The Witcher 3...I've completed it.
There have been reports of various incidents, but it's important to verify from reliable sources before forming a conclusion.
He's actually quite low in terms of levels. Evidence that he skipped through a lot of content. I ended the story at level 35. Also after the (spoilers!) Battle of Kaer Morhen, you get fed EXP big time. Story quests often give you like 1000-3000 EXP past that point. I finished with around 80 hours of playtime btw, and I estimate I spent around 50-60 of the those hours doing story or related quests. Also each subsequent area starts raising the story's pace. Velen is pretty god damn slow, but Novigrad was much faster, and Skellige went by in almost an instant (shame because there's actually a lot of interesting stuff in Skellige but due to the need to have a loading screen between the Velen/Novigrad map and Skellige, it's annoying to go back and forth). Not to say that the pacing is bad, the pacing is rather excellent, but it could have been better and even more fleshed out. (SPOILER) Don't be a playboy, it will come to bite you in the ass.
I bypassed much of the conversation and quickly advanced toward the end of the game. I returned to The Isle of Mists to restart, finding myself at level 19 by then.
