Right? I grew up in oblivion so when Skyrim came out with its dull brownish greys I was super disappointed, still can’t really get into the game that much. Then a miracle happened and the Witcher 3: blood and wine came out. Toussaint was such a breath of fresh air, it reminded me that why I loved fantasy games was to feel like I was in a fantasy
I was also not super into witcher 3. I liked it but I just didn’t grab me. Would you mind saying a bit about what set blood and wine apart for you? I think I have it, and maybe it’s time to give it a shot!
I don’t personally find the gameplay in W3 very interesting so it was 90% story and 10% Gwent that limped me through the main game. Blood and Wine doesn’t change gameplay at all but the setting is maybe the best I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying in a game probably ever. The art direction is just wonderful and they really set the scene from the opening moments. There are also a couple of end game touches they made. All of that added up to a very memorable experience for me. Honestly it’s still far from my favorite game but it’s still to this date the best thing CDPR has done IMO.

That expansion was marvelous, nearly hit every note for me and I say that as someone with otherwise very mixed feelings for Witcher 3.
