It's a small riverside muddle of hovels, taverns and fields, its warm hues belying the deeper, darker stories within. Yet, following a story-driven tutorial, I end up losing myself to the very first landmark, the peasant village of White Orchard. The third entry in CD Projekt's fantasy RPG series may offer a new open world that's umpteen times bigger than previous entries. There's an immediate intimacy to my first three or so hours with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and no, I don't mean the bare buttocks I see in one of the opening cut scenes.
