Could someone, without spoilers, hype me up to play this game?

I tried getting into the game a while ago, maybe 6 or 7 months ago, but i ended up dropping it to do some other stuff at the time. I never really disliked it that time around, and I recall making it to just after meeting Triss for the first time and remember doing the sub plot thing a bit before that. After dropping the game for so long, I want to pick it back up but I'm struggling to motivate myself to do so for whatever reason. My biggest gripe while playing was always that the combat (which is typically very very important to me) was never really all that amazing, so that's definitely part of why I don't currently have drive to get back into it.

Could anyone explain, without spoiling the things after where i said i was, how good the things are going to get? It's a pretty tough question and ask I imagine, but if it gets me back into the game, that'd be awesome! I really do want to look at this game the same way I hear so many others do, I'm just having a hard time motivating myself to hit play again.

I appreciate any replies :)
