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

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
