The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is "The Next Step for RPGs"

Check it out
quote:
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s grand idea is to marry true open-ended role-playing with the confident, subversive storyline and writing that the series excels at. “I think this is the next step for RPGs – the combination of a strong storyline and open-world gameplay,” says Meteusz. “Previously Skyrim has shown that Bethesda are masters – they can create a full-of-life, unique world with a huge amount of events and small story quests, and as I’ve mentioned before in other interviews I admire this game very, very much - the only thing missing was a strong storyline.”

Unlike Skyrim, The Witcher 3 won’t do enemy scaling. It’s an open world more like that of Dark Souls, where if you wander into tempting new areas you’re likely to get your arse handed to you by whatever awful creatures live there. But there’s no artificial gating; you can hop on a horse and ride from the huge Norse-inspired city of Novigrad to the Slavic No-Man’s Land. In the island archipelago of Skellige, you can swim or take a boat between the islands

I've got to try Witcher 2. I keep hearing how great it is. Is the original Witcher on 360?

There is a lot more in the article too, but it's too much to quote. I am very excited about this.

No it's not. It's quite different from W2 as well. And damn it I was the original Witcher fanboy here!

fricking right. And I love the Witcher devs, they know how to make a great RPG. In contrast with Skyrim, the only thing that's really been "missing" from The Witcher series is a more open world. Maybe we'll finally get a game that manages to provide a story-driven experience, with meaningful choices and great characters, in an open world setting. So far games have always leaned toward one side or the other, i.e. Skyrim for open world, The Witcher 2 for story and characters.

day 1 buy for me
No scaling. Thank god. Dangerous areas need to be dangerous. 1 shotting everything by level 30 in skyrim was fricking stupid.
No artificial gates...jeffy like.

I don't think I was posting on the GB during those years, but I would have definitely e-knighted for The Witcher. Good on you for doing so.

I plan to eventually. I usually wait until any single player or RPG games drop in price a good bit
