. . . I've been mostly playing Witcher 3 (STILL!). . .

I'll take that bait! Are you enjoying it?

Man, I love that game. I've been really thinking about jumping back in again pretty soon, but Assassin's Creed Origins distracted me (and is sort of similarly designed and almost as fun to just explore), and, sort of embarrassingly, I bought Skyrim (of all things!) on my Switch and am really enjoying lounging around on the couch with it. Companies could literally just churn out great ports of last gen games, and I'd probably buy and replay a whole bunch of them. Playing things on it is really great.

I have a NG+ save of The Witcher 3 that's just finished the main story and a few quests in to Hearts of Stone. I've only played each of the expansions through once, compared to my four times through the main game, so I really am anticipating going back through those again. It'll probably be after the new year at this point, though.

So, after a year hiatus, I decided to jump back into The Witcher 3 (as I have no urge to play Destiny 2 at all). Usually with big games like this, there is a point where you jump back in and go; Where am I? The really big Bethesda Games tend to have this. Fortunately CD PROJEKT RED took the time and put that loading screen that tells where in the story I am at, so I was able to jump back in rather effortlessly, which was nice.

Anyway...Yes.

• Swordplay has no right to be as enjoyable as it is.
  
• This is a game where I really can explore every area to my hearts content, but it's so large that I'm always finding something new, 72 hours of elapsed play time later.
  
• It's freaking pretty. More games should add weather. It's just really adds to the ambiance of a space.
  
• Sexy time on a unicorn.
  
• The Side quests are as Enjoyable as the Main quests.

If Destiny 2 could have these aspects, or like-aspects. That would be cool.

Also recommend the 2016 Prey Reboot. It's good stuff.
