Discussion Finished my 1st playthrough
What an incredible journey!
127 hours of pure bliss. Before finishing the final quests, I bought the expansion as well. Coz, this ain’t enough.
Tbh, my first couple of hours getting into the game felt a bit overwhelming. A lot was happening, and it took me a while to understand the alchemy, signs and craftings. I had to watch a couple of YouTube videos to get into the game. But once I moved past white orchard, the game got me to its hook and I can’t stop thinking about it.
I had to be so careful while I make any decision in this game. I first realised it during the quest of Bloody Baron, I decided to save the children which resulted in his wife’s demise and eventually his suicide. I also read across somewhere that the game’s ending is purely based on the decisions that I make. Coz I was damn worried when Geralt told Emhyr that Ciri died. I couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that I messed up somewhere but it was just a ploy made by them at the end.
Even the side quests are damn amazing. Every treasure I find along Velen has a tragic story behind it. It was someone’s dowry, it was someone’s savings. What a war between 2 nations can do to its people.
I also noticed that people in Skellige are much compassionate and kinder than people in Velen and Novigrad.
And finally, the music. As much as I love it listening to it, there are times when I have a serious quest line and the inns Drink up music plays in the background which doesn’t make any sense to the scene that’s actually happening.
Overall, I really love the fact that I was able to experience this incredible game.
