So the cutscenes I feel really bring the world alive, but it drives me nuts every time I need to talk to a merchant! It also helps that I've played 1 and finished 2. So I imported my saved game and it made sense to me. Literally played and finished 2 about 1 week before 3 came out.
The combat is a bit easy, try going for harder level enemies. I'm big into just roaming around and seeing whats out there. Level 22 now and my main quest line is grey since I've ignored it for so long :)

am level 25 now. have pretty much grinded 98% of the stuff to do in novigrad and leven now and working my way around skellige.
really enjoy playing gwent and am good at it but only one of my decks (the original one) is actually usable. the others all need shit loads of cards beyond the minimum of 22 to be worthwhile and am running out of merchants to get them from.
it's fun but the side quests and contracts (turns out because i'd been avoiding these was why my levelling took forever at first as they're high xp usually) are all getting a bit samey now. the big scripted quests are fun though. but when you run into a quest giver and for the fifth time in the row it turns out to be an ambush setup you kind of wonder if they ran out of ideas at some point.
other than finding/crafting witcher gear the loot is basically pointless too other than for selling for cash and I now have over 21k and 159/160 weight in crafting/usable items and 2 full sets of witcher gear.

Anyone playing Witcher 3 much then? I've finished the 1st (White Orchard) bit, but the combat feels so clunky and there's so much to talk to and loot that it kind of feels like actual work rather than a game. Being questioned about my involvement in past events (presumably relating to the first two games?) didn't help me feeling of boredom either.
Is it worth persevering?
