But it is the biggest DLC that they have released for The Witcher 3 to date so far, so why should they not feel free to mention that in their advertising of it if they wish to do so? It's just a piece of factual data about the DLC that they're informing people of, and there's nothing wrong with mentioning facts like that IMHO. I certainly can't see any problems it causes other than if perhaps someone is on 2400bps dialup Internet and would just download the DLC anyway if they didn't know how big it was, but thanks to GOG saying it is the biggest one yet, they decide they can't download it until they upgrade from tin-can and string Internet to something more modern. :oP

Screenshot of the DLC filesizes attached in case there's any confusion though. :o)

I'm definitely looking forward to the larger expansions also and how it integrates into the game as a whole, whether it is separate side quests or expands the main quest line, whether main story choices will effect the new content and/or vice versa, and whether the expansions might also get some free DLC. :)

2 weeks ago I would have said I'd hope they add a first person mode as a stepping stone to adding Oculus Rift support also, but that was based on ancient information suggesting the Rift would come out in 2016 at a cost of around $300. Now that we know the Rift is coming out in 2016 for a cost of more like $1500 USD ($1800 CAD) and that it will require more or less a $500-800 video card to power it though I suspect the market for the Rift just shrank by 3 orders of magnitude and game devs have far less incentive to support it in the near term.

Really a bummer though, I am aching at the idea of playing a first person VR open world non-linear RPG and feeling like I am right in the world. Mind you, some of Geralt's mega fast fighting moves might make one hurl chunks with a VR headset on too.

Anyhow, it's gonna be a long wait for those expansions now. :)

Thanks for the information for future use. You see it seems that the FT is now working again with this last DLC. So what ever they broke with the previous one they corrected with this one.

The DLC does not update the main executable that I've seen. I bet that if you had crashes they were unrelated and just required a game restart or even a computer restart. I've had it happen a few times where something went wonky in the game such as being unable to mount Roach, or unable to draw or sheath my weapon, or Geralt's arm sticking out like he was carrying that green lantern but he wasn't, or a number of other things that the game clung onto incorrectly and I had to exit and restart it completely and reload my save game before the problem went away. I had some other things that weren't solved by that and I just kept playing anyway and eventually in a few minutes or hours the problem went away. No idea what caused any of them other than just "game bugs", but nothing was installed or upgraded during these times which could or would fix anything.

The DLC is just new content and the DLC itself does not appear to have gotten any updates so I can't see how it could cause or fix any bugs of this nature in the game. I'd bet money it is just a random glitch fixed by randomly restarting or perhaps some unexpected and unknown random in game trigger point that "fixes" things magically once it is triggered. Might be as simple as roaming around the map for a while or something.

You could be rightr it just might have been the fact that ithe pc needed re booted and I had re booted a couple of times since that had happened just didn't try FT'ing since the first time. Damn noobie mistake that I know better than to do as long as I've been a pc gamer. LOL

Now as for your info on the DLC's i've never seen Cd say that they would be doing 2 per week on the free ones. I do know that they said there would be a total of 16 free ones. And then the 2 for which some like me have already paid for. LOL Sorry I'm an RPG fan and really have enjoyed the TW serious as well as for the books.

Yeah, I haven't seen any mention anywhere either. I wonder if they have any secret plans to add more DLC later on at some point too, that'd be cool. Mind you I wouldn't want them to divert too many resources away from Redkit 2 SDK development or the expansions either. :)

All right then, I haven´t compared it to the other DLC´s and I thoght we were talking gameplay-wise length, but that´s a fair argument - it IS the biggest DLC yet :)

Now I'm wondering if anyone has yet been back to Kaer Morhen? You see I've got to quest for the wolf school gear they are in Kaer Morhen But you can't fast travel there I already tried . There is no markers in Kaer morhen.

If you can't get there til a certain point in the game then why did they put the gear there? It would be useless by that late in the game. Not to mention that you will only get 5xp for doing the quest cause it's now grey.

Yes, I've been back to Kaer Morhen in my game at least 3-4 times altogether. If fast-travel isn't showing up there might be a bug, save your game and exit it to desktop, restart the game and reload it, I've had that fix a number of glitches in the game over time including some issues with fast travel not working elsewhere although I never had any problems fast travelling to Kaer Morhen personally.

As for the Wolf gear though, and all of the other witcher gear for that matter - all of it is upgradeable in 4 stages. The initial armour is low level, and each one of the upgrades increases the minimum level requirement quite a few levels. The highest end Wolven armor is a minimum level 34 requirement and it is the best armor that exists in the game pretty much when considering not only all of its statistics but also it's weight. I think I found one piece of something that was very slightly better base armor but with crappy stats on it and few if any sockets, plus it was Heavy and useless to me. I used the wolven armor from about level 27 or so all the way to the end of the game and did not find anything better anywhere.

People claiming the DLC armors are useless are either on crack, or they haven't actually bothered to get all of the armor upgrades that are possible and are just missing out. The mastercrafted wolven armor is still useful even if you get it at level 34 or 35 which is pretty much the end of the game, as it is an upgrade over just about anything else you could possibly already have in the game.

The only armor that wasn't useful to me in my own game was the Skellige armor and the Nilfgaardian armor DLC, but in the case of both of those - I already had progressed in my game past the point those ones were useful and already had better witcher specialty gear (feline and ursine gear and later wolven). In a new playthrough of the game, all of the various DLC armor including the base stuff and the specialty witcher gear are going to be quite useful as they all seem to be better than the various default armor you find in the game at any given level from what I've seen. For in-progress games it will depend on what level someone is on when they add the DLC to the game, in which case some of it wont be useful. For example, if someone is almost done the game, then the Temerian armor isn't going to be too useful. However, if you start a brand new game, the Temerian armor is available practically from the very beginning as soon as you can afford it, and it is much better than anything you'll find in chest looting if you scrape together the orens to buy it. Every person's game will be different though as is the nature of a non-linear open world game, so it's likely to vary a bit from person to person and playthrough to playthrough also.

TL;DR version: DLC armor == the bomb

Thaniks for all the information aand I'll try again here in a bit to see if I can access Kaer morhen. When I quit and went to bed around 2 this morning I was just starting a new quest Carnal Sins I'll finish that one there up and then try to go to Kaer morhen again. And as for everyone's game playing out differently that is so true there especially in a game like this here But I will have to admit I for one am enjoying it. The thing for which gets me is how in the hell is some folks already played through the full game already? Especially with all there is to explore in the game? They most not be a completionist like me. When it comes to a game like this here I've got to check everything out. I just wish we had some place to store things.

Yeah, when I heard people claiming they finished the game in 7 days or so I did a double take with my eyes bulged out. There's no way humanly possible to 100% completely finish The Witcher 3 and complete all main quests, secondary quests, witcher contracts, and treasure map quests in 7 earth days even if you play 24 hours a day and don't sleep or do anything else, having someone feed you through a tube and shit in a bedpan Cartman-style. Anyone who finished the game in a week just ploughed through the main quest and ignored half the content in the game. They might not even realize it either, but I suspect they weren't too exploratory.

I played the game every single day with maybe one or two day's break from the day the game came out until about 3-4 days ago when I finished it finally, putting in anywhere from 4-16 or more hours per day depending on what else I had going on. Most people have jobs/kids/family and other life commitment bullshit to not be able to focus on a game like this to finish it in a short period of time. I've got nothing _but_ time and was glued to the game the whole time pretty much, so IMHO anyone who finished it earlier is either superhuman or they don't explore everywhere and see/do every single thing that you can possibly do. I'm like Sherlock friggen Holmes when I play, I look at every blade of grass, rock, etc. and maybe do it several times even. :)

I estimate that I put 250-300 hours into finishing the game, but I can't know for sure as Galaxy has fucked up time tracking so I didn't use that, instead I launched it with Steam for screenshots and FPS counter and video broadcasting, and the in-game time tracking says:

Total play time: 18 days, 20 hours, 17 minutes, 13 seconds

That tallies up to 452 hours, but I left the game running while I fell asleep at least 3 or more times, as well as leaving it running while on long 1-2 hour phonecalls a fair number of times, while making food and eating, and over a few grocery store trips and other life stuff, as well as ALT-tabbing out for hours while reading the forums, facebook and other crap. So there's no way I played it for 450 hours, 250-300 would be a much more accurate estimate. Took me approximately 5 weeks to finish the game, so if I divide 300 by 5, that'd be 60 hours/week or roughly 8.5 hours per day. That seems a bit low though so it's possible I did put in more than 300hrs too. LOL Probably somewhere between 250-350 maybe, hard to say. I do tend to spend on average about twice the time to finish games than the average person according to howlongtobeat.com though too.

Anyway, the only way to have finished the game completionist style by now really is if one has played it like it was a full time 7-day per week job with overtime non-stop, more or less like me. :)

Thanks u. :)

"We don't know whether he's alive or not."

Thanks CDPR, that line kind of saved an otherwise mediocre day. :)

I can't download the new DLC properly. It just looks incomplete.

Would you guys check out the Fool's Gold quest?
I started that when I was lvl 4 and I had to be 10 so I went away.
Now I'm 17 and I have to interact with the pigs. The problem is, I can't.
Unfortunately I'm not the only one having the same issue.

Cant download - gets to 84% and stops.
