I knew from the beginning that ES is gonna win because this channel is always afraid of saying something that the people may not agree with.
I've honestly never watched a video on watch mojo that i liked.. Their comparisons are always stupid and always come out with the conclusion that the majority of people want to hear!
Hello yes, I am a fan of both and appreciate both. Please do not crucify me.
I just finished witcher 3..and no game ever made me attach so much to its characters. Not to mention that most likely I will never get to see them again (in another game).
Witcher was a masterpiece that can't ever be compared to Skyrim thats for sure! Its just beter!
10 times.
Its just too good but it was also much more easy for them.
One main character(or 2 with ciry) to control, one combat pattern, one style of weapons, only 5 damn spells, no first person, Skill tree was bad to say tge least, one character model to do and animate compared to huge options on Skyrim that had to be bound each to lore, when witcher had one, the story was pretty much done beforehand since many times you just meet old friends and make a quest tied to an older event unlike Skyrim which had to make a new story and completely new characters. Witcher had it all set up, with all characters and personality premade and story too. They just got their looks, story, and overall stuff to work with when skyrim had to work with every aspect of a new game not just making the old game better, and make it all work for the average pc in 2011 so the looks can't even be compared fairly.
All things considered I love the Witcher and I will surely miss it! While Skyrim not so much, as I didn't got so attached to its characters or moments…I really hated the nords too.. just too shitty as to what you imagine on a Nord in ancient times .. a bunch of sissies on light armour and long hair. Even the Skellige people from witcher were more men than the nords of Skyrim..
Lore – TES Story – Witcher
Reading the nerd rage in the comments section is almost as enjoyable as either game.
Elder scrolls.. really! Mojo u dumb af
The witcher 3 is like movie to me.
This is a bad comparison. Witcher is a story with a character that is already made. That makes the storytelling much easier since your personality and background are already established. Elder Scrolls is all about creating a character and having that character affect the world. Yes, they both have swords and magic, but apart from that they are insanely different games.
This narrator is a douche, deserves cancer
The elder scrolls has a shitload of lore and interesting things to discover around it's massive world witcher on the other hand I guess you can say is okay but has bland feeling to it
Both are completely amazing, yet not at all alike. Comparing them makes no sense. Both 10/10
BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! what kind of a contest was that??? Witcher is the clear winner….
It's interesting how people say "The Witcher 3" and "Skyrim" when it's clearly The Witcher franchise versus the Elder Scrolls. Not one game out of both. That's absurd.
TES: better rpg
The Witcher: better action adventure game
For a lore side tes wins (the tes world is just much more interesting)
For a gameplay side witcher wins (unless you want to roleplay something specific then yeah tes )
Haha environment elder scrolls win. The ugly world of morrowind can't even stand in front of the witcher 1
I personally love both franchises so I didn't really care which one will win. After seeing the comments all I thought was: You bitches are salty as fuck.
You just cant compare that bethesda bugged junk with a masterpiece like The Witcher. It s pointless and retarded to compare them. Just when i look at the movement, combat system on that bethesda junk i ve seen enough lmao. Not to mention story and graphics.
Only a brainless retard can say skyrim is better. Watch mojo srsly ? Hahahaha
Roleplayingisn't about classes or stats or ways to fight though, it is about role : that is, taking decisons in the story/plot, choices and consequences. Classes are meaningless, what matters is roleplay choice : role playing game, not class playing game.
Witcher is better
Elder scrolls is so much better
Finally a good list
Dovahkiin fus ro dah Gerald to death (ive played The Elder Scrolls for over 8k hours (all games), and all the Witchers for over 4k hours, TES wins obviously
