While the characters aren't as endearing as in Hearts of Stone, the story is longer and the setting feels a lot more fleshed-out. Toussaint is an excellent area and is surprisingly large to boot. The area music is fantastic and the colorful environment is a pleasure to traverse. The sidequests are great, I particularly enjoyed the one where Geralt has to sit in a bank for hours trying to get the forms he needs to make a withdrawal and the one where he's the subject of a painting with a comical result. Getting my own vineyard was nice even if I didn't spend a lot of time there, it at least gave me something to spend my money on. Participating in the knight competition was also very cool even if a tad too easy and it's nice they added a new mutation system to help with unnecessary skill points. The main quest is very eventful, particularly the fantastical fairy tale segment and the vampire action. While the duchess and the villain weren't great, Regis, Detlaff and the knights of Toussaint made up for it with their likable personalities and sympathetic plights. I also quite liked how Blood and Wine works as a conclusion to the game overall with Geralt finally getting to happily live in peace with Yennefer in his own comfy vineyard.
