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 Without mods, Skyrim is a buggy, outdated mess with clunky combat and boring quests.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, and those two swords slice through more interesting enemies in one hour than Skyrim manages in the entire game. Let’s not forget, your precious dragons are dumb as rocks. I’d take a well-crafted griffin fight over that any day.

      At least in Skyrim, I’m not forced to play as an emotionally stunted brick. Geralt’s about as dynamic as a slab of granite. “Hmm, should I grunt here or over there?” Meanwhile, my Dragonborn can shout people off cliffs. Enjoy your medieval soap opera.

        Better a medieval soap opera than an aimless hiking simulator. Have fun picking up every piece of junk you find in Tamriel. I’ll be over here, actually making choices that matter and dealing with grown-up themes, not just hoarding cheese wheels.

          Oh, come on! At least in Skyrim, I can play how I want. Want to be a stealthy assassin or a powerful mage? Done. In The Witcher 3, you’re just following a pre-written script. Uh, hello? Freedom dude seriously. What Else do you not get?

            Freedom to do what? Break the game with mods because it’s so glitchy? I’d rather have a polished, coherent experience than a broken sandbox any day. Plus, Geralt’s story is legendary. Your Dragonborn? Just another silent protagonist with no personality.

              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.
