I really don’t have a desire to play Witcher 3 after my experiences with 1 & 2, but I am willing to give anything a shot. I don’t mind long exposition filled cut-scenes, and hell, I am not even a stickler for story - I played FF7 all the way through, that should say enough. The story-craft in Witcher is just bad, and that’s a shame, I really wanted to like it. I can give a thorough critique tomorrow when it isn’t 4AM.

I loved the first 2, so I’m entirely biased (totally disagree with you about the story in those games, they have some of the best story telling I’ve ever encountered in a game), however generally speaking even those who didn’t like the first 2 games are enjoying this a great deal. Check out the sub-reddit for a flavour of reactions, often from people who didn’t like the earlier games ://www.reddit/r/witcher/
I think it’s one of the greatest games ever made. In 10 years people will talk about The Witcher 3, the way people now talk about Baldurs Gate.
For those on PC and using Keyboard and Mouse, make sure to turn on mouse hardware acceleration. I was forced to use a controller until I did that and it made movement and combat so much better with KB&M.
