I've always had trouble immersing myself in RPG:s. Whether it's been frequently reused content, hollow characters or bad writing, there's almost always been something breaking it. In The Witcher 3 nothing has been left untouched. The world abounds with life, and so does all the characters. There are no "kill 5 monsters" quests , all side-quests are unique and tell their own storys, sometimes deeply touching. The writing is superb, and surprisingly human. There are no thing as "the good" or "the evil", and the decisions you make actually matter. Everything you do has consequences. Throw in a great combat system, top notch video and audio work and fantastic support from the developers and you have one of the best RPG in years! Heartily recommended!
