These are our best arguments for why The Witcher 3 should come out on top.

Every conversation includes multiple dialogue branches, allowing players to shape their characters personality through words and actions.

Since Skyrim has torches and bright spells, Bethesda should have included areas of complete darkness.

Plus, torches wouldnt look as ridiculous and useless as they currently do.

Since the red dots dont hover over specific NPCs, players can easily mistake an ally for an enemy.

If gamers accidentally strike a non-hostile NPC, the NPC will turn into an enemy.

Multiple hours can be wasted trying to fight characters that players dont realize are invincible.
