steal for humans silver for monsters
Daedric for Daedra welcome to
watchmojo.com issue I need to know what
we’re dealing with
this is gonna be a five-round
winner-take-all showdown just a little
reminder we’re pitting the entire
franchises against each other so this
isn’t just the witcher 3 versus skyrim
we’re looking at both series from top to
bottom you know I don’t find that
amusing round one story and lore wake up
here why are you shaking are you okay
for this round some could say that The
Witcher has a bit of an unfair advantage
having drawn its world and characters
from Andre sapkowski’s novels the games
have always had a solid base from which
to build their world I can’t explain it
I feel a bond when we speak I know you
were important but the series certainly
can’t be accused of resting on its
laurels using the books as a jumping
point the games have been able to tell
rich fascinating tales populated by
unique and colorful characters
there was a long day I wish to hear the
important bits any game can give you
factions The Witcher games have politics
surrender area you’ll be treated with
honor
go blow yourself King sure you can go to
bed with NPC’s in a ton of different
RPGs but how often can you say you
experienced genuine romance this
white-haired devil certainly has
that’s not to say that the Elder Scroll
series is lacking in the lore Department
with innumerable deities religions
regions nations towns factions and races
you could go on and on wouldn’t want
them to think you’re part of the common
rabble now would we
diehard fans can tell you where our goal
Ian’s come from what a cos eats guilty
pleasure is or which areas of Barden
fell you might want to avoid if you
don’t want to get caught in an ash storm
where would you like to go and Bethesda
has built all of this from the ground up
that’s an impressive feat by any means
but in the storytelling Department but
as does RPGs often fall flat their
strict dogmatic adherence to
non-linearity means that telling a
cohesive narrative is often next to
impossible
what’s this prisoner doing here this son
is supposed to be off-limits usual
mix-up at the watch I never mind get
that gate open since they can never
really know what character you’ve made
and what you’ve done so far the quests
characters and story all have to play it
very safe often the best story to come
out of these games are the stories that
players make for themselves that’s
commendable but it’s not really what
we’re looking for here there are a few
ways we can do this and the choice is
yours
for being able to capitalize on the lore
in order to tell deeper or emotional
tales the white wolf takes this round
winner The Witcher success we’ll see in
a minute I knew it would work
round 2 role-playing who are you so how
much RP do you get from these G’s how
well does it in the most literal sense
allow you to pick a roll and play it
take your papers off the table and go
see Captain gravis when it comes to the
witcher all that in-depth storytelling
comes at a price while you can choose to
pour your resources into herbalism magic
signs or pure badass swordplay
you’re quite pigeon-holed in what you
can and can’t do with your character
last I heard my dear I give the order
not you if you don’t really think swords
are cool and you’d rather shoot a bow or
raka gandalf style robe while tossing
fireballs you’re basically out of luck
so I have two options I can either start
cultivating turnips or leave on the
other side you cannot deny that but as
does RPGs give you options for your
character you’ll finally arrive records
don’t show recent entries may have
trimmed down those options a bit but
you’re still giving a massive amount of
control over what your character can do
players are free to mix and match to
their heart’s content heck even have to
pick an astrological sign before you can
begin which sign marked your birth
reading might be so 2010 but the fact
that dialog on your end is primarily
confined to text not only allows for a
greater variety of responses but also
allows you to project any sort of
personality you desire on to your unique
character creation
I haven’t told always being a priest and
my youth I followed a different path
sure it might not be as seamless and
cinematic but if role-playing is what
you’re really after that’s a sacrifice
that’s well worth it for allowing you to
play the role you want the way you want
the Elder Scrolls series handily mops up
this round winner the Elder Scrolls you
take all my things
please
round three environment and world we are
not welcome here in White Rock so we
will be in roar extent if you learn
anything so now that you got your
character where do you go regardless of
the lore what are the worlds you’re
exploring like and how much of an
incentive is there to just go get lost
ready to go how many times are you going
to ask me that
to the swamp the Elder Scrolls games
have been doing the sandbox RPG thing
long before anyone ever used the term
sandbox RPG one thing you know is that
the world is always gonna be huge
while Skyrim essentially set a new
standard for how big and dense an RPG
can be earlier entries like morrowind
and even Daggerfall had already set the
bar extremely high not only were these
places huge but there is perhaps no
other series that gives you a better
reason to lose yourself in the
wilderness diving into dangerous caves
and scanning the horizon for interesting
landmarks on top of that the open-ended
nature of these games suit these
environments perfectly most people will
tell you that if you leave the tutorial
section only to go straight to your
first quest marker you’re totally doing
it wrong first you need to get out of
here through that door must be the
entrance to the sewers past the locked
gate that’s what we were heading so if
we were only counting The Witcher 3 s
gorgeous world this would be a much
tighter race while some areas might look
a bit samey that doesn’t take away from
the fact the Wild Hunt environments are
some of the best we’ve ever seen
the added benefit of next-gen Hardware
certainly helps but the technical feed
on display cannot be understated the
series as a whole though has often
struggled to break free from linearity
The Witcher 2 did a good job of making
the environments feel open-ended but a
quick look at your map often revealed
that the sprawling forest you found
yourself in was more of a series of
interconnected pathways and corridors
plus there was never the same push to
discover and explore and you had to
tackle each larger zone in a specific
order hmm see him dashing along those
wolves got Rodney say I have a Saudi so
the blade moves so fast this round goes
to the scrolls winner the elder scrolls
that can only mean one thing you must be
dragon pawn
round 4 combat if there was ever
something that turned people off from
the first few entries in the Elder
Scrolls series it was probably the
combat
Morrowind looked fantastic in
screenshots but as soon as the sword
starts swinging things get a bit
floating every subsequent entry improves
upon its predecessor but the overall
feeling is always a bit lacking
Skyrim was definitely the biggest step
forward but there’s still plenty left to
be desired in the combat Department
though The Witcher games benefit from
their singular character design because
Geralt is always going to be a sword
master the developers have been able to
make combat into a tighter or visually
impressive package each time while the
way the swordplay works may vary
slightly from entry to entry the end
result is almost always something better
than what the elder scrolls can come up
with the added bonus of a fixed
third-person perspective also certainly
helps the Witcher clinch this round
winner The Witcher
round five legacy you heard the summons
what else could it mean okay so how have
these franchises affected the gaming
industry as a whole and what legacy did
they leave behind
I made sure a few potentially
trustworthy witnesses saw us together
could link us The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
was our game of the year for 2015
probably the first title to feel truly
next-gen it showed everyone just how big
polished and powerful in RPG could be
you’ve known many what’s it matter when
we ever thought of you but up until 2015
the series struggled to find its footing
the first Witcher game showed enormous
potential but it was still a bit of a
mess what do the villages do we mined
clay and produce bricks I see none
working so much so that it had to get a
rereleased enhanced edition to fix
nagging issues like an opaque menu
system and crazy long load times
assassins of Kings the sequel was a huge
leap in the right direction in terms of
storytelling and presentation but many
of the systems didn’t quite gel and the
slightly simplified combat system didn’t
help either
I think we can all agree that the third
entry definitely hit it out of the park
but it was coming up too bad as a major
underdog well come on while the
elderscrolls definitely had a head start
in this department
the legacy of what bethesda has created
has had an immeasurable impact on the
gaming industry perhaps the gods have
placed you here so that we may meet
while arena
Daggerfall and morrowind incrementally
grew the series from cult classic to
well-known franchise oblivion and Skyrim
basically rewrote the book on open-world
games simply put they didn’t just raise
the bar for RPGs they raised it for
games in general that hasn’t been a
dragon bond scene in the land for
centuries perhaps the best example we
can use to illustrate of just how much
of an impact Skyrim alone has had on the
industry is the fact that even though
it’s four years older and on a different
generation of Hardware people still hold
it up against the witcher 3 to compare
the pros and cons
it remains the zero point in many
people’s minds against which all other
RPGs are compared and evaluated although
if CD Projekt RED continues to push the
genre like it has that might soon change
for now though bethe soft baby has left
the biggest debt winner elderscrolls
lead the way well there you have it
folks while The Witcher is a beloved
series with a spectacular recent entry
the role-playing shops and impact on the
industry that the Elder Scrolls series
has built up over time we’re just enough
to keep it from being dethroned by that
new kid on the block with the fancy
hairdo our winner the Elder Scrolls so
what do you think of our verdict be sure
to clash silver and steel in the comment
section and for more great videos
published every day Hale sis
