I played it at launch. It was buggy. But even without the bugs, it doesn't hold a candle to Witcher 3.

How's Witcher 3 politically? I stayed until the Baron, then dipped, because afaik they wanted me to feel sympathy for a monster? Been a while. Also does the gameplay improve? I do love Gwynt and Gerald is an ok protagonist with that sexy Henry Cavill mod installed

well, if the first think you ask about a game is how well is their politics, basically you get restricted only to disco elysiumn. but since you asked, is weak, at most you have the scoia tiel, but the show and the game portray then as just bandits, some court drama here and there and one quest near the end where you can kill the mad king.

the baron quest imo is one of the most interesting parts of the game imo, it shows gerald character as an honorable and compassionate man, the monster in question is a botchling, it spawns from stillborns that were not properly buried, so they are not a fault for being that way, even tho they kill people, so instead of just hacking it with your sword, you can perform a ritual to properly lay the soul to rest.
