The former gold standard
If you buy the game now, make sure to install version 1.32. CDPR went back and implemented raytracing after developing the technology for Cyberpunk 2077. However, just like Cyberpunk, this game will be riddled with visual glitches when you update to any version post 1.32. And CDPR don't seem to care enough to fix those. So, just play the version of the game that became the gold standard of narrative driven, open-world action RPGs. If you haven't played Witcher 2 before, I highly suggest you do, as there are a handful of choices that will carry over and you won't understand particular parts of the plot if you're missing the context of Witcher 2. Chronologically, the games are set in a Witcher universe post Lady of the Lake. Which means they undo a ton of events from the books, and provide definitive answers to questions that Sapkowski purposefully left the readers to ponder upon putting LotL down. The most obvious one being that Geralt and Yennefer are back from the dead. Blood & Wine even revives Regis, thereby completely voiding the gravitas of the sacrifice he committed for Ciri's freedom. There are also some side quests that attempt to tie up loose ends from the books while violating the very simple rules established in said books. And while Witcher 3 acknowledges a handful of choices the player makes in Witcher 2, it ignores the fates of several extremely influential and powerful characters entirely, or only mentions their fates in passing. If the game had cut 50% of its side quests involving random commoners and instead focused on continuing the stories of Foltest's heirs, Saskia and Iorveth, the development resources would've been utilized for a much better end product. This goes even more for Gwent, which is a massive waste of development time.
