SAILERIUS'S PROFILE

I kind of agree. I like the idea, but it reads to me as "Chronology of the Ast Era" at a glance. I have to look at it for a few seconds before it resolves properly.

The Witcher 3 supposedly has great storytelling and characters, but so far all that I've encountered has been a boring side-quest laden world. Geralt is about as interesting as an old bit of gristle for a protagonist. The writing and dialogue doesn't seem especially well written so far... so I don't know what all the hype is about. It's undeniably pretty, but so what?

I was also scammed into wasting a lot of time playing TW3 after hearing about how amazing the writing and quests are. I'm convinced that everyone who's going gaga over it has only ever played like... Skyrim before, because the writing and quest design are terrible. You might be thinking that it gets better later, but they actually front-loaded all of the best content in the game into the first few quests, so if you're not enjoying it now, you're not going to like it much more later.

A forced ten hour long series of fetch quests eventually led me to giving up on the game. It's a shame that it sucks so much, because the worldbuilding and atmosphere are actually really fantastic. It has a sense of place that no other RPG I've played has, and you can tell the art team was really passionate about bringing this vivid vision to life, but it's all wasted on a mediocre game where 80% of your time is spent running from quest marker to quest marker and the other 20% is doing MMO fetch quests when you get there.

It took me about fifty hours across two weeks to make the final cutscene of Vacant Sky Act II (most of the time spent was playtesting dialogue to see if it was timed appropriately to ensure the average player would get to certain lines of dialogue during certain points in the song), and it's only about seven minutes long. It's really depressing how disproportionate the amount of work a cutscene is to make versus how much mileage you get out of it.

Sailerius, you're entitled to your own opinion but I have to let you know that it's disgusting and wrong.

You mean like the part where Zidane molests Garnet and it's played for laughs?
