I want to tell a little story that reveals how much love and attention to detail was put into this game. I saw some witch hunters burning a guy outside town when I fast traveled there to do some side quests. I was captivated by this little detail as I was running around the outskirts of the city of Novigrad. I thought to myself, I wonder if I kill these guards if I can use AARD(a wind spell) and blow out the fire. I thought in my head surely this wouldn't work, there was no quest marker, and it was probably just a prop scene that I couldn't affect in any way. I am so glad that I was wrong, not only did I kill all the witch hunters and save the man but it turns out I had met this fellow earlier in the game although briefly. There wasn't even any quest markers, I just thought to save the guards and see if AARD worked. It was at this point that I felt confirmed in my belief that this is truly an RPG that the gaming industry hasn't seen in years. On the scale of PS1 Final Fantasy titles or Legend of Dragoon. With so much love and attention to detail put into the game. There are some bad points, the controls especially on the horse can feel clunky, there a bunch of bugs that still need fixing, but the world is so vast and with so much detail and love put into every inch of it that these flaws are to be expected. I haven't completed the game yet because I aim to do 90+% of it, my original aim was to 100% it, but there is literally so much to loot and so many little things you can miss out on I plan on just doing a second playthrough once I finish this one. Thank you CD Projekt for not making a game motivated by political correctness or by greed, thank you for making an RPG which is a love letter to the genre, reminiscent of old games like Final Fantasy 7 in scope and epicness and love and attention to detail.
