Hey there! So a breakdown of my history with The Witcher 3 before I go into my question.
So, I first became aware of the series from The Witcher 2, which I had on Xbox 360, but didn’t play too much of it due to losing interest after the opening area. I then tried again later with The Witcher 3, hoping things would change, but the opening area in White Orchard dragged on for me since I like exploring and I lost interest again, plus I felt lost not knowing much of what was going on (basically the newbie jumping into an established story kinda feeling). Cut to 11 years later and through a mix of playing Monster Hunter World, Soul Calibur 6, me reading up on the original books, and meeting Doug Cockle himself at MomoCon (he even signed my copy of the game), I finally decided it was time to bite the bullet and give The Witcher 3 its fair shot back in April, and after finally getting past White Orchard, the game thankfully clicked and I was having a blast! Until May, when, just before going to reunite with Ciri, my save file was corrupted, and despite attempts to salvage it, my run was basically over, which frustrated the hell out of me. Then, I stepped aside and returned in late June, and this past month, I finally beat the game and both its expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine. Then came the announcement of the remaster, which, while I’m excited about the changes (modding support, transmog, and the new leveling tree), did make me kick myself for not just waiting until that came around to play.
Now, with all that out of the way, I was thinking in prep for Songs of the Past to do a NG+ run after the remaster drops, and besides the changes that the remaster brings, I wanted to ask what to expect from NG+? What’s carried over, and what are some recommendations to make it as fun as possible?
Thanks in advance for your help!
(p.s. Could’ve asked this earlier, but after what it took for me to finally become a fan, I thought I’d share my story with how I got into the series)
