So I bought this on Thursday night and have been obsessed with it since. Never played a Witcher game before, but I've always wanted to dig into the series and the buzz around this one sealed the deal.
So far this has been a terrific experience. I've been working on the Bloody Baron quest line, which has been fantastic. The world building and the stories being told, even in small quests, is incredible. The other thing I like, but am still getting used to, is how nothing is clear cut. To elaborate, none of the choices I've made have been black or white, it's all been gray area. It feels totally different from most other rpgs I've played.
Another thing I'm loving is Geralt. I don't know how he comes off in the other games but I'm finding him fantastic in this one. With the way I've been playing I feel like he's super no bullshit but there is a kindess or at least sincerity to the character that is awesome. From almost minute one I was totally on board with his character and felt like I had spent hundreds of hours with him. All the characters so far, have felt just as well realised.
I'm just blown away by the game. It's so dense in just the right ways that it makes learning about and exploring the world fantastic.
