Just wanted to share my appreciation of the game.

I grabbed a copy of this game a year ago, taking advantage of a sale and ahead of the massive update. Then forgot about it, never touched it.

Fast forward a year later, and now I got a steam deck and decided to dive into the game. I love it. I'm just a few hours in but I can already say this is among my favorite games. The broad openness of the world, the level of detail, the characters, the interactive dialogs, the items, the strategies, the game mechanics. It's a very involved game. It really is up there. Thank you CDPR for this game and this remake.

Thanks for the advice! I'll make sure to keep an eye open, I am definitely exploring and the other day I landed on a totally OP monster that the game warned me I definitely wanted to flee from, I shat my pants and laughed, both at once.

Also, on the topic of dialogue, the various responses have different shades of yellow (ignoring options which require higher skills to unlock). I interpret the intense yellow options to be necessary responses to pursue the dialogue from a storyline perspective and the fades yellow options more to fulfill my curiosity, is that right?

Yup, exactly. The yellow ones will progress the conversation into the minimum necessary dialogue to complete the mission, and the others are usually just extra context. I say usually because occasionally there are clues in those sections that will let you make better decisions later on that wouldn't have been obvious, or even open up new "yellow" options if you keep digging at them.
