and it wouldn’t be possible to talk to Yennefer.
Wine Wars – Fixed an issue where the quest couldn’t be completed if the player destroyed one of the required monster nests during exploration.
Fixed an issue where clearing the Ruined Inn Abandoned Site situated on the southern shore of Ard Skellig was not possible in certain scenarios.
Fixed an issue where the Grandmaster Wolven Set wouldn’t require Mastercrafted items.
Various small fixes to quests and cutscenes.

Παρα πολύ ωραία, θα προτιμούσα να βάζαν το BIΑ που έχει όλα τα fixes από όλα τα mods, δηλαδή το Nitpicker που διάλεξαν και περιέχεται στο ΒIΑ, συγκριτικά φτιάχνει δεκάδες πράγματα και όχι χιλιάδες. Μικρό το πρόβλημα φυσικά αφού σίγουρα θα το κάνουν update οι modders.

Αυτό που δεν κατάλαβα είναι το slow walk, slow walk υπήρχε και πριν με το left analog, το θέμα είναι το left stick να είναι μονο για walking και να πατας κουμπί όταν θες να τρέξεις, RDR2 φάση, εννοείτε πως υπάρχει mod, αλλα χαλαρά θα το σπάει το update. Απίστευτα must mod για όσους δεν τρέχουν σαν τρελοί μέσα στις πόλεις κτλ.

Πάντως το "added various other small fixes, tweaks, and quality of life changes" χωρίς να λένε ακριβώς τι, μου την σπάει τρελα.

Γενικά πολύ καλύτερο changelog από ότι περίμενα.

Πολύ δυνατo changelog έβαλαν και σοβαρά mods έβαλαν και πράγματα από τη σειρά το δίνουν και δωρεάν. Μακάρι να μην αργήσει το remake του 1 θέλω να τα πιάσω με τη σειρά μην πάω κατευθείαν στο 3. 

[Psycho_Warhead]

Δεν χρειάζεται να παίξεις τα δύο προηγούμενα, δες μια περίληψη του τι και πως και ξεκίνα το 3. Δεν χάνεται τέτοιο παιχνίδι, το remake του 1 μπορεί να βγει το 2024-2025.

[Πέτρος]

Άντε τώρα να πιάνεις το 2 για το Iorveth path (όλο θα το έκανα και όλο το άφηνα) και μετά το nextgen3.

Προβλήματα.
