The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released back in May of this year, many people will have managed to plough through the games main story and have the game completed by now. This does not stop you from going back and stepping into the boots of Geralt of Rivia and exploring the lavish and detailed world that developer CD Projekt Red took great care in creating.
A recent update has been released for the game (game is now version 1.07) that will see a few tweaks to the game but also some great features that were not available previous to the update. The update does come with a massive 7.3GB file size, it is the largest patch update to the game to date and
- A Stash feature has been added allowing friendly locations to contain a chest for Geralt to store weapons, armour and other items. The advantage of the stash chest is freeing up room in the player inventory and not becoming over encumbered with unnecessary items when exploring the world. Any item put in a stash chest will be able to be obtained again from any stash chest as they will all be linked and share items.
- A minor update to the way items are displayed show some item categories swapped around to optimise their relevance. Also books now have their own separate section on the menu instead of being bundled in with inventory items.
- Books will now display an on screen message alerting the player if the book has already been read, this means the player will have already gained the knowledge from the book.
- Armour and weapon levels seem to have been increased to stop players using Witcher gear early on in the game and rendering most in game armour useless in comparison. If you player is wearing Witcher armour when you apply the update (my character was wearing advanced Griffin Armour) you will be able to wear it, though if you removed the armour you will not be able to re-equip it unless you meet the level requirements. I have learned this the hard way with now not being able to wear my armour until I level up a fair bit now.
These are to name but a few of the fixes in the 1.07 update to the game. If you wish to see the entire list of updates then you can find a link to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – 1.07 update HERE.
The Witcher 3 is available now on Xbox One.
