  • That sounds about on par for the witcher there, that’s mine too. That stupid riddles in the dark quest is where a lot of playthroughs go to die because of it’s completely wrong leveling.

    I’m with you tbh, on the characters. Jennifer Hale did so so much better than Mark Meer in Mass Effect. Mark did great, but Jennifer just brought it to another level. Then cyberpunk. Holy shit, female V was so good right? I honestly have never played as male V because as soon as I get to the character creator I remember how good it is to play female V and I just can’t. The raw emotion she brought for that whole game was just perfect. That game was so great, could have you beating up a guy for catcalling you with a baseball bat to 5 minutes later you’re tearing up over the next gut punch. I’ve never played Saint’s Row, but I might just for Laura Bailey




  • Yeah it’s technically the second if you count white orchard, which you can or could not, it’s a small starter area. Velen is the first real actual area you’re in. If you dealt with the witches you’re actually pretty close to being done with Velen, I’d push through to Novigrad.

    RDR2 is interesting. I agree my first playthrough I played about to Chapter 2 and put it down. Didn’t get it, everyone told me it was amazing but did not get it. About a year or two later I picked it up again, and played more, and it picked up, and then up more, and then holy shit. RDR2 is now just absolute perfection, I play it probably once a year now! I actually amend my first, I think it might have over taken ME, which is really hard for me to say but it’s just such a spectacular story.

    Personally I don’t have the issue of playing as someone else. Usually I play as the opposite sex in games anyway. However I’m also very empathetic, and so I really feel what the main character is feeling no matter who it is. I think the trend of all of those games is that they’re all absolute gut punches, they really hit you in the feels in the good way, and shows what happens when you let writers truly write.







  • I’ll say that W3 starts horribly slow. White Orchard is one of the most boring training zones I’ve done, and Velen is rough. It’s needed for sure, but it doesn’t hook you very well. I highly recommend pushing through to Novigrad where you start meeting your friends like Triss, the story really picks up, the side quests get more involved, and it helps carry it through.

    I love story rich games, Mass Effect is my #1, then RDR2, and then probably Cyberpunk 2077. Witcher 3 was very good, but to me the story just never quite gripped me like the others. The world however is phenomenal, and that’s what kept me playing.
