Its narrative received critical acclaim. Carter praised the cast of characters, which he called unique and interesting. He considered the narrative more involving, with players witnessing key events and making consequential choices.[107] Wallace praised the game's dialogue and its side-quests; each was similar to a short story, and player decisions in the quests would influence the state of the world.

However, she was disappointed with the quality of the game's endings.[108] Kevin Van Ord of GameSpot echoed Wallace, noting that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's story had more characterisation for Geralt than the previous games.

Polynomial least squares were used to determine its efficacy, and it was found to eliminate bugs from the system and reduce loading times.[63] Each character was given a unique personality to contrast the THE WITCHER 3 fetch-quest system typically used in video games.
