I sure hope CDPR is up to the task. Witcher 3 is one of the greatest games ever made, but I’ve been burned by Blizzard into knowing that a great trailer doesn’t portend a great game.
I booted it up recently, and it holds up really well. It hits a perfect balance of narrative and action while largely avoiding repetitive fetch quests and the like. And both of the DLC are excellent - Hearts of Stone has the best plot line in the game while Blood and Wine has the most beautiful locations.
I played the second late and then the third. I think it simplified too much some parts of the gameplay to please the mass, but the atmosphere and writing are still really good.

I need to actually start on 3. I’ve had it for several years, just never got around to playing it.

I’ve actually got both of those. Not sure when I bought them, but they’re on my account.
They came with the GOTY edition which was pretty much the standard version being sold after a while.
HoS is my favourite of them even though it adds some truly tedious enemies to the map, but BaW is huge and adds like another 50% to the base game.
