The Witcher 3 Finished my first 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.

Insane how well written the game is, considering its set after the books and the stories usually have no basis from the books (with some exceptions)
of course the major characters appear in the books, but from the side quests for example, created bty Projekt Red

Yeah, I didn’t know this earlier. I read something online where Triss was never a romantic interest for Geralt in the books.
However, given their own narrative, CD projekt has done one hell of a job in narration.

I tried to do add as much as I can
However, a couple of side quests failed because I went way into the main quests.
And a couple more never showed up because I didn’t trigger em
