I'll admit, I haven't watched it. Nor do I intend to. And I tried to allude to CDPR doing... something to explain it.

I've seen too many decent games ruined by hype trains, so I do my best to avoid them and form my own judgements.

I tend to be a lore nerd before a min-maxer in games, though that wasn't always the case.

The "best" build isn't always the most enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE theory crafting ridiculous shit - but if you trounce all your enemies, conquer every social interaction, and breeze through the game... where is the adventure?

Hell, the BEST DND player I've played with lasted three sessions. Second Edition. Gnome Fighter with 3 INT. He was, sadly, too dumb to live. But man, I enjoyed every session with that character. Barrel of laughs, and his "idiocy" could be really ingenious. Dangerous to everyone around him, friend or foe, but he got results.

Sadly, he re-rolled with a more optimized character. It survived, but it was not nearly as much fun.
