You know that feeling when something's well known as a really great example of its type and it's been around for years, but you've only just got around to it and you want to tell everyone how impressive it is, except there's no way to avoid sounding like "There's this really cool band, and they're called The Beatles"?
@Spinybadger Feel free to rave about it to us anyway! It is awesome and love talking about it all the time :D
@Haybop86 Having missed a few quests because I took a while to understand everything and couldn't be doing with Gwent, I'm not taking a completist approach - this time, anyway.
Exploring is fun, and I intend to be more thorough in future playthroughs, but it's the story developments that really hook me. The Bloody Baron's family issues, or finding out who/what attacked Priscilla - they were wild rides.
When I'm exploring, I can happily stop, save and come back. It's when I'm deep in a story quest that I end up late to bed.
@Spinybadger Honestly - Gwent can go do one imo - I can NOT get on with that game or understand or feel a way to care enough about that darn game 😂
The rest of the quests I am in love with, and sometimes after work just going on and attacking the monsters is a good way to release anger 😎 Glad you're having so much fun with it too! ❤️
@Haybop86 I don't dislike Gwent exactly, but it's no Triple Triad. (Ooh, that dates me!)
And once I realised I'd need to win a powerful card from the Baron having made no deck-building efforts to that point (and therefore being soundly thrashed), I decided not to worry about it for now.
@Spinybadger OMG the geography is amazing! Like I thought I was sidetracked a lot in the first 2 Witcher games but I have yet to actually find Ciri and already have well over 100hrs and almost all the quests on the maps done :O It's just so beautiful I need to explore everywhere!!
