The gameplay is lacking?
It probably has the best combat system in a game and every quest feels different. I understand its personal preference but what would you put above it?

I agree, but that has a lot more to do with the writing than game mechanics

Dude. You're a fckking idiot if you do not think W3 has the best combat system in a game.
What game then has better?
Edt: Sorry for calling you an idiot. I hate hurting feelings over the internet. Seriously how can you laugh at the W3 combat system?

The combat is ok. It's not the best.

It is one of the only games where getting better at the combat makes a difference in the game. Its not critical that you have the best gear, upgrades or high level.

I don't disagree with that. It's not bad.

I finished Blood and Wine, got all the endings and searched just about every area of Toussaint. It's one of the best DLCs I've ever played.

How is the combat system?
Please please validate my claim.

I've said it before - it's as shallow or technical as you want it to be. Sure, it's meh if you spam the action button, but the game wants you to mix in signs, bombs, crossbow, etc. It's also fairly strategic, especially against multiple enemies. The upgrade system is complex. I've put a ton of hours into the game and I'm still learning. I think that's where some of the criticism stems from.

Have feeling those thinking its not complex are those who don't play on Death March or NG+.
You are forced to practice your evasion skills and grow in combat in those game modes.

As far as rpgs go, I like the combat system in FF12 much better. Granted its a bit different because you're controlling three characters instead of one but knowing how to manage your gambits can make or break a fight for you.

The only gripe I've heard is that "you have to be patient". I kinda get it because I like steamrolling enemies as much as anyone.
I do love it though. You have to strategize. If I lose I don't just run off and come back after I level up or have better gear. I have to think about what I did wrong and how I can do better. I still play risky as hell but I have developed some patience.

My favorite of B&W.

I beat B&W last night and I've got a question about one of the endings.
*SPOILER ALERT*
I'm not sure about all the endings, but in mine I had Triss meet me at my vineyard. During our conversation Geralt asked what the future looked like for him or something to that extent and she said that she wasn't going to tell him and that it was going to be a surprise. Geralt had a slight smirk on his face too, so I'm guessing that this isn't the last we see of Geralt or The Witcher series? I might be overthinking it, but that's the impression I got. I would love for another one

W3 is so good, I just picked the wrong time to play it. It's a shame I'm not getting the full experience right now of being sucked in.

CDPR confirmed Gerald is done after this game.

So It feels like I'm nearing the end of the game so I decided to back track and start playing gwent since I've neglected it the whole game. The first 2 guys in velen were a motherfricker, especially the soothsayer with the monster deck. I've been blowing through everyone since then but have come across a problem. Dijsktra is one of the people you have to play in novigrad and his bath house is locked so I can't get to him. I looked it up and it seems I'm screwed as I waited to long to play him. Anybody else have this problem?
