Oh yeah, and one of the tips during a loading screen says “During the Time of White Frost, do not eat the yellow snow.”

If you find yourself engrossed in the dialogue and character interactions, then yes, it is well worth doing everything. All quests have spoken dialogue, often some have some kind of player input to affect the results, so if you see a !, do it.

This game is an absolute pleasure and should be the standard every open world game made in the future goes by.

It's like Skyrim with good storytelling and combat.

It is, but better. There are the same old side quests where you just have to find a nest of monsters, clear out the monster’s nest, and blow it up, but there are also literally hundreds of side quests with scripting and story. Even the treasure search missions involve reading books, finding out about hidden treasure,…

Except with Skyrim the voice acting wasn’t as good, many of the locations did not have quests associated to them, and most quests just ended and had no impact in the world. So many quests in Witcher III have some impact on the world, such as additional merchants being available, continuation of lives of people you…

I felt that Dragon Age Inquisition was a huge game, but the world felt empty and boring in some parts, but The Witcher 3 doesn’t seem that way to me, lots of quests and stuff to do. I haven’t felt a.d.d in a video games since maybe Red Dead Redemption.

Not really. Skyrim gets really repetitive after a while because you do the exact same things over and over again. There aren't really any fetch quests in Wild Hunt, and those that do exist are hidden by excellent storytelling. Can't really compare the two.

I want to put a feeler out. Does anyone else find it extremely frustrating to control the character? Combat feels fine, but basic navigation and exploration feels terrible to me.

“Surely you’ve noticed that Geralt looks like the leading dude of a trashy romance novel, yeah? I can’t be the only one that pauses at Geralt’s obsession with slathering oil on stuff, right?”

Bitch please.

Her work. Hiromu Arakawa is a woman.

I was having trouble with the first bear I saw in White Orchard but then I started using Ingi and that did massive damage. Bears be flammable in this game.

I've encountered them 2 levels above me, 7 when I was 5, and had no problems. Really slow moving and easy to dodge.

It’s the exact same guy, actually.

Stop using that meme. You dont know how to do it properly.

How the fuck did this kid do all this terrible stuff without a face? Seems like it would make the phone calls difficult.

U mean that boar from Prince Ashitaka?
