So I just read this book on history of games called "Blood, Sweat and Pixels" and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a try. Got any advice for me?

I would say do every actual sidequest but don't bother clearing the map of all question marks. Hunting for Witcher school gear is also just mostly cosmetic and optional, but they're the coolest armors and swords.

Also, if you're not playing on the lowest difficulty, read the infos in your journal regarding the creatures and prepare accordingly.

You don’t lie, trying to clear every question mark is what killed it for me back when. I think I stopped on the islands somewhere. And every time I pick it back up, the question marks kill it for me again. 😂

Same, the map is just overwhelming.
