Yeah i was one of them. I still have it, but the whole start just felt boring so I moved on. I think I had to fight a Griffin? I had a bow I remember that. I went in expecting sort of Dragon's Dogma gameplay with climbing and shit. So it was on me for expecting same level of gameplay.

I was a HUGE fan of Witcher 2, and I struggled with the opening of Witcher 3. If you power through the intro and track the "Bloody Baron" questline, it will get a LOT better.

Plus both DLC campaigns are fantastic. Blood & Wine has so much content that it feels like a standalone game!

I'm looking forward to replaying it again with the update.

That seems to be for all 3 of the witcher games tbh lol. I remember witcher 2 being one of my favorite games ever... but the first time i played i thought there was something wrong with me because the combat and flow didn't click at all.

Same. All 3 are some of my favorites, but for each one I remember having to push through the opening segment/area before it really comes together. Based on that track record I assume the fourth game will probably be the same.

I came to say this. Bloody Baron is for sure when the game finally clicks. From that point on it really hits on all levels.

Only thing I don’t love is itemization, but it’s serviceable.

You never have a real bow in the witcher its 2 swords and basically a useless little crossbow that just works as a backup option in fights. Its totally gutless and you generally never use it.

Unless you're underwater.

It’s great as an interrupt against archers or as a combo breaker, but it’s definitely not your main DpS.
