Great info. In all Witcher games I always had a feeling that they went after books too much and forgot to explain certain things, so it's weird hearing that in fact they simply didn't do enough explaining, and went even further and changed characters.

I already abandoned this game for a simple reason, when you are high level everything is easy and boring. In Borderlands you can just start again with the same character and everything is a challenge again, it's sad you can't do that in Witcher 3.
I used to be a knee like you. Then I took an adventurer in the arrow.

i found borederblands to be one of the blandest and most boring rpgs i ever played, and a joke compared to witcher 3.

i had a really horrible experience with borderlands as well.. it was one of those games where it felt like i was playing a mediocre MMO, in singleplayer.. Can't wait to play TW3 again.

For me borderlands was awesome... for the first 6 hours or so. Then it became repetitive a fk.

Geralt strays completely from the neutral path - and the witcher job altogether - quite fast, and gets entangled in all kinds of shit that has nothing to do with his profession; Triss is a weak, obedient sorceress, unable to make a decision on her own, usually under Eilhart's thumb; Ciri is far from being an innocent young woman - at that age she already was a bandit and a cold-blooded murderer (and practiced long-term lesbomancy with a fellow bandit  ). |
Triss feels quite weak ingame imo. The game also does not present/treat Ciri as an innocent young woman. Still, I get your point but on the other hand is quite difficult to completely adapt the characters of a book in a videogame.

Yeah, Geralt seems to have some memories about Ciri being a little girl and all, but throughout the game everyone tells him that Ciri's changed, she's a grown woman now, etc... (and i mean EVERYONE says that  ). And indeed, when Geralt finds Ciri, she's stubborn, hot-headed, and kinda ruthless.

For example, the game presents Dijkstra as a more or less good guy, but because book-Dijkstra is a lot more of a grey character, I distrusted him and tried lying to him (didn't work out that well ).
Also, because of the books, I didn't even have to think about choosing between Triss or Yen.
(Yen all the way  ) |
I accept, that Geralt has history with Yen, and they are together. But I, as the guy playing Geralt, would chose Triss ten times out of ten.

In my playthrough I rejected Triss because she felt distant, very weak and indecisive to me.

JUST FINISHED THE GAME...
have a few little gripes about the ending, namely that i was expecting... after a massive, epic story, where so much happened... that id get a bit more than a few scenes summing up a couple of events... i wanted to know so much more... what happened with the sorceresses when emhyr gave them their freedom in the south, what happened to dandelion and gimli (hurr), and triss for that matter... letho, eskel... i was expecting almost a sentence for EVERY main character and every major action I completed in the game, given that this is the franchises last story...
i also would have LOVED to have known what ciri did with the whole white frost thing... that just seemed a little quickly glossed over...
but aside from the rather rushed-feeling ending, i must say i was very satisfied with the ending i DID get, i think everything pretty much went right for my play through far as i was concerned.

And let's not forget the tattoo, which Ciri got in the books. A funny little detail.

Nobody. Just an example of 2nd playthrough I want for the Witcher, not my intention to offend fanboys. |
I didn't even play witcher 3 yet. But comparing a random loot drop diabloish fps to a third person action rpg just makes no sense to me, especially with regards to multiple playthroughs.
Borderlands is pretty much made for that, while witcher 3 is more narrative and exploration driven, so not even sure why you'd wanna replay that in the same sense as borderlands. |
1st: NO ONE is comparing Witcher 3 and Borderlads, no idea why so many comments about that.
2nd: A second playthrough has a lot of sense, you could start with level 30 keeping all unlocks, recipes, armor, skills, etc. And all quests/enemies will have +30 levels added. I think is perfect for a replay.
