So I just read this book on history of games called “Blood, Sweat and Pixels” and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a try. Got any advice for me?

    The sidequests are fucking great though. Didn’t play all, but those I did could be main quests in a different game. I had to skip some because there is just stupid amount of them and I was overleveling fast.

    Don’t do map completition though - trying to do all is truly insanity

      As a general rule of thumb, if it has dialogue, it’s going to be pretty good, and surprisingly so a lot of the time. The Witcher 3 is still unmatched for quality and quantity of side quests.

      This wasn’t a particularly good open world game even for its time, so I’d say ignoring the map markers completely is often smart.
