re: Just started another Witcher 3 playthrough

Its a bitch but it makes the game more complete. You get wrecked if you frick up.

Game gets a lot better around that part, too

You HAVE to do side quests and level up, find new potions/abilities etc while advanving the story. I just dont have the time to play through that way and i want to see the ending.

Once you get to Skellige you really don't have to do the side quests all that much, even on Death March. You get to where the main quests even turn grey at points in Skellige if you are doing all the side stuff up until that point.

Agreed that going from DM to the next difficulty down makes things extremely easy by comparison.

I recently finished a play through on Death March and both DLC's. The scaling issue is messed up in the main game. You will be over-leveled pretty much no matter what by the time you finish the game. When the first DLC starts up though...watch the F out...lol....they scaled up everybody in the DLC's! But it seemed to balance out well. Was strong enough by the end of each that I felt like a badass again on each.

The secondary quests are interesting. They do a good job of painting how fricked up that world is. Really, I like how they handled all of the quests. The undiscovered places are fun to break up the quest stages.
