geralt carries this shit pretty hard. really great protagonist. His constant dryness often leads to pretty good humor and really makes the moments when he does show emotion hit that much harder. Story overall is really good, and there's a ton of fun and interesting side quests. Geralt and Ciri's relationship really steals the show, which is good considering it's the focal point of the main story. This goes for both DLCs, too. Hearts of Stone is a great smaller side story, with a fun villain in Master Mirror. Blood and Wine has so much content and gives Geralt some great closure. The combat is where it slightly falls apart, though. In most battles all I did was mash X until everyone was dead. Gets a little repetative after a while. I was also constantly overleveled due to doing all the side quests, so most encounters were fairly easy. Except that final boss in Blood and Wine, that dude sucks.
