The developer and designer of The Witcher 3 spoke to GameInformer about the game and how they are so inspired by Skyrim. They believe that this inspiration can lead them to making a ‘Perfect RPG’.
Konrad said:
The player was put into the story and couldn’t just run away and do something else but now player scan explore the world and story how they want to.
While talking about Skyrim Bethesda, he said:
The story line is generic and the exploring is but when we combine it with our knowledge from the previous games it will be the perfect RPG.
The Witcher 3 will have horse-riding and more stuff like that so it becomes easier journeying the game. It will be releasing sometime in 2014.
