You absolutely should.
How much replayability does it have?
Well, there's 36 endings. There's many choices throughout the game too.
Quote
How much content does it have compared to something like TES or Fallout?
Significantly more. They have nothing on TW3.
The main questline alone is 50+ hours. Then there's literally a shit ton of side quests and Witcher contracts, and they're not just your average fetch quests and shit; a significant amount of them are narrative driven to some degree.

How open worlded is it?
It's enormous. It dwarfs Skyrim's open world, and entering buildings is completely seamless.

It's really good, but it does lag a lot and I've ran into a modest amount of bugs.

This on PC? I've not experienced any lag or many bugs (bar the save glitch, but that's been patched for PC and will be soon for consoles)

Yes. It's hands-down the best game i've played in a very, very long time. Come to think of it, it's probably the best game i've ever played.

What do you mean by lag? Do you mean the stuttering in some sections or the shitty horse and boat controls? And more on the bugs?

You have a strange obsession with calling out users by name. Do you get a buzz from it? A rush of blood to head perhaps? It's unnatural, the frequency of which you include other user's names in your replies.

I forgot an Internet forum was school. Orthography doesn't really matter here.

Funny, since you took offence at my earlier instance of sentence structure.

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
Honestly, I really can't get into this game. Quantity over quality is the best way I can describe it. Sure, everything is astronomical in terms of sheer size, but it lacks that general spark that most RPGs require in order for me to be fully immersed. The dialogue options are lacklustre at best, at least compared to other RPG games I've played. Controls are insufferably clunky, and not just the combat. Climbing aboard your horse or trying to do a semblance of acrobatics is downright infuriating. I've had less trouble trying to traverse from place to place in Fable III.

The looting and reward system is horrendously designed. Not only is it a pain in the arse to acquire schematics, to acquire resources, to acquire a singular piece of gear just so you can advance the main quest when playing on a difficulty above normal, but it's a patently obvious antithesis of what an RPG should essentially be about: choice. Side quests are basically compulsory, as opposed to being an optional enhancement to the game, that is, if you actually want to progress Geralt in terms of gear. Main quest loots/rewards almost never yield any significant items that can be aided for combat/alchemy/etc etc.

I honestly have a ton of more criticisms of the game, and I need to play a bit more in order for me to render a final verdict. I think there's some brilliant aspects that have been expertly crafted into the final product too, but they just can't make up for the negatives that detract from my experience. I'm hoping this is remedied as I progress through the game, although it certainly is off to a bad start, at least, IMO.

Just thought I'd throw in a contrasting opinion amongst the irritating echo chamber of the gaming forum so you get a perspective of both sides of the argument, instead of just one big circle jerking opinion, which more often than not, tends to be a regular occurrence here.

there's a difference between not capitalising and not finishing your sentences

I did finish my sentence. It really is not my problem that you lack the ability to read between the lines or merely to remember the beginning of the sentence by the time that your dull mind has trundled along to the end of the sentence.

Using 'it' or 'one' is part of the English language, i'm so sorry that you were never thoroughly taught such a means of communication.
