Opponents seem to be a little harder than in my first playthrough but I'm guessing that this will change once he's past a certain level.

Geralt dies a lot on me - even more frequent than before. So, yeah, there are still challenges, even on a low level of difficulty like "Story & Sword". I had a lot of trouble beating Nithral this time although I knew how it worked, and I still haven't made it past the werewolf guarding the whispering hill during the quest Ladies of the Wood. You get to keep all (superior) oils, potions, bombs, decoctions so no need to search for those recipes.Įven though you start out as an experienced Witcher, you'll find that the first hours of playing are actually as hard as in an ordinary NG - at some points, even harder. You can keep lots of weapons and armours BEFORE starting the NG+ just put them in your inventory or the trunk. Now excuse as I try to pursue a troika with Yen and Triss.In NG+, you'll have to search for weapon and armour diagrams because you lose them all when starting over. Enemies did scale as some had the levels of 40ish and let me tell you, the Griffin still hurt a lot. The game started with my Geralt at level 50 complete with my gear and inventory. When I started the new game plus, I checked my inventory and the game carried over my Geralt’s state from a previous gameplay (Pardon the crappy mobile photo) This somewhat balances accumulated state while still delivering a challenging gameplay if one chooses to play with the Deathmarch difficulty. CD Projekt Red has a fix on this one: Enemies too, will scale in both level and damage depending on which level Geralt is when you start the new game plus adventure. When the new game plus was first announced, many fans feared that it will make the game easier as Geralt will just power through the first areas with all his accumulated state from the previous game. This time, Geralt has his weapons, items, armor, abilities and level when you start the game. This means Geralt is no longer the weak Witcher when you have first picked up the game and stated the adventure. The New Game Plus option was added where players who have finished the game will have the option to start a new game that will grant them all the abilities, items, gears and weapons from their recent finished game state into the new game. The final DLC released for Witcher 3 contains what is perhaps the biggest game changer for the game and its re-playability. We’ve asked for it and CD Projekt Red has heard our demands once again.
