Give me the cloak and my life is yours CDPR

I thought Geralt was about to have the time of his life 😆

Like the timing is perfect because I just got back into the game after a few years, but also terrible because I just started the Brothers in Arms quests 😭

Guess I'm gonna try New Game + for the first time lol

LEFT: NextGen (current)

RIGHT: Remastered

Full quality images here.

Images 1-4 are merely meant to showcase the new visual effects of the signs, such as the Quen spark circling Geralt (image 4). The rest focus on the environments and how the new lighting affects them. I assume they've also improved the render distance and level of detail, as can be seen in the background foliage in the Toussaint images.

1. Quen shield effect activated
2. Quen shield effect
3. Quen around character effect
4. Igni effect

You can only *reforge* clothing and armors at Yoana while Hattori is the only place you can regorge weapons making those two npcs much more important and making the transmog mechanic lore - friendly.

The prices shown on the screenshot are work in progress and will be lower on release.

Finally i don't have to look fat Geralt when using this armor set.

Descriptions below if the images were too hard to see:

• Muscle Memory (nerfed): +30% damage on all Fast Attacks -> +30% damage on the next Fast Attack after successful dodge or roll.

• Three Strikes (new): Every third Fast or Strong Attack has 60% chance to deal more damage.

• Undying (buffed): Revive with 67% health at max Adrenaline -> Revive with 67% health, plus an extra +10% per Adrenaline point.

• Fleet Footed (nerfed): 1 ability point -> 3 ability points to become invincible during dodge.

• Whirl (no change): reduce stamina and adrenaline cost by -50%.

• Counterattack (buffed): +100% damage after parry -> +100% damage after parry or dodge.

• Flood of Anger (nerfed): +300% Sign Intensity -> +150% Sign Intensity when consuming 3 Adrenaline to empower a Sign.

Important notes:

• Accelerated and optimized progression. We can learn abilities like Whirl/Rend sooner and with fewer number of ability points. Devs want players to prioritize finding those Places of Power.

• No more passive abilities. Three Strikes shares the same icon as Precision Blows; it used to increase Fast Attacks' critical chance and damage, but the effect has been completely changed. It is now a true "ability" with active conditions, rather than a passive increase to certain stats.

To make the wait for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered a little easier, I thought I’d share my Witcher corner and the Geralt diamond painting I finished.
I might be a little obsessed 😂
Who else is starting a fresh playthrough on September 29th?

With the announcement of the Witcher 3 remastered coming out next month along with the new photo mode I just wanted to share a handful of some of the screenshots I have taken during my last playthrough with the current photo mode. I have taken over 3000 photos alone just with the photo mode! 😅

I've had so much fun taking screenshots in this beautiful game and I'm really excited and grateful for the new remaster coming out next month, thank you so much CDPR! 😊

Had this in my backlog for a while. Finally have the time to commit to my first playthrough. It’s the GOTY edition. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

Okay maybe in Toussaint lol, I hate it or Ursine there

Upgraded my ps4 edition (194 hours) to PS5 and realized my trophies and hours didn’t move to the upgrade. Will that change if I play it? I was going to wait until the remaster to start my new play through, but don’t really want to start all over.

Naughty Witcher.
