By the standards of a mid 2010's RPG from Poland, it is definitely one of the best. By the standards of a AAA billion dollar RPG, it puts a ton of other AAA billion dollar RPGs to shame
What about the game do you think is particularly special? I’m new to the series and started it a while back, but nothing grabbed me in the first 30-40 minutes. I’ve always wanted to try it again, but is it a game for people that enjoy Skyrim-style open world games rather than narrative-driven ones?
I think part of it is how well thought out the world is, characters have understandable motivations and monsters have weaknesses that are easy to guess/remember
So good world building? I’m not surprised considering it’s based on a novel series. I think for me I’d just like a clear narrative track to follow rather than the player-driven flow of Skyrim. I get bored so quickly if it’s down to me to find the fun 🤣
Nothing grabbed you? IIRC in 30 minutes we're treated to a kickass CGI battle, moderately impressive mountain vistas and a well designed Kaer Morhen, hot Yennefer, hot Geralt, some Wild Hunt omens, a fight with some goblins, a griffin.... yeah that's a lot!
Damn I must have been playing at a snail pace, I cannot remember a griffin! 🤣 I do remember hot Yennefer tho 😙 that’s one reason I want to give it another go 😏
Arron is one of those accounts you type in the Handle in the search bar for, rather than hoping they'll pass by just scrolling the timeline. You're so right man and I gotta replay that game early 2025 🔥
I gotta be honest and say as a person who must clear off the map, I still haven't beaten 3 because I get to Skellige and see all those POI's light up on the map out in the ocean and get overwhelmed. And like I know that there's nothing in the vast majority but i gotta pick up the shiny
It's my favorite game ever. The story is so fantastic, I remember missing my friends when the main quest was over and they didn't talk to me anymore. 😆
That's what people say. I've tried getting into it twice but i never got hooked. I've just started again before Christmas and this time i will at the minimum complete the story and the DLC's
I just wish the character build options actually mattered. You can go into it hoe er you want but you’re always playing exactly the same stories with the same play style
Weeeelllllll, your "build" is "Witcher", who are supposed to be acrobatic spellswords. So you fulfill that role pretty handily! Not like you're expected to pick up full plate mail and claymores
As far as I could tell it wasn’t all that. The combat is clunky, and even picking up loot is really awkward, and the premise, that he’s following his girlfriend as if she can’t look after herself, when she obviously can, is sexist. I wish I’d played it soon enough to get a refund.

Just gimme a hug man
Cannot wait for TW4. To ease the agony of waiting I’ll replay the other Witchers another million times 🤣
Super excited for it too 🙌
