I also vote this. The side quest writing in the Witcher 3 is very high quality for the genre, and it’s easy enough to completely ignore the superfluous content like bandit camps and stuff littered around.

It’s a long game but it’s so good I never got that feeling of “uhhhgg this was fun but I’m ready to be done”. The thing about very good writing is that more is always better. Even excellent gameplay gets old after a while.
