I have a lot of criticism for The Witcher 3, but one thing I really appreciated was making lore and character background available for reading. It really helped with this newcomer's understanding of the world and story. (And later, with my understanding of the TV series.)

If you like reading and are into the Witcher I have just the thing for you.

The books I assume

[–] Satiric_Weasel@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

No, their fan-fiction.

[–] ono@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

Don't think I haven't considered it. :)

As long as they don’t overpromise and underdeliver that’s fine by me

Isn't that the goal of every game sequel?

[–] CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, it is now that every game takes so long to develop. That’s the unfortunate part of long dev cycles. Imagine asking people to play morrowind before recommending Skyrim to them. That seems wild but then you remember how long it took to get games like Fallout 4 or breath of the wild. Don’t do that and you end up with a series like Metro which are amazing games but have prerequisites that lead to a more niche following.

Ok, but people should play Morrowind before Skyrim. Or after Skyrim.

Is it?

I normally wouldn't start a game which has a sequel before playing the former titles, TW3 was an exception though.

I'm guessing you've never played bioware games.

I hope they’ve been working on a really good new fight that I have have a thousand times over.
