The poison enemies in the temple of styx are way too overpowered, it genuinely ruins the game for me, I would refund it if I could

fun

Don't you dare go hollow

Married my sister

Yes

good co-op gameplay

Bizzare.

This game is so good I had to write a poem about it...

In the heart of Velen, where the rivers entwine,
Witcher 3 unfolds, a tale so divine.
Geralt of Rivia, a lone silver blade,
In the Northern Realms, where destinies are laid.

Through meadows and mountains, where monsters dare tread,
In the White Orchard's bloom, where legends are bred.
The Wild Hunt's pursuit, a relentless spree,
Yet, in every encounter, the Witcher is free.

Gwent cards and potions, in alchemy's embrace,
A vast open world, where each quest finds its place.
From Novigrad's alleys to Skellige's embrace,
In this sprawling landscape, a masterpiece's grace.

Yennefer's allure, Triss' enchanting fire,
Romance in the chaos, a bard's heart's desire.
Ciri, the lion cub, with a destiny grand,
In the tapestry of time, where fates command.

The monsters you face, the contracts you bind,
In the Witcher's journey, a soul refined.
Choices that echo, like whispers in the wind,
In this rich narrative, where no tale is thinned.

So, in the vast realms where fantasy thrives,
In the Witcher 3's world, where each story derives,
Raise your sword high, let your praises resound,
For in this gaming realm, true epics are found.

just leave if you see fernando

I seem to enjoy this more than EU4, its different and seems to be somewhere between EU4 and CK2 when it comes to how "complex" the game is, while i have heard many reviews that give this game a bad reputation i can see what they are trying to say.
Having spent more than 120 hours in the game however i can say for certain i like the charm of the game.

Its often challenging but also rarely "unfair" im not saying that this is a strategy game for everyone, its certainly not. I dont think a game like that even exists, and im also hopeful for the future of this game.
So far i have played as Rome (duh) and Carthage, as well as Sparta. (and i failed sparta)
And i can say playing as sparta was very different than playing as Rome or Carthage. And that is a big plus.
I have also been told that playing as a barbaric nation is very difficult, which i would expect it to be.

I have learned many things from the game, being greedy doesn`t pay, you land grab too much and your nation quickly spirals out of control. As loyalty of each province decreases due to your high agressive expansion, (+70%) so does the loyalty of your generals & admirals and most notably of your Governors. I had to resort to desperate measures to make sure my glorius nation would not crumble apart by the seams (again) because i knew if it did there would be no shortage of hungry neighbours ready to pounce on me.

In addition to low loyalty of my subjects, all of my neighbours hated me, so trading with other nations became rather difficult. Which impacted my economy to some degree. Luckily i retained most of my export & import trades and eventually raised fairly good relations with the Antagonid kingdom (the most powerful nation in my game wink wonk)
Around this time Carthage formed land borders with me in Iberia and our tensions are growing.

If you like real time strategy games set in the roman period. You will probably like this game too.
