Bout to be an even bigger lack if I can be fucked to drop a deuce.

One thing was made abundantly clear from the start: this was certainly not her attic laboratory. As the light subsided and the surroundings became much more clear, Rinh found herself standing amdist others who seemed genuinely confused. Rinh was still standing in the same pose she had used to burn her letter. Gauntlet extended in front of her like she was about to fire off some kind of attack from her palm, feet planted firmly on the ground, and her non-Gauntlet hand raised above her head like she was about to swing it down in a chop. It was only after the booming voice bade everyone welcome that she realized her stance, her strange location, and the fact that she was most certainly not alone.

Rinh didn't even care to watch the dazzling display of magic from the sword-cane thing. She rushed towards the nearest tree, just off the side of the pathway they had been on, and tapped on the bark with her knuckles. It was different from the trees back home. Maybe oak? Cedar? Didn't matter. She snapped off a branch and continued to break said branch into smaller sticks. Trees were incredibly handy components and she wasn't about to let it go to waste.

The curious young lady turned to acknowledge the others only after she had gathered the twigs and sticks. She couldn't help herself, supplies were often so hard to come by back home now that her neighbors kept making their fences too tall and too pointed to climb reliably. As she glanced at the others and at the overgrown castle she found it weird that no one was doing much of anything. Sure, the whole teleportation thing was definitely worthy of some confusion, but when had standing around ever accomplished anything?

"Hey!" Rinh cupped her hands around her mouth as she spoke, waving her Gauntlet-clad right hand over her head. "Isn't this place cool? Just so you know, my name's Rinh and I dunno who you guys are but in a few years you'll all have heard of me. HEY, LADY!" Rinh now was talking to the one who had been with the strange cane-guy. "This place have a room with a window and good ventilation? Because I'm calling dibs on it right now."

With the introduction, of sorts, out of the way, Rinh turned her attention to more pressing matters. Like lifting up a nearby stone to look for moss or other useful things. This sort of flora and fauna would do wonders for her experiments.

Compared to games like Sonic Free Riders... it wasn't that bad.

@Lamb Of Goth

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.

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?

@GingerBoi123

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 told 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.

Underrated: Radiata Stories, recently found that game and my ps2 while cleaning our attic and I forgot how much fun it is.
