[quote=@Lamb Of Goth] Compared to games like Sonic Free Riders... it wasn't that bad. [/quote] Yeah but that's like comparing a piece of human feces with a piece of animal feces. No matter word you've got shit on your hands. But hey, more power to you for liking it. There were certainly some concepts that were potentially neat. Shame about the execution. [quote=@GingerBoi123] I just can't get into it and I can't pin down the exact reason. At first I thought it might've been. "Maybe I don't like fantasy games that much." But then I played Witcher 3 and loved it. I hadn't played any elder scrolls or witchers before my first experiences with either games so it's not like it was a series thing. So what was it? [/quote] One of them is better written. Skyrim and games like it are very much in the camp of 'Make your own stories with your adventure' and the main quest is just there as another option for you to 'add to the tale' or whatever. Nothing in Skyrim is particularly challenging. Everything is geared towards making you feel powerful. Oh you sold some vendor trash? Have some points in Speech! Oh you got hit by a greatsword? Don't worry about it, your armor skill's gone up! You're [i]told[/i] how good you are but the game doesn't really ever reflect that in any meaningful way. Guards will comment on your highest skill or your armor, but that's about it. It's not interested in creating a narrative or memorable characters; there's a reason the most 'memorable characters' from Skyrim are meme posts. It's about instant gratification for the player and the way it's designed makes it easy for players to literally be able to do everything with minimal fuss. It sets up the player as a prisoner, as Elder Scrolls games do, and within like two hours you're already pretty much the best. The Witcher is much more narrative driven from the start since you're not playing some character you create and come up with a backstory for, you're Geralt and as people are often reminding you: you're kind of just a necessary evil. You're not some larger than life hero, you're basically bossed around by Tywin Lannister and people dump on you when you come to solve their problems. Yes, The Witcher 3 is an open world game but it's less a power fantasy and more the adventures of a glorified mercenary. Its main quest is far more vital and its side stuff feeds into the world building. The combat is also a bit more involved and requires a bit more preparation than just 'use biggest most enchanted weapon'. So it's kind of understandable why one might click with you and the other wouldn't.
