OK, having spent about 24 hours playing this game till day 87, trying to find all the content, regularly tabbing back and forth to search this thread, i can sum this up in one GIF.
This is a fantastic game, and i really enjoyed the art, the genre, and the playstyle.
That said, the Quest journal is woefully inadequate, and triggers for events, or the *need* to trigger events is hidden so deeply in the sandbox, you don't even know you are supposed to be looking for them.
Examples:
Had no idea i should even go west to look for Ciri Again.
Once Ciri was captured, and put into the basement,she disappeared... Still no idea where i should go to find her.
Having to do a regular sleep, in bed with both Laura and Linda, to advance the daughter plot, was totally hidden.
The need to speak with the Maid in the kitchen, after having spoken with her there a dozen times, to no response, was again, hidden.
I spent about 40 days trying to Linda pregnant again, because the game said having her give birth ASAP was important, so you could get her pregnant again ASAP...
The Quest Log either needs to be updated to include the information, or the game needs a wiki, if its going to remain that sandboxed.
