Why do people still play this game?

Mid storytelling and gameplay that puts you to sleep, skyrim is much more fun than this.

For me, Witcher 3 blows Skyrim away. I disagree with your assertions, and I love playing this game.

[Xenon The Noble]

I don't know how to play Skyrim.
I don't know how to play Witcher 3. Any good guides? Not one that is stupid that makes Steam guides useless?
I want to learn how to play and then see if this REDKit makes decent mods. Cuz the Creation kit for Fallout 4 is totally borked since the "free update".

I love both The Witcher 3 and Skyrim. They are both fun and compelling games in their own way. But in terms of storytelling, The Witcher 3 is far better than Skyrim IMO.

In my opinion, Skyrim is only good with mods, TW3 is good without needing mods

At risk of sounding extremely pretentious, I'll say that Witcher 3 isn't supposed to be merely played, but experienced.

Skyrim - and Elder Scrolls in general - is built like a sandbox, you can just skip cutscenes and dialogues, rush to the combat, quickly gather loot and rush next to another encounter. You can ingore the main quest, you can ignore all the quests and instead powergame on the nearest craft-bench to get Daedric armor in the first two or four hours. The gameplay is top priority, story is just there to give you context.

With Witcher, you can't really do that. If you are skipping dialogues, trying to cheeze through leveling system to become as OP as possible asap and if you just rush from one combat encounter to another, you won't get it. If you want to simply dungeon crawl or buy a house, you won't get it.

You have to really immerse yourself into it, take your time, listen to what people say, listen to what Geralt says, enjoy the scenery and cinematography, listen to the ambient soundtrack. It isn't called The Path for nothing, the road is as important as destination. Embrace its story driven nature and you'll get why it became so legendary.

Because there are no great games anymore.

[Desmond Sparrs]

if you think Skyrim's story is better than I feel sorry for you. And your parents.

Playing Witcher is like being a character in a story. Playing Skyrim is like being a player in a game. I love them both

Got very good news for you; There are hundreds of games out there geared towards children that like endless action, non-stop combat, explosions everywhere and skeery gigantic monsters that pounce on you every 9 seconds.

Bait thread. OP's post history speaks volumes.
