Skellige is definitely the highlight of this game

[Trapped in Purgatory]

The main story on Skellige about helping them find a king is probably the best mission in this game. Not to mention Skellige has a very "Beowulf" feel to it, from the opening scene of watching the former king get his boat set on fire, to the way the people there just talk and look. It is very Viking-like.

The music is also so soothing and beautiful, and exploring the forest and sea with that main Skellige song on is just amazing.

Like the story in Skellige better or the story in Velen?

I'll be honest Skellige for me was the music, and Gremist.

After my first playthrough if I could have just stuffed Gremist and a box containing Skellige's soundtrack into my boat, I'd have pushed right back out to sea faster than Ol' King Bran

Skellige and Toussaint are both the best Landscapes in the game.

Skellige looked good but i quit during it.

Toussaint for me. I race to unlock ASAP and find exscuses to visit, like buffing and selling, or just hunting more interesting enemies.

Skellige and novigrad are my favorite

i like skellige but one thing that weirds me out is the scale of the mountains, they look like huge french alps kind of mountains but when you get close its no bigger than a hill irl...

It does look really well but I really enjoyed war torn Velen more. One of the things Velen has going for it is the small random encounter quests(skellige has a few), some of them where really good and there was quite a lot of them in that area.
The best one was the guy with the cart of plague ridden corpses and you can meet him later for some closure.

I agree that I didn't like how many of the treasures and stuff are far away on a tiny little island with no fast travel. Also you have to climb very tall mountains and take hidden specific paths to get some of the treasure. The main theme is awesome, kinda sad in its own way. The theme that plays at night is also a highlight. Velen and Novigrad is just so depressing, dirty, and full of swamps.

Skellige and Touissant are the greatest. Skellige is amazing, though incredibly annoying to travel around with the clunky movement this game has. Touissant is just pure bliss though, a place where people actually like you.
