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 Without mods, Skyrim is a buggy, outdated mess with clunky combat and boring quests.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!
Witcher 3 was great in spite of its boring main story, saved by it's really great side quests.
At least Skyrim (only one I played), was fantastic at storytelling. All an opinion at the end of the day.
Everyone who clearly lacks A sense of adventure says that shit about quests, and you know it
What's the point in asking for other people's thoughts if this is how you respond? Did you just want to tell everyone how great you think the game is?
Edit: That's my bad. Did not realize this sub is called video game arguments, and was created recently by you.
