The Unreasonable But Correct Way To Play The Witcher 3

So you binged The Witcher on Netflix and now you want to replay The Witcher 3? Great. But if you're going to do it, you're going to do it right. Watch this video to see how.

Please add an English closed caption or write a transcript if you post the only video. I am one of those Deaf people and I felt this is deprived of the information... I want to know what you are saying about the correct way to play the Witcher 3.

Update: I found auto-generated English closed caption via YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhsUpcSp6wA

I discussed this with my significant other and subsequently got separated to have enough time to do this definitely.

And no fast travel! I'm serious. Take your time and enjoy the view. There's no rush. Also, this is the most natural way to eventually pass through almost every route and point of interest from as many angles as possible.

And yes, remove that minimap. This is very important. When you play with a minimap your eyes are fixed on that minimap all the time. You no longer look at the world around you and therefore you are no longer immersed in it. When you stop using the minimap, you get better and better at orienting yourself just by looking around you and you pay more attention.

See those castle walls way over there? You don't need a minimap to hold your hand. You can figure it out. Explore. Go where your curiosity leads you. Try different routes. You'll probably find something interesting along the way.

Also, deactivate the option to draw automatically the right sword when you encounter enemies. Draw manually and make sure you choose the right one. That will force you to always be aware of which sword is on which side and which one to use when or face the consequence of your mistake. After all you're supposed to be roleplaying as a witcher.

There is a lot to loot. A LOT. Especially in the city of Novigrad and in the sea around Skellige. Don't loot every crate everywhere obsessively if it starts to take the fun away. Loot some. Leave the rest for later. Play the game instead. You absolutely don't need to loot every crate right away.

@tsunami2311: No fast travel for me, but please do as you like. Make your own rules. Just remember that fast travel is there as a convenience that needs to be put in every game but it's not necessarily the best way to play a specific game. I also perceive FT as cheating but you're free to disagree.

Maybe Skyrim is better with FT though. IDK. A lot of games are better with FT because moving back and forth across locations is boring AF. In my experience this is not the case with TW3.

Entertaining vid. Needed some minimum specs on the PC build though! 2 x 2080 Ti's in SLI obviously.

We need more videos like this: informative, funny, and really really nerdy. Reminds me of old GameSpot. Keep it going.

Because being "informative" is relative? I know the video is trying to be funny and "unreasonable," but it did drop some information about the game series I never knew about. First, I didn't know the three games were a continuation of the novels. I always assumed the games were based on the novels. Many gamers here have even regurgitated this assumption. Second, I didn't know about the mods he recommended in the video except for the HD mod. Third, I never thought about playing the game in Polish with its Polish VAs. I've played all three games, but I'm now thinking about revisiting the game in Polish.

Lol. Funny video. It was helpful though because now I can maximize my enjoyment of the game by simply doing the exact opposite of every tip in this video!

If you're not bothering with a written article, I will not watch your video. Come man, stop taking the lazy approach.

@kgblizzy89:I think it means that they put more effort into this video than they would have writing an article instead, so the video isn't the "lazy approach."

@kallie: Booom, roasted. Lol. Seriously though, oftentimes a script is written on top of video editing.
