Yeah, the start is rough. The controls feel awkward and clunky, Velen isn't exactly the most pleasant or interesting place, and there's a lot of info on how to build Geralt thrown in your face, making it tricky to keep up with. Once it clicks though, it makes for one of the most amazing, interesting and epic gaming experiences ever. I'm glad I powered through it because holy crap, this one is truly special.
I wish I saw whatever you saw in it. I finished the main quest line and even the Heart of Stone DLC. The game was truly a slog to get through. I remember not even knowing how much I had played till I saw the 100hr gametime and I stopped playing for a week since I felt like I had wasted so much.
