ANOTHER REASON THIS GAME WAS PRETTY MEDIOCRE GIVEN EVERYTHING THEY PUT INTO IT: <br />TO GET A SPECIFIC ENDING YOU HAVE TO DO A WHOLE CHECKLIST OF THINGS (EASILY MISSABLE) AND IN THIS PARTICULAR QUEST (I THINK IT'S THIS ONE) FOR ONE LIIIIITLELITTLE SUBTLE THING I ENDED UP NOT GETTING THE ENDING I WANTED AND THEREFORE THE SAME ONE I DID LAST TIME <br />I WAS EXPECTING MORE SINCE I WANTED TO DO MORE SIDEQUESTS BUT IT WAS JUST THE IDENTICAL PAINFUL BORING GRIND (EVEN MORE SO THIS TIME OF COURSE) <br />ALSO, I WANTED TO GET A DIFFERENT ENDING BUT FOR SOME REALLY NUANCE SUBTLE SIDEQUEST CHOICE YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU DO/DON'T DO A CERTAIN ACTION IF YOU MESS UP ON THAT EVERYTHING YOU DID TO GET A PARTICULAR ENDING BECOMES IRRELEVANT SO I GOT THE SAME ENDING <br />STILL 7.0 OUT OF 10 <br /> <br />MY NUMBER ONE REASON WHY THIS GAME ULTIMATELY DID NOT ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE IS THIS: EXCESSIVE EXCESSIVE EXTREME ENDLESS MOUTH FLAPPING I THINK IF YOU BROKE IT DOWN THIS PLAYTHROUGH WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE - AND THIS IS LIKE 250+ HOURS: 70% MOUTH FLAPPING, 20% TRAVELING, 10% GAMEPLAY/ACTION, HALF OF WHICH IS EASY BORING REPETITIVE MINISIDEQUESTS <br />COMBAT SYSTEM WAS NOTICEABLY FLAWED <br />ENDLESS EXTREME BORING PAINFULLY REDUNDANT MINI SIDEQUESTS MAJORITY OF WHICH WERE SUPER BORING, EASY AND REQUIRED YOU TO ENDURE ENDLESS TOWNPEOPLE MOUTHFLAPPING; 80% OF THOSE FLOODED ICONS ON THE MINIMAP (ENDLESS AMOUNTS) WERE LIKE THAT AND FOR SOME DEMENTED REASON ALMOST ALL YIELDED PATHETIC XP AMOUNTS <br />THE ONLY REAL GOOD SPECTACULAR THING I CAN THINK OF WAS SEXY WHITE GIRL CIRI, YENNEFER, TRISH AND FEW OTHERS: ALMOST FLAWLESSLY DONE <br />7.0 OUT OF 10
