As I sit here with (literal) tears in my eyes welling up.. I've had such an adventure the likes of which I may never see again. Leaving things the way they did.. I bid farewell to possibly the most well crafted RPG/Interactive Story ever made. Mass Effect's overall saga is a close second, but dips a bit in Mass Effect 2, gameplay-wise that is. I have countless hundreds of hours into this series, starting from 1 October, 2015 when I initially set out to "Completionist the Witcher" series, until now, early on the morning of 20 September 2016. I've gained and lost so much throughout my journey, and have lamented as well as celebrated the loss and addition of features, locations, and characters. Price is certainly not a concern. This is a $60 game, no way you cut it. The fact CDPR sells it for $40, plus heavily discounts it from there on a regular basis.. well it just goes to show the type of consumer focus that GoG/CDPR have. My review is of course a bit biased, since I started a completionist run, and have played The Witcher, The Witcher 2, and The Witcher 3, all within a short period of time, to pure completionist levels, saving for 1 quest in 3 that I need not finish. I refuse to kill a creature that is just sleeping and wishes to be left alone, but I am unable to finish the quest otherwise. *Fix this oversight maybe, CDPR?* So, You wanna be a Witcher? Well, dive right in. The Witcher 3, or TW3 from here on out, is a gripping story of a man searching for a loved one, across a warntorn country. But along the way, you're still a Witcher, and you can't just quit the Path. Search high and low, insult kings, impress queens, and set out to finish the goal you've long worked to see set right, as you battle an enemy that is quite out of this world. Grab your swords, Silver and Steel, mount your horse, and ride off into the sunset, or at least to the world's very large edge, where only giants are to be found. But play your way, at your pace, and explore at your peril.
