Almost size of Witcher 2 but only 10-20 hours?
It took me at least 50 hours to beat the game lol.
Can't wait!

Honestly, this is a much more bang for your buck then Skyrim. The amount of side content in the main game alone (and the quality of them), makes Witcher 3 already a lengthy game. And w/ these kind of expansions, damn.
The only benefit Skyrim had was all the modding. It was like the best sand box ever for modding. I spent like 200 hours alone modding. But in terms of content, I think the world and the missions are much much better and more substantial than Skyrim.
Game was so worth $60

On one hand, talk is talk, and my experience with an overwhelming majority of DLC even from developers I love is that they're never as long as they're advertised. And this is coming from someone who plays slow, and has shelled out for overpriced content that I still loved.
That being said, Wild Hunt had far more content and consistency in quality of that content than I expected, even while highly anticipating the game due to the talent involved.
Ten hours is, in practice, a lot of content. If the first pack can truly deliver on that, and the second doubles, then I'll be very impressed.

Hey, I like Gwent. Shame they removed dice poker, though. They could have kept both.

People getting excited over card games always makes me sigh. Card games. Good lord.

Yeh I hate this metric of 'game size' as opposed to game content, its entirely misleading. If the game world is super huge but there isnt a great deal in it, who cares how big it is.
Knowing CDPR there will be lots to do in it, but 'game world is x big compared to last gen / last title' doesnt resally tell you just shit about how much content is in it.
Skyrim has tons of content, though. You might prefer the content in TW3, but its definitely not better bang-for-buck or more substantial. And the Dragonborn expansion was a pretty significant chunk of new content as well.
Length of the content is what CDPR are talking about, not the world size.

They said the entire game was 100 hours in a normal run, 200 hours doing everything... and it was true, even if I thought it was an exaggeration. I needed 126 hours to do every quest, and still have dozens of question marks to explore.
So if they are saying now it's 10 hours + 20 hours, I will believe them.

I'm still waiting for that Gwent app, CDPR. We need one, and you know we do. Gwent all day, every day.
So in for these expansions. Gonna buy 'em with the PC version once I upgrade my GPU.

It's a fun mini game, the best one I can think of in... any game, I think.

CDPR claimed Witcher 3 took 200 hours to do everything in the game, main quest, side quests, and clearing every objective on the map, and thus far those claims are fairly spot on.
Consider we have people admitting to putting 130+ hours into the game and some just arriving at Skellige, I'd say the 30 additional hours for the expansion content factoring an entirely new region and additional quests and activities in Velen, isn't unrealistic.
Considering the game took me 100+ hours to finish, a 10h expansion sounds a little low actually (can't believe I'm saying that) but there's never too much Witcher 3.

I know, I've spent 160+ hours on it myself. But yeah, I'm just so used to DLC claims of "It'll take X hours" and even for myself usually lasting half that at best.
I don't really care, mind you. Wild Hunt is my GOTY with no contender so I know I'll enjoy whatever content the expansion packs deliver.

Nowhere near close to finishing W3, but I will buy this day 1. They deserve it for treating their fans proper and not microtransaction numbers. Couldn't believe at the physical content of opening a standard edition.

If it's anything like the Witcher 1 and 2 which the Enhanced Edition were free updates to the original version. Simply waiting until the EE to play the game won't really matter, if you own the base game already, you will likely end up getting the upgrade to the Enhanced Edition anyways.
I forgot they were free updates. Good deal.
Assuming you're being sarcastic here.
I have nothing against card games, I play hearthstone a fair bit. Gwent just isn't all that good. Its the best card game attached as a side thing to an rpg for sure. But I've heard people say its better then hearthstone, really? Come on.

He doesnt only name evey horse he has Roach. In the books he explicitly says that all the horses he has are mares, brown and with the white stripe in the nose.
Thats why it would be a little bit wrong from the books lore that they changed Roach's color, and CDPR loves respecting its source material, even in the smallets details, so...
Fixed for what people say about your hobby, and how stupid your statement makes you sound.

I know right, I hate it when people like things I don't like. Why couldn't everybody not like gwent like us.
Its funny, he probably seems like the type that will get bent out of shape if someone was mocking video games.

I really need to start The Witcher 3, don't I?
The sheer amount of content in these games is rather daunting. Any Gaffers have tips on how to manage my work/life balance around TW3? It is hard enough to find the time as it is.

Yes it was a lot shorter than the first game thats true.
But the game changes massively in the second playthrough when you change between Roche and Iorveth.
Still not as big as 1 and 3, but not that short either.
Games got 2 expansions at most in the golden days, so that would be the normal thing to do. And CDPR has said time and time again in this PRs that you dont need to but the season pass if you dont want, just wait an then decide.
