Good writing coupled with tedious legwork makes for a mediocre experience overall. At least if you disable quest helpers (after every step of the quest because they keep turning themselves back on) you need to engage your brain to find the dziwkas, I'll give them that at least.

Nearly allll the quests in the game have tedious legwork (or tedious horse riding), so no, that element doesn't automatically make a quest bad (they're just game mechanics), especially when the other important elements are there and more than make up for it.

Think I'll just add some levels with cheat engine and get the game finished.
I was gonna wait on a 2nd playthrough anyway as I wanted to get the game out my system a bit before playing again.

Well, the obvious one we have kept mentioning? Story telling. Add to that great or at least interesting characters, intertwine with other quests/characters, which this game does really good as well.

No, running from NPC A to NPC B to NPC C is not a "quest", at least not a well-designed one in the context of an RPG. If telling a good story is all that mattered this might as well be a CYOA game where you click through story slides from start to finish.

Not every quest needs to have 3 dragons and brimstone fire from the sky to be enjoyable, y'know. Dandelion quest is a nice (and welcome) change of pace.

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm not doing all of Novigrad at once, but I'm really not feeling any tediousness. I'm doing some monster hunting, some detective work, a dungeon and sure, some talking here and there, while I'm searching for clues about Dandelion. It's really not much different than in any other part of the game - except it's in a city setting, instead of small villages and/or the wilderness. It's kinda what I expected before I went into the city.
Oxenfurt, on the other hand, did indeed feel somewhat dissapointing.

Yep Oxenfurt has been a bit underwhelming, both in terms of story (at least it had Radovid) and especially in terms of gameplay and activities. I mean that fairly big area that is the Academy, which is inaccessible (without exploits at least) could have been used in the game but from the comments I've been reading it isn't at all. Maybe in the expansions? Anyway, severely underutilized.

It's a great fucking game. Just entered Oxenfurt and it's a great city but nothing to do there or almost nothing so that is absolutely bullshit. Dogshit even.
Main and sidequests still get me XP so far....

There are a few quests later in the game that take place there. The first 10 hour DLC is supposed to be centered around the city, I wonder if it's cut content because the place feels pretty empty right now.

Story DLCs are most welcome for the Witcher! I wouldnt mind fucking äh buying them.
