I really loved the Witcher 2, but something about the Witcher 3's main story just felt boring. After tracking and fighting some incredible beast in a one hit kills duel to the death atop a mountain in a raging storm, big city bandits and henchmen, soldiers, of course they're just punks. I've been playing them all when light red in between story quests and it makes the more laid back story more fun. I think the game is designed with the Witcher Contracts being the combat challenge of the game. At the end of the day though it just comes down to how much you like the characters and writing. I do think dialogue decisions are input, and they can be fairly meaningful in this game. Exploration, detective work, talking, that's the Witcher how I play it. That's what the Witcher is about to me anyways. I definitely feel differently, and really enjoy how heavy the main quest lines are conversation wise. I've never played a game differently I don't think, and usually I enjoy the pace.Īll games of this length drag in places but your main complaint is just design disagreement I think, as well as not enjoying the story. I'm loving the main story but I've been mixing it up with quests and random exploration. Is this what I can expect from here on out? Please tell me that it starts to pick up the pace soon. And man, could you be less creative with camera angles? This game is screaming for some wide shots and creative camera work. It's actually kind of disheartening to see that games with a story focus still lean so hard on conversations with barely any input from the gamer. The core gameplay loop of conversation, exploration, investigating and fighting has been really fun, but now it's only conversations and cutscenes.

It doesn't really help things that I've done so much side content that I'm pretty overpowered, and all fights are incredibly easy. Is that just how this story plays out? Constantly looking for other people? Same thing in Velen with the Baron's family, and the witches.Īnd man I feel like things are at a stand still.


Now I'm not just looking for Ciri, but Dandeloin and Whoreson as well. Now that one dude has me investigating the robbery of his vault, and the other thread has me finding some dude named Whoreson. I'm at the point where I just met those underworld crime bosses in Novigrad. It's basically just "the princess is in another castle". After a pretty great start, I have to say that The Witcher 3's main story is starting to drag like crazy.
