The Witcher Series
Witcher 3 offers another great medieval world to wander through. I played through the base game on PS4 and have PC versions of the previous games in the series. I read the first Witcher game has controversial content but I have no opinion on that because I got stuck early on. Skipping through cut scenes just to fail repeatedly upset me more than any potential misogyny so I rage quit. I am currently going through my abandoned games list on Steam so maybe I'll give it another try.
I like games that have mature story lines and I think Geralt's character is well supported by his back story. At least in the two games I played, I had some choice in how things play out. My Geralt is not a complete scoundrel but pragmatic. At the end of the day, he's always in it for the money.
After so much anticipation, Yennifer met my expectations completely. I thought she is indeed the ideal woman for Geralt. My Geralt just let Yennifer be Yennifer, standing by her but not rushing to her defence either. Of course, I blew it and got the worst outcome by avoiding the cartoon porn and patronizing Ciri.
Witcher 3 deserves all the accolades especially for the story telling. Geralt was so convincing that I felt a bit of the uncanny valley. Obviously he is an animated character but I felt he could exist as an actor. Will Henry Cavill fill the bill? I'm sure looking forward to finding out.
Once I finished the game I was done with it. I did play on past the main quest but I left some stuff on the map. So sick of Sirens. I have had no desire to start a new game or get the expansions and I can't really explain why. I am sure curiosity will drive me to get the expansions at some point.
