I can’t stand how Geralt must enter “combat mode” before he can properly engage an enemy. I myself wasn’t a big fan of how Geralt controls in and outside of combat, and this expansion only further solidified my issues. The gameplay in Witcher 3 proved to be quite the divisive topic back when the game was released, and you’ll be hard pressed to find any changed opinions after Blood and Wine. Thankfully, the side quests offer interesting vignettes that are satisfying and easier to swallow. I kept hoping for some kind of twist that might make the whole thing decidedly gray in tone, but the potential outcomes are far more black and white than fans are expecting from this franchise. If Geralt chooses the more straightforward (or rational, in my opinion) option, Regis shows up again to try and change Geralt’s mind. At one point, Regis literally tells Geralt what the “good” solution to a problem is when given a choice of possible paths. These issues of the story are compounded by a startlingly un-Witcher way of dealing with player choice. “Let me get this straight, you’re worried about humans finding out about all of the vampires in the area and don’t want to start any trouble, so you decided to attack everyone with all of those vampires and murder hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent people? Yeah, let me know how that works out for ya.” On the other hand, the main “villain” of the piece is a raving lunatic who deals with his problems in an idiotic fashion that makes little to any sense.
Regis is a joy to interact with and adds some levity, spirit, and uniquely human insight to the proceedings. There is one highlight in Geralt’s friend Regis, who is voiced and written in stunning fashion. BaW continues this boring trend, unfortunately, with only a brief interlude in a wine cellar and an incredibly aggravating boss fight at the end standing out in my mind. The main game, Wild Hunt, started to feel like a chore towards the end, with lots of traveling from one location to another in order to have a key conversation and then fight some random beast or deal with lowly bandits. Geralt’s thrown into a mystery that isn’t very interesting and deals with characters who are a little bland and dull. The main quest of Blood and Wine, however, lacks a lot of the grandeur and spectacle of the countryside. Toussaint feels like it belongs in Geralt’s world, and that’s probably the highest praise one can give. The land is also massive, with tons of new quests to complete, monster nests to destroy, and places of power to locate. “Light” probably isn’t the best word to describe the new region, but it does speak to the carefree nature of her citizens and focus on chivalry and nobility instead of war and strife. Moving away from the downtrodden and war-torn landscape of the original game allows for a great deal of variety (and some very welcome sunshine). The countryside of Toussaint, The Witcher’s take on France and foppish aristocratic culture, is the real star of the show. I’ve had my ups and downs with our friend from Rivia, and this last piece of DLC bears all of those emotions in equal measure. He’s been a stable part of my gaming life for nearly five years now, starting with me finally playing the rough, but endearing original game and ending with a grand adventure that took an entire summer to finish. You can view its key features below.It’s exciting and also heartbreaking to think that Blood and Wine, the final expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, is the last time we’re going to see Geralt in a starring role (outside of the Gwent CCG, of course).
