My Witcher 3 main plot progression has stalled. Slightly. I’ll leave you to guess as to why. Only finally went to Skellige because cards.

All I can say about witcher 3 is F$#@ GWENT.

I had the approach of “well, not really getting it, but maybe I’ll try anyway for the cheevos - maybe if I have time”. Then I suddenly started getting the flow of it, and got a few good cards and cheap combo cards and went mad with power. MUST TROUNCE ERRYBODY

I finally figured out how to enjoy that game. Open Steam, right-click, uninstall.

I really wanted to like it but...

YEah, I don’t get it. And I don’t want to.

It’s funny - Witcher 3 throws *waay* too much at you to start with, so there’s interface mush and about eighty things going on and you try to remember it all at once... The first time I played it, I got like four hours in and was struggling to “look through the fog” so to speak. Then I went several months without playing it, came back to it... and it opened up. I remembered enough of what I was doing and how things worked that the learning curve wasn’t in the way of playing the game anymore.

I think my problem was that I couldn’t get into it. Games like that are essentially self-insert fantasy and I don’t see myself as a whiny older dude who bangs randos and is sad all the time because he is tired of being awesome... or whatever the plot was.

Also there was a shit ton of callbacks to the first two games and I didn’t understand any of it. (Having not played the first two)

What I would have loved was the same game but done Elder Scrolls style where you have control over the person you’re playing as.

I absolutely prefer RPGs with do-it-yourself characters. That being said, Geralt can be played as anything from witless manwhore to Boring Dad or the Only Sane Man, and the writing supports it pretty well regardless.

It’s also the case that with the high asshole quotient of the game world, Nice Heroic Geralt has to be extremely wary when being “nice” or world events go very, very wrong. I played Witcher 2, so I did have a little bit of an idea what was going on.
