YEAH ALRIGHT ALRIGHT MY BAD
I mostly end up using heavy. You will be so high on steroids that stamina regen reduction from it isn't a problem
Well I've started a whole fresh game. Doing the alchemy/swords route.
So I'm back in White Orchard again and it's just bloody magical all over again. Stop me for God's sake or Ill make you all sick with the praise I could give this game and it's brilliant developers.
Cyberpunk2077 seems a long way away just now so I'm glad I can find the same enjoyment in W3 on the 3rd go.

It's an impressive achievement that a quest-based game with a defined (but admittedly very large) range of options and an avatar that is always the same has such re-play strength. I've played the original game through twice, and the original + full DLCs once, and it has never become tedious. The quality and immersion of the world and the writing carries it. It's more like re-reading a favourite book than playing a game in some ways.
Can't wait for Cyberpunk2077
Congrats! If you feel the game doesn't deliver, just keep on playing. It will get a heck of a lot better the more you play.
I read the withcer books first and think they have done a great job to make a game out of it. I just really like the game world (all three of them).
edit: btw, I stopped reading GameStar (german gaming magazine) because they really where bashing it (first) and I just couldn't agree.

This is probably the greatest game I ever played. Loved every single minute of it, and never rushed a thing.
The game world is absolutely incredible, alive and believable (even for a fantasy game). The characters are great.
I actually started feeling sad when I noticed the story was approaching the end.

Of course!
Both Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.Loved Hearts of Stone main quest, one of the best overall and in this game that's saying a lot!
Absolute masterpiece, this game is. Raised the bar so much that it will be very hard to feel satisfied with new RPGs in the coming years.

That is true - after playing through Witcher 3 new Dragon Age feels just silly.
Dragon Age always felt silly to me.
It is hard to believe that the creators of Mass Effect also made that crap.
I played Dragon Age Inquisition before TW3, so I got to appreciate it - to some extent. The world is beautiful, lots of enormous completely open areas (no loading screens for caves etc). The legendary dragons are awesome. And like in every Bioware game, the characters are mostly brilliant.
Unfortunately, the story is bland and cliche (random villain threatens world, but here comes the designated Special One to save it), the majority of side quests aren't engaging and feel like chores, and there's an overabuse of fetch quests... The game world is awesome and beautiful, but unfortunately there isn't that much interesting content to fill it.
It also suffers from the recent streak of "Instant You're The Best!" disease that has been infecting recent games (hello Fallout 4...) in which the game has barely started and you're already in charge of a world-changer organization, you're already revered as a religious cult prophet etc...

I slightly disagree, I think the first Dragon Age was epic.
First was good especially at the time. The rest didn't gel with me at all.
Witcher series got better through each iteration the devs totally didn't sit on their laurels they changed things that weren't great and added stuff that enhanced. The things they didn't change were the quality of the questing, the atmosphere and immersion in the world they created. That along with decent voice acting totally sold me on the game above anything else I've played...ever.
The old boys like your bethesdas, obsidian, la-de-la.....well they have some catching up to do.
The only thing that I can level at the devs as a weakness is the combat and only then occasionally.

Woah... came across a pretty major bug there in the Blood 'n' Wine expansion. In the Big Game Hunter quest there's a point towards the end where you have to follow a character, but he doesn't move. You can't finish the quest (which is ok..) but you also can't summon Roach, you can't meditate, and you can't fast-travel (so you're stuck in Toussaint forever).
Luckily the game auto-saves so I could revert back to a previous checkpoint, without that I'd have to start the game from scratch!

Enjoying the game so far and it is impressive and the characters are very good.
I also went and got the heart of stone DLC as I was so impressed with the game
Best 20 euros you'll ever spend!
My advice: don't rush it, appreciate every moment of its wonderfully written stories, characters and rich dialogues, as there will never be a Witcher game again... (curls on the ground and cries silently)
