@Planeforger:

1. Wrong. All the maps in the witcher 3 are maybe 1/5th of skyrims map at best. And i actually prefer fast travel in skyrim compared to having to run to a signpost in witcher

2. Ur opinion. Ive never seen any game come anywhere near as good as the quests in skyrim. Even topping Kotor when it first came out

3. Ok. Then that rlly makes the witcher combat mundane

4. Skyrims leveling is fun for me since u level up the more u use skills and have complete freedom to mix and match n experiment and level as u plz. I think the skill trees in witch are horrible. Or any game that forces u to raise the same skill 5 points just to get to the next branch. Seems like needless boring padding.

@quatoe: in dialogue i guess i mean moreso the story/quests. Not the voice acting. Cuz ya. Skyrim could of used alot more voice actors lol

@Wickerman777: good point. didnt know that

@Wickerman777:

Not sure how u got that out of my post. If anything its an inquisition 2.

my skyrim comparison was made because skyrim was simply amazing and unlike anything else when it came out. I was expecting the same type of "amazement" from witcher 3 based upon the reviews and hype, not a direct gameplay sequel. Sorry if i didnt make that clear.

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?
