| Scisca said: Can't go with anything else than CD Projekt RED, since The Witcher 3 is the GOTG so far. Still, I gotta say that praising them for the lore of the game is kinda undeserved. It's like praising a dev who makes a Lord of the Rings game for the lore. That credit goes to Andrzej Sapkowski and his outstanding books, which I recommend to everyone! |
You're right about the lore bit. I have his books, I think that the English translation has caused them to lose some quality though, they're really heavy on exposition, to the point where it annoys me, and the character development is a little weak. But the political landscape and social commentary is brilliant, I especially like his portrayal of the struggle between religion and state and he has some really strong shows of racial and cultural issues as well.
The fights are well written in the books as well, when you hear the combat themes in the games, it really takes you back to those written fighting scenes.
