KnightHasen Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 As much as I enjoyed FO4, I still think Witcher 3 was a better game overall. Bethesda killed their chances when they made Fallout a hollow shell of its predecessors. There's a reason Witcher 3 received almost 5 times as many GoTY picks. That said, I'm still going to put many more hours into Fallout 4 because modding gives the game near infinite content & replability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WursWaldo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Which raises a question...why hasn't modding the Witcher caught on? Last time I checked the tools were considerably more difficult to use, but still...I think that is due to the protagonist being set as Geralt and players not being able to make their own characters. Primarily here at Nexus people are used to Bethesda games where they can make their character look however they like. On the other hand TW3 modding is limited to fit the confines of the base story driven game. For me, that is a modding interest shortfall.IF ProjektRed made a game with the same technical and visual qualities as TW3 but allowed mod freedom (make your own character, add complicated quests, etc.) people would start modding it, imo. Imagine freedom to mod like a Bethesda game but with a story and world setting made by ProjektRed. I think it would be a huge success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully their cyberpunk game works out well. I really like the Shadowrun series, and I'm hoping CDPR can nail that Gibsonian cyberpunk feel.

DarthDeadMan Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 .why hasn't modding the Witcher caught on? I believe it's because tools are still VERY user-unfriendly, and even if you figure out how to use them, you are very limited at what you can do with them. You can play around with game mechanics, you can edit visuals, but that's all. You can't make new areas, you can't make new quests, etc... No doubt there's no so much active modders as in Skyrim or Fallout communities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WursWaldo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Something else to consider as to why TW3 modding hasn't taken off like Bethesda modding does is a need for mods. In reality some of the most popular Nexus mods are cosmetics for female characters; nude replacers, better face textures and so on. Those sorts of things aren't really needed to begin with to make a game good but TW3 already has them packaged with the game. When I look at the personality NPCs in TW3 I don't see room for improvement. Yennifer, Triss, Keira, Jutta look great as is. Cyberpunk: I saw a video where the developers were talking to the original author of the pencil and paper 'Cyberpunk' RPG from the late 1980s. That was way before my time for gaming but from what I gathered the author is lead design adviser. ProjektRed is making video game based on his original Kafkaesque dystopian vision. It sounds promising and they are in no rush, making the best game they're capable of. Bethesda could take a lesson or two from them, but that is another subject entirely.

weepingman Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I like Fallout alright, but yet to try out Witcher. Witcher 2 is free for download on XBOX Live until Feb 5, so will try it out when I get back home. My hunch is I still would like Fallout more though.

thebfa54 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Fallout is better than witcher 3, and Fallout 4 is the best one of all the fallout games! xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luj1 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Get real, FO4 cannot be really compared to TW3 TW3 is high quality in all respects, FO4 is a half-done copy-pasted fake ass world. Bethesda stopped finishing their games when they realized fans will fix them for free using the toolset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesGoblin Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 FO4 easily. People are already slowly forgetting Witcher, and Bethesda is like wine...it will take couple years to peak, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
