Posted by3 years ago

New Game+ is a game mode where you start a new playthrough after finishing the main plot of the game. You get to keep your level, skills, and usually equipment as well. You then start the game over, clean from the beginning of the main quest and everything is scaled to a higher level. (Thanks to /u/nycaless for the suggestion to include a description of NG+)
The following is a collections of facts, and FAQ about NG+ for Witcher 3 as well as some theory borrowed from other games from a more general NG+ perspective.
Schaums outline of signals and systems, 3rd edition pdf free. First, what did CDPR say about NG+?
This is from Marcin Momot, community relations guy at CDPR:
Regarding some of the questions that appeared since yesterday, here are the answers.
Enemies will be stronger, obviously.
What carries over? Player experience (if you're below level 30 when finishing the vanilla game, you will be bumped to level 30 for the start of NG+), items (excluding: quest items, books & letters, Gwent cards, usable items, trophies), money and alchemy recipes.
When starting New Game Plus you can select any difficulty level.
You can obtain the Death Match achievement when playing the NG+ mode.
What's the starting level of the character when beginning NG+? The same that you had when finishing the game, if above 30, otherwise you start at level 30. You also get a free Clearing Potion at the start so you can reset your skills and try a different build.
Admittedly that post was a little vague and left some questions.
1. Will _________ item or item type carry over?
2. Wait, what do you mean my Gwent cards do not carry over, that's insane
It is thought that some of the Gwent cards are from subplot quest rewards and as such would need to be won again by completing the quest again in NG+. I know this is a problem for some people and I share your pain to a degree. I think that the Gwent cards you paid good money for from a vendor should carry over. However they will not. Gwent will be a blank slate on your second playthrough and there are no indications that you will be able to combine the cards earned in the vanilla playthrough with the cards earned in the NG+ playthrough to earn achievements for completing the entire collection. If you did not earn the achievement on your initial playthough it appears you will need to collect all of them again on NG+ to get the achievement/trophy/bleep bloop.
3. It appears the base NG+ level is 30, am I over-leveled if I start at 35 (or something above 30)?
Based on 6 hours of initial play it appears that everything effectively gets a 30 level bump in general. If you start at level 35 you will be slightly over-levelled for the playthrough.
There is also this interesting bit from /u/Realityishardmode
One thing to note, when I looked at some of the XML files, is that when you level up past a certain point you no longer gain stats as quickly as other levels. So level 35+ is only a 5 pt attack power increase and 100 vitality increase for example (I dont remember the exact values, sorry) verus level 1 to 2 which is a 25pt attack power increase and 250 vit increase. So really it should not be such a huge deal.
4.What sort of save will I need for NG+?
You will need a post-epilogue vanilla playthrough save in order to play NG+. You will need to load into that game and you will receive an onscreen prompt that NG+ is unlocked. You can then start a New Game from the main menu and during the launch process select the NG+ option which will in turn prompt for a save to load.
5. Will I have to do all of the quests again?
Yes - NG+ in a general sense means 'keep your stuff (minus your Gwent cards), increase difficulty, play the game again'
6. When will NG+ drop?
NG+ will be available on all platforms as of August 18th, 2015
7. Will signposts, waypoints, the map in general reset?
Yes
8. Will this _______ very specific combat mechanic be bumped up, changed, altered, fixed, nerfed, affected, by NG+
It appears that no combat mechanics have been altered by NG+
9. Will NG+ also include a patch?
Answered: Patch 1.08 dropped on Friday August 7th and laid the code groundwork for NG+. NG+ itself is not a patch per se but a DLC that adds features/modes to the game.
10. Will there be NG+ level gear?
Yes, there are 'Legendary' version of Witcher gear which will need to be quested for again. There does not appear to be Legendary version of Alchemy items.
11. Will Places of Power be reset? (Will I be able to get the extra skill points again)?
There seem to be some conflicting reports on how Places of power are behaving in NG+. OP and others have seen Places of Power give Skill Points while others still only get a buff. Given the volume of people reporting they are getting skillpoints for NG+ PoP we are going to say yes here.
Thanks to /u/Magnarof_Thenn
12. Will I be able to complete The Witcher 2 Interview of Choices Again
Yes
As for PC there is an existing PC import function.
Import of witcher 2 save on PC is possible with new game plus, just select it as you usually would when starting a new game. This way you can start with your neck tattoo.
thanks to /u/vladimirpoontang
13. When selecting NG+, do I also select a difficulty? Or is NG+ a difficulty itself?
You will select an existing difficulty. NG+ itself is not a difficulty setting.
14. Can I play NG+ again from a completed NG+ playthrough?
The answer to this commonly asked question is noaccording to Marcin on Twitter. Thanks to /u/skop159 for the catch.
Note: I will be more than happy to add questions and answers or to have a mod do the same if this is a useful post. As additional information emerges I will also update this but am also happy to look in the comments for information that I may have directly missed.
I also intend to start referring people to this post in order to not have to type the same things out over and over trying to be helpful.

Left a review which is mostly made out of compliments, but there sure are a few kinks in the mod.
Edit: July 30th, 2015 - I have reached out to CDPR to see if they can look at this list directly as an indication of the open questions from their community. We will see if anything happens.
Edit: August 6th, 2015 - I was in contact with Marcin directly on the CDPR messaging system and he stated two things worth noting:
To the second point I asked him to consider the 'how to get your game ready for NG+' idea that has been mentioned here so that expectations are properly set without spoiling any new things that might be added to the NG+ mode. If he responds in anyway to that I will update.
He HAS looked at this thread so know our feedback has seen CDPR's eyes.
Edit August 11th, 2015 - Marcin stated 'we're getting there' on Twitter but could not offer a drop date for NG+.
Edit August 12th, 2015 - See Question 14 above. You cannot play NG+ from a completed NG+ playthrough.
Edit August 17th, 2015 - Per Marcin: [NG+] Should be out everywhere by tomorrow. The list of questions is being updated as people provide direct replies to the post informing me of definitive answers.
Edit August 18th, 2015 - Updating questions directly as we discover answers.

Hey I wanted to start The Witcher 3 again, but this time I want to focus on exploration since i focused on story the last time. The last time I played this, I didn't end up exploring that much because I found that I was overleveled to basically all side quests and the majority of the world somehow so it felt like the danger of exploring was taken away. So here I am ready to start over again, but I don't have the slightest clue what I should do. Fresh start, or new game plus.. Im level 32 btw if that matters.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting a New Game Plus mode soon. Being the monster of a game that it is, not everything will carry over.
CD Projekt RED promised fans it will be ending The Witcher 3’s string of free DLC on a high note, and they are. The developer announced recently that the game is getting a New Game Plus mode.
Work is still being done on it, so there currently is no date. But ever since the announcement, the game’s official forums were flooded with fans asking for more details about the nature of mode, what carries over and what doesn’t etc.

Luckily, CD Projekt’s community manager Marcin Momot was on hand to answer a few of those. For players starting New Game Plus with a character level lower than 30, the game will automatically give it bump to 30. However, if your character’s level is higher, the game will keep it that way. You will also be able to reselect your difficulty level.
As for items, everything will carry over except quest items, books & letters, usable items, and trophies. All of these exclusions seem natural, but one other fan-favourite item that’s not carrying over is your collection of Gwent cards.
Finally, you’ll be given a free Clearing Potion at the start of your New Game Plus run. The potion allows you to reallocate all your skill points.
The Witcher 3’s New Game Plus mode is gradually being rolled out. If you’re planning on starting over, you’ll want to know which items you’ll get to keep and which you won’t.
New Game Plus mode for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is now available to download on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 in Europe, with the US following later today. The download is less than 2 MB because you’ve already gotten most of it with patch 1.08.
To make things easier, we’ve gathered all known information about the new mode in one story, to help you keep track of everything that’s carrying over.
