I sank hundreds of hours into the Witcher series, and I can honestly say that TW3 is the best RPG ever made. First of all, it's HUGE. Velen, Novigrad, Skellige - each one of those three areas is roughly the size of Skyrim, and each is packed with details and interesting characters. And there's Toussaint (Blood and Wine), which feels like a monster-ridden vacation to Italy or France. The story is extremely satisfying. You are not the One. You are the opposite of the One, a mutant, an abomination in the eyes of the Eternal Fire. Yet, your actions are what makes the world go round. There are no "some ___ stole my ___, go to a goblin cave, fetch it and be done with it" quests. If a quest asks you to fetch something, be ready to unfold the real and horrible story behind it, maybe remove a curse, and/or kill the quest giver based on whatever. There are contracts, which will have you kill legendary monsters. There is A LOT OF STUFF. The bottom line is, TW3 is well worth the money. Also, get the first two, there are many characters in TW3 that are first met in TW and TW2, so playing the first two games will help you understand who you're actually dealing with. Plus, they both have excellent storylines as well. PS. I hate portals.
