The open world isn't as interesting as I though it would be (each area above-ground feels exactly the same so far), but maybe I just haven't explored the other non-Velen regions yet.

You'll be surprised with how vast that Novigrad is, if you haven't been there, or at least I was. Skellige is massive and also totally different from Velen and any other place you go. If you thought Velen had a lot of "?'s? you're in for a surprise.

If you didn't think the Bloody Baron story line was fricked up than I don't know what to tell you.

You're poor for like the first half or quarter of the game depending on what you focus on (Main story/sidequests). I had a game breaking glitch that took two weeks to fix and grinded side quests and contracts and made a frick ton. Eventually you'll start picking up weapons and armor that you don't want, because hopefully you'll have found the Witcher gear, and you can sell it for a pretty penny.

You need to head to Novigrad because you need to find the merchant with the best saddle bags.

There is no good way to make money but money is rarely needed.

You need to sell lots of equipment so having the best saddlebags means having to make fewer trips.

I guess I didn't know why I should care about the Baron's story if it was only told as a means to learn about Ciri's whereabouts. I suppose since he's going to Crookbag Bog or whatever there could still be some impact related to Geralt.

Yeah Velen is sort of crappy village with peasants, bandit camp, monster nest, crappy village, place of power, river/stream, so maybe I just need to get to another region
