It's a pretty game, I'm not too surprised you get that FPS actually. Also some are saying after the 1.1 patch, ubersampling performance has improved greatly. (AKA people can actually use it now)

Just got done with my second playthrough, having played the first one as almost pure swordsman. I must say enhanced quen is pretty fucking ridiculous. I actually thought this game was hard first time when i played on normal, think i died like once on hard when i went down the magic path instead.

Overall very good game, ending was kind of dissapointing though.

For the people wondering about performance with mid-tier PC, I'll post my spec and in-game settings. Personally I think it looks very beautiful with these settings. It looks smooth, feels smooth (for a rpg) and frame rate rarely drops below 30.

It can be dangerous on insane though, because the magic tree don't give much hp. If you get stunned for even ½ a second you can potentially get oneshotted in the back.

My build on insane was improved quen and extra 2 vigor from magic tree. Rest in swordsman favoring all survival talents. Did significantly better than the full magic spec I did on hard.

That was the only spot in the story where the game really started to chug.
The dwarven Inn also had some noticeable slowdown but not too bad.

For my second playthrough I'm using the mod that lets you block how much you want. Gonna try playing without Quen, will probably make the combat more fun because the first time there was no point in using block IMO.

I'm currently using the same build after trying full magic and full swordsmanship and it seems to be the most efficient by far.

I am also wondering if putting 2 early points in improved bombs can be effective, on paper it looks good but I don't know if this would be viable late game.

Even if Quen stunts Vigor Regeneration, there's not to much time inbetween your last Vigor bar and it regenerating after your last Quen dissipates. Sure feels long when you're running around like a headless chicken spamming Q though.

i wouldnt go for guides. if its just about efficiency, go ahead and max quen and win 90% of the fights unharmed.

skill what sounds like fun to you and suites your playstyle.

Sure but then you're only using Quen. By the end of the game I had like 6-8 point in the Sign tree even though I had pretty much everything I wanted from the Sword tree, but when you're using Quen it limits your ability to use the other signs. I know it's a balance thing but I don't think it's that great of a solution.

Maybe I'll try that out... But otherwise, I haven't had a problem going magic-tree (on insane). Only thing that holds me back is a random bug that negates all keyboard + mouse commands

The game was fun, but kinda hard with combat overall. And I hate fighting vs Monsters. The City Siege was so much easy with 3-kill-ending. And when you go for magic, you can just spam Igni like a dragon

I didn't notice much changing regarding the ending depending on your choices. I've played it from both sides and loaded to do all the different end choices. It's still kind of "poff game over" after the other great chapters.
Halfway through my third playthrough now but I don't think my opinion will change.
I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.
