Isn't that just a custom background?

[shaffy_oppa]

Yeah, because a water hag with her sagging tits is what I wanna see when I press up... I think I'll stick to my FFX theme.

Haha, good all. Have a Witcher 3 background on my Xbox One now but it's basically a screen shot saved as the systems wallpaper. Still looks nice though.

Weeping Angels?! I'm too scared to go there now.

Finished visiting the accessible Notice Boards on the second map, which has unlocked some quests and a large number of undiscovered locations. Took my first boat ride in the process. Found some enemies best avoided at my current level (5). Normal enemies up to about level 10 are just about manageable... on easy!

Starting to make progress now on Level 13 and a bit of coin

[Golgo]

Just got this but haven't started yet, wondering what might be the merits/demerits of choosing among the various starting difficulties?

[shaffy_oppa]

Trophies and a challenge? I'd recomend starting on a difficulty above what you'd usually play. If you're on PS4 and die a lot you might be looking at the loading screen a lot.

Also so try and avoid update 1.03 it's caused a no EXP glitch for me so I can't play anymore

[Golgo]

Thanks, shaffy_oppa. I've heard 1.04 is incoming though...?

[shaffy_oppa]

You're welcome, though I wasn't of much help.

Hopefully the update will be out soon.

Up to the Nithral fight. As I didn't want to spend much more time when trying it, I switched the PS4 off when he regained health. Did some research and now know what is involved. Just as well I'm on Easy as the fight is frustrating enough already! I did take down about a quarter of his health with the Crossbow while trying to regain health. Will hopefully do better next time around...

Nithral fight is really tough and testament to the poor difficulty balance of the game. only hit him when he is stunned and use your shield magic frequently. also meditate before you enter the fight so you have max health.

Its easy! Spoiler!

->Open Spoiler<-

Use the NPC (Witch woman, forget her name not played for a week) to your advantage. Keep within dodging distance and when Nithral focuses his attention on her go all out on him from behind! (no pun intended!) After a few combo's you will get the idea of when you need to back out.
