jejune1: I have no complaints or anything negative to report so far. It is probably going to take me a lifetime to ever finish since there are two expansions not just one that are coming our way.

I am a devoted Elder Scrolls player and this, for me, is more amazing that any of the ES line.

Should there be a new hero. Nope!! this is a game, not real life, no one has to age unless some magic spell poofs them away.

My thanks for creating this game. The voices are perfect, the graphics are amazing! Music is fantastic and fits with the surrounding graphics. The play is never ending as you all know and you can make it simple or turn over rocks to find something.

Thanks! am a very sleepy and happy player

Coot: I agree its a great game. Finally put 40 something hours into the first Witcher late last year and early this year. Never finished it but I finally got the hang of it after a few timid tries years ago. Its a very good, old school gaming experience.

I loved Witcher 2. I played it off and on but it wasn't until GOG came out with their free, DRM and enhanced version of the game free to those who previously owned it for me to finally really get into it. W2 is where I learned the most of what the series and lore was about. Almost finished the game going the Vernon Roche path but my pc got struck by lighting so I had to start again. I said to myself that I would only play through Flotsam again because I loved that level and then I would load up my last save game previous to the lightning strike and finish it before Witcher 3. But alas, I got lost in it so much again, that I decided just to keep on playing and make some different choices to see what would happen knowing I had something previously played that I could compare it to. So I then finished the game going the Scoeitel route.

I love Witcher 3 like you all. Its an amazingly gorgeous game with graphics that just "feel" organic to me and it has very good gameplay and an extremely interesting universe, lore and stories.

I don't think I have a way of knowing how many hours I have in it now but I'd have to say I'm at least at 30 hours if not more and I haven't even visited Skellige yet and I'm only just now at level 14.

davevh: I put in around 100 hours of TOS:Skyrim a few years back, and decided to load it back up recently and start a new game to see if the magic was still there. Playing for around 30 minutes, I instantly removed it from my PC.

I don't think I will ever be able to play another Bethesda RPG (Fallout NV is sitting stagnant in my library, Fallout 4 gets me about as excited as a bout of diarrhea) after playing the Witcher and Dark Souls games. Not saying Bethesda games are bad or anything (since millions get enjoyment from them), but I enjoy games with a bit more depth and imagination.

darkness58ec: Eh. I am in a sort of love hate relationship with Bethesda. Fallout 4 looks inferior to W3, to put it mildly, and I have always criticized Bethesda games for their childish and undeveloped characters/story, but I undoubtedly will still be buying Fallout 4 at some point.... I guess I just like the exploration too much? The modding? I want an rpg and there aren't any others to be had? I don't know.

davevh: Well, to be fair Fallout is a completely different game to W3 other than the fact it is an RPG.

bradb2015: Story is all iit had going...should of did a better combat/magic/looting system and worked on the 100's of bugs prior to launch. Def. not the masterpiece to seasoned RPG players...maybed to the under 20 year olds new/used to these kind of watered down kiddy games.

Fenixp: Personally I'd kill for W3 to just not be open world, be like 60 hours long to 100% instead of the ridiculous 200, and only offer us quality content instead of all the filler you need to go trough if you want to see everything. With how expensive creating big, open world games is, saved money could go towards proper balance and even better combat system.

darkness58ec: There's Shadowrun Returns: Hong Kong coming out, at least (Aug 20th I think). I recommend the Shadowrun Returns series if you haven't played it yet. Little rough around the edges, but the writing is top notch and the world lore/character drawings/old school environment graphics are intriguing.

darkness58ec: What, pray tell, is one of these godlike games of yore you are referring to? Serious question.

darkness58ec: In other words, you would kill for W3 to be W2. : ) I didn't like the story as much in W3, but I think I might like W3 overall more than W2. Time will tell how I feel about it in the long run.
