Witcher 3 still really gets me.

I've played this game countless times.

 

Sometimes I've played to test for TW3 modders, mostly I've played because I love it.

 

I'm an emotional character... I cry listening to Racmaninov's 2nd piano concerto... a game can't get me emotional, can it? It can.

 

At times in the game I can't help it but I feel empty, hollow, gutted: like something's been torn out of me.

 

There are 2 moments that do leave me a bit distraught. I'll list them.

 

1. After the main game ends and you are plonked in an empty Kaer Morhen. Damn, but that's soul-destroying.No Lambert, Eskel and of course Vesemir. Ghost town. I hate it and want to get out ASAP. The place holds too many memories. What I loved about the place when I first got there I now hate, because it reminds me of what I've lost. Just when you get to understand Eskel and especially Lambert, you lose them... gutting!

 

2. Leaving Corvo Bianco. Having made the place beautiful, if you want to do NG+, you have to pack all your grand master gear into the stash. Paintings you can take down to save cash in NG+. Basically, you end up stripping the place bare, whilst Triss or Yen (if you've not messed up the wooing) is lounging outside...

 

... it's just awful...

 

... you then have to go back to wearing rags, albeit better rags, in terms of stats, but they look like rags nonetheless. Legendary rags, but still...

 

... this isn't nice. It's not that which upsets me about leaving Toussaint. I love Toussaint. Velen is dreary, White Orchand isn't much better. I like Skellige, but that's a long way off in NG+! C'est la vie!

 

I'm saying this about one aspect of TW3 that gets to me. What gets to you?

 

P.S. well done CDPR for making me feel this unhappy at times?
