TO EVERYONE WHO HATES FALL DMG

[Hamzer the Conqueror (of lands)]

Press jump right before you hit the ground. This may seem obvious to some but I've seen a lot of people who don't know that there is an easy way to avoid losing half your health by jumping of a curb. If you press jump before hitting the ground, Geralt does a tuck and roll that absorbs all fall damage. If I helped you out, you're welcome :)

True. But I still think it should've been more obvious. Like WAY more

You cannot use the roll from ANY height though; there's a still point where Geralt can fall too far, and no matter if you hit spacebar at the right second or not, he'll still die.

Actually several threads were created complaining about this and many of us posted on it saying exactly what you did in your thread and they basically just kept moaning and groaning about how this sucks and it should be fixed.

Sometimes we're all just wasting our time trying to help folks.

I've seen many of those aforementioned threads. I'm just hoping people see this thread and have one less reason to dislike the game.

I know, but I'm talking about feasible heights. It makes sense that Geralt dies if you fall from too great a height. But people always complain that Geralt loses half his health when jumping down the stairs or some other tiny height

Sometimes Gerald dies falling from 2 meters though...

If you tuck and roll he won't. Unless you glitch out or something which, sadly, this game has a lot of. Still love it though

And let's be honest; Geralt can jump down a flight of stairs without taking damage. If you did that in real life you'd probably get hurt. It may SEEM like he dies from tiny heights but when you scale it with real life, it's pretty amazing. I'm not talking about the fall damage he takes without doing a tuck and roll though. THAT'S just ridiculous

LOL, worried about fall damage on curbs? Has to be an extreme exaggeration.

I only worry about fall damage on mountains, and it's easily dealt with via just finding a suitable slope and foot skiing down.

U wot? If you don't tuck and roll you take fall damage from ANYWHERE

I don't know about that. I've taken some pretty huge jumps off of cliffs and mountains and survived thanks to that roll.

But of course I still can't run down a flight of stairs without tumbling all the way down. Sometimes I can't even manage to walk down them without going for a tumble.

Yes, CDPR at its finest.

Hmm... you only have a chance to fall down the stairs if you are running down on those stairs, you know, just as in real life?

If you go down the stairs in walking mode, your chances to fall down are almost non-existent. Just as in.. yeah.. you know...

Walk down the stairs in the crypt where you meet Regis in Blood & Wine and try to not fall. I dare you :).

Also, if you can't run down stairs without falling, you may have a serious problem with motor-control. I would run up and down stairs every day when I was training for cross-country without falling. Ever.

I think I have fallen down the stairs once >.> am I doing it wrong?

Maybe a lot of places, if you're pretty clumsy and don't pay attention, but off "curbs"? What are you smokin? Must be powerful stuff.

Obviously I was joking, but you have to admit not being able to jump from a greater height is a bit limiting :(

[Hamzer the Conqueror (of lands)]

I don't nitpick this game. I love it. But this is a bit of a clear issue. They really should've made he tuck and roll more clear
