The harsh truth you can't handle about video games.

Hey everyone,

After sinking countless hours into various RPGs, I have to say it: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt completely obliterates anything the Elder Scrolls series has ever done. Here’s why:

The Witcher 3:

  • Storytelling: Geralt's journey is a masterclass in narrative. The Elder Scrolls games? Bland, generic plots with zero emotional impact.
  • Character Depth: Every character in The Witcher 3 feels real and complex. In Elder Scrolls, characters are nothing but quest dispensers.
  • Choices Matter: In The Witcher 3, your decisions have real consequences. Elder Scrolls? Good luck finding a choice that matters outside of picking your character’s race.
  • Voice Acting: Geralt’s voice acting is iconic, while Elder Scrolls NPCs sound like they’re reading from a script for the first time.
  • World Design: The Continent feels alive and meticulously crafted. Tamriel, on the other hand, is just a lifeless sandbox filled with repetitive dungeons.

I know some people love the freedom and modding in Elder Scrolls, but let’s be real: mods shouldn’t be necessary to make a game enjoyable. Without mods, Skyrim is a buggy, outdated mess with clunky combat and boring quests.

So, what’s the appeal? Why settle for a shallow experience when you can have an epic, emotionally engaging adventure in The Witcher 3? Let’s hear it!

Yeah, because nothing says personality like brooding and grunting 24/7. Skyrim’s world is infinitely more engaging. You can keep your monster contracts and depressing tone. I'll be enjoying my epic adventures, thank you very much.
