The Witcher 3 is pretty good

[Space Cowboy]

Years ago when I first tried this game out I hated everything. I was in a depressive spiral: I was myopic and depressed. So no surprise that when I gave this a shot I hated it too and nitpicked it to death. Years later my depression is gone. I saw a thread here about how Witcher 3 is the GOAT the other day and figured I'd retry my hand. Anyways, I got it for Xbox series X with the graphics upgrade and just got to ....Viziien or something after finding Yennefer. Combat isn't as bad as I remember. I'm loving it more because my expectations are more guarded. I don't consider it a real RPG which was what I originally bought into it being and I'm considering it action adventure with RPG elements. I'm enjoying it much more with those expectations. I'm surprised how textual the world building is. Found some hunter and he talked about how he was the boy lover of the King's son. They were found out and then the Prince killed himself, forcing the King into an alcoholic rage and stupor. I forgot a lot of details but I did remember the drunken King during my play and I put two and two together as to how that's how he got to that point. This game is really good at laying hints without going full on with the world building. It does this very well.

Good shyt.

I’m way more hype for Witcher 4 than ES6

Hmmm, I was wrong? Okay so the details at the Empire reveal that they put the Bloody Baron in charge of Velen and he was a common punk they gave the keys to the castle to? He wasn't the gay princes dad?

I like that the game isn't time consuming. For instance you get a bunch of question marks and stuff on the map. You can fast travel to a signpost and just mess around for a few minutes and clear 2 or 3 question marks and then put it up and feel accomplished. Doesn't seem to be one of those games where you have to clear the whole map like Bethesda games or Ubisoft games.

The quests are also surprisingly layered. Met herbalist, she was caring for a girl attacked by the griffin. I made a potion for her that will either save her or kill her - either way, she's going to die so might as well. I come back to the herbalist and the Empire took her. I guess I'll find her on my travels.

It took me a few attempts to really get into the game. I still think the combat is very mediocre, but with dismemberment it was at least visually satisfying. I actually just put the game on easy because I didn't find the gameplay engaging but the writing, quests and voice acting were so incredible that's really what I was playing it for. One of the best games ever, and to this date probably the best DLC content ever released for a game. The side quests were as interesting and engaging as the main story quests. I'm not sure any other game can claim that, aside from maybe something like Baldurs Gate 3.
