Since my How to Enjoy Morrowind video did so well I figure I'd release another one like it. This one covers a lot more and I'm sorry for the lengthy video. Hope you guys find it helpful!
I've explained this a lot but you seem special to me, so I'll explain for you :) Its not how to force yourself to enjoy. ANYONE who doesn't understand what they are doing will eventually feel discouraged to quit. My videos help you explain your tools so when your in the game you use said tool. Its fairly simple to understand
This is how someone can jump to conclusions, just by reading the title. I have never seen anyone make videos like this anyway except him, no question of "people" doing it. And it's not about it being boring, but the quest tracking being confusing and the story being way too long. Got nothing to do with the quality. It's one of the better written RPGs of all time. Would have known, if u dived into it, more than just reading the title.
@@arandomguy3526 oh no, i tried like 10 times to get into it, even downloaded mods on nexus, i really wanted to love and get lost in the game but it was still extremely dull to me. when i found out combat was never gonna get better and the physics, i just droped the game... i dont care about the story because i never read the books or played previous witcher games, nor do i care to. if the combat and gameplay was really good, i might have dived into the game and loved it. but thats not the case. im not arguing against this guy making this video, thats great of him. im just spitting my personal opinion on how i view these types of things. Imagine making a video on, ""how to enjoy God of War or Spiderman without giving up."", thats impossible because the games are actually fun to play the moment you enter the game... but right now, i understand you are defending the witcher because you love it. thats not a problem.
@@anonymous_dot_com2326 why would you play a single player game if you don’t care about the story😂😂😂 this is regarded as one of the greatest rpgs of all time and if you can’t see that you obviously are hating it just to hate it. If you don’t like this rpg how could you like any?
For beginners I’d recommend getting the Gourmet ability in the general section. This ensures whatever food you eat regenerates your vitality for the next 20 mins which is great for battling.
I also use this skill as a players that’s played 4 times through. I’m on my 5th play right now and it’s been about a year since I played. This skill is amazing to get back into the game without worrying about health too much. I’m playing on BBB haven’t made the move to deathmarch yet. But the not healing with meditation makes it more “real” for me so the gourmet skill helps a lot.
St.MichaelDefendUsInBattle I’m coming to the end of my second play. I will play again when the enhanced version is out for the next consoles. And I still use it too
I am well aware the music transitions are loud. If I could go back and change it I would, but I can't. I apologize for the ear bleeds. Don't let in ruin your day on my account! YES and thank you to everyone who corrected me on the decoctions. For some reason I had it stuck in my head they were not reusable, They are! Thanks :)
Stopped watching because of this. Every time the music starts my speakers explode and I'm stuck to the ceiling. That's how startled I was. Damn shame. Could have been a good video.
I also suggest to turn off Points of Interest in the options. I found myself running from question mark to question mark and it became an overwhelming chore really fast. With them off, you pay more attention to the world and you discover things more organically instead of staring at your map the entire time. Way more enjoyable in my opinion!
Yeah I'm sorry I left a annotation explain why it happened.unfortunately I don't have the raw footage to re upload but I'll make sure to turn that shit down next time
Thanks finally a video worth watching. All the other Beginners guide video I watched , they fucking assume I know every everything A beginner should know and starts from middle of nowhere .
Don't sell everything in other, many items can be broken down into silver, iron, steel, timber etc. I honestly don't understand how you can rage quit this game. As long as you're leveling up via quests, making potions/bombs to support, and exploring undiscovered areas you're fine.
Nope he is right..the only thing the junk is good for is to sell it. The only thing i ever upgraded was his basic suit. The rest of the stuff you truly need you can all find exploring and doing side quests. Dismantling is all just extra costs you do not have to pay for. Repairing your shit is more then enough for the lousy amounts of money you make in this game.
Thank God for this video! 👊I bought the game bought the book and was so excited to get started and immediately got overwhelmed. You broke it down into little pieces that helped me so much, just a simple point of pinning an ingredient for example. Video makers have to remember that some of us are not experienced Gamers yet and that are new to the fun and need really basic info first.😁
I miss the noob feeling. I’ve played so many games now that the novelty of a new game wears off pretty quick. I find that playing on harder difficulties and playing for immersions instead of rushing the critical path makes the awe of playing an amazing new game a little more potent. Gosh I sound old. I try not to fast travel I try to walk in towns and act like the character would act. The Witcher 3 is one of the best games for immersion. Sure it’s not perfect, Roach really pisses me off when he runs around afeared of like one wolf and just trots all around the fight getting in the way. But it truly is a game to be savored and taken slow and methodically.
Just buy the pc version download a few mods and skip all the bullshit, no fall damage, no weight cap, and fast travel from anywhere. Get those mods and the game is actually perfect...
Well I’m about to be in that same bout gonna give a go after I watch this, I didn’t get that far the first go through but I know it’s such a good game and my style idk what happened lol
@@farhadjawhar4055 because so many wrong in the vid, you can dismantle some items on the "other" section that way you got some crafting materials from it, and trophy has weight and some other items in alchemy/crafting like hide etc
You've convinced me to try and play through the game again. I started the game last year and got a bit overwhelmed with all the items and crafting which put me off the game. I was expecting a really great story with interesting and diverse characters. I realise that the game has those things, but I just got bogged down with the items etc. that I just quit the game.
You shouldn’t sell everything in your other or even armour. It can be dismantled for crafting components. You also should sell some of roach’s stuff as saddles are one of the heaviest items. It’s also useful craft with your mutagens in alchemy as you can make better mutagens for % increase on your abilities
I just started playing this game. I was going to quit after a couple of hours. I was so overwhelmed by the inventory. Once you get the hang of it it's not to bad. If the combat and movement was more fluid this would be a great game.
BUckENbooz DLC? What’s that? I have not been able to access or use the crossbow. I am on an Xbox One X. New to Xbox. Any idea why I can’t access it? Or is there a trick to to getting to get it tor work?
@@JonneytheKidd DLC is "downloadable content." Basically, the two expansion packs that were released for the game. You probably have the complete edition of the game that already has all that included. Crossbow: Have it equipped in your inventory, then when you're in the game bring up your quick select menu (the one where you pick what sign to use during combat). The crossbow should be at the very bottom of that menu. Highlight it, exit that menu, and it should be ready to use.
This is probably the most underrated video on this game. A lot of useful information and I like that you showcased things that discourage newcomers to the mechanics of the game. Greatly appreciate this man!
For the love of everything Witcher. Do yourselves a favor and craft better Mutagens! Under "Alchemy Substances". You'll give Geralt a serious boost to his attributes when you socket them, especially when compared to any Mutagens you just pick up along the way. Also there's a lot of junk you can dismantle for useful parts, instead of blindly selling. As you progress you'll find and earn a lot of money so don't worry too much about selling a ton of crap just to buy a sword a few points stronger than your own. I promise you'll find decent weapons in the beginning then get into crafting a bit later on after you've accumulated enough parts to not have ever search for what you need (usually) from 20 levels of exploring and dismantling. That's the way I play anyway. The only time I really die with this strategy is from falling.... 😑 Otherwise great video! I hope this gets people into the game for the first time/again.
The items under "other" category are also used as materials for Crafting tools, such as metal dishes, leather, wood, etc. It is used to create bombs, swords, armor, boots, gloves, etc.
The Witcher series on Netflix of seriously outstanding. Anyone with even a vague interest in The Witcher needs to watch it as soon as possible. Henry Cavill is seriously fantastic as geralt. The series has definitely given me renewed interest in this game.
I also just started TW3 after watching the Netflix series. The fact that it's only $15 on steam with all dlc may have also been a factor in my decision to pick the game up. So far (10 hrs), so good.
Man this is a Hella good guide, really really helpful, you've answered all my questions unlike lots of other channels that just expect you to know everything 🙌🙌
This was very helpful. You’re description of other top videos simplifying too much is on point. This is a very sophisticated game with a lot of mechanism- and it’s easy to overlook things
Hey man thanks for reassuring me that this game isn’t as complicated as it seems. I’m ten hours in and feel hopeless in gaining better gear and I have no idea what the hell I’m supposed to do with all the materials I find. It’s really nice to know that decoctions, potions, oils, and bombs don’t have to be repeatedly crafted. Look forward to giving the game another go.
Thanks man. I understand why a good amount of people are upset with my advice and had some good points and maybe even potentially better advice. This video wasn't made for absolute fact its a video on how I PERSONALLY enjoyed Witcher 3. Glad it helped.
@@BUckENbooz First time a content creator comments on their 3 year old posts! Theres always that random guy, years late to a game that wants a REAL tip video. Not some bs guide. Thats me, and your provided it. And you're still here, so that makes me happy lol.
@@BUckENbooz thank you for this video, it gave me a good view about what to do in the game (just starting it) I'd have loved to see some tips about making money and stuff like that though ; )
Just started playing, have watched 10 beginner vids and this was the best, I've got soooooooooo much stuff to sell under the "other" tab lol, thanks dude! 👍🏼
I've read lots of comments and want to make a few things clear based off what my advice is in the game. Decotions. It is brought to my attention I was incorrect and decotions you do in fact only have to craft once. The second one is selling all your other. Now I'm not saying I regret selling everything in your other. This video is how I enjoyed witcher 3. I never based this as fact however, if I gave the impression that other is ONLY for selling that wasn't my intention. You can use other to break down items for crafting. Hope this clears some things up.
Finally a video that has actually helped me navigate the maze of sub menus!! Ive watched so many witcher tip vids to help get me into this game with the same shit- "Dont forget to save, you have a silver sword and a steeeeeee-" BLARGH NOT HELPFUL MATE! Thanks so much again :)
I will have to try to get in to it since i never owned a RPG before the only RPG i have is AC Origins. And i am a big Assassins Creed fan. I will do my best maybe it's just because i am not into RPG"S i was only used to Assassins and Splinter Cell and driving games Batman A. Asylums games etc.
Biggest tip, focus your points into the quen sign, get the exploding shield and the active shield to max and when using quen you can heal yourself in fights and prevent yourself from taking damage, i’m currently on my 3rd alchemy build ps4 complete edition and having the blood and wine dlc is a must for alchemy builds because of the special mutations and what you can do with them, getting every alchemy formula to the superior category is always a top priority as well due to their extremely potent effects
I wish I have seen this video when I was overwhelmed and stopped playing the game. Now I'm back to it again from the beginning and I've been figuring out some stuff and your vid was well organized and well informative. Thanks
People hating in the comments. Thank you for making an in depth explanation in a categorized fashion. You helped alot of people and I also learned from this
Started playing a long time ago then gave up. This type of guide is exactly what I needed thank you. I'm happy to try pick the game up again and give it another try now.
The game is really Simple and intuitive. It's one of the best RPGs, no question about that. If you didn't enjoy it before chances are you're weird as fuck
SUPER helpful video, man. Thanks a ton for making this. Actually just started this game (I know, late to the party), and this was huge in making it not so overwhelming. Loving the game so far, thanks again!
Wow. This video is 3 years old and I just started the witcher 3. I have watched guides for 3 days and you are just right to the point and honest. Your detail taught me so much. I've noticed yo are the only one saying potions, oils and such are unlimited. This is a detail I have not learned or seen in other guides. THANK YOU!
The music isn't that bad guys, chill I'm just glad to have found what is apparently the most up-to-date witcher beginners guide, because literally every other video I've found so far had the old inventory system :(
Great video bro. I just bought this in December 2020. And this is my first game like this. Definetly felt overwhelmed until I found this video. Great content very to the point and didn’t go crazy into detail and make it seem even worse then it is. You really helped me make sense of most everything. Or atleast everything one needs to enjoy the game
Nice video, just the music bits are little bit too loud. AND: Some annotations. 1. You need some kind of alcohol "White Gull" for certain alchemy ingredients. Those ingredients you need for highest tier potions, oils and bombs. 2. Decotions are refilled with alcohol while meditating. 3. Crafting witcher gear is essential because you can improve them 3 times (with BaW 4 times) to (grand) master tier and they are so much better than anything you can loot. 4. You did not explain the mutagene slot beside the character abilities, which gives you depending on the colour benefits, with colour matching within abilities and mutagenes the benefits are even better.
hey man great video. just real quick, you really need to craft "White Gull" under the alcohol tab in alchemy. you need it ALOT to craft the better oils and bombs.
@@hcaps3129 Seen the first three episodes. I'm diggin it. Since its release I noticed the increase in views for the video. Guess it got a lot of people either back into or starting the game.
There are actually quite a few things in the other category that you would want to keep in order to dismantle them and acquire the necessary components for late-game crafting
Some great advice in here. I love this game so much that I'd forgotten how overwhelming it can be unless you plunge headfirst into it. I've completed it on Death March which is a must if you want to learn all the mechanics.
This is great. I bought the game about a year ago and played for about 30 hours. Lost track of everything and got quite overwhelmed when it got harder and had to use potions and stuff I didn't learn about in the beggining. I will give the game another chance now after watching your video, because I really did like the game and it's athmosphere :) Thank you!
Thats awesome! Always glad to hear people respond like this. please do! remember, take your time. your not trying to beat it. you just wanna play it! have fun!
Been playing this for over 70 hours now and still learned some new things from your video. I also feel as if this will be great for beginners to the game, overall great video mate, appreciate it.
Just started playing the witcher 3 and this is the video I was looking for. Most tips and tricks videos show you what you'd expect.. But this video answered my questions! Thanks for the help and keep it up, I'm sure loads of other people have benefited from this.
Thank you! I just started playing this game and once I got the map larger I officially was overwhelmed. I wasn't leveling up very quickly and I couldn't find a lot of things to make oils and bombs. After watching this I feel 100% better getting through this game. I'm only a level 3 but I think I'll just go to white orchard and explore until I level up. It's just SO BIG and that's why I quit playing skyrim. I was too overwhelmed. Thanks though!
Same here! I just finished doing the quests and exploring everything in White Orchard and continued to the larger map (after the castle place thingy). I’m so overwhelmed of where to go, apart from the main story, so I’ve stopped playing a few days ago.
I haven't gotten back to it- it's a beautiful game but I got to a cave and there were rats and it said I had to create a bomb to get rid of the rats but turns out I could have just used my igni and it was too confusing so I rage quit- haha but I think this weekend I'll try again.
I did the same. It was on sell so I was like "might as well." Then started playing, as soon as I got into the very first battle after the tutorial I knew I was gonna have some issues and kinda just sat and made excuses not to play. I did the same with monster Hunter world. Since these are the first games of these series ngave up too easily, but I hate wasting money and decided to force myself to play them and watch some vids on RU-vid. Safe to say, I absolutely loves these games now and happy I got them both.
I have only played it for a little while. Level 4... but at this point I still think skyrim is better. I stopped playing skyrim because there was just so much to do, in terms of quest, but this game I just feel lost.
Thank you so much ! I have been trying to get into this game for soo long but just cant. Your video cleared alot of stuff for me and i'll give it another shot. Great video keep it up more games need this
I feel like I’m in the right state of mind now after countless years where I can feel engaged with what Witcher 3 has to offer to the open world genre. Still going to watch the video and great topic!
@@rolandomedina8513 2020 and after 5 years, I finally took it upon myself to beat the base game. Ended up beating Hearts of stone and now on Blood and Wine. 163 hours in and still loving it every step. Beautiful just as the day I left it
Thank you so much!!!! I really had a hard time to start the Game, and find the right Video to give me a Good start. Now l would like to see a Video, how to make lot's of money soon (besides dismential see shells and sell the pearl's)
I'm so late but I gotta say I fucking loved this video dude, you're so straight forward and you just talk in such a way that anyone who has just a small bit of playtime will understand you.
Decoctions works just like potions, you just have to craft them 1 time and that's it! The difference it's on the toxicity and the duration. You only have 1 decoction of each kind, they last a long period of time and usually you just can use one of them because of the high toxicity. You refill your decoctions just like oils/potions/bombs, by meditation! No need to craft it again!
Nice video man, it really helped me understand the game better, especially in the alchemy section. Had no idea that oils stayed in your inventory for ever, so I never made them because I thought it was very expensive for a single use. Thanks mate!
It is terrible editing because the one who edits the videos either: A) Didn't even sample the music, or B) Knew it's loud af and didn't bother tuning it down Of which both A and B are scenarios that wouldn't exist if the editor were competent enough to care.
"A man after me fuckin 'eart." Good shit dude, one of the best ways to get me back in the game, been lookin through these "tips and tricks" videos and got nowhere, guess I've just been missing an actual human description. Gotta put out more of these for other rpgs!
Not sure if it’s because I’m a gamer, but I just got into the Witcher(only played Witcher 3 because I had extra cash in my psn wallet and wanted to spend it) never cared for the game or anything pertaining to it.... but boy was that the best 30 bucks I spent!! My first few hours, I was grinding/ leveling up, exploring the land etc until I was above the “recommended level”😂. Had loads of fun and the game became a breeze for me
@@BUckENbooz sorry for the late reply. You probably must have tried the dlcs already. Well Heart of Stone is a smaller Dlc compared to Blood and Wine. It has new missions and trust me it is a fun story. The Blood and Wine on the other hand is a much wider expansion. It basically gives you a new map to explore, a map that is really beautiful and the story is great too. I had a lot of fun with the Blood and Wine dlc. Of all the expansions that I've played in any game, this one is the best because of the amout of content and the fun factor involved. You won't be disappointed if you haven't tried it as of yet.
Thank you for the video, that really helped me alot. I recently started to play Witcher 3 and was kinda lost in so many options and stuff, now it makes more sense, so thank you! :)
In 2017 I gave up playing the witcher 3 even when I was still in white orchad for around 4 hours. A year later I decided to reinstall and give it a chance and keep telling myself to play at least 10 hours minimal. Now I've beat the main game + all dlc 6 times and I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME. The world, the story, but most importantly the well written characters ❤. My only regret after playing this game is now I have such a high standard for singleplayer games. If it's not as good as the witcher 3, I'd uninstall them right away and never touch them 😂
@@royplayIL you should give it a try. If you love story rich games, this game is definitely for you! I'm going for a 7th playthrough and this time I'll make sure I don't miss a single side quest because there are a ton of random encounters in this game. Most of the side quests are great, and some of them actually have an impact (big and small) to the main story. Just give it time cuz the first chapter may bore some people, but after that you won't be dissapointed
One thing you forgot in the character screen. I remember that you can get bonus effects, when you equip the right combination of traits? I remember it was almost like a puzzle to get the right traits slotted, so that you got bonus effects.
I had no idea about the alchemy in my first play through. It's nice to have someone explain. I'm restarting it now and taking it slow this time. I'll try to get at least to level 20 doing all the exploration in the first two areas first before I get too serious into the story.
Mark W yeah brother I had no idea at the time either. Just trial and error. I won't pretend to know everything about the game since I still don't. But it's just the simple mechanics that really encourages me to play. How can you have fun if you don't know what your character is capable of, am I right? Enjoy my man.
