I have it for PS4, W1 and W2 for PC. Vanilla W3 ends pretty epic enough , the 2 DLCs are pretty good as well , albeit they can go into off topic and "strange" choices of writing a game's plot sometimes, at least imo. Still tho , 100% trophies (blind playthough on Deathmarch difficulty because yolo and i wanted to be forced to use all game resources to beat , like Alchemy) .
While its not my favorite game of all time its definitely in the top 10 for sure. I second that recommendation.
Indeed the game does look lush, especially the animations really stood out to me as being the best I've ever seen. Since my current, now almost 3 years old, laptop can only manage a stable 30fps @ 900p on high settings I'm definitely looking forward to maxing the shit out of the graphics for whenever my next play through is.
And good call on the difficulty as well, I played on B&BB since I always pick the penultimate diff on games I haven't played before but I'll def do DM next time. However I do think that once you get the hang of the combat difficulty level is only really a factor in white orchard, early velen and maybe some DLC bosses. Especially since the iFrames of the dodge & roll moves are so generous. I intentionally skipped the whirl talent as well, even tho I went pretty deep in the combat tree, because of how it trivialises group fights. Alchemy was something I abused really heavily - 50% ap from an oil is just insane and thunderbolts last for minutes after you get invested in that tree as well.
Also gwent - if anyone here plays for the first time definitely get into it, it's a lot of fun. Although I did play the standalone version first which made the in game one way too easy.
