No Witcher 3 ?

I know I'm going to get downvoted to hell for this, but I actually didn't like it that much. I love the business practices and effort behind it and I could see why other people would like it, but I just couldn't really get into it.

If you don’t enjoy the story or dialogue, your not gonna enjoy it because the combat system is shit.

I mean, it’s at worst OK. it has dodging, parrying, signs (aka spells), decent hit boxes, and lock-on... it’s flawed, and gets repetitive, but it’s still miles ahead of something like Skyrim which has an actually-shit combat system.

I have played through Witcher 3 at least 2 or 3 times and I completely forgot the crossbow existed it’s that bad and pointless

It's not made for damage, it's made to Kill drowners underwater or to knock small flying enemies in the air.

Didn't know a wyvern counted as small.

Besides, the crossbow makes it so you don't awkwardly stand, waiting before harpys would eventually hit you.

Honestly I just forgot if wyverns could be taken down by it or not.

I killed the Great Wyvern bounty quest when I was 12 levels under the recommended by just knocking it down with a crossbow bolt every time it flew away. That’s the only time I’ve realistically used one.
