I highly recommend to play it with HOS & BW. I was completely obsessed with the game, I spent 200 hours on it, exploring every little corner. Once the game finished, I felt quite empty since the story push you through so many emotional lifts if you engage your self into it. I have been almost 20 years gaming, it's a rare feeling. The only one that gave me the same is maybe some of the elder scrolls. The game is running butter smooth on a proper configuration (i7 6700k, gtx1070, 144hz screen. I set my own fps cap to avoid high to low fps modulation even with a gsync screen, I advice 90 for this config). The french version of the game is exquisite, it's actually the best one I have ever heard. The voice and text are of a stunning quality depth and vocabulary diversity. The Soundtrack is also quite an ode to video games players. Usually 1-2 tracks are of admirable quality in great AAA games, for the witcher 3 it's literally a large dozen. My only regret : the modding tool are too limited to allow a real community making new quests. I doubled my hours on most elder scrolls with it, it will apparently not happen for the witcher 3 (like witcher 2) :( So once you are done, you are done. (the ng+ didn't felt like a good idea for now). In anyway, I would like to thank CD red projekt for this impressive adventure. You definitely did set a new standard in the PC gaming world. Like there was a before and an after morrowind/skyrim, there is now an after witcher 3 ! I hope you will release another game in the witcher universe with at least the same depth before 2020 :D
