Is it possible to complete Witcher 3 Main questline only with crossbow?

Is it possible?

Oh hohoho, you would be surprised the lengths some people are willing to go. If there is someone who can beat Dark Souls by using a bunch of bananas as a controller (and i'm not joking), then i bet somebody can beat this game with a crossbow.

People completed DS on dance pad, with potatoes, no hit, 1 hp, fists only... Everything is possible

Exactly. I mean i'm sure that a crossbow only run would take a while but impossible? Nah.

I was killing Pursuer in DS II for 40 minutes, 40 f**king minutes with fists... Becuase who does?

Might have been more fruitful if you'd just slammed your head against the wall.

RIP Wall :(

I think it would be too difficult to beat certain enemies with the crossbow.

Who doesn't parry the pursuer and kill with the ballistas

You didn't specify which mode so i'll say this.
It's most likely possible in NG and if you wanna turn a 60-80 hour game into a 400 hour game, go ahead.
It's prob better if you get to NG+, there's a mutation that boosts crossbow dmg by alot and i mean ALOT.

If you want to play for challenge I would recommend you to try a boxing only run instead of a crossbow only run. Not only is boxing more dangerous, it is also faster.

But there is one problem, sometimes punching enemy wont deal any damage to enemy only to stagger...

On NG+ with the "Cat Eyes" mutation from Blood & Wine DLC - YES it is possible I think.
Cat Eyes : "Crossbow damage is now increased from 107 to 992 (values depend on crossbow used), and crossbow critical hit chance is increased by 50%. Crossbow bolts pierce and knock down or stun opponents. Opponents struck when they have full Vitality lose 15% of Vitality."

I know I am like 4 years late, but I just recently uploaded a video of my completion of the entire base game and both dlc's with crossbow only if anyone is still looking to do this challenge, took me about 40 hours to complete. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe2cG40KUg8&t=1401s
