Grinding may be a necessary evil, but it shouldn’t have to be a tedious one. I want to play this title the way I want to-not venture to unseen realms against my will.
But that doesn’t change the fact that I hate it. That’s fair, and it’s good to challenge yourself in some ways while you’re playing. It’s quite possible that this is an intended game mechanic: The developers may have made a choice to encourage timid gamers to explore the wider world of Witcher 3 before continuing on with their questing. Staying focused on the main quest at the start is necessary to build familiarity with the game, and excessive grinding distracts from that. The flip side of such a large game is that it can feel overwhelming. The incredible thing about The Witcher 3 is how big it is the world is massive, and there’s something new tucked in every nook of the map.
It’s about being required to do these things. This isn’t complaining about having to do things that aren’t the main quest (and let me be clear, I am absolutely whining here). I’d even argue that this is integral to the game if you play an open-world game without straying from the beaten path, what’s the point? And it can be a lot of fun to explore the map, which can add experience points. Those side quests enable players to figure out new fighting mechanics and to try new combat tricks with little risk. I’ll admit it: There are times when grinding to level up can be useful. What makes it good is the fact that it has a fantastic story, interesting characters with good voice acting (most of the time), a great open world, and fun.
