So I just read this book on history of games called "Blood, Sweat and Pixels" and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a try. Got any advice for me?

The story was difficult to follow, for me, and plays a significant role in the game and is likely to influence your decisions. What I wish I did and what I recommend you, is make sure you pay close attention to it in the beginning, knowing who's who, who's battling who and why. Consider taking notes haha

Edit: the story and the game are fantastic, I hope you enjoy it like I did. I recently finished the game and started with the extensions.

But also, don't be afraid to just read this stuff online. The game is so big it gets tedious if you don't have a huge amount of time to devote to it. That can really kill motivation to keep going.
