What difficulty should I play The Witcher 3 at?

You should play on highest difficulty if you want a platinum trophy or 100%. But if not, then I recommend to start on normal difficulty and get used to the game mechanics at first. Then you can switch the difficulty at any time. The game itself isn't hard, but the beginning can seem a bit difficult.

 

How annoying is the plat to get?

I played the game on Death March during my first playthrough (I always start games with the hardest diffculty).
At the beginning I hated it and it almost made me to sell the game. But later on I loved the game!

If you play on Death March you should know that the beginning is really hard. But the rest of the game is very feasible imo.

I decided to just go with Death March. Its a little annoying right now. This is my first Witcher game so i'm still getting use to the combat.
