Eskel. Both are probably equally capable of keeping you alive, but Eskel would be infinitely better company on the road.

The entire soundtrack was fantastic, but if I had to pick one track as a favorite it would be The Fields of Ard Skellig....one of the most hauntingly beautiful ambient tracks I've ever heard in a video game. I won't link that one since I'm assuming everyone remembers that track. Ard Skellige...

1. Hears of Stone 2. The Bloody Baron 3. The Last Wish Honorable Mention: Blood & Wine

The new medallion art likely suggests a protagonist from whichever school it is meant to represent (Cat, or Lynx?) rather than players having a choice of schools, but I would be very surprised if there wasn't a character creator. If the main character is original & not from the books, there is...

Geralt can quite literally stop to play Gwent while Ciri is in danger, and while Geralt for a long while only has some clues to Ciri's whereabouts and nothing definite...he does know right from the start that she is in mortal danger. The story sort of demands that Geralt should be focusing on...

A combo of solid voice acting, a good character design, Jackie having a personality that makes it easy for many to like him, and the fact that he was front and center in a lot of the early marketing so fan hype built him up to be more than his actual content in the game. In retrospect he was...

You are one person. If any of those three corporations grow to be the size of CDPR, with yearly profits that are over $100,000,000, it's not going to be just about you. CDPR has over 1,000 employees as well as shareholders that expect a return on their investment. I also didn't necessarily...

Counterpoint: CDPR not only released a game on base consoles long before it was ready, they actively tried to deceive players about the state of the game on base consoles so their preorder numbers wouldn't take a hit. A corporation pulled a highly anti-consumer corporate move. No one should...

Yes. The genre itself is inherently political and the world Mike Pondsmith created is no different. It takes a rather dim view (a justified one, IMO) on unrestrained capitalism for example. When "gamers" complain that some game is political they aren't really bothered that the game had a...

I was in error. 59% of sales were for the PC as of December of 2020, so the remainder would be split between older & newer consoles. That said it is a safe bet that the majority of console sales were for old hardware, because that is what the majority of console players would have likely had...

Perhaps, but Cyberpunk 2077 wouldn't have been the same game only more polished had it been released solely as a PC and next gen title. Old hardware accounted for something like 40% of all sales. If you're going to be tossing aside almost half of all potential sales, the development costs need...

Or Geralt. If CP 2077 is not an RPG, than neither were any of the Witcher games.

That gets into the whole deal about what exactly is consciousness, which even scientists and philosophers struggle to answer. That is probably why the game seems to give contradictory impressions. Going forward V is probably meant to wrestle with the idea of whether they're actually V or just a...

It was financially successful. Enough copies were sold that DLC is almost certain. You got a complete story and an ending. DLC that provides new story content after that is a bit like a mini sequel. Unless that content was complete and cut from the main game to later sell as DLC, calling it a...

Nothing new there and DLC has been a thing for a couple decades now. Just about every RPG that is successful has DLC that continues the protagonist's story after the main game. That said not all DLC should be judged equally. One that provides new content that wasn't cut from the main game...
