    Here, me. The Ciri parts were like someone shoved a linear action adventure into the open world RPG I wanted to play.

      I wanted to progress the main story but every time it was a ciri part I was trying to rush through to get back to Geralt and go kill monsters and collect items lol

        I agree, but I liked the pacing of it. Ciri’s fights were pretty fun, unchallenging as they were. The fact that they were pretty sparse and short probably helped

          They were the most challenging on the hardest difficulty at least with Geralt you can RPG.

            Interesting. Death march was a bit too much for me in the beginning so I played most of the campaign in Blood and Broken Bones and the main missions were all pretty easy. I think I ultimately switched to death march because by the end I had optimized the fun out of the combat loop.

              Yeah but you can’t optimize when you play as her. One of the last times against the witches I remember having to replay it a couple times lol
