10 Best Wrong Ways To Play The Witcher 3

 The Witcher 3 might just be one of the most legendary modern RPGs you can pick up and play. It’s filled with dozens of hours of lore, plenty of unique decisions for you to make, and hundreds of hours of questing.

With so much to do, it’s also possible for you to play The Witcher 3 the 'wrong' way. You can make all the decisions Geralt never would in canon, hinder your own gameplay experience in drastic ways, and ignore the entire concept of an RPG. With more room for choice, you can play your favorite games however you want — it just doesn’t mean it’s always right.

Be A Neglectful Dad

The main quest of The Witcher 3 has you on the hunt for Ciri before the Wild Hunt can get their hands on her first. Thanks to the sheer level of control you have, you can be the world’s most neglectful dad if you really want to.

You can take your time on all those side quests, especially the meaningless ones, and when you do finally find Ciri, you can be completely uninterested in her plight. This will almost certainly lead you to one of the bad endings, but those are the breaks for neglectful sad dads.

If you do decide to play as a neglectful dad, you may get a taste for a bit more of a twisted and darker Geralt. You can make the iconic fantasy character a much angrier and quick-to-violence sort of character with some simple dialogue options in your encounters.

You can go around killing some vitally important characters who can aid you later on, or just leave them for dead if you really want to. Your Geralt can be an absolute terror and the kind that would voluntarily join the Wild Hunt.

You could be the kind of person who sees what the main drive of the game is and decide that Geralt would do everything in his power to find Ciri as quickly as possible. To do that, you’d have to completely ignore all the wonderful side quests and side adventures Geralt can have.

You’ll completely miss out on tons of key character-building and world-building moments in The Witcher 3, but you’ll know you did everything you could to be the best dad possible for Ciri. Who needs all those extra hours of fun? That’s what new-game plus is for.

The world of The Witcher 3 is one of the most expansive in fantasy RPGs. There are tons of secrets that you can find across the land that you won’t even manage to spot as you’re side-questing. It’s on you to discover the world.

Of course, you can completely skip all of that exploration because, just like side quests, exploration would also take away from finding Ciri. If you roleplay, you can even justify it as Geralt having already seen much of the lands anyway.
