But to each their own, TW3 is my GOTYAY because I've read the books. I find there to be very little I dislike about the games.
>>339961903
well;
>Weapons and Armor
pretty limited unless you mod it. in tw3 its also limited as well but by lore you are tied to 2 weapons anyways but in skyrim there is absolutely nothing that bounds you to anything regarding to weapons and still there are no proper spears/halberd like weapons and other weapon types are pretty limited so there is no excuse.
>Combat
absolutely clunky and shit combat for skyrim. tw3 doesnt have many different types of combat as well but skyrim is a worse tpye of shit.
>Exploration
all skyrim dungeons are copies of each other desu.
not that i like tw3 but it is better compared to skyrim for sure.
>>339961903
Woah, really makes you think huh...
>>339961903
Really, TW3 only needs more expansive dungeons, an optional needs system, and more punishing/tactical combat. The base system is actually quite serviceable, but, like Skyrim, never warrants its full utilization in any encounter. You can do a lot of cool, complex shit in TW3 but you never need to.
10 hours into witcher 3 and while i think its a good game. I also think its grossly overrated and misleading on pregame advertising in that its supposed to be a huge open world with no loading times. When in reality its not that open worlded, but a series of maps that do require loading times to travel between, much like inquisition. In fact this game is very similar to inquisition in alot of aspects. Which was also a good game.
But. I was expecting something new and amazing with perfect review scores and all the hype. I am severely let down. I will take a last gen skyrim over this for a few reasons.
1. The one map open world of skyrim was amazing.
2. The quests and dialogue of skyrim is unmatched, from killing an orphanage headmaster, uncovering mage school plots, thieves guild quests, demon quests, cisero lol, on top of the main storyline, etc.
3. 1st person is awesome. Even the dull melee combat of skyrim feels fun in 1st person. But ofc using magic was much more fun and varied.
4. Level system in skyrim is also unmatched imo. Even inquisition had a better leveling system imo.
Witcher 3 has good graphics, good story n quests, good combat, good crafting, etc but just doesnt live up to its hype nor surpass skyrim in any way for me. What u guys think?

Remove level limits and add more unique items.

Well in Skyrim you have more freedom. In TW3 you pretty much have to follow the questline or face coming up against something that's 10x your level if you wander off

Sort of? There were more roles to choose, but they didn't really mean anything outside of how you preferred killing people. Witcher 3 had more choices and, arguably, more impactful ways to define your character despite that character having a distinct history and personality.
TW3 doesn't have the goddamn fucking stupid Skryim Thieves Guild.
So yeah TW3.
SHOULDNT OF COME HERE

>>339963689
but still the game world is much more interesting than skyrim and every place is different than another.
>>339961903
None of that shit is good in Skyrim. If you said Morrowind and said Dragon's Dogma or Dark Messiah combat I would've agreed.
I sure wish I had geralt's ability to never get an sti.
I'd be fucking till the cows came home
>>339965632
If Skyrim isn't an RPG then how the hell is Witcher an RPG? Cutscenes and dialogue choices do not automatically make an RPG.
>>339965710
I disagree, always being Geralt with the same personality and backstory really limits the role-playing. You're just choosing how Geralt plays his already-decided role, and if that makes the game an RPG just about any game with a defined protagonist is also an RPG. Seems more like an adventure game.
If you take anything from Witcher 3 then you instantly turn your game into a piece of shit.

fuck Skyrim, only thing i'd take from that to TW3 is the modding kit
i do want the parry/reposte mechanic from the DS games though, and the more variable and difficult monsters
also some of the combat mechanics from Dragon's Dogma, like climbing monsters, but with better cameras
more weapon options would be neat, but Witchers use those two swords at the core so it's kinda difficult to break that
TW3 is my favorite game, but the two biggest things that irks me is the combat and gear progression
The only thing Skyrim has over TW3 is actually having an "open world".
>>339966049
There are two sides to roleplaying - the roles available and how the world reacts to them. Witcher 3 only has one major role, but it's considerably more nuanced and malleable than anything Skyrim has to offer. It's breadth versus depth, imo.

Even if Skyrim wasn't a steaming pill of crap this comparison would be retarded...
>>339966232
That breadth adds so much replay value though, I really don't enjoy role-playing as the same role resulting in some dialogue variations every time I play the game. Being the same voiced character with a set backstory, goals and motivations limits the role-playing, even if I have some amount of freedom within those limitations. Role-playing also applies to the combat/gameplay, you can choose the role you play there. Witcher is pretty limited in this area too, even compared to Skyrim.
I don't understand how something like Skyrim or Fallout 4 can get blasted for not being RPGs when they offer the player a lot more freedom in their role-playing than Witcher, which is held up as the pinnacle of modern RPGs. Not that those are particularly good games, I just can't wrap my head around the mental gymnastics required to hate those games but like Witcher 3 because they're similar in so many ways.
>>339966619

Theoretically, but TW3 did a horrible job of it since the assigned levels were entirely arbitrary and there was often nothing to actually look forward to.

>>339964046
What the fuck.
Shitposters actually just copy paste shit from other forums? Are they that lazy?
Though I guess if you know nothing about the game you're shitposting about sourcing your shitpost from elsewhere kinda makes sense.
Witcher 3's combat is far from perfect but it's a fuck of a lot better than Skyrim's
>>339966720
>That breadth adds so much replay value though
If this was Morrowind, I'd agree with you. As it is, you can experience almost all the content vanilla Skyrim has to offer in a single playthrough. Even the Civil War plays out identically (as far as quests are concerned) for both sides, with hardly any significant variations once you actually win. If the game doesn't react to your role, you're basically playing pretend.
People shit on Fallout 4 and Skyrim because the roles themselves are almost completely inconsequential. You are given very few genuine opportunities to define your character in any way beyond how they kill people. Witcher 3, with its plethora of grey-and-gray choices and resulting consequences, makes for a more satisfying roleplaying experience. Witcher 1 & 2 do a better job of this, of course, but such is the nature of hub-centric, act-based games.
What the fuck is the problem with W3's combat? If you've played through the first two games and you're still complaining maybe you should jump off a bridge you fucking degenerate

But the consequences in Witcher are pretty minor too, resulting in different dialogue or a character not being at a certain point later. It's not like an adventure game with drastically different paths and endings.
Most of the praise I see the game get is centered around its narrative and presentation, and while they may be good, that's not what makes a game good in my opinion. The world is rather dull and exploring results in the same randomized loot you get in games like Skyrim, landmarks are often just bandit hideouts with, again, the same loot (draugur caves anyone?) The combat is extremely limited, comparatively few weapons/armor to choose from and your "builds" aren't too varied. The actual game parts of Witcher just don't hold up for the same reasons people say Skyrim/Fallout don't.
>>339968323
When these are developed, dynamic characters with several complex NPC-player interactions, those consequences are indeed significant. Compare the Bloody Baron to Jarl Balgruuf, for instance - not only is the Baron a much more interesting, compelling character, the player can have a much greater effect on his life and presence within the gameworld, as well as his character arc. The same cannot be said for Balgruuf, with which the player can, at most, force him to abdicate his throne. The interactions Geralt have with Strenger allow the player to express their views on a variety of subjects like rule of law, fidelity, revenge, etc., better defining their own version of Geralt. The same does not hold true at all for Balgruuf, or any character in Skyrim for that matter. That's what makes TW3 a better roleplaying game.
