So I just read this book on history of games called "Blood, Sweat and Pixels" and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a try. Got any advice for me?
Yeah, don't get too hyped up. It's really just a pretty average open world RPG. Playing Gwent is probably the best part, and even that isn't nearly as good as Pazaak.
Don't repeatedly kill the cows in the first village so that you can sell their drops for coins. You can do it once... maybe twice....
Game is huge. Do use cheats for potions or ingredients. Check popular mods that give easy way around cumbersome tasks.
And, if you're like me and always play spellcasters instead of fighters in RPGs, do check some builds after certain level (20s?). Get griffin set of course, do know there are levels for its items.
Explore, do the side quests, pay attention to the dialogue. I found the treasure hunts a little tedious after a while, but you can get some really cool gear. Take your time, you can easily spend 120 hours in one playthrough.
Okay as little Gwent as possible. Otherwise you will get hooked on it until you burn out and stop playing the game entirely because you've forgotten all the storyline and mechanics.
