Well, given that I'm in mid 40s, you do undestand how 27 is "a bit younger"...no hard feelings meant, just that a lot of folks these days who seem to play Bethesda games never actually played anything else when it comes to WRPGs, and you specifically, for some reason, compared what I've said about "create your own hero" with their games...which is kinda funny, given how often I bash them, and specially FO3/4 for ruining Fallout. Anyway, I have no problem in fairly linear RPGs with more defined main characters...actually, I would even prefer that Witcher 3 was more linear like W2, the way it turned out in the end seemed like open-world was slapped on, unlike IPs like Gothic where good mixture of story and exploration works exactly because you are a "Nameless Hero"...actually, I'd say, for all good RPGs that have lot of potential in playing your character very differently and exploring world, while having good stories, this is almost a prerequisite of a sort, since hard fixing character is just limiting options. But, in the end it comes to personal preference, I'd almost always take more variety and replayability in RPG over pre-defined characters, especially when it comes to open-world RPGs...as for 2077, after digging a bit, it seems I don't have to worry much, though the info is bit old, it looks like we'll have much more freedom when it comes to main character than in Witcher. |
Its cool, I tough you were under the impression I wasnt around on the first generations of videogames (fun fact my father bought an Atari when I was born, he convinced my mother saying it was "for the baby", it was obviously for himself but hey I dont complain I got to grow up around videogames) but indead I am a bit younger than you. About the bolded part, its probably because I recently finished Fallout 4 and the horribly written story is still sticking like a sore thumb in my mind.
I get what you are saying, but I think Witcher 3, albeit very restrictive on the character part , integrated its open world well to the story, the sidestorys and interactions that happen along the way, and the hiden treasures and snipets of lore hiden troughout the world made the experience feel very imersive to me. Personaly I prefer something in the midle of what Witcher 3 did and what Gothic does when it comes to character creation, the best example I can find for the format I think works the best in a videogame is realy Mass Effect and Dragon Age, you have libertys but the character has enought pre-set to integrate it properly to the world and story being presented.
I'll play Cyberpunk for sure regardless of what direction they go, and Im not too concerned with the story on a CDPR game, theyre masters at that department, I trust these Polish wizards to deliver us a great game theyve proven themselves more than enought already.
