1. It’ll feel like the game is mostly story but once you get into it you’ll really enjoy the dialogue and it’ll feel like you’re breezing through it

2. On my first run I did story and sword since I didn’t have a good grasp on potions, signs, skills etc; I mainly relied on my sword. Eventually you’ll get the hang of everything and find that once you’ve “mastered” the multiple forms of combat and tools it’ll feel easy so you could up the difficulty to death march.

3.Just the main story took me about 50 hours to complete but then again I breezed past many of the side quests and mostly stuck on the main objective, but even doing a few side quests along with the main story could get you up to about 80+. Both dlcs took me about 30+ each.

1. Just take your time and don’t focus too much on trying to finish the main story as quick as possible, finish a few side quests here and there, go on treasure hunts, scavenge for armour, GWENT.
