Whether this was your first time getting into the franchise or if you were a seasoned veteran coming off the other games and books, The Witcher 3 delivered -- something that's pretty hard to do in this age of hype and disappointment.

There's just so much to do in this game that you wonder why CD Projekt didn't charge double the money for this modern masterpiece. (Even though that still wouldn't cover all the content this game provides). So today, let's go through the stuff you didn't know you could do in The Witcher.

10 Hunt Ancient Tree Spirits

Starting off our list is one of the coolest, and certainly creepiest enemies you'll encounter through your time in the Witcher 3 -- Leshens.  These are forest-dwelling, highly intelligent creatures that trick many villages into worshiping them. But honestly, who can blame them.

Even though The Witcher is filled with plenty of psycho, therapist-inducing monsters, Leshens take the cake for being the most horrifying. The first time you encounter one while roaming through the forest you'll be so struck with awe and terror that you might as well just kiss your life goodbye.

9 Jedi Mind Trick Other Civilians

The Witcher 3 offers players something that we've all wanted to do at one point in our lives, and that's use mind control. Well, The Witcher 3 lets you explore this broken power, known as Axii.

It's so powerful that Geralt himself even comments several times on how he and other Witchers shouldn't abuse it. But that doesn't mean that he doesn't use it anyway -- on dimwitted individuals, soldiers, the elderly and even small children. No one is safe, and it's so much fun to use.

8 Play As Geralt's OP Daughter And Take Down An Army

Unlike any other game in the series The Witcher 3 allows you to take on the role of another character, Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, Geralt's adopted daughter who's also better known as Ciri. Throughout the game, you see different scenes through Ciri's eyes and almost immediately you notice the severe difference in power between her and Geralt.

It's a long story, but Ciri is a child of the Elder Blood, a long lineage of powerful people who have time-traveling abilities -- so yes, you get to try these out.

7 Find Other Witchers On Your Journey

Aside from your Witcher buddies that you meet up with later in the game, you may not know that there are other Witchers that you could find off the beaten path.

The first is a Witcher from the school of Cat that you'll find West of the Boatmakers Hut towards the center of the map. That quest is bonkers -- but it doesn't even compare to finding Letho of Gulet, the second game's primary antagonist. As long as you've spared him in the last game, you'll find him during a side quest only for severe antics to later ensue.

6 Affect Tons Of Things With Your Actions

At the end of the day, The Witcher 3 is still an RPG -- and this is something that's pretty easy to forget. Throughout the game, you're given an average of two dialogue options per conversation which leads you to think that your actions have little meaning.

It turns out that even sneezing on the wrong person can lead to one of the worst endings in the game. Just be careful during your journey, listen to everyone speak and make the decision that you're the most satisfied with. You're sure to find out this lesson early on, but we're warning you too.

5 Enter A Painting And Fight Spirits Inside Of It

"Scenes from a Marriage" is one of the final quests in The Witcher 3's Hearts of Stone DLC and it's one of the best quests in the entire game. A masterpiece filled with perfect quests left and right and, at the end of the game, you get hit with this gem.

We won't get too deep into spoilers, as every fan owes it to themselves to explore this quest to it's fullest, but we will say you get to travel into a painting (Luigi's Mansion style) and have to fight off some of the absolute creepiest bosses the game has to offer.

4 Uncover A Secret Vampire Organization

You're going to be dealing with vampires. A lot of vampires, in fact -- and they're higher vampires. (Boujee vamps, who can't be slain only temporarily incapacitated).

This DLC goes deep and, by the end of it, you don't know who you can or can't trust, and those are always the best stories.

3 Participate In Two Different Gwent Tournaments

 

Gwent is a gift and when other players say this really might be the best part of this game, they might be right. You start with a meager deck and the goal of the game is to have more units on the playing field than your opponent while using the fewest cards.

Easy to learn? Yes. Hard to master? Eh, not really. Just collect all of the spies and you're good. When you go up against stiff competition in the form of the game's Gwent Tournaments is when it gets really challenging and fun. One is located in Novigrad and the other in the Dutchy of Touissant.

2 Fist Fight A Bear

This is another one that is easily up there for being one of the best quests and the game, but you can only discover it if you're willing to fight for it -- literally. Fist fighting in Witcher 3 is a bit of an acquired taste. Sometimes you'll like it, sometimes you'll hate it. But, if you grind through it, you get to fight a bear, so why not?

To reach this quest, you'll have to defeat everyone in Skellige where you'll be put up against the "champ," who turns out to be a giant Grizzly named Olaf.

1 Fight Against The Embodiment Of Evil Itself

The Witcher 3 has some top-notch villains -- the Crones, Wild Hunt General Ilmerith and the leader of Hunt, Eredin are all interesting and well developed. But all pale in comparison to Gaunter O'Dimm, also known as Master Mirror.

This guy is evil, a demon with infinite power who uses it to slide spoons into eyeballs and slowly suck the life from beings who owe their soul to him. He is not to be messed with, and guess what? You mess with him. It's not your fault of course but, in Hearts of Stone, you owe him, and O'Dimm always collects on his debts.
