Story is amazing though

I think I did myself a disfavour playing witcher 3 first, trying to play this with that in mind was a disaster. Witcher 3 felt more dynamic while this game felt way too slow. There isn't roach to help you travel, you have to find the right terrain to traverse (i.e you can't constantly jump terrains like you did in Witcher 3, for instance there's a quest known as "Place of Power" where the location is at an isolated hill, sadly since you can't climb nor go through bushes it makes the quest insanely difficult to complete. Eventually you end up youtubing some of these quests. Story is amazing though. TLDR: Lot of game mechanics are bad. You're probably better off watching a gameplay or all cutscenes combined on youtube

W3 needs work

The stuff I liked: graphics superb; great characterizations; good plot with some unexpected twists. The stuff I didn't like: maps were almost useless; the QTEs; the QTEs telling me which key and when to press; a game obviously made for consoles and controllers not a keyboard and mouse; too many things were not well explained in the game; while the tutorials have been improved with patch 2.0, there's still a lot of things in the game that are confusing; why do I have to meditate to take potions; why do I have to meditate to look at some of the stats instead of just pressing a button to gain the info; while I could view all kinds of new armor and weapons, there was no way to directly compare it to my existing equipment; why can't I apply runes over top of runes? Make it easier to compare equipment and upgrade it or change it. Maybe after making the first play through, a bonus would be to get lots more money, so you could try out more weapons and armor and more options on equipment. I have nothing against the QTE animations when they provide plot information or summaries that don't fit gameplay, etc. But playing Henslet and just walking him up a path - WTF - what was the point, could have just as easily been an animation. Let ME play the game, not set it up so you can insert some cute animation that I see over and over again. If you want to make a game, make a game; if you want to make a bunch of animations, make a movie.
