I dont find tw3 fun in any way
The game to me feels like I am playing a game with errands as the main quests and limit less talking to other people. I have a feeling I made the wrong purchase or am I missing something here? I see some of the people ik replaying this game like mad yet I don't get "sucked" into this game as they do... Advice would be appreciated

I personally find enjoyment while playing this game, first of all, just because I like the whole concept of the universe (it's an adaptation, so not even thanks to devs), then secondly, because of the scale of the game, which creates an opportunity for me to forget what parts of it were even about (ofc excluding the main story) and so even though pretty much the entirety of the game's content can be placed somewhere between mediocre and awful, I can still sink my time into exploring various pieces of the game's world and their little stories, and lastly, because of the opportunity that the two already mentioned things - concept of the game and the amount of content - plus mods and ofc my own imagination provide for me to use the game as a medieval fantasy sandbox (not really a good one) and to create my own place and stories in the games world, like for example, trying to role-play and create little stories based off of a selection of games content.
But I guess most of this is pretty much all late game stuff. If I had to tell you how I got into the game in the first place, I started playing maybe a year or two after the release, after all the 10/10's, "gaMe Of thE deCadE" and "gAmE chAngEr" bull was fully ingrained into the gaming community, and I do remember clear as day how the first few hours of playing hit me like a brick because of shattered expectations, it took me maybe a few weeks to sit down and try to look at it again. But then when I recovered from that head trauma, I little by little got into the story and the lore of the universe. Also a part of that process was still trying to find what all the hype was about for myself, which would later on benefit me in a greater understanding of the workings of the gaming community as a whole and the consolidation of the belief that the majority of people I interact with are no better than NPCs. When I got done with the main story, I went on to finish completing the rest of the side-quests, then finishing exploring the world, and so on and so forth, and what I had in the end was me getting the 100% completion and at least a couple of playthroughs on my back. It was basically like watching a mediocre movie: it wasn't really good, but it wasn't that bad either, so I kept watching and sinking in my time. That's pretty much all of the enjoyment I got out of the game, besides those few super rare moments when the game was actually kind of good, which I can even name as they were so few: Priscilla's song, Keira's bad ending, Bart talking about rocks, the dog's life dialogue with Yennefer, Margaritta's default dialogue and the bad ending, oh and also Regis as a character as a whole (if I'm not forgetting something).
So my advice would be to either keep playing, if you like something about the game, or to just not waste your time. I personally, if asked if I'd recommend the game to myself today, after knowing what I know, would have to think twice before doing so. The only other reason I see for playing this is to just experience something that, I'd say, could be considered to be quite a significant part in the recent history of games, so you'd have a reference when discussing about games or something (it's mentioned quite often on such occasions, makes it easier to filter out people who don't know wtf they're talking about).
