It's time to bring this thing back from the dead. It's been a long bout of meditation and upon my return I have found in my lap CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. A rekindled love affair as I had played this once already, but with the arrival of new DLC via the Expansion Pass, it warranted a second playthrough.
A whole slew of free downloadable content has kept players tethered to the vast fielded and mountainous lands of Temeria where, playing as the titular protaganist, Geralt of Rivia is on the search for his adoptive daughter Ciri under orders of the Emperor Emyhr var Emreis while battling off the Wild Hunt who require Ciri for their own ends. It's a long and winding epic, the final in a trilogy based on the Polish book series by Andrzej Sapkowski. The series has been praised massively for sticking, like glue, to the source material and realising it in astonishing detail.
