Witcher 3 has some pretty cool crafting stuff in there, but on the default difficulty you can pretty much clear the game without ever changing your armor if you play it like a souls-like and are good with your dodges and rolls in combat.
It isn't until Blood and Broken Bones, or Death March difficulty where you really need to upgrade swallow and thunderbolt, and have a full array of oils to coat your blades with, and a decent array of upgraded bombs can get you out of a pinch.
Like, fighting a Bruxa on normal difficulty can be mildly annoying, buy you're never in any real danger. On Death March a Bruxa is the Bane of my ****ing existence.
Going into that fight without vampire blade oil (+10% damage vs vampires) superior dimeritium bombs (300 dmg per second and counters stealth) and Black Blood (15% damage inflicted returned on enemy) while having fully upgraded Swallow and Thunderbolt potions would essentially be suicide.
They're so ****ing fast and annoying as ****, so you really need all of these things just to stop the game from turning your battle into the equivalent of a level 1 trying to fight a level 40.
There's a point in one of the expansions in Toussaint where you have to fight 3 of these bitches at once, and it's one of the most rage inducing moments in the game on Death March.
