+ One Hundred Million (Gaming)

My love for TW3 is no secret. $25 is an absolute steal.

I've played through the game 3 times and still have tons of side quests and monster contracts left undone. There's so much too do, but not in the Ubisoft collect-a-thon sort of way.

I pick up like maybe 1 in 5 Notice Board jobs, and they're never boring or fetch quest-y.

The thing that I love about the game is that it can be whatever tyoe of game you want it to be;
Want to go around Monster Hunter style and take down wild beasts? The game rewards you.
Want to do nothing but race horses, get in street fights, or travel abroad collecting trading cards from different pros and competitions? The game rewards you.
Want to ride off blindly and explore Skyrim style? The game rewards you.
And so on and so forth...

While exploring blindly, I recently visited a run-down mill, where some notes said that a Witcher had stopped by after helping another town. I went off towards that town's direction, only to find another note, which spoke of the Witcher being wounded while fighting a dragon (I also found a neat sword). I then found a castle that contained more clues, a tense boss fight, and a better sword than before. I found more notes stating that the Witcher had died of his injuries, and had been buried in a special tomb. After going through some rough fights, I found his tomb, and I obtained a set of super rare armor that I'm not quite ready to wear, but that I had fun finding.

Afterwards, I spared, then helped a Troll that had accidentally killed (and had subsequently eaten) the troops that he was protecting, and then I went right back to collecting Gwent cards.

That game is something else.
I pick it up and play it sporadically, which is fine, since every time you load it up it gives you a recap of the last story mission that you were on, which helps get you reoriented.
