This is the first Witcher that I've really gotten in to. I've read some of the books prior to this, and I really like in the game how each sidequest is like a little short story. It's very well written.

some of the sidequests are better than main quests in a lot of games

The Bloody Baron side quest is very good. I seriously can't praise enough how well characterized these people are.

Its crazy how good the writing is, like everybody you meet even if they have three lines is a well developed character. Theres assholes you have to deal with a lot and cool characters that are there for five seconds and then gone forever.

Agreed.

I don't think I've ever played a game with more legitimately fleshed out side content.

the crones are really cool

I love the design. They showed up and were equal parts humanoid and revolting/unnatural to where I wanted to kill them instantly

not trying to troll, but when people say the world building and writing is good, + the design is good, the music is good. but nobdy is saying the combat + gameplay is good, then everything, imo, is probably actually bad.

The combat is fine enough for what it's trying to do. Like the above poster said, the combat is just used as a vessel to move you through the stories and missions, and it succeeds very well at that. There are games with better combat, but this one is good enough to keep me playing.

This game is easily the greatest game of all time, including the future, but gwent is trash for idiots and should be replaced by interactive pissing contests between Geralt of Rivia and his oponents

Gwent is fun, and might be my second or third favorite card game sidequest after Triple Triad and maybe Tetra Master.
