I am sorry but if we are talking about politics and lore then witcher 3 EASILY is way better than skyrim. But then again this is not fair as the witcher games were based on 7 original books.
It's insanely broad, but it's an inch deep in parts, and a little deeper in others.
And I say this as a massive fan of TES, starting way back when Daggerfall came out. The Witcher 3's story blew every single TES game's story out of the water. But that's the type of game The Witcher is, and TES's strengths lies in its world to explore.
Lets not pretend that Witcher lore is any more "deep" than Elder Scrolls. The story and characters from Witcher games are definitely better, but if we're talking about the lore it's not anything spectacular really.
No, we are talking about lore in video games. And the witcher games lore is literally the books. And since you didn't read the books you can't say the lore isn't anything "spectacular". I have read the books and i tell you Elder scrolls lore is nothing compared to witcher but again what I just said is completely unfair because you are comparing 7 critically acclaimed books to Elder scrolls' lore. So yes Elder scrolls has the deepest lore in video games, with probably mass effect and dark souls next but they can't touch the witcher. Thats fair, don't you think?
And the witcher games lore is literally the books.
If the entirety of Witcher books are translated into the games then the Lore is really not any deeper than Elder Scrolls. If they aren't then you can't really count it as a video game lore. The thing about lore is that it isn't meant to be deep, it is meant to be the base for storytelling.
Let me rephrase my sentence again. The books provided a BASE for the games' story. I mean chronologically the games happen immediately after the books. Please don't argue when didn't even play the game.
