Congrats to the game! I rented it from Gamefly and played the crap out of it when it released.

I was thinking of picking up the deluxe edition that comes with the season pass since I've heard the DLC has as many hours of playthrough as the original game did. Also, I heard that there have been many, many improvements to the vanilla game since it came out. If anyone can comment on that, I'd appreciate it.

no way it does. according to CD project first expansion is 10 hours long, the second has 30 hours of content. according to How Long to Beat, The Witcher's main story is 45 hours long, Main + Extra's is 100 hours. the time tracker on PS4 was broken, but i can certainly say i played way more than 45 hours. i spent maybe 3 months playing TW3. 

 

never the less, 40 hours of content is A LOT. thats longer than bloodborne, and 10 hours more than double what it takes to beat Uncharted 4, just to put things into perspective. 

I don't think The Witcher is 100 hours for main + extras. I believe I had roughly 50 hours clocked in the game and I took my time and did everything and searched for everything (except for a handful of treasures in the skellige islands). so if it is 40 hours for both those expansions, then it will take close to as long as it took me to fully beat the base game.

My experience matches bananaking's: main story + every side quest + every "?" and "!" + same for Hearts of Stone = 150 hours, 43 level. Though I do play slow and do not even use fast travel every time I can.

So I bought the game since it was on sale and I think you guys are right. I thought I only had 50 hours for about 95% of the game but I really have 75 hours for about 75% of the base game. The game must have been so fun that I didn't remember playing it that much!

Replaying it in full right now, been waiting so I could do it with both expansions. Still think it might be the best game I've ever played

Agreed. It's making me sad to think that after blood and wine, we're done with Geralt. Witcher 4 will happen though. Cyberpunk will be great too.

Didn't like it at first, but once you get into it, its fantastic! Definentely one of my favourite RPG's. Up there with Mass Effect and Fallout 3 and NV



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

It was a good game but I was glad when it was over, it got kinda boring after I had explored most of the map. I won't be getting the dlc. I prefer TW2, great all the way through. That was 5 years ago already.
