Multiplat The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Tales of a legendary card playing, camomile drinking adventurer

[Atavistic]

I finally got to a stage where I can kill a few guards. Those dicks have been dogging me every time I step into a city. Now they must burn.

the first step towards an empty and meaningless life: I've finished the main game.

Spoiler

Got the ending where Ciri becomes a Witcher. Didn't assassinate Radovid though, so that *er won the war. Although I did get Cerys on the throne and she seems nice

It's funny because the game is so massive you feel like it will never finish. But now that I've finished the main game, the prospect appalls me. Fortunately I have both DLCs in their entirety, but still.

Viva Geralt

The DLCs are superb.

yep and thank god (otherwise known as CD Projekt!) for them

Given the size of the DLCs (think of them more as classic expansions), completing the main story and a decent chunk of side stuff probably only puts you just past half way. Still so much more to go. Blood & Wine is also just the perfect dessert, best left until last.

In some ways it's a shame the game is so long. I'd love to relive the experience as the story was just masterfully crafted, but committing to spending so long playing a game that I've already played again is a tough sell for me.

yep I'm saving that one, to be cherished at the appropriate time

I think the replayability of this game is rather high. I'm on my third play through the main campaign and I find it's kind of interesting deciding who gets to live and die and all that, and also how it changes other aspects of the story. There are little snippets of conversation I missed in earlier attempts, like the woman at Crow's Perch who while she's stirring a pot says: "Said one hag to another. Now here's a pretty stunt, I'll shove a rake up your campaigner."

However, on my first two goes I didn't do every quest nor tackle every question mark on the map. I'm trying to do that on my Death March game. I'm even doing all those shitty pirate caches in Skellige which are a pain in the arse.

I felt the ending with Ciri becoming a Witcher was the best. * everyone else, that's where she was happiest.

The ending of the Radovid quest line was disappointing either way, but still worth going back to an old save and killing the arsehole to see what happens.

Spoiler

I got the same ending for Ciri, and reading about the other endings I was very happy that I did

I wasn't as happy with the ending I got to the Radovid questline and kinda regretted the choice I made at the end the further I got into the game

How funny, I heard it last night on my second playthrough.

Some pretty good deals for the expansion pass and the DLC on PSN right now. Is Hearts of Stone worth getting or just Blood and Wine?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I haven't got too far into them but I can say with 100% certainty that you should get both

 

[bulletride]

Blood and Wine is the better of the two but absolutely both worth getting.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

$30 for everything. Makes you weep to get such amazing value. I probably paid nearly twice that and still feel like I got incredible value

I paid full price at launch for all of them and I don't regret a thing.

+1 on this.

Blood and Wine gives you an entirely new region to explore that is simply stunning and probably the best battle of the entire game.

Heart and Stone gets you an appearance by Shani (who is present in the books and previous games) and an some interesting moral decisions

 

[dwwaino]

I can't remember if the level requirement of B&W assumes you've already played through HoS though? Could be wrong, still worth playing both though.

 

[drd23]

The level requirement is ~Level 34 iirc

 

[Lance Uppercut]

35

Like whether to bang Shani.

 

[drd23]

Not much a decision

 

[Donakebab]

Did anyone not bang everything and everyone possible?

 

[drd23]

I never did with Triss because I had seen a little bit about the choice beforehand and had decided not to do anything to * up an ending with Yen

And I never availed myself of the services of any of the brothels throughout the world
