The Witcher 3 lost me right after the best piece of gaming content I played this year--the Bloody Baron quest.
The rest of the game has plenty of great moments like that. I wouldn't even say the Bloody Baron quest made my top 5 moments for that game.
That wouldn’t have made me pull it off my list, until I realized everyone I talked to that played but didn’t finish TW3 stopped right there.
Those people should have also continued playing. The part immediately after that - Novigrad - is where the game really opens up and has some of the best side quests in the game.
This is like fighting to get people to try Dark Souls all over again. "I heard things."
There seems to be some sort of echo chamber within the industry about how The Bloody Baron stuff is the high point of that game because that is where everyone stopped.
This. It's pointless to nag anyone about what they "should" play. People like what they like, but it's a bit irksome that the accepted line on TW3 from many game industry people is "Yeah, just stop playing after the Bloody Baron quest, whatever." I just don't get it.
Novigrad was the biggest snooze fest in the entire game. I cleared all of that junk, made it to skellige, and stopped. Game is too long with nothing motivating me to play it.
