So I just read this book on history of games called “Blood, Sweat and Pixels” and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a try. Got any advice for me?

I’m nearly finishing up The Witcher 2. Judging from the discussions, I’m afraid of starting Witcher 3 because I have other backlog of games I have to finish as soon as possible.

Bought games from years ago I have to finish. Waste of money if I don’t complete them but I keep buying new ones.

First, stop buying games (*1)

Second, consider reading about the sunken costs fallacy, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+overcome+sunk+cost+fallacy

(*1) there’s piracy xdd

That’s why I am not buying new ones until I finish the others.

Edit: also, I do take the high seas. But only games coming from greedy devs who don’t deserve my money.

We all have a final deadline for finishing our backlog and experiencing as much as we can in this world.
