Not exactly agreed in this department.
To me it is just that the games distanced themselves too much from the books (says the guy who hated reading until he was 16).
Witcher 2 succeeded moderately in taking care of the Witcher 1 heritage of choices, though many were lost even there.
Witcher 3 totally butchered the story of the previous games. That was a huge spit in the faces of all who appreciated the first 2 games. That's why imho we shouldn't glorify CD Projekt, but simply calmly boycott the DLC's or some other method to let them know that Witcher 3 is just not right. It needs an Enhanced Edition and the devs have all the resources now to make it - even if they officially say they aren't going to do it. Well, to each his own. But i'm not joining the hype train. Better gift my friends what I think are more succesful games - Witcher 1 and 2. But I will be reserved in advising to get Witcher 3, especially with the DLC's.
That individual contribution from our consumer choice matters a lot.
Have a good day. Let's have a focused agenda on what is not right with Witcher 3.
