this was $25 for the game + both expansions on GOG yesterday and i just built a new gaming pc so i guess i'm finally going to play it. i avoided it before because skyrim burnt me out on this type of game but it's been long enough now i think, and being able to play it on high gfx settings should be a treat, i imagine.

fwiw witcher 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> skyrim
― Mordy, Thursday, 25 May 2017 16:33 (seven years ago) link
yeah i loved skyrim but this is just so so much better
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Thursday, 25 May 2017 16:36 (seven years ago) link
That's a big promise
― The Remoans of the May (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 25 May 2017 16:40 (seven years ago) link
idk i don't feel any compunction about that claim. witcher 3 eats skyrim's lunch. they're not even close to being on the same level.
― Mordy, Thursday, 25 May 2017 16:41 (seven years ago) link
i know!

skyrim ~feels~ a little more open in that you can design your character, choose to be a certain class w/accompanying storyline, etc, but witcher is so much more polished in every other respect (writing, acting, visuals, controls, etc) that yeah it's really not much of a comparison
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Thursday, 25 May 2017 16:44 (seven years ago) link
stealth archer on Skyrim was cool, don't recall anything similar on Witcher 3
― badg, Thursday, 25 May 2017 16:56 (seven years ago) link
really curious what the next generation of games in this genre will look like, seems like witcher3 and zelda have sent everyone else back to the drawing board
― ciderpress, Thursday, 25 May 2017 17:03 (seven years ago) link
i also agree that witcher is better than skyrim, and i loved skyrim. witcher has more personality and better writing and more variety.

― jason waterfalls (gbx), Thursday, 25 May 2017 17:30 (seven years ago) link
Only gave Witcher a cursory try but it seemed a bit more of a drag to get into than Skyrim, with all the alchemy and potion stuff. Ready to believe that there's an awesome game in there once you get past that but skyrim otoh hooked me from te get go
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 25 May 2017 17:54 (seven years ago) link
tbh my least favorite parts of both skyrim and witcher were the alchemy and potion and crafting stuff.
i love picking spells and weapons and upgrading equipment, but for some reason when it extends into keeping track of 60 different sets of recipes to make marginal upgrades to stats i just get overwhelmed and stare distantly and wistfully.

this was a good choice for breaking in the new pc, the environments look incredible
― ciderpress, Friday, 26 May 2017 14:09 (seven years ago) link
stealthing and sniping is how I always like my characters to live, have only played the first Witcher which I like just fine but it isn't a patch on any Elder Scrolls game and you totally have to tank along and the alchemy is a huuuuuuuge buzzkill
― The Remoans of the May (Noodle Vague), Friday, 26 May 2017 14:30 (seven years ago) link
this is still fun 15 hours in though the combat kinda sucks relative to the rest of the package. i also haven't had much desire to dig into the crafting or alchemy systems, i've just been leveling up quick attack and the magic signs and playing it as a hack & slash
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 16:23 (seven years ago) link

Is the Complete Edition worth getting over the vanilla (and $20!) version?
― Abercromb Metrion Finchos (Leee), Thursday, 26 July 2018 17:54 (six years ago) link
what's the price difference? the extra content is very good but the base game is already pretty huge
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 26 July 2018 17:58 (six years ago) link
Looks like it's pretty easy to find CE (new) between $35 and $40.
― Abercromb Metrion Finchos (Leee), Thursday, 26 July 2018 18:06 (six years ago) link
i'd say if you have the hours to pour into it you can't go too wrong with the CE but i think the 2 expansions were priced at $10 and $20, so you're not going to be enormously punished if you hedge with just the base game
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 26 July 2018 18:32 (six years ago) link
blood and wine is a pretty huge expansion and worth it if youre the type who doesn't burn out on RPGs 50 hours in
― ciderpress, Thursday, 26 July 2018 19:39 (six years ago) link
personally I ran out of steam before getting there
― ciderpress, Thursday, 26 July 2018 19:40 (six years ago) link
yeah i still haven't finished blood and wine. hearts of stone was good though.
― na (NA), Thursday, 26 July 2018 20:00 (six years ago) link
I guess I'm really out of the loop because I've spent two marathon sessions on the game so far even though White Orchard is considered a prologue level. I've barely even scratched the surface of crafting, but that's probably because in still early in the game and I'm missing a lot of key ingredients.
And OMG Gwent, I can see myself easily sinking hours into it.

Regarding possible ways to die, I can think of worse ways than Witcher 3 sidequests.

it took me 2+ years to finish this game and I found myself forgetting the entire plot when I'd pick it back up..

I was a little disappointed after last night's session, because although I'm on the trail of the Bloody Baron's daughter, I did not open any areas with new Gwent players.

you should just get the gwent standalone game! i haven't played it but have heard it's pretty good
