I did find out that Brayden Schenn is a family friend of his. That was new information after all this time.

Classic Rick and Morty fan claiming you have to have a *certain level of intelliengence* what a load of poop. Yes some episodes / parts are funny but the majority of the show is literally screaming and hyper-ADD-ness. Rick and Morty is the Dane Cook of Television shows. When their jokes fail, screaming curse words spastically saves the day.

Wait? JoeG or SSB?

The plot of Witcher 3 is the same as the original Mario Bros. Womp womp, sorry but the princess is in another castle! The writing is long winded and the main protagonist has the charisma of a cardboard box. Good thing that’s exactly what makes the ladies of the realm swoon!

Side quests are equally dumb. Virtually all of them boil down to: use yawr witcha senses! Then follow the trail. Booooorinnnggg.

By the way if you do more than like 5 sidequests unless you crank the difficulty slider all the way up the main quests are stupid easy. My cat could face roll the keyboard and destroy main quest foes.

Then we get to the mini map. Holy icon overlord Batman! A sea of question marks. None of them turn out to be interesting. See Zelda Breath of the Wild for open world done correctly.

Also, as others have mentioned, the combat and inventory systems are a nightmare. As I said before you will be overleveled for the main game so you can face roll everything. And the loot/gear/crafting is so overstuffed that it’s impossible to get excited about anything when it means scrolling/sifting through endless amounts of crap.

Whoever said Vampire: the masquerade earlier gets a star. That game (frank)ing rules. As does Baldurs Gate 1 and 2. Also highly recommend Nier Automata.

agree with both of these points

combat in particular is just straight up bad. even if it's an improvement over the first Witcher installments, it's still lazy and poorly executed. the inventory is a mess of things that seem pretty unnecessary in the grand scheme of things. the story is compelling but the actual gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

I won't act like the combat is the best. Witcher 2 was way worse though. I personally don't mind the potions/oils and flow of combat though. Like it's fine, not great; it's a weaker area comparatively and there's some meat on the bone. I don't mind having to do some research or prep work based on opponent type.

One recommendation is to switch up your builds at various points. I started off heavy signs build early-mid game and got bored. Went alchemy and had quite a bit more fun, especially with the decoctions. Or switching your "Witcher School" gear along with that to vary up combat.

That insult to the story or characters though is BS. I could add that I wish the cities were a little more interactive, along with the exploration at times (where I like ES better, along with combat), but the characters/story/quests (which are the furthest thing from one dimensional repetitive fetch quests) are masterclass.

nothing wrong with the story so far. the lore and depth are wonderfully executed. i'm still a lower level so maybe the inventory is more of an obstacle at this point but i still feel it could have been more user friendly.

combat, even if better than the first two games, is legitimately horrible and that seems to be a recurring theme in the Witcher series from what people are saying. it needs to be completely revamped from the ground up. i loath entering the fray and wish i could bypass it all together on most occasions. i can see where the books would be much more entertaining at this point from a pure story perspective.
