It's been a while since I have disagreed so hard with anyone. With all due respect of course, can't really debate taste.
I disagree with the story being awful or awkward acting. Story is the best one of out the 3 (if you don't count Witcher 3's DLCs, those were superb.) and has the most innovative story quests. Also, not to spoil too much, but your decisions in that game actually affect the entire world and story a lot, what you do in act 2 can change the entire story, my mate and I had completely different stories because of what we decided in act 2, and I have to respect that. Not like that Mass Effect kind of "you were evil or whatever, which colour do you want as your ending?"
I agree, combat is terrible, engine is terrible, everything is unintuitive and clunky. I'd say for the best experience, drop difficulty to the easiest one and play for the story. Also, change voice acting to Polish, I can't stand Geralt in English in any of the games (Sorry Doug, cool guy, doesn't fit as Geralt IMO.) and the Polish really adds to the atmosphere, kinda like playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in Russian.
After a dwarf in the slums told me that my mother sucks dwarf cocks in hell, I haven't been the same as a person.
Good for you to give it a go even though it's pretty rough by today's standards. Totally worth it, love the game even with it's massive faults.
Massively overworked due to summer holidays starting, so everyone wants projects done before that.
Massive hematoma in my back thigh hasn't healed properly even after 3 months, and still causing swelling and makes it hard to walk.
Considering upping my ADHD meds because they seem to be losing effectiveness (still in early stages of testing the meds, 6 months on them now).
Everything is getting expensive and even with higher than mean salary for my country, two working adults and no kids, we're barely scraping by.
ISP lied to me and my fiber is getting installed in 2027 instead of summer of 2025, so I'm stuck with 5g, but at least the transmitter is 60m from my house, so it works pretty well.
Russia, The US, radical conservatism and the climate change causes me immeasurable dread and sense of impending doom, that's causing my anxiety to get worse.
I never have time, energy and motivation at the same time to work on hobby projects I would really love to work on.
Other than that, I'm alright. It's not as bad as it sounds, could be worse. Got a job, roof over my head, no drug habits, don't really drink anymore after years of crippling alcoholism. Dog's allergies are finally under control after a very long hassle of and a lot of money, so that's good. Gotta focus on the positives.
Thank you for asking, apparently I had some stuff I wanted to get out, didn't even really realize that.
How about you, how are you doing OP? (And everyone else of course.)
