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?

    I disagree, it made the enemies become tedious damage sponges and currently making the game less enjoyable.

    This isn’t a Souls game. Whatever difficulty setting is one/two below the hardest is an acceptable balance between completely wasting my time or challenging fun.

      Interesting! I never really found the combat to be all that tedious or enemies too difficult so long as you kept up with alchemy, oils and gear upgrades.

      Obviously, different strokes for different folks. There’s a reason one of the difficulties is story only.

        That is something I appreciated about the game, it makes it clear that lower difficulties are valid ways to pay the game
