Did you like the story? (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)

What are your impressions of the game's ending? To be honest, I was somehow disappointed, compared to the previous two parts, the completion of the trilogy definitely lacked the scale and Intrigue, and this is after the Assassins of Kings! where I wanted to replay the game several times in different ways, enlisting the support of various characters and parties in order to unravel all the secrets and compose a complete storyline (so the first time passing for Roche, you could not even find out about the conspiracies of the sorceresses and who is the Dragon). In the wild hunt, we got the main story straight as a rail, and the impact on the state of the world was essentially reduced to zero, all key decisions will be reflected only in the afterword (in which for some reason they didn’t say a word about other important people in the game such as Philip, Buttercup, Zoltan, Priscila, Vernon, etc.) again strange compared to game number 2,

Compared to the first part, there was not enough plot tension here, which would grow as it progressed, and towards the end it would develop into something large-scale (then I really got cool emotions when Vizima was engulfed in war, the uprising of nonhumans was in full swing, and we this was the time to finish up with the Salamanders and the Order of the Flaming Rose). IMHO, with the growth of interest, everything was in order until the episode with the battle in Kaer Morhen, then the excitement began to decline because there were no big secrets, just "you need to kill the wild hunt", in the final hours of the game I was completely bored. The scale also let us down, I expected that our decisions would affect the fate of the region, and not just in the video after the credits, but naturally, so that we could see the clash of the troops of the north and the nilfs in Nograd, witnessed the restoration and action of the lodge of sorceresses, etc. By that I mean that the end of the plot with the battle against the Wild Hunt did not have enough epic scenery, made up of secondary stories that would reflect the changes in the world. In fact, the impression was made that the world is static during the denouement.

What do you think of it? In anticipation, I’ll say that I really liked the game as a whole, but the above listed moments upset me, especially against the background of how cool they were played in the previous parts of the saga.
