Will act 2 and 3 be as long as act 1? *SPOILERS*
Okay so I'm 49 hours in and I got to the ugly baby quest. I just managed to help yen contact the elven mage girl at kaer morhen.
How many % am I into the main story?
I really really love this game and I really don't want to finish it so soon.. been doing a few side missions lately instead of the main story. Am I going too quickly?
I'm level 21 now and i still have a number of level 6-14 witcher contracts and secondary quests.

Advice? And add me on steam ! All my friends are from... assassins creed. And I talk to none of them.

And is the game replayable? Based on your experience is I worth playing a second time? Because this game is awesome as #!&@ 😆

Opinions anyone?

Depends on your playstyle. Speedrunners speak about 5-10 hours. It was 60+ on my first playthrough from this stage. On the second playthrough it lasted even longer :D

IMO you rushed it very much... I've been completing all possible side quests as soon as I could and advancing in main story at rather slow pace. Now I'm 110 hours into game, I'm level 22 and last main story quest I've done is discovering what caused magical disaster on Skellige islands.
At this pace I really enjoyed every little bit of what game had to offer so far, but to be honest I expect many quests you skipped so far will be way too easy for you at the moment - just like some main quests were too easy to me since I've overleveled them doing side quests (eg. I've travelled to Skellige at 19-20 level, while game suggested 16, and then even 13 for some consecutive quests).

Awww man... This sucks. Been rushing through because the story is wayyy too interesting!! Hahaha well, this is my first witcher game and I'm currently very interested in the series. When I'm really really done with wild hunt , ill go ahead and play the first witcher game.

So I should really slow down and do all of my side quests? And IMO I think I make a really bad witcher. Apparently being too nice will make the game slightly shorter for example the tree spirit thingy. Made the wronnng choice man. Maybe I'm wrong because I'm quite clueless now but apparently if I let the druid from the tree spirit thing free, I lose a few quests? Is that true? Have yet to kill the crones and I'm dying to do do

in short-yes. Not that tence as with Baron but yes

Advise? Don't rush and remember you are playing Witcher. You are not an avenger, knight etc you are a witcher-nothing more, nothing less.

I'm extremely new to the series, just gotten interest in it, never knew that this game is to be played really slowly, if you know what I mean. Haha ! Could say I'm a new gamer. As I don't count counterstrike as gaming 😂

I are too fast. I am more than 100 hours in and I have not even started to go through the left question marks in Skellige. Still haven't seen any kaer morhen. And I guess it will happen in maybe 20-30 more hours.

I don't know if there are such dependencies in main storyline, however AFAIK there are some in side quests. Eg. I missed whole storyline concerning king Radovid's assassination, since I decided not to engage myself in it too much.

What is act 1, 2, and 3? I saw nothing in this game to indicate there is "acts" in this game.

Act 1 is pretty much "finding Ciri" quest, act 2 begins with ugly baby quest afaik
Act 3 is after Kaer Morhen, or so

To the OP's question: act 1 is the longest, I think you are around 60% if not a little more, add me if you want

There are, the devs stated so a while before release, they just aren't explicitly told
