In your travels, Geralt will gain ability points (both by leveling up, and discovering Places of Power for the first time). There are a lot of activities to do in the game and you can easily spend 100+ hours on the extra content on top of the main quests. The Witcher 3 is an enormous game that features open-world exploration, side quests, main quests, crafting, alchemy, and Gwent, a popular card game. Geralt sets off on a quest to find Yennefer that will span continents and reunite him with his lost protege Ciri. He recieves a mysterious letter from his former lover, the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg. The Witcher 3 resumes Geralt's story after the events of The Witcher 2, which finds the Northern Realms under attack by a Nilfgaardian occupation force.
