It really was a waste of a pretty good story tho , not gonna lie . At least imo the writing in general has improved since Dark Brotherhood . Maybe not for the Boom spinoff , but y ' know . <| sep |> The game is far from boring , but the side quests are plentiful and give a ton of gear . Would I say get it ? Yes , it ' s one of my favorite game series and this is the pinnacle for sure . While the side quests may seem repetitive in structure they ' re not really . Geralt is a monster slayer so , he at some point needs to do his job apart from the story or he ' d be one broke bitch . Main story is great imo and game is beautiful . Replay value on new game is high also if you enjoyed the first play through cause it can ramp up the difficulty and make you explore new gameplay styles . So yeah do it .
