Lol, every Witcher contract youn mean? And they are exact same thing? Dream on mate. - Talk with quest giver - Go to the place where person x was killed by the monster - Use witcher senses to follow monster tracks - Kill the monster - Return to quest giver for reward. Keep lying...

There are ups and downs. I have come across some side quests which were really fun and intriquing. But there were also the more simple fetch quests. Just for the record, while we are defending The Witcher 3's side quests, can we please remember that every Monster Contract was literally the exact same thing every time. Lol, every Witcher contract youn mean? And they are exact same thing? Dream on mate.

What are you talking about? The main story has nothing to do with the terrors of colonization. Have you played enough? Also, it would be impossible to convey any proper ethical or emotional responses with this writing or facial expressions. Have you actually seen them? They wanted a clean slate because they completely messed up. And now they make us "fight for a new home?" Really? It is ludicrous, I tell you. But if you like it, more power to you. To be fair, BW might have INTENDED for all those deep topics to be in the game, but just as on the technical side, they just couldn't pull it off. Yup the religion discussion with you scientist is real dear stuff but totally ruined by Saturday cartoon style dialogue. BW is simply could not put off relatable character at the monument.

Waiting still for my copy of MEA.Supposed to arrive today . I was playing TW3 a few days ago.I have like 100 hours in the game but still half way through the main storyline because I am loving the side content so much...and I am a person who avoids too much side content. But I am amazed at how it hasn't ended up tiresome. For example, I set out to complete a Witcher Contract.Contracts are usually given to you by generic NPCs.This time, Geralt had a beer with the guy and talked a bit.He seemed like a good bloke.AFter the contract was completed,without wanting to spoil much ,that NPC who gave me the contract -dies. And I am there...Shocked and fweling sad because that minor NPC died.After that , events triggered from his death And I was suddenly I found my self and drawn into a whole new side quest and I was like WTF...This is what an adventure looks and feels like. If MEA has any hint of this type of interconnectivity between side quests and NPCs that I will actually care for...Then I will love the game. Sorry to say the quest quality in MEA is no where near TW3, both main and side quest wise.

Play it ASAP with Dlcs HoS and BnW. TW3 for me is he legendary RPG on par with BG2 and Fallout 2. Especially its writing and characters is right next to my favorite RPG for all time - planescape torment. Just finished blood and wine and somehow it stomps the base game. its the best expansion ever. Hearts of stone had some pretty epic shit going on too. HoS is the most epic story I ever experienced in any RPG. The writing is super, and Gaunter O'dimm, the best vilain ever. Super bunnyhop made a video of HoS sums pretty much everything I try to explain.

Yeah, Ryder's Dad was awesome - damn we should have had at least a few more missions with him. I have a feeling he will make a return though, later. Since I don't think they found his body. But still... He wasn't convincingly awesome. How the heck could he do all these things? Nothing is explained. This is exactly the problem, no explanation no interaction, bang dad is gone so young Ryder is the hero now, deal with it;(

I've got the base game but haven't bought the expansion pass yet. Definitely will do it with the expansions. Do the expansions fit well into the game from the start, or do you have to reach a certain point before they're available? Finish the main game first, then HoS best story in entire serious follow by a beautiful dream in Toussiant... You are in for a treat!

Ryder's dad is a much better and relatable character to explore. Given his rich story (N7) in milky way and potential interreaction with Shepard's team. It will be interesting to establish the whole andromeda initiative through his eye. Current MEA just throw player into a broken story arc with no motivation, no objective and no even a believable 'enemy'. So BW did the whole misunderstood hero rise to power defeat prime evil while fetching 5 goats for the lazy farmer/colonialists thing with Saturday morning cartoon level writing. Yeah, Ryder's Dad was awesome - damn we should have had at least a few more missions with him. I have a feeling he will make a return though, later. Since I don't think they found his body. But still... Because he is he only bridge we have to somehow link anything in MEA to Milky Way, then BW decide to kill him in first mission. Brilliant character development I said.

Confused. They said we'd be getting quality side content but once again my journal is filled with tedious fetch quests that I have to complete to earn nexus points and get perks to boost my credits and resource gathering........ Seems like they'll never learn. I don't have MEA, but I do know Bioware games. They've never impressed me with attention to detail. It's just not to the level of what CDP puts in. That and quests are kind of related, you know? You have to set the bar high and sink the resources into it. I thought TW2 had a lot of attention to detail, and if TW3 has that and more, then CDP is probably in a class of their own right now. I have TW3 but haven't played it yet. I know, I should be ashamed of myself. Play it ASAP with Dlcs HoS and BnW. TW3 for me is he legendary RPG on par with BG2 and Fallout 2. Especially its writing and characters is right next to my favorite RPG for all time - planescape torment.

To an extend, but My Ryder is more like a space nanny whose job is babysitting every one/everything. OFGM, I miss Geralt's cynical jokes like 'yeah, what do I know, im merely a witcher! So, pay up!'. The biggest problem for me is MEA's story fail in delivering a believable motivation for PC to do anything. Shepard's mission is to stop reaper at all costs. The danger is well 'shown' not 'told'. Pressure is constantly building up hence, Hence the motivation is well grounded. In contrast, no one really knows WTF pathfinder is and why! So the PC's motivation is empty and pretentious. YES...AGREED!!!!! Also Ryder is super casual about everything and doesn't have much power or a personality yet, unlike Shep. Ryder's dad is a much better and relatable character to explore. Given his rich story (N7) in milky way and potential interreaction with Shepard's team. It will be interesting to establish the whole andromeda initiative through his eye. Current MEA just throw player into a broken story arc with no motivation, no objective and no even a believable 'enemy'.

It kinda feels like a Colonization game, not a Mass Effect game. And it VERY MUCH feels like Dragon Age in Space, which I think is taking the ME series in the WRONG DIRECTION!!! Go back to the ME2/ME3 roots and make ME4 in Andromeda just like the previous titles! To an extend, but My Ryder is more like a space nanny whose job is babysitting every one/everything. OFGM, I miss Geralt's cynical jokes like 'yeah, what do I know, im merely a witcher! So, pay up!'.

P.s. Published a game without real ending is clearly BW trend now, so wait for the discounted GOTY, otherwise you still have the spend 20-40 bucks on rubbish clothing DLC etc.

Don't believe it if you don't want to. It is what it is. Kek no. Maybe it gets better but everything on Eos and Harvarl isn't what I'd call quality content. Given PC he became the pathfinder/ universial nanny since first mission, daily chore is more suitable for the tittle.

Wait for 40-50% discount. Given current content of the game, 25% discovery by is way too overpriced.

Lol, still remember the 11GB TW2 enhance edition (patch). It basically re-do 30% of chapter 2 and 60% of chapter 3 with new characters story lines, game modes and much better overall experiences with the price tag of $0. I don't. Why? Because most people have moved on. TW2 will largely be remembered for its notorious performance issues and the 'supersampling' feature that was supposed to future proof the game and push modern hardware. Sure it's nice that they still continued to work on it bigly and all, but they also have the benefit of owning only one IP. The good thing is that they have more time to focus their time and resources on the franchise. The bad thing is that the future of their company pretty much rests on that franchise, so they sort of had to fix it up or people would have permanently lost faith in them. While it would be nice for EA/BW to do this somewhere down the line, it is mostly wishful thinking, and comparing apples to oranges. Indeed, TW2's failure just happened to save CDPR from bankruptcy, established loyal fan base, and tune out the fantastic RedEngine 2.0 and eventually lead to the legendary TW3. I would pay for any failures from CDPR since TW2.

Wish their fans had followed the example. I'm yet to see another fandom so obsessed with preaching and propaganda. Hell, if we had that old BSN it would've been stormed by the Witcher Crusade after 21.03. You, good sir, are just another perfect case in my statistics. E.g. WoW fans love WoW, they play (guess what?) Wow. They dont' go to SWTOR, SW or NwNO forums just to inform people that games of their choice suck( and so are the players). Mass Effect fans love Mass Effect. They don't flood Mars.Warlogs\Technomancer or Destiny forums, they play their game. Witcher fans?? They would visit all of the mentioned above (+ some more). WoW players are not mad ex-TOR players. Witcher players on these boards and the old BSN are all Bioware players. People like seboist, dutch, or slimgrin never forgave Bioware for the horrible betrayal of starting making games they don't like. So now they feel the urge of sticking it to Bioware and anyone who likes them in some sort of silly payback. Actually I haven't seen seboist in a while. Maybe he was able to move on. Something ends something begins... BW discriminates its own fanbase as toxic while completely ignores any feedback since DA2's failure. So yup, thank god for CDPR!

It'll probably be on GOG in two weeks. I hear Witchers are good at solving problems, so I think you could cure my ignorance on this What is GOG? Good Old Game - GOG.com, the home of most awesome games like BG 1&2, Fallout 1&2, Theme hospital etc. All products are DRM free version, so you don't need constant internet connection to play a game on the hard drive. They also use local price system, so all and all it is great.

When you find Eskel sleeping in the courtyard, Lambert (I think) will suggest to make a phonecall to the lodge in order to get some girls over. All you need to do is respond that it's an "ingenius idea" (which of course it is ). At least that's what happenend for me. Not sure if it's also dependent on other parameters but I don't think so (at least, I can't come up with any that might impact this scene). Had the same problem. But don't worry, there is no out of place dialogue. Heart of Stone works after the ending and Blood&Wine even takes it into account if you play after the main story is over (see below). Re: the megascope - that explains it. I had Geralt decide that enough was enough after they found Eskel passed out in the yard. Thanks for letting me know about the DLC. I'll probably just focus on the main quest between now and when ME:A comes out so I can finish that part. I don't generally like to have playthroughs of more than one narrative-heavy game going at once, but hopefully it won't feel too unusual if I'm occasionally dropping back in on Geralt to do shorter quests. Yup, you just miss the tale of three drunken witchers, the best tale in all northern kingdoms!

I just finished Hearts of Stone for the first time. I don't think awesome even begins to describe it: it is easily the best part in the entire series. More than makes up for the main story of TW3 being kind of crap You did good, CDPR. You did good. Best writing quality in RPG.
