First time playing through. Glad I waited because the Next Gen update had this looking amazing. Amazingly crafted world and quests. Never have I played a game where each small side quest felt as well written and as interesting as the main quest itself. Only complaint was the game was pretty easy even playing on the 2nd hardest difficulty, but that like everything else about the game was improved with the DLC. The DLCs very much each deliver something new that the base game doesn't and are well worth playing. Blood and Wine being the best content the game has to offer. My experience could never have matched all the hype this game gets, but at least now I understand.
