Geralt from “The Witcher” is a character with a rich backstory, an abundance of social connections and a very specific occupation. As a witcher, he makes a living protecting people from all kinds of monsters, and, in addition, he is looking for his adopted daughter Ciri. Yes, Geralt now and then finds himself involved in court intrigues or military conflicts. In almost any situation, Polish developers provide several exit options. Depending on the player’s chosen style of behavior, Geralt can be either a cynical mercenary, or a selfless knight, or be somewhere between these extremes. But the witcher will always use only a few simple spells and will not become a full-fledged sorcerer. He does not have the prospect of turning into a supernatural creature or becoming a secretly acting killer. In “Wild Hunt” the place of the hero in the world is quite clearly defined, and the focus of attention is his personal history. But how it will develop depends on the decisions of the player.
The Witcher and Skyrim offer two fundamentally different protagonists, which largely determines many other important differences between the two games. The Dragonborn, unlike Geralt, has no written past. He is a blank sheet on which the player can write whatever he wants The third part of The Witcher and the fifth The Elder Scrolls can be safely called the most outstanding fantasy RPG games of the past decade. Both became incredibly popular, sold millions of copies, spawned dozens of memes and became one of the main standards of the genre. At the same time, the games are based on largely opposite approaches to the RPG genre, and it is all the more interesting to compare “Wild Hunt” and “Skyrim”, which we decided to do.
