Indeed. Some games i'll play on harder difficulties, such as Racing Games. I accel at them, so it is more fun to have some kind of a challenge. But some other games, especially story driven ones, I may not want the stress of playing on harder difficulties.
Nothing wrong with playing either way.

Ok after playing this game so much and over 300+ hours already in the pc I finally decided to play on Death March difficulty which I never played before haha. :P
I just defeated Nithral the first main boss. So anything I should know that is related to that difficulty other than of course that we can't get healed while meditation and stuff?
Witcher 3 is one of those games you want to play on a harder difficulty. Its not an elitest thing, but the game works better when you cant outlevel/outgear it so quickly and more missions feel dangerous.
I just wish the combat felt better to play. Its so close to being a perfect game
Yes. There is a feat tax, buy the one which gives you food for 20 minutes or something stupidly long and never ever use any elixirs to regain health. Presto, you now passively regenerate health consuming water or eating bread.
Also, Witcher higher difficulties are bonkers and totally break the immersion for me, when my elite monster slayer spend minutes slashing naked chest deserters. Yeah...

It is and you will regardless of difficulty. The most irritating thing about it that there is a feat tax for regenerating health and exp is not hampered by difficulty. Non dlc bosses are also dodge, dodge, dodge, slash, slash, repeat from first dodge regardless of difficulty.
There is also no inheritated "danger" because you create alchemy build which is immortal.
You can also go bomb build and annihilate everything up to medium new game+. And in new game+ you can go heavy bear armor with cat weapons, change armor type to light and still annihilate everything with light attacks build, while having immortality of a full tank.
Point is, there are tons of builds to destroy any semblance of difficulty, which mostly is that you health regen need a feat tax and that naked, forest dwelling hobos take forever to kill.
Also, do you also on purpose do not use best equipment available because it can be op?
Damn for a second I thought this was official.
Gonna finally buy the DLC this weekend. Feel like starting a new game again and may as well get around to trying it out.
Any suggestions to get the most out of heart of stone and blood and wine?
Yeah I had been saving them for a rainy day. Saving them quite awhile lol. The combat put me off getting them earlier and I got distracted with dark souls 3. But I always planned on trying them some day!!
is the dlc better in new game + or at the end of the base game first playthrough?

Dunno, I found HoS to be weak. And short to boot. The whole story felt forced and overly dramatic. And contrived.
The wedding part was amusing, but forgettable. Also railroaded sex scene at the end, which can only be avoided by refusing right before, as opposed to being based on the whole day.
Apart from that, I did not enjoy that all of it is basically you having no control and doing what you are said. #NotMyGeralt
Overall, if you don't have EE, I would not recommend buying HoS.
Still playing BaW, done with side activities and finishing (starting, really) main story now. Have to say, location is amazing, and story makes some sense this time. Not to mention it's a lot more like the base game, but improved on.
