I just finished this game last night. Read a bit about it beforehand and it was suggested to play on a harder difficulty. So I just started on the hardest mode, death march. Got really hooked, both because of the difficulty at first and because of the rich story telling. Let me tell you, the rich story telling gets really fucking old at some point. Holy fuck, it just goes on and on and on.
> 10 minute dialogue about the relationship between 2 sorceresses.
> Cutscene ends and I get a mission quest for the main story. No skipping.
> Get a bottle of wine
> Pour some wine into a glass
> Bring it to Yen
> A new cutscene begins
> "Anyway, as I was saying Geralt. You really must spend some more time with Ciri. She´s at a very impressionable age and she looks to you as her father, whether she understands it or not. You really must take her to the circus.
> Cutscene ends
> New mainstory quest begins.
> Take Ciri to the circus.
I spent 82 hours finishing the main story and I think I will also play and finish the 2 dlc´s that I already bought and downloaded, but I would not recommend this game to people. It´s too much padding and overly long out drawn conversations about nothing. What is even worse, it´s bad game design. You basically get xp on the main story. Well I went to some Islands with vikings when I was lvl 11, the game did suggest me being lvl 14 or 16, but I went anyway and did that part of the main story. So I come back to the main continent as lvl 20 or so. Now I need to do another part of the main story, suggested to do when you are lvl 10-12. Many many hours of me playing as lvl 20 doing lvl 10-12 quests and storyline that can´t be skipped. That´s bad game design, they could just have done it so I couldn´t go to those islands to begin with before I had finished the lower levels mainstory.
