5. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Witcher 3 Gameplay

When you tire of being a Dragonborn, how about trying life as a Witcher? Geralt of Rivia is a highly trained monster slayer for hire, also known as a Witcher. As Geralt, you are tasked with finding a child from a prophecy and along the way will be forced to make decisions that will affect the world, for better or for worse. You have access to a number of weapons and abilities like crossbows, swords, and telekinesis. This is good because there are a number of enemies to take on like human bandits and grotesque monsters. Some of those monsters are even affected by the game’s day/night cycle.

How it’s like Skyrim: The Witcher 3 has a high fantasy setting, open-world exploration, real-time combat, and is packed with interesting NPCs and side quests.

How it’s Different: The main difference is that you don’t create your own character. But this doesn’t hinder roleplay, as you get plenty of choice over how your Geralt interacts with the world. Also, it’s sometimes nice to have an avatar that has a voice in conversation.

There is a whole world to explore out there.

People don’t really like the Witchers, even though towns would be overrun without them.
