Oh maaaaan. After a pretty great start, I have to say that The Witcher 3's main story is starting to drag like crazy. It's basically just "the princess is in another castle".
I'm at the point where I just met those underworld crime bosses in Novigrad. Now that one dude has me investigating the robbery of his vault, and the other thread has me finding some dude named Whoreson. Now I'm not just looking for Ciri, but Dandeloin and Whoreson as well. Is that just how this story plays out? Constantly looking for other people? Same thing in Velen with the Baron's family, and the witches.
And man I feel like things are at a stand still. It doesn't really help things that I've done so much side content that I'm pretty overpowered, and all fights are incredibly easy. The core gameplay loop of conversation, exploration, investigating and fighting has been really fun, but now it's only conversations and cutscenes.
It's actually kind of disheartening to see that games with a story focus still lean so hard on conversations with barely any input from the gamer. And man, could you be less creative with camera angles? This game is screaming for some wide shots and creative camera work.
Is this what I can expect from here on out? Please tell me that it starts to pick up the pace soon.
