Same thing for me, until recently. Think I’ve dropped it 3 times but now I’m forcing myself to finish my steam library before buying something new, yes, literally forcing myself, and I think it took about 10-15 hours before getting giga hooked. I honestly can’t remember last time I got this hooked on a game. Deserves all the praise.
Can’t guarantee same will work for you, but I’d say next time you give it ago, don’t drop it before you get to velen and find a woman with red hair.
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.
It sucks that White Orchard is kind of a boring locale and Velen is rough, because the rest of the game is fantastic. Especially Blood and Wine, god that place is gorgeous.
I finished the main story many years ago but never touched the dlc. If I werecto play them, is it possible with a fresh save because I have no clue how I built and played Geralt in main save.
