So the expansion was ing awesome. I got the epically good ending for me considering how my main game ended. Going back and replaying Witcher 2 to mop up missed achievements and take Iorveth's path, there's sooooo many references 3 made to 2 that I didn't catch. Just little nuances that are so trivial you'd miss them even as a diehard fan. Good to read... I played a chunk of Witcher 2, but stopped when my 360 blew out... reinstalled it right before I bought 3 recently. Love 3. Playing it a lot right now in fact.... Witcher 2 on backburners, as a result. I have not beaten Witcher 2 but have the Silver Edition or something installed on my XB1 for when I go back and play it after I beat 3, in between DLC I am thinking to save me some cash and make up on some backlog games.... A question I've asked a few of my Witcher-obsessed friends is how the "Simulate Witcher 2" option would have played out had I chosen it? I did not when I began my game on 3, although I'm not TOO far into it. Massive game! It looks like a keeper for sure and I'm glad I bought it (w/ a coupon, new copy for only $14.00.... was a nice coup and saves me $ for the DLC eventually!). I am just curious for those of you who have been through and to the end, or close to it: did you sim the Witcher 2 at the beginning, or no? Try to avoid spoilers, please. Thanks! I am just curious if I regret hitting that simulator... and before I get *too* deep into the game, I could still eat the 2-3 hrs I've invested so far and replay the beginning w/ the sim ON.... I just want to make sure turning it off was an OK choice, given that I will likely play Witcher2 as soon as my first playthru of 3 is completed.... I love this game, otherwise, is all I would say here... Have not even gotten to absorb a lot of it due to time restraints almost from the day I got it to today, but I plan to stay in and play a lot of catch-up today, getting more into the main quest. I was just learning the game and doing some sidequests to this point but still loving it! Really a good game.... and with FO4, the Skyrim remake coming... well, these two will likely keep me busy til that Skyrim remake comes out this fall/winter. Love/hate these massive RPG games.... they eat my life! (Or try to.)

Love/hate these massive RPG games.... they eat my life! (Or try to.) I chose not to simulate Witcher 2, if u don't there's a conversation quite near the start where you're asked about the events in Witcher 2 ( Choosing iorveth or Roche, what you do with Letho etc.). If you choose to simulate it'll read your save data from Witcher 2 and it will know the decisions you made and I think this little conversation part is cut out. It has some impact on the game and bits of dialogue, for instance there is a side mission in 3 with a character you have the option to kill in 2, so obviously depending on what you did will depend on this mission being available. I'm currently without internet and so have had time to progress the Blood and Wine DLC, really good story and a great addition to an already fantastic game.....just looking forward to Gwent now!

Slightly related, in between Overwatch sessions with @majoraggro I've been trying to 100% Witcher 2 and 3 meaning all possible endings and ing Death March difficulty. I instantly regret this decision. Especially as I'm preparing for the fight at Kaer Morhan on 3. On the bright side it looks like I'm going to have everyone there to help because I finally managed a playthrough where I haven't pissed of Dijkstra so I guess I get an A for effort there.

I went the land of 1000 fables route, ending up killing a transformed Detlaff. Syanna killed Anna and was then killed by Damien. Dont know if it changes but I got a visit from Ciri at the vineyard as well.

Then there are three endings as to who can meet you at the villa after the final fight.

And now there making complete edition right after I bought the standard game Ouch. That always sucks. But the stuff included in the complete edition is totally worth it.

How's traveling in this game? As much as I respected the many things Witcher 2 did well I despised trying to traverse the map (lol that side quest with the troll that's just you going back and forth from the forest to the town took me forever, not to mention at one point a quest marker telling me to go one place when the actual objective was on the complete opposite side of the map).
Basically; does it have a fast travel and how many quests involve trying to find things?

Basically; does it have a fast travel and how many quests involve trying to find things? They have fast travel, but between sign posts, that once you discover them you can travel between them. You can also do that with boat docks, if I remember right. The quests that involve finding things, in an area, aren't bad, they have the yellow circle on the mini map, that you have to search in, and it's not too bad.

I signed up for the beta on FB, or trial or whatever it was. Hope I can get into it. I'm so hype.

Despite having issues with the control scheme on the second game, I want to get this eventually. It didn't help that my 360 copy was unplayable due to a glitch that occurred every time I downloaded it. I do want to try this one out eventually though if I can find it cheaper

I do want to try this one out eventually though if I can find it cheaper You shouldn't have any issues finding it used, the base game. The control scheme is much more like a Bethesda style RPG in 3. Having just recently gone back to playing 2 for the achievements, 3's controls are better.
