The DLCs are definitely worth it, especially Blood and Wine which combines the charming and sinister in a way that rivals the main game.I still enjoyed the game enough to finish its main part (probably will finish the DLCs too).
Yeah, I've expressed before why I think playing at least the second game first enhances your enjoyment going into the Witcher 3. It was better designed to serve an introductory role for console players and other new groups of people, while the third game is more of a continuation for something that had already been established and familiar to modern players by that point.I suppose another factor in my "disappointment" is that I jumped right into Witcher 3, without playing the two previous titles, so I kinda felt thrown in a love triangle (picked Yenn ) that I didn't care about and rescuing friends I didn't know I had (Dande-who?).
There are a few, although I wouldn't exactly call them mechanics. Aside from deflecting arrows with Aard, you can also knock enemies from high places, and once you mutate it you can freeze them and shoot your crossbow for an instant kill. There's also a separate ability you can unlock which lets you deflect projectiles back at the enemy if I remember correctly. Most if not all of these are tied to an achievement, so you can easily find out what they are if you're interested.Are there more cool mechanics like that hidden in the game?
