Witcher 3 forces me to play as Geralt that moves with the finesse of as 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood and somehow riding Roach is even worse. The inconsistencies in the combat make it a chore to play through. The writing, acting, music and visuals are doing the vast majority of the heavy lifting.

FWIW, since Patch 1.5 from 4 years ago, you can skip the braindance tutorial.

However, the "His own choomba shot him" line has already been burned into my brain before the patch.
