Oblivion without its megasaturation and bloom is gonna look weird

Right? I grew up in oblivion so when Skyrim came out with its dull brownish greys I was super disappointed, still can't really get into the game that much. Then a miracle happened and the Witcher 3: blood and wine came out. Toussaint was such a breath of fresh air, it reminded me that why I loved fantasy games was to feel like I was in a fantasy

That expansion was marvelous, nearly hit every note for me and I say that as someone with otherwise very mixed feelings for Witcher 3.

I was also not super into witcher 3. I liked it but I just didn't grab me. Would you mind saying a bit about what set blood and wine apart for you? I think I have it, and maybe it's time to give it a shot!

I don't personally find the gameplay in W3 very interesting so it was 90% story and 10% Gwent that limped me through the main game. Blood and Wine doesn't change gameplay at all but the setting is maybe the best I've had the pleasure of enjoying in a game probably ever. The art direction is just wonderful and they really set the scene from the opening moments. There are also a couple of end game touches they made. All of that added up to a very memorable experience for me. Honestly it's still far from my favorite game but it's still to this date the best thing CDPR has done IMO.

Hey, thanks. I started a play through file starting at blood and wine. Appreciate your rundown.
