That’s essentially what’s happened every time I’ve tried to play The Witcher 3 over the past month. I start the game, all excited to continue hunting for Ciri, then I open up my list of quests and just freeze, scrolling down for a few minutes before I sigh and switch over to Netflix.

I am suffering from sidequest paralysis.
…
There’s too much to do and I want to do everything, so I wind up doing nothing.

It's IMO "hell, I can't just rush through the game's main story, ignore side content then bragg how fast I was - everyone will laugh at me!".

Yes dear article author and yes some comment makers there.
This game is not an hour of main story max and the rest of it filler idiocy.
Unless FO4 doesn't do something revolutionary (and I do expect it will try), after that article, there is absolutely no doubt what will be my vote at the end of this year.

Writer could try to set up a one man show with video products as the main topic.

So many things to do he ended on the couch watching TV… Looks like what happens when people face a long list of chores, it is so disheartening they prefer to skip them.

Speedrunning: many categories in speedrunning. Including one that means ending a walkthrough with any percentage of completion.

Will TW3 be a favourite for speedrunners? Number of side quests is a non issue. Yet speedrunners are passionate as they go through the same game over and over again, investigating everything, this or that, to find ways to go faster and faster.
Will TW3 be an object for that type of passion?

It will be known soon enough.
