I got to the party later than most people, 5 years after launch. Thankfully, though, I finally got the chance to play the trilogy, DLCs included, and finished them all back to back carrying saves over. The Witcher 3 is truly massive. It may not be everything a CRPG can be in the same way DOS2 I am told is, but what it is is an amazing experience. The world is enormous, varied and fully realized. I really enjoyed how much the feel of it changed from one region to another and how you will spend enough time in one place to soak in the atmosphere. Just the base game feels like a multi-season top budget, ambitious TV series. Its enormity may come at the expense, though of some of the established mechanics in previous games. It makes sense that character development feels just incremental, starting with the base versions of everything (and I'd have to replay it with a different build to really say how much it changes) in the third iteration, but it makes it feel less RPG-like than 1 and 2 in that sense. The economy of the game also always has you on a tight budget, but more in the way of buying, selling, repairing and enhancing gear than with potions and oils. In 1 and 2 it used to be a ritual, which I prefer, as in 3, you never run out of oils and recharging potions is never really an issue. But as I say, I can understand where that comes from, and it's the open world element of it and the scale of it that makes those mechanics come second. At least I never felt the game was Ubisoft-iziced, despite some copy-pasted chores. That's because the missions are all fully realized, with excellent writing and production value (which make some graphical glitches all the more jarring). Some apparently minor quests will suprise you with how interconnected everything is. Even if mechanics wise some are simple, the C&C gives a unique experience. It's also to me one of the few truly adult titles: choices are hard, morality grey... but still there's endearing moments and beauty.
