    Same mate, there's so much to do!! I've already renovated my new gaff fully and just went round killing new monsters and animals.

    Got the manticore witcher gear which is really good. But only done 2 missions of the main quest.

    Toussaint is beautiful. Only played a couple of hours but I'm doing some side quests before continuing with the main story. The wee Windmill areas are class.

    @MartinR - How do you get the Vineyard? Want to get it and spruce it up.

    You get the vineyard fairly early on, I think it's at the end of the first story mission.

    During the first main mission when you get given a key, just head back to where you first fight the female vampire that's looking at the severd hand. And speak to the guy close to the house. He'll give you a tour then ask if you want to fix the house.

    To fully fix the house it's about 20,000

    Word of advice...make sure you bring plenty of kits to repair your weapons...as you can back out and get more after a certain point....and I'm stuck with a duff sword for the end fight.

    I'm still on Heart of Stone which I started fairly recently.

    Really enjoying it, I did start up the Blood and Wine by mistake, but I reloaded it.

    Soon as I get that out the way, then I might get Far Cry Primal out the way and then back onto this.

    Well completed Heart of Stone, but went straight into Blood and Wine.

    Only just started though in the arena with the rock monster.

    Finished Blood & Wine at that start of last week, and it was great.

    I'd say the actual main quest line isn't as good as Hearts of Stone, but it's still a fantastic expansion all round. I don't think I've ever felt so gutted about finishing a game as I did then. The Witcher 3, including its expansions, should, and probably will, go down as one the greatest games ever made.

    Is a great game.

    I'm not far into it, quite a lot of missions, which is quite cool.

    However the levels are very high for the enemies.

    I'm on Level 41, but it's getting harder, currently on the Elven ceremony thing and I didn't last 10 seconds, lol.

    Mate it's solid if you try to fight the ones with swords first roll to the top where you can get round the corner and they will come to you use axii then charge in, then pick off the magic ones

    hah, thanks.

    Actually kinda found a right easy way to do it, up the stairs, they wouldn't followed me and I could regain my health and get back at them.

    I really need to level up, as looks like some of the missions are quite high on the enemy levels, and I'm no 41 at the moment.

    Completed this finally. Had to do all the other missions, one wasn't working so well. Defo one of the best games I've ever played. Easily the best ps4 game I've played. Money wise this was probably best buy I've ever made.

    The season pass is great value too.

    After going back and completing Metal Gear, this is next on my list. I poured 90 hours into MGSV, but I'm expecting maybe double that for The Witcher.

    Not looking forward to having to do the botchling or those 3 witches again.

    Bought the GOTY edition for a 29 bargain and wow.

    Its completely taken over any spare time I have, I played this when it came out on PC but downloading it with all the patches and DLC on PS4 Im having an unreal experience, 29 quid like * fifa!

    Graphics are jaw dropping even on playstation, I might actually try platnuming this.
