The Witcher 3

[Fresh Tendrils]

Re: The Witcher 3

I finished Blood and Wine. Overall I think they did a better job developing the "villains," but I'm not sure I could put the whole story above Wild Hunt. Either way I'm sad that this is the end of Geralt's travels. He gave us a lot of great memories, one liners, and adventures.

I've been reading Sword of Destiny this past week and am through A Little Sacrifice. Each story is superb and reveals some different layer to Geralt and the world around him. Its great reading through these stories and becoming even more familiar with the cast of characters that came and went during The Wild Hunt.

Re: The Witcher 3

I decided to cave and re-purchase the game to get the DLC.

Amazing decision. Hearts of Stone was very, very pleasing. I do regret not getting to have a really good fight though. The stage was set and everything, but I choose a different choice. Da well.

There was a fight involving a man with a big black beard that was heart pounding. Very fun. And the villain was amazing.

Blood and Wine is awesome beyond awesome. Really love moving around Toussaint. And they continue to 1 up Dragon Age: Inquisition by having their own moment like in "The Descent" where you suddenly fight a large enemy...and it serves to go "Yeah, monsters here are WAY tougher."

Re: The Witcher 3

Beat this when it first released. Just started my second play through today. Looking forward to enjoying it again on death march and with the expansions.

Re: The Witcher 3

I've never played any Witcher games, nor am I a big fan of RPG's, but all I read about is how great this game is.

Is the GOTY edition pretty much a must-buy?

I was in the exact same boat as you. Picked it up because of all the OS hype and it has become my favorite game ever.
