I Really Want to Get Back into The Witcher 3 but I Have Save Game Anxiety

A Polygon writer wants to return to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for its free Remastered update and next year's Songs of the Past expansion, but can't decide which of his many saves to resume. His options include a PlayStation save stuck mid-Blood and Wine, a four-year-old Steam Death March save parked before a boss, and several earlier runs. Because the Remastered update reworks combat and skill trees, every save except a fresh one refunds skill points and requires rebuilding the character, so he leans toward starting Blood and Wine with a premade character.
