This has raised questions about how new players should go about playing through the game.

Should they stick to the main quests so they can experience the story without distractions?

Or should they have a go at explore all the wonderful side quests?

Solely playing themain questsallows you to experience the most vital parts of the game.

The beautiful Roach can be clunky to control, and riding her for long distances isn’t fun.

Boats are even worse, as sailing one inWitcher 3is just plain dull.

Some of them are entertaining, whereas others have fascinating backstories.

One of the standouts is Letho, who originally appeared inWitcher 2.

Letho is a Witcher who was one of the main antagonists in the second game.

Skipping them means missing some of the best parts of the game.

Sticking to the main story allows you to experience how the narrative would actually play out.

This is because, in the main questline, Geralt doesn’t get much chance to do his job.

The side quests (particularly the Witcher contracts) are a better representation of the usual Witcher life.
