    I don’t think it’s very hidden^^ Great game though, I’ve replayed it a few times to try out different things

      hidden

      A little tongue-in-cheek :P

      I’ve been doing everything (except for Gwent) so I don’t know if I can fit a second playthrough, there are very few things I could do differently, for example focusing a bit more on Gwent, using non-witcher gear and upping the difficulty. I could also try it unmodded, but after playing with W3EE it’s unlikely that the original combat system would satisfy me. Well, it is too early to decide anyway, I estimate I should have more than 100h left, give or take haha

        Hmmm, I never tried mods. Combat is the one major weakpoint of the game, maybe I’ll try W3EE one day

          Modded combat adds so many layers to it and witcher contracts finally feel like proper boss fights, you need to prepare for each of them in a different way because without the right potions and oils it’s unlikely you can succeed (unless, I don’t know, you’ve beaten all Souls games with ease). The major downside of it is when you encounter large groups of enemies, because you don’t have the time to recover. Popping a potion or an oil after your first death definitely helps, though, but it breaks immersion a little bit haha

          Anyway, highly suggested
