I<br \/>was in quarantine, I was sad, and I would block out any and all sun light. I<br \/>found a cheap version of the game on G2A and I was desperate to feel literally<br \/>anything at all. What I felt the first time I delved into the story was<br \/>astonishment. it&#8217;s easy to tell that the people behind this game really did<br \/>care about the story they were working with and the characters and establishing<br \/>them, something I really did not feel when I played <em>Cyberpunk<\/em>. Geralt,<br \/>is a very likable character while still having his edge. You really do feel<br \/>like you are in his world, and you feel immersed into it further by his<br \/>dialogue and the story choices throughout the game. The<em> Witcher 3<\/em> uses multi-level<br \/>storytelling, meaning of certain decision at one point in the game can impact<br \/>the entire outcome at the very end. There really is a sense of importance when<br \/>it comes to picking one decision over the other because of the way their<br \/>storytelling is implemented.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, you have the other characters who all have<br \/>their own interesting backstories and motives and there isn&#8217;t a single one that<br \/>gets boring or annoying. I personally really liked Keira Metz, Yennefer, Triss,<br \/>and of course, Ciri. I could also appreciate the establishing world that we<br \/>were given for these characters, as it very well established them in that<br \/>context.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, what I liked about The <em>Witcher<\/em> the most was<br \/>that it was so free range and that there were so many side quests to do that it<br \/>never got boring being within this world. with there being several territories,<br \/>hidden sites, and treasures to steal, oddly be enough, I found that the most<br \/>intriguing part of the game. I liked how it had an impact on where I ended up<br \/>later in the game, whether that be level wise, item wise, or skill wise.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard not to compare these two games to each other as<br \/>they were from the same company. But in all fairness, CD Projekt Red knew what<br \/>they were getting into, and it&#8217;s hard not to acknowledge the stark contrast in<br \/>likeability between these two projects.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, I went on a very passionate tangent about thefailings of Cyberpunk 2077 on account of CD Projekt Red mishandling thisproject.
