The Witcher voice, is it Christopher Lambert?

Idk, the narrator sounded like Tywen from Game of Thrones.
Say goodbye to social life for the next weeks.Picked up my copy tonight.
Played a couple hours. First impressions are good. I'm early on, still in the tutorial, just met the blacksmith. I won my first hand at Gwent but I doubt I'll get into it. I don't play video games to play card games. I keep jumping off my horse and running around the countryside, so I'm not progressing down the main path very quickly.
Geralt has more personality this time around, and the game has more of a sense of humor. Graphics are nice. I'm understanding Geralt's stoicism better this time around, not just as generic tough guy stuff, but as a reflection of the breeding that removes most emotional response, plus the culture, which despises and uses him.
I like that the story seems more focused on personal relationships this time, rather than political alliances.
Why does "total time played" say 13 hrs? That's not accurate. Is that a bug?
Have you left your X1 (assuming you're playing on one) on standby with the game still running? I did that several times in the beginning, and now my play time is way off. It also encouraged bugs, like the horrid Save Bug. They may have patched that by now, but not before I lost over 5 hrs of playtime to it.
I would always hard quit out of this game when you're done for a few hours or more.
No problem! It's a shame both systems offer this feature, but that it leads to some annoying, and even serious issues. I always hard quit my games now, just not worth the risk to save 60 seconds of loading time.That must be it. I'm on the PS4, but I'm using the suspend/resume function. Maybe I'll just quit out, to be safe. Thanks for the heads up.

I see what people were talking about, regarding the depth of the side-quests. They're much better than the ones in the last RPG I played, DA:I. They each have their own stories, which aren't hackneyed but inventive, and sometimes there is a chain of steps you have to complete, not just a simple "go here, kill that" setup.

The quests in this game blow every single other RPG out the water imo. even the simplest looking sidequests can wind up being some intriguing side plot quest. It's a shame you end up levelling up too fast and do a few quests too low for your level. But the storylines are worth it.
Weapons/Armor, not really. I don't know how many times I've crafted a weapon or Armor only to find something better 20 minutes later. Sometimes I will use my Item even if it isn't the best I've got, lol. It's the Principal!Question: Is crafting essential in this game, or will I be able to find/buy most of what I need in the field? I understand that there are always advantages to crafting -- for people who put the time and effort into crafting, it always pays off -- but I'm wondering if I can forgo crafting without compromising the power of my character too much.
I ask because I've never been a fan of crafting -- it's always seemed like busywork to me -- and I'm hoping there's a way to bypass it, or at least minimize it. If I had my druthers, I'd rather find or buy the stuff I need, rather than go through the hassle of crafting.
I'm playing on normal difficulty.
