    The soundtrack and quests in The Witcher III are top tier. In fact, the soundtrack in particular is possibly one of the best soundtracks in any game ever. The "yell" when u complete a quest, the random music playing in pubs and town centers, the battle music that kicks up when approaching a monster, the calming ambience when exploring with roach. This games music and narrative are incredible.

    I played it for the first time during covid, it was a MASSIVE help to keep me sane while stuck inside. Being able to delve into a massive fictional universe was extremely interesting, and seeing this whole other side of fantasy I hadn’t experienced before was truly magical. Since then I’ve become a huge fan of the games, done several in depth prop builds inspired by them, listen to the score daily, and have bought and customized several figures that I admittedly play with often, lol. I am very happy to have had the experience of playing Witcher 3, and I would love to return to it a few years down the line once it leaves my memory a bit more. (I will say though, I am not a fan of the tendentious of gave me in my thumbs, I still struggle with it a whole year later hahaha. Stay safe, friends!)

    I played this for the 1st time a few months ago. And played it on Death March. I died to alot of monsters and enemies and loved every second of it. I loved having to plan for battles using potions and signs. It made the combat feel in depth. I gave this game a 9.5 out of 10. Chefs kiss man. So good.

    From the moment I picked up the controller and started playing The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, I've been deeply invested in its world and lore.
    I have a tradition of playing this game through once if not twice a year. I always learn new things, new ways to fight different enemies and monsters, make new discoveries and find new easter eggs. I always try to introduce new challenges for myself. Most recently I obtained my platinum trophy and 100% completion for the main game and both DLCs.
    Next time I'm doing a fresh start on death narch difficulty with enemy upscaling and see if I'm really as good as I belive myself to be.
    This game never gets old for me and it's one of the best things in my life, outside of my wife and dog of course.

Everything in this game is perfect, the world, the story, the characters, the graphics, the monsters, the MUSIC ooh the music. I would never tell someone not to try it.

    Personally I always viewed the eye on the training dummy to be a sort of older Ciri as Garlet gets older and his time is coming he's going to dream of her grown up getting possibly hurt because she's not a fully Witcher. And as such is why he's so hard on her, Trying to use training and her natural magical abilities to get her by instead of mutations and potions. And obviously that wasn't what he was taught and as such he's terrified of teaching her the wrong things thus leading to her possible death.

In Odyssey a couple worth mentioning are the "plague" quest on Kephallonia and the Kyra questline on Mykonos .... His name is Nikolas Kolm and if you put his name in the search bar above you should get an interview of him from April this year that's definitely worth a listen for fans of either game ....

It was perfection and it’s why I’ve not gone back to it (other than the DLC) as I don’t think that experience can be matched. Sunk so many hours playing from evening until 2-3am wondering where that time had gone. Unbelievable game and an unbelievable experience.

    What I love about W3, if you play the quests in a different order, it's recognised by the game. Conversations with npcs have different sentences, they can talk about different characters, and the outcome Gerult creeated...amazing.
    Also....I'm going to start Death march right now.😁

      This just goes to show you how much problems cdpr was facing when making cyberpunk, I mean, Witcher 3 was made in 3 freaking years...and yet they had put so much in the game.
