2020 and it is still the best
Since everyone likes to compare The Witcher 3 to Skyrim, I will do so too. The landscape of The Witcher is less grandios but still very pretty, the fighting is more complex and more satisfying when mastered than that of Skyrim. But it is the story and the characters where The Witcher outshines Skyrim. One of the missions, the one of the baron and his wife and daughter, just plain made me cry. It was the best story I ever experienced in any computer game! There and in many other missions of The Witcher, your decision matter and turn the story drastically. In contrast, the missions in an Elders Scroll game play like something the the developers were forced to add, while the player should really just gawk at the landscape. The way the whole world revolves around the player chararcter in TES is just embarrassing. You will not find that in any Witcher game. All the above are for the main game, the addons however are more like "meh". The Addon "Hearts of Stone" I completed, but the story and many of the goodies felt rather shallow. I distinctly did not like the boss fights which felt like from console game, with a distinct choreography and a script to learn. I quit the game after finishing the main game and the Hearts of Stone addon. Coming back two years later, I could not bring myself to deleve into the "Blood and Wine" addon though its compelling graphic style is very different from all the other region in its bright pastell colors. For me main story concluded this game. Playing each addon puts you before that conclusion and I never could cope with that. My recommendation is, if you play the game and like it, play both addons before attempting any of the final main missions. And now, go and buy it!
