So I beat the game a while ago, and now I just installed it again to try NG+, but I could not find the option to open it.

How does it change gameplay? You can explore everywhere from the start?

I am at the beginning trying to find the missing son of a local gang leader. So far I enjoy the detective work and the atmosphere. However, there is something with the visual that is hurting my eyes, to the point that I have had to stop playing several times now. If this persists I may have to drop this game. Did anyone have the same problem and know how to fix?

Update: It seems that I dont have the same problem with the Original version of the game, so I guess thats what I will be playing. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Witcher 3 was one of the earlier games that I played, and once I finished it instantly became my favorite game ever.

Ever since then I have been playing lots of games, good and bad. And I have always hoped that one game will finally surpass Witcher 3 to become my new favorite. Yet few games came close to it, and those that did, including the likes of RDR2, Elden Ring, Sekiro, New Vegas, Cyberpunk, Dishonored, Outer Wild, KCD2, etc. still failed to dethrone it. While many of those are all-time classics themselves, each time I finish these there was no doubt in my mind that Witcher 3 remains my favorite.

My next attempt will be with Stalker 2, let's see if it can do it. Otherwise, I probably will have to wait till Witcher 4.

Base game KCD2 is an absolute masterpiece of a game. However, majority of the DLCs have been a disappointment for me. They are not bad, but nowhere near the quality of base game.

-Brushes with death: Perhaps one of the weakest DLCs among otherwise great games Ive played. Gameplay is kinda tedious, with Henry just running around the map doing a bunch of fetch quests. Story isnt all that interesting either. It started off strong, but then it kinda dragged, and fizzled out by the end. Once the truth was revealed I was like "thats it?". Only saving grace for this DLC was the hilarious side quest with the bailiff and the lady.

-Legacy of the forge: Perhaps the strongest DLC among the 3. Story was nothing interesting, but adding the forge as a permanent base is nice. Still, it feels very mechanical and gamy.

-Mysteria ecclesiae: I had such high hope for this one, but left underwhelmed by the end. I love stealth, so gameplay is fun for me. The story however is a bit meh. The villain is obvious from the start. The investigation aspect is disappointingly linear, and for a DLC called "Mysteria" there are very few secrets to be found in the monastery overall.

Like I said, base game is a masterpiece, but none of the DLCs are on the same level of the likes of Witcher 3, Elden Ring, or Fallout 4.

Such a fun quest with so many different ways to solve an open problem. Last time I played an RPG quest this good was perhaps Beyond the Beef (from Fallout New Vegas). It almost gave me the same feeling as playing some of those great ImSim levels.
