This game rules! I'm so invested in everything going on, and the gameplay is super fun. I was legit shocked when I found out the crazy old lady in the woods was the Baron's wife, especially after already speaking to Tamara and doing a lot of the Baron questline.

In addition, I felt like I should release the spirit they told me to destroy; hopefully that was the right call, but I feel like maybe lore Geralt would maybe be more cautious or try not to get involved. I enjoyed the TV show (which is what sparked my interested in the game initially, but I'm liking game Geralt a lot more because of how snarky he is).

Part of why I hadn't played this game before is because I didn't really get pulled into the game when I initially tried exploring the White Orchard area, but I tried again after sometime and pushed through to Valen, and I felt like the game really opened up.

In addition, Geralt's movement felt really weird to get the hang of, like too fast or janky at times, but I learned about the alternate movement setting and that helped a ton. Last thought, the game also felt too easy at first, but I restarted my playthrough on Death's March, and I felt like it's made me a lot more cautious and the fights are more enjoyable where I can't just spam attacks. In addition, I've been trying to prepare and upgrade all the potions and oils to help with fights.

Any of you guys have a similar experience to me or knew who Anna was initially?

Extract campers...

First playthrough and this blew my mind a little bit! At first I had a hard time getting into the game, but once it clicked for me, it's been super fun! Some more first playthrough thoughts as well.
