If memory serves some of the comparisons to Skyrim where made by CDPR themselves. Even if it was just the size of the world or that Skyrim is kind of bland by comparison.

That being said this was indeed a long time ago (2013?) and since then only press have been doing it. Thankfully less and less frequently. Here is hoping that by the time the game comes out it will be compared against 2014 games and not 2011 ones.

What concerns me more is the never-ending hyperbole. "Making Skyrim look like a walk in the park"? That's something that wouldn't sound out of place coming from an uncompromising fanboy such as myself, not on the frontpage of literally every magazine covering TW3. It's like the game doesn't need any marketing because every one already expects it to be the best thing ever.:facepalm:

Precisely, but how do you compare it to new people who never bought a witcher game?

As much as it angers me to have that generic piece of crap of a game being compared to the Witcher series, I can understand it ... :(

Comparing started from the very beginning, IIRC...First info we got for W3 was that it's 16 times bigger then Skyrim
I don't really mind it, but 2 games have only one similarity - open world...

I agree, it was CDPR who mainly caused this comparison to arise, and gaming journos being gaming journos, they use it over and over again to hype like they always do.

As expected, no actual hands-on, but here's what's new/interesting:

- New creature revealed: the Botchling, a creature that comes as a result of miscarriage. When a pregnant woman miscarries her baby and abandons its body, without giving the child a name, there's a chance that the child will come back to life in the form of a Botchling. There's a quest described regarding this creature, in great detal, so I'll put it in SPOILER tags:

A Botchling forms the important part of a quest concerning the wife of a powerful warlord who lost a child. The child, in monstrous form, is attacking and drinking the blood of locals - Geralt is hired to help. The choice here is to either convince the warlord to accept his baby and take it to the place where a special dispelling ritual is going to be conducted, or Geralt can kill it and set off with the bounty. As you might expect, both have their consequences and fit into the broader story. The choice is always left to you.

- A bit on Kaer Morhen: it plays "a big part in the game."

- On Nilfgaard: Some maybe spoiler-ish stuff:
As the story progresses, the advance of these armies will affect the story and locations you've visited. The Nilfgaardians likely just want more land, but their invasion dovetails with the reappearance of the Wild Hunt.

P.S. They made a Ciri-ous pun. Ugh.

CDPR are doing a version of the botchling? Oh man, now that I am curious to see. One of the creepiest things I had the chance to read about over the years.
