As for playthrough, I was so far exploring Velen and didn't even get to Novigrad yet :)
Spoiler, click me
And one thing to note about importing the save from TW2.

I've been going about in the game and trying to wrap up stuff here and there, but it's just too much. There are so many side quests and question marks everywhere, that it became a little boring going hither and tither trying to 'close them', as I usually do in RPGs. So I moved on with the story instead. And holy mother of all that is awesome. Obviously won't spoil anything, but it was quite something else. Presumably much the same impression that most others had on their first time through the game. Sat back in the chair and felt like I was watching a movie, getting emotional.
In a vast amount of games, all these cutscenes just feel tacked on and cheesy. Not here. A friend of mine is playing through it as well, and I can't wait to he gets there too (in two months, haha!) so we can share our impressions about it. Ofc I wouldn't want to ruin it for him either.
You have something to look forward to shmerl ;-)

I like how CDPR work on different environments. Farcorners feels quite distinct.

Haven't checked FPS on my end, but it feels really smooth, although the Geforce 770 is a few years old now.
As in all the other games, I wish they had the Cat "potion" as a toggle instead of needing a time-based potion for it. It's something witchers can do naturally. And if you chug down a Cat potion and happen to walk outside, you can't see crap. That particular mod is something I always used in the original Witcher. Simply made more sense, also lore-wise.

Yeah, you'd need to drink White Honey to remove the effect.

Also, if you often rely on food instead of potions, you can try Gourmet.

Finished the main story yesterday actually, and HOLY SHIT!!! I shan't say anything this or that way, only that I was impressed. Like before, I kinda sat back in the chair and enjoyed some of the stuff happening. I've no idea who much of the story will change based on whatever you do throughout the game, though.
Am now thinking about whether to try a New Game+, or to go right into the expansions. Effectively playing through the whole game again may be a bit much, but I'm probably leaning that way anyway. Partly because I read that if you first do the expansions and then go for NG+, everything will be pretty easy again, because you are overleveled.
May need to fickle about with settings, however, as the game has been crashing from time to time suddenly, which it didn't do before. Typically when loading a new area after using fast travel, or when the game goes into a major cutscene. Not such a big deal that the sound started crackling every 10-20 hours or something, but the game crashing is a good deal worse, because then I need to start saving a whole lot more than I have done for fear I will lose important progress.
As usual I spent quite some hours just wandering about talking to people, climbing up wherever I could get some nice picturesque views, and doing various side quests and hunting "question marks". Still hundreds of them left, and I'm kinda surprised the hour count isn't even higher, but yeah.... <3

I mostly went for sign skills, though I did prefer to often use the sword against foes, instead of just blasting them with fireballs or whatever. Quen is an absolute life saver, though.
